Chapter 241:
The players set out to return to Crimson Citadel early the next morning. Just transporting the large amount of supplies back would take two days and three nights on the road, causing players to complain furiously about how hardcore and meticulous this game was in this aspect.
They said, “Why not just open a portal and let everyone return to the main city? That would be so much better! Instead of wasting time on the road like this.”
Fortunately, there were still remnants of roving gnolls along the way, so it wasn’t completely uneventful. They could pass the boring travel time by casually farming some points.
However, those wolfsbane cubs who were captured last night had already been sent back to Crimson Citadel ahead of time.
Due to the gravity of the matter, Hunting Baron Kudel personally escorted them. Before the first ray of dawn arrived, these fellows had been delivered to the Blood Vulture Halls.
Murphy and Tris had received the news in advance.
But the one who came to receive these prisoners was not the two of them, but the Silver Bow Knight Lainnia Galanord Cappadocia, the commander of the Blood Pact Knights stationed in the Transia region, with a cold expression on her face.
Clearly, Murphy had played a little trick.
He didn’t intend to personally appear before the Blood Pact Knights to accuse the Wolfsbane Clan of colluding with gnolls in an attempt to subvert Crimson Citadel. He knew well that truth only has meaning when it’s discovered by the right person.
