The lieutenant's cracked lips gradually formed a terrifying smile.
He looked at Cao Xing and the others, with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
"Oh? Trying a new trick today, trying to get information out of me?"
"Hah... You cultists should give up, no matter what means you use, I will never yield to you!"
"I know your goal, isn't it just to make me join the Light Church and then use my position to pass information to you?"
"I'm telling you, no way!"
The lieutenant shouted loudly.
Cao Xing, hearing this, cheerfully responded.
"Being able to speak so loudly means you still have a lot of strength!"
The lieutenant replied with disdain, "Hah... Do you think I'm as weak as you cultists?"
"You guys better wait, His Majesty the King will surely discover your conspiracy!"
"By then, the Knight Order and the Expeditionary Army of the Ice Crystal Kingdom will destroy each of your outposts, and your cultist bodies will all be hung on the city walls!"
Cao Xing asked with interest, "Is the Knight Order and the Expeditionary Army very strong?"
The lieutenant sneered, "Of course!"
"The King's Knight Order is made up of at least Fourth Rank powerhouses, including even more powerful Heavy Armored Knight Order and the Sword Order."
"Plus the Expeditionary Army, they can capture all of you cultists in one sweep!"
Cao Xing, realizing the situation, nodded, "Alright, we are not Hunters, those guys outside have already been killed by us."
Hearing this, the lieutenant gave a cold snort, "Do you think I will believe your nonsense?"
"You people will stop at nothing to make me spill information, I've seen it all before!"
Cao Xing felt speechless.
It seemed during the time of his capture, those Hunters had used various means on him.
He also knew that this lieutenant was very vigilant.
Then, he looked at the lock on the iron door and turned to Assam, "Break the lock."
Assam obeyed and, raising the ancient stabbing sword in his hand, slashed fiercely.
After a clash of metal, the chain was cut directly.
Seeing this, the lieutenant was a bit surprised but remained highly cautious.
Cao Xing said, "Now, you can come out and see for yourself whether we are Hunters or not."
"The bodies of those guys are still piled up at the entrance of the village."
At this point, Cao Xing suddenly remembered something.
He took out a large pile of Hunter's masks, among them two Black Robed Priest masks.
"These were taken from the Hunters."
The lieutenant looked at the masks on the ground, some of which still had sword marks.
He hesitantly asked, "You say you're not Hunters, then why are you here?"
Cao Xing replied, "I am a Lord, and these people are my subordinates."
"This time we were out on some business and happened to pass by here."
"Then I saw someone like you, wearing nothing, running out for help, which tipped me off about these Hunters."
"So, I eliminated the guys in this village as a matter of course."
Hearing this, the suspicion in the lieutenant's eyes subsided a lot.
And after seeing the Druid and Half-Giant Putana beside Cao Xing, a look of realization appeared in the lieutenant's eyes.
"I believe you are a Lord now, these crazy cultists don't have the ability to make the Guardian Druid cooperate in a performance."
Beside him, Andrew said sincerely, "By the God of Nature above, you are right; we Druids have our own faith."
Cao Xing responded with a smile, not expecting Andrew to dismiss the lieutenant's doubts.
At this moment, the lieutenant said solemnly,
"Lieutenant of the Ice Crystal Kingdom, Declan Noble, thanks the young Lord for the rescue!"
Cao Xing nodded, "Lord Cao Xing."
"Lieutenant Declan, how did you end up here, and how were you captured by these Hunters?"
Cao Xing asked directly.
This Lieutenant Declan was very decisive, and after no longer doubting Cao Xing, he replied directly.
"This matter involves some confidential information about our Kingdom."
"According to the information we received, the Hunters' division in the Gale Snow Plain region is organizing a terrifying action!"
"But we're not exactly sure what the action involves."
"So General Tasid sent our scouting team to investigate the Gale Snow Plain."
"We then investigated in the Gale Snow Plain for many days and finally found a gathering place for the Hunters."
"So, we tried to infiltrate this cult."
"After lying low for a period of time, we discovered that the Hunters' influence in the Gale Snow Plain had developed to an extremely terrifying degree!"
"This organization has a large number of fanatical followers, and even Fifth Rank powerhouses!"
"More crucially, we learned of the Hunters' purpose, which is to summon the Alien Ghost Army through some ritual, to sweep the entire Ice Crystal Kingdom!"
At this point, a look of terror appeared in Lieutenant Declan's eyes.
"The Alien Ghost is a mysterious and malicious creature; it possesses incredibly terrifying ice abilities, any target it attacks, be it flesh or walls, would instantly freeze and then shatter!"
"City walls are useless against them, and they can turn all dead creatures into corpse ghosts, making these bodies fight for them."
