And they were merely incidental...
For a moment, a wave of indescribable emotion swept over them all.
Having a badass father was great, able to send such badass people for a rescue.
If Lord Reine hadn't come, even if these four blockheads had made it in, they'd probably end up just like the others, all hanging in cages...
"Damn, forgot the captain is still at the entrance of the hall," Alvis slapped his thigh forcefully. It only then dawned on him that in his shock, he had forgotten that captain Battista and Remiel were holding back the enemies.
Just as Alvis was about to signal everyone to leave, he immediately thought of something and quickly ran to Reine, saying, "Lord Reine, and you... Miss, let's get out of here right away."
"Our captain is holding off the Sea Clan in the corridor, he won't last much longer!"
"Of course," Reine nodded, he was of the same mind.
After all, the place gave him a bad feeling, an oppressive feeling in his soul.
Within the hall where the bronze doors stood.
A middle-aged man dressed in the Sea God Sect's style of robe respectfully approached a six-armed female Naga who was presiding over a ritual, slightly bowing as he said:
"High Priest Celinis, the witch circle has just shown that Garnis Leader's life flame has suddenly extinguished. What do you think..."
"Hmm, wasn't Garnis stationed in the Hall of Omens?"
"Ruljatz, you go take a look. If there are indeed invaders, you should know what to do."
"As you command, High Priest." A deep voice rose from a corner of the bronze hall.
Then, the owner of the voice slowly emerged from the shadows.
It was a colossal male Blood Curse Naga, his thick serpentine tail swaying as he passed through the water membrane...
Meanwhile, inside the Hall of Omens.
The rescued Imperial elites immediately picked up weapons from the bodies of the dead white-scale fishmen and Blood Curse Naga, then clustered around Reine and hurriedly made their way to the hall exit.
Suddenly, an explosion sounded ahead; a brawny man wielding an axe and shield and a young man with a staff stumbled back into the hall rather awkwardly.
They whispered in anger, "Alvis, what are you lot messing about at? After scouting for so long..."
Realizing something was amiss, Battista sharply turned his head to look, only to find a group of people escorting a somewhat familiar young man out of the hall.
Staff in hand, Remiel was even more astonished, his eyes wide as he pointed at Reine and exclaimed, "You... you're Reine, what are you doing here?"
Battista then remembered, this young man was the one they had encountered during the affair with the Meister Cult.
As the leader of the Blood Curse Naga, Stasha naturally knew this hall was under Garnis's responsibility.
But these humans were unaware that they had stepped into a trap and would soon be caught in a pincer attack by her and Garnis.
That was why, initially, she had ordered her kin to attack fiercely, but in the corridor, they reduced the ferocity and frequency of their assaults.
This band of humans was formidable, and a direct confrontation would be costly.
But now, they were exhausted. Once they entered the hall and saw Garnis waiting for them, despair would set in, and then she could easily capture them.
However, when Stasha led her kin to the entrance of the hall, she was stunned!
The scene before her eyes dumbfounded not only her but all her kin as well!
How did the elite humans previously captured to be used as sacrifices manage to escape?
Now the tables had turned!
Their planned encirclement had failed to materialize, and instead, this already weary human squad seemed invigorated, the worst part being that they had acquired reinforcements...
Stasha was hit with a wave of revulsion, as if she had swallowed a live fly!
And facing the Sea Clan that now appeared at the entrance of the hall...
The group was not fearful in the least but seemed ready to avenge their earlier disgrace.
After all, it's as if they had two Imperial Shaker squads and one Sword Bearer squad here; the odds of defeating this group of Sea Clan were quite high!
Especially with the enigmatic and highly skilled Lord Reine present.
At that moment, Reine's brow furrowed, and he immediately turned to look behind him.
Battista and Remiel also whirled around to look back.
But Naga Leader Stasha revealed a sly smile...
At the other end of the Hall of Omens, a huge figure slithered out, instantly filling the air with a strong and unsettling presence.
In front of them was an exceptionally tall and robust male Blood Curse Naga, standing at least three meters high; most striking was his left hand, on which appeared to be a two-meter long spiked tail of a conch.
