Chapter 286: Operation Exposed. Battle Against City Lord Reid

“You paid the deposit and ordered the necklace?”

Locke looked at Hathaway, who walked out triumphantly, and asked.

“Yes, they have spies everywhere. This necklace will take at least three days to prepare and the price isn’t cheap.

“I paid the deposit, which means we’ll stay in Cloud City for at least three days. By the time they realize that we’ve left, it’ll be too late.”

Hathaway raised her chin and gave an expression that said, “I’m smart, praise me.”

“Too deliberate. This method can fool fools, but the smart people ones can see through it with one glance.”

“What are we doing in Cloud City? We can even guess with our feet.”

“It’s not a secret that the Divine Light Dragon had been handed to the church. After hearing this news and seeing you deliberately order a valuable necklace that you don’t really need, there’s no meaning staying here any longer.

“Now that the city lord knows that we’re leaving, we can only compete to see who’s faster.”

Locke glanced at Hathaway.

Although she was smart, she was still too young.

She did not have enough understanding of the dangers of society.

Being smart was a big taboo.

These little tricks were nothing in front of an old fox.

“Then what should we do now?”

Hathaway thought that she had made a meritorious deed, but she did not expect that she would cause trouble instead. She felt uneasy.

Now that her Battle Beast had been poisoned to death, Locke had lost seventy percent of his combat power.

Under such circ.u.mstances, she actually thought that she was smart enough to leak the news.

If it was really like what Locke said, the city lord guessed that she would leave and set up an ambush in advance, would not that be harming Locke?

The more Hathaway thought about it, the more aggrieved she became. She pouted and looked at Locke with tears in her eyes. She was about to cry.

When she spoke, she was already crying.

“It doesn’t matter. When the time comes, we’ll face it. There are many people who want to kill me. I’m still alive and well.

“Since we can’t sneak away, we’ll leave openly.”

Locke hugged Hathaway and gave her a deep kiss on the street.

Then, ignoring Hathaway’s fl.u.s.tered look, he slapped her b.u.t.t and turned to walk toward the cloud city gate.

Hathaway consciously followed behind Locke.

Just now, she had already felt the heat of Locke’s lower body pressing against her.

Regardless of the critical moment, Locke used his strong willpower to control it.

At this point, if Hathaway still did not understand that Locke had used some unknown method to transfer the dragon tooth poison to his body.

Seeing that Locke’s strength had been suppressed because of the poison and he was forced to endure the burning pain of l.u.s.t, Hathaway’s heart was filled with sweetness, but there was also a hint of heartache.

The two walked side by side on the broad streets of Cloud City. The people around them consciously stood on both sides, making way for them.

Although the sun was still very high, Locke’s shadow began to elongate endlessly.

As huge shadows as if an abyss had struck out from the ground, the enormous figure of the Swamp Hydra once again appeared in Cloud City.

Roar!

The Swamp Hydra faced the sky and let out a deafening roar, announcing its existence.

After completing a small evolution, the Swamp Hydra’s strength had increased by another level.

Although Locke thought that he was at his weakest, the Swamp Hydra was indeed in its strongest form.

It was still a young body and it already had the aura of a tier 8 Battle Beast.

At the very least, it would not fear any enemy.

This was also the reason why Locke did not summon him.

With his voice just now, he could be heard within a radius of ten miles.

Locke stretched out his hand and pulled Hathaway onto the back of the Swamp Hydra. There was a violent gust of wind blowing on the spot, and the Swamp Hydra shot into the sky like a cannonball.

The wind and fire wings gave the Swamp Hydra the ability to fly, but it preferred to crawl.

A huge black snake that was hundreds of meters long and more than ten meters in diameter coiled in the sky.

It was as if a huge scar had appeared in the sky.

Using mana, the Swamp Hydra’s flying speed was no slower than the Divine Light Dragon.

However, it did not bother to escape.

The roar just now was deliberately done to inform the potential enemy of its position.

It soared into the sky.

Cloud City was too small for the Swamp Hydra.

Locke did not allow it to hurt innocent people, so it could not use its full strength.

As for an earth-type Battle Beast, giving up its geographical advantage to fight in the sky, whether or not it would be at a disadvantage was not considered.

The Swamp Hydra had nine heads and nine attributes.

Once the fusion was successful, including the light attribute that it had just obtained, regardless of priority, it would be its main attribute.

If he fought in the sky, he could just borrow the power of the gale.

For Swamp Hydra that was as fast as lightning, it was much more agile than the ground.

“Arrogant!”

Reid had been lying in ambush for a few hours at the bottom of the cliff outside Cloud City.

Ever since the messenger announced that Hathaway had paid the deposit, Reid immediately led the city lord’s guards over.

To make the act look realistic, Hathaway explained all kinds of details to the shop staff. Not only did she make Locke wait outside the shop for a long time, but she also made Reid wait outside Cloud City for a long time.

It had to be said that both of them had underestimated the woman’s dedication to jewelry.

Three hundred crossbowmen pulled the strings and nocked arrows, waiting for Locke to come out and give him a fatal blow.

After a few hours, they were so tired that they were dizzy.

The Swamp Hydra let out a howl and instantly woke everyone up.

Then, they saw a huge snake that was hundreds of meters long soaring into the sky. This Morning’s ambush had been in vain.

Due to the terrain of Cloud City, the most popular Battle Beasts were birds.

The rare Divine Unicorn of the light element was not even as popular as the Pegasus.

With Reid’s order, the 300 city lords summoned their Battle Beasts and soared into the sky.

The Battle Beasts were all iron-backed goshawk.

The iron-backed goshawk was a tier 2 Battle Beast. Its ultimate moves were the cloud splitting claw and the flapping of its iron wings.

The mature iron-backed goshawk could carry 200 pounds of weight and fly. It was the most common flying Battle Beast pet in the army.

It was also the most common.

A tier 2 Battle Beast carried a weight of 200 pounds. It was already good enough that it could fly.

It was a bit too much to make it as light as a swallow.

Locke rode the Swamp Hydra and soared in the sky. The city lord’s guards lined up neatly, but they could only eat dust at the back.

Even the shooting range of the crossbow had improved.

“A bunch of trash.”

Reid was furious. He summoned his Raging Flame Lion and stepped forward.

The Raging Flame Lion was a light and fire dual-element Battle Beast, but it had wings on its back and could also spread its wings and fly.

However, without the support of wind mana, its combat strength in the air relied more on mana. It was basically impossible to rely on close combat.

The Swamp Hydra flew straight into the clouds. After rolling comfortably in the sea of clouds, it suddenly swooped down again.

The Raging Flame Lion that was flying toward it was a level one light breath.
