Xu Xiaoyou's mind was racing, quickly making a judgnt.
It's impossible for the Order Court to appear here with such fanfare just to capture ; they would have acted long ago. There's only one possibility.
The Order Court doesn't want any guild to claim the kill on this BOSS!
They plan to settle this BOSS internally under the guise of law enforcent, aiming to weaken the other guilds in the league.
Just as she had judged before, within the Oasis, the Order Court is not the absolute controller; the power structure is balanced with EVA.
Even granting the 'Harmonizer' authority requires circumventing EVA's will by claiming to capture a criminal.
Thinking of this, Xu Xiaoyou quickly cald down. Facing Bai Youyou, who was pressing her step by step, she did not flee in a sorry state as she did last ti, but instead straightened her back with an air of confidence.
"Knowing you can't escape, so you opted not to run?" Bai Youyou asked.
"If Inspector Bai catches so easily, won't your temporary enforcent rights be revoked?" Xu Xiaoyou raised her eyebrows and said.
Seeing the blonde girl reaching out her hands voluntarily, Bai Youyou's expression froze, the blue veins on her wrist with the shackles visible.
"You think I don't dare?" she murmured.
"Then cuff up," Xu Xiaoyou spread her hands, "right in front of everyone!"
There was a solemn look in Bai Youyou's eyes as she silently observed the surroundings. She noticed that most people's eyes were focused on her, including EVA and the Order Court mbers who accompanied her.
The leading Law Enforcent Officer, Talis, had a calm face and subtly shook her head, signaling her not to act impulsively.
"As a law-abiding citizen of the Oasis, since Investigator wants to capture , I can only comply," Xu Xiaoyou taunted in Bai Youyou's ear.
"Rember to be gentle after taking back."
Suddenly, the sound of handcuffs clicking together was heard, and Xu Xiaoyou's expression stiffened slightly.
Bai Youyou cuffed herself and the blonde girl together, lifting their linked hands for all to see: "Next, I need to safely escort the criminal back to Oasis City. Until then, I maintain the right to my 'Harmonizer' status."
This statent was clearly not directed at others but at EVA, who turned a blind eye. Xu Xiaoyou frowned; why wasn't EVA taking her side this ti?
"Chairman!"
"What are you doing, release our chairman!"
"Miss Bai, our chairman has always been law-abiding and honest. Is there a mistake?"
Seeing Xu Xiaoyou handcuffed, the Light Chasing Garden people were instantly anxious, surrounding the Order Court mbers with a sense of impending conflict.
Bai Youyou's gaze fell on Xu Xiaoyou beside her, the cold look in her eyes revealing a sense of danger.
Xu Xiaoyou sighed helplessly, "Everyone, I've been captured. Inspector Bai's arrest is justified. Don't make it hard for her. I've deeply realized my mistakes and will reform in the Consciousness Prison. Hundreds of years later, I'll still be the Flower Holder of the Light Chasing Garden."
People familiar with the blonde girl smirked. To say that she would acknowledge her mistake and comply willingly was a farce, but at the mont, they couldn't fathom what Xu Xiaoyou was planning.
The girl's mind worked too quickly, and no one dared to claim they could predict her thoughts.
The surrounding Light Chasing Garden mbers reluctantly retreated, and Bai Youyou snorted coldly, shifting her focus to the "Crown of Incurable," the steam-powered chanical hamr taking form in her palm.
Under the blessing of the Harmonizer identity, she is the only player in Pangard whose tier broke through to Fourth Tier and can unleash her Divine Gift—"Severing Holy Armor." Though it doesn't grant the sa absolute control as in Oasis City, it's more than enough to quickly eliminate dozens of Light Chasing Garden mbers.
As the golden rose pattern on the pure white military uniform erged, the "Severing Holy Armor" was instantly liberated. The overwhelming intimidation erupted from Bai Youyou, sweeping across the field, bearing down on hundreds of people, disrupting their breath, and shackling their steps.
Xu Xiaoyou whistled, taking advantage of Bai Youyou's presence by her side, using the Rose Rifle to continue firing at the Silent Sequence mbers, ordering the Light Chasing Garden mbers to harass and extirpate the isolated enemy scattered by monsters.
Even if the Silent Sequence mbers harbored dissatisfaction, they dared only to suppress their anger while clearing the Life-Devouring series of monsters rushing towards them, waiting for an opportunity, only to act once Smiling Knight's status was restored...
...
"What, the Order Court mbers have entered?" Inside the city tower, still arranging tactics, Nanjia Wood was astonished, almost unable to believe his ears.
"Yes, it's absolutely true. I saw with my own eyes that Investigator Bai handcuffed the Dark Gold Rose. Those people have already taken control of the entire Royal Palace!" the scout reported.
Nanjia Wood massaged his forehead in frustration. The fact that the Dark Gold Rose had barged into the Royal Palace, confronting the Silent Sequence head-on, and even gained an advantage over them had already been surprising enough.
Now the Order Court had intervened in the battlefield too. What is happening to this world? Have they all gone mad?
"Transmit my order, the plan has changed, there's no ti to delay, all Golden Navigator mbers, launch a full-scale assault, advance into the Royal Palace!" Nanjia Wood promptly commanded.
"Understood!"
But just as the Golden Navigator forces stepped out of the city tower, they encountered an ambush. Countless hidden weapons and traps were triggered, followed by twenty or so Stalkers erging from the shadows to launch an attack.
"What's happening?" Nanjia Wood scanned the chaotic scene, bursts of blood-light flickered, and every mont, Holy Professionals let out screams and fell. His forces hadn't even reached the Royal Palace but were suffering devastating losses.
Many Holy Professionals were caught off guard, with over a dozen's health bars hitting zero before they could react.
The attackers seed to know their situation inside out, waiting by the corpses to strike once again just as the 'Phoenix Shield' triggered revival.
Suddenly, he noticed the Stalkers' uniforms bore the Light Chasing Garden's emblem, his mind buzzing like it was struck by lightning—these people were Black Blade mbers from the Light Chasing Garden!
They had no enmity with the Light Chasing Garden; why were these people attacking them?
So many traps laid outside, so many ambushers, why hadn't the scouts he previously sent reported any anomalies?
Black Blade Captain Shadow Weaving Poem slit a throat in one strike, stabbing another's back in another, but when a Golden Navigator's squad leader countered with a heavy shield, he retreated without further attack, quickly blending back into the shadows.
"Everyone, we hit the target, disengage, retreat!"
"Yes!"
With the ambush completed, the Black Blade mbers retreated without indulging in further combat, while the Golden Navigator's forces struggled to regroup, with nurous Holy Professionals even using their Three Tier super-killing skills, preparing for a desperate fight.
These Holy Professionals, being brawn over brains, couldn't match the agility-specialized Stalkers, helplessly watching the Black Blade mbers retreat in triumph.
Noticing several previous reporting scouts retreating with the mainforce of Black Blade, Nanjia Wood understood that their intel had been leaked by these individuals.
Nanjia Wood cursed these traitors furiously, who were carefully nurtured by the entire guild's resources, only to be swayed by a few words from the Dark Gold Rose?
He profoundly felt the terror of being dominated by a player specialized in Charm.
At that mont, Nanjia Wood's sharp eyes caught sight of a familiar figure among the retreating Black Blade mbers, dressed in a black-robed cloak with crossed daggers on the shoulder insignia—it was clearly mbers of Assassin's Creed!
He realized instantly why the Light Chasing Garden mbers would ambush them.
"Lu, Shu, Hang!" Nanjia Wood's roar echoed above the Royal City.
