Realizing that Albert was just cannon fodder, Lu Heng immediately became cautious. On the way back to Kolos City, Lu Heng caught up with Fiona’s Dragon Hawk and asked, "Where is Elder Terres now?" "He should be at the Four Wind Plain, where giant mammoths once lived. There are many mammoth bones there. Based on your reminder, Elder Terres has gone to the Four Wind Plain to prevent the giant mammoth bones from awakening," Fiona replied. "So, you’re saying only the Queen is defending Kolos City now?" Lu Heng immediately realized where the problem lay. Originally, his team of four, along with Fiona, Queen Orelana, and the Queen’s Guard, could handle defending Kolos City before the Skeleton Army appeared. However, now that Fiona has taken a select group of Dragon Hawk Knights out, and his team of four followed, this has left Kolos City briefly defenseless. Thinking this through, it seemed more like Albert’s escape was a strategic diversion. The Abyss Camp didn’t even intend to rescue Albert. No Abyss Summoner appeared, and the Frost Bone Dragon only took away the Blood-colored Scythe without aiding Albert. Lu Heng thought of this and reminded, "I suspect the opponent’s target is the Elf King’s statue." Fiona understood the implication and laughed, "You think by leaving Kolos City, we fell into a trap, and now Kolos City is emptily defended, giving the opponent an opportunity." Seeing her calm demeanor and her lack of urgency to return, Lu Heng immediately understood what was happening: "Does the Queen have another plan?" Fiona calmly smiled, "The defense of Kolos City will never be empty. Since I dare to chase out, I am sure enough of my position." Right at that moment. A light arrow shot up into the sky from the direction of Kolos City, piercing through the night sky. Seeing the light arrow in the sky, Fiona waved and said, "Kolos City is under attack. Dragon Hawk Knights, follow me back to assist." She mentioned assistance, and the team accelerated, yet their formation remained neat, showing no panic. While accelerating back, Fiona turned and said, "You guessed right, there is indeed an attack on Kolos City, but it’s not by the Bone Sovereign." Apparently, she had just used magical communication with Kolos City and obtained the intelligence from the city. Lu Heng frowned and asked, "Who is it?" "Humans," Fiona said as she kept her gaze locked on Lu Heng’s eyes, with a slightly complex expression. Lu Heng’s expression froze for a moment but was not too surprised. After all, he had already speculated that a team of Summoners had concealed their presence. Since they were hiding, this team definitely had issues. Fiona continued, "Also, this team, like you, didn’t come from a singular summoning." Lu Heng froze again, genuinely surprised this time, then immediately thought of that team: "Is it that raiding team?" Fiona nodded, "Yes, it’s the human recruiters, the raiding team, that appeared even before you. This explains why they hid their presence from the start. Because once they revealed themselves, they would expose their identities and couldn’t possibly gain any elf’s trust." Lu Heng asked further, "What is this raiding team’s target?" Fiona replied, "They want to break into the palace district, and their target is not just the Elf King’s statue; they also have intentions towards the Space Corridor. Only, they’re overthinking it, as the Queen has already intercepted them." Lu Heng was a bit surprised upon hearing this, thinking that this raiding team indeed had ambitions to attempt breaking into the Space Corridor. What exactly is the Space Corridor in the Kolos City Palace District? It’s the passage to the Moon Well Space. Once they break in, they can access the Moon Well, which holds abundant magical spring water resources. To the entire Elf Clan, the amount of Moon Well Spring Water is already scarce, but for a team of Summoners, a single Moon Well has more than enough spring water to spare. In other words, if this raiding team successfully breaks into the Moon Well Space, it would mean a huge boost in their combat power. All skills would enhance, class abilities would gain a Divine Effect, and Source Energy Levels would soar directly to the limits of the body’s endurance. Such a significant increase would tempt anyone. However, this Moon Well is the last lifeline of the Elf Clan. If destroyed, it would lead to their rapid decline. Su Muyu, listening alongside, said, "No wonder so few were summoned this time; turns out the Creator Organization team came in too." This team, which had previously raided the Elf World extensively, is naturally the Creator Organization team. The raiding team consists of five individuals, each wearing different types of V-pattern revenge kill masks. The leader is called "Pharaoh," wearing a golden mask. The other four are as follows: Red Beard: Strength-type Superpower User. Life Mark: Skilled in swordsmanship. Blue Blood Man: Perception and Spirit dual-type Superpower User. Dark Star: Assassin-type Superpower User, skilled in stealth and assassination. These details were once mentioned by Xie Shi’en, who was formerly a Creator Organization member, so he knew more, although he had never seen the true faces of these five. This Creator Organization raiding team was summoned to the Elf World before Lu Heng’s team and then engaged in indiscriminate looting of the Elf Clan. They even took away the Life Tree Vine from the Knowledge Ancient Tree Space. Unexpectedly, this team has been summoned again.
