"We've been fighting with District 13 for so many years, we're used to it. Don't worry, we'll do our best to help you with the Emperor's Eye!"
Chen Fan looked at the team behind him, about dozens of people, each an extremely elite warrior. It was only thanks to them that he was able to protect himself during the recent battle.
At this moment, he understood more clearly than anyone else what he was doing.
After going through all this, he finally understood what this matter meant to him.
Yao Hui, by his side, said, "Things have come to this point, we need to quickly come up with a counter-strategy!"
"District 13 will never let us go. We might face even bigger troubles afterward. Can we really defeat these enemies now?" Shalu asked curiously.
They were very clear about the power of District 13.
It was etched in their memories.
Regardless of whether they wanted to admit it or not, they had to acknowledge that they were completely suppressed when facing such opponents.
The current outcome, although somewhat unfavorable for future development, did not require them to worry too much.
"No need to worry so much about these guys. District 13 is powerful, but we're here for the carrier. We just need to get our hands on it! I thought the Knights of the Dead would be our enemies before, but I didn't expect to form a friendly cooperation so quickly!" Bai Zhannian said with a smile.
Their views on this matter had completely changed.
They had thought they could easily handle the current trouble, but in the end, they had lost all control.
So, no one knew what awaited them next.
Chen Fan chuckled upon hearing them say this, "Speaking of which, these guys are really strong, but we just need to take the item. With the help of the Knights of the Dead now, can't we do it more easily?"
Seeing Chen Fan so relaxed, Yao Hui said, "If that's the case, it would be good. But as of now, this matter is clearly not that simple. Even we haven't entered the Emperor's Eye, and a long, long time ago, something happened within the Knights of the Dead!"
Years ago, there wouldn't have been people like Yao Hui in the Knights of the Dead.
But in battles against District 13, the Knights of the Dead suffered ambushes and heavy losses. After that, the truly ancient and original members of the Knights of the Dead became fewer and fewer.
Under such circumstances, they naturally couldn't just sit and wait for depletion, so they started arranging for more successors early on.
This led to the recruitment of those who were carefully selected and joined the Knights of the Dead.
It was precisely because of this reason that the methods and techniques they used to enter the Emperor's Eye years ago were lost. How could they possibly handle the current situation in such a state?
After listening, Chen Fan nodded and sighed, "It seems that even with your help, finding the carrier will still be difficult."
"It will be a bit difficult, but at least we can find where the Emperor's Eye is, which will save us a lot of trouble!" Seeing the sudden change in Chen Fan's expression, Yao Hui said, "Moreover, this matter was destined a long time ago, so we hope you can receive more help in this regard."
"Destined a long time ago?"
"Yes, there was a prophecy about this matter before you even appeared, which is why I am here. The entire Knights of the Dead helping you is also for this reason."
Compared to what had happened before, the current goal of the Knights of the Dead was naturally to help Chen Fan complete his mission.
Find the carrier, and then bring an end to all possibilities.
What puzzled her, however, was why District 13 was so desperately targeting them this time, aiming to take down the entire Knights of the Dead in one fell swoop.
Could it be that this matter had something to do with them?
She thought the possibility was very small.
The matter of the carrier concerned another world.
But District 13 should have no connection with another world.
They were all greatly shocked, yet at this moment, they had no particularly good solutions.
Chen Fan finally understood what was going on.
He had thought it was easy before.
But now, their attitudes towards this matter had completely changed.
"Speaking of which, District 13 might also know about the carrier, and they want to snatch it from my hands? If I think about this, Chen Fan's expression became tense."
This situation made him feel incredible.
"It's best to prepare for the worst. They are after the carrier. If that's the case, then a battle between us and District 13 will be inevitable. However, all the members of the Knights of the Dead are willing to protect you and leave!"
After a brief explanation with Chen Fan, Yao Hui led them back to the main base of the Knights of the Dead.
On the way, Bai Zhannian approached Chen Fan and asked in a low voice, "What do you think? The Knights of the Dead have protected the Emperor's Eye for so many years, and they are even willing to fight to the death with District 13. Why are they willing to cooperate with us this time?"
"That's right, I also heard that those people from the Knights of the Dead are not easy to deal with!" Shalu said.
In their opinion, this matter was inherently strange.
There were too many questions, both before and after.
Facing such doubts, Chen Fan just smiled and shook his head, saying, "I naturally understand, but what other choice do we have now? Things have come to this point, and if we want to complete the mission, we must act quickly. It's better to have someone help us now than to search blindly by ourselves. We'll see what happens then and handle the problem."
Chen Fan said this, his expression showing a hint of helplessness.
What they had thought before and what was happening now were two completely different concepts.
In the current situation, they were bound to go all out to investigate the secrets of the Emperor's Eye.
Soon, Yao Hui led them to a very secluded valley.
Here, they could see many houses nestled together. Warriors wearing long robes walked out from inside, each looking energetic, as if all the events happening before them had nothing to do with them.
"These are the warriors of the Knights of the Dead. When they join, they have already dedicated their lives."
