Chapter 67: Find the mole
'This should hold me out for now.'
Zex stood in the middle of the road, dressed in Camelot's soldier uniform. He had killed the two soldiers he ran into earlier, taking one of their uniforms for himself.
The uniform was exactly what he needed to go undercover. It had a small helmet that covered the upper part of his face, and the rest of his body was a full forest gre bodysuit.
Grabbing the handle of the small wagon, he began to drag it towards the beast village, other beast-like childr running a and playing.
'Beast Kin? Who would have thought you'd find them here in Camelot. Tsk.'
He looked forward, there he could see some knights gathering a a woman with long purple hair.
She was a member of the Knights of the table, Belinda.
"Lady Belinda! We have searched the whole village, there's no sign of them." A knight reported.
"And the shore?" Belinda faced the knight.
"Also the shore, there's no sign of them." The knight replied.
"Fine, report back to the main capital, tell the knights to be on guard and op back the borders." Belinda issued.
Zex eyes wided.
'The main capital? That's it!'
He immediately stole himself, dragging the wagon towards there; if he could somehow get past Belinda, he would be able to stalk the knight back to the main capital.
"Excuse me." Zex spoke as he dragged the wagon past Balinda, a smile on his face knowing he had passed.
Untill -
Slaash-!
Belinda suddly aimed her spear at his neck.
"You smell differt, what unit are you under?" She asked, giving Zex the side eye.
Zex could barely say a word, he had no idea what a unit was, or atleast, the units in Camelot.
The other knights who were a at the momt all looked at him, wondering why he hadn't spok.
Belinda's eyes narrowed with suspicion. She knew exactly what her soldiers smelled like, this particular soldier had a differt sct, one she didn't like.
"Remove your mask." she commanded.
'Shit!' Zex knew there was no way he was going to get away, he was already sured by the emy, leaving no place out for him to escape.
He couldn't fight them all, not wh every spot was filled with either a knight, a soldier, or a Beast man.
"Uhm…I.."
He ssed it.
Belinda was aiming directly for his neck, her blade coated with magic.
Zex acted immediately, reducing his body size into that of an ant, which led the body suit to fall to the g with no one in it.
But that didn't fool Belinda as she easily spotted the tiny Zex running into the nearest brushes.
"Quick! close off every route! We have an intruder!!!" Belinda yelled to the rest of the Knights and soldiers.
The Beast wom in the town all began to gather their childr to stay indoors, while the knights began to spread out, looking for the threat.
"Shit shit! What the hell is with these people?! How was she able to find me out?!!!" Zex yelled out loud as he ran, leaping from one bush to the other.
Just as he was able to leap out from where he was, he heard the footsteps of the one knight approaching him.
Zex immediately sank back into the bush, peeking through the small gaps in the leaves to see the knight walk past him.
A sigh of relief washed over him; just as he was about to step out of the bush again, the same knight suddly came back.
This startled Zex as he fell back into the bush, slamming his black on the g.
"Ouch! The hell?" Zex looked up and what he saw left his ghost spooked.
The knight was looking inside the bush, his nostrils, filled with hair and boogers was out for Zex to see.
Zex tried to move back, but the further he wt, the closer the knight shook his head inside the bush.
And th-
"Buah! I found the intruder!!!" the knights alerted the rest, trying to reach out to grab the tiny imposter.
Zex boosted out of the bush, his body sliding against the g as he watched the knight try to leave the bush to grab him.
More knights could be heard charging towards his location.
In the blink of an eye, Zex returned to his human size and ran away, naked with no clothes to cover up his nakedness.
He was able to arrive at yet another cliff, and without thinking twice about it, he took a huge leap.
Covering a large distance before finally landing on the g, his body rolling multiple times on the g, until he came to a stop close to a small rock.
Still lying on the g, Zex looked up at the sky, 'And here I thought that jump would take me closer to the main capital, I must be growing weaker'.
Sitting up right, he looked to the left to see a road leading to the next town, and to his right, it seemed like the road had be divided into three parts.
'Now I don't know where I am, but atleast I'm far away from the knights.'
Zex stood up from the g, looking both ways to try and see which route he could take.
That was wh he noticed the two carriages coming from the right side of the road.
He immediately jumped to the side, hiding behind a tall tree so he couldn't get spotted.
For all he knew it could have be the knights looking for him.
Or so he thought.
One of the carriages sped past him, and like a ting, he picked on Sinex's presce.
She was inside one of the carriages moving, along with Ha Joon and Merlin.
He had finally found her.
Zex wasted no time, he transformed his arm into a long hook and leeched himself onto the moving carriage before turning into a flat surface so he could hide under it.
In his mind, he had finally done it, without the help of Scorpion, he was going to bring Sinex back and take Ha Joon to the temple.
