Daniel was captured.
First, those Stone Slaves who had partially fled back were captured by the Royal City Guards, and then some, unable to withstand severe torture, betrayed many others.
Among these many, Daniel was included.
Daniel had intended to flee the city under the cover of night or find some place to hide, but the speed of the Royal City Guards today far exceeded his predictions. He had only just escaped, when he was caught by the guards.
Upon learning of this, King Anuket's face twisted into a sinister grin.
Of course, the King knew that Daniel was a disciple of Xilan. Precisely because of this, he found it all the more necessary to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, thereby diverting the wrath of his ministers dissatisfied with him.
"Kagawus, indeed it is through failure that you warn us!" King Anuket muttered fanatically.
The King ordered his guards to thoroughly search for those Stone Slaves who had fled back to Ajia Land.
