Chapter 535: CLXIV. Can we reconcile?

The creation of the Aran Court Mage has once again been wrecked by the Eastern Sea Dog Pirates.

Rein, in a fit of self-mutilation, used his claws to extract the data monitoring device buried under his skin. Damn Pedan scoundrel, he definitely watched him for a long while just now.

Outside Black Rock City.

Huitt’s monitoring devices all went black, but it didn’t matter. The necessary data had been fully collected.

"Teacher, are we really in the clear? The Brutal Punishment is still on him."

The male assistant asked with some trepidation. He didn’t want Rein to suddenly appear and tear him to pieces while conducting the Frenzied Minstrel.

"I have my own considerations. In the Elder Council, the number of my supporters is dwindling. The Atomic Heart Church has recently become quite favored by the elders, which is unacceptable. I’ve heard some whispers that the Atomic Heart Church has close ties with the Eastern Sea. If we report our findings and then use Fen as a pretext to make trouble, we can use the excuse of recovering the Brutal Punishment to get the support of the Magic Power Armed Department and overshadow the Atomic Heart Church. Then we can go to the Eastern Sea to reap some benefits. This way, we can secure more funding and increase our weight in the Royal Court. No one... is willing to support a bunch of freeloading parasites, but parasites must exist, and we must become the strongest parasites to erode the Elder Council’s power. Next year is the quadrennial elder election, and I am determined to win."

Huitt ordered everyone to check the data once more and pack up the equipment. It was time to head back to their country.

"The teacher is indeed brilliant."

The male assistant beamed with joy. If the teacher became an elder, it would not just be Minstrels they could handle; noble ladies would be fair game too.

At this moment.

Inside Black Rock City.

Rein had fully regained his senses and understood the situation.

"This is all a big misunderstanding. Sirs, I offer my early New Year greetings, and I’m off!"

Rein knew this was the main base of the army. He could feel that his magic energy reserve was less than half. He had to find an escape route.

Damn, where’s the city wall?

Damn Frenzy Potion, he seemed to have already penetrated deep into the enemy camp, right at the heart of Black Rock City! Those black crystal-construct walls were far from here.

But being the main base, how could it be so easy to escape? If Rein managed to flee, the morale would plummet; the unstoppable Aran Lion Army which had already attacked Crystal wouldn’t let him go.

However, his performance was too terrifying.

This was inside the city, and large-scale weapons couldn’t be used. Otherwise, the military readiness would have been activated, and no one would survive.

The Major General was unsure. Lord Crocodile Island and the Vice Admiral were all on the front line.

No one ever thought that anyone would come to Black Rock City. There was a Vice Admiral in the city, but he might not be a match for the monster.

But it didn’t matter.

It’s a bit embarrassing to sacrifice some people to deal with a monster, but that’s the only way. That kind of thing can’t have infinite physical strength; humanoid machines without any backup energy run out quickly. Even the third-generation Magic Puppets can only operate for half an hour at most. Since it caused such a commotion, it definitely didn’t have much energy left.

Just wear it down until it dies.

The lion uses all its strength even when hunting a rabbit. Under the Major General’s command, a quickly organized line was set up to encircle Rein.

Heavy soldiers set up door-sized shields, completely surrounding Rein, a ten-faced ambush.

Due to Rein’s terrifying melee abilities, only shield-bearing soldiers surrounded him while all the gunners lined up to shoot. No matter how strong his recovery abilities, could he withstand continuous fire for several minutes?

Rein felt his scalp tingle. They had deployed a whole division against him, with hundreds of guns facing him.

A battlefield is not the same as a gang fight. Anyone coming here would die.

"Oh, screw me..."

Rein’s magic energy reserve could not bear much more, but he had no choice but to fight hard. This body could definitely hang that traitor high, but... would he not have any more chances?

Was this his place of death without understanding why?

Those shield soldiers were no pushovers either. Holding big shields and long spears, they were ready to poke if you tried to break through. The formation was not just about breaking through one person; the ranks could quickly replenish.

Rein was about to make a desperate fight.

Sharon had a very vivid impression of Rein, recognizing him even if he turned to ash. Seeing him, she also realized one thing.

Liszt did not listen to her and came to Mulong.

Since he is a friend of Liszt, he must be helped. At this moment, the only way to break the situation was to use this method. She had her own thoughts too, which was to leave the Aran occupied area and meet Liszt.

Magnus only wanted to have a final showdown with Zote. This was a good thing; by holding this Priest as hostage, Zote could be drawn out.

"I’m sorry."

Magnus whispered to Sharon, placing a knife to her neck.

His prowess lay in this: he was a heroic figure. Taking her hostage was dishonorable. Helping her was not excessive.

"Let him go, or I will kill this Priest."

Magnus held Sharon as he spoke.

The army major general’s eyelid twitched at the commotion.

Liszt had an agreement with Crocodile Island, saying they would send someone to deal with the Eternal Sect. What was going on? They sent an indiscriminate killing monster, who upon closer inspection turned out to be one of the Black Sail officers, Rein.

Earlier, a guard reported that a mechanical arm went directly to kill the head of the Eighteenth Formation.

Now, the situation was delicate. The mechanical arm probably didn’t find anyone. The Major General himself had just received the news that the Eighteenth Formation’s head went to Salt Lake City.

So, are you in or out? What are you playing at?

The Major General’s CPU was about to explode.

Then he figured it out; Eastern Sea Dog Pirates were unreliable. This situation showed the rabble they had become. Crocodile Island would support his decision.

"You might have some misunderstandings about us. In this battle, I’ve lost dozens of men and five Magic Puppets. If I let you two go, I can’t explain it. You..."

Before the Major General could finish.

Sharon was no weakling. The title of Priest held much weight in the Sect.

The Time Sword, and the Heavy Priest, arrived at the scene with an imposing manner facing off against the army. Those tin cans and Time Swords wearing the Dragon Face Helmet had tremendous oppressive force, no less than the Aran Army.

The Major General halted. This was really tricky. Any slight misstep could lead to an open conflict. What kind of repercussions would he bear? He would certainly go rogue.

He was momentarily indecisive.

The Sect’s administrative staff soothed Magnus, urging him not to act impulsively and to spare Sharon’s life. They could ensure they exited the city.

The Vice Admiral, who had just enjoyed himself with a local beauty in Mulong, arrived belatedly. He was the most senior official in Black Rock City, with ultimate decision-making power.

The situation was tense, and he had also consulted Crocodile Island.

"What’s your take on this? This is a high-ranking Priest of the National Religion. Not a hair can be harmed. My friend, put down the knife. Whatever terms you have, I will agree to them."

The Vice Admiral’s judgment was aligned with Crocodile Island’s, using his authority to speak diplomatically.

All in all.

Liszt had botched this. Those yokels really screwed up again. But Crocodile Island was still willing to trust Liszt one last time. They let them go with the condition that Liszt must personally come to Silver Moon City and speak with Crocodile Island, arriving within a week.

Rein felt relieved, perceiving it as Divine Weapon intervening. He had unwittingly found himself in the main base, unwittingly saved, fluctuating wildly in this modified body. It was thrilling indeed.
