Chapter 583: CCII. The Day the Broken Knife is Reforged_2

No matter about these.

The recruits hired for Mulong’s job were previously organized, with their former captains as Centurions, arranging formations and making a forced march.

Although not all of them are top pirate gangs, many are contenders that can compete in the peak season of the East Sea.

Wolman, without being able to be carried by a horse, uses a Wilderness Earth Dragon for his transport, wielding a massive war axe, truly has the aura of a nation’s general.

Both man and Earth Dragon together are taller than giants, truly looking like they could shout and break a bridge.

The Wilderness Earth Dragon is terrifyingly heavy, so its pace is naturally much slower than a warhorse, with the people from the Great Wetland transporting supplies at the rear of the unit, joining the battle after reaching the battlefield.

The others are also eager for action, even Chuan Che, who usually dreams of a life of luxury, is charging forward on horseback.

He knew that Saleret went to participate in the Continent Martial Arts Competition, truly a reckless fool, putting in effort for nothing, how many places can he get?

After doing some killing for Mulong, investing some money and sharing the dividends, that’s the real fun to be had in Duguli.

In no time, the sound of galloping hooves was continuous, kicking up a storm of yellow sand as the East Sea Righteous charged into the Silver Moon City war zone.

"I will protect you..."

Shadi’s male hormones have more power than a nuclear bomb, Yakai Chiyoko said with deep affection.

"Whatever you say."

Shadi shamelessly took advantage, and if this job succeeds, he can return to Summer Sunset Island in glory, stunning the Dark Elves back home, a feat even Liszt never accomplished.

He is not some commoner from Summer Sunset Island but one of the Upper Three Flags among the Upper Three Flags, only leaving there because of a skin disease, bouncing around the Southern Continent before landing with the Black Sail after some business with Reggae Defense.

Liszt, at the forefront, was thinking about things; when the puppet government is toppled and Su Yizhana takes power, what position should the Black Sail be in?

Of course, it’s Mandarin ducks nestling together, butterflies flying in pairs, chasing you till we meet, hehe.

Someone as badass as I am now, even Xiao De wouldn’t dare to act rashly, no one can oppose a second marriage.

"Please... you are very weak, you know."

Even before undergoing Magic Transformation, Rein’s speed was much faster than a horse, and with his Magic Energy Circuit fully activated, he could rocket to Silver Moon City in two or three hours.

The blazing sun was burning.

He directly bypassed Liszt, kicking up a wave of dust.

Liszt’s face darkened with tactical annoyance; wait till this guy gets beaten up in Silver Moon City again, then he’ll behave.

Fen found Liszt’s hands-off managerial style extremely frustrating, as he was the one doing all the work, responsible for coordinating the pirate gang formations for the forced march, riding at the center of the formation.

He was also contemplating a few matters.

The Pedan Royal Family, Elder Council, and Magic Energy Industrial Committee issued a bounty of three thousand Golden Dragons on him, but since he was overseas most of the time, not posing a threat to them, no pursuers were sent.

After hearing from Rein about the ins and outs of the events, Fen was worried, for he had indeed heard of Huitt’s name, a highly esteemed court magician and a committee member, whose status and influence were no less than his, with deep-rooted power in the Elder Council.

His re-emergence and return to Pedan’s attention might bring heavy trouble.

But it did not matter; by now, Heaven Port was not easily taken by Pedan anymore; it was his territory.

"Wasn’t Nashano with you?"

Fen rode next to the Mercenary Corps Commander, noting the extreme military discipline of these people; after this battle, they would no longer live a piece-rate life on the run, merging with the Black Sail to enjoy a comfortable hourly pay life.

"Such a frail guy, better let him stay put in Drifting City."

"I see. I was curious, you guys attacking Aran, only cost two or three times the market price, you have great fortitude. If you were to challenge the entire Western Continent, how much would it cost?"

"Haha, I thought you were a dull scholar, honestly, to dominate the continent, it must be free, just a job and some post would suffice upon success."

The Mercenary Corps Commander thought Fen was joking; if they were truly upheaving things, Aran would not suffice for their play.

"I’ll remember that."

Fen turned his horse around and ran over to Archer’s side.

"Are you awake?"

Fen looked at Archer with newfound respect, having indeed heard from Old Wei that he was a rare genius, yet never thought he was this level of genius. The Western Continent’s erotic books were very popular, also charged by word count, so to fill in words, some authors dragged content directly from professional magic series books.

To learn arcane from erotic books, Archer might be the first in the history of the Western Continent, although his concentration level was somewhat lacking, unlike a mindless beast; if he really quit drinking and mastered both physical and magical arts, what then?

"Damn it, didn’t we only bring fifty people to Aran to hijack a train, why so many people?"

Archer was still flushed and inebriated, reeking of alcohol, looking at the commotion around; deploying the force of a division to hijack a train, wasn’t this just a piece of cake?

"Better for you to just rest."

Fen hoped Archer would simply die in Silver Moon City.

However...

Magnus truly was a remarkable individual, even confounding Fen; maybe he had been among Eastern Sea Dog Pirates for too long, encountering such heroic figures with a unique mindset after years, felt like meeting a creature from another dimension, unbelievable.

Of course, Fen did not know about the little incident between Liszt and Marcus at the Imperial Capital National Museum.

Marcus had given Liszt a broken knife, hoping he could use it to end Zote’s life, bringing a perfect end to unbearable memories from decades ago.

Liszt didn’t want such a junk, even though it was said to be made of Ancient Divine Steel, a priceless material, but broken is still broken, what’s the use?

Yet it was still forced upon him by Marcus.

Meanwhile, the broken knife in Magnus’s hand, during a previous encounter with Zote, had been shattered by Zote.

The knife was gone, the heart dead.

Magnus had intended to end his life, but did not expect such a twist, having genuinely learned from Archer some things previously unknown, allowing Magnus to rebirth anew.

The method to forge Ancient Divine Steel was long lost, virtually no blacksmith could reforge the broken knife.

But as fate would have it, Rein, after undergoing Magic Transformation, had his left arm made from Ancient Divine Steel, built reportedly by some of the top-level Armed Architects in the Western Continent.

The high-temperature flames released by Brutal Punishment astonishingly melted the remaining half of the broken knife back into steel water for reforging, turning the originally heavy, powerful large saber into a lightweight military knife of regular size.

This may be a kind of destiny.

Zote is now in Silver Moon City, having failed once, this was his... last chance.

And Magnus no longer had his former obsession.

The knife for slaughtering all beings.

And the knife for severing one’s past.

Which was faster, he did not know.

He just knew, even if Zote died at these pirates’ hands, not by his own, he could put this past behind and start afresh.

"Are you really fine without the Mechanical Arm?"

Fen asked concernedly, as Magnus was strength given for free, and he seemed different from the last encounter, neither more mature nor more worn, just his aura appeared much more tranquil, like water benefiting all things without strife.

"The Mechanical Arm might interfere with my performance; like this is just fine."
