Chapter 234: Chapter 170 Silver Oath_2

"If the Trolian forces could gain another strong warrior, the situation would be vastly different."

He sighed deeply.

"Alright, Rod, I will send you to the battlefield, but since you are too weak to serve as a core power in the team, I can only conceal your ’Strong’ identification and position you towards the rear."

Instantly, Rod revealed a smile.

As long as he could enter the battlefield, everything else was negotiable.

"Thank you, Soron teacher, I’ll go prepare now."

Rod was about to get up, but Soron held him back.

"Rod, take this too."

He handed over the Recording Crystal.

"Uh? Teacher Soron, isn’t that inappropriate..."

"It’s fine," Soron said heavily, "you’re right, my love is noble, it doesn’t need this for solace. I entrust this heavy past to you. Please swear by the fire’s oath not to tell anyone about this."

Rod hesitated for a moment, but still took it to avoid complications.

"I swear by the Holy Fire not to tell anyone about today’s events. Fire witness my vow, and if I break it, may I lose the Fire’s protection and not enter the Fire’s heaven."

At the moment the words fell, Soron appeared considerably relieved, as if he had shed some heavy burden.

"Hurry back and get ready, we’re departing at Morning."

"Yes, Teacher Soron."

Rod tucked the still-warm Recording Crystal into his chest, left his teacher’s room with quick steps, and politely closed the door behind him.

With a quiet ’bang,’ the room fell back into a dim silence.

Shadows flitted around Soron.

Suddenly, he revealed a sly smile.

"Hahaha, finally found the culprit of Lady Olivia’s bathing peeping incident. You little rascal, daring to threaten me, just wait for social death. I want to see how you’ll ever find a wife, Teresa will detest you to death, wahahaha."

Back in his room, Rod was still appreciating how generous Soron teacher had been.

Mr. Soron is such a good man.

Good people live in peace.

Rod looked at the Recording Crystal in his hand.

Yes, this is one of the strongest in Trolian, every move of hers might embody supreme combat skills, every water droplet’s fall could align with the natural truth.

Rod watched again and indeed gained a lot, feeling his combat skills had improved.

Wow, so big.

That night, the excitement of the impending departure made it nearly impossible for Rod to sleep. He kept organizing materials in his dream realm, practicing the newly learnt skills, studying various demon books, trying to find more efficient ways to discern and detect special demons with ’Source’.

Only in the few hours before Morning did he finally fall into a deep sleep on the rocking chair in his cottage.

Rod felt as though he had just closed his eyes when he was awoken by a knock on the door.

"Rod, it’s time to depart."

Rod sprung to his feet, opened the door, and there stood Teresa in her gold armor and red helmet, smiling at him.

"It seems yesterday was quite a success, Rod."

Rod smiled, "I owe it all to you."

Teresa asked with curiosity, "What did you see in the crystal? Why does Soron teacher look so invigorated?"

"Er, it’s just a little thing, I promised Soron teacher I wouldn’t tell."

Teresa didn’t mind.

"Let’s get going. I heard that Lord Alan will be taking part in the battle this time, and maybe I’ll have the chance to fight alongside him."

Rod had heard the name Alan many times before—he was the strongest Starfire Series Combatant who had single-handedly reversed the fate of all the Starfire Series combatants. Although their status was still not as esteemed as those from the Spirit Fire Series, they had moved up a notch from before.

Rod asked curiously, "Do I have a chance?"

Teresa smiled, "Probably not, teacher has assigned you to a lighthouse behind Byron Old City, far away from the main battleground of the Iron Armor Fortress."

"Alright then."

"Don’t be too disheartened, Dean Theodore will also join the battle, and he will be supporting Laisuo City; your lighthouse illuminates three routes leading there."

"Moreover, if the west front battle ends ahead of schedule, Olivia will join the fight too. Just the thought of fighting alongside two legendary Great Knight Captains and the legendary Undead Dean excites me."

Rod pursed his lips, your excitement threshold is really low.

"Teresa, will I have the chance to encounter you? The legendary Valkyrie, shining in gold—I have wanted to witness it with my own eyes for a long time."

Teresa smiled, "You will, and I am eager to witness the legendary moves of the ’Black Bottomless Pitt’ and ’King of the Sewers’—we can’t see those during training."

Rod was not pleased, You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you? Can we not mention those terms?

Damn it, I must thoroughly standardize the Trolian translation grammar in the future, so everyone understands what ’accurate, clear, and elegant’ stands for.

Now the translations are just a damn mess.

There were a total of three hundred and sixty students in the secret base,

with half of them, one hundred and eighty students, being dispatched for the reinforcement this time, plus seven instructors and teachers, making a total of one hundred and eighty-seven people.

Dean Vera was among them; only the secret Leader Calier and instructor Soron remained at the base.

Certain instructors were on rotational leave and not included in the dispatch.

The "Top Class" counted thirty-three in total, and eighteen were dispatched; the plan was originally for seventeen, with Rod being the exception.

Those selected were overjoyed, while those not chosen stamped their feet and beat their chests in frustration.

Fortunately, Vera and Calier repeatedly emphasized that they would rotate into the battlefield, which barely suppressed their deliberate wails.

Due to the urgent situation at the front, First Knight Alan had already set out with the reinforcement Battle Group overnight, and Dean Theodore had long since taken his Spell-protected aides by teleportation to Laisuo City.

The secret branch departed somewhat later, but the Royal City sent their "forbidden artifact," the Thunderbird, to carry them.

These "forbidden artifacts" are demons controlled by the Royal City’s "Silver Oath," having undergone complex modifications to be utilizable within certain limits by humans.

Had they not been members of a special secret branch, they wouldn’t have been permitted to know any of these secrets.

The Thunderbird was a gigantic bird with wings spanning over four hundred yards, its body covered with circulating Thunder Patterns and Bright Seals, offering limited resistance to corruption and enabling movement within a certain range.

The pilot of the Thunderbird was a bearer of Spell Talent, rendering the gigantic bird invisible to avoid detection. The Royal City is protected by Holy Fire, eternally bright, and it cannot touch the darkness, let alone mingle with dark entities—this is an unbreakable iron law. All darkness must be masked and not permitted to spread, known only to specific individuals.

The secret branch held such privileges.

This was the authority brought by Calier’s secret forces—they possessed things far darker than this.

People boarded the gigantic bird, and those who stayed behind waved their hands, sending off farewells and blessings.

At a command from the pilot, the Thunderbird soared into the sky, its massive air current blowing many unprepared people away, the dust raised not only obscuring the secret base but also covering half of Jinworth Academy.

In the academy, students who were up early for training were puzzled by the sudden gust of wind and dust storm, while the students on the Thunderbird were already tearing through the sky, heading straight for the battlefield in the Dark World.
