Chapter 162: Assassination on Strong Hammer Military Base (I)
After completing the dagger, Jormungandr carefully stored it in his space ring. He then proceeded towards his alchemy laboratory, where his next project awaited. This task, unlike the previous one, didn’t demand an extensive amount of energy for refinement and melting, sparing the Xaos Tower’s energy pool.
Mitchel, Cazan, Clasius, Roman, and Frank stood in awe as Jormungandr disappeared behind the alchemy laboratory walls. The small yellow cat’s abilities were terrific, and the man could not help but hope to have one of his creations. It was clear to all that there was a compelling reason why he held the second position in the entire kingdom.
The five men then remained silent, waiting for the women’s bloodline matrix to be completed. Standing and waiting was something any soldier was used to doing.
An hour after Jormungandr finished with the dagger, the door of the rune laboratory opened, revealing Amara and Mirena. The two women displayed radiant smiles as powerful bloodline matrices covered their bodies.
Vlad soon emerged from the rune laboratory, his face pale due to exhaustion and energy drain. However, his endurance and stamina had significantly improved over the past months, so he would be fine in a couple of hours.
Not wanting to waste time, Vlad waved his hand, ensuring all seven powerful masters of the Xaos Kingdom stood in formation before him, which they immediately did.
Vlad glanced at the group, a broad smile appearing as he saw their rising power, but soon, sharpness returned to his eyes. He took a deep breath and focused on the only one who was not a Royal Guard. "Brigadier General Mitchel, step forward."
Mitchel might be young but was already a seasoned soldier, having faced all sorts of dangers, and stepped forward with a firm military stance, his eyes sharp and full of focus.
"You will take a squad of 30 soldiers and unite with Grand Marshal Anglius’ forces, supporting them in their advance toward Nagan Mountain." Vlad’s eyes were sharp as he took the Tower Key, opening the stair to the surface, "Leave now and choose the soldiers you will take. You have two days to depart."
