Chapter 539 - 277: Empire Witch (Part 3)
So far, I haven’t felt the Sky Knight Guild put up an effective resistance.
"I haven’t compared the situations on both sides, so I can’t conclude. Not long ago, I was just a little girl wanting to protect my hometown."
Meimei said, "However, the Guild suffered heavy losses when attacked at the Council Tower, which had far-reaching repercussions, causing them to organize a counterattack against the Empire only after the fall of Thousand Tower City."
At this point, the tense expressions of Otto and Farina eased a little. Although it was another Nebis incident, every one of them was incredibly familiar, naturally tugging at their hearts, and at this moment, they finally heard some good news.
The white-haired girl said that many key cities of Nebis were attacked by the Empire, and the Annihilation Star Soul seemed to be able to reach everywhere at any time, and its power was growing stronger and stronger.
Thus, the Guild chose the Desperate Secret Realm as a hidden base. These places, due to exploration by the Sky Knights, held sufficient intelligence, and hidden within, the Empire couldn’t strike.
"Which Secret Realms are there?"
Hearing this matter, Li Ang, Otto, and Farina were all intrigued.
Meimei listed several places, the most important being Moonlit Island.
"Moonlit Island? I really didn’t expect that."
Li Ang said, "Isn’t that the location of the Dark Night Ancient City?"
"Yes, Speaker Sisyphus’s brother has always advocated for work over there, constantly wanting to explore the city’s core. He once told me that if certain things could be found, the whole war situation might be reversed."
"In the end, nothing was found?"
"Yes." Meimei was very downcast. "He kept exploring there, day and night, without rest, until his death..."
Farina tapped her chin with her red nail, pondering, "In your world, without Li Ang assisting The Soul Apex, who conquered the Dark Night Ancient City?"
"The Soul Apex? Never heard of it. The ones advocating for the cleanup of the Dark Night Ancient City have always been the top-ranked Cloudwalkers Guild and Dome Furnace Association. The leader of the Cloudwalkers Guild is said to have inherited Divine Artisan Ernest’s legacy and the blessing of the Elf Realm, possessing immensely powerful strength and being the main force against the world’s enemy," Meimei said.
"Immensely powerful, the main force, that A Xiang?" Li Ang and the others were quite surprised.
"Their leader is not called A Xiang, but Drake," Meimei said, puzzled.
"Is that so?"
The three understood this information and tacitly said nothing.
Drake is the deputy leader of the Cloudwalkers, and this guild was founded by A Xiang. Without A Xiang, this guild wouldn’t have its name. This situation only indicates that the seemingly carefree young man in that world had died early.
Li Ang continued noting this information in the notebook in his hand.
In short, during the period when Meimei was twelve to fourteen, the just people of Nebis gathered and formed the Empire’s guerrilla army. She resolutely joined them, and through various infiltration and guerrilla battles, her strength developed rapidly.
In the meantime, under the Guild’s leadership, the people reclaimed half of Nebis’s fallen islands. Finally, when the Empire relied on Ancient Power for a sudden onslaught, caught off guard, they poured their fury onto the Empire. At the age of fourteen, just reaching Tier 8, Meimei and the others engaged in the final battle with the Empire in the new capital city Makena.
"What was the result of the battle?" Zoe asked eagerly.
Li Ang sensed she was more interested in what happened to Ivynis.
"Victory, continuous victory. Even the Annihilation Star Soul, strong enough to shroud the sky with the Dark Star Realm, wasn’t a match for the Celestial Groups who explored and found strategies to counter it."
"That’s more like it." A faint smile played across Farina’s face.
"However, in the end, still..."
As Meimei recalled, her narration fell into a difficult state, her expression untenable, finally transforming into an endless hatred that twisted her pretty features.
"Blame that cursed Empire Witch, that blue hair, obviously so close to the color of the sky, yet it brought ultimate destruction to this piece of sky! I curse her, I curse her!"
