Chapter 272
Sans is ruthless, he will kill without hesitation if it’s the easiest way to solve their problem.
Liliaghant is a plant, she might appear kind and gentle but she won’t hesitate to kill you if you are a threat to her or her family.
The only ones that he can trust not go on a murderous rampage at the first thought are Wuk, Jasmine, and Bun Bun.
Wuk is strong but his heart is similar to his, the two of them are kind, almost too kind.
Bun Bun is bound by her pride and martial heart, she isn’t someone that will kill her opponent by just simple reasons, unfortunately, since she doesn’t have any equal, she’s prone to underestimate her strength.
Jasmine is a bit complicated, she’s smart, yet stupid at the same time, she was bound by the gentle power of the moon but has the power of monsterfication, she’s ruthless but also merciful.
That’s why she can be the city lord but the others cannot.
"The Sword and Magic World is too pitiful, the common people there doesn’t have any access to food or breathing techniques, no wonder kingdoms and empires there are quite lackluster." He mutters.
Their world exists for as long as his, probably even longer and yet their development can’t compares to his.
"Giving them an opportunity to grow stronger will help us obtain loyal warriors to fight for our cause and protect our home."
Since the knights grows stronger by using different breathing methods, copying mystique creatures, he might be able to create some techniques that can help them grow stronger without really relying on mystique creatures and just absorbing their blood.
Rather than just trying to imitate, he’s going to creature a breathing method that will make the practitioners grow stronger by consuming those type of mystique creatures and can even raise one themselves.
"A breathing method that can make them transform into werewolves, a breathing method that can help them fuse with their life bound mount or one that has similar effect to their original method?"
His confidence was the system but he doesn’t know which path is much better for the future of the knights and the future of their world.
"Just have Jasmine decide in the future." Without any shame, he decided to shove the problem to his partners.
Next was the other cities, he’s going to give them their own path of advancement in the future, as long as they show enough potential or had contributed to the development of their zones.
"Speaking of contribution, I think that the Dwarf City has contributed a lot after they joined our zone, I think it’s time for me to visit them."
Too bad that he can’t use his abilities, if he can, he would try to find a way to make them grow stronger.
Suddenly, his phone starts ringing, he quickly picks it up, those that knows his phone number are all important people in his life.
"Master, something bad has happened, I’ve gathered everyone that are available in the city hall."
Hearing this, his expression quickly changes, without hesitation, he immediately leaves the house together with his bodyguards.
With his authority, he can travel on the rooftop, with just a single leap, he was able to travel from houses to houses in a blink of an eye.
Arriving at the city hall, he instructs the Fox Spirits to wait for him as he went to the meeting room.
He wasn’t the only one there, Maki and Fabuki are already there, their expressions are solemn.
"What has happened?" Seeing that the two sisters might have an idea regarding Jasmine’s emergency meeting, he asks them.
"The Core Zone is now losing, an Innate from the Federation was killed, more than half of their territory was conquered, hundreds of gold rankers were killed, the number of silver rankers is just too many for them to count."
He wasn’t surprised that an Innate can be killed, he had slain multiple of them, what shocked him was the hundreds of gold rankers!
They might sound so common if just based on numbers of alone but they are frankly the strongest force of their world, just below the Innates.
Those gold rankers that were killed didn’t have him, didn’t obtain any cheat techniques like the Basic Cultivation Technique, they managed to reach their rank through their own potential and massive investment.
It had taken them years to reach that level, to hear that hundreds of them were killed, this was a massive blow to their race.
"What are your current thoughts?" He quickly asks, he wasn’t afraid that their enemies will target their zone, they are more than welcome to try.
Still hearing the strongest bastion of mankind is now slowly dying makes it difficult for him to just ignore it.
"They want to send many of their descendants on our zone and was hoping to let us lend the strength of at least two divine guardians."
"I don’t think that’s possible." Jasmine enters, together with some of the people that were on the meeting with her in her office.
They don’t know what happened but they had heard what Maki had just said.
They were stunned, who dared to request the aid of their strongest force.
"Let’s talk about this when everyone is finally here."
Because of his disguise, no one can recognize him, still, seeing that three of the people with the highest status in their zone agreeing to keep silent, they still follow his instructions.
One by one, people enters, including those from the other cities, looking at the new faces, he was surprised.
Meanwhile, the city of the Everglazed Witch City was searching for someone, seeing him sitting besides Jasmine, he quickly recognizes him.
He approaches him. "Sorry! I can’t inform principal Frost, she’s currently deep in cultivation."
He nearly kneels in front of him but he quickly stops him.
"It’s okay, what about Witch, why isn’t she here?"
"She and the rest of the candidates for the title of Witch are now undergoing baptism."
"No wonder she’s not present in such a important meeting."
Once everyone is seated, Jasmine starts the meeting.
"Greetings everyone, I have gathered all of you here to inform you that the Core Zone is now losing against the attack of the demon race, here is the report we received from the soldiers there."
She didn’t even bother reading the report herself and just shares it with everyone.
"For those that are unaware, the Core Zone is formerly known as the strongest territory of this world and the last bastion of mankind, of course, that’s only known to the people brainwashed by the Federation." She wasn’t interested in entertaining the idea of sending support to the Core Zone.
Since they didn’t send any support towards their zone and the other zones, they must not expect to receive the same aid in kind.
They had the gall to actually dare to request the help of her siblings to fight for them, they wish!
Sensing her anger, Sean finally speaks.
"Do anyone have any opinion regarding this matter, for me, I accept their plea for help, we shall accept the people that they send to us but I’m not going to accept their request for aid, the divine guardians aren’t only the main fighting power of our territory, they are also tasked with multiple important missions."
Jasmine was nervous when she first heard him say that he agrees with the request of the Core Zone but after hearing that he’s also against sending help, she was gladden.
Everyone agrees with his opinion while some argues about sending lower rank soldiers to help escort the refugees.
Seeing that people are now arguing, Sean just watches quietly, he turns to Jasmine, which hurriedly coughs loudly, silencing everyone.
"I know that some people here have family members in the Core Zone and I agree with you sending lower ranking soldiers to escort the refugees."
Those that have family members were all nervous, they might not know him but for I’m to be able to obtain Jasmine’s support, they know that his words carries heavy weights.
Especially, the two Tatsu sisters, their mother, their cousins are still there, they are also good friends with some of their relatives on the Sichuan family side.
"How about this, those who have relatives or close companions on the Core Zone shall send their own subordinates to escort them here, the number of people per family or power that they can send is one hundred, the person going to lead the group will be headmaster Maki and her sister."
They were shocked by this, only to see the expression of the Tatsu sisters brightening up, they quickly realizes that the two definitely have family members on the Core Zone.
"Our zone is going to enter a state of high alert, those from the Border Defense are going to be stationed near the borders around the zone, their primary mission isn’t to defend the place but relay information, they have permission to retreat in any unwinnable situation, waiting for the support of the divine guardians."
Hearing this, everyone agrees, many of them have ties with the Border Defense, since, that’s the department with the easiest way to earn contribution points.
The current commander was also the commander of City Z1, he was now a cyborg, he didn’t lost his humanity, it was because of Jasmine and Liliaghant.
One strengthens his soul and once heals his injuries, he’s now in a perfect balanced state, using all of this time, trying to train as many soldiers as he can.
"Now then, in another agenda, it seems that the other zones has fallen, since the enemies has focused their strength towards attacking the Core Zone, we’re going to focus attacking the other zones."
Startled, all of them frowns.
"In order for this to work, we can’t mobilize a large group, that means, only a small number of elites are going to be deployed." This was a bit confusing, there elites aren’t ready yet for such a massive move.
"That’s why, I’m going to make a move personally, my first stop is on City Y, to inform Phoenix Empress that she’s going to join the attack on the other zones, with our speed, we wouldn’t need to worry about fleeing when we encounter danger."
Jasmine’s expression changes but before she can say anything, he gestures something below the table.
’Let us talk about this back home, right now, just listen.’
"War Goddess will also be deployed, with three forces attacking different zones, it will give more time and preparation for those at the Core Zone to evacuate the refugees."
Three forces, two of which are divine guardians, it’s a force to be reckoned with.
"If we’re letting the two attack the other zones to give more time for the refugees, why don’t we just let them attack the invading forces in that Core Zone place you guys are talking about?" The dwarf was confused.
"Firstly, because it’s going to be too dangerous, I’m not going to risk the safety of the divine guardians to a place that truly isn’t ours, secondly, control, if we let the divine guardians act as they please, they are able to exhibit their maximum strength and also give them a higher chance of escaping, those old coots from the Core Zone will definitely to control them and make them stay there."
Those that are natives of this world deeply agrees with his words.
"Thirdly, number, I’m pretty sure those old coots would definitely try to put them in a place containing the greatest number of enemies, the likelihood of being besieged on all sides is quite high."
They made it sound like the Core Zone is full of corruption.
The leader of Glorious Knight City was deep in thought, what they describe about the Core Zone reminds him of the location of the capital cities in the great kingdoms of their world.
"We can worry about ourselves without worrying about the safety of others, that’s the greatest advantage we have on this mission."
