Pillar of Yita

Fang Hong surveyed the battlefield through his aerial vision and felt slightly puzzled.

When the Lizard Warrior Leader fell, the Night Lizard People’s command system naturally collapsed, leaving nothing but scattered sand, each fighting on their own. However, the fierce offensive by Silver Weslan took him by surprise.

The precise, no-nonsense striking style, and each unexpected move, made it hard to believe this was Silver Weslan’s usual style. Fang Hong couldn’t help but glance at Sophie beside him, who seemed not to be commanding her subordinates either.

Was it Silver Weslan’s high command?

But this style of command only reminded Fang Hong of one person.

Nevertheless, due to the extraordinary performance of Silver Weslan’s Elite Youth Training Group, the Night Lizard People’s defenses melted away like ice and snow, suffering heavy losses, and the remaining Night Lizard People lost the will to fight and quickly fled into the darkness.

And only at this moment—

did the emergency command center’s hall recover from an eerie silence, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, turning around to applaud KUN from a distance. But that ’Silver Fox’ stood amidst the spirited applause, seemingly indifferent, merely lifting his head to look at the young man on the several screens in the hall.

”Has the tally been done, what are the results?” someone finally asked.

Just then, someone entered, announcing to everyone, ”The analysis department has the results; he can control two Energy Angels, at least eight in all, and we rechecked the footage to find that he even left a Clockwork Fairy above the battlefield as a command relay...”

The room fell silent.

Well, nine controls.

Not even Level 5.

The applause in the hall suddenly dwindled significantly, and eventually, stopped completely.

Everyone fell back into silence, clearly understanding what this data implied, while Ambassador Liao gently set down a stack of documents. Even Loofah before entering the Order Realm wasn’t quite like this.

But this was a true Free Summoner.

What did that mean?

Some even surreptitiously thought they were experiencing a delusion, returning to the era when the Stargate opened, and the stars rose together—How many years had it been since they had seen such a wild talent?

However, always serious and responsible, Ambassador Liao turned his head for the third time to confirm, ”Are you really sure that two months ago, he was less than Level 4?”

Several men in black coats nodded in unison. The military’s style was always meticulous, and they had also checked their equipment afterward; there were no problems whatsoever.

”What did the people of Silver Weslan say?”

”They clearly stated he isn’t one of theirs.”

Ambassador Liao thought this was even more absurd. At least Loofah was born in the Grand Guild, only later going independent, while this was a real lone wolf cub. He rubbed his forehead, almost thinking he was hallucinating due to overworking.

”Then the Energy Angels?”

”The people from Silver Weslan did not disclose.”

”Never mind, that’s their Guild’s privacy, we don’t need to pry too deeply.”

He waved his hand and likewise lifted his head to look at that screen.

On the monitor, Fang Hong and Xiangzi had already returned to the location of the first Night Lizard Patrol Team they attacked, dumping the Lizard Warrior Leader heavily onto the ground. He paused to catch his breath, then turned back to ask the three, ”Do you have any way to wake it up?”

Sophie and Nether stayed silent; this was not their area of expertise. However, Xiangzi volunteered, pulling his collar and speaking in a muffled voice, ”Leave it to me!” With that, he grabbed the Lizard Warrior Leader and backhanded him a slap.

”Crap,” Fang Hong jumped, ”Be gentle!”

”Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.” Xiangzi, wearing his pointed wizard’s hat, replied in his muffled voice.

But Fang Hong looked skeptical, feeling that the fellow didn’t really know.

Unexpectedly, the other’s method actually worked. After being slapped into a pulp, the Warrior Leader grunted, suddenly woke up, and blinked, then looked at them warily with a frosty gaze.

Although captured, the opponent showed no sign of awe, even baring his fangs and issuing a hissing warning to Fang Hong and Xiangzi, appearing ready to pounce at any moment if it weren’t for being tied up tight.

In the command center, under the large screen, a military communications officer immediately shouted upon seeing this scene, ”Quick, find someone who speaks the Lizardman underground language!”

Fang Hong heard that too.

But he shook his head and said to Nether, ”Tell them, never mind.”

”Them?” Nether was surprised.

Nether was only granted audio permissions, so Fang Hong could not see where she was located; thus, he glanced at Sophie, thinking he wasn’t foolish and had already suspected something was off with these two, it was just that he hadn’t pointed it out due to the urgency earlier.

Behind Sophie, Su Changfeng crossed his arms and couldn’t help but laugh, ”It seems this kid isn’t completely clueless and not bad technologically, I’ll take him.”

Sophie rolled her eyes at him and murmured privately, ”You’ll take him? Dad, don’t you remember that you reported this intelligence, and now who knows how many eyes are on him, do you think you can still get him?”

She ruthlessly mocked, ”How come I recall your teams being just average among those people?”

Su Changfeng’s expression changed, and then he slapped his forehead, ”Crap, I forgot about this detail.”
