Pillar of Yita

”Fatty, quick, over here, training is suddenly canceled!”

”What’s happened?”

”I don’t know, something major seems to have happened with Fenris!”

”Fenris?”

”It’s still unclear, the instructor told us to go to the teaching area for a brief meeting.”

Luo Hao looked back at the six beams of light piercing the sky.

He couldn’t help but stop in his tracks.

Stargate Port——

Inside the emergency command center, reports were converging from all departments.

”Sidewind Port Base Campaign Level Magic of category A3 is ready——”

”Interstellar passage shows no obvious obstructions.”

”Materials are fully prepared.”

”The nearest fleet is patrolling 1,400 kilometers south of Fenris.”

”Destination coordinates set between A310221 and A210214, negative 120 horizontal.”

Ambassador Liao glanced at the report in his hand, nodded slightly, then looked up to address Mr. Xiaya on the screen above Fang Hong: ”Mr. Xiaya, the resources you requested will arrive within five minutes. The interstellar passage of A3 level magic isn’t necessarily stable, so there’s a possibility of loss. Moreover, our precision at a distance over a thousand kilometers can only guarantee an accuracy within plus-or-minus one kilometer, so to ensure the destination is reached, we’ll send three sets of materials in intervals of a quarter-hour by teleportation.”

He paused, ”Afterward, you will need to find the drop-off points on your own, but if all three attempts fail, the next teleportation won’t be available until after three hours of recharging.”

”Lastly, if your mission fails, we will attempt a strike with Category A2 magic on your location, predicted to arrive six hours later, followed by fleet intervention.”

Fang Hong nodded slightly. Category A3 spells are the first tier of Campaign Level Magic, and the military was actually initiating Campaign Level Magic to transport their supplies, which also made him clench his fists, feeling as if he was partaking in history.

As for Category A2 spells, he only ever heard of the Revelation of Flame. During the Battle of Bain, the military used a Category A2 spell once and annihilated an entire sub-fleet of the Empire. But the Empire’s retaliation was equally severe, with legendary figures perishing on both sides of that battle.

And this wasn’t an old era nuclear weapon, a manifestation of a country’s industrial capacity, but in Eteliria, powerful magic-guided weapons were not just the result of Alchemy, but also involved legendary side characters, Dragon Knights, and Sky Knights, showcasing the true might of a country.

Fang Hong turned off the communicator, looked back at the others, and everyone understood the situation. The Silver Weslan’s members were somewhat quiet, each waiting for his command.

However, the man they were all waiting for just stood in the darkness, most of his face covered by shadows, with the flickering torchlight only illuminating the mask on his face.

Without any stirring speeches, Fang Hong simply stood there and said, ”Ladies and gentlemen, we need to have a temporary combat meeting.”

”Mr. Xiaya, is there even time to discuss this now?” the leading knight finally couldn’t help but ask.

”Sharpening your axe will not delay the chopping of wood,” Fang Hong replied, ”Before we act, it’s best to understand our tactical guidelines and objectives.”

He glanced at the captive Lizard Warrior Leader.

Nether, Sophie, and KUN’s holographic projections were beside him, with KUN simply nodding in agreement with his view.

Fang Hong nodded and addressed everyone, ”You all should understand the situation at hand. Our goal is to prevent Toragotos from using the Divine Body to resurrect into a Dark Deity. So, what do you think we should do to stop it?”

Ran Qingzhu pondered for a moment before answering, ”Can’t we just defeat these Night Lizard People and rush to the Obelisk before them?”

”We just repelled them once, don’t we need to take advantage of this time? If their main forces surround us later, we’ll be in trouble, even if the military supports us, we only have so many hands...”

Fang Hong looked at him and countered, ”So you believe—our opponents are the Night Lizard People? And the Jiefulite Red Cloak Team backing them?”

Ran Qingzhu was taken aback and said, ”Isn’t that the case? Boss, you also said they were colluding with the Dragon Worship Sect, right?”

Fang Hong shook his head.

He replied, ”The military has already contacted Jiefulite headquarters, which claims this is only the act of one of their sub-groups with the sole aim of the spire and maps below, unrelated to anything else, and they deny any involvement with the cultists—unfortunately, we only have evidence from the Blood Oath Alliance.”

Ran Qingzhu whistled, ”Not bad, the Jiefulite Red Cloak Team is skillful at disclaiming responsibility.”

Fang Hong didn’t respond; he knew the Jiefulite Red Cloak Team wasn’t entirely truthful, but they might not be completely deflecting either.

And that was the real trouble—

”So, have you made contact with their lower ranks?” Xi asked.

Fang Hong just looked at her and shook his head, ”The Jiefulite Red Cloak Team’s group down here is silent across all communication channels. They’re not responding to any calls—”

”How is that possible?” Ran Qingzhu exclaimed, ”What about the Blood Oath Alliance?”

”We can’t currently reach the higher-ups of the Blood Oath Alliance, and all remaining Elite Corps are underground, with the rank and file completely unaware of the situation below.”

The leading knight also looked puzzled: ”Could it be a cover story? What a coincidence, isn’t our communication working just fine?”

Nether laughed, ”Yours is fine, but dead men might not agree.”
