My Players Are So Fierce

“The Twilight Cultists have sent something extremely dangerous to the Brass Fortress, I must rush over immediately to prevent the worst from happening. I’ll leave the follow-up operations at White Cliff to you.”

The lord cautioned:

“Do you want me to leave the Holy Spear here?”

“If you leave it, what will you do? The situation at the Brass Fortress is no better than here, you should take it with you.”

Immortal Sim refused the suggestion decisively, his voice was very dry and, to put it bluntly, closely resembled the tone of Little Mummy when angry.

He said:

“Do not worry that the Pure faction will be contaminated, nor need you worry that the remnants of the Twilight will escape judgment at Circle Tower. I assure you, Millennium Lord, I will personally clean up this mess. You have seen it for yourself, what’s in my mind is protecting my sanity.”

“I know, and that’s why I confirmed you are trustworthy, but others.”

The lord shook his head and said:

“The string of actions by Twilight has proven their harmfulness, I must ensure nothing goes wrong.”

“What if I tell you that every member of the Pure faction has something similar in their minds, would that set your mind at ease?”

Sim pointed to his forehead, the gesture making his fingertips flicker with bizarre starlight, and he said:

“Purifiers also have an ‘initiation ritual.’ It’s a cruel and great sacrifice, just like you would pay everything to resist the intrusion of the subspace, we who have made mistakes are just as fervent about correcting them.

When you return again, you will see a purified organization!

The era of chaos and change foretold by the ‘Headmaster’ is on the way; all signs prove the accuracy of this prophecy.

Thus, I’ll say, in the war against subspace, the flag of Purifiers will also fly.”

“And what about them?”

Lord Pa Ying mounted his horse, grabbed the reins of the screeching Aurora, and pointing back at the burning high tower with the Holy Spear’s crimson spikes, he said:

“What will be the fate of these misguided folks? I know, many of them participated in more than one action to protect the world.”

“But they made incredibly wrong and foolish choices at the beginning of a war that would decide the fate of the world. Their past deeds can’t cover the present issues, if they erred, then they must face punishment.”

The Immortal spoke calmly and said:

“The trial of the ‘Purifier Vanguard’ has reached its final stage, and they will atone for their actions; only when the sins and penalties are settled will I allow them to rest in peace.”

“Though I don’t know what you intend to do, the bloody taste of your words is spilling out.”

The lord murmured:

“Then I wish you good luck, say goodbye to King Louis for me.”

After speaking, as Aurora sprinted with all four hooves, a swirling spatial tunnel opened before the lord, from White Cliff to Brass Fortress directly. Even with the symbolic spatial nature of Aurora, the lord must go through at least three spatial conversions and risk entering the battlefield breach opened by the Atlantean Shark People at Polut Pass.

He will do his utmost to prevent bad things from happening, hoping the Brass Fortress can hold until that moment, praying that the fortress’ rocks and those warriors who once guarded it will be just as steadfast.

“On the way to Kato, I’m lacking in strength alone, I must have a trustworthy assistant to help, Old Edward is free now, his keen senses and tireless super combat power are of great use there.”

In the journey through the spinning multi-colored light in the spatial tunnel, Lord Pa Ying suddenly said:

“Also, Aurora… shouldn’t you confess something to me?”

“Huh?”

The Unicorn continued to play dumb, the expression on his horse face feigning innocence, as if to say he was nothing more than a pitiful little horse and couldn’t understand what the Millennium Lord was talking about.

Confronted with the ostrich-like antics, the lord coughed once and said:

“I’m not asking you as the Blood Covenant Duke, but as Eden District Management Committee’s council member Pa Ying, asking you one last time, shouldn’t you confess something to me?”

“Damn! You remember? I knew it, that Handsome Murphy really can’t do a single good thing!”

Aurora cursed fiercely:

“But I have neither achievements nor sufferings with you these years, Pa Ying, good brother, you see, even when you lost memory, I did not abandon you, and subtly guided you to resolve the escape of the Lord of Darkness, the worst one.

I’m a pretty big underground agent within the Ancient Gods, right? Could you keep that dangerous pointy thing away from my head?

You tell me, what do you want to know, I’ll tell it all without reserve!”

“The location of the Ancient Gods’ prison! How many do you know?”

“Uh, actually not many…”

“Hmm?”

“Ah, when this is over, I’ll give you a map, okay?

However, Pa Ying, good brother, those guys aren’t as knowledgeable as I am, the Lord of Darkness and Nightmare Tyrant are just the two most unruly among them, now that you remember, you ought to know what happened last minute.

Your ambitious colleague Verdia likely completed his foolish ‘grand ambition’ and is now ‘expecting’ to reunite with you in the Old Gods’ prison.

That guy’s temper wasn’t great even over a thousand years ago, I think you really must be prepared for this.”
