Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1793: Chapter 940: Leaving Now to Return Someday

Midnight.

Silver City’s air force base was bustling, with airships continuously taking off under command, reaching designated altitudes in the sky, forming an expedition formation.

The soldiers on the base looked up from the ground, seeing the signal lights of the airships forming a giant arrow in the sky, thereby reducing air resistance and minimizing the energy consumption of the entire fleet.

The former Tenth Black Knight, now the new Silver City Duke, stood before the floor-to-ceiling glass of the tower, with nine newly appointed Black Knights behind him.

These Black Knights were all disciples of the previous Silver City Duke, Lao Er, Lao Wu, Lao Liu, and others, with varying levels of strength, some were C-Class, others were A-Class.

Now, this legacy has been retained and has become a chess piece in the hands of the Royal Family.

Once everything was ready, the Silver City Duke turned to the Black Knights behind him and said, ”The time for revenge has come. It’s time for the Eastern Continent to pay a painful price. We will arrive at Relay Island in one day and meet up with the Storm City fleet, land in the north of the Eastern Continent Federation, consolidate Deer Island and Jindai’s forces in the north within a month, and take down the Federation within three months.”

Relay Island had been under construction for half a year, and it could finally be put to use, marking the unprecedented war launched by the Empire.

Meanwhile, Storm City’s forces were also gathering at the fastest speed, with an airship slowly approaching in the night sky, landing on the Storm Fortress.

The Duke of Storm City was the first to walk down the gangway and enter the Storm Fortress.

In the shadows, someone was silently observing everything from a corner. After confirming that the Empire was going to launch a blitzkrieg against the Eastern Continent, he immediately turned and entered a stall in the restroom on the second floor, attempting to send a message to Black Spider using the satellite communication device.

However, upon pressing the send button, he found he could not send it.

The communication device constantly displayed failure.

The next moment, the restroom door was opened, and the crisp sound of a leather shoe heel on the floor slowly approached, causing the intelligence officer’s heart to leap to his throat, as he curled up quietly on the toilet lid, waiting.

Maybe the person was just coming to use the bathroom.

The leather shoes continued to move forward, leaving the intelligence officer’s line of sight.

But just as he slightly relaxed, he saw the shoes suddenly return, stopping at the stall door, directly facing the partition.

The intelligence officer felt a bit uneasy, waiting in a daze, as the shoes suddenly stopped moving.

He began to look around, and in the next moment, he suddenly screamed in terror, realizing the Duke of Storm City’s sinister face was peering over the partition, coldly watching him from above!

”Black Spider, not dead?” the Duke of Storm City asked coldly, ”She betrayed me?”

The intelligence officer trembled and did not speak.

”Want to experience the torture of Dark Magic?” the Duke of Storm City asked.

The intelligence officer hurriedly said, ”She is not dead, she is now with Joker!”

Not every intelligence officer has a sense of absolute loyalty. Now that Black Spider is standing on the Eastern Continent’s side, the intelligence network she controls is mostly leveraged through ’leverage’ to control the intelligence officers, with no talk of loyalty.

For example, the current intelligence officer had been discovered embezzling funds, and if Black Spider exposed it, he would be utterly disgraced.

This kind of intelligence network is actually very fragile.

However, the news that Black Spider had defected to Joker put the Duke of Storm City in a fit of rage.

He recalled the woman kneeling naked before him, thinking she might be doing the exact same thing now by Joker’s side: kneeling before Joker accepting lashes.

He felt an overwhelming fury.

This betrayal was so unexpected.

The Duke of Storm City opened the partition door, and with his huge hand, adorned with a ruby ring, covered the intelligence officer’s face, like palming a basketball.

Soon, he came out of the stall and instructed an Arbiter outside, ”Clean up inside, and bring King to see me!”

The King who died in the Outer World was still just a substitute for the true King, just like Arthur who had died on Mount Everest earlier.

The Arbiter entered the restroom to find the intelligence officer had already become a charred corpse, but he was not afraid, just silently called people to carry the corpse away, dumping it out of the Storm Fortress along the sewer.

The blackened corpse fell from high altitude, shattering on the ground.

At this moment, the surviving King arrived at the Arbiter’s dark chamber where Dark Magic was practiced, and the Duke of Storm City looked at him: ”Are you ready?”

King looked back behind him, seeing his subordinates carrying a door inside. One of them took out a Golden Eye of Truth and rotated it ten times on the door, causing a ripple to slowly spread across it.

King said, ”After a month of trying, someone finally opened the Key of Gate in the city number 18.”

The Duke of Storm City said coldly, ”I wanted you to directly open the Key of Gate in city number 10! Not in city number 18!”

King explained, ”Cities 18 and 10 are known as the Federation’s Gemini Star, with only a distance of 600 kilometers between them, enough for you to use Dark Magic.”

Hearing this, the Duke of Storm City was somewhat appeased, ”Proceed.”

In the next moment, dozens of Arbiters, each with a box of Dark Magic Materials, walked through the Key of Gate.

On the other side of the door was a spacious apartment, with all the furniture covered in white cloth, and the curtains drawn. It seemed the apartment owner had been gone for a long time.
