In the middle position between Drifting City and Silver Moon City, on the left side, lies the Black Sail temporary fortress in the hilly area.
Come to the river and see!
This time, the Aran Envoy didn’t come personally because he couldn’t figure out Liszt’s intentions. He just sent a local herder from Mulong with a letter.
It was the ultimatum from Crocodile Island.
The letter described what happened in Black Rock City.
But what happened in the city that day was too bizarre. Whether Liszt truly had intentions to make peace or was just incompetent was unclear. It seemed like Liszt might indeed want to deal with the Eternal Sect. The monster was indiscriminately killing, and after breaking into the city, it attacked several heavy armored tanks. However, the army’s losses were even more severe.
One is for Liszt to personally come to Silver Moon City, to collaborate thoroughly in dealing with the Eternal Sect, ensuring the Eighteenth Formation is destroyed within one week. Chapters first released on novel✶fire.net
As with the Seventh Amendment, wait to be dealt with. Additionally, forget about doing business with Duguli. If this connection is severed, your Heaven Port will face internal and external troubles. The Narrow Sea Convention Organization is already targeting you. Duguli won’t be able to recover. Let’s see how you, East Sea Brother One, will handle this.
Liszt also received news from Heaven Port. Despite his harsh words of killing first and asking questions later, the people at the Narrow Sea were not intimidated, completely not bothering with Liszt.
"Going to the banquet?"
Shadi enjoyed the shoulder massage service from Yakai Chiyoko, sitting like a lord, even more comfortably than Liszt. The matter with Rein made no sense, what exactly happened?
Liszt folded the letter neatly.
Nashano shook his head at Liszt. It is undeniable that Liszt is now incredibly powerful, but that was a Grand General, and the frontline troops are seasoned veterans. All those large-scale magic-guided weapons of mass destruction are not something the grass-root people from the East Sea can handle.
Liszt couldn’t be sure if it was a trap set for him. He could at most bring a guard team and it certainly wouldn’t look like he was attending a banquet ready for war.
You’re telling me the missing Rein went on a killing spree in Black Rock City? Magnus kidnapped a Priest and managed to escape successfully.
It’s too strange, Liszt couldn’t figure it out. How did Rein suddenly go missing, suddenly massacre, and suddenly escape? The letter didn’t mention anything about magic transformation.
"Celeste said it should be dragged until the end of the year. Isn’t it a bit too quick for me to end the war now?"
Liszt thought this was a done deal. He could go now and deal with Crocodile Island, but Aran’s terror lies in continually sending Grand Generals. Even if all the Grand Generals are killed, middle-ranked Vice Admirals without military exploits are tough and will rush forward at any given chance. Can Aran, rich in talent, be exhausted?
Is it long-term operation or what? He pondered.
"So you actually thought , damn it!"
Nashano was speechless. It turned out Liszt didn’t take Crocodile Island seriously at all.
Liszt decided to ask for Fen’s opinion.
"I made a deal with Celeste. Our aggressive attack pattern should match Lostra’s penetration into Vadinia. Judging by the subsequent investment in the army’s budget, Vadinia being Aran’s crown jewel with a stable government framework, penetration work is tough. I suggest not attending the banquet and just play Crocodile Island. Then start the seesaw battle and observe its effect until late autumn."
Fen made this judgment.
The adventurer’s guild is an important source of information. Despite the war in Mulong, the guild’s postal service remains uninterrupted. If it didn’t have this capability, it wouldn’t have monopolized high-risk project outsourcing on other platforms based on strength.
Also learned from the newspaper that the geographic conflict between Aran and the Bay People’s Federation has escalated.
The Emperor once again is fighting against the whole world, setting up war fronts everywhere. In such circumstances, can still allocate people to build railways in Mulong? The terrifying extent is unimaginable, the national treasury isn’t just rich; it’s unprecedented. The prosperity seen two thousand years ago in Cyrus might be reappearing.
"A very fair judgment."
Liszt commented, this is the strategic core. At present, there is no need for a head-on confrontation with Crocodile Island. The priority is to exhaust Uborio, then take his place.
Now on the front line, finally contacted the people of the Seventh Amendment. Liszt had rescued Ban’s uncle, now the supreme leader.
The Seventh Amendment isn’t having it easy. Despite guarding the corridors of small countries around Aran as old terrorists, they still get pushed around by Aran’s regular army.
Liszt’s mentality was somewhat exploding.
Another plastic brother after Hened!
The old guns from the Northern Prison have notorious reputations, each more ruthless than the other when it comes to actual problems. They can’t handle it.
The messenger from the Seventh Amendment stated that they are currently retreating tactically and will provide all possible support except direct help.
But the problem is that the Seventh Amendment hasn’t given up on the Mulong piece.
The common translation roughly meant, we’re retreating, but we want a share of the territory. Lao Li, you hang on for now, if you are close to winning, I’ll come to add the final touch.
It was you who called me over in the first place, man!
However, Liszt didn’t mind. This was a secondary reason; the main reason is that the beautiful woman was willing to mediate his relationship with Lostra, obtain Fafna’s custody, and have support for his plans. Once the new district is established, he can also open up markets west of the Narrow Sea.
The communication soldier, no, communication pirate, who had been guarding the radio, reported a telegram from Drifting City.
Liszt didn’t waste words, he wanted to see what Wolman had to say.
It was the voice of the Immortal Emperor.
"I’ve returned from the Boneyard, the situation is complicated. I think I discovered some secrets about the Eternal Sect. The Sect had different idols in different periods, now it’s the Dragon Lord, previously it seemed to be something called Primordial Darkness. There were many demons inside; I captured one and brought it back. Similar to Haywood, they all have horns on their heads, bizarre skin color, obviously not human. Is this how you use this? Oh, press here, got it, I’ve finished."
Drifting City is not far from here, unlike Heaven Port, with no five-minute communication delay. You could say it’s real-time chatting.
Shadi held his head with both hands, Emiya Kiritsugu’s face became abstract, "Abstract Werewolf is strange enough, but why is connecting to the Immortal also so weird! Returned from the restricted area, captured a demon, Primordial Darkness! What on earth is that?"
Everyone in the command room was utterly astonished, even Fen was stunned for over ten seconds trying to understand Mika’s words.
"Primordial Darkness?"
Liszt somewhat recognized this, related to Dreya, had asked about the origin of the Blood Clan, and Dreya could only tell her what she knew.
The reason why the Blood Clan is immortal lies in a bacteria that existed since the Ancient Era, known as Ancient Scarlet Fever.
The special aspect is that only the dead can get infected.
Legend has it that this bacteria originated from the first dead being in the universe, and its remains spread all the evil forces, with Scarlet Fever being a minor part.
That supreme concept has no name and is simply called "Primordial Darkness."
"I believe it can’t be explained without face-to-face, quickly come here!"
Liszt said to the audio input device.
Garscek’s nonsense was one thing, Nashano being a madman was another. Now it seemed Mika encountered something significant.
It seemed like there truly was a catastrophe every nine hundred years.
