Chapter 485: Under the Bright Moon City, Waiting for Guests
As Vincent’s voice gradually disappeared, Benjamin and the rest of them felt that they were being transported away.
However, there were no movements from the surrounding area and Vincent was still standing not far away. Everything looked very normal.
Benjamin thought that Vincent must have made a mistake. This was unless the entire space around them was moving along with them, which seemed rather impossible.
Benjamin and the rest of them felt a slight tremor under their feet. They could not help but look at Vincent.
Vincent snapped his fingers lightly, and a ball of fire lit up. The ball of fire immediately turned into a fire dragon that occupied the entire tunnel while lighting up the entire space.
Vincent looked at Benjamin and the others and said with a smile, “I know what the three of you are thinking. Even though we have reached our destination, we still have to wait for the others to arrive before I can bring you guys to have a look around. In the meantime, you can use the light in the tunnel to see what is around you!”
After hearing that, Benjamin and the others immediately turned their heads to look around. They then realised that the tunnel barrier behind them was actually transparent!
They could clearly see a vast underground space through the tunnel. It seemed to be the remains of an underground river.
Robin, who was the first to adapt to the situation, said blankly, “Isn’t this just a dry underground water tunnel? What’s there to see?”
Vincent nodded slightly. He tacitly agreed with Robin’s words and said indifferently, “That’s right. This is indeed an underground river, but when you really go to that space, you will understand its magic!”
Robin once again sized up the space outside. After thinking for a moment, he said with a shocked expression, “Don’t tell me you want to kill us so that you can save time and avoid the work of disposing of our corpses!”
Vincent smiled. He then raised his hand and gently hooked his finger. The fire dragon hovering in the space tunnel was flying up and down in the air as if it was alive.
Vincent said softly, “If I wanted to kill the three of you, why would I need to dump your bodies? As long as the fire touches you, even your ashes won’t be left behind!”
After hearing what Vincent said, Robin let out a long sigh of relief. He muttered, “That’s good, as long as you don’t kill us, we’ll do anything!”
Benjamin turned to look at Robin with disdain. His tone was cold as he said, “Trash like you can have faith? How are you an elf? You’ve completely disgraced the entire Dark Elves! Let’s see how you’ll face the statue of Gajero in the future!”
Robin said indifferently, “Why can’t I face the statue of Gajero? I believe in him as a god because he can make me the City Lord. He can let me lead the soldiers and residents of the city to hold a banquet and drink fine wine. But I’ve never thought of dying for him! If Gajero is not happy about it, he can choose not to acknowledge me as a believer. At that time, I can just change my belief. Anyway, as long as my life is not in danger, I can continue to drink my life away. That would be better than anything else!”
After Benjamin heard Robin’s depraved words, he was so angry that he did not know what to say. He could only glare at Robin fiercely. Afterwards, he turned his gaze to the side and could not look at him for a second longer.
Mcgee, who had been quiet the whole time, opened his mouth and said, “The two of you shouldn’t fight for now. If we were to fight amongst ourselves, then our lives and deaths will be in the hands of each other. We should instead work together. Perhaps we can still fight for a chance of survival!”
Robin and Benjamin each let out a cold laugh after hearing what Mcgee had said.
Robin looked at Vincent in fear and sighed softly, “Work together? Stop joking. Even if the three of us were to be tied together, we would not be his match!”
Benjamin also agreed in a rare manner, “That’s right. He did not kill us because our identities and duties are still useful to him! But if the three of us were to join forces to resist, then he would definitely kill us. Who knows, he might even implicate my wife. Don’t bring me along to do such a suicidal thing!”
After hearing the reactions of the two of them, Mcgee could not help but say, “You have misunderstood my meaning. What I want to say is that since he has taken a liking to our identities, it must mean that he wants us to do something. As long as we all choose to cooperate, everyone will be able to live safely!”
Benjamin and Robin were stunned when they heard that. They turned to look at Mcgee at the same time, their eyes filled with shock and helplessness.
They had thought that Mcgee was the least afraid of death among the three of them. He seemed like he was ready to unite them and fight together. However, in the end, they realized that Mcgee was already thinking of compromising with the other party!
Vincent, who was standing not too far away from the three of them, did not seem to hear their conversation. He did not react at all. He just quietly looked at the light screen in front of him. He was currently in the underground space of Bright Moon City and was slightly closer to the territory of Devil Flame City. However, he did not discover anyone entering the space tunnel near Devil Flame City. This made him a little anxious. At the same time, he was also worried that something unexpected might have happened.
…
At the same time, under Devil Flame City, Dave, Ebenezer, Avril, and Angelina walked out of the city gate together. They were just about to begin their missions.
“The four groups attacking our Devil Flame City are coincidentally spread out in four different directions. They are advancing rapidly toward Devil Flame City. I’ve only just confirmed the latest movements of the four groups. Next, I’ll ask Ebenezer to go to the east, Avril to the north, and Angelina to the south. You’re all going to deal with the city lords of the three cities. As the opponents’ strength is very strong, the three of you must work hard! As for the army in the west, just leave it to me. The leader there is only a general, so it is relatively easier for me to deal with him. My strength should be enough to deal with him, so let’s work hard together. Send the target into the space tunnel before dawn!”
Ebenezer and the others did not have any objections to Dave’s arrangement. As they were in such dangerous situations, it was best to distribute work according to one’s ability. Accidents were often more likely to happen if one had to deal with opponents that were stronger than them.
Avril nodded and reminded everyone, “Alright, everyone, let’s go. Pay attention to your safety!”
After everyone said goodbye to each other, they turned around and left in different directions.
Compared to Melissa and Monica, who had just mastered the modification authority, the four of them in Devil Flame City were obviously much more skilled. Therefore, although they set off later, their efficiency was extremely high!
Ebenezer who was a shadow demon naturally had the advantage of moving faster in the dark. After running at full speed for half an hour, he finally saw an army rushing by in the middle of the wilderness.
The one leading the army was Gilbo, the City Lord of Black Iron City, the neighbor of Devil Flame City!
Gilbo did not come from a noble family. Instead, he rose to the position of City Lord from an ordinary soldier. Therefore, his ability was definitely one of the best among all the City Lords. His prestige in Black Iron City was unrivaled.
After receiving the mission from Ramirez, Gilbo immediately gathered his army. He was prepared to flatten Devil Flame City to defend his faith.
Under Gilbo’s orders, more than 100,000 troops had gathered in Black Iron City. They aimed to march toward Devil Flame City in one night.
Gilbo maintained his usual style of leading the troops. He was walking alone in front of the army. As long as he did not stop, the soldiers behind him would always follow him. This way, he could ensure that the troops raid Devil Flame City at the fastest speed.
However, at that moment, Gilbo noticed that there seemed to be a black shadow rushing toward him. As the light at night was too dim, Gilbo was uncertain if he was mistaken, or if there was really something that was moving at such a fast speed.
“Wait a minute, I…”
Just as Gilbo was about to ask his troops to stop and go forward to check, the black shadow had already rushed in front of him and pushed him back.
Gilbo, who was retreating, did not bump into the soldiers behind him. Instead, he fell into a magical space, leaving behind his troops.
“Eh? Where’s the City Lord?”
“What’s going on? Why did the City Lord suddenly disappear?”
“Stop the army immediately! Tell everyone to spread out and search for the City Lord!”
The soldiers at the front shouted in a panic one after another. At the same time, they started to give emergency orders, ordering the hundreds of thousands of soldiers to spread out and search for Gilbo in the wilderness.
In the space tunnel, Ebenezer stretched his arms and looked at the confused Gilbo. He said softly, “You are my master’s guest. I am only responsible for bringing you here. You can talk to my master directly if you need anything, so you must not think of attacking me. Otherwise, you will bring along a body full of wounds to see my master. That will be very disrespectful!”
Gilbo listened to Ebenezer’s kind reminder, but he still had no idea what had just happened. Just as he was about to ask cautiously, he felt the platform under his feet move quickly. Everything in front of him started to stretch into a long thin line.
When he came back to his senses, the scene in front of him had changed again.
Ebenezer had disappeared, and a smiling foreigner appeared instead. At the same time, there was a fire dragon circling behind him, illuminating the surrounding space.
“Bang!”
Before Gilbo could come back to his senses, the back of his head was hit hard, and at the same time, the sound of gasping could be heard behind him.
“Who is it?”
Gilbo turned around and saw two men standing behind him. They were holding the back of their heads with their hands.
Gilbo asked in surprise when he saw the two of them, “Monde! Charlie! Why are you two here?”
They were the two city lords of the surrounding cities of Devil Flame City. They had appeared in the magical space at the same time as him.
Monde and Charlie looked even more confused than Gilbert. They said in unison, “We don’t know. We just met a strange woman on the way, and then we fell down here!”
