Chapter 676: Chapter 270: Sword Blade Storm! (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)

Information from the underground intelligence hall was quickly transmitted to the mission hall through specially designed channels. seaʀᴄh thё Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

At this hour, the mission hall, compared to the brightly lit intelligence hall, had fewer staff but still maintained personnel on duty.

After receiving the urgent message, the originally yawning female clerk sprang to life and hurriedly delivered the marked urgent intelligence to the officer’s room with a “clatter.”

Today Lord Yumaz was on duty, but his type of duty was different from that in the intelligence hall—it usually involved no significant happenings except for situations like today.

…

Shortly after, Deputy Officer Olena, who was resting at home, was also called to the Sword Bearers Branch.

In the office of Officer Yumaz at the mission hall,

“Lord Yumaz, did you summon me?”

“Yes, Olena, there is something I need to discuss with you,” Yumaz handed over two pieces of urgent intelligence reported by the intelligence hall to the competent woman.

After receiving and quickly scanning through them, Olena furrowed her brows and after a few minutes, asked, “Lord Yumaz, what do you mean?”

“My thought is to have Lord Reine suspend the mission to kill ‘Bloodburner’ Raksul,”

“Initially, this mission was rated two-star gold, but given the strength displayed by the adversary this time, along with the possible influence of Secret Snake Sect’s envoy, the difficulty level of this mission needs reassessment,” Yumaz said solemnly, pausing before continuing:

“I think the difficulty of this mission has already reached the level of three and a half stars gold.”

“Even more, for safety’s sake, I think we should also suspend another three-star gold mission ‘Investigate the Truth Behind the Meister Attack Incident.’

“I suggest we only keep one gold-star mission ‘Protect the Governor of Meist County City.’

The competent woman, Olena, thought for a moment and asked, “Lord, what about the suggestion from the intelligence hall?”

“Colin, that slippery fellow, wrote to allow Lord Reine to decide on his own,” Yumaz stood up, saying irritably.

At the same time, he handed the annotations made by the intelligence hall on the two pieces of intelligence to Olena.

After pondering for a while, Olena said, “I think we can relay Colin’s suggestion directly to Lord Reine.”

“Huh?” Yumaz looked at his deputy in surprise.

“Olena, if Lord Reine were to take on three gold-level missions, it would already be against the rules. If anything were to happen to him, both you and I would be up for disciplinary actions!”

“Hmm… Thank you for the reminder, Lord Yumaz, but I believe in Lord Reine’s abilities,”

Olena lifted the report from the Observer Macken of Welsh County and said:

“Had we not received this report, I might have agreed with you, Lord. But now, I think we need to trust in Lord Reine, capable of performing miracles.”

“Have you forgotten, even when he faced the ‘Sea Tide Piercer’ with strength equivalent to a titled Knight, Lord Reine managed to emerge unscathed.”

“Moreover, since Meist is Lord Reine’s hometown, I think letting Lord Reine decide whether to continue would be the best choice.”

After hearing his deputy’s opinion, Yumaz fell into thought.

He paced back and forth in the room, deliberating.

After a long while, he finally nodded and said, “Fine! Since both you and Colin think so, we’ll arrange it like that.”

“However, adjust the reward level for the mission to kill ‘Bloodburner’ Raksul to three and a half stars. If Lord Reine successfully kills the adversary, we cannot let him receive any less reward,”

“By the way, do we have any available gold-level squads in our branch?”

Olena immediately understood the implication of her superior’s questions; he wanted to assign a mission to deploy another gold-level squad, but there were no resources to do so.

The competent woman shook her head and said:

“Not currently, Lord. As you know, the situation in Rosby County is even worse than in Meist. Over half of the gold-level squads in our branch have been dispatched there.”

As for silver-tier, they’re too weak, and sending them would only increase casualties.”

“Then let’s pass the intelligence to Lord Reine at the earliest, and also ask if he has any other needs that we could try to fulfill.”

“Alright, Lord Yumaz, I’ll go now!”

…

Welsh County.

At the temporary camp.

Following the message from the Observer Macken, after the battle, the remaining forces of the Black Flame Cult in Welsh County posed no significant threat to the team, so Reine did not need to consider traveling overnight.

Especially after just having fought a major battle, everyone, including the Transcendent Knight, showed signs of fatigue, not to mention the ordinary cavalry.

However, the occasional spark of excitement and spirit in their eyes proved that they were the victors.

After clearing the battlefield, under Cleya’s arrangements, everyone began to stand guard and rest again.

Reine, as a gold-level Sword Bearer, was able to call for non-combat support, one of the benefits being that Macken took ahead the critically wounded members for treatment, allowing the rest of the team to remain agile.

Reine, who had planned to consider possible enhancements, saw Cleya approaching and knew she must have something to discuss; he stood up immediately.

“Reine, shall we walk this way?”

“Certainly, Lady Cleya.”

The two moved to a slightly quieter spot near the camp, where Cleya looked at Reine with a curious and complex expression and asked:
