Chapter 306: Chapter 306: Assigning Tasks_1

"Yimu Qingling, you and Vermilion Bird must guard the Divine Land Region. After resolving the Nightmare, let it directly head to the Starry Sky Battlefield."

"Not coming to Odinis?"

Yimu Qingling looked at Gitalien with some confusion. After a moment of silence, Gitalien said,

"No, we don’t know if its abilities will be affected by the Barrier. Besides, right now we only need you to stabilize this place and investigate. As long as we can hold out until the end of the Starry Sky Battlefield, we can concentrate all our efforts against Odinis."

"You must be careful after entering Odinis. Its control over Odinis has weakened, and though you might not die, being trapped would still be troublesome."

Listening to Gitalien arranging and explaining the precautions, Feng Yuan pulled out a pitch-black Ancient Book in his hand and with a vigorous shake, a slightly smaller black Ancient Book fell out. After putting away the pitch-black book, Feng Yuan picked up the black one, patted it, and turned to Agunas, saying,

"This is for you, consider it a copy. Make sure not to lose it, otherwise, I’m in trouble."

Carefully accepting the black Ancient Book passed from Feng Yuan, Agunas nodded his head.

"This is... Those bastards actually followed us here..."

The woman, ensconced in black robes and reeking of alcohol, covered her forehead and sat up from the sofa, leaning against it, she closed her eyes. After a while, she slowly opened them, revealing a fierce glare as she whispered,

"I didn’t expect you’d dare to taint that place!"

Picking up a tarot card from the table casually, where the design of a shadow amidst the Black Mist with crimson eyes looked incredibly sinister. With a light swipe, the image vanished, leaving behind three unknown characters, which translated to,

"Nightmare"

"Sigh, had I known, I wouldn’t have wasted it like that..."

The woman muttered, bending over to pick up the scattered cards on the floor. She stacked one card after another in her hands, and after a short while, she gathered them all, looked them over carefully, and sighed,

"What a pity E Hua Temple is gone..."

Omeilia Region—Near the Black Tower at Valrean Lake

A gigantic mechanical Deer-type Spirit Beast, staring at the Black Tower now covered in bright golden runes, gave a fierce roar. A multitude of mechanical creatures appeared from the void and launched an assault on the Black Tower.

The Black Tower, not to be outdone, lit up with glowing magic runes along its structure. Animals mutated by the influence near the tower stared with crimson eyes, fixated on the mechanical giant Spirit Beast.

"Captain, what do we do now? Should we assist Ernis?"

Hiding in the woods nearby, dressed in special uniforms, the squad members cautiously observed from behind the trees. One of the female members asked their leader, who after peeking out and sighing, said,

"Even though I find Ernis irritating, during times like these, we need to assist it, considering the destructiveness of the Black Tower is too high."

"But... are we sure that Ernis won’t attack us?"

After glaring at the member who had spoken out, the captain said helplessly,

"Do you plan to just stand by and watch? Should we report afterward that Ernis destroyed the Black Tower number three of Valrean Lake while we enjoyed the spectacle?"

"I didn’t mean that... It’s just that..."

As the squad members hesitated, Ernis had already led its mechanical creatures toward the Black Tower. Seeing Ernis stopped by the Black Tower’s dark barrier, the captain bit his lip, taking the squad out and using their special equipment to quickly breach the Black Tower’s barrier.

With the assistance of the squad, the Black Tower’s defenses failed to hold. As the Black Tower collapsed under the assault of Ernis, Ernis cast a complex glance at the squad members sprawled on the ground, then left without looking back.

"Phew, thankfully Ernis didn’t attack us..."

"This Black Tower is becoming stronger, glad that the jamming device still works."

Resting for a long time atop the ruins of the Black Tower, the squad members who had recovered helped each other up and left, leaving behind mutated beast corpses silently telling their story.

"Task distribution finished. Feng Yuan, you’d best stay in Great Li during this period. Without Agunas by your side, some things are not easy to handle, and it temporarily cannot borrow our power..."

As Gitalien spoke, he glanced at Xiao Ji perched atop Feng Yuan’s head. Xiao Ji turned around, back facing Gitalien, to show it was very angry. Noticing Xiao Ji’s behavior, Feng Yuan smiled, took Xiao Ji down from his head, held it in his arms, and gently stroked its head, saying,

"I understand, but I’ll still need your help with getting leave, and don’t forget I have a punishment to serve on the weekends besides attending class."

"When I return, I’ll talk to them. The situation now involves not only us, the Divine Beasts, but the Alliance must also exert effort."

"And the Divine Beast Hall?"

Feng Yuan looked at Gitalien with some confusion, not believing that Gitalien would forget that force which held the same status as the Alliance.

"Them? Perhaps having existed for too long, some issues have reached a point where they can no longer be suppressed."

"No wonder he and it made that choice back then..."

Gitalien said, his expression somewhat lonely, and with displeasure on his face, Feng Yuan said

"At a time like this, they’re still busy with infighting?"

"It can’t be stopped now, and what’s more, the part allocated to humans ensures that severe incidents don’t break out in the various major regions. Compared to the Divine Beast Hall, it is more appropriate for the Alliance to handle."

"The definition of a Divine Beast?"

"Exactly."

Upon hearing Gitalien’s unequivocal answer, Feng Yuan’s face darkened, but he couldn’t say much more. After a while, the Divine Beast that was dispatched to Odinis set forth towards the distant continent of Odinis under the leadership of Delong Tower. Watching the departing Divine Beasts, Feng Yuan sighed and said

"I wonder if we’ll ever see each other again..."

"This is our duty; the moment we became Divine Beasts, we already understood."

Gitalien seemed to be responding to Feng Yuan’s murmur as he sent off the distant figures of the Divine Beasts, whispering. After a while, when their shapes were no longer in sight, Gitalien turned to the Divine Pact Makers and said

"Do you all have other matters to attend to? If so, I can send you back first. At most half a day later, I’ll transport you to the regions you’re assigned to guard."

After hesitating for a moment, some of the Divine Pact Makers indicated that they still had things to take care of. After sending those individuals back, Gitalien looked at those ready to depart immediately and said

"This is a token. I’ll transport you to the Alliance’s hall of affairs in that region. Just explain your situation clearly to the local Alliance guards. If they have any doubts, tell them to wait for the Alliance’s orders."

Seeing the scales floating in front of Wu Feng and the others, Feng Yuan suppressed the urge to reach out. Since everyone was not on the same continent, Gitalien needed to perform Spatial Transfers one by one. Feng Yuan looked at Wu Feng and couldn’t help saying

"The region you’re guarding is the Dereck Region, which isn’t too far from here, but it’s still quite dangerous."

"What? You want to persuade me to give up?"

"No, I want to remind you to be more cautious. You haven’t seen much, and it’s best to get the contact information of a high-ranking member of the Alliance to contact at any time. It would be ideal if it’s a representative of the Alliance Council."

Wu Feng looked at Feng Yuan with suspicion, not understanding what he was trying to say.

"Never mind, let Gitalien help you make contact later. If you encounter anything suspicious, no matter how trivial, you must contact the representative. It might just be the other side’s covert move."

"Is that necessary?"

Gazing at Wu Feng, Feng Yuan said after a moment

"It’s necessary. In war, no tactic is excessive. If we are not prepared for the worst..."

"What you’re saying is indeed necessary. These Divine Pact Makers are all too young. If the other side surreptitiously employs some tactic, indeed, it could be hard to deal with."

Gitalien said with a somewhat solemn expression as he looked at the Divine Pact Makers, none of whom were over thirty years old. Feng Yuan smiled and said

"Anyway, those old foxes have seen it all; having them assist would be perfect."

Gazing at Feng Yuan for a while, Gitalien seemed to joke

"If you didn’t have another task, I’d really consider placing you in the Dereck Region."
