Chapter 399: The Power of the Military Territory

Military Territory...

It had already been 3 days ever since Olivia, Sarah and Diana arrived in this territory. During the past 3 days, they had been trying to look for any whereabouts about Sarah’s family.

It was just that the military territory was extremely big, and no matter how they tried, they could not find them that easily. After all, the number of soldiers that had already come over to this place was extremely high, despite the fact that the numbers had already reduced due to many of them dying out there in the field.

Moreover, at this stage of the apocalypse, it was obvious that it did not matter if a person was part of the military or not. As long as that person was not strong enough, then the rank that they would be possessing would definitely be quite low as compared to an ordinary person that possessed a high power ranking.

Since the military territory was the biggest territory present within the entire city, the population that the territory possessed was extremely high. So, for the three of them to be able to look for information about a small family was definitely not quite easy.

Additionally, it was not as if they were sure that Sarah’s family was here. Perhaps they had never been here at all considering that they might have ended up dying along the way. But that was not something that all of them were willing to see or hear.

They were all hoping that they would end up finding Sarah’s family. After that, they would deal with the military territory, so that they could gain control over this entire city. But it seemed that it was going to take them a very long time to be able to locate Sarah’s family.

Currently, along the streets of the military territory, the three ladies walked together as they continued looking around. Just like Trista territory, the military territory was also quite organized.

But as one could expect, there was division within this territory, with those possessing the highest rank living in better places, while those that possessed low power levels lived in the most poor areas.

Additionally, some people really wanted to complain, but they did not dare to do that openly. Inside here, for whatever a person got, they had to pay taxes for it. That was the kind of oppression that was disturbing the majority of the residents within the territory.

Nevertheless, there was nothing that they could do considering that they could not fight against the military. After all, the power that the military possessed was extremely high, especially so for the leader of the territory himself.

The three were continuously asking people about information concerning Sarah’s family, but no matter how it was that they asked, that particular person would tell them that they had never heard of them.

Of course it was not strange that the three of them were asking for information about the presence of a certain family. In this apocalypse, many families had been separated, with some of them being out of the city or even out of the country, and only coming back at the moment.

So, the actions of the three ladies did not attract any much attention. It was just that the power level that they possessed was something that attracted the attention of those present within the military territory.

Due to the prankster Crystal that they had utilized, the power levels that were being displayed for each of them were as follows, Diana an Archer of level 2 gold rank, Sarah a light mage of level 1 gold, and Olivia a lightning mage of level 3 gold rank.

Despite the fact that there was actually a large number of people that had already reached the gold rank, still, those that possessed the gold rank power level were definitely quite standing out, and the number was extremely low as compared to the entire population of the territory.

So, since the previous day, the three ladies had already detected that there was someone that was watching them, watching each and every movement that they made. It was clear that they were still being suspected about the reason why they were here.

"What do you think about searching in that lower end of the territory?" Olivia asked after a moment of contemplation. Initially, they had decided that they were going to look for information about Sarah’s family from the area where the majority of the military was located.

But that was when they realized that they could not find any of them easily. After all, although it was true that the majority of the people present in this part were actually from the military, there were actually other people that were also not from the military, but they also lived in this place.

So, this was going to be kind of inconsistent for them to be able to look for the information about it. Despite the fact that being part of the military, perhaps there would be some colleagues of Sarah’s father who would be able to identify him. But all of them possessed egos of their own, and they did not want to be questioned about some other family members.

Sarah thought about it for a moment before she nodded. No matter how low the chances were, it was better for them to start looking.

Diana on the other hand contemplated for a moment before she suggested, "Why don’t we use mutation crystals in order to pay up a few people to help us with looking for information about her family? I’m pretty sure that if we do that, the speed at which we are going to be able to locate Sarah’s family is going to increase."

The other two thought about it, and they realized that it was actually quite reasonable. Just the three of them were definitely not going to be able to cover the entire territory while looking for information about Sarah’s family that fast enough.

With that decision made, they began utilizing mutation crystals as they paid people along the way for them to look for the information about Sarah’s family. But of course, they only paid part of it, and promised that whoever it was that was going to bring the information about that family, was going to receive the rest of the money.

Those people that received the mutation crystals of course did not have any idea of trying to run away with the money. After all, the three ladies were in the gold rank, while they on the other hand were only in the bronze rank. If the other party really wanted to deal with them, it was definitely going to be quite easy.

It might be true that they were within a military controlled territory, but nevertheless, that did not mean that it was completely lawful. In fact, if compared to the other territories, this was definitely the most terrible territory that possessed the least security for the members of the territory.

As long as a person possessed connections with those people living in the high areas of the territory, they would be able to do anything that they wanted. And those top echelons of the territory would completely ignore it as if they did not know that something was happening to the civilians of the territory.

...

At the same time, in the main territory building of the military territory, there was a meeting that was ongoing.

The structure of the main territory building of the military territory was quite different from that of Trista territory and the Domination Star territory. This main territory building was constructed in such a way that it possessed only a few floors, but all of them were extremely wide.

And currently, the meeting that was going on within the main territory building was happening on the second floor. This was where the conference room was located, where it accommodated all those that possessed the power levels of the gold rank and above.

The arrangement of this floor was quite different. There was a high place where those that possessed the highest combat power level were located. That included those that had already reached level 6 and above.

Then below them, there was a large group of people that had already reached the gold rank. This included the people that had already reached level 1 to level 5 of the gold rank.

But then again, above those that were already above level 5, there was yet another table which possessed only three seats. Those seats look extremely expensive as compared to the other seats that were occupied by those in the gold rank.

All those present within the room looked towards that particular table with respect clear in their eyes, with a hint of fear in them as well.

That was simply because on that table, that was where the leader of the military territory was supposed to be seated. That was where the main seat was located. And on both sides of the seat, there were two other seats that were currently occupied.

The most surprising thing about those two was the fact that they had already reached the diamond rank. Just the aura that was coming from the two of them was enough to be able to suppress the entire room, even those that had reached level 9 of the gold rank could only submit.

Just from the two of them, it was clear enough that the power that the military possessed was not to be underestimated. And then again, there was the leader of the territory that had not appeared at all.

According to what everybody believed, the leader of the military territory was definitely above level 1 of the diamond rank.
