The energy fluctuation was truly akin to a force capable of destroying heaven and earth. Even the leader of the Infiltrators, a head of a legion from a small nation, felt a bone-chilling cold just by witnessing it.
And now, upon seeing the [Alchemy Furnace] that bore a thirty percent resemblance to the external technology of the Elental Furnace from back then, his first reaction was shock.
The second reaction was a torrent of curses.
What was he cursing?
Obviously, it wasn't Kael who sent him on this mission.
He was cursing the foolish high-ranking officials of the Orean Independent Kingdom.
Such a terrifying Energy Source was in their possession, yet they hadn't utilized it in any way. If Shadow Country had possessed such an Energy Source back then, they would not have been so restrained as they were afterwards.
They didn't even know how to open the [Wall of Sighs], and they just allowed the main structure of the [Elental Furnace] to stand upon the ground.
If those chosen ones of the Holy Briania Crusaders had seen the Elental Furnace in such a defensive stance, they would surely be laughing to no end.
If this isn't a waste, then what is it?
"Congratulations, it seems the progress is going quite well." The Infiltrator leader frowned slightly upon hearing the voice and tightened his grip on the Shadow Dagger, nearly launching an imdiate attack.
Then he quickly realized sothing was off and his expression relaxed a bit.
"Miss Hassaka, don't suddenly appear behind an Infiltrator like that; it's very likely to trigger a reflex reaction from us."
"Shouldn't you be reflecting on why it was so easy for to appear behind you?"
Hassaka's figure slowly erged from the dark corner, her eyes flickering with a ghostly blue light, clad in a pitch-black sli trench coat:
"This operation is not just your Infiltrator legion's action. The sisters of the Shadow Garden have long been lurking here, waiting for the right mont to act."
"Let's leave here. It's unwise to linger in the Orean Royal Capital. We'll talk as we go."
"Alright."
Out of Kael's protection, Hassaka now seed to finally have a leader's deanor. In a blink, the two swiftly rendezvoused with the Infiltrator legion and the maids of the Shadow Garden.
"So, what's the situation now?"
The Infiltrator leader suddenly found himself confused about the state of affairs.
"How could such a level of mission possibly be left to your Infiltrator legion to execute alone? Wouldn't that be sending you to your deaths?
The Shadow Garden is the backup force ensuring that the mission can continue and be completed. It's also a consideration that if you end up surrounded, we can help ease so pressure from the enemy.
Of course, if you want to interpret it as us having to supervise you to a certain degree, that's also no problem."
"No, no, no, this ti you've really been a great help. The Orean Independent Kingdom does have sothing to offer. I've already gathered so relevant information from my subordinates. Really, thank you for your support."
The Infiltrator leader was sowhat moved for a mont.
Though he knew that such behavior was normal for forces under the sa Lord to support each other in the future,
the Infiltrator leader couldn't forget how, during the multi-national alliance's battles, their Shadow Country Infiltrator legion was treated as cheap expendable pawns.
Do you think the Infiltrator leader had no thoughts about that back then?
What a joke, of course, he had thoughts! He wished he could have killed the horses of those chosen ones who made the decisions!
Oh no, those ordering chosen ones already dedicated everything to the so-called gods, and they didn't have horses!
Now, suddenly feeling the joy of support from Lancaster...
He didn't know why, but he felt a bit of a sour ache in his heart for a mont.
If... if during the battles of the multi-national alliance, they had treated the Shadow Country Infiltrator legion like this, perhaps more of his compatriots could have survived!
Now, the enemies that had turned themselves into prisoners of war had granted them freedom and power and were generous with their support, contrasting starkly with those forrly called allies in the Holy Briania...
Who exactly is the ally, and who is the enemy?
For a mont, he couldn't distinguish clearly.
However, he didn't have the luxury of ti to ponder. Every minute wasted put his compatriots' lives on the line.
This was sothing the Infiltrator leader absolutely could not allow to happen.
Very quickly, as the relevant orders were swiftly transmitted within the Infiltrator legion, more and more Infiltrators began closing ranks.
Under the moonlight, faint silhouettes could be seen traversing the skies of the city, swiftly converging like a torrent.
"Don't linger; leave imdiately after rendezvous." Each small Shadow Clan team that encountered the Infiltrator leader received the sa response as they collided with him.
The mighty Shadow Country legion inevitably drew the attention of many in the Royal Capital during that night.
After all, neither the Shadow Clan nor the maids from the Shadow Garden had any intention of hiding. Their task was to leave this place as quickly as possible.
"We've reached the city gate..." In just a few short minutes, the Shadow Clan, greatly speed-enhanced under the moonlight, had completed their rendezvous with the more highly leveled Combat Maids.
