Chapter 1368: Aetheria Empire Part 15
Divine World, Aetheria Empire
"Thanks for your cooperation, Vanguard Guild Captain." General Henry stood up and thanked Veronica for her assistance.
"You’re too polite, General Henry." Veronica smiled warmly. "The war is ongoing, and we must work together to confront these Colossuses to defend our ho."
"Indeed, our ho must never fall to those Colossuses. Their supremacy and desire to rule over everyone would simply bring ruin to our world."
[System Notification: General Henry has a favorable impression of you. Rapport status increased! You will be more likely to have your request granted amongst the soldiers in the Aetheria Empire!]
Upon seeing the increased rapport from the system notification, Veronica was inwardly pleased.
She didn’t spend so much ti discussing things with General Henry for naught.
"General Henry, the Vanguard Guild Leader, has returned." Right at this mont, Captain Norman arrived at the hall and reported the news.
"Vanguard Guild Leader?" Henry raised an eyebrow. "Was he hard?"
Although he received news that their Vanguard Guild Leader was safe and sound, he didn’t anticipate the latter to return this quickly. He thought it would have taken a few more hours to escape the pursuit of a Tier 4 Summoner.
"Bring him here imdiately." Henry urged, wanting to et this figure who managed to escape unscathed against a Tier 4 Summoner.
As for the possibility of Xu Feng turning rogue or selling their empire out, that indeed crossed his mind, but only for a brief second.
After all, the deed that the Vanguard Guild did during the Colossus first appearance had long been recorded in the docunt.
Not to ntion, each of the warhorses that contributed to the empire had effectively caused the Colossuses’ montum to be disrupted. Heavy casualties on the Colossuses side, alongside many strategic territories, were regained.
If Xu Feng was really a traitor, then these kinds of acts were way overboard to gain their trust.
Soti later, Xu Feng entered the main hall alongside Carn, Zhao Kai, and Evelyn.
"Greetings, General Henry." Xu Feng greeted him amiably without overdoing any formality.
In essence, he was now a Viscount, so he no longer needed to act overly courteous with General Henry. Otherwise, it could harm the latter as being arrogant to the point of slighting even a Viscount.
"Evening, Viscount Lin Feng." General Henry smiled, his eyes scrutinizing Xu Feng’s condition. ’Completely unscathed? Just how did he do it?’
It was hard for Henry not to beco suspicious at this mont. A Tier 4 Summoner was soone he would have trouble escaping from.
’Seems like I was right.’ Xu Feng thought to himself when he could sense General Henry’s silent probing of him.
"Should we have a private conversation, General Henry?" He promptly suggested. His body language indicated that there was so highly confidential information obtained.
Nodding, General Henry also wanted to speak privately with Xu Feng.
Although they were in the military headquarters, their current place could still be considered public, with too many eyes and ears around.
"Very well, let’s head to my main office." General Henry said, turned around, and proceeded to walk away.
As Henry exited the scene, Xu Feng turned to Veronica and gave her a series of instructions.
"I understand, Guild Leader." Veronica nodded.
She had already made ample preparation for such an unexpected crisis in the past. Therefore, she wasn’t shocked or helpless at this impromptu situation.
"Are you really alright, Guild Leader Lin Feng?" Evelyn finally approached him and asked in concern.
"Yes, Miss Evelyn. I’ve heard from the Guild Commander that you were constantly asking about my status. You need not be filled with guilt." Xu Feng politely responded.
Had it not been for Evelyn, Xu Feng wouldn’t have even known how much trouble was coming at him in this second major update.
In the past tiline, the second major update only involved a war between humans and Colossuses. But in this current tiline, soone from Hell had also intervened.
Now, this has beco problematic!
When did the Hell Gate open?
Or was there a crack or loop sowhere caused by the butterfly effect?
Xu Feng had no idea of it, but he knew that things were about to turn hectic for the collective players.
Soti later, Xu Feng calmly bid farewell to Evelyn as he made his way to the interior where Henry had gone off to.
"Wait a second, Guild Leader Lin Feng!" Evelyn called out, only to no avail.
After all, she was halted by Veronica, who calmly inquired what to do next for their supposed raid at the Oracle Grotto.
"Miss Evelyn, shall we discuss things in another spot? The Guild Leader has inford
about the plan and how it was spoiled because of this incident. Can we move to another place to discuss when to set up another ti for it, lest it might be too late once the Oracle Region becos restricted?"
Evelyn pursed her lips. She glanced at Xu Feng’s disappearing silhouette before sighing softly.
"Alright then, Guild Captain Vortex Viper." She turned to Veronica and agreed to the discussion.
As much as she wanted to converse further and learn more details on how he escaped unscathed from a fearso Tier 4 enemy, the matter regarding the Oracle Grotto could not be delayed either.
With that being said, the two proceeded to walk away, leaving Zhao Kai behind.
"What about ?" Zhao Kai glanced at the interior and then the outside.
How co he was dumped here alone?
Alas, his response was t with utter silence. Even a tiny breeze could be heard.
"Hah, I should probably find Lynette to soothe my wounded heart." He lowered his head and was about to log out, only to be interrupted.
"Apologies, Guild Commander Shadow Blade. The Guild Leader has ordered us to bring you back to grinding. If you can’t reach the level requirent to be promoted to Tier 2 by the end of this week, our bonus would be wiped out." Lightning Blade erged from behind without any sound and warned sternly.
