Chapter 1374: Chapter 1372 Blood Moon (14)
The nesis of the Kingdom of Invia— the Blackbeard Pirate Group organized a Blood Moon Night assault on the Land City police station.
This was the result of the investigation by the Night Watchman and the General Police Bureau.
The reason the pirates attacked the police station might be retaliation for the Invia Royal Navy destroying a Blackbeard flotilla last month.
Under the cover of underground forces in Lande City, they infiltrated different areas of the Lower City District, launching a sudden attack on the Blood Moon Night, creating this major incident.
After succeeding, the pirates also retreated through the sewers!
This investigation result enraged the upper echelons of Lande City, the governor himself issued an order, demanding the General Police Bureau to eradicate the underground forces colluding with the pirates.
Of course, this chief officer of Lande also knew that relying solely on the police force, eradicating the dark forces entrenched in the sewers was completely unrealistic.
Hence, the Night Watch Brigade was assigned to assist in this operation.
To say it’s assistance, in reality, the Night Watchn would certainly be the main force!
Abert Austin would also participate.
Ronan couldn’t help but ask, “Captain Abert, why do you want to participate in the operation?”
This level of action was extrely high, and Ronan, as a newly promoted senior officer, wasn’t a Transcendent or a police elite, so he wasn’t qualified to participate!
At his level, if it weren’t personally conveyed by Abert Austin, he wouldn’t even know about it!
“You are the most talented Transcendent among the young people I have seen!”
Abert Austin answered without hesitation, “Unfortunately, your family background delayed your growth, but fortunately, it’s not too late, I want to give you a chance.”
Ronan himself was the illegitimate son of a minor noble manor lord, sent to a private school at the age of sixteen, which was the only resource he got from his family.
Before, he struggled just to satisfy his basic needs, let alone awaken his potential and talents.
In fact, Ronan was a person with latent talent!
Many talents like him have been buried throughout the ages.
But what Abert Austin saw in Ronan was a change in the core, a stronger presence!
The Night Watchman captain felt a fondness for nurturing talent.
Due to his status, he couldn’t take Ronan as a Disciple and teach Transcendent arts like the Demon Hunting n.
So Abert Austin planned to give Ronan a chance to earn rit.
“After this operation is over, I’ll apply for permission to teach you the Steel Armor Breathing Technique.”
The Night Watchman captain said sincerely, “As long as you break through your limits, you can beco one of us Night Watchn!”
The Steel Armor Breathing Technique is a top-tier technique for breaking limits, one of the secret weapons of the Kingdom of Invia’s Night Watch Brigade, which Ronan wouldn’t have a chance to learn under normal circumstances.
But with rit, plus Abert Austin’s recomndation and guarantee, there would be a chance to beco one of the Transcendents!
However, faced with the temptation of top-tier techniques, Ronan hesitated for a mont.
Abert Austin’s Perception was very keen, and he imdiately raised an eyebrow, “What? You don’t want to join our Night Watch Brigade?”
Ronan smiled wryly, “I quite like my current life.”
Although the identity of a Night Watchman is prestigious, it also cos with significant restrictions, and after joining the Night Watch Brigade, he would inevitably lose a lot of freedom.
This was not what Ronan wanted.
Even though he desired to obtain the technique for breaking limits!
In response to Ronan’s polite refusal, Abert Austin not only didn’t get angry but also showed a aningful smile, “No worries, you can decide for yourself whether to join the Night Watch Brigade, I’m not forcing you.”
Ronan was a bit baffled— was this really okay?
Although quite puzzled inside, Ronan didn’t feel any malice from the Night Watchman captain in front of him.
The other party seed genuinely wanting to push him upward!
Ronan sincerely expressed his thanks: “Thank you.”
“No need to be polite.”
Abert Austin waved his hand and said, “Get ready, the operation starts at five in the morning tomorrow, and don’t tell anyone about this before then.”
“All the weapons, equipnt, and identity qualifications have been prepared for you!”
He genuinely didn’t mind Ronan’s refusal.
Because the Night Watchman captain believed that Ronan would eventually end up joining the Night Watchn.
The reason for Abert Austin’s confidence was that he was very clear the Blackbeard Pirate Group would never spare Ronan, who was hailed as a young hero by the Lande General Police Bureau!
At that point, Ronan would have no choice.
The next morning, just as dawn broke, Ronan arrived punctually at the central square of the Lower City District.
Beside the Lower City Cathedral, rows of fully ard n in grey robes stood.
After eting with Abert Austin, the Night Watchman captain provided Ronan with a set of equipnt.
Since Ronan was not a Transcendent, Abert Austin equipped him with a bulletproof helt, breathing mask, combat suit, boots, gloves, and so on.
There was also a shotgun for close-range combat and two revolvers, along with matching ammunition!
Once Ronan was fully equipped, the Night Watchman opened the manhole cover leading to the sewers.
Teams filed in one after another.
Beneath Lande City was completely another world.
This world was composed of sewage tunnels wide enough to accommodate people coming and going, interconnected, intricately and complexly forming an enormous labyrinth.
Many of these tunnels were dug by the underground forces entrenched in this labyrinth.
Those living underground included beggars and wanderers, bankrupt small businessn and residents, wanted criminals, or gang mbers doing illegal work.
Mixed among them were pirate scouts, gang operatives, etc., with extrely complex components.
No one could say how many shady “rats” lived beneath Lande City, but this underground labyrinth had long been a cancer of this port city.
The upper echelons of Lande City had tried to eradicate this cancer, but despite huge investnts of manpower and resources, they couldn’t clean it out entirely.
Those underground force mbers who were eliminated would always be replaced by new ones, endlessly.
After many eradications, the upper echelons of Lande City reached a kind of understanding with the underground forces.
However, this ti, the Blackbeard Pirates’ collusion with underground forces and the attack on the Lower City District police station broke this understanding.
They would also face rciless retribution!
The battle started the mont the Night Watch Brigade entered the sewers.
The enemies ca from all directions, utilizing the complex sewer system to assault and harass the Night Watch Brigade.
As a mber of the Night Watch brigade, Ronan witnessed the scene of Transcendents massacring their opponents!
