Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high! Chapter 751: 553 The True Camp2
"This is good, isn't it?"
"Of course it's good! But for the city..."
It's a completely different angle.
The district generals had secretly contacted the Spiritual Power Managers Center and the Arbitration Place, spiritual energy practitioners had gathered illegally and acted on their own, and there had been a large-scale loss of personnel...
Each and every incident was a provocation to those high-ranking officials who saw the city only as their source of wealth.
What specific benefits did this operation bring to the city?
An unexpected assault on the higher-dinsional space, a blessing for the descendants and even the world?
What does that have to do with Blackwater City?
With the power to strike at higher-dinsional spaces, defending Blackwater City would be just as impenetrable; there would be no need to venture into the higher-dinsional space for distant battles, resulting in the needless deaths and injuries of so many frontline elite enforcers.
Furthermore, the loss of many enforcers and reserved spiritual energy talents ant the city would be left in a passive position when guarding against demons.
The demons that were killed weakened the entire world, yet the enforcers who died were essentially depleting Blackwater City's own strength.
A truly intense argunt erupted in the city's parliantary chamber at midnight.
There was no appeaser in this debate, no muddying the waters, nor was there any room for fence-sitters.
It was one or the other!
One side, centered around the Spiritual Power Managers Center and the Heretic Arbitrators, insisted that the operation was necessary and a trendous achievent.
It held extrely important significance for the future of all humankind.
There were also many enlightened individuals who harbored concern for the grand cause of humanity; setting aside their own affiliations, they joined this camp.
But procedural errors still resulted in severe punishnt for the core individuals involved in the incident.
Franca was stripped of all her actions rights and ordered to stay ho and reflect, forbidden to leave for three years.
Bai E was not allowed to enter the city unless on official orders and was henceforth only responsible for internal military affairs.
Morphie and Kiro Lan were confined for harsh ditation, cut off from all contact with the outside world.
Beyond the main leaders involved in the operation, all related personnel received so degree of punishnt.
Even several high-level officials from the Spiritual Power Managers Center such as Aglaya, as well as the Judgnt Chief of the Heretical Arbitration House, Nolanitz, and the Chief Instructor, received warnings for reasons such as "poor oversight" and "lax discipline."
Once everything had settled and everyone was about to be escorted away, Franca, sitting in her seat, turned her head towards Bai E not far away and whispered through spiritual energy, "Any regrets?"
Bai E, with an expressionless face, swept his gaze over the dispersing parliant and replied calmly, "Regrets about what?"
"Regrets about the operation?"
She could see that Bai E had certain ambitions.
However, because of this reckless operation, he had lost all the privileges he had fought for, and had even attracted quite a lot of special attention.
The many "previous offenses" he now carried on his back were of course very inconvenient for his future actions.
"Not at all," Bai E said, smiling slightly and shaking his head. "In fact, it couldn't be better..."
If not for such a matter of great right and wrong, how could he have clearly seen the true face of every person in the city?
So people always tried to get along with everyone and always wore the mask of a smile, but inside they were selfish scoundrels living only for themselves.
So people were always very wary of him because of his artificial human origin, yet in their hearts they aspired for a true human future.
Without this incident, how could he have clearly seen the nature of each person beneath the many masks they wore?
It could be said that before this, each and every seemingly rule-breaking action of Bai E's had never been able to provoke such an absolute ideological dispute.
He secretly noted every na and corresponding figure that had firmly opposed the operation, dismissing all of its aning.
When the ti for reckoning cos, he would start with them!
And from this mont onwards, the hearts of the people of the city... beca clear!
...
Bai E, escorted all the way back to the barracks, saw the military commanders of the district already waiting.
As their gazes t, a mont of silence ensued.
In the midst of cheers led by Hamilton and Carlos with a chorus of "General Bai E is aweso," everyone escorted Bai E back amid a raucous celebration to the military district.
"The General is truly badass! To think he could attack the demons' stronghold with just a handful of n!"
"Yeah, totally! General, when can you lead us to the bugs' hostead?"
Besides demons, the greatest threat in this world is the insects.
Bai E had demonstrated terrifying strength on both fronts, especially during the recent expedition into high-dinsional space.
In the unanimous narrative of the so-called expeditionary forces, it was General Bai, sword in hand, who had slaughtered his way through the entire Eternal Garden!
The carnage was such that high dinsions altered their hues, and great demons were annihilated.
It was said that the entire high-dinsional space feared this god of slaughter so much that they stirred up an unquenchable storm to sever their path of return.
Yet unbeknownst to them, the General had made arrangents long before; the once-persuaded spawn of demons had now beco the heroic guide leading the army back ho.
Fighting demons might be a fool's errand, but surely battling bugs couldn't be the sa, right?
If General Bai could lead their military district to utterly defeat the entire insect nest, wouldn't the shared glory have everyone in the district strutting around?
"That calls for serious training!" Bai E laughed as he addressed the fervent generals, "Our soldiers can no longer be re disposable pawns; in the next assault on the insect nest, I demand an absolute crushing victory!"
"Under the Great General's leadership, we will definitely crush them completely!"
"We'll follow the Great General's commands to the letter, with his will as our guide!"
Bai E, sitting among the crowd, knew this was the first ti these proud generals had completely revealed their loyalty.
As he had expected, this incident had probed many hidden sentints.
"By the way, Great General, the Elves visited before your return. Their Prophet wished to speak with you, apparently having heard about your high-dinsional expedition and desiring to consult you on matters of high-dinsional space. Are you available?"
'Prophet?'
Bai E was montarily taken aback, "Are they still here?"
After establishing diplomatic relations, the Elf Delegation hadn't left the city, but obviously, they couldn't stay in the military district.
Even though Bai E had been confined, beings like Elves were not governed by the city's laws.
And the pretext for their visit was entirely justifiable—they ca and went as they pleased.
"They are waiting for you."
Bai E imdiately stood up, "Take there."
...
In the drawing room, two delicate silhouettes waited quietly.
The voice of the guard at the door let them know instantly who had arrived.
In truth, they had already sensed that familiar presence from even further away as it approached.
"General Bai."
"Prophet, Miss Yueying."
After a brief greeting, the guard at the door shut it of his own accord.
"May I ask what gains you made on your journey, General Bai?" the air spirit inquired candidly after lifting her white hood, her voice gentle.
This was Bai E's first ti seeing the true face of the Prophetess of the Elf Race.
Just like the first ti he saw Yueying, the Prophetess's delicate and otherworldly beauty caused Bai E to be montarily lost in thought. Her translucent skin seed to ripple with a soft white glow, and she exuded a holy and serene aura.
But looking at her face, why did she look sowhat similar to Yueying?
Especially when Yueying, wearing a black robe, took off her black hood and revealed her unmasked face, two extrely similar faces appeared before Bai E at once.
The only difference was that the air spirit's features were slightly more mature, exuding a sense of wisdom.
Perhaps noticing the hint of confusion on Bai E's face, the air spirit explained with a smile, "As you see, we are sisters."
"..."
Bai E nodded in understanding, his gaze shifting to Yueying, who remained silent beside her. Without wasting words, he began to discuss the matter at hand, "If we're talking about gains, there's no doubt—the expedition has confird so speculations that were previously uncertain..."
