Chapter 438: The Target To Surpass (2/2)

After taking a sip of the drink, Liszt continued, “This type of undead creature usually attacked at night. Before the Bat Corps was exterminated, they could not ascertain how those Ghouls looked like despite having several skirmishes. The only thing they could confirm was that those Ghouls had strong arcane resistance and endurance. Also, their eyes would release snow-white glow at night.”

“Those Ghouls can exterminate an entire Corps? The Bat Corps in the Kingdom of Doa has a long history just like the Shadowfiend Corps, they also had great fighting strength!” Ayrin and Rinloan were shocked.

“The Bat Corps were exterminated?”

Meraly opened her eyes wide in disbelief.

As the most elite student in the Golden Academy, she knew better than anyone here what kind of existence the Bat Corps was.

It was a Corps that had a seven to one recruitment failure rate!

Only one in seven new recruits that passed through the preliminary test from the various academies in the Kingdom of Doa could stay in the Bat Corps after entering the army to become a Bat Corps arcane master!

Furthermore, the Bat Corps arcane masters wore an ancient metal-base armor that specialized in sudden assaults. The Bat Corps that was one of the three major Corps in the Southern part of the Kingdom of Doa was exterminated?

If Liszt did not personally relay this news, she would absolutely not believe it normally.

Liszt then continued, “The Southern part of the Kingdom of Doa is connected to the Northern part of our Kingdom of Eiche. Regardless of either Kingdom, many Corps were deployed within the Eternal Winter Forest to prevent infiltration from the other side. Now that the Bat Corps had been exterminated in that boundary zone, it may pose a great threat to our Kingdom of Eiche’s Northern side. Especially when the Bat Corps’s downfall did not cause any commotion in the Kingdom of Doa, as if nobody actually knew anything. This is definitely an abnormal event. It seems as if someone in the Kingdom of Doa is purposely hiding the truth and not letting the outside world know. Hence, we must investigate what exactly happened in the Eternal Winter Forest.”

An important Corps’s downfall did not cause any commotion in the Kingdom of Doa, and not many people even knew at all? Could it be that something serious happened in the Kingdom of Doa and the outside world did not know?

Ayrin and Rinloran could not help but look at each other. They both had a bad feeling about it.

“I will go to the Eternal Winter Forest.” At that moment, Belo suddenly spoke with conviction.

There seemed to be a strange blood thirst dwelling in his eyes.

“You, Moss, Chris and your retainers should form a team.” Liszt’s eyes also showed a mysterious glint, “Ayrin, Rinloran, Ferguillo, Stingham and Meraly form a team.”

“This is obviously an imbalance of strength.” Stingham took a glance at Meraly and mumbled, “You should let this flat-chest girl join Belo’s team.”

“I’m not voicing my objection, yet you’re objecting? Do you believe that if you call me flat-chest again, I will kill you!” Meraly’s expression instantly became more menacing than the evil witches drawn in books.

“You can’t beat me anyway.” Stingham pouted, “You were also running away from me in nude.”

“You......” Meraly jumped up in fury. She unsheathed her Golden Holy Sword and was about to get back at Stingham.

“It’s nicked.” Stingham reminded Meraly about the nicked Golden holy Sword.

Meraly almost passed out from anger.

“Teacher Liszt, what about that House Baratheon, we don’t need to care about them now?” Ayrin asked with worry, “What if they come to fight House Eclipse Moon?”

“The downfall of the Maelstrom Team caused their strength to fall greatly. Many major Houses are putting pressure on them. They won’t be able to get free for a while. Though, in order to prevent any major change in situation, we will stay in the Kingdom of Eiche and monitor.” Liszt threw a map to Ayrin and Belo each, “After the two teams reach the location marked on the map, there will be a contact at the site.”

“Contact? Teacher Liszt, there is only location on the map, but no description of the contact.” Ayrin took a glance at the map and asked.

“Don’t worry. Your contact is someone you’re familiar with, you will naturally understand once you see them.”

“Familiar? Who are they?”

“It’s a secret for now. Won’t you hold more expectations like that?”

“......”

The Holy Dawn bunch were speechless.

“Teacher Liszt, should we leave now?” Ayrin looked in a hurry, “Jean Camus might be in great danger.”

“Sure.” Liszt’s gaze fell onto Ayrin and the rest again.

“Your strength allows you to handle most of the elite arcane teams. However, remember one thing, if you encounter Evil Dragon Bishop level enemy and do not gain an upper hand from the start, you better run immediately...... You still need more time and training to be able to handle opponents on that level.”

“Yes!”

Ayrin nodded with force.

His fist tightened even more.

“Jean Camus...... We are coming to the Kingdom of Doa soon, you better stay alive!”

He turned towards the direction of the Kingdom of Doa with burning eyes and shouted in his heart, “Before I surpass...... beat you, you better not die!”
