Chapter 222 - Chapter 222: Chapter 212 "Mighty Angel (2/2)

“Don’t worry, Mommy will protect you no matter what happens. Mommy loves you and will surely keep you safe.”

In a manor within Fein City owned by the Lion clan, dozens of Extraordinary Exponents were gathering in the conference hall to discuss the war they were about to face.

The aged and weathered Viscount Bast sat in his chair, leaning on his cane, his eyes fixed on the map that was hung up.

“Byrne, what do you think about the Rhea army’s impending military operation?”

“What could their strategic objective be?”

Byrne stood to the side, nodding as he said,

“I believe they definitely want to take the whole of Fein, which would be like thrusting a knife into the thigh of the Cyart people. If it was just the four towns, it wouldn’t warrant the mobilization of tens of thousands from the Rhea army.”

Viscount Bast nodded slightly and said, “Based on the feedback from the big barrier, I know clearly that after they crossed the barrier, they made a beeline for Nasir Town.”

“Obviously, Fiera Town is of little significance, while Nasir Town is a prosperous port, so their first target is Nasir Town.”

He paused before continuing, “After that, it should be as you have said; they will likely strike at Fein City like lightning!”

“Hmm.”

Byrne seemed to merely nod calmly, but he was still very worried.

Although the townspeople of Nasir Town had fled in all directions, the town’s hospital, factories, schools—many things that the Fischer family had painstakingly built—might very well be doomed to destruction.

He continued with his analysis, “It will take their main force a long time to reach Fein, but it is likely that the Monarch powerful experts and the Transmutation powerful experts could act independently due to their completely different mobility.”

In war, it was undoubtedly common practice for the powerful experts of Transmutation and Monarch Level to operate independently, using their superior mobility to destroy the enemy’s key facilities first. This was something they had to consider.

Viscount Bast narrowed his eyes and said,

“Being one step ahead can change the situation and destiny. Our reinforcements haven’t arrived yet. Let’s pray that the enemy doesn’t have any highly mobile Monarch powerful experts; otherwise, Fein will soon be subjected to a tremendous test.”

Just then, good news arrived.

An officer walked in and reported to Viscount Bast,

“Report! The ‘Stars Mortal’ of the Dark Night Romann family, Ariel, has arrived. Also, the ‘Mighty Angel’ of the Wrathful Angel Jones family, Bern, has come!”

“That’s wonderful!”

“They’re finally here!”

Everyone was all smiles, especially upon hearing that the “Mighty Angel” had arrived, which significantly relieved their tension.

Viscount Bast smiled, and Byrne let out a big sigh of relief. The two Monarch powerful experts who came to support them had traveled quickly and arrived before the enemy did.

Without a Monarch powerful expert stationed here, even with a city-level strong barrier, it would be hard to withstand a sudden attack by several Monarch powerful experts.

The “Stars Mortal” of the Romann family, Ariel, was already an “old friend” of Byrne’s. She had previously tried to force the Fischer family to join her forces; she herself was a highly powerful Spellcaster of the Transmutation type.

And “Mighty Angel” Bern Jones was the family head of the Wrathful Angel Jones family.

The Wrathful Angel Jones family, the Wasteland Beast Frosac family, and the Romann family all had very good relations.

“Mighty Angel” Bern Jones, with his powerful demi-god Angel Bloodline and a formidable Forbidden rare artifact numbered in the triple digits, was nearly unbeatable within the range of low-level Monarch, despite being only at the Monarch low-level himself. He once boasted a superior battle record of repelling two low-level Monarch powerful experts single-handedly.

Soon, they met the two Monarch powerful experts who had come to their aid.

“Thanks to the Fischer family’s intelligence, hahahaha, I just happened to be nearby in the East Coast Province, so I came over immediately!”

“Mighty Angel” Bern Jones laughed heartily as he entered the room. He looked like a very cheerful middle-aged man with a hearty voice that did not quite match his handsome face.

That was a face that could be described as beautiful, with delicate features and eyes like shining gems.

It was said that he used to have a particularly rugged appearance and was known for being outgoing, but as his Angel Bloodline became more powerful, his appearance became more feminine.

Although no one in the history of the Wrathful Angel family had ever reached Heavenly Enlightenment, many speculated that if they ever did, their lineage might completely transform into a female body.

“Stars Mortal” Ariel walked in, giving Byrne an intense look, then calmly said,

“First, let’s make the intelligence clear. How many enemies can we expect? How many Monarch powerful experts?”

Viscount Bast took a deep breath and with a serious expression said, “Since you’ve asked, I’ll speak plainly. The attacking Rhea People number around twenty thousand and there are a total of three Monarch powerful experts.”

He had not mentioned the enemy’s formidable formation earlier, as he did not want to weaken the morale of his own side before the reinforcements arrived.

“Based on the feedback from the big barrier, there seem to be two low-level Monarch Extraordinary Exponents and one… a mid-level Monarch powerful expert!”

Sure enough, every person in the hall turned pale when they heard there was a mid-level Monarch adversary.

“Heh heh heh, this will be quite a challenge,” Bern said with a smile, showing no sign of fear.

Everyone except “Mighty Angel” Bern was tense, and Byrne could actually breathe a sigh of relief because the intelligence transmitted by Darren and the others was far too important.

At the start of the war, everything was a race against time.

If the Rhea Monarch powerful experts arrived before the reinforcements and, led by a mid-level Monarch powerful expert, they might break through the barrier with a blitzkrieg and capture Fein City, using it as a base to then restrain Cyart.

Then, the situation would be entirely different.

“They’re here!”

Viscount Bast suddenly widened his eyes and shouted toward the sky!
