Chapter 192 - Chapter 192: Chapter 184 3rd Rank "Hand of Judgement (2/2)
The warm glow of sunlight lasted for several seconds, as if capable of melting the ice in one’s heart, then vanished without a trace.
Everyone, however, felt a deep sense of comfort and warmth from within, and they were certain that tonight they would have a good sleep.
“What a waste, you are…” Byrne shook his head, a bit speechless, but Chris paid no attention to his opinion.
Suddenly, he began to understand why the “Solar Gold” in the Alchemy Council was nicknamed “Solar Gold.”
Wasn’t that man’s power a moving gold mine in the Aphotic Sea?
“Hmm, is his identity the wealthiest Sun Bishop in Lorne?”
Thus, the Fischer fleet set sail, departing from the port of Nasir Town, heading for the sunless Aphotic Sea.
——
Within Rhea’s borders, where fertile fields and lush forests had once surrounded the village, it was now in ruins, and decaying bodies lay on the ground, while the elderly and children waited for death in a daze.
A detachment of the Cyart Royal Army was stationed in this village, and in a few days, they would converge with the main force. Darren was the commander of this detachment.
The Rhean village near the border had been plundered in turns by both Rheans and Cyart People. All young women had been abducted, most adult men had died in battle, and only a significant number of the weak and sick were struggling to survive.
A number of the Cyart army actually included accompanying slave traders.
Although Cyart as a whole was no longer a slave society, their treatment of foreign slaves still turned a blind eye, and nobody really cared about such matters.
Anyway, no Cyart person would dare to speak a word on behalf of the Rheans.
Cyart’s internal cohesion was weak, and regional powers were strong, whereas the situation in Rhea was even more ancient and barbaric, still basically in the era of feudal lords.
Therefore, they felt no internal pressure when plundering the lands of other lords.
Within an ordinary household, Colonel Abel’s staff officer was explaining the current situation to Darren Fischer while holding a map and pointing to several spots, seriously saying:
“In a few days, we will converge with Colonel Abel’s infantry corps, and then head to this location, the local lord of that town is a vassal of the Meyer family. The lord is a high-level Transmutation powerhouse capable of wielding the power of lightning.”
“However, our main force also has three high-level Transmutations, from the Romann and Frosac families, and our overall military strength is also superior to the enemy. With appropriate tactics, we can capture that town.”
Darren frowned slightly, nodding lightly.
The plan was indeed so, but plans can never keep up with changes.
He suddenly asked, “By the way, what about those people I asked for?”
The staff officer thought for a moment and then said, “Well, they are kept in the next room over.”
Darren immediately went to the next room and saw the trembling Rhean soldiers who had been captured; they were the ones who had ambushed and killed two Cyart soldiers he knew and then got caught by him personally.
He calmly took out a dagger, his expression cruel and his tone cold as he said:
“Don’t be nervous, I just want to do an experiment, and I need your cooperation. Hmm, as long as you don’t die by the end, I will let you go, do you agree?”
The several Rhean soldiers shook their heads, desperately disagreeing, but their disagreement was futile.
“Good! I can feel your negative emotions now, excellent! Let’s see if I can acquire more!”
Darren was pleasantly surprised to find that he had indeed mastered the Power of Consecution more deeply. Just as he was about to wave the dagger to amplify the negative emotional feedback, he suddenly heard a loud bang from outside!
“Damn it, what’s going on?”
He rushed outside and saw that the entire village was engulfed in raging flames! There were screams of horror and wailing everywhere!
“Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Officer Darren, hurry, organize a resistance!”
The orderly officer ran over, shouting, and soon Darren saw a middle-aged military man with red hair like blazing flames, wearing a white uniform, surprisingly standing amidst the flames in the sky.
He descended from the sky with flames, and the flowing fire instantly swallowed the body of the orderly officer.
The red-haired man looked like he wanted to wave his hand and kill Darren as well, but he suddenly stared at the young man in front of him.
“Are you from the Fischer family?”
He had been recognized. That was bad, but maybe it meant he could survive. Darren’s face changed over and over, his body trembling slightly.
He knew two important things: the first was that the other person was a high-level Transmutation powerhouse, and he had no chance of resisting.
The second thing was what that fiery red hair represented!
His father had mentioned that red hair among the Rhea People was almost a synonym for the Meyer family, and that top-tier family with the bloodline of the powerful Fire Demon God “Adranus” was the greatest enemy of the Fischer family!
