”Let's lock this stupid teacher up first,” Saks slowly lifted his hand to signal a few Mages with the Psychic Element and Shadow Element.
They heard some rapid footsteps coming their way. A man in a sandy white uniform came up to Saks and Gangma.
”Major General, three intruders have snuck into the city from the south. They were spotted heading toward here!” the man reported.
”Just in time! I'll pay him back a hundred times the pain I suffered! Felton, summon my elite troops here!” Gangma ordered.
”Major General Gangma, your elite troops have gone to battle. The majority of the army has gone to the front line, too. They aren't many people left in the central base,” the man answered. ”The Khafre Mummies are here, but the light of the Tower is still on cooldown. We can't allow the undead to set even half a foot into the safe zone! Even the Commander-in-chief has gone to the front line. He's the main commander of the battle, and he asked you to settle matters as soon as possible. Otherwise, he won't go easy on you, either!” the man added.
”Damn it, damn it!” Major General Gangma yelled and waved his fists around like an enraged gorilla.
If his superior was the commander of the battle, he, as the commander's subordinate, could easily make some contributions at the front line. He would have a great chance of being promoted to full general and beating out his rivals. Unfortunately, he had lost the chance because he was held hostage by Mo Fan. He had waited a long time for this great opportunity!
”I won't forgive that assh***!” Gangma's eyes were burning with rage.
”We didn't have enough men. Those young Mages are pretty strong, especially the Fire Mage,” Saks said. Saks was intimidated by Mo Fan, even though he was a Super Mage!
”Humph, it doesn't matter if we are short on men, we don't necessarily have to face them ourselves.” Gangma was a weird man. He suddenly put on a dark expression, even though he was throwing a tantrum just a moment ago.
Saks was confused. If they did not have enough men, they might not stand a chance against their enemies. The soldiers of other factions would not be willing to lend them a hand, either!
Gangma went over to Mentor Vani, and patted him on the shoulder with a calm smile.
”Major General Gangma, isn't it time to let my students go? I promise we'll forget everything that happened in Egypt,” Vani swore. He desperately wanted to leave this place!
”I've already escorted you back as you requested, and you also promised me...” Vani said.
”Yes, I did give you my promise, but you must take into consideration our situation, too. If those three end up causing serious trouble, my superior is going to blame it on me! I'm a major general, so you can easily guess what rank my superior is if he can damn me with a single word!” Gangma murmured.
”I'm not with them. Major General Gangma, just let us go, we won't say a word, and we have nothing to do with them, either. We won't care what you do to them, so please let my students go,” Mentor Vani repeated.
”I believe so too… how about this. If you really mean it, help me catch the other three. I trust the European University Institute. After all, you brought me back here, but the others, I don't think they are down for a nice little chat, so I'm afraid we can't afford to go easy on them,” Gangma said.
”We really have nothing to do with them, but...” Vani replied with a troubled face.
”Then help us take them down. Don't worry, we'll deal with them afterward. The European University Institute will have nothing to do with it. As long as you help us catch those three, I can swear an oath with the Curse Element that I'll guarantee you and your students will all leave Egypt safely!” Vani said.
”Mr. Vani, those guys are the reason we are in this mess. I've wanted to teach them a lesson!” Galba was quick to respond.
”Major General Gangma, the whole thing was a misunderstanding. We never wanted to provoke your army. Those guys, and this guy over here, have nothing to do with us!” Ferrero pointed at Zhao Manyan.
Zhao Manyan cursed at Ferrero for betraying him, ”Screw you!”
”Oh?” Gangma raised his brows. He stared at Zhao Manyan with a weird grin, ”So, he's with the other three?”
”Ferrero!” Zoey glared at Ferrero.
Ferrero realized what he had done, but when he thought about the trouble that these people had brought them, and how his life was still in danger, he clenched his teeth and continued, ”Yes, this guy is with them. They were the ones that suggested we look for the Tear of Medusa.”
”Very well, HAHAHA!” Gangma burst out laughing.
What a surprise, Gangma initially thought they were all from the European University Institute!...
”Lock him up in a different cell, and break all his bones!” Gangma pointed at Zhao Manyan and said, ”Do you have any idea how your friends treated me?”
”You are still in pretty good shape,” Zhao Manyan noticed.
”Don't worry, I'll make sure you look that way, too!” Gangma smiled.
A few soldiers dragged Zhao Manyan away and locked him up in another cell. They soon heard him being tied up with chains of ice.
