290 The Outbreak of War 2 (2/2)

***************

General Veron’s Third Battalion, Wiped Out.

Through the blue messenger birds, the news spread to hundreds of countries throughout the East Continent.

At the same instant, newspapers all over the world reported the news of unknown creatures attacking human cities. But soon, people would gradually not be able to purchase these papers..

The blue messenger birds started constantly falling from the sky. Other than the unihorn lizards, there were various flying creatures who occupying the sky, which was the channel of communication between cities.

Iron Tank City

War Guild Mission Hall

As Garen stepped into the hall, he saw injured people all over the hall. Some of them had even lost their limbs. They pale faces indicated severe loss of blood.

”Garen, how are you unscathed?” A strong man with a single sheepy eye stood up astonishingly. ”Right. You are considered one of the strongest in the first form mission hall.” He immediately took a seat.

”Thomas? Aren’t you alright as well?” Garen walked over and sat in front of the man. ”The situation seems dire.” He asked as he scanned the area around him.

”It’s tough out there. Bounty is growing daily but nobody dares to accept jobs. The monsters are everywhere.” One-eyed thomas whispered.

At this time, from the reception room of the main hall, walked out a squad of brown-robed men and women. The leader was burly man with short hair. There was a blood-reddish scar on his right cheek, looking like a savage.

The man held a silver helmet in his arms, quickly scanning through the rest of the people in the hall.

A white-haired elderly man holding a red staff followed behind. Closely after them were two perfect-figured women in black robes.

”It’s the Galileo Squad. They should be taking up the two toughest missions.” One-eyed Thomas stared at the party as he whispered to Garen.

He wasn’t the only one. Everyone in the hall fixated their eyes on this party.

Garen was familiar with the Galileo Squad. Its leader, Galileo, was an elite second form totem users, while all the members were second form totem users. They even had a totem smith in their squad. With this elite line-up, they completed several challenging missions, gaining fame in Iron Tank City.

There were there strong squads in Iron Tank City which frequented the war guild for years. Only the ace of the Galileo Squad was a second form totem user, while the leaders of the other two squads had third form ultimate totems under their command.

The Galileo Squad left the hall, quickly disappearing on the path outside the door.

Garen retrieved his gaze, listening to Thomas' gentle words of adoration.

”If only I could be as strong as the Galileo Squad.”

”You should forget it. Their most basic prerequisite is to have two second form totems.” A bald, plump man laughed.

Garen and Thomas chatted for a moment. He was waiting for someone. After sending his female neighbour into the city, he directly headed here to check out the situation.

The situation was indeed dire. The war guild must have given up a fair bit to incentify the top squads.

The first form mission hall was the most crowded area for a small town like the Iron Tank City. For the second form and third form halls, it was just furnishings. As a place where only a select elite could enter, there were simply no exchanges going on.

Soon, their shift ended. Garen stood up and walked towards the mission counter. He took out the previously completed mission list and handed it in.

”Completed once again? That fast?” The guy receiving the list was a sinister looking middle-aged man. He and Garen were familiar with each other as the last few mission lists were distributed by him.

”Bounties should have multiplied by a few fold recently, isn’t it?” Garen asked softly.

”You are smart.” The middle-aged man nodded. ”All of them have multiplied, you are just in time. Also, the governor’s mansion has just released a large batch of inactive totems. Would you like to have a look?” He spoke softly, with a sense of allurement in his voice. ”There seems to a fair amount of decent core totems.”

”Is it specially distributed?” Garen raised his brow.

”Of course, besides us, the war guild, where else can you find such elite firepower? If we do not provide support, wouldn’t we be just waiting for doom?”The middle-aged man answered surely.

”Is there a white dragonhawk?”

”Certainly. Although it is powerful, it’s not cheap to train it.”

”Show me the list.”

Garen’s heart skipped a beat. Although the white dragonhawk is strong, it also means it has been researched thoroughly, with many strategies to counter it.

He was different from other totem users. With the existence of potential points, he could rely on them for direct evolution, although the probability wasn’t high. He could choose a less-researched, foundationally strong new totem as his final card.

Once the evolution succeeded, as no one would be familiar with the power of this new totem, it definitely would have a remarkable impact.
