Chapter 489 Anur (1/2)
As the mercenaries who had stayed behind saw the returning Nagakin and the others, they hurriedly landed, and both parties met up. The hundred or so mercenaries who had gone out to rescue Alvin then heard those few mercenaries excitedly describing what had happened.
Apart from Herlous and those from the Black Star Mercenary Group, looks of disbelief could be seen on the others. Black Star was actually able to fight a Calamity Grade Super evenly and had even severely injured his opponent. This was completely different from what they had expected!
Everyone was shocked into silence.
Even Herlous was in a slight daze. ”Is he so powerful?”
Nagakin was immediately overjoyed. He had not felt confident, and never had he imagined that Black Star would be such a reliable ally.
At that moment, Nagakin received a message. Han Xiao asked them to dig out all the machines buried under the rubble before meeting up with them at another place. He also reminded them not to attract too much attention.
Nagakin turned around and realized that more and more people were gathering over to watch the show. The Public Security Squad and construction team were also rushing over. Too many regions of Noriosse had been damaged by battles recently, and the Noriosse Financial Group was probably extremely frustrated. Nagakin did not wish to be tied down by them and hurriedly instructed everybody to quickly dig up all the machines before they escaped.
After waiting for a while, Han Xiao arrived.
The hired mercenaries looked at Han Xiao with more respect in their eyes and made way to let him in.
Walking over to the middle of the crowd, Han Xiao slapped Herlous on the shoulders and said with a smile, ”Ember was injured by me, and he is definitely suffering a headache right now.”
Herlous was stunned for a while, and he stroked his mechanical arm. Every time that he thought about Ember, the nerve connection to his mechanical arm would begin to ache dully. Hearing that, Herlous broke out in a wide smile and felt his anger vented.
”Good brother, fantastic!”
After chatting casually for a while, Han Xiao collected all the recovered machines back into their compressed orbs. After counting all of his machinery carefully, Han Xiao concluded that he lost about thirty machines, and many of his machines had dropped in quality. Apart from injuring Ember, he did not receive any material gains. The biggest gain would be completing their mission objective and saving Alvin's final doppelganger.
”We meet again, friends.” Alvin greeted everyone. His complexion was pale, and his lips white. It was obvious that he was not very healthy.
”Seeing a mixed blood Godoran again, nothing good will happen for sure.” Han Xiao shook his head. ”Where is the Grade A Super who helped?”
”He left.”
”Leaving without leaving his name behind, he is probably a Superhero.”
Han Xiao did not find the matter strange. The more powerful someone was, the greater their responsibilities. At the very least, there were some who still adhered to such principles. Superheroes were a common occurrence, and there were many powerhouses who did not mind playing the role of a hero occasionally.
After saving their target, Han Xiao and the others began discussing their next move.
”If DarkStar want to have any progress, they only have two choices. First, search for Alvin's main body, which will be like finding a needle in a haystack. Second, snatch his final doppelganger from us. Thus, we have the initiative, and DarkStar is on the passive side. They will be anxious. Nagakin, how much longer will it take for your reinforcements to arrive?”
”The War Bureau sent the fleet nearest to us, but even if they make use of the stargate, they will take twelve days at least.”
”DarkStar won't ignore the incoming reinforcements and will definitely send their fleet to hide near Noriosse. I have a few ideas, but we should first find a new base before discussing them in detail.”
