Chapter 933: You’re Seeking Death!

Highland City is just right ahead.

The captain of the Pale Blue Army gazed at the ruined city gloomily. Just a day ago, he received orders from the Light Parliament to suppress the riots in Highland City. But it seemed like the situation was better than he expected. Other than the billows of thick black smoke, everything seemed to be well under control. It seemed like the Alanic Family had successfully suppressed the riots. Tsk, how annoying! How would I not know what those superior old farts are planning. I’m so unlucky to be chosen for this!

The captain looked at the pitch-black sky in resentment. The dazzling stars, silver star ring, and enormous sun—this ridiculous place sure is creepy. Damn it, I suppose hell looks similar.

“What happened?”

Shortly after, the army arrived at Highland City. However, what caught the captain by surprise was that the entrance was tightly shut and there were no soldiers on the watchtower or city walls. Not only that, but the entire city was also in absolute silence. Apart from the breeze of the wilderness, the city seemed completely dead.

“Hmm?”

At this moment, the captain spotted two triangular flags hanging on both sides of the entrance. They had a black base, as well as an eye-catching, white cross symbol. Why are the flags here?

“This is the end, you worthless scum!”

All of a sudden, the army heard a crisp, childish voice. They looked up subconsciously and saw a petite young girl standing on the city wall above the entrance. She had pigtails and was clad in a white robe for Clerics. She crossed her arms and looked down upon everyone in disdain.

“Who are you?”

The captain asked sternly. The young girl let out a snort and lifted her chin with pride.

“Who do you think you are? Don’t you know that you should report your name before asking for someone else’s? Idiot! Stupid! Brainless! Forget it… It seems like a group of fools like you with less than 30 IQ can’t understand logic that smart humans with high IQ can. Alrighty then, I shall cut the crap.”

The young girl coughed a couple of times. Then, she puffed out her chest and sized up everyone with narrowed eyes.

“Listen up you idiots down there. This city is now serving Leader… No, the Void Dragon! In other words, this city belongs to the Void Territory and is Starlight’s turf! I’ll crush any idiot who finds trouble with us! Go back to where you came from, tiny worthless shrimps! You hear me?! Useless trash with battle strength lower than nine and EXP less than five!”

“…”

In an instant, the captain and his soldiers fell into a strange, awkward silence. They were speechless. Although they predicted the possible situations before arriving here, they didn’t expect this at all. There were no rioters or fights and schemes between nobles, but instead there was this young girl who didn’t make any sense.

“It seems like it’s impossible to communicate with these low-IQ NPCs…”

Mini Bubble Gum held her forehead and shook her head.

“All right, I shall drop my 135 IQ to your level that is lower than low! Cough cough. Listen up! Highland City has declared their subordination to the Void Territory. In other words, Highland City no longer belongs to the Country of Light. So… A bunch of lackeys like you from the Country of Light get lost from my sight right now! Also, you have even entered Void Territory without permission. Who do you think you are? Shoot. I give you two choices; get beaten up by me before you scram or before you scram, get beaten up by me! Pick your choice!”

“What did you say!?”

The captain sulked. He finally understood the situation now. Damn it!

As one of the captains of the border army, he knew the risks involved with Highland City in this area. In fact, before the Void Dragon soul protection stabilized the land of Chaos, he and the other captains had proposed to their superiors to dispatch their army and station them in Highland City. If not, no one knew what twists and obstacles would arise if this issue wasn’t settled promptly. However, the idiotic old farts of the Light Parliament were afraid of causing disputes with the Alanic Financial Group. As a result, they bid their time waiting for the perfect opportunity.

This is the so-called ‘perfect opportunity’? Highland City has been dominated by the Void Territory already! What should I do?

The captain pondered in silence while gazing at the petite figure above them. There was no sound or clamor in Highland City. Although he didn’t know the situation inside, the fact that this little rascal was so arrogant proved that the Void Territory must have gained control over the city. Hold up. Could it be that the riots in the city were the doing of the Void Territory? Surely they didn’t send their army into the city while the riots were going on to gain control, right? If that’s the case, this situation will be a big trouble.

Wrong!

The captain came to a sudden realization.

He had been sending his soldiers to monitor the city all along. There weren’t too many people accessing the city apart from the merchants. But the merchants were also from the Country of Light and had no relations with the Void Territory. On the other hand, he didn’t witness anyone from the Void Territory entering Highland City apart from the emissaries who made up less than 10 people.

According to the intelligence, the ones capable of opening up the land of Chaos must be incredibly formidable. Since they possessed strength in the Legendary Stage, it wouldn’t be hard for them to repress the city. But… Do I just walk away? We may face dangers if we force our way through. It should be the right choice to retreat before getting into a clash, since it’s the fault of those idiots. I should let those old farts clear up their own mess! But… It doesn’t fit our identity as the ‘Pale Blue Army’ if we back off now. Besides, we’re unsure of how strong they are, so we need to probe to a certain degree. Hmph…!

The captain lifted his head and glared at the young girl.

What kind of joke! A new territory not giving a damn about the Country of Light?! Does this young girl really think that her arrogant claptrap can scare us away?!

“We won’t back off just like this. Highland City belongs to the Country of Light. As soldiers of the Country of Light, we…”

Before the captain finished his sentence, the young girl snapped.

“In other words, you’re asking for a beating!”

At the next moment, a pure, dazzling light beam shone on the army from the sky. Along with thunderous rumbles, violent explosions and powerful airflow erupted in the blink of an eye, smashing an enormous sunken hole on the ground.
