Chapter 467 - A Bewildering Situation
“The situation in Soraka Mountain is far from good.” Viktor could no longer remain silent. Although he didn’t trust Rhode’s group fully, he could only oblige since the King’s Party had given the order. Viktor explained to Rhode the details of the current situation as soon as Rhode displayed the letter from the King’s Party.
Viktor had brought his trusted men into Soraka Mountain after receiving the King’s Party’s order and investigated the situation. Viktor contacted the Chairman of the Soraka Mountain Parliament and gained his trust to protect him and his members. Viktor’s group was responsible for guarding the surroundings since they would only be staying in Soraka Mountain for a short period of time. However, this was more than enough for Viktor.
The Cole Falcon Guild survived on intelligence. After receiving the right to enter the Soraka Mountain Parliament, Viktor’s group inquired and found out the unstable factors in the parliament. Meanwhile, the Chairman and his members went out on a mine exploration and were raided. Fortunately, Viktor was well prepared for this and managed to rescue the Chairman’s group. However, even so, the battle left the Chairman’s group with injuries. The enemies encircled Viktor’s group from all directions and blocked their paths towards the Soraka Mountain City. Even though Viktor was powerful, those masked enemies were no weaklings either. Viktor’s group exchanged blows with them and some lost their lives. In the end, Viktor had no choice but to flee after failing to break through several times. Meanwhile, Viktor found out from his men who hid in Soraka Mountain that due to the Chairman’s disappearance, the factions that leaned towards the Country of Darkness began to move. They took over the defenses and guards of the entire mountain and attempted to hold a parliament meeting without the Chairman. Judging from their methodical actions, this plan had been premeditated for a long time.
Viktor and his men faced difficulties in fighting off the mysterious guards and protecting the Chairman’s group. Moreover, the current situation exceeded the scope that his guild could resolve. The guards’ encirclement shrunk towards Viktor’s group and out of desperation, Viktor broke through the ‘intersection point’ and returned to the Munn Kingdom to report to Royal Highness Lydia.
Got to say, Viktor was a determined and courageous person because it was clearly impossible to breakthrough the intersection point and return to civilization if he wasn’t powerful enough. As a matter of fact, he almost lost his life.
“But since the enemies didn’t reveal their identities, how did you know that they were sent by the Country of Light?” Rhode asked with puckered brows while Viktor displayed a bitter smile and shrugged.
“I knew you were going to ask me this question, Mr. Rhode. That’s right, I didn’t recognize those guys through any badges, appearances, or accents. In fact, those guys were extremely cunning. They were no different from bandits on the outside and we have searched one of their corpses and didn’t find any items that indicated their background. It is apparent that they were well prepared for this raid, but fortunately, I ambushed and injured their commander. At that moment, I recognized an unusually familiar scar…” Viktor revealed a content smile. “That scar was left by my sword skill—Double Fangs. There is only one person with such a scar on that part of his body and that is Belmond Stemis from the Country of Light’s Secret Special Forces. Then, I probed a couple more times and I confirmed that he was indeed Belmond and the mysterious men were members of the Special Forces.”
“I see. So then, Mr. Viktor, how did you get to know Belmond?” Rhode didn’t trust Viktor entirely. Rhode had heard of Belmond and he recalled that in the game, Belmond was indeed a miniature BOSS from the Country of Light. However, as a citizen of the Munn Kingdom, how did Viktor get acquainted with a member like Belmond from the Secret Special Forces?
“That was years back when I got wind of the Country of Light sending men to my Cole Plateau to wreak havoc. I traced my investigations to Belmond, but he fled immediately after realizing the unfavorable situation. I gave chase and got into a fierce battle with him. However, even though I injured him badly, he still managed to escape,” Viktor shook his head and sighed. “That was a hard fight for me too, and I was lucky to deal a fatal blow to him before he escaped. I remember the scar clearly because if I can travel back in time to repeat the entire fight, perhaps I wouldn’t be able to accomplish it that well.” Rhode nodded as he empathized with Viktor’s feelings. Indeed, amongst the players, there were also occasional ‘miracles’ in battles. For instance, there was an average player that exhibited godlike abilities through a freak combination of factors and annihilated the merciless BOSS by himself while his team watched with gawking eyes. Rhode watched the uploaded raid video and witnessed the player’s smooth movements and flawless attacks. However, that player never succeeded in replicating his run no matter how many times he tried afterward.
“Hahaha… I’m just kidding, Mr. Rhode… But I have a question that I hope you can answer me seriously.”
“Hmm? What is it?” asked Rhode curiously as he twitched his brows.
“Just now… the thing that was taking care of me… its body was filled with… erm… what exactly was it?” Viktor asked curiously with a shaky voice.
