Chapter 186 Reinforcements Arrive
The adepts’ base became even busier after the victory.
The winged dragon knights beat their wide fleshy wings, rising and landing all about the camp, sending the witcher-knights to and fro. These exceptional spoils of war were sent into Adept Keoghan’s lab the moment they reached the base, and what was waiting for them was a terrifying nightmare they had never experienced in their lives.
Greem saw the native teenager amidst the people bustling about with work. He was now an important assistant for Adept Keoghan, helping him do some auxiliary tasks in the modification and construction of voodoo beasts.
Keoghan passed the work of checking the inventory for fresh ‘materials’ to the teenager, and walked over when he saw Greem return.
“You did well this time! Lord Sarubo mentioned your name just now. It seems the Lord has been paying attention to you!” Keoghan couldn’t help but pat Greem on the shoulder and praise him.
It was obvious that Adept Keoghan felt respect and admiration for Lord Sarubo from the bottom of his heart.
But once he thought of the fact that nothing in the adepts’ base could escape the vast yet fine mental senses of Lord Sarubo, Greem felt a shiver go down his spine. But he could only respond kindly to Keoghan’s act of intimacy. He even chose to ignore the bloody handprint left on his shoulder.
When all these carcass beetles matured, then Acteon would become a terrifying individual- even amongst the First Grade Adepts!
Mary gritted her teeth and left after walking to and fro where Greem was resting for a bit.
An entire army of witcher-knights had died in the woods. If she didn’t seal the news quickly, the entire Duran province might be alerted. Therefore, Mary hurried back to Blue Hillock City in order to use her influence there to nip all kinds of troublesome news in the bud before they could spread.
Acteon, who had a similar burden, didn’t stay in the base for long, and quickly left for the woods. He needed to set up bug traps on all the key entrances to the mountain to avoid any news from getting outside.
There were two mountain villages and a small town on the edge of Greenland Forest. He had only taken down Colca Village. If the hunters or adventurers from the other village or town broke into the battlefield and found something, their efforts to conceal the truth would have been for nothing.
Coincidentally, the batch of carcass beetles he had just bred needed a large amount of blood to grow. This time, Acteon had already planned on conquering the remaining village and town. He could snuff out all sources of information getting out while also increasing his own strength; why wouldn’t he do it?!
…………
It took four days before Greem finally woke up from his deep slumber!
He didn’t want to wake up so early, but the odd energy flux by his side made it hard for him to sleep, so he had to wake up ahead of time.
He had just opened his eyes when he felt a strong and intense flux in space.
This space flux was so familiar, and so hard to forget, that Greem could determine what it was immediately.
Interplanar ultra long ranged teleportation!
The last time their group had been brought over from the Sarubo clan’s pseudo-plane platform was through such a ultra long ranged interplanar teleportation. The teleportation that time was a painful and torturous experience for Greem, so he remembered it very clearly!
But even though he understood the nature of the space flux, more questions surfaced in Greem’s mind.
According to Adept Keoghan, the second batch of adepts should be arriving one month from now! But now… Greem checked the notification on his chip- they had only been on this knights’ plane for no more than 18 days, 11 hours, 33 minutes, and 31 seconds.
The question had just surfaced in Greem’s mind when he revealed a cold grin.
As expected of a Sixth Grade Adept that could manipulate and toy with others!
He had said it would be one month, but in truth he only needed 18 days to send the reinforcements over. Thus, even if there were traitors among them, or if any of them had been captured by the natives of this plane, the information they would reveal would be inaccurate and hardly cause any impact on the following actions.
That projection of Lord Sarubo probably tricked even Keoghan!
