Chapter 576: Chapter 511 Zabol: Watch How I Deceive My Old Subordinates

Dada dada——

The enormous gears turned, and the alloy gate, which was a solid twenty centimeters thick, slowly lifted.

A troop numbering in the hundreds, clad in silver rune Light Armor and adorned with grey cloaks, trudged through the now open alloy gate.

The warriors of this unit could hardly conceal the fatigue on their faces. Their wide grey cloaks were tattered, and the rune Light Armor beneath, worn down from numerous battles, also appeared old and lackluster.

They marched on a road that was not particularly spacious, flanked by towering city walls that gave the feeling of being in a narrow gorge, with occasional shadows seen flickering in the distance.

Ahead, roughly two or three hundred meters away, there was another alloy gate that was firmly shut.

At that moment,

as the gears turned again, a loud bang echoed, and the alloy gate behind them fell and shut completely.

Ahead, at the end of the road, the front alloy gate, amid a series of clicking sounds, finally began to open slowly.

It was only after passing through that gate that one truly entered the Royal City.

These two gates were merely the small gates of the "Eternal Wall," used occasionally by the Wall-Corps when retrieving bodies or by the Wing Corps when exiting the city.

Ever since the construction of the wall, the primary gate of the "Eternal Wall" had never been opened.

After the second alloy gate was opened, the halted Wing Corps began to move forward slowly.

Centered in the formation were several carriages, with fully enclosed rear compartments and several mechanical horse-looking Puppet Horses pulling them along.

Inside the carriages, Zabol and others, dressed in battered grey cloaks, were either sitting or standing.

After a while,

the troop passed through the alloy gate and entered the Wing Corps’ quarters, located beside the "Eternal Wall."

The quarters were but a connected series of low buildings which had a spacious area in the center, converted into a rudimentary training ground—also the residence for the Awakeners of the Wing Corps.

Royal City housed several Corps.

The Eternal Army stationed at the "Eternal Wall."

The Patrol Army and Law Enforcement Team responsible for the city’s security.

The Red Army, which was directly under the Royal Family.

And the Wing Corps responsible for gathering intelligence and resources from the outside world... which had shrunk to a tenth of its original size after repeated reductions.

...

After infiltrating the Royal City, General Dulu and another had already left beforehand, planning to investigate Duke Mansion’s previous properties in the Inner City as per their words.

Zabol did not stop them.

After all, they were experienced Transcendents, not so easily killed, and forming a team to the Royal City was only one of the collaboration requests proposed by Duke Mansion; after arriving, there was no plan to involve them in everything.

He called the Corps Deputy Commander Mark and several other confidants to understand the current situation in Royal City.

"Boss, during the two months you were away, we didn’t organize any long exploratory missions, so we didn’t suffer many losses, but... I heard news that the Royal Family intends to disband our Corps. Thank goodness you’re back!"

Mark looked at Grey Blades and others, "Are these people from other regions of Aino continent? Indeed, Royal City isn’t the only place where humans survive!"

The news of Zabol’s departure was known only to a few confidants within the Corps.

Publicly, the Commander was said to be in seclusion for a breakthrough, and indeed, Zabol’s power had significantly increased.

However,

Seeing the humans from the outside world, amidst excitement, Mark and the other confidants began to worry again.

Once the Wing Corps was dissolved, what would become of them?

Zabol did not directly address their concerns.

He securely closed the door and spread his spiritual power to make sure no one was eavesdropping before his expression turned serious.

"You are the ones I trust most, but there’s an issue that I have to clarify today."

The gravity of the situation sent a chill through Mark and the others.

They all grew tense.

Could it be that the Corps Commander had changed, planning to abandon them?

Then they heard Zabol continue, "If I no longer remain loyal to the Royal Family, would you still trust me?"

Mark and the others were stunned.

In theory, all the established Corps within Royal City belonged to the Royal Family.

Indeed, over the years, their Wing Corps had received increasingly less funding, and now rumors that the Royal Family planned to dissolve the Corps made the warriors uneasy.

Their loyalty to the Royal Family was not strong, but apart from the Royal Family, was the Corps Commander planning to seek support from some great noble in the Inner City?

The moral caliber of those great nobles, what difference did it make compared to the Royal Family?

Could they still support them in uncovering the truth about Black Tide?

Mark and others’ changing expressions were evident to Zabol, their long-serving old officer, "It’s not other nobles."

"Rather, it’s aid from another world."

...

In the plain and somewhat old room, silence prevailed.

Deputy Commander Mark’s mouth opened and closed in shock.

Even the Iron Blood Duke More, upon first hearing the news, was too shocked for words, let alone Mark and the others whose capabilities and perspectives couldn’t compare with those of transcended beings like More.

After a long while,

It was still Mark who spoke with a trembling voice, "Is there really... another world?"

If this statement hadn’t come from their own Corps Commander, they would never have believed it.

However, now,

Mark suddenly startled, his gaze falling on Fani, who had taken off her hood... specifically, her head.

"Ears, ears that move?!"

"Is this what humans from the Otherworld look like?!"

"Wolf, Wolf Girl?!"

The Aino continent had creatures such as wolves, and there were also stories with pictures of wolf girls and cat girls.

But they were just stories, as high-ranking members of the Wing Corps, they could distinguish between fiction and reality.

Once their worldview was shattered, everything else became easy to accept.

"...So, boss, you now serve the great Green Shadow Lord and have traveled through numerous worlds?"

Zabol nodded.

If one included Holy City, Star Road, and various dimensional spaces, he indeed had been to many worlds.

Moreover, the Lord’s Contract Book could summon him from the Royal Capital to Green Shadow in a flash; the Transmission Array created could also transport them from Green Shadow to the Aino continent in a blink.

Surely he had the coordinates for more than one world.

The vast divine power was beyond doubt.

...

A fluffy tail emerged from behind Fani; she sat quietly in a chair, taking a cone from her Space Ring and began licking it contentedly.

Lorraine walked around the room, not finding her beloved liquor, she immediately showed a look of disdain; Zabol’s subordinates’ tastes were poor.

"Nini, I want one too."

"Here~"

A cone floated towards Lorraine.

"Got any liquor? Red or white, either is fine."

Fani’s ears drooped then quickly sprang back, "Want some happy water?"

"Forget it." Lorraine sighed disappointedly, her pale eyes staring at the ceiling like a salted fish.

They waited.

Before long,

Zabol emerged with a few of his trusted subordinates.

At this moment, Mark and his companions had found a new faith.

Traveling through All Worlds, confronting powerful forces behind the scenes.

Saving one perishing world after another.

This was the Green Shadow City described by the Corps Commander! Created single-handedly by that Great Lord!

If they performed well, one day, they might also go to that city that existed only in their imaginations!

Immediately, their fighting spirits soared, and they were rejuvenated.

"Boss, assign us a task, we will definitely assist the envoys in handling the matter."

Zabol nodded, "First thing, in the Outer City District, no, rather in this area outside the former Royal Capital, buy a piece of land with only one requirement—keep a low profile and don’t reveal your identities as members of the Wing Corps."

"Second, the Wing Corps cannot be dissolved yet. The Royal Family has always felt that our Corps hasn’t achieved anything commendable but instead has continuously wasted resources. Just in time, I discovered traces of survivors in a fortress in the west; report that incident."

"Third thing," Zabol crossed his arms and thought, "Cough, let me send a text message to inquire."

...

Town West City.

After several minutes of message delay, Tang Yu finally received the contract transmission from Zabol and others.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems there weren’t great horrors outside the Royal Capital, so the repeated unheeded calls for help from the Duke Mansion might just be a struggle among nobles.

Fingertips lightly tapping on the table, Tang Yu pondered over what he needed to do now.

"Find out the true nature of Black Tide, whether it’s related to the ’Devil Race,’ perhaps starting from the day the Black Tide broke out."

"’Eternal Wall’ was reputedly made by two Great Grandmasters and tens of Masters. Can he get his hands on information related to the ’Eternal Wall’?"

"Additionally, the Royal Family has the deepest heritage, could that treasured item be in the hands of the Royal Family?"

Tang Yu had considered directly approaching for a friendly exchange.

However, working with the Duke Mansion, he was the lead party, and the waters in the Royal City were much deeper—friendly exchange was just his wishful thinking; the nobles might not see it that way.

He chose a safer path.

First, establish a foothold within the Royal City.

Minutes later, he received a message from Fani in his mind:

"Lord, you can come over now~"

He took out a positioning device developed by Kevin, with the Locating Crystal Stone in Fani’s possession, the contract contact made the positioning more efficient and precise.

In the blink of an eye, he was on the Array Plate of the Transmission Array underground, selecting coordinates for transport.

The next moment,

Whoosh!

Massive space power enveloped him, travelling through a colorful environment for a few moments before finally setting foot on solid ground.

(Today’s CT showed my lungs are still inflamed, it hurts so much, and because of my past conditions I can’t be hospitalized in a small place, I have to catch a plane tomorrow, so sad! I really wanted to update more~!!!)
