Chapter 523 – Plan and Operation
Plan and Operation
Cybel glanced at Leylin.
"I can take on three. It won’t be a problem to take care of the remaining one, right? After all, you managed to kill Demon Hunter Cyril. I look forward to witnessing you opening the battle with your great skills, hopefully ending quickly and assisting others!"
"No problem!" Leylin stroked his nose.
Cybel seemed to be at the peak of the Morning Star realm and could even take on three Morning Star Magi at the same time. No wonder the other Warlocks respected him so.
After the deployment had been settled, Cybel heaved a heavy sigh, his tone tinged with regret.
"Actually, Leylin, if your mentors were present, we would be at a great advantage. Pity… But it’s all too late now! Besides, you and you alone can take care of this matter, we can only furnish you with logistical assistance!"
"It would be good enough to have all of this!" Leylin quickly declared.
It was fundamentally impossible for one organisation to interfere and provide military support to another. It was an extremely easy way to seize power.
In the event that Cybel had deliberately tricked Gilbert and the rest, causing them to perish in their search for ‘Purgatory’, it would be too late for the Ouroboros Clan to even shed tears.
Although the possibility of this happening was slim, prevention was better than a cure.
As such, Cybel and the rest had to remain low-key to avoid attracting suspicion.
"Alright! We’ll set off immediately, and head towards the Crystal Mountains. This time, we need to get our hands on the historical remains of Scarlet Crescent!" Cybel waved his hand in the air, emanating a heroic spirit.
The other Morning Stars’ eyes gleamed with a thirst for success.
……
At a Magus military base.
The entire place was covered with detection towers and barriers, sinister-looking steel puppets and bio-beasts alongside fangs and cannons.
From time to time, spiritual force undulations of Crystal Phase Magi could be felt as they swept through the area on patrol. In fact, there was even the terrifying aura of an occasional Morning Star Magus, causing the most ferocious of mutated beasts to be petrified and whimper in fear.
"We do not know the concrete location of the historical remains, though we do know that there are a total of thirteen likely sites. Five of them are in our hands and the rest are with the opposite side. This place is one of their military bases. The ones keeping watch here are the hunter Borick and the Marine Giant Siebel…"
The silhouettes of Leylin and Philip appeared at the heavily guarded military base.
"The convergence of the sun, stars and moon and the appearance of the Oake’s arc is very soon!"
Leylin’s eyes sparkled. With the help of the A.I. Chip, his calculations of the star’s trajectory was much more advanced and accurate than the many astrologers on the continent.
The lower right corner of the A.I. Chip’s interface stated the time clearly: 1 hour 24 minutes!
Ridiculously, Cybel and the others believed that the historical remains would appear in these two days and they were seizing the military bases everywhere.
It requires a huge amount of calculating and researching to determine where the remains would appear. Even Jupiter’s Lightning along with Cybel and his men could only conclude that these thirteen locations were likely.
As for Leylin, he was certain that this base was more than 80% likely to be the location!
This was due to the amazing processing power of the A.I. Chip. With him joining the union, Cybel had revealed all information associated with the place. Thus, unknown to him, Leylin was able to determine both a time and a place for the reappearance.
Leylin guarded the secret of the A.I. Chip fiercely and would obviously not reveal anything. He only fought for the opportunity to be bestowed this mission and then watched Cybel assign the subsequent missions.
"It’s almost time to start!" Philip looked at the pocketwatch in his hand.
