Angle's Arrogance? My Pact with the Succubus Queen!-Chapter 292: Recruiting a Team of Over a Hundred Scouts!

Chapter 292: Chapter 292: Recruiting a Team of Over a Hundred Scouts!

At that moment, Logan’s communicator suddenly lit up and made a quick buzzing sound. It was an urgent message from Hiyua: "Brother! Something strange is happening over the forge. Come see!"

Logan’s face changed slightly. He took a step and instantly appeared above the forge.

As he steadied himself, he saw a golden beam of light fall from the sky. It turned into a golden scroll floating in the center of the factory, radiating a powerful and serious pressure.

Through Nel’s explanation, Logan knew this was the official mark of the Dream Committee — the highest authority in Pinocchini.

[Emergency Draft Notice: Thirteenth District Leader Logan Latio, the power you took by driving out the Blood Wolves is not legal. You have three days to go to the edge of the Crying Canyon and collect energy crystals to complete the [Deep Valley Collection Task] and gain points. If you don’t collect 10,000 points in one month, your control over the Thirteenth District will be completely invalid. Signed: Black]

Logan looked at the scroll and laughed coldly. "Finally, it’s here."

From the memories of Maya Archbishop and the messenger, he knew this was a trap set by the Brutus family and the Eighth Company. Their plan was to lure him to the deep valley and kill him.

Even more dangerous was that War Hammer Brutus had personally led his private army to block all exits of the Thirteenth District.

A 30-star Saint-level pressure covered the district like a solid cage, stopping Logan from escaping.

"Logan, what should we do?" Evelynna asked, her hands gripping her clothes tightly. "This is clearly a trap."

"Of course, I’ll go," Logan said, putting the scroll away. His eyes flashed with cold light. "It’s a perfect chance to test my strength."

As he spoke, Logan sensed the pressure from the sky above.

War Hammer Brutus hovered in the air, his 35-star marks glowing. His pressure pressed down on the Thirteenth District like a real wall, blocking all exits.

But he didn’t attack. Turing’s order was still in his ears: "No private fights during the mission."

Logan stood on the roof, looking at War Hammer in the air, his face pale. He smiled slightly. "Finally, I get to go to the deep valley."

Back in the secret room under the forge, Logan looked at Iron Fist Brutus, who stood respectfully.

"Come here." he said.

Iron Fist Brutus knelt on one knee and bowed his head.

Logan placed his right hand on his forehead. The Yepera bone glowed softly, and then pulled sharply.

Zap! Two golden threads of energy were pulled out.

Iron Fist groaned, his power dropped from 27 stars to 25 stars, but his expression remained respectful.

After half an hour, Logan had two more clear crystal stones in his hand.

Combined with the one taken from Stephen, that made three temporary escape runes.

Inside the crystals, golden threads and black runes intertwined, giving off a warm energy.

"Evelynna, Yelena, Sawako," Logan called.

The three girls came forward, eyes full of hope. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"Activate this rune, and you’ll be free from dimensional pressure for 24 hours," Logan said, handing them the runes. "It might hurt a bit. Gwen, prepare soul stabilizers to help."

Gwen walked over with a medical bag.

She had modified the alchemy equipment into a portable scanner, which she now carried on her shoulder. "All ready."

She took out three bottles of light blue liquid, which gave off a cold mist. "This is an improved soul stabilizer. It will help reduce the pain from energy conflicts."

Logan watched Gwen work with ease and nodded. "You’ll go with them. You’ll handle the medical support."

Gwen shouldered her medical bag and said firmly: "Got it! I’ll make sure there are enough healing potions and antidotes."

At that moment, Nel and Bobbi stepped forward.

Nel unfolded an old map with complex lines marked on it. "We’ve drawn a detailed map of the area these past days."

Bobbi patted her heavy weapon bag and smiled. "Don’t worry. We know the place well. You can practice the route first these two days."

Logan nodded and handed the map to the girls, then continued assigning tasks.

Three days later, at the entrance to the deep valley outside Pinocchini.

Logan arrived with the girls.

The valley entrance was full of strong winds.

Gwen tightened the strap of her medical bag and looked into the deep canyon.

Suddenly, her modified scanner made a soft beeping sound. "Logan, there’s a high-energy reaction ahead. The energy pattern and strength are very strong. It should be the array you mentioned before."

Logan opened his soul power and space sensing, scanning deep into the canyon.

In the shadows, complex array patterns were barely visible, like a huge spider web covering the whole entrance.

Logan knew it was a trap made specifically for him — a forbidden array that could suppress anyone below 36 stars.

Even from far away, he could feel the pressure it gave off.

Suddenly, the baby inside Logan’s soul core let out a soft giggle.

The baby opened its mouth, and the pressure was swallowed and absorbed.

Logan felt a wave of relief, and his lips curled up slightly.

With what he just saw, he was sure the array had no effect on him.

"Let’s go."

As soon as Logan said it, he heard hurried footsteps behind him.

Hiyua ran over, holding a communicator. "Brother, Turing just made an announcement."

"War Hammer Brutus has been removed from his position as family leader for breaking the draft order. He’s been exiled to the border of the Lost World, his gene lock is permanently sealed, and his power has dropped from 30-star to 10-star."

Logan stopped for a moment and laughed coldly. "So Turing finally moved."

"Then should we still go into the canyon?" Gwen asked.

"Yes," Logan looked into the deep valley. "War Hammer is gone, but Black is still waiting inside."

He raised his hand. "Dawn Blade, let’s go."

The group stepped into the canyon entrance.

Thick fog quickly surrounded them.

Visibility was less than ten meters.

The canyon was full of fog. Visibility was low.

Gwen looked at her scanner. "There’s a group of high-energy sources ahead, over a hundred of them."

Nel stepped in front of Gwen. "Lightning lizard pack."

She looked around. "These creatures usually stay in the middle. It’s strange they’re here today."

Logan narrowed his eyes. "Someone let them out on purpose."

He looked at the cracks in the rock wall. A golden energy moved through his vision.

He saw twelve weak energy sources hiding there. The strongest was at 18-star and was shaking.

Natalia opened her Web Domain. Black threads seeped into the rock wall and quickly found the location.

She smiled slightly. "Twelve teams, 137 people, from 12 to 18 stars. Should we clear them out?"

Logan stopped her with a hand.

He cleared his throat and called out: "If you want to live, come out.

There was a noise from the rock cracks.

Twelve scouting teams stepped out.

The leader had scars all over his face and his 18-star power was unstable.

He looked at the girls behind Logan and swallowed hard. "Lord, we came to collect crystals for points. We didn’t expect to meet the lightning lizards..."

Logan heard this and cut him off with a look.

He scanned the leader’s group with his eyes. "Follow Dawn Blade. Half of what you get goes to me, half stays with you. I’ll keep you alive."

The scar-faced leader blinked.

His younger team members looked doubtful. "You’re just a few people. How can you protect us? There are over a hundred 26-star lizards in this canyon alone..."

Logan raised his hand, and his golden Soul Sea spun.

Thirty-six-star marks lit up, and pressure spread out.

The young members instantly fell to their knees.

The other hundreds gasped for air, as if a mountain was on their backs.

The scar-faced leader, seeing this, broke out in sweat and immediately bowed. "We’re willing to follow!"

Logan let the pressure drop.

He looked at Jessica. "Register the list. Officially form Dawn Blade scouting team. Start with C-level missions."

Jessica grabbed her recorder and smiled. "Got it!"

This one job would let them spend freely in Pinocchini.

Nel helped Jessica record everyone’s information.

Bobbi stayed close to Gwen, checking the ground.

Bobbi looked around, then tapped Gwen on the shoulder. "It’s safe within 300 meters. Be careful of the lightning vine traps."

Gwen nodded. "Don’t worry. I won’t wander off. I’m limited to 20% of my power because of the dimensional pressure. Right now, I can only use 16 stars. But my potions are fine. My combat support is limited, though."

Once the list was done, Logan led the team deeper into the canyon.

Nel took the front, jumping over the traps and landing on energy nodes like a dancer in mid-air.

Evelynna tried to open her wings, but felt her energy slow. "This place is heavily suppressed. My energy flow is down by 20%."

Yelena, hearing this, tried to form ice crystals. The process was slower than usual.

She calculated. "Zero-Degree Space now covers from 500 meters to 400. Time slowing dropped from 1/10 to 1/8."

Sawako, seeing both of them testing, started gathering her own energy. "My lightning storm is weaker, but I can still release it without cost. Not too bad."

Logan heard this and nodded. "Have you all kept your escape runes?"

Evelynna patted her chest. "They’re all here. We can use them anytime."

Logan nodded. "Save them for real emergencies. For now, we adapt to the environment and use skill to make up for the difference."

He then looked deeper into the canyon. "Lucia, Sophia, you test too."

Lucia raised her hand and grabbed a nearby rock wall. The stone in front of her shattered into dust.

Sophia opened her eyes and used her True Sight. "No obvious weakness. My energy is normal. We don’t seem to be affected by the environment here."

Not far away, the newly joined scouting team saw the girls’ power and gasped.

"Wow, are they even human?"

"Where did this team come from? All girls, and each one stronger than the last. That guy Logan, the male leader, is so lucky!"

"Shh! Keep it down! We don’t want to get killed!"
