Surviving The Fourth Calamity-Chapter 1569 - 147: Exploding Knights

Hill stood at the peak of the sky, coldly watching the gale below that blew away even the clouds.

The exquisite crystal fan on his wrist lightly slipped off, and with a forceful wave, drew a slender whirlwind in the cloud realm.

The small whirlwind seemed to rotate slowly, yet like a vortex, it absorbed every bit of wind around it without missing any.

The whirlwind descended slowly from the cloud realm, but its growth was quick, finally transforming into a gale, halting outside the vine wall woven of endless vines.

Inside and outside the long dam, there was an instant calmness.

’Cunlü’ gently extended her arm, received a red flower petal drifting by, brought it to her lips, gently bit it, her eyes flowed with charm, and she smiled enticingly.

Even if he no longer harbored fantasies about this lady, Lind still felt his heart race madly, as if her bite was directly on his heart.

He couldn’t help but glance at ’Hard Wind’, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

The gale nearly swept away all the wind around Basia City before boldly charging toward the Scaret ship setting sail.

Although he had noticed this storm, Prince Scaret, who set the ships to sail automatically, couldn’t make any changes and could only be thankful that no personnel losses occurred again.

Yet, as he smelled the storm that had reached the island, he couldn’t help but frown: "Strange, this scent... Grandfather, why do I feel something’s amiss?

It’s unlike the power of Great Sage Belfran; his wind, however strong, always has a refreshing aroma.

This is so turbid... It feels like an ocean current containing countless small creatures."

"Have you forgotten? The Wind Fairy by Eosca’s side, no, it should be the Wind Goddess." Scaret’s Great Sage gently closed his eyes before opening them wide, "Ha~ The God of Portals seems to be waiting for us to be evenly matched!

To have left such a strong countermeasure in Basia City!"

"Ellie, perhaps?" Prince Alexis, who stood in the temple awaiting today’s war outcome, spoke calmly, "She hasn’t given up on her Wind Fairy."

"But, Aesces wasn’t supposed to have cleansed that little one?" Raymond exclaimed incredulously, "If he’s such a failure, why would Triton... "

"The Wind Fairy was certainly safe at that time, but if Wendy left some riches for Ellie before then, and she was truly tempted... there might be problems later." Prince Alexis chuckled, "If she acted foolishly due to greed, Aesces would surely abandon managing her.

Just like I did back then.

Self-inflicted, no one can save."

"Ah..." Raymond said somewhat confusedly, "Who exactly is she targeting?

Although it’s us who got hurt, something doesn’t seem right!"

"Hmm?" He suddenly turned his head.

Behind the temple hall, the giant mermaid statue lightly shimmered with pearl light.

Raymond stepped quickly and knelt beside the mermaid statue’s slightly raised hand... A hand as smooth as the roundest shell fell directly onto his forehead.

A few minutes later, as Prince Scaret stood up slowly, he spoke strangely: "Triton says, if possible, it’s best to eliminate Ellie."

Seeing the shocked faces of the Great Sage and Alexis, he clenched his fist and coughed lightly into it: "If not, at least make Ellie leave for the desert.

Even if Eosca hears him, he maintains this stance.

Hmm...

He refrains from aiding the Lady of Pain against the God of Portals, that is his touch of morality.

She is, after all, his dear sister! 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Even though within their God System there’s no concept of siblings, still... Eosca is unworthy.

He and Aesces are having too much fun to be involved in this inexplicable fight.

Both aren’t exactly good things anyway, might as well go elsewhere to fight to the death... preferably Eosca admits defeat, hurry up and get out of this world.

Hmm... When that time comes, his weeping sister should also scram!

Triton says, don’t let the Lady of Pain’s messy accounts drag us in."

"Such sibling love!" Alexis blurted out.

"So, what should we do?" The Great Sage frowned, pondering for a long time, "No matter how many people are killed in the struggle between the Moon Clan and the Undead Tribe, it has nothing to do with us!"

"Ah... actually..." Raymond awkwardly scratched his ear root, "I’ve prepared a few ships loaded with crystal bombs, wanting to seize the opportunity for a test, because, those endless vines have limited ability to entangle people!

Perhaps my ships could fly over and blow up the long dam?"

At this point, both men almost doubted if their ears were faulty:

So, Raymond, are you planning to send the Moon Clan and the Undead Tribe down a path of no return?

The Moon Clan, busy day and night for today’s battle, although their conspiracies were quite idiotic, they were much more earnest compared to past battles.

At least half chose to obey orders willing to fight for victory... Even as bystanders, they could feel that for these Moon Clan, ’obeying others’ will’ is a surprisingly significant sacrifice.

Then, did you prepare this outcome for them?

How could you trap your own people like this?

The words were written all over the Great Sage’s eyes.

Prince Alexis suddenly felt that it was understandable for him to reach such a dilemma today... though he was thick-skinned and ruthless, he was definitely not as shameless and vicious as this Prince Scaret!

If all real winners had to be of this caliber... Then he thought of his even more foolish father, suddenly feeling a wave of sadness, and turned back to his room.

Anyway, whether he won or lost today didn’t matter, why subject himself to this stimulus!

Why bother listening to words he didn’t need to know?

"It’s irrelevant." Raymond smirked, "If we don’t use this opportunity to probe the limits of those vines, how will we manage in the future?"

The Moon Clan has left?

Are you going to deliver it with Scaret Warrior’s life?

He must determine how to deal with these vines to gain an advantage in future confrontations.

"It’s pointless now anyway." Raymond placed his hands on the small windowsill, gazing at the distant shore, "Compared to the elusive conquest of the land, Triton seems to think that dealing with enemies in the sea is more important.

Hmm?

No need to worry about Alexis, see how smart he is, I only said half a sentence, and he already knows to avoid suspicion.

He is unwilling for Eosca to gain any information from him."

The Great Sage ignored him, focused for a while, then noticed that Prince Danboro had indeed locked himself in tightly. He then whispered to ask, "In the sea? What does that mean?

How could there be enemies of Triton in the sea?

What has that wind... what has that wind made Triton discover?"

Raymond sneered, "Already should be dead, yet still struggling, such trash."

The Undead Tribe’s camp had just settled down when the wind seemed about to rise again.

Ditte’s Knight Corps patrolled along the long embankment several times and finally reached their rest period.

"Thunder, make sure to let your mounts rest for half an hour before the wind rises!" ’Sui Chen’ observed Ditte’s state and called out to the still exuberant ’Battlefield Lightening’.

"Strange, with Hill suppressing the wind, how can it still rise?" ’Battlefield Lightening’ mumbled as he slowed down, planning to lead the Knight Corps around the command post to rest on the lawn behind the camp.

However, several knights halted their reins beside the command post.

"What are you doing?" Ditte’s deputy commander shouted, "Keep up!"

However, as he rode near those individuals, he couldn’t help but pause... A beautiful lady was sitting barefoot on the edge of a white cloud, lazily watching them.

’Cunlü’ turned her head to glance back, wearing a radiant smile but speaking with a harsh tone: "My work has finally come.

If it didn’t come soon, I’d have become the ocean’s stone monkey!"

"Pig... right?" ’Old Age Striking King’ wore a satisfied smile of revenge, honestly standing up, bouncing lively on the Cloud Platform.

’Snow Cloud Peak’ shifted on the sofa, placing the windbell grass pot at the boundary of the couch: "I am ready, Lind, do you remember what I told you?

Follow Lu Tai... Huayu~"

Lind nodded firmly, glancing at the calm expression of ’Huayu’ sitting beside him... Although after signing the lease contract, ’Huayu’ had asked if they needed staffing to ensure safe return to Basia City, Lind chose to stay voluntarily.

Having decided to cooperate with the Undead Tribe, Lind felt he should at least show some sincerity... Only then would there be a chance to take the relationship further in the future!

’Huayu’ gave him a smile and handed him a small water ball.

Lind, somewhat puzzled, glanced at the water ball and then at ’Huayu’... Water Element spell, is he not concerned about being suppressed by the Moon Clan standing behind Triton?

But he didn’t have time to think... ’Cunlü’ and ’Hard Wind’ had already walked hand in hand down the white Cloud Platform.

"Eh eh? Why are you stopping here, is there something wrong?" ’Cunlü’ leaned supple against ’Hard Wind,’ chuckling lightly, with a honey-like flow at the edges of her lips, "This is a restricted area oh~

It’s best not to linger lightly!"

The deputy commander’s eyes were almost ensnared by those charming shallow dimples, stammering, not knowing what to say.

Ditte frowned, turning his horse to retrieve his dazed assistant.

"Enemy attack!" ’Hard Wind’ suddenly shouted, and a giant square shield instantly cut from his side, securely covering himself and ’Cunlü’.

"What?" The deputy commander felt a tightness throughout his body as he was caught, along with his horse, by a straight chain dragging him backwards.

But he couldn’t spare a thought to look back, his eyes fixed forward:

His knights, were blown.
