Chapter 201: Fifty-eight Not afraid? Then why are you trembling?_2

Chamos had just returned to Skeletal Headquarters only to find the place in utter chaos. Every face reeked of tension, which left him confused about what had happened.

“Hey!” Chamos hastily stopped a female knight who was rushing by and asked, “What’s going on? Where is Minister Fenli?”

The female knight recognized Chamos and immediately responded to his inquiry, “Just now, Tenth Squad, which is responsible for the border defense, reported that they’ve encountered Gerard!”

Upon hearing the news, Chamos was initially stunned before he rapidly regained his composure.

As expected, their earlier speculation wasn’t wrong!

Gerard was indeed planning to leave Lyra City!

Although… he wondered why Gerard chose to leave now. What was he doing two days ago?

But there was no time to think about that, Chamos quickly said, “Assemble the Tenth Squad immediately! We’re going to reinforce Tenth Squad now! Tell them to hold on, we absolutely can’t let Gerard escape the city!”

After Chamos had spoken, he realized the female knight was still standing there motionless, her expression quite strange.

“What is it?” Chamos asked.

“The deputy team,” the female knight reported, “According to the Tenth Squad, Gerard isn’t trying to leave the city, but rather, has returned from outside the city.”

Chamos was stunned.

Returned from outside the city?

What did that mean?

Had he already left the city at some point?

Then why come back?

A barrage of questions flooded Chamos’s mind. Before he could sort through them, he heard the female knight say softly, “And during their encounter with him, the Tenth Squad… has already suffered heavy injuries and been completely incapacitated.”

Chamos was dumbstruck.

He knew that Tenth Squad, responsible for the border defense, wasn’t that strong, but they were still a full unit. They were entirely incapacitated after just one encounter?

The image of Gerard popped into Chamos’s mind once again.

He gritted his teeth and then punched the wall in frustration, “So now we’ve lost track of him again?”

“No,” the female knight shook her head, “Quite the opposite, we still have his whereabouts under observation.”

“How did you manage that?” Chamos asked subconsciously.

“Because… he’s not hiding himself at all,” the female knight took a deep breath and then whispered, “He’s already taken down five of our checkpoints, injured over ten skeleton knights, with the latest report coming in five minutes ago.”

“And by looking at the trajectory of his advance.”

The female knight unfolded the Lyra Map in front of Chamos, on it, the checkpoints that had been destroyed by Gerard were connected in a straight line, and that line was pointing towards…

Chamos turned his head sharply to gaze at the most imposing structure in all of Lyra City.

Sky Tower.

…

Bai Wei casually tossed aside a half-bloodstained prosthetic limb and then quietly watched as the limb’s owner, a bone knight, passed out from excessive blood loss.

With that, the last skeleton knight from the checkpoint had fallen.

He then scanned the few Lyrans who were cowering in a corner, spectators to the scene. The immense pressure carried in his left eye left them without the courage to even meet his gaze, and they scattered and ran.

Now on the not-so-narrow street, only Bai Wei was left.

Bai Wei moved his somewhat stiff neck while pondering whether this was the fifth or sixth checkpoint he’d breached?

Hmm… he couldn’t quite remember clearly.

He looked up at the distant Sky Tower.

At this rate, it wouldn’t take long to reach the true heart of all of Lyra.

But Bai Wei didn’t plan to continue forward.

In his left eye’s field of vision, the Skeleton Corps were retreating from the scattered checkpoints and regrouping swiftly. Clearly, they had deduced his intention and were prepared to abandon the fuel-adding tactic, ready to intercept and capture him together.

This was the correct approach.

Bai Wei had always thought the Skeleton Corps’ checkpoint arrangement was a bit foolish; each station manned by only two or three skeleton knights.

With only this much defensive strength, it was no wonder that Gerard could move in and out at will, even when wounded, let alone Bai Wei who had control of Gerard’s body. Clearing a checkpoint was hardly even a warm-up.

Of course, this also had to do with Lyra’s peculiarities.

The most combat-capable force in Lyra was the second generation of demonic Pioneers, while the police-like Skeleton Corps, tasked with maintaining order, was quite limited in combat ability.

After all, Lyrans were just too “well-behaved.” The rules ingrained in their hearts ensured the city would never breed malicious felons, and the Skeleton Corps, while called a police force, acted more like a combination of police, fire services, and medical emergency services from Bai Wei’s previous life.

They could do everything, but none of it well.

Apart from a few squads responsible for diplomacy, most of the bone knights couldn’t match the combat ability of a single Rhein Knight.

So if this were in Somo City, Bai Wei would never have chosen such aggressive actions.

Under Bai Wei’s Gaze, the Skeleton Corps had already completed their assembly on his necessary path, even bringing heavy weaponry. If he continued to charge in straightforwardly, it wouldn’t be as simple as it was now.

However,

He had already achieved his purpose.

With a smile that the distant bone knights could never see, Bai Wei turned around and began walking back the way he had come.

From the beginning, his target wasn’t the Sky Tower.
