Chapter 601 Transaction
"I can't believe what I'm hearing..." Laura exclaimed, her eyes widening in disbelief at his demand.
"I cannot simply comply with such requests without authorization from the kingdom. These items are of great significance to us, and surrendering them would severely compromise our operations."
Vale nodded as if he could sympathize with her words. Then, he replied coldly.
"I do not care... If you don't give them up, then no one leaves. You will all be corpses in your return to the kingdom.
As soon as Vale made this threat, he promptly cast another Holy Smite!
Boom! Examine the origin of this data, deeply intertwined with n0v[lbin★
This Spell seemed beautiful and filled with energy, but it's definitely a dangerous Spell!
The attack didn't kill anyone, but it caused severe internal injury to everyone present. If not removed immediately, the amount of Holy Energy in their bodies could result in further harm!
"Enough! Enough! We will give you what you asked for!" Laura cried out in surrender. She was willing to do anything to save the Commander's life.
"Very well... And don't forget to tell your soldiers below to pull back before I wipe them out..." Vale said, holding back his bloodlust.
"I will..." Laura weakly said as she started removing her left glove. She also considered using the artifact to counter, but in the end, she was afraid that another lightning strike would fall on her head.
She could probably survive one or two strikes with her Spells, but definitely not more than that.
The transaction was done quickly, and the battle ended just like that.
Furthermore, Vale extracted a total of 195 corpses aside from the mystical artifacts and the Airship... A quarter of these corpses came from the knights and shamans who died in the Airships, and the rest were the victims of the female Vampire, Lisa.
It appears that Lisa's control over the bloodline wasn't perfect yet. She still succumbed to her instincts and killed more than she had to.
Anyway, this was her first time using it in combat, and it was still considered a great experience for her. Furthermore, Vale certainly liked that aggressiveness, especially once the invasion started.
"There's a huge airship coming straight at us!" the officer reported.
"What? Is it an ally? Did we request reinforcements?" Laura asked, taken aback.
"No, we're still analyzing—Ahh! Not good! It's an Airship Model of the Morgan Family! It's the Destroyer of Marquis Morgan!" the officer reported in shock.
Marquis Morgan was the last leader of the Rebel Army they had failed to eliminate. He was the primary target of their mission, and while they had believed they had already eliminated him after destroying all his known bases, they hadn't expected to see him here, especially with an Airship.
Laura knew they had the numerical advantage, but the unexpected appearance of the Marquis and his formidable Airship made her slightly nervous.
After taking a deep breath, Laura calmed her nerves and spoke with authority.
"Do not be scared! We still have five airships on our side! The shamans have already healed, and the Magic Knights have boarded the ship! Ready the cannons!"
She commanded, trying to bolster the morale of her troops.
However, she knew that their cannons could only fire once!
They had already fired their limited shells at the castle a while ago, and they weren't able to resupply in the nearby city! An aerial battle may not end well for them.
Soon, the officer was able to display the image of the rebel's Airship.
Laura then gazed at the projection of the imposing Destroyer Airship, its sleek black hull gleaming ominously in the moonlight.
The vessel exuded an aura of power and menace, with its sharp, angular design and foreboding crimson insignia emblazoned across its side.
Moreover, it dwarfed their Airship, being three times larger in size, making it a dreadfully mismatched encounter for them!
'What a bad luck... If it's like this... We'll have to rely on our numbers...'
"Surround the enemy!"
Soon, the confrontation between the solitary Destroyer Airship and the five Royal Combat Airships commenced.
