Chapter 236 Conquer

Chapter 236 Conquer

Sylas hauled Archibald over his shoulder, but his senses never left the man. This sort of Profession was exactly the kind that was easy to underestimate. He didn't believe that Archibald truly had no method of protecting himself, and the oddity of his dialect, and appearing in this village as seemingly the only human... there were things about this that he simply could not ignore.

He placed a hand on the City Stele.

[Conquer City Stele?]

[Conquer City]

[Yes]

At that moment, a pillar of light roared into the skies. In this region, even though it was the dead of night, it seemed as though it had become as bright as day. If the raging flames weren't eye-catching enough, this pillar was bound to be on an entirely different level.

[Conquer Sequence Triggered]

'City is being conquered? There are no reports of a city being so nearby... Granted, we only came recently. There hasn't been time to scout out the entire region just yet.'

Ragnar cursed. He had just established this city and couldn't easily leave its limits. He preferred to do things on his own, but it would be difficult to get any accomplished with an official city. And it was precisely because he liked getting things done on his own that he didn't entrust someone else to be the City Lord. Though, it was doubtful that any Heir would do this.

The question was should he send someone? The distance was close enough. The conquering sequence had just started, and assuming the City Stele was still in the village tiers, there would only be a minute to work with.

In the end, Ragnar gave up on trying to benefit from the situation. But, he definitely needed to scout it out or else being in the dark in the future would cause problems. Somehow, another power had conquered a city, something that should have taken a substantial endeavor, right under his nose. That left him feeling uneasy. Matched with what happened earlier in the day with that mysterious snakeman, it was even more important for him to be on top of things.

"Send out Poppy," he eventually said. "Tell her not to engage unless there is an opportunity. I want information, first and foremost."

"Right away, sir!"

The System City was known as Orciulius City. At the moment, it was still quite vacant, but it had already begun showing signs of activity. Try as Lucius might, getting people to stop going into and supporting System Cities was far too difficult. Just in terms of the aura it exuded, and the sense of security it projected, it was on an entirely different level.

Steel walls rose up 20 meters into the sky, skyscrapers loomed tall and imposing, and there was an order and conviction to the city that simply couldn't be found in other places. Plus, most importantly of all, there was law.

There were no indiscriminate killings allowed in the city, one could start up an entire life here, even be protected from beast tides and fellow humans alike. They were even safer locations than the capital cities of their so-called governments back on Earth.

Deep in the core of this City, a man, too, woke up and looked toward the distance. When he saw the pillar of light, he felt a rare fluctuation in his emotional state.Fịndd new updates on n(o)v/e/lbin(.)com
