Chapter 460 - Reinforcements Arrived to Prepare for the Operation

Linus was hiding in the mountains. Just by listening to their conversations, he could already tell the identities of two of the three apostles.

One was Robert, the City Lord of Rebirth City, and the other was Blanche, the City Lord of Dark Knight City.

However, the third apostle rarely spoke, so Linus was unable to determine his identity in a short period of time.

In order to obtain the most comprehensive information, Linus had no choice but to continue hiding with the others and continue eavesdropping on the conversation of the three apostles.

Robert, who had been criticized for being the furthest away from Imperial City suddenly said, “Chad and the other three apostles are as timid as mice! After learning that the foreign races have recently turned Serene Spring City upside down, they actually ran off to Devil Flame City. I really don’t know if they will walk right into their trap!”

Blanche, who had been teasing Robert previously, agreed with his point of view, which was a rare occurrence. He said with a smile, “It seems that the two of us are thinking the same thing. Although that outsider has killed three apostles in Serene Spring City, his headquarters is obviously Devil Flame City. If we besiege Devil Flame City now, it is likely that we will be sending ourselves to death! Therefore, I would rather attack Serene Spring City. By then, even if there is an accident, I will be able to retreat to the vicinity of Imperial City in time. I believe that by then, the oracles in Imperial City will not stand by and watch us die!”

Robert immediately agreed and said, “That’s right. I believe that Gordon thinks so too, right?”

“That’s right!”

The apostle whose identity had always been unknown responded in a deep voice and did not speak again.

Linus, who was eavesdropping from behind the hill, widened his eyes and held his breath subconsciously. He did not dare to make a sound because he heard the name of the third apostle, Gordon!

Among the twelve apostles that shocked the entire Elf World, their rankings had always been very chaotic. This was because the apostles rarely fought with each other, but they all thought that they were far stronger than each other.

Hence, within the territory of the twelve apostles, there were twelve different rankings.

The only similarity was that the number one position on each apostle’s list was always the same. The undisputed number one apostle was the City Lord of Demon City, Gordon!

Gordon had chosen to attack Serene Spring City together with Robert and Blanche. Although there were only three of them, their accumulated strength was about the same as the group of apostles that were attacking Devil Flame City.

This is because Gordon’s strength was enough to match two apostles!

After Linus calmed down, he turned around carefully and gestured for everyone to retreat. The group quietly retreated to the top of the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, one of the Dark Elves sighed in fear, “It’s too scary! Gordon was not far above us just now. Other than the oracles in Imperial City, he is the number one Dark Elf in Elf World. If we were discovered by him, we will definitely die a horrible death!”

Linus nodded in agreement. He said in a deep voice, “Now we can basically confirm that the seven apostles have not returned to their respective territories, so the next mission will be much more convenient. We don’t have to worry about intruding into the cities. Moreover, the outside of Serene Spring City has already become a place of trouble. We should not stay here any longer. Let’s hurry!”

“Yes!”

Everyone answered in unison. They then followed Linus on a brand-new journey.

…

At the same time, on the top of Serene Spring City, Melissa and Dave looked at the flag on the distant hillside, their eyes filled with worry.

Melissa was holding onto the Devil Dragon’s Spine. She sighed softly, “Master has left for some time already. I wonder if he’s safe now?”

Dave shook his head, “I advise you to save your breath! You don’t have to worry about Vincent’s safety. What you need to think about now is how to defend this city. There are three apostles and their disciples guarding the opposite side. However, we do not even have a level 40 expert on our side. Once the battle starts, it will be a disaster for Serene Spring City!”

Melissa smiled with confidence and said, “These apostles don’t dare to attack Serene Spring City for the time being because they are worried that master is in Serene Spring City. If they attack rashly, it will be equivalent to sending themselves to their deaths! This is also why only three apostles came. The other apostles are not here!”

Melissa’s analysis of the situation seemed very logical, therefore, Dave could not help but ask, “Then tell me, where did the remaining four apostles go?”

Melissa turned to look at Dave and said with a teasing look, “If they are worried that Vincent is in Serene Spring City, where do you think they would go?”

Dave wanted to shake his head and say that he did not know. However, he suddenly froze on the spot and sighed nervously, “Devil Flame City! Those idiots wouldn’t have gone to my Devil Flame City, would they?”

Melissa shook her head helplessly. Dave’s hindsight made it really difficult for her to assume the important role of City Lord. She did not know why Vincent chose to nurture him.

“Actually, you don’t have to be nervous. Whether these apostles are guarding outside of Serene Spring City or Devil Flame City, they are equally worried that Vincent will be in the city. Before either side dares to take the initiative to attack, they can only live in the shadows. So, Devil Flame City is still safe for the time being!”

Melissa could not help but comfort Dave when she saw his nervous expression.

Dave suddenly raised his head with a straight face and looked at the mountain in the distance. He said in a deep voice, “That’s not right! These apostles are currently afraid of Vincent. However, if Vincent does not appear, they will immediately conclude that Vincent is not in the city! That’s because, in their eyes, Vincent is a crazy powerhouse who has killed five apostles. He will definitely take the initiative to go out of the city to hunt them! Therefore, the most important thing now is that we must find some foreign faces and let the demons below see them on purpose. Only then will we be able to truly intimidate the apostles outside the city!”

Melissa looked at Dave who suddenly became serious and could not help but feel very unfamiliar. She asked in surprise, “Since you have thought of a way, then what should we do?”

Dave said very calmly, “The only way now is for me to immediately rush to Devil Flame City and inform Vincent’s lovers to come and help you! And I still have my senior brother Ebenezer to help me in Devil Flame City. That way, I can scare the apostles outside the city to the maximum extent. When the elves who are willing to help us come to support us, only then can we resolve the current crisis!”

After hearing Dave’s unquestionable tone, Melissa could not help but feel shocked. She felt like she was speaking to Vincent.

It turned out that Dave, who had always dropped the ball at crucial moments and followed behind Vincent like a child, actually had such a fierce and decisive side. He indeed had the temperament that made Vincent favor him.

After sensing Melissa’s strange gaze, Dave could not help but frown and ask, “What are you thinking about?”

Melissa quickly said, “I’m thinking, why wait for the elf team to rescue us? We can still recruit an army in the city. We might not lose to the army outside the city!”

Dave shook his head cautiously and said, “That won’t do! Those apostles have the means to turn into demons. Once they turned into demons, they could easily control the life and death of the Dark Elves. Therefore, no matter how many troops you gather from within the city, you were undoubtedly courting death! The only thing we can do now is to change everyone’s beliefs as soon as possible or wait for the other elemental elves to come to support us!”

“You’re right!”

At that moment, a crisp voice of praise suddenly came from behind Dave and Melissa. The two of them immediately turned their heads to look behind them in surprise.

They saw that on the top of the city wall that had no soldiers, a space door had appeared out of nowhere. The people who walked out from it were Avril and Angelina.

Dave quickly went up to them and asked respectfully, “You guys, how did you come here?”

Avril smiled and said, “Devil Flame City has been surrounded. After we learned about you and Vincent’s deeds in Serene Spring City, we guessed that this place might be in the same predicament, so we sent reinforcements to you!”

“Reinforcements?”

Dave looked at the space door behind Avril curiously.

A green figure walked out from the space door. It was the Wood Elf, Horace!

Following closely behind Horace were a hundred elves of different faiths. They stood on the top of Serene Spring City.

Dave asked in disbelief, “Horace, are these our reinforcements?”

Horace looked at Dave, who had turned into a Black Elf. His eyes were filled with shock. He nodded and replied, “These are the helpers my disciple hired. Half of the elves in Devil Flame City were left behind. They are enough to handle some small-scale battles. But if we want to fight those apostles with real weapons, I’m afraid we still have to rely on Vincent!”

Angelina suddenly said, “It’s not just Vincent. Every elf is a force worthy of our attention. Now that the temple in Devil Flame City has been built, the residents have begun to choose to believe in Vincent. Although this cannot change their beliefs, it can greatly suppress the influence of the demonic aura on them. I think Serene Spring City can follow suit! At the same time, Dave should hurry back to Devil Flame City to preside over the city’s affairs, so that the elves won’t be distracted!”

Dave immediately said, “Alright, I’ll hurry back to Devil Flame City! You two, stay here and help Melissa. Your foreign faces are very important and will help to intimidate the enemy!”

Avril and Angelina looked at each other. They then turned to Dave and said, “Alright, we’ll stay! Now that the underground relics of Bright Moon City have been developed, you can contact the surrounding City Lords through the space tunnel after you return to Devil Flame City so that they can take the opportunity to see the real face of the demons!”

Dave nodded and said with sudden realization, “In that case, I suddenly remembered something! The army that originally belonged to Serene Spring City should still be guarding the valley where Darren collected the Origin Divine Earth. If we can persuade them to abandon the dark and join the light in time, they can be a great help to us!”
