Village Head's Debauchery

Chapter 942 A Task from the Village Chief, Mysterious Newcomers

"I didn't ask for your opinion, Captain Seig, or do you have anything important to say unrelated to this matter?" Stronghold Leader Seth's eyes shifted toward Seig.

Seig swiftly sealed his lips and remained silent.

Evadne inwardly sighed at her captain's impulsiveness. 'Even if you want to save them, do you think they'll listen?' she thought.

Stronghold Leader Seth refocused his attention on Orion.

"Are you sure you want to go there alone? They might also have a mysterious divine being protecting them," Orion responded, ignoring the previous exchange.

"Of course, I'll go alone. I've just mastered the flying technique you taught me, so if anything goes wrong, I'll inform you immediately and return to the Primordial Barrier as soon as possible," Stronghold Leader Seth snorted.

Orion furrowed his brows, pondering. The only reason he had stayed to confront the god despite Aerialia's warning was that he had a lot of confidence in the Crimson Greatsword, and the Morphic Puppet Vylkr artefact, which he wore as armour, was nearly impenetrable unless the god was a true god, which he was sure wasn't the case. Otherwise, they would have swatted him aside like a fly during his announcement.

"Okay. I'll give you the Morphic Puppet for your protection," Orion replied. The Vylkr artefact was already bound to him, and he could control it however he wanted. So he wasn't afraid of Seth using it against him. Besides, he knew Seth wouldn't even think about trying such a thing.

Stronghold Leader Seth shook his head in response, "I'll be going there with my own strength."

What kind of Stronghold Leader would he be if he took the Vylkr artefact from Orion for protection? Even though there was no real reason to refuse since Orion was the Village Chief, he knew that Stronghold Leader Zogar would have also refused and relied on his strength.

Fifi sighed at Stronghold Leader Seth's words, but her actions were hidden behind her mask.

"Okay then, alert us if you notice anything wrong. Be careful," Orion responded.

Stronghold Leader Seth nodded and swiftly ascended into the distance, heading towards the direction of 'The Sleeping Fox Runaway City.'

As Stronghold Leader Seth took off into the sky, Seig felt a brief gaze and inwardly sighed in defeat. 'It's over. They're done now,' he thought, hoping that Stronghold Leader Seth wouldn't go too far with the threat he would deliver.

"With Stronghold Leader Seth dealing with the Sleeping Fox Runaway City, our next target will be handling the gods' chosens below," Orion announced.

"We can handle them, Chief. You can leave them to us," Leif swiftly responded, taking the lead before everyone else followed.

"It'll be our pleasure to capture or eliminate them for paradise."

They all wanted to prove themselves and show their worth.

"It won't even be worth your time and energy if you go down there to deal with them, Chief. So leave it for us to handle," Seig added, not wanting to be left behind.

"I think we should see what they can do," Fifi said, agreeing.

"I've already thought about sending them to handle the gods' chosens down below," Orion responded, shifting his gaze from Fifi to Leif and the others. "Capture their leader and a few others so we can interrogate them to find out which Runaway City they belong to and their reason for being here. You are allowed to kill anyone who resists capture," he added.

The gods' chosens below appeared to be the same race as those he had just confronted, so he wanted to know why they were scouring the area now.

Fifi nodded.

Leif and the others nodded in understanding. They instantly took to the air, each using unique flying techniques—some sprouted two wind wings on their backs. In contrast, others were enveloped by the swirling wind, propelling them toward the location of the gods' chosens below with their Gearweavers in hand.

Seeing this scene, Sieg gritted his teeth and ascended, determined not to be left behind. Although he hadn't fully mastered the technique, he utilized it as best as possible, unwilling to let Evadne carry him and tarnish his public image. Instead, he manoeuvred through the air like a bird with wounded wings, gradually catching up with the others in the distance.

"You can stay and monitor the group. I'll follow closely and intervene if anything goes wrong," Orion said, turning his attention to Fifi.

Fifi nodded in understanding. Unlike the others, she wasn't in a rush to showcase her strength, knowing it would be useless.

After giving her one last nod, Orion's body scattered into countless streaks of lightning and disappeared toward the direction Seig and the others were headed.

.....

Azarok lay on his back, enjoying the scenery with the vast deposits of Vylkr alloys behind him, waiting for his captain's return. Suddenly, he swiftly sat upright, sensing danger.

Azarok turned his head toward a specific direction in the sky and noticed several specks of dots swiftly heading their way.

"EVERYONE, TAKE COVER!! WE ARE UNDER ATTACK!!" Azarok screamed, wielding his Gearweaver sword as he alerted the others, who had also noticed the mysterious intruders heading in their direction.

They also prepared themselves, entering their formation as they tried to guess the mysterious newcomers' identities.

BOOMM!!

BOOMM!!!

BOOMM!!

The newcomers landed on the earth before them one by one, causing them to carve in along with several one- and two-star Vylkr vines. This created a gust of dust that rose into the air, cloaking their arrival.

As the dust settled, revealing the newcomers' identities, Azarok's eyes widened in surprise and shock.

Captain Seig, his lieutenant Evadne, and even the six Four-

eared elves gods' chosens, all of whom he didn't recognize but were still shocked because they could neither find traces of them during their search but were now currently before them.

'Have the Sleeping Fox Runaway City succeeded in capturing Patriarch Rylan and the Four-eared Lone Rabbit Runaway City gods' chosens?' Azarok pondered before swiftly dismissing those thoughts.

He realized that if the Sleeping Fox Runaway City had already captured them, the Four-eared Elves gods' chosens shouldn't be present. Also, the Sleeping Fox Runaway City would have already left by now.
