Chapter 519 - 519 New mission.
519 New mission.
Out of the 3 empires, the Kaldron empire was the most peaceful. They didn’t have any enmity with any of the other 2 empires and they had close to no in-fighting or terrorist attacks.
In addition to having the strongest and highest number of Geomancers, the Kaldron empire was blessed with a lot of precious herbs also the highest number of Lumomancers and photomancers making it the healing center of the 3 Empires.
On top of all these, they were blessed with what seemed to be the best location. All of their cities were built on mountains making them the best location for their army which comprised mostly of geomancers, thus making it extremely difficult to siege.
Also, their terrain was a natural barrier protecting them from the other 2 empires. In the North East was the mystical Malock desert that was extremely dangerous for even Angels. So it was impossible for the Synder Empire to match their army through the desert.
To the North was the Saharathia desert; although it was just a normal scorching desert, the arid air of the desert weakened the abilities of Aquamancers which the Tigeria army was mostly comprised of.
“The Kaldron Empire is a natural counter to the aggressive nature of the Synder and Tigeria empires.” Blake thought as he read through the info.
“The same goes for the Tribirius ocean that has prevented an all-out war between the Synder and Tigeria empire, but I have a feeling that things are about to change very soon.” He shook his head and went moved his attention to the Southern part of the map.
The southern region which was the only marked Black Zone on the map was the most dangerous area in all of Infinite realm up till date. Other red zones like the Malock desert could not compare because few people like Slade had managed to survive.
In the case of the black zone, the only people that had managed to enter the area and return alive were the joint exploration group formed by the 3 empires.
…..
“Who could believe that the 3 empires could work together.” Blake was surprised about the info and looked further into it.
The joint exploration team comprised the top experts of the 3 empires. When they entered the Black zone they were immediately attacked by strong mysterious beasts they had never met before.
The joint exploration team managed to repel the mysterious beasts, but immediately after the battle was over one of the peak angels of the Synder empire suddenly slumped and died.
They quickly scanned his corpse for the cause of his death but no traces of poisons or injuries were found.
With the death of one of their strongest members, the Synder empire blamed it on the Tigeria empire. A fight almost broke out between members of the 2 empires but was prevented by the dangers lurking in the shadows of the Black zone.
Just like that the Synder empire disagreed to continue with the exploration, causing everyone to exit the black zone, thus ending the joint exploration on the first day.
“Wow!” Blake was shocked that the 3 empires couldn’t last a day in the black zone. Although it was because they were not united, the fact that a peak angel died in the first battle showed how dangerous the black zone was.
“It really makes me wonder what is inside the black zone.” Blake said as he rubbed his chin. For a place to be so dangerous, Blake felt that something was hidden in the area.
“Even if there is nothing there, the corpse of the mysterious beasts and the resources there would be more precious than whatever the 3 empires have.” Blake thought.
Having still not found any information concerning the feud between the Synder and Tigeria empire, Blake called it a day and turned off the interface.
…
3 weeks later.
“Finally, the last one.” Blake let out a sigh of relief as he placed the last document onto the heap of paperwork by the side.
From the day he had assumed his position as a Special ops Major, paperwork had constantly been piling on his desk. The first week was not too bad, but after that, a mountain of documents that never seemed to reduce was constantly on his desk.
“What am I going to have for lunch?” Blake began fantasizing about how he would fill his belly, but that was when a communication request interrupted his daydreaming.
‘Prince Bryon?!’ Blake was shocked but soon got himself in order and accepted the call.
“Your highness!” Blake saluted.
“At ease.” Bryon said. “Major Blake, an issue has arisen at the Northeast that requires your service. Meet me at the palace for briefing.”
“Yes, your highness!” With the call over, Blake couldn’t help but smile.
“Finally I get to leave this office!”
Blake wasted no time calling Jerry who took him to the palace which was 10 minutes away.
…
On arriving at the palace Blake was ushered into one of the planning rooms, where he saw Prince Bryon, Colonel Darius, and the second special ops Major.
‘I wonder what is going on.’ Blake thought.
“There is a situation at Sandhaven.” Prince Bryon said as he walked to the desk that displayed the layout of the city.
The city of Sandhaven was located not too far from the boundaries of the Malock desert. Lots of ruins were constantly discovered in the area, and even Blake had visited the area back in his days of being in the magic school.
“A new ruin was recently discovered close to the boundary of the Malock desert. The first set of adventurer parties that visited the ruin had gone missing.” bo𝚟𝚕.
The Adventurer Association had sent their members to investigate the matter; they came out with nothing, but another set of adventurers was reported missing some hours ago.” Prince Bryon explained.
“Your task is to resolve the matter as soon as possible. Here is all the info you will need.” Prince Bryon handed them a folder.
