Chapter 456 Preliminary Results?
After leaving the cave where Nova and Vicente were, the Sky Sovereign continued his search for those involved in the great battle of a few minutes ago.
If it had been an ordinary 4th stage battle, this man would have given up after a few moments of searching. But he couldn’t give up since something completely out of the ordinary had happened, something that could even make this man worry.
After searching for some time without success, he picked up his communicator and sent an order.
“This is Colonel White. I want more reinforcements in the Wolfrior Forest.”
“More reinforcements?” A voice came from White’s communicator. “Colonel, I’ve already sent several Sovereigns and Mages. We can’t send…”
Colonel White interrupted the person who was at the headquarters closest to this area, in the province adjacent to Scott Province.
“Commander, it’s an order. Someone who can become a Paragon has just appeared in the Wolfrior Forest. I don’t know if this person has anything to do with the escape from Long Bay Correctional Facility, but we must find them and learn more about them. This person is a potential threat to the king’s peace!”
The other side was silent for a moment but then replied. “I will send your statement to my superiors. We’ll see what we can do, Colonel White, but it will take a while for the higher investigators to get there.”
“It doesn’t matter. I’ve already lost track of them, so it doesn’t matter how long it takes. Just make sure they get here as soon as possible.”
…
A few hours after the fight between Vicente and the 4th-stage Hawk, the number of soldiers in the Wolfrior Forest area was several times higher than before.
Out of the few soldiers competing in the area, now more than 70 Mages were scouring the area.
But these were not the reinforcements that Colonel White had requested. These were the soldiers dealing with the great escape from Long Bay Correctional Facility.
The rebellion in that prison had already been controlled, and the army knew the exact number of escapees and infiltrators.
Of the 8 people who had left the prison a few hours earlier, only one had died while trying to escape. In contrast, all the others had managed to evade enemy pursuit.
That had resulted in casualties for the army, with the deaths of two Earth Sovereigns and at least 30 Mid-level and High-level Mages.
Several other soldiers were wounded, and army posts in cities near the area were already sending men to join the search.
Not only that, but all the cities in the province with army posts were already aware of the escape of the dangerous criminals and had already raised their defenses to make it difficult for people to enter their cities. 𝘦.𝘤𝘰𝑚
Snow Claw was on the loose! Soon, the army and various powers in the province would have to worry about him!
Amidst all this, the only good thing the army had accomplished that day was being in an interrogation room at Long Bay Correctional Facility.
Colonel Adams now faced a man and a woman, Sophia and Oscar, whom he thought he had met a few days ago.
However, the appearance and auras of these two were completely different from those of Vicente and Sarah.
“Are you Oscar and Sophia?” Colonel Adams asked with an ugly expression, seeing that he had been tricked into creating this whole situation.
“Yes, Colonel. While we were on our way to change posts in this prison unit, we were stopped by two enemies who threatened us with our families. We had no choice but to obey them.” Oscar said as he saw his father and grandfather standing behind Adams. “Unfortunately, we don’t know their identities. They wore masks before placing devices that mimicked our appearance.”
Oscar’s family looked extremely disappointed, although they understood that it couldn’t have been easy for Oscar to deal with all of this.
“All right, since you’re willing to talk about everything that happened, I’ll be merciful to you. I won’t consider you traitors to the kingdom, but rather the weak links responsible for this security breach.”
“What?” The two men behind Adams shouted as Sophia and Oscar sighed in relief.
“Colonel Adams, this is too much! Oscar only did what he could to save his family!” The young man’s grandfather shouted.
Adams wasn’t bothered by the old magician’s words and said. “It doesn’t matter. It’s a fact that Oscar allowed three dangerous prisoners to escape. Not only that, he doesn’t know anything about the bastard who made the escape at Long Bay Correctional Facility possible!”
Oscar’s two relatives hated hearing it but didn’t respond to Adams’ words.
“Father, Grandpa, don’t worry. I was prepared to die. Paying for what the Colonel will charge us will be much better. Don’t argue anymore.” Oscar said as Sophia felt she might be able to see her son again.
“What happened to Evan?” She asked, attracting the attention of the stressed men.
“Evan? The missing soldier?” Adams asked.
“Yes, he was with us when we came in for the shift change. The two criminals threatened him too, but unlike us, he was forced to enter the prison with them and help them inside.” 𝘳.𝑐ℴ
Adams didn’t know that yet. But with this information, everything could change!
‘So there was a soldier with them? Until now, I thought the three names of soldiers on our list were infiltrators!’ The Colonel clenched his fists, seeing that this was the way out for him.
“We have no information on this soldier at the moment. He’s among the missing refugees. However, with your information, we will try to reach him, Sophia. If we succeed, it might lead us to the real culprits of this security breach!”
…
Meanwhile, Vicente was still absorbing his third pentagram in the same cave as before. More than five hours had passed since he started this absorption.
Nova was still with him, watching the area so Vicente could safely finish his work. With each passing minute, however, she grew more concerned about him, feeling this absorption was taking too long.
Naturally, a higher-quality pentagram would take longer for any magician to absorb. If a person were in the 3rd-stage, the absorption of their third pentagram would be faster if it was of lower quality.
Since Vicente was absorbing something that only Sovereigns normally had, the process would take longer than what had happened to her and Eric earlier.
However, Vice had suffered through the whole process so far, and it didn’t look like he was at the end of it.
‘Will he be all right?’ She asked herself every ten minutes, not knowing how difficult it could be for someone with two Magic Gems to absorb such a pentagram.
