YM778.TV Chapter 292 Move
Under Lola\'s leadership, the next events went smoothly.
After they heard that they would be sent to a territory of a fellow human, they finally eased up. Furthermore, they were able to calm down after reuniting with their family or relatives that are on the other flying ships.
\'I hope we can safely complete this task…\'
While everyone was boarding the three available airships, Vincent couldn\'t help but be concerned about what was about to happen.
Once they leave the Isolating Barrier, they would be exposed to the outside world. Even after Lola\'s massive preparations, the beguiling formation core that she has would only allow the airships to become undetectable for 10 minutes.
It means that they have to use this Formation in the most crucial moment.
Nevertheless, this is much better than his plan if ever he\'s the only one who planned to save them.
"Vincent… Did you notice something off?"
His thoughts were suddenly interrupted as he heard Lola\'s voice.
"Something off?" Vincent tried recalling the past event but he could only shake his head.
"Hey, did you forget about the report? It was said that the prisoners should be about five thousand people… Why are there only less than four thousand here?"
"Ahh…"
Vincent finally recalled as he used his Soul Sense immediately. Of course, he can\'t count them exactly but he has a rough estimate of what five thousand souls feels like.
"You\'re right… Let\'s ask someone if they know something."
Vincent immediately found Yvette and called for her.
Yvette was a graceful woman he had encountered before. He can remember her as a brunette with pale skin and green eyes… It was such a shame that he couldn\'t see her right now.
"It\'s been a long time Vincent. I didn\'t think that you would become this strong… my knight…" Yvette said with a teasing voice.
Vincent was confused at first but he immediately recalled how he saved this young lady before and how he got his Honorary Knight title from her father.
"You\'re right… I\'m still an honorary knight of the Marshall Family. But this is quite confusing… I thought that the Marshall Family has connections with the Martial Arts Alliance… You guys were supposed to be protected by them, right?"
"Oh, you know that too?" Yvette was shocked but after thinking about it. It would indeed not be surprising considering how strong he had gotten. Vincent must have a backer that could give him such information.
"Ehem… You\'re correct. My Marshall Family is indeed connected to the Martial Arts Alliance. I only learned about this from my father after the Duke took control of the kingdom and left our county from his purge."
Vincent was silent as he allowed her to continue.
"However, the Barbarians don\'t seem to care about this at all… They decided to launch an attack and even our Celestial Being almost perished. She can only bring my father and my siblings to escape… I was left behind and captured."
Yvette explained what happened in a few words but Vincent could tell that it wasn\'t that simple.
\'Will there be a war between the Red Alliance and Martial Arts Alliance soon?\'
Vincent mused but as he remembered the real reason he called for her, he immediately brushed these thoughts aside.
"It must\'ve been difficult for you. It\'s a good thing that you managed to survive. Right, can you tell me what happened to the others? We received a report that there should be about five thousand prisoners being transported…"
After hearing this, Yvette bitterly smiled.
To be honest, she wasn\'t sure about what happened to them and could only speculate. This speculation is similar to the conclusion that Millie and the others had made.
She explained everything to Vincent including the lack of food given to them… They are all starving right now and they were just barely holding on thanks to the abundant source of mana around them. Although it can\'t fill their satiety, it is giving them some strength to continue moving.
Lola, who was listening from the side, couldn\'t help but clench her fist in anger.
Humans were possibly eaten by the barbarians!
Although they do not have proof, it is not impossible to happen since she already heard about this before.
However, it was only used to scare children… No one had really seen barbarians eating humans.
"They all deserve to die… We need to avenge them. Vincent, don\'t you think that we should annihilate the barbarians this time?" Lola suddenly asked Vincent as her anger rose.
"Calm down, Second Sister… We can talk about it after saving all these starving people… We\'ve also exhausted our strength right now."
"Ahhh… That\'s right."
Vincent wryly smiled as he knows that it was close to impossible to defeat the Red Alliance with just their combined strength. It must be remembered that these Barbarians were able to send Celestial Beings to the 15th Tower for the continuation of the Celestial Incarnation Project.
It means that still have secrets unknownst to them.
After about fifteen minutes of preparation, the airships are finally ready to leave. The 12 selected leaders were divided into three groups as they were tasked to control the airships\' command center.
Crack… Crack…
The Isolating Barrier Formation started breaking as Lola controlled it to disintegrate. If she did not do this, the airships wouldn\'t be able to pass through.
Boom!
An explosion that sounded like a blast of thunder occurred…
Just like that, the Formation Art that is worth over 500,000 gold coins was destroyed. This may sound a bit cheap if compared to other expensive things like the price of an Epic Weapon, but this is because Lola was the one who made it. If Vincent would decide to hire her to create a similar Formation Art, he might even be charged about ten million gold coins.
Haa~
Lola sighed as she saw her masterpiece break into many pieces.
Vincent saw this and could somehow understand how she feels. Nevertheless, he decided to remain silent as he ordered the leaders to control the airships and head in the direction of Lola\'s territory.
