The atmosphere in the White Tower was tense and anxious.
For the first time, the Holy Disciples in holy robes lost their composure. They ran down the corridor in large strides, causing a series of messy noises.
In the past, the bishops would have reprimanded them for disrupting the order of the Sanctuary.
But now, even they were not in the mood to care about these trivial matters. Everyone who entered and exited the White Tower had solemn expressions. Looking at them, it was as if the end of the world had arrived.
Or rather, it was not far from it.
"The plague from Kraft has spread to Crosswise Town. We can't delay any longer. We must do everything we can to stop the spread of the plague.
We all know that it's an important food-producing area. If the plague breaks out there, it will be a huge disaster for Seth and the Klein Continent! "
"St. Callenbach has been completely destroyed. There's no response from the surrounding areas. According to the scouts we sent out, the place has been completely occupied by a group of Black Dragons.
They're even enslaving humans and trying to build a country! "
"What?
Black Dragons?
How many? "
"A thousand!"
"Impossible!
Even the Dragon Nation couldn't possibly have so many Giant Dragons!!
There had to be something wrong with it. Had they not found out what had happened over there yet?
Did no one escape from there?
What are you doing?
Why didn't you report such an important matter? "
"Not yet. We're currently contacting the Lord of the Dragons, hoping to get some information from him …"
"Look for those greedy Dragons?
I don't think that's a good idea!
Those bastards are demanding sky-high prices no matter what we do!
Instead of looking for them, we might as well work with Coruncia. I heard that the Country of Mages isn't in a good situation. If we can work with them … "
"Coruncia is too hostile towards us. As Mages, they aren't trustworthy at all!"
"Now isn't the time to discuss this. Can't you see that this has turned into a crisis for the entire continent?
We must unite and work together … "
"But I don't trust those Mages. Besides, how can you prove that they have nothing to do with this?
Besides, all of this happened in the Western Continent. Don't you think it's too much of a coincidence?
I suspect that those wizards have reached some kind of agreement with those evil monsters in the Underworld, and that's why they're here to cause trouble! "
"That's just your guess!
You don't have any evidence to prove that the Mages are colluding with the lower layer. Don't simply say such things. It will only bring trouble to our current situation if it gets out!
Besides, we lack reinforcements. Have you forgotten about the Undead Army at the Chaos Coast?
Most of our forces have been sent to stop those evil undead creatures. We don't have enough people to deal with things here!
If we can't unite all the forces that we can, then the Klein Continent will be finished! "
"Boom!!"
Just then, the doors were pushed open heavily, and the bustling hall fell silent at once. Everyone turned to the door subconsciously, only to find a clergy panting heavily before them. His face was pale as he stared at the people in the hall, and then shouted, "You're dead! You're dead! You're dead!
"I just received news that Faro City has completely fallen!"
Hearing this, the entire hall instantly fell into a dead silence. After a moment, a cacophony of noise instantly erupted.
"How did this happen?!"
Montgomery threw the letter in his hand on the desk, his face dark and livid.
He had never expected that there would be so many problems in the rear.
Montgomery heaved a sigh of relief after defending against the Undead Army's attack and forcing them to retreat.
However, he didn't expect that before he could send out the battle report of the Chaos Coast, Seth's report immediately made Montgomery's heart tense up again.
Plague, Dragon's Calamity … Looking at the letters on the table, Montgomery let out a sigh and rubbed his forehead.
He felt exhausted both physically and mentally. The excitement from the Undead Army's retreat was swept away after receiving this letter.
Instead, it was replaced with heavy worries and helplessness.
As the highest commander in the frontline, Montgomery knew what this meant.
If the rear wasn't stable, the frontline would also be unstable.
Not only would it be unstable, but it might also cause people to change their minds and anything could happen.
In fact, although the letter didn't say much, just the mention of the few disaster-stricken areas was enough to make Montgomery very depressed.
This was because a few of the frontline legions came from those regions. If they knew what happened to the rear, they definitely wouldn't stay here any longer. When that happened, his defensive line would be in a passive position.
At this thought, Montgomery waved his hand gently and tossed the letter into the blazing brazier. He gazed at the letter being devoured by the flames and turning into ashes in silence.
In fact, Montgomery didn't know what to do.
While Montgomery was troubled, in the Endless Port, Jenn was also considering the current situation.
"Even Vivian took action. This isn't normal."
Even though Jenn didn't receive any letters, he didn't need to.
He left Enoya in Parsus to gather information from the rear.
Therefore, as soon as the news arrived, Enoya passed it to Jenn immediately.
There was still a lot of discussion going on outside. But as one of the participants, Jenn naturally knew what was going on.
However, Vivian and Nabelius taking the initiative to take action was beyond Jenn's expectations.
Nabelius had a gentle personality. If others didn't provoke her, she wouldn't go out and cause trouble.
Although Vivian had a lively personality, she had inherited the dragon race's lazy bloodline. Usually, she just lay in her nest and slept soundly.
This time, Vivian was the only one who refused to participate in the trial for the son of the Demon King. It was only when Zayen participated in the end that she reluctantly moved. This showed how lazy this little fellow was.
And now, according to Enoya's description, Vivian actually wanted to expand and build the Black Dragon Kingdom. According to her temper, Vivian was too lazy to do such a thing.
And the reason why she did so was obviously because she had a plan.
"It's probably Nabelius's doing again."
Looking at the map in front of him, Jenn shook his head helplessly.
Although he didn't know what happened to Vivian, this kind of development was too familiar to Jenn.
Once Nabelius encountered any trouble, she would use her talent to change the line of fate and throw the troublesome part to Vivian.
In the words of Earth, "I'm unhappy, so I'll make you unhappy, and then I'll be happy."
However, due to Vivian's powerful strength, it was impossible for Nabelius to directly affect her fate. However, Nabelius could change the fate of others and make them cause trouble for Vivian.
Therefore, when Vivian was in the underworld, she would often encounter Demons that challenged her, courted her, or begged to cozy up to her … These inexplicable troublesome matters annoyed Vivian to no end.
And just when she was angry and frustrated, she would never think that the initiator of all this would obediently sit beside Jenn and pretend to be a good child.
If Jenn didn't notice Klein's intention before, he would probably have some doubts about it.
But after realizing Klein's purpose, Jenn immediately understood what happened. Klein must have targeted Nabelius and made her unhappy, so she went to torment Vivian.
Vivian, on the other hand, was so angry that she started to cause trouble. So, Nabelius must have gone to sleep with satisfaction …
"What should we do?
Master? "
Elyse couldn't understand what Jenn was talking about, but in the current situation, she had to ask.
After all, with such a huge incident happening behind them, was it still necessary for them to stay here or return to Passus first?
"Let's continue to stay here."
Upon hearing Elyse's question, Jenn quickly gave an answer.
In fact, from the current mess, Jenn had already figured out who the mastermind was.
It couldn't be any simpler. The only one who had the qualifications to stir up trouble among them was that bitch.
Even Zayen had guessed that Nabelius's side was just a cover. Even the current Demon King might not be able to break through the little fellow's ten-thousand-year-old tortoise shell. Even if Klein and Lilicia joined forces, they would not be able to chase the little princess out of her house.
Since the enemy was attacking the rear, they were definitely coming for him.
It seemed that he had to inform Enoya to get ready. As for the next step … Jenn rolled his eyes.
Since it was already chaotic, he might as well make it even more chaotic.
Lilicia wanted to win in the chaos, and he wouldn't sit still and wait for death.
Passively waiting for the situation to develop would only lead to falling into that bitch's trap. It seemed that he had to take action.
"Elyse."
At this thought, Jenn quickly made a decision. He looked up at Elyse and smiled.
"No matter what method you use, I want you to immediately spread the news we just received. It's best if everyone in the Chaos Coast knows about it."
As he spoke, Zayen pondered for a moment, then added another sentence.
"Of course, don't let anyone find out that we did it."
Hearing Jenn's words, Elyse was slightly surprised, but she didn't say much and just nodded.
"I understand, Master, I'll do it right away."
Then, Elyse replied.
