With the collapse of the gap between the two worlds opened by Feng Yuchen, the members of the masquerade ball also began to retreat. The first step of the strategy had begun. Next, they would wait for news from the two pillars, 'Thousand Transformations' Sudenan and 'Adjudicator of Defiance'. They would preserve their strength and fight until now. Fundamentally speaking, the strength of the masquerade ball had not weakened at all.
"I really don't understand. The alliance leader clearly has great strength, so why does he allow the enemy to rampage around our territory unscrupulously?"
"Shut up. What do you know? The alliance leader is scheming, do you understand?
With the smallest casualties in exchange for the greatest victory, the alliance leader is taking pity on our lives … "
"That's right, that's right. You are really too ignorant. The alliance leader is protecting us in disguise. In order to let us see the establishment of a new world, he is willing to bear everything himself. Don't you understand?"
"Alright, everyone stop talking. Lord Thousand Transformations and Lord Staff Officer have already rushed to the battlefield. We will temporarily rest here and wait for the decisive battle. The day the alliance leader returns will be the day we can hold our heads high."
"…"
The members of the masquerade ball who were retreating began to discuss. Although a small portion of them were unwilling to be passive in this situation, most of them still firmly obeyed Feng Yuchen's orders. Putting themselves in his shoes, they believed that Feng Yuchen was definitely right.
"…"
After erasing the passage, the Mist Warriors immediately revealed expressions of joy. They had once again sent the Sacrificial Snake into the Eternal Trap. As long as it was in this trap, the Sacrificial Snake would not be able to come out, and everything would return to its normal state.
"Will the enemy disappear so easily?"
At this moment, 'Rider of Ceremonial' Camuxin came to 'Knot of Deafening Might' Zoffy's side and asked.
"I'm not sure, but we did indeed destroy the passage. According to the information 'Bone Collector' Rami found, when the Sacrificial Snake was trapped in the Eternal Trap, he and his minions made a clear calculation and made preparations.
That's right, a few thousand years ago, the mystic technique was activated in an unexpected place. From that moment onwards, using [Tyrant] as the Origin Body, in order to obtain enough 'Power of Existence' to achieve this goal, it would probably waste tens of thousands of people, so it would take a long time to prepare … The Sacrificial Snake was exiled after obtaining the [Flag] as a clone.
The two clues shared by the Snake of Sacrifice (Tyrant 1 and Tyrant 2) were manipulated by the Great Imperial Witch Hecate, who passed down the Oracle on her behalf. Hecate also taught her the Freedom Style that allowed her to use the Snake of Sacrifice's power on behalf of the Snake of Sacrifice — Royal Poem.
Even after the Snake of Sacrifice was trapped in that trap for so long, it probably hasn't stopped its creation. It must have thought of a way to pass through the gap between the two worlds during this long period of time, "Zofee said with furrowed brows.
"He's not dead?
Isn't that right, Zoffy? "Shana immediately grabbed Zoffy's arm after hearing the analysis.
"I can't be sure. He might be dead, but he might also appear. But I don't think the Black and White Sentinel is an idiot. Your Excellency Zoffy, you should be careful.
Things shouldn't be that simple … "Camusin said.
"Hmm, it's better to be careful …" Bisimoth said.
“！！！”
"This is bad, Your Excellency Zoffy. The headquarters in Zurich has been attacked. The leader is Shapeshifting Hudenan, and there are many powerful patrols. Members of the Masquerade Ball have appeared in Tokyo, Shanghai, and North America!"
At this moment, a Mist Warrior ran over with a pale face. He was a messenger.
"How is that possible?!
Didn't Shapeshifting Hudenan leave this place with Lancer? They're heading towards the gap of the Two Realms, "Will Amina said.
She saw it with her own eyes. Not only her, but everyone must have seen it too, right?
"Your Excellency Zoffy … There's no one in the Dawnstar Palace that the Masquerade Ball is guarding. All the Red World Apostles suddenly hid and fled. Should we give chase?"
At this moment, the Vanguard Officer rushed up to Zoffy and asked.
"Could it be … the Masquerade Ball has given up on the Dawnstar Palace? Everything they did was to lure us here, and then ambush us from the rear to catch us off guard?"
Cold sweat instantly dripped down Zoffy's face. What a brilliant scheme. They clearly had such great power, yet they still used such a roundabout strategy.
"Everything has been explained clearly. Now, if we return, the rear might be saved, but if we retreat now, it will give the Black and White Sentinel the chance to summon his true body. Since he wants to return, he must appear in this place. This is the best time to stop him," Camusin said in a deep voice.
Zoffy's expression turned grim.
Zofee's expression couldn't help but turn heavy. If they were to stay here, then the headquarters in Zurich and the branches around the world would suffer a heavy blow. All the foundations they had built over the years would be disrupted.
However, if they returned to protect their companions, what would the Black and White Sentinel, the Ritual Snake, do?
On one hand, it was their companions and base, and on the other hand, it was the critical phase of the world's future. Which one should they choose?
"Trust in our companions in the rear. We Mist Warriors are vessels that have abandoned everything. Protecting this world is our duty, and dying for it is our honor. We can't leave this place. The Gates of Hell have been attacked just like us, and the enemy's position has also fluctuated. The Witches of Hell haven't retreated yet, so it seems that they've decided to stay. I'm sure they believe that the Ritual Snake, the Black and White Sentinel will return," Camusin said.
"All of us have been taught a harsh lesson by him. Choose our companions or choose our mission. We have two choices," Marjorie said. However, she was secretly impressed by Feng Yuchen's schemes.
Zoffy didn't say anything. It was obvious that he had chosen his mission.
Companions or mission, which was more important?
At this moment, many of them had an answer in their hearts.
However, Zofee could only choose one thing: his mission, to carry out the mission of maintaining world peace. In the end, what Kamsyn said was correct. They were people who had long since abandoned everything and became vessels. They didn't need any hesitation to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the world.
However —
There was one thing that Camusin didn't say. In this battle, Feng Yuchen had chosen his companions and was willing to risk his own life for his companions.
This was a battle of mission, as well as a battle to protect their companions.
