Death... and me
chapter-2360

Of course, Rean also warned Essefy. "Oh, right! You can come, but you will have to pay for your own teleport. Long-Distance Teleport Formation needs a lot of high-level Divine Stones, after all."

"No problem," said Essefy. "It's not like I'm poor or anything."

They quickly reached the teleport formation. After paying the fees and showing Gardo's permission, the Formations Masters immediately went to work. A few moments later, Rean, Kentucky, and Essefy teleported away.

***

Glondau Continent wasn't exactly considered an important strategic point in this war. Sure, there were devils here who also extracted the souls of living beings from their 'farms' for many years. However, from a point of attacking and defending, there wasn't much to be done in this region.

If you attacked and conquered it, this region wouldn't give you much of an advantage in attacking any other continent around it. If you defended it, you would be in a tight spot, too, since there weren't many good enough places to do so. No advantage for those who conquer it, no advantage for those who defend. Truly quite a useless continent when considering the war as a whole.

Of course, that is only when you consider the war. It doesn't mean the continent is bad. It is also part of the continents closer to the center of the Realm of Gods, which means a lot more Divine Energy and resources, just like most others.

This continent also happened to be where Zandolf and his army were located. His army wasn't exactly for the purpose of conquering anything but to give support to any other army that was attacking real good points. Or to offer help in case of a comeback of the devils in any of the points of interest.

Zandolf's army moved very slowly, taking its good share amount of time to conquer the region of Glondau, always keeping in mind that its soldiers might have to leave for somewhere else. That said, not even half of the continent was taken away from the devils yet, even though the devils' defense was quite poor.

Somewhere near the south of the Glondau Continent, there was a city called Contei. Zandolf and his army were stationed here for the time being, waiting to see if they should keep moving forward or wait to send soldiers somewhere else. It was also in this city that a long-distance teleport Formation was activated.

*Zush, zush, zush!*

A silver light appeared and disappeared, quickly revealing three figures. Naturally, these figures were none other than Rean, Kentucky, and Essefy.

The Formations Masters there weren't expecting anyone to come, so they quickly came forward to inquire. "Hello, sirs. What exactly do you need in Glondau?"

Rean smiled at them before asking. "Senior Gardo of the Demon Beast Races sent us here. We need to talk with senior Zandolf. Would you mind telling us where we can find him?"

"This..." One of the Formations Masters seemed to be troubled. "The thing is, we don't know. Senior Zandolf doesn't have much to do, so he is often off somewhere. As to where he is, we can't tell."

Essefy narrowed his eyes. "What if the Devils suddenly attack this place? Without a Divinity Realm expert to hold the fort, wouldn't you all be wiped out?"

The Formation Master shook his head. "There isn't really such a concern in this place. This continent holds no strategic value. If the devils truly attacked here, then we would be more than happy to welcome them since they would be reverting resources from other important fronts. Of course, if things go south, we can contact him through the communication system."

Rean nodded. "Alright then. Can you give me his number? I'll make a call."

A moment later, Rean received Zandolf's number and quickly used his real badge to triangulate Zandolf's position. Rean ended up finding him quite deep into the Devils' Territory, though. He had access to the maps and the places that had been conquered already. Zandolf was almost at the limit of what the communication towers could work.

Of course, as the Realm of Gods conquered more, the army of Formations Masters of the communication system, quickly put more communication towers on the back. Not that it mattered now.

Well, it wasn't like Rean could tell what Zandolf could or could not do. He just put these thoughts behind his mind and took out his badge from the army, which he had his fake name. Right after, he called Zandolf.

'Hello, Senior Zandolf?' Rean noticed that it connected and tried to speak to the guy.

*Bzzz-bzzzzzzzz... zzzzz what izzzzz-bzzzzzz. pied*

Rean narrowed his eyes. "He truly is at the very limit of the tower's range. It's going to be hard to talk to him like this."

Rean then turned his attention to Essefy and Kentucky. "I can't get a good signal from senior Zandolf, so there is no way we can talk through the communication badge now."

"No wonder Gardo sent us here," said Essefy. "After all, he could have simply passed us Zandolf's number, and we could talk through the communication badge. Seems like he knew that we wouldn't get our way."

Rean and Kentucky agreed with him. "What do you want to do now? Kenny and I know where to find him, thanks to some privileges in the communication system. However, he is a bit far away and quite deep into the Devils' Territory. If you think it is too dangerous, you can just go back to the Hrume Army."

Essefy shrugged his shoulders. "Even if he is that far, I don't think there is much danger. I've checked this continent's situation, and it could be said to be one of the safest between the areas that are going through the war. Let's just go already."

Rean smiled. "Then that's fine. Zandolf is a little far, but Contei City is at the front lines of the war ongoing on this continent... although there isn't much of a war going on here. Anyway, we can depart from here. Let's go."
