After the guests and hosts had their fill of excitement, Lord Zhen took his men and left. When everyone left the 7th Bugle Call, the smile Ling Lan originally had on her face, instantly vanished.
“Boss, is something wrong?” Tian Fang, who was originally happy that they had successfully gotten into the Lawless Lands, felt his heart sink so he immediately asked Ling Lan.
“You think Lord Zhen is actually going to help us?” Ling Lan half-smiled.
“You’re saying they have other plans?” After all, Tian Fang was someone who had been in the mercenary world for many years so he understood something was off instantly when he heard Ling Lan’s insinuating words.“In the Lawless Lands, the 13 Lords have always deemed this place as their territory. How could they just kindly let a new faction join their ranks? Especially when that faction clearly has the muscle to keep themselves there.” Ling Lan slowly closed her eyes. The battle had only just begun. Not only did they have to face the pressure given to them by the 13 Lords, they also have to be careful of plots against them. It was going to be more difficult than being in the Federation’s military.
However, what did that matter? Ling Lan quickly opened her eyes and a sharp gleam flashed past her eyes. No matter how difficult the path ahead was going to be, she was still going to dominate this place and become the only king. Only then, would they be qualified to go against the Federation’s military and take revenge for her father.
“I’ll leave this place to you, ” said Ling Lan.
“Boss, you’re leaving?” Tian Fang asked in surprise.
“Our window of opportunity is closing. I need to make every second count.” Ling Lan looked towards a distant land. Perhaps there was where her opportunity laid. However, it might also be her death…
“Little White!” Ling Lan called indifferently.
Suddenly, in the space behind her, a white little ball suddenly jumped out and into Ling Lan’s arms.Ling Lan caressed Little White’s head and said softly, “I’ll have to trouble you in a bit.”
“RAWR (Don’t worry master, I will definitely help you fight!)” Little White used his tentacles to bump into its chest as if it was signalling to Ling Lan to leave it all to it.
“No matter what happens, try your best to keep them at bay until I return,” Ling Lan left those words and then disappeared from sight.
Two people were already waiting for her in the plaza of the spaceport below the 7th Bugle Call.
Ling Lan looked at Luo Lang indifferently. “Are you good?”
Luo Lang kept his head down and replied softly, “I already took the second generation Nuwa agent. There aren’t any big issues.”
“I’m not asking about that. I’m asking whether you can suppress the issue with creating the poisonous mist.” said Ling Lan plainly.
Luo Lang’s issue with his new combination could fool others, but could not fool her.
Luo Lang had a struggling look on his face. “I-I will try my best.”
“If you ever need help, just ask.” Ling Lan looked directly at Luo Lang as if she was looking right through him. The penetrative look made Luo Lang put down his head involuntarily.
“Let’s go!” Seeing Luo Lang’s reluctance to tell her, Ling Lan looked away and said those words. Then, she disappeared from their sights.
Li Lanfeng smiled as he looked towards Luo Lang with a knowing look. “If you don’t deal with it soon, it’s going to bite you in the ass in the future…”
After saying that, he also disappeared.
Luo Lang’s expression wavered for a moment before turning completely calm. Then, he followed in Ling Lan and Li Lanfeng’s footsteps and disappeared too.
On the deck, Tian Fang looked at the place where Ling Lan had disappeared for a short while. Then, he suddenly smiled bitterly. “Luo Yang, I feel pretty useless.”
“We can only sit and watch as the young men rush towards the front lines and fight for their lives. Us, on the other hand, just stay in the back and do nothing.” Luo Yang sighed.
“I just feel that I’ve lived 50 some years for nothing…” Tian Fang turned around and walked towards the exit.
“Where are you going?” Luo Yang immediately followed him and asked loudly.
“The training room to train. I can’t be left behind by too much. Otherwise, I won’t be able to have the face to stand on the same floor as them,” replied Tian Fang without even turning his head.
“You’ve already trained enough recently,” Luo Yang said helplessly. Ever since they knew about Luo Lang and Li Lanfeng’s strength, Tian Fang’s training showed signs of being somewhat masochistic.
“That’s not enough. I already asked Luo Lang. When Boss finished training them, they were all sprawling on the floor half-dead, requiring Boss to pull them back to their beds.” When Tian Fang heard it in the past, he felt these children were masochists. Training shouldn’t be done like that. Did they not understand what it meant by moderation? However, now, Tian Fang realized that only such brutal training could make them reach such heights. Only after training until they were half-dead would they be able to not lose against those heaven-defying individuals from the Lawless Lands.
He always dreamed of being a figure that could shake a city just by a step of his foot. In the past, he believed his training philosophy of training in moderation. However, now, he felt that he had wasted his youth doing nothing. He was also frustrated at himself for not knowing someone like Ling Lan sooner. If he had met Ling Lan earlier, perhaps he could have done more in his past. However, it wasn’t too late to realize it. Boss just said that the battle had just begun. There were more brutal battles waiting for them ahead. So, he must quickly increase his strength until he was the one protecting, not the other way around.
Tian Fang just headed directly into the training room and tossed Luo Yang the responsibility of keeping the 7th Bugle Call running.
Luo Yang had no qualms about that as he understood Tian Fang’s concerns. After all, Tian Fang was already a domain realm master, it was just that he wasn’t a titled one yet. If he could somehow become a titled domain realm warrior, he would definitely be of use to Boss. Thus, he didn’t say anything and took over all the responsibility required to be looked over on the 7th Bugle Call.
After returning to his own palace, before Lord Zhen could sit, a servant, who served him, came to greet him, “Lord Zhen, the other lords have been waiting for you on the line.”
“Troublesome,” Lord Zhen said helplessly. In the next second, he appeared behind the desk in his home office.
Lord Zhen sat down and pushed down on his table to turn on his optical supercomputer. A virtual screen appeared in front of him.
These technologies were quite commonly used to communicate in the center area of the Lawless Lands. However, only the higher-ups of the factions could have such things and they were very expensive.
Despite all the factions hating the fact that the nations closed themselves off from the Lawless Lands, these factions in the Lawless Lands still couldn’t do anything about it. After all, the Lawless Lands didn’t have the capability or resources to manufacturing such devices. If they wanted one, they could only get ripped off by those nations who put sky-high prices. They also had to split a portion of money to the mercenary world that helps in the procurement of these devices.
The 13 Lords and factions in the Lawless Lands had complicated feelings towards the mercenary world.
Although they were grateful for the mercenary world for creating a door to the outside world for them, at the same time, they also hate the mercenary world. That was because when the mercenary world helped them procure abundant and advanced supplies from the outside world, they were also sucking their wealth dry.
In reality, the relationship between the 13 Lords of the Lawless Lands and the three kings of the mercenary underworld, wasn’t on good terms.
Soon, seven or eight silhouettes appeared on the screen in front of him. If anyone saw who was on the screen, they would definitely gasp in fear. It was because they were looking at the lords of the 13 Lords.
One elderly man with a head full of white hair and a long flowing beard was the first to speak. He asked, “Lord Zhen, what do you think about the person the Rainbow Raiders sent this time?” This was Lord Kun of the 13 Lords.
“His strength isn’t bad. He has the space domain concept and can fight above his stage,” Lord Zhen said in a serious tone. “But, he’s too young and a bit hasty.”
