Chapter 129: The Oath of the Oathkeeper! (Extra Chapter—Requesting Monthly Votes)

(An extra chapter added, offered as tribute, begging for monthly votes.)

Antonius Wall, a fortress.

As the only remaining relatively intact stronghold along this wall, it was in truth nothing more than a leaky ruin.

“Bring him in.”

Deng Ken sat at the main seat and gave a calm order; soon, his Personal Guard Karl brought forward Dreist the First, a young officer who was only seventeen this year—he would be sent out for advanced training in the second half of the year, then lead troops independently, starting as a centurion.

The topic of discussion was the allocation of the spiritual vein, for this vein was immense—the largest spiritual vein in the Four Directions City at present.

Back then, communism swept the world, dividing it into two major camps: the Red Tsar Realm led the communist bloc, followed by the Red Huaxia Realm. The affairs of the world shifted unpredictably; after the Red Tsar Realm dissolved into the Tsar State, the alliance led by the United States became dominant, harboring ambitions to unify the Saha World.

In an instant, the ground sank deeply inward around the two figures; the massive recoil force sent both sides reeling backward, with Qi Qin retreating farther than the other.

“Master Qiangba, displaying divine powers is not the way of the Dharma—I beg you to desist.” Master Ciren’s face was etched with anguish.

“Your humble servant greets Prince Hongquan!” Liansheng’s face showed surprise—he never expected the crown prince, so often praised in court, would be as foolish as Chancellor Chao; indeed, one cannot judge a man by his appearance.

Since the Yang family arrived, it had been three days; they had already heard of the arrival of the Lord’s household and other factions. Because Yang Bufan still did not fully trust Su Yi, the Yang family had not stayed in Changchun Town but came straight to this icy pool to first probe its depths.

Li Bai’s figure blurred into a lingering afterimage as he broke out in a random direction. His Taibai Sword glowed golden-yellow—the strongest sword technique he could currently wield: “Flying Dragon Soaring in Heaven.” The tip of the blade targeted the one weakness common to most beasts: the lower abdomen.

After receiving that chilling gaze, Manager Bi knew he had no choice. He endured the searing pain of his shattered chest—bones broken beyond count—and followed the young master’s wishes to carry out the lie.

Awei and Fan were assigned to the same room; at night, Awei heard intermittent footsteps. Those pacing outside the door moved in haste—clearly, the situation regarding Malotte was changing rapidly; even the composed diplomat would likely lose a night’s sleep.

A flicker of ghostly flame flashed in the pupil; the Third General suddenly extended his claw—the skeletal arm elongated violently, transforming into a streak of golden light as it struck Qin Yang with full force.

“No need for courtesy.” Tian Feng had just fallen on his ass and was in no mood to be polite; he replied stiffly.

Bai Jiu glanced at Mo Xuan and shared the appraisal panel for the Wu Zhong Fruit with him.

Due to the uproar caused by the battle for the Wind Crystal Iron Vein this afternoon, Mo Xuan and Bai Jiu had now become well-known figures within the game.

“Stay put, and don’t come out until I need you.” Chu Yu muttered softly, ignoring the objects, his face filled with revulsion.

The man’s mouth emitted a string of sounds—as if speaking—but nothing intelligible came out.

After a day’s journey, Luoyang Wharf came into view; colorful banners fluttered overhead. Inspector Dunshi of Luoyang, accompanied by a large group of local gentry, waited at the wharf, beating drums and ringing bells to welcome Cai Cong’s fleet.

The current Test Site No. 2 was seventy to eighty kilometers from Tengshe Village; though distant, the distance did not warrant building a teleportation array, and constructing one inside Test Site No. 2 risked destruction by “dangerous experiments.” Thus, Mo Xuan and Bai Jiu traveled to Test Site No. 2 on foot.
