Chapter 167: Opening the Heavenly Eye

They were said to be the navy, but actually they were the army being transported here by ships, otherwise they wouldn’t be organized as an army.

Due to the rush, there were not many warships mobilized, instead there were more ships transporting troops.

However, with the forces of five whole armies, plus external pressure, this was something that Frank couldn’t handle.

There are now four armies left, dealing with Grand Duke Luxembourg who is trying to clear us out, while also guarding against the sea, the troops are definitely not enough.

"What should we do? Hold on, hold on for me!" Frank roared, "Our reinforcements are coming in continuously, we’re not afraid of them!"

"Yes!"

The call was hung up on the other end.

"It seems you still doubt the servants of our master," the mayor said devoutly. "They have come out, but what are big ships and cannons? They are just a bunch of useless scrap iron."

"You still don’t understand the power of the gods."

"I dare not question the master…" Frank bowed.

"Report!"

Just then, a communication soldier arrived at the door, shouting, "Young master Whyte is back!"

"Hurry up and let him come in!" Frank shouted.

Soon, Whyte arrived at Frank’s temporary command center with the black-robed priest, Sophia, and Jenny.

When the mayor saw Sophia, his eyes lit up. He didn’t even look at the black-robed priest; his gaze towards Sophia was full of greed.

"Sophia curled up in fear."

These people’s protection had reached a disgusting level, but she didn’t know what their purpose was.

Is it to raise ransom money for military expenses, and then continue fighting?

Speaking of which, what is this war all about, and what are these monsters?

"Um…," Sophia cautiously said, "My family doesn’t have much money…"

"Hahaha, so cute," the mayor licked his lips.

Sophia shivered, wondering if the chubby middle-aged man was trying to do something else before asking for ransom.

Help, he’s so old, so ugly, so fat!

"Quick, bring her to the best room, protect her well, take good care of her. Nobody is allowed to neglect her. Provide top-notch protection. If anyone lays a finger on her, be prepared to face the ghouls!" the mayor ordered.

"Do as he said." Frank was also in a very good mood.

Soon, Sophia and Jenny were taken away.

"Father, sorry, I didn’t catch that Elizabeth. At that time, we were all protecting Miss Sophia…" Whyte said nervously.

Crack!

Frank immediately slapped him, "Useless trash."

"I asked him to do this." The black-robed priest stood up for Whyte at this moment.

"The orders of the adults must be correct, it’s this useless guy who didn’t execute properly!" Frank said, "Tell me, what happened!"

Soon, Whyte explained what had just happened.

"Terry failed?" Frank felt his blood pressure rising, "Damn it! Do you know one of them is the son of a duke, and the other is a princess of the empire? Letting Terry assassinate them alone? Who knows how many experts they have around them!"

"What status do Karoso and Teresa have, one being groomed as the heir and the other the empire’s only princess, how can you compare them to someone like you, a useless person?"

"Father, I’m sorry…" Whyte bowed his head.

"Hmph, because you brought Sophia back, I won’t hold it against you," Frank coldly snorted, "Lead the troops to capture Karoso and Teresa for me, they are still useful, they must survive!"

"Yes!" Whyte stood at attention.

"The Master will assist you." The figure in the black robe showed a slight smile, "I will lend you a large number of ghouls, skeletons, warlocks… you will see, your army will keep growing, this is a blessing for those common folks, our Master will grant them eternal life."

"Thank you for the opportunity, my Master!"

……

Sophia and Jenny were not separated, they both seemed to understand that if they wanted to manipulate Sophia fully, Jenny was a good choice.

Kind-hearted Sophia would not let anything happen to Jenny.

"Jenny, what should we do? Why are they teaming up with monsters? How come these monsters are so similar to the dungeon riot from back then?" Sophia asked anxiously.

"According to the records, it does seem similar to that riot…" Jenny felt like she was not a good bodyguard at all, not being able to do anything, "The difference is, back then, the attempt to conquer the dungeon failed, the troops couldn’t stop the monsters, this time… they seem to be working together."

"There was no mention of an eighth-tier dungeon appearing before this, otherwise the whole city should have been on high alert. I suspect, this dungeon riot was caused deliberately, maybe using some ritual to forcefully open the eighth-tier dungeon."

"Hmm, how will they treat us?" Sophia sat down on the ground, "Why do I feel like I’m also part of them, that Lord Karoso sprayed me with a machine gun, bombed me with cannons, they desperately protected me, and many people died for me…"

With that thought, Sophia shivered.

Either being bombarded to death, or being with monsters, why do I have to encounter such a thing!

"Do you think they want a ransom? War is very expensive." Sophia looked at Jenny.

"I don’t know…" Jenny looked innocent, "You don’t seem that valuable, otherwise it wouldn’t be me protecting you."

Sophia: …

……

"Fire!"

Boom, boom, boom…

A group of ghouls were blown sky-high by the cannon fire.

Here, Karoso currently cannot get any useful information from the players because in the original plot, neither Karoso nor Teresa appeared here.

In order to successfully join forces with Teresa’s army, they must fight hard to get there.

Karoso wielded a Sword Shield, leading the charge alongside Teresa, greatly boosting morale.

"There aren’t too many monsters around," Teresa slashed down a ghoul with her sword. "They seem to be gathering in one direction."

"I think they might be heading towards Sophia. Earlier they were protecting that girl, which seemed suspicious. She must have some special abilities, like divine attributes, for that seventh-tier to sacrifice himself to shield her from cannon fire," Karoso said. "If we attack aggressively, they will probably tighten their protection. It makes sense for them to redeploy troops from this side."

"How should I put it, even though you are only guessing, it’s a reasonable guess. But your reasoning skills are too strong. You saw someone mention protecting that girl and immediately ordered to open fire, I didn’t even react." Teresa complained.

"So, you need to read more books," Karoso said seriously. "Don’t be fooled by my appearance, I often read detective novels and have practiced decision-making skills under pressure."

"Is that so?" Teresa looked at Karoso with suspicion. "I always feel like you have a special insight."

"Do my sincere eyes make it seem that way to you?"
