Chapter 1067: Martial Saint Mountain & Letter Office (Part One)
This beautiful woman who was born in an ordinary civilian family showed shocking calm at this life-and-death moment. Right now, she even had a gorgeous smile on her face.
With a cold longsword in her hand, she said lightly, “General Sutton, don"t let the masters of the empire waste their time and energy on an insignificant woman like me…”
“Madam?” Sutton was surprised and asked, “But you alone…”
This woman slightly shook her head and showed her beautiful and gentle profile. She said, “My son has Mr. Alexander as his master, and he will be taken care of. I don"t have any regrets in this world. The warriors of Zenit shouldn"t escape from battle and lose their honor because they must protect an insignificant woman like me. Warriors, please battle to your hearts" content.”
After saying that, she cut her throat with the blade and committed suicide. Blood spilled around her.
A beauty pa.s.sed away just like that.
No one expected her to be so brave and make such a decision.
This young woman lived an ordinary life and didn"t leave any shocking stories. After she died, not many people would remember her aside from her family.
In fact, until death, she didn"t know that her son, Luffy, sunk into the depths of the ocean with [King Alexander] during the battle at the Bay of Byzantine, and no one knew if he was still alive.
This ordinary woman used the most shocking method to end her flower-like life. She knew that if she fell into the hands of Barcelonans, death would even be better than the treatment that she would get. The same went for all Zenitian women.
After freezing on the spot for a moment, Sutton sighed and struck the ground, creating a deep crater. Then, he carefully placed this woman"s corpse into it to give her a proper burial.
After doing that, Sutton jumped onto his wolf beast and shouted, “Let"s battle!”
This warrior turned into a beam of light and dashed toward the southern gate of St. Petersburg where the largest number of Barcelonans were at.
With solemn expressions, the about 60 members of the Martial Saint Mountain changed into armor and grabbed their swords. Then, they jumped off the mountain with anger flashing in their eyes and warrior energy flames burning around their bodies, and they headed toward the locations where the enemies were packed.
-Inside an ordinary-looking residence in St. Petersburg-
Compared to the people around this place who were frantic and running around, this residence was extremely quiet. More than a dozen warriors in black armor stood in the shadow in the courtyard, and they had caution written on their faces. Like statues, they merged with the darkness as they paid attention to what was going on outside.
Inside the main room, the magic lights were lit, and more than a dozen black-armored warriors were guarding it as well.
Many magic array paths that were hard to detect blinked on the green-stone-tiled floor, and this magic array connected to a secret chamber about 100 meters underground.
This secret chamber was about the size of a soccer field, and many cabinets, weapons, and various items were placed in here.
Also, there were about 300 warriors and mages who looked solemn and had powerful presences.
The 13 warriors standing at the foremost were unique. Their auras were deep, steady, and hidden. They were all Moon-Cla.s.s Elites who were masters in the region.
These people were facing a young man who was about 20 years old. This young man was thin, and he looked handsome with his long blond hair. With a calm and calculative aura around him, he read all the reports and lightly sighed.
Chapter 1067: Martial Saint Mountain & Letter Office (Part Two)
This young man was one of the leaders of the [Letter Office], the intelligence network that was rumored to be in every corner of the continent, and he was [Young Man] Modric.
This secret underground chamber was the [Letter Office]"s headquarters in St. Petersburg.
“Combine and activate the super-long-distance teleportation array. We need to move all the items and doc.u.ments back to Chambord. [Cold Blood Nine Eagles], you guys execute this plan and don"t make any mistakes.”
Modric"s calm gaze contained a shocking power. Although his strength wasn"t high, the Moon-Cla.s.s Elites before him all listened to his commands and respected his status.
“As you wish, Sir!”
The nine eagle-like Moon-Cla.s.s Elites single-kneeled and bowed at Modric respectfully. Then, they turned around and started to organize everything in the secret chamber with more than 100 warriors.
“Keke, Woods, and Burrent, you three manage and execute the [Hidden Thorn Plan]. Now that St. Petersburg being conquered is set in stone, we need to place many hidden thorns in the city. Even with Barcelonans occupying this place, the [Letter Office] needs to make sure that everything happening in the city will be pa.s.sed back to Chambord as soon as possible,” Modric said to three Moon-Cla.s.s Elites.
“As you wish, Sir!” The three Moon-Cla.s.s Elites single-kneeled and bowed.
“The [Hidden Throne Plan] is extremely dangerous. The family of every brother who is involved will get 1,000 gold coins as compensation. If a brother unfortunately… his family will receive three times the compensation,” Modric said slowly.
“Thank you for your generosity, Sir!” Everyone in the secret chamber kneeled in unison.
“Sir, the defense wall is broken on all four sides, and Barcelonans have charged into the city. Should we organize our forces and fight back?” a Moon-Cla.s.s Elite tried to suggest.
“No need.” Modric waved his hand and said, “We are an intelligence organization, not a troop. Every member of the [Letter Office] is precious. Now that the fall of St. Petersburg is irreversible, we don"t need to waste our strength. Besides…”
Modric paused and didn"t finish the last sentence. He wanted to say that the [Letter Office] only needed to be responsible to Alexander His Majesty. In terms of the Royal Family of Zenit…
Everyone was selfish to a certain degree, and Modric was no different. The [Letter Office] was grown to this size after the king spent a ton of energy, resources, wealth, and labor on it. Therefore, Modric didn"t want to see the organization drastically weaken for no reason.
“Let"s move!”
Modric ordered, and all the warriors and mages in the secret chamber started to take action in an orderly fashion.
Compared to the outside world, everyone in the secret underground chamber didn"t look nervous. They all looked focused and dedicated.
Modric returned to his chair, and he opened a scroll and started to read it. While frowning, he took in the information and pondered. It felt like all the shaking above the ground had nothing to do with what was happening here.
“Ya.s.sin, the offer that I gave you the other day is still valid. If you are willing to surrender, you can still become one of the top ten generals of Barcelona. Emperor Guardiola is very fond of you,” Demi-G.o.d Busquets of Barcelona said slowly.
After being surrounded by four demi-G.o.ds, it seemed like Emperor Ya.s.sin was going to be defeated for sure. It even looked difficult for him to get away.
