Chapter 280: Chapter 161: So Be It, If I’m the Villain_Part 2

“Your task for the next month is quite simple: assist our Beast Training Legion by holding positions outside Midwood City, preventing the spread of necromantic power from within. Our reinforcements should arrive in a month’s time.”

“What???” After the middle-aged Beast Trainer finished speaking, an Asian man in armor who had entered the Breakthrough Secret Realm widened his eyes and said, “Are you stating that within a month, the Beast Training Legion will not launch an attack on Midwood City???”

Hearing his words, the group of Beast Trainers who chose Faction 1 fell silent.

“Indeed, at this moment we are but a remnant force, lacking even a single Level 3 Beast Trainer. According to intelligence, the Beast Training strength in Midwood City is no weaker than ours.”

“Additionally, other regions are engaged in combat as well, leading to a severe shortage of manpower. It will be at least a month before we can expect reinforcements.”

A moment later.

The Beast Trainers from Faction 1 all had a sinking feeling, realizing they had stepped into a huge trap.

After the middle-aged Beast Trainer left, the nine Beast Trainers from various countries exchanged glances. Among them, England’s Princess of Light and the Light Knight Corps immediately caught the attention of the other five.

“You are the princess of the Golden Generation!” A person from Neon only then noticed the princess and exclaimed in surprise.

The princess, pleased to see herself teamed up with her three companions, was overjoyed, as they had entered to support her breakthrough. However, upon seeing the other five, she furrowed her brows.

“Hello, are you all fourth-generation Beast Trainers?”

“No, I am a third-generation Beast Trainer, a professional medic,” the Neon Beast Trainer said. “I didn’t pay much attention to levels before; only recently did I think about entering a Level 1 Breakthrough Secret Realm.”

“I am too,” a black-skinned girl spoke up. “I am a historian… Oh, what a fortunate age this is. This era is one with rather vague historical records; there might be great discoveries to be made.”

“Fortunate?!” A tall man in golden armor said, “Didn’t you hear? The person from the Beast Training Legion said it would be 30 days before there might be an attack on Midwood City.”

“By that time, it’ll be too late. Our mission would have long since been a failure.”

After some discussion, it dawned on the desperate Golden Generation from England’s Light Knight Corps that their five teammates were all third-generation Beast Trainers—not fourth-generation—and were relatively unknown in the third generation, barely considered combatants.

Regarding the breakthrough task, they had little to say. The type that would be best if they could break through, but it did not matter if they couldn’t; as long as they could safely return, it was fine.

Of course, now that they were in the same faction as the Golden Generation’s powerhouse, they planned to follow the Golden Generation’s commands entirely. If they could win easily and level up, who would wish to fail?

“I knew it couldn’t be so easy to borrow the strength of the Beast Training Legion,” the princess said with a headache. “But no matter, according to the description from that Legion Beast Trainer, the necro forces in Midwood City aren’t terribly large either.”

“The strongest Necromancer there is probably only at a Level 2 standard, just the normal difficulty of a Level 1 Breakthrough Secret Realm. No need for too much concern.”

“As long as we can persuade this remnant of the Beast Training Army to cooperate with us in the attack, there is still a great chance of seizing Midwood City.”

ID Knight of Glory mused, “Their task is to hold positions outside Midwood City, to prevent the escape of necromantic power. Convincing them to initiate an assault might not be easy, even if we demonstrate power beyond that of a normal Level 1 Beast Trainer.”

“The only way to get them to attack first is if necro forces from Midwood City begin to spread. They would be forced to launch an early attack to stop them, in line with their mission.”

The Neon Beast Trainer said, “That makes sense. So should we send an undercover agent into Midwood City, deliver intelligence of the Beast Training Empire’s plan to annihilate them, and provoke a battle between the two powers?”

“Then, we can assist the Beast Training Army in capturing Midwood City, allowing us to quickly complete the task.”

ID Moonlight Knight said, “Speaking of which, how many trialists are there this time? Just nine in total? There better not be people who chose Faction 2 because if that’s the case, there could be some additional variables in this faction conflict.”

“Shouldn’t be that serious, right?” the black girl said, “Who in their right mind would choose a camp, boredom hit hard or what?”

…

Inside Midwood City.

At this moment, Lu Ran, shrouded in a black robe from who knows where, was indeed feeling rather annoyed.

Around him were a dozen other Beast Trainers also draped in black robes, and he had no clue if they were native residents or fellow Trialists.

Right now, Lu Ran was following this group of black-robed Beast Trainers, listening to a gloomy young man’s attempt at indoctrination.

“You have made the most correct choice in your lives!”

“Flesh is weak, the soul is eternal! The path of the undead, immortal and indestructible.”

“In these chaotic times, becoming a Necromancer will be the only hope for survival.”

“I, Gao Li, will next teach you all techniques to awaken necromantic power.”

“If your aptitude is exceptional enough, there is a great chance to shed the limitations of flesh, and exist in the world as a Spiritual Body!”

“In one month, the Divine Envoy of the Divine Sect will arrive in Midwood City, and among you, the ones who excel the most at Necromancy will have the chance to be taken to the Divine Selection Land by the Divine Envoy, and receive the blessings of the divine.”

Damn, sounds exactly like a villainous Cult! Lu Ran mumbled internally.

“The soul, like the spirit, is the fundamental power possessed by every living being. The decayed Empire calls such magnificent power evil purely out of fear of a powerful force that could replace their authority.”

“However, the practice of Necromancy is indeed perilous, and not every Pet Beast is suitable for developing Soul Power. If a Pet Beast does not have sufficient Soul Talent and the Beast Trainer recklessly learns Necromancy, it is extremely dangerous for the Beast Trainer.”

“Before teaching you all Necromancy, I will need to test your Pet Beasts’ Soul Talent. If there’s no talent, then I am sorry, but for your safety, I will not impart Necromancy to you. You may have to wait until you find a suitable new Pet and then further your practice.”

“Eh?” Lu Ran was startled, “Damn, he even considers the welfare of his followers. This Preacher seems like a pretty decent guy.”

As he spoke, the Preacher took out a pitch-black stone and said, “This is a Soul Suppressing Stone. It can temporarily extract the soul of a living being from its body. If the Pet Beast’s Soul Talent is good enough, it can stay outside in its soul form for longer and might even possess formidable combat abilities just with its soul.”

“It’s like getting a taste of the undead form in advance.”

“But if the Soul Talent is poor, after the soul extraction, the soul will be like a fish out of water and will quickly be forced back into the body.”

“Next, I will use this to test everyone’s Pet Beasts’ necro talent.”

[Name]: Soul Suppressing Stone

[Level]: Rare

[Introduction]: A peculiar stone imbued with special power that can temporarily extract the soul of a living entity without harming the soul or the body itself.

Lu Ran used Data Eye to take a look at the Soul Suppressing Stone; the other party wasn’t lying.

This stone is great! Wonder if Reaper has them! But Xia Country doesn’t have this kind of resource at all, must find a chance to snatch a few to take back!
