Chapter 706 - Reinforcements

Currently, a large number of the main forces of the Holy Court had been destroyed, and the completion rate of the main mission had risen to S-level as expected.

The plan had been executed perfectly.

Then, the next step was..

A hint of greed flashed through Fang Heng's eyes.

He would not rest until all 10 remaining pillars of light in the city were destroyed. Then, he would destroy the entire Holy Court in the city.

He only needed to go through with this step. He only needed to use the Book of the Dead's conversion ability to inject death energy into it and detonate all the remaining ones!

He still required more than ten Tier 1 crystals before leveling up to Level 20. He estimated that he would be able to complete it smoothly halfway.

After that, he would run straight to the headquarters and destroy the Holy Court. This way, he estimated that he would be able to level up the mission to SSS-level contribution points and get the highest reward.

After roughly considering the next plan, Fang Heng hid his body and carefully retreated.

Returning to the street behind the campus, Fang Heng skillfully opened a manhole cover in the alley.

He did not jump into the sewer immediately. Instead, he raised his head and looked into the sky.

The bat-shaped Venerate landed in front of Fang Heng and knelt on one knee.

"Marquis, we just received news from the clan that Count Kitto was gathering a team of vampires in the territory not long ago."

Fang Heng could not help but frown and interrupted, "Kitto? Who is it?"

Seeing Fang Heng's puzzled gaze, Venerate looked around, lowered his voice and explained to Fang Heng, "Count Kitto is the count of our Alta clan. He has always been placed with high hopes. He is the right candidate to inherit the next Marquis."

"After he learned that the central building of the vampires had been destroyed, he immediately gathered all the vampires in the nearby area. He will come to Victoria City and..." Venerate stammered, "Support our Victoria City and kill the remaining forces of the Holy Court."

Fang Heng understood when he met Venerate's somewhat evasive gaze.

He knew how to choose the perfect timing. Now that he knew that the central building and the people of the Holy Court had been destroyed, he came to steal the credit.

Fang Heng pursed his lips.

"Also..."

Venerate's expression was a little awkward.

"What?"

Venerate said carefully, "Marquis, Count Kitto told me to tell you to immediately go to the Eastern region of Victoria City to meet him. Do not act rashly before he arrives and wait for his orders."

Fang Heng's eyelids twitched slightly.

In the world of vampires, the rank of a Marquis was higher than that of a count. However, considering the factions of the clans and the areas under their jurisdiction, he, who claimed to be a hermit, did not have much authority.

Although Kitto's arrogance was foolish, it was also reasonable.

In other words, Victoria City was a border city. Originally, the city did not have any high-tier vampires guarding it. Otherwise, Fang Heng would have needed to spend some effort to gain control of Victoria City.

Thinking about it, Fang Heng asked, "Count Kitto's original words should not be like this, right?"

Venerate lowered his head. "I'm very sorry, Marquis. Please believe that I'm on your side. But if Count Kitto comes to Victoria City, as a member of the clan, I'm afraid that I..."

Fang Heng understood.

The pressure from the vampires.

Venerate lowered his head again and said, "I'm sorry, Marquis."

Fang Heng waved his hand and said, "I understand. Continue to investigate before Kitto comes. Keep an eye on Kitto's movements and all the Holy Court teams in the city. Report to me if there are any unusual movements."

"Yes, Marquis!"

Fang Heng watched as Venerate continued to fly toward the sky above the city.

He did not care about seizing power. He only hoped that Kitto would not cause trouble for him.

Otherwise...

Fang Heng lifted the manhole cover on the ground and jumped down.

"Chi Chi Chi..."

At the same time, the group of Lickers who were fighting with the holy cast knights on the ruins of the vampires' building not far away also dispersed rapidly like the tide.

"Hey! Fang Heng! The explosion just now was so cool!"

Back in the sewer security room, Sandy praised Fang Heng excitedly. "The art and the aesthetics are worthy of a four-star evaluation! By the way, where are we going next?"

"To the next central node of the magic array. It's not far. It's in a car shop nearby."

Fang Heng checked the map and brought Sandy to the next central node through the sewer.

Sandy had nothing to do, so he asked curiously, "Boss Fang, tell me about your plan. Let me see if we can improve it."

Fang Heng was helpless by his incessant request, so he told him about the plans he was going to implement.

"No! Boss!!"

Hearing Fang Heng lay out the plan to detonate the sealing stone, Sandy was shocked and immediately shouted to stop him.

"Huh? Why not?"

"No, no, absolutely not!" Sandy said with a stern face, "The sealing stone is so rare, it would be a waste to blow it up just like that! Besides, they are the perfect raw materials for my artwork, how can you waste them like that? Absolutely not."

"Well..." Fang Heng hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you sure it's valuable?"

"It's very valuable! Very valuable!"

Sandy nodded solemnly and took out the book that he had collected from the basement not long ago, "And I've just studied it. This sealing stone has other uses. I've studied it... if we slightly modify the position of the sealing stone and..."

Oh?

Fang Heng looked at the book in Sandy's hand and said, "You mean you can make corresponding adjustments to the seal formed by the sealing stones?"

"Ahem."

Sandy coughed with a guilty conscience.

The content recorded in the book was profound and difficult to understand. He had studied the sealing stone for a long time, but he had only gained a superficial understanding.

As for completely controlling the sealing stone and adjusting the magic array of the sealing stone, it was absolutely impossible.

"The knowledge of the sealing stone is extensive and profound. I can only say that I have a superficial understanding. It's still possible to make some minor adjustments to the original foundation. If it's a large number of modifications, there are still many things that I don't quite understand. I still need some research. Give me some time..."

Fang Heng glanced at Sandy and quickly thought about it.

In this case, he might need to make some minor adjustments to the plan in advance.

The sealing stone could not be moved when there was still energy inside it.

Then he would waste some more time and spend some time absorbing the sealing stone dry before taking it away.

In this case...

It was fine.

He could also increase the level of the sacred study.

...

At the headquarters of the Holy Court in Victoria City.

In the prayer hall, they kept receiving bad news.

After receiving the news that almost all the holy cast knights in the vampires' building had been wiped out, Chen Li leaned his back heavily against his chair.

His face was terrifyingly gloomy, and he was unable to speak for a long time.

The Holy Court had finally destroyed the vampires' building along with the teleportation array inside it.

But the price they had to pay was too great!

He lost a large number of the main combat forces, as well as the lives of a deputy commander of the holy cast knights and a chief judge.

It had taken him more than ten years to train such a group of warriors in Victoria City.

Chen Li's heart was bleeding.

If he had a choice, Chen Li would like to start all over again.
