Clementine Appears-Set Out!

Tang Zheng's gaze did not linger on the people at the conference table for long; he merely glanced at them briefly.

He turned and walked towards Gogine's location.

He had only taken two steps.

Whoosh!

A sharp whooshing sound rang out from behind.

"Magic Armor!" the Verdant Leaf Witch shouted coldly.

A sharp weapon pierced precisely into the Verdant Leaf Witch's chest, only to be blocked by a layer of semi-transparent Magic Armor, producing a crisp sound.

Then the force on the short cone increased, causing the armor to make a dull sound, but it was still blocked by the Magic Armor!

The sudden turn of events left everyone in the hall wondering whether the person who made the move was simply too quick to be noticed until the very moment they struck!

Inside the meeting room.

The Holy Knights guards all around drew their longswords in unison.

The weapon that pierced the Verdant Leaf Witch was a short sword, a type of thrusting weapon called a short cone, which was not a very useful weapon.

Conversely.

Anyone who can use this type of weapon must be extremely skilled.

"Oops~ it's blocking the way."

A light, deliberately drawn-out voice came from the person launching the attack, who was wielding a short, cone-shaped weapon.

She was a striking woman with short, fluffy blonde hair that covered her forehead, and smiling purple eyes that gave her seemingly cute, feline-like face a dangerous, predatory aura.

When Tang Zheng turned around and looked over.

"Oh, cute little brother."

The blonde woman continued to apply force while holding the short cone in one hand, and raised her other hand...

He greeted Tang Zheng with an overly familiar air.

Tang Zheng's appearance was indeed quite young, looking only about seventeen years old, while the blonde woman opposite him was clearly older, in her twenties.

"Corrosion Break-"

Faced with the sudden sneak attack, the Verdant Leaf Witch was clearly enraged and coldly chanted to unleash her magic.

Even without transforming, he would have received a certain boost if not for the power of the "Wild Shape Ritual" bestowed by his master.

Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have been able to avoid their sneak attack!

"Stop," Tang Zheng said.

The Verdant Leaf Witch Witch's anger faltered, and she immediately stopped her magic-casting motion, only glaring fiercely at the short-haired blonde woman.

Seeing the obedient behavior of the Verdant Leaf Witch, Demi-Human mentioned in the intelligence, everyone present exchanged Divine City.

"I want to know what exactly happened!" Tang Zheng's tone was serious and somewhat cold as he swept his gaze over everyone present.

Clementine!

What's up with that Funny Sis here?

Tang Zheng was somewhat surprised and puzzled. The other party was a member of the [Black Scripture], which made the implications rather intriguing.

Judging from their appearance, they haven't defected yet?

"Don't be so nervous."

"It's just a quick greeting to your Demi-Human teammates, really, really."

Clementine also put away the short cone in her hand, feigning a cute expression, but her eyes swept over the gold nameplate hanging from Tang Zheng's waist, and she puffed out her cheeks slightly:

"What? The nameplate is even Gold Rank."

Hearing this mild complaint, Tang Zheng's heart skipped a beat.

Clementine licked her lips.

The Magic Defense was quite strong; it should be able to be broken with Martial Arts. Clementine quickly analyzed the information she had gained from the previous attack.

The Verdant Leaf Witch bluntly retorted, "I don't think that's a way to greet someone!"

Bang—"Enough!"

Remedios slammed his hand on the table, stood up abruptly, and his sharp eyes flashed with a razor-sharp light.

"The only adventurers the Adventurer's Guild can still send out with any guts are a team with Demi-Human members?!"

"And you, woman who appeared out of nowhere, what do you mean by barging into the war meeting? Don't you even have basic etiquette and the fundamental quality of obeying orders?!"

Remedios expressed his dissatisfaction by loudly and bluntly rebuking her.

In short, the atmosphere froze.

Kelart's outstretched arm froze in mid-air. He had just noticed Remedios's movement to get up and was about to reach out to grab him.

This inexplicable conflict stems from a problem between the adventurer party "Free Will" and the Slane Theocracy.

They can just watch the show from the sidelines in their Holy Kingdom.

Furthermore, this would allow us to gather intelligence on both sides, making it entirely beneficial.

In the end, we were still a step too late.

After all, the reaction speed of Magic Caster cannot match that of a warrior.

"How adorable." Clementine turned her head, her eyes full of laughter, her voice rising at the end.

Those burning gazes were undisguisedly fixed on the weapon hanging at Remedios's waist—the national treasure of the Holy Kingdom, one of the Four Holy Swords.

"Clementine, what are you doing? Didn't you say you weren't interested in this meeting?"

Captain Nigun frowned and spoke for the first time.

He knew Clementine wouldn't obediently follow his orders; given his position, he was naturally aware of Clementine's situation.

The selection process for members of [Black Scripture] prioritizes choosing from other Five-Colored Scriptures teams, and as the captain of [Sunlight Scripture], he is also one of the candidates.

only.

Nigun knew very well that he was no match for these true monsters in terms of either strength or talent.

That is why,

Nigun was utterly astonished that Clementine would get involved in this affair, and that the Cardinal above would actually agree to it.

"I already said that."

"Just saying hello. This ' Khalinsha ' Fortress incredibly boring." Clementine shrugged.

Speak freely.

This completely indifferent attitude.

This caused Kelart's expression to change abruptly, and he looked at Clementine seriously.

Gazing at the scene before me.

"So."

Tang Zheng raised his head, his usual calm expression completely gone, replaced by a hint of indifference in his eyes. "No explanation, right?"

"Then I'll say hello too."

Tang Zheng stood ramrod straight, then suddenly smiled, and the sleeve of his naturally hanging white Priest's robe twitched.

In an instant, dazzling, holy white light gathered in the hall, and a powerful aura suddenly emerged.

Kelart, Captain Nigun, and the others' expressions changed.

The air vibrates.

The Observer Dominion and the Peace Authority Angel, both Fourth-Tier Angel, appeared simultaneously above Tang Zheng's head.

It scattered specks of white light.

"Double Angel Summoning?"

Captain Nigun's eyes widened; even with his strength, he could only summon a Fourth-Tier Angel.

Kelart leaned forward, her slender hands resting on the table, her eyes equally surprised.

The information provided by the Adventurer's Guild wasn't very detailed; all she knew was that this team possessed the strength of "Adamantite Rank" adventurers.

Even among "Adamantite Rank, there are varying degrees of strength, not to mention the rumor that the other party is a Genius Alchemy.

One important reason for inviting a "Free Will" to participate is to leverage the power held by the other party!

Regeneration Potion.

Right before our eyes!

Two Fourth-Tier Angel —this is practically the power of the Hero Realm!

Boom!

With a flap of its wings, the Observer Dominion appeared as if by Clementine was not far away to begin with.

A silver short hammer appeared and swung down heavily!

Clementine's eyes widened in surprise, followed by excitement. His movements didn't slow; he raised his short cone and swung it out. "Invulnerable Fortress!"

However!

The short hammer that the Observer Dominion swung did not strike down; instead, it suddenly stopped halfway down, causing Clementine's defensive Martial Arts to miss its mark.

With a "!" sound!

The Peace Authority Angel flew out from behind the Observer Dominion, Lancer and staff appearing in his palm, which he then swung down.

"Strike Evil"

Clementine's expression changed. He had just finished unleashing "Invulnerable Fortress" and had no time to dodge. He could only barely rotate the short cone in his hand and hold it horizontally in front of his chest.

Bang!

With a heavy thud.

Clementine was blasted out of the conference room and sent flying towards the courtyard.

Tang Zheng calmly watched this scene. Clementine's sudden sneak attack just now clearly contained murderous intent.

This killing intent wasn't just directed at the Verdant Leaf Witch, but also at him.

"Is it related to the alliance leader?"

"Has Clementine already secretly joined [Zurrernorn] at this point?"

Tang Zheng had this thought and raised his arm to wave it.

The Peace Authority Angel and Observer Dominion flapped their wings and flew out of the war room at the same time, rushing towards Clementine, who had just been blasted away.

Immediately afterwards.

Outside came the exclamations of the resting elite Holy Knights, and the sounds of Clementine clashing fiercely with two Fourth-Tier Angel.

Ignoring the sudden silence and eerie atmosphere, Tang Zheng led the Verdant Leaf Witch and Enri toward the conference table.

He sat down beside Gorkin, under his watchful gaze.

"Can the meeting begin?"

Tang Zheng calmly glanced at the various expressions on the faces of the people at the table.

Remedios rested one hand on the hilt of his sword at his waist, just about to speak.

"Remedios, please sit down."

Kelart kicked Remedios with his foot, then stood up, his eyes slightly curved, and smiled gently:

"This is Remedios, the Grand Master of the Holy Knights. He's been troubled by the Undead in the Abelion Hills lately, and he's been somewhat anxious and agitated."

On behalf of the Holy Kingdom, I thank you all for your support!

With simple words, Remedios brushed aside the remarks that had offended both sides, and regained the initiative.

Remedios glanced at her sister, whose face was plastered with a fake smile, and sat down in silence.

I realized that my words had caused a negative impact, and that I was indeed not as good at handling things as my sister.

"Nigun, over here—?" Kelart asked with a smile.

"Let's begin the meeting."

Captain Nigun glanced at Tang Zheng but made no other move, simply nodding in calm response.

"Yeah."

Kelart was somewhat surprised and astonished; the earlier conflict and the battle outside did not seem to have affected Captain Nigun.

Or perhaps it was the other party's reaction that was surprising.

A few thoughts flashed through Kelart, and he sat down again, his expression turning serious:

"Then let the meeting begin!"

I have a feeling that these people's performance is a bit different from what I expected.

Tang Zheng leaned back in his chair, his gaze lingering briefly on Remedios and Captain Nigun.

Remedios does not exhibit the extreme, prickly, and obsessive nature depicted in the original work.

This is somewhat related to the fact that neither Princess Calca nor her sister Kelart died, but Captain Nigun's situation is strange.

"The legendary Undead Death Knight, estimated to be over 100 difficulty, can create Follower Zombie, and through these Follower Zombie, create even more Undead Zombie."

Based on current intelligence, the number of Undead in the Abelion Hills should have exceeded 30,000.

"Faced with such a large number of Undead and the terrifying abilities of the Death Knight, ordinary troops are useless; on the contrary, if they are killed, they will become one of these Undead."

"Therefore, we must rely on absolutely elite forces to quickly eliminate and annihilate these Undead."

A series of intelligence reports were quickly released, making everyone's expressions increasingly serious.

Ordinary Undead are not very strong, but when their numbers reach tens of thousands, they become extremely terrifying. Undead are tireless, unlike humans!

"Furthermore, a large gathering of Undead will trigger the natural birth of even stronger Undead," Captain Nigun said coldly and seriously.

"The Holy Knights have 300 members, the Cleric Corps has 200, and the [Sunlight Scripture] has 80, making a total of less than 600."

After a moment of thought, Kelart spoke up, "The other problems aren't too serious; the key issue is supplies. ' Khalinsha, ' as Fortress city of our country, does indeed have a considerable amount of supplies."

"However, without logistical support, the supplies each person can carry are extremely limited."

The Abelion Hills are vast, and it's highly unlikely that the extermination of the Undead can be completed within a few days. Without logistical support, food has become the biggest problem.

If we rely solely on locally sourced materials, there are simply too many variables.

"Oh."

Gorkin, who had a low profile and was pretended to be ignored by everyone, suddenly let out a cold laugh in a strange tone.

The next moment!

All of Kelart and the others turned to look at them.

Gorkin sensed the undisguised disgust and resistance in everyone's eyes, sighed inwardly, and glanced warily at Tang Zheng sitting beside him.

He didn't really like this dark-haired boy before.

But after interacting with this group of humans, I found them even more annoying!

"It's just a food issue, nothing to worry about."

Gojin's gruff voice rang out, and he said calmly, "Not long ago, we Demi-Human traded a large amount of grain with you humans. Have you forgotten?"

The air became still!

The faces of everyone in the Holy Kingdom showed expressions of embarrassment.

"Oh, is that so?"

Tang Zheng feigned surprise, patted Go Jin on the shoulder, and spoke with an unexpected smile.

"Hmm." Goh Jin nodded in a muffled voice.

Captain Nigun's face darkened, and he unabashedly shouted, "Stupid!"

No one expected that the grain trade they had initially engaged in would now become their most important resource, which only made things more awkward for the people of the Holy Kingdom.

Remedios's face flushed red with anger as she stared intently at Go King.

"In that case, the problem of supplies is solved. We'll have to trouble you, Lord Gorkin, once we reach the Abelion Hills."

Kelart pressed one hand on Remedios's arm, his expression still gentle as he smiled and spoke.

"The next question concerns the terrifying Magic Caster behind the Death Knight."

The entire meeting proceeded very quickly.

Aside from exchanging intelligence, the discussion revolved around anticipating and planning the operation. There were no disputes throughout the process, clearly indicating that both the Holy Kingdom and the Slane Theocracy had contingency plans in place.

Snap!

"Well then, everyone!" Kelart his hand on the table, stood up, and said solemnly, "In order to prevent the emergence of more powerful Undead and unexpected situations..."

"Let's go now!"

Does anyone have any further comments?

No one responded.

"Then—let's go!" Kelart said.
