I'm Waiting for Someone

afternoon.

Gem City.

New District.

Inside an open-air martial arts gym.

A large crowd gathered.

A middle-aged Martial Artist stands on the stage.

He was wearing a loose white robe, and his expression was very serious.

"As you all know, two days ago, the Red Robe organization released its ' Occupation Declaration.'"

"They claim they want to take away our homes, women, and children."

"To be honest, I have never seen such a shameless declaration."

"But there's no point in saying more. Just like when the demonic tide came, the gentlemen on the floating islands have never been reliable. We can only rely on ourselves!"

"A militia has been established in the New District to fight against the Red Robes, and we need each and every one of you to join..."

His words were generous and passionate, and he quickly received a response from the audience. "Well said, Mr. Kang!"

"Count me in, Mr. Kang!"

"I want to join the militia too!"

"Kill those Kehrenans!"

A short while later.

The atmosphere in the martial arts school reached a fever pitch.

In the crowd.

A middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance glanced at "Mr. Kang" on the stage a few more times.

Then he quietly left.

A moment later.

Dawn Town.

Black Hawk Square.

A floating vessel lifted off the ground with tremendous noise and flew towards the high floating island.

A corner of the square.

A densely packed group of men in black had gathered there.

Although he was dressed in black.

But upon closer inspection, there are differences between the black clothes.

Their collars or cuffs are embroidered with different patterns.

This represents different gangs.

"Black Scarf Gang", "Stone Dragon Society", "Secret Society", "Iris Assembly"...

Key members from all the major gangs were present.

A heated discussion erupted from the center.

That was several gang leaders openly discussing something—

It's called a public discussion, but it's really just a superficial formality of making the results of private discussions public.

The leaders' voices grew louder and louder. "It's obvious that those Qeonan bastards want to exterminate us."

"We have no other choice."

"They have their reasons for using the floating islands, which we can't control."

"Now, there is only one way out for us—that is to arm ourselves and then join forces to fight the enemy."

In the resounding speeches of the bigwigs.

Those gangs that had previously clashed temporarily put aside their grudges.

Everyone is preparing to work together to deal with the alien visitors.

Amidst the rude yet passionate curses of the big shots.

The gang members also got excited. "Kill those bald guys!"

"They won't even step foot in Dawn Town!"

"I've heard the Kuynam guys are loaded. Even if they don't mess with us, I'm going to go and have a go at them!"

Amidst the fervor of the crowd.

A young man in black in the crowd couldn't help but yawn.

Then he quietly left the queue.

Such scenes are playing out simultaneously in various areas of Gem City.

New District.

Old District.

Dawn Town.

Ruins Area.

Underground City.

Provoked by the Red-Robed Mage's "Occupation Declaration".

Different groups from various factions began preparing for war.

In this situation...

The tranquility of Truth Mountain and the floating islands stands in stark contrast to this.

Fortunately.

The people on the surface of the earth never counted on Truth Mountain.

When the demonic tide arrives.

They relied on themselves.

Everyone firmly believes this.

As long as they unite.

We will definitely be able to repel the invaders.

Such a belief.

It spread across the earth like Prairie Fire.

On Floating Island 4.

In a castle as luxurious as a fairy tale.

On the benches in the restaurant.

Roger was enjoying a medium-rare steak.

"You don't seem angry at all?"

The sorceress frowned slightly and said:

"If I weren't the Honorary President and also had the right to vote, those arrogant mages would have really surrendered!"

"They're going to hold a new vote tomorrow, and who knows if that guy who abstained will suddenly change his mind."

As Roger ate, he casually remarked, "Are you referring to the vote that took place this morning in the ' Council Hall '?"

"That was just a formality."

Shar was somewhat puzzled.

Roger quickly cut the steak in half and explained:

"After Old Bard left, there are a total of 6 extraordinary beings left, right?"

"You said that today's Council Hall proposal is 'whether to surrender to the Red Robe organization— "

The vote was 3 in favor, 2 against, and 1 abstaining.

With your dissenting vote as Honorary President, it's a tie of three to three, right?

Upon hearing this...

Shar seemed to realize something. "You mean..."

"They know you're likely to vote against it, so they're just putting on an act."

Roger chuckled lightly, "These mages have really gone to great lengths to test my attitude."

"That's true, this matter is rather sensitive."

"After Old Bard left, they had no other way to find out what I was thinking."

Shar rested her chin on her hands, lost in thought.

She is not stupid either.

Roger pointed it out, and it all made sense.

Immediately, she asked with a face full of curiosity, "Then how did you know?"

Roger took a bite of meat, then quickly said:

"I wandered around the surface and found that several districts were all preparing for war."

"Things can't be that coincidental."

"It can only be the secret instruction from the Truth Mountain."

Shar retorted, "That's not necessarily true."

"A couple of days ago, the Red Robe organization issued a despicable ' Occupation Declaration ' against us. By the way, you haven't seen it yet; its contents are absolutely horrible..."

As she spoke, she got up to go look for it.

Roger stopped him.

"No."

Roger smiled slightly:

"As far as I know, the Red Robe organization never issue any ' Occupation Declaration ' before launching a war."

"They are the most evil group of people in the world."

"They will stop at nothing to win the war, but absolutely not with things like Occupation Declaration that only incite popular resistance."

Shar slapped her hip bone, suddenly realizing:

"That..."

Was the "Occupation Declaration" issued by Truth Mountain?

Roger nodded:

"This is self-evident."

If I'm not mistaken.

"The Mage Legion of Truth Mountain must have War Mobilization much earlier."

"They did this because they were eager to know what I would do and subtly reminded me of my status as Honorary President."

"Believe me, if I'm there tomorrow, it will be a unanimous vote against it."

Shar opened her mouth.

After a long pause, he said somewhat discouragedly:

"From this perspective, those mages weren't actually that cowardly... they had no intention of surrendering at all."

However, Roger rejected her again. "No."

"If I don't show up, they might really have to surrender."

"For them, having two options is the norm."

Shar slumped onto the dining table in frustration, her hands unconsciously tugging at her reddish-brown hair.

I think I've become dumber!

Roger couldn't help but glance at it.

Then he said seriously, "You've just become lazy."

Shar smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

Roger was right.

She's actually quite intelligent.

But after hooking up with "A Ba" on the thigh, she suddenly realized that she no longer needed to think about anything in life.

Over time.

People naturally become lazy.

Taking a deep breath, Shar solemnly asked:

"So what should we do next?"

Roger finally finished the whole steak.

He wiped his mouth and pondered for a moment:

"I won't be going to tomorrow's meeting. You go and tell them that the Red Robe organization is absolutely finished."

"But on the condition that I have the authority to command the Mage Legion."

"There are some other conditions. I'll tell you to write them down and show them to them later."

Shar asked cautiously:

What if they are unwilling to accept certain conditions?

Roger smiled. "They'll definitely accept it."

"We'll see."

"I'm not an unreasonable person."

The following day at noon.

An exciting piece of good news came from the floating island.

Like a virus, it spread to every corner of Gem City—

The Truth Society has officially declared war on the Red Robe organization!

The Mage Legion will be mobilized in full force.

Not only that.

The accumulated strength of Truth Mountain and the five floating islands over many years will also be put to good use in this war.

The Truth Society declared.

They will not allow any intruder to set foot on Gem City's territory! This statement was made immediately.

The entire Gem City was in an uproar.

Black Hawk Square.

The floating boats were busily operating.

The Ether Gate in the Ruins Area.

It was flashing at an extremely high frequency.

This is the first time in many years that the surface inhabitants have seen so many monks appear at the same time.

Moreover, they were fully armed and in combat formation! This phenomenon greatly inspired the fighting spirit of the people of Gem City.

Streets and alleys.

Everyone was passionately discussing the impending war.

Due to the declaration of war by Truth Mountain.

The surface inhabitants did not complain much about their taking over wartime command authority.

Under the immense pressure from the Red Robe organization.

Gem City is united like never before.

We've entered war machine mode!

one day.

Two days.

Three days have passed.

Everyone felt they were ready.

But what's puzzling is...

Truth Mountain did not launch an attack when everyone's enthusiasm for war was at its peak.

They claimed they needed more preparation time.

But in the eyes of discerning people...

Given the current production status of Gem City, there isn't much that can be prepared.

In comparison.

On the contrary, raiding Blood Drop Town would be more profitable.

One or two days is fine.

Over time.

The surface inhabitants began to question the command of the Truth Mountain.

Some people even believe that...

Truth Mountain had actually already secretly surrendered.

Considering the actions of the Truth Mountain during the arrival of the demonic tide.

This idea is quite popular among people on the surface of the earth.

Seeing this scene.

Truth Mountain was also helpless.

because...

They were waiting too! They were waiting for that man to give the order! But he remained silent for a long time.

The day when the Planet Teleportation Gate opens is drawing ever closer.

Truth Mountain was also feeling stifled.

The wizards could not find Roger.

The only option left was to go to Shar.

But something even more devastating happened—

They searched the entire surface of Floating Island 4.

No trace of Shar was found.

This time.

The remaining six Extraordinary Mage of the Truth Society were extremely anxious! But even so...

They could only endure it silently.

wait.

It's always the hardest thing to endure.

Late at night on the sixth day after the declaration of war by Truth Mountain.

Gem City West.

On that highest mountain peak.

There were two figures standing motionless.

Roger silently gazed at the ever-growing Blood Drop Town in the distance—

No, in just one month, it should now be called Blood Drop City! Blood Drop City has a very complex structure and solid defenses.

Even at night.

It was also brightly lit.

Large numbers of slaves are working overtime to build war fortifications.

People are constantly dying from overwork.

But the Red Robe Foreman went berserk and whipped the remaining slaves.

They are not worried about the lack of population.

Because more slaves will soon be added to the ranks.

As long as they hold out until the Planet Teleportation Gate opens! Above the city.

Hot air balloons floated back and forth erratically.

Beams of searchlight-like detection spells shone across the city.

But the light didn't shine in Roger's direction.

"They discovered us a long time ago."

"Shar say softly."

Roger nodded.

The night breeze was slightly cool.

The sorceress brushed her bangs aside and finally couldn't help but ask:

"It's been so many days..."

What are you waiting for?

Roger solemnly said:

I'm waiting for someone.

Shar's heart skipped a beat.

She asked, with a hint of sourness and a touch of trepidation, "Who is it?"

Roger said seriously:

"A very important person."

Shar fell silent.

She stood there with him, waiting quietly.

A short while later.

Dawn breaks.

The dawn light from the east illuminated the earth.

But Shar noticed.

Roger's gaze was fixed on the west! She instinctively followed his gaze to the west.

I don't know when it started.

On the path on the western side of the mountain, a figure moved quickly.

That person was very fast.

We arrived at the mountaintop almost in the blink of an eye.

When she finally saw what the man looked like.

Her heart ached even more.

She was a beautiful woman with fair skin, a pretty face, large breasts, and a plump bottom!

The beautiful woman didn't even glance at Shar.

He simply knelt down on one knee before Roger:

"Mr. A Ba."

"I have fulfilled my mission!"

Roger nodded in satisfaction.

His gaze remained fixed on the western wilderness.

Shar looked over with some curiosity.

But on the desolate plains at dawn.

The billowing smoke and dust rolled in like waves.

The earth trembled slightly.

This process is accompanied by...

Shar's expression gradually turned to astonishment.

At that very moment.

The "beauty's" resolute voice rang in her ears. "4,800 Hogg Pig from the Xi Long Woodland!"

"It has been served."

"Every single one meets your requirements."

"It definitely exceeds 200 kilograms!"

Roger grabbed his shoulder:

"Well done, Cisco!"

The next second.

He turned to Shar: "Go and talk to them."

"We can get started now."
