Village Head's Debauchery

Chapter 957 Unbefitting To Be Called Home, Quiet Cooperation

"Ahem! Great Warrior, where is the Runaway City you reside in? We've detected spies from the Journeying Jaguar Runaway City and the mysterious Wandering Wolf Borough Runaway City, sent to follow us on our pursuit for the Divine artefact."

"We've refrained from engaging in direct confrontations, unsure how to handle them. But due to the recent developments, I've decided to apprehend them and send them to you for interrogation. Perhaps, with their aid, we could unravel more about the two Runaway Cities with their help," Eleanora responded.

After hearing Lakul's words, she had already decided to root out the spies from either of the Grade Two Runaway Cities and use them to gain favour with the mysterious figures. Additionally, she couldn't deny her curiosity about their Runaway City.

Upon hearing Eleanora's decision, Lakul and the leaders behind him displayed deep frowns. They had been trying to anticipate all possible scenarios in pursuing the Divine artefacts and watch whose toes they should avoid stepping on.

However, they hadn't considered keeping guards up for any spies sent by either of the two Runaway Cities.

Lakul's eyes couldn't help but twitch since Eleanora had failed to reveal this information during their meeting.

"Let them be for now. I'll find a way to handle them. Also, I don't reside in a Runaway City. Although it's an intriguing and amazing innovation, such a home is not something I'll be comfortable spending the rest of my life within," Orion responded.

Based on what he had learned and seen about the Runaway City, he preferred to reside in a much more natural environment.

Hearing that he didn't reside in a Runaway City, which was inconceivable to her, Eleanora couldn't hold herself back, unconsciously gulping as she asked, "Is it possible for me to learn about where you reside, Great Warrior?"

Even Lakul and the others beside them couldn't help but keep their ears peeled, awaiting his response. The kind of place that could produce warriors with such immense strength was something they all wanted to know about!

"I reside in Paradise. As for its location and what it is, it is not something you are qualified to learn about," Orion responded, his words carrying a weight that stunned the others.

Paradise!

The word 'Paradise' reverberated in their ears, its significance etching into their minds. Could this be the birthplace of such formidable warriors?

Why hadn't they heard of it before? Was it because they had been confined within their forbidden lands, their existence known only to Patriarch Rylan?

Their minds raced, attempting to grasp an explanation, but they could come up with none.

As Orion walked away, he ordered five three-star warriors to stay behind and watch the Vylkr alloy mine and the two Runaway Cities while the rest were to accompany him back.

Immediately, the two shapeshifting warriors began their transformation. Their bodies stretched and contorted, sprouting from their backs, their forms expanding into inconceivable sizes.

The shadows they cast upon the ground grew immense, their figures becoming a massive creature with four legs, a thick mane, grand wings, and a venomous stinger tail adorned in crimson-grey fur and feathers with flickering purple flames, and a colossal beast with shimmering black scales, razor-sharp talons, a glowing stinger, and obsidian-like teeth.

They stood close together, their presence commanding awe and fear, appearing as formidable forces of nature, mythical beasts from legends.

Before their eyes, everyone following the masked figure began to leap onto the beasts one by one, including Seig, Evadne, and the Four-eared Elven gods' chosen ones. It then dawned on them that these formidable mythical beasts were their mounts.

Lakul, Eleanora, and the others couldn't help but feel a chill travel down their spines, an overwhelming pressure bearing down on them as the beasts gazed at them with icy, devouring eyes.

How would they even be able to compete with such mysterious individuals in the first place?

Suddenly, Lakul felt an intense gaze fixed on him from the side. He shifted his attention to the other beast and noticed Seig and Evadne staring intently at him.

Although Seig and Evadne were disappointed that Orion hadn't questioned the former Emperor about them, they weren't distraught. After all, they hadn't solidified their standing within the floating island, so it would have been even weirder if he did.

Below, Lakul held their gazes unwaveringly until a burst of bluish, blazing lightning scattered and surrounded them, illuminating their entire vision as if a phenomenon was about to occur before they vanished into thin air with countless streaks of lightning bolts.

With their departure, the pressure that had previously enveloped them vanished, and the environment settled into a frightening stillness.

"Go and ensure the 1st Unit is okay and they receive the most adequate treatment. Even in their dire moment, they did not disappoint us, so treat them with respect," Eleanora said, her voice breaking through the stillness as she looked at the captain of the 2nd Unit of the Vanguard team and a few of his members behind him.

Despite feeling bitter about the shameful situation the 1st Unit had been dragged into, Eleanora knew she had to treat them properly because they had sealed their lips shut in the face of such a terrifying enemy to protect their secrets from outsiders.

The 2nd Unit nodded and swiftly headed in their direction.

"Former Queen Eleanora, we will see more of each other. I believe it's best to strengthen our ties for the proper development of our new leader's rule," Lakul said solemnly, stretching his hand forward as he looked at Eleanora, wary of the five warriors standing guard and watching them.

Eleanora grabbed his hand and shook it firmly. "Of course," she responded.

Whether the Wanderlust Traveling Tortoise Runaway City would eventually fall back into her hands depended on how events unfolded.

With a final, lingering gaze, they parted ways, each returning to their respective Runaway Cities under the watchful gaze of the five Vylkr warriors.

The Key Leaders Meeting Hall

"I never expected all of this to occur just hours after you left," Queen Selene said, shaking her head in disbelief.
