Chapter 1552 Falling Ou

Edited by Aelryinth

“Let’s lock this stupid teacher up first,” Saks slowly lifted his hand to signal a few Mages with the Psychic Element and Shadow Element.

They heard some rapid footsteps coming their way. A man in a sandy white uniform came up to Saks and Gangma.

“Major General, three intruders have snuck into the city from the south. They were spotted heading toward here!” the man reported.

“Just in time! I’ll pay him back a hundred times the pain I suffered! Felton, summon my elite troops here!” Gangma ordered.

“Major General Gangma, your elite troops have gone to battle. The majority of the army has gone to the front line, too. They aren’t many people left in the central base,” the man answered. “The Khafre Mummies are here, but the light of the Tower is still on cooldown. We can’t allow the undead to set even half a foot into the safe zone! Even the Commander-in-chief has gone to the front line. He’s the main commander of the battle, and he asked you to settle matters as soon as possible. Otherwise, he won’t go easy on you, either!” the man added.

“d.a.m.n it, d.a.m.n it!” Major General Gangma yelled and waved his fists around like an enraged gorilla.

If his superior was the commander of the battle, he, as the commander’s subordinate, could easily make some contributions at the front line. He would have a great chance of being promoted to full general and beating out his rivals. Unfortunately, he had lost the chance because he was held hostage by Mo Fan. He had waited a long time for this great opportunity!

“I won’t forgive that a.s.sh***!” Gangma’s eyes were burning with rage.

“We didn’t have enough men. Those young Mages are pretty strong, especially the Fire Mage,” Saks said. Saks was intimidated by Mo Fan, even though he was a Super Mage!

“Humph, it doesn’t matter if we are short on men, we don’t necessarily have to face them ourselves.” Gangma was a weird man. He suddenly put on a dark expression, even though he was throwing a tantrum just a moment ago.

Saks was confused. If they did not have enough men, they might not stand a chance against their enemies. The soldiers of other factions would not be willing to lend them a hand, either!

Gangma went over to Mentor Vani, and patted him on the shoulder with a calm smile.

“Major General Gangma, isn’t it time to let my students go? I promise we’ll forget everything that happened in Egypt,” Vani swore. He desperately wanted to leave this place!

“Mr. Vani, we would like to let you and your students go, too, but I’m afraid my superior is still a little concerned. As you know, there are three other people that know our little secret, and they don’t seem to be willing to comply with us… the truth is, we didn’t really want to harm you, or your students wouldn’t be unharmed by now. My scouts told me that your three other companions are heading this way, and it seems like they aren’t here for a nice little talk,” Gangma informed him.

“I’ve already escorted you back as you requested, and you also promised me…” Vani said.

“Yes, I did give you my promise, but you must take into consideration our situation, too. If those three end up causing serious trouble, my superior is going to blame it on me! I’m a major general, so you can easily guess what rank my superior is if he can d.a.m.n me with a single word!” Gangma murmured.

“I’m not with them. Major General Gangma, just let us go, we won’t say a word, and we have nothing to do with them, either. We won’t care what you do to them, so please let my students go,” Mentor Vani repeated.

“I believe so too… how about this. If you really mean it, help me catch the other three. I trust the European University Inst.i.tute. After all, you brought me back here, but the others, I don’t think they are down for a nice little chat, so I’m afraid we can’t afford to go easy on them,” Gangma said.

“We really have nothing to do with them, but…” Vani replied with a troubled face.

“Then help us take them down. Don’t worry, we’ll deal with them afterward. The European University Inst.i.tute will have nothing to do with it. As long as you help us catch those three, I can swear an oath with the Curse Element that I’ll guarantee you and your students will all leave Egypt safely!” Vani said.

“Mr. Vani, those guys are the reason we are in this mess. I’ve wanted to teach them a lesson!” Galba was quick to respond.

“Major General Gangma, the whole thing was a misunderstanding. We never wanted to provoke your army. Those guys, and this guy over here, have nothing to do with us!” Ferrero pointed at Zhao Manyan.

Zhao Manyan cursed at Ferrero for betraying him, “Screw you!”

“Oh?” Gangma raised his brows. He stared at Zhao Manyan with a weird grin, “So, he’s with the other three?”

“Ferrero!” Zoey glared at Ferrero.

Ferrero realized what he had done, but when he thought about the trouble that these people had brought them, and how his life was still in danger, he clenched his teeth and continued, “Yes, this guy is with them. They were the ones that suggested we look for the Tear of Medusa.”

“Very well, HAHAHA!” Gangma burst out laughing.

What a surprise, Gangma initially thought they were all from the European University Inst.i.tute!…

“Lock him up in a different cell, and break all his bones!” Gangma pointed at Zhao Manyan and said, “Do you have any idea how your friends treated me?”

“You are still in pretty good shape,” Zhao Manyan noticed.

“Don’t worry, I’ll make sure you look that way, too!” Gangma smiled.

A few soldiers dragged Zhao Manyan away and locked him up in another cell. They soon heard him being tied up with chains of ice.

“Major General Gangma, please don’t…” Zoey said with a troubled look.

“Zoey, keep your mouth shut. Do you not understand the situation we are in now?” Mentor Vani grunted.

Zoey was frightened by Vani’s voice, and did not dare say a word. The prison fell silent for a moment before the sound of something smas.h.i.+ng to pieces came from Zhao Manyan’s cell. It was somewhat eerie, but they did not hear Zhao Manyan crying out in pain.

“Have you made up your mind?” Gangma asked.

“We’ll take the offer, but I hope the Major General will keep his promise, too!” Vani nodded.

They would rather face Mo Fan, Mu Bai, and Heidi than the entire Egyptian army, especially when their lives were still in the army’s hands!

“Not a problem! Once you are done with them, I’ll use the Tear of Medusa to get rid of the Curse of Vengeful Eyes for you,” Gangma smiled.

“The Curse… deal!” Vani was more convinced of his decision at the mention of the Curse.

The Curse of Vengeful Eyes was the real problem that was stopping them from leaving Cairo and the Bargo Land. They had nothing to worry about now that Gangma had promised to set them free and help them deal with the Curse!

“I’ve long found them to be an eyesore!” Ferrero rose to his feet.

“Especially that Mo Fan, he’s so c.o.c.ky. We must let him know how good the European University Inst.i.tute is,” Galba said angrily.

“What about them two?” Saks pointed at the old mercenary Chad and his brother Benz that were lying in the corner unconscious.

“Them… they aren’t our concern either, just treat them anyway you please,” Vani said.

“Hehe, very well!”

Most of the structures in the military base were st.u.r.dy fortresses. The steel buildings standing firmly in the night looked stern and imposing. When looking down at the structures from a great height, they formed a triangle, separated by the roads!

The town was also in the shape of a triangle, surrounded by a river of mud, with three different entrances.

Most of the soldiers were currently fighting at the front line. The front line extended forward in a huge arc, with the military base at the center. The demon creatures had to break through the front line before reaching the base, so not many soldiers had stayed to defend it. It seemed rather empty when looking down from above.

If Mo Fan and his crew had tried to invade the central base before the battle started, they would be blown apart in just minutes, probably stumbling into Battlemages who were much stronger than them. Compared to that, it did not take much effort to sneak into the base now. Not even a single soldier bothered coming out to stop them as they were walking down the main road.

The emptiness conveyed the enormous pressure Cairo was under from the invasion by the Pyramid of Khafre. Almost everyone at the base had to deploy to the front line!

“It really feels like there’s no one around.” Heidi was extremely surprised. Even though it was so empty, Heidi did not feel like they were walking right into a trap.

There was no trap, there was simply no one around. The equipment, soldiers, and commanders had all been transferred to the war zone. The base was nothing but an empty sh.e.l.l. The commanders could only return to the town to rest up and decide what their next step was after the threat to the city was eliminated!

“Khafre is the second-largest Pyramid. The army is clearly under a lot of pressure,” Mo Fan deduced.

“Can you sense where they are?” Heidi asked him.

“Right ahead, in that tall gray fortress… but I’m afraid we’ll have to deal with a few sc.u.m first!” Mo Fan stared at a few figures standing on the fortress through the haze.

Heidi finally saw the people Mo Fan was referring to after they moved forward a little.

Heidi initially thought they were Gangma and Saks’ men, but she was stunned when she saw Vani, Ferrero, Galba, Sofia, and Zoey!

“Did Gangma really release them?” Heidi asked in a surprised voice.

“That’s not possible. Can’t you sense the aura they are emitting?” Mo Fan said.

“What aura?” Heidi was confused.

“A hostile one,” Mo Fan said.

Mo Fan was particularly sensitive toward hostility, since killing and fighting were daily routines for him!
