Chapter 244 - Part One: Quick Meeting
City Lord Garry expressed his concern directly. The other hand, the Hall Master listened patiently to him. When City Lord Garry finished saying his words. Then the Hall Master commented, " It's okay, Don't worry. I got a plan here."
The City Lord's face lit up when he heard his words.
The Hall Master said, "How many Elite Warriors in our city currently and those who were not part of this ongoing battle?" After saying that he looked at his expression.
For a moment, City Lord Garry is confused, "What does he mean?" Then suddenly he seems to realize something. "Wait a second! Does the Hall Master plan to seek help from neutral forces?"
Finally, his nervous expression was replaced with a hopeful one.
City Lord Garry answered, "Hall Master, For now we have found 10 Elite level powerhouses in the city. They seem to be the guardians of Star Tower Participants."
He knew for sure, without their permission. It's impossible for an Elite level Powerhouse to directly enter the city.
Hearing that the Hall Master smiled, He thought this number would be enough to handle the current pressure.
The Hall Master said, "City Lord, It would be better, If you can arrange a quick meeting with them half an hour later."
City Lord Garry nodded. The meeting ended with that quick conversation.
…
At Eastern Fort,
Situation here is drastically changing at the ground level. Where corpses can be seen everywhere around the battlefield. No one is ready yet to collect them on either side.
Above the sky,
The Scar faced Peak Elite Power house is getting frustrated as the time goes on. He already understood that the female powerhouse from their side is a bloodline warrior.
Seeing her smiling face, His expression turned even more gloomy. Then he glances at his partner who is even worse than him. He is struggling hard.
"I can't let this continue," the scar-faced warrior mumbled.
Then an idea came to his mind. He plans to break their calmness. He wore a vicious grin on his face as he thought about this plan's effectiveness.
He turned towards the sneak attack team, where those three people stood helplessly not knowing what to do.
The three Low level Elite Warriors shuddered feeling his gaze.
The Scared face Warrior signaled them to get to the ground, eliminating those warriors fighting against them immediately.
After receiving the instructions, the sneak attack team immediately went ahead to sweep those warriors.
For a while, chaos can be seen on the ground.
The Eastern Fort Warrior bewildered seeing three Elite level Powerhouses in front of them. It's against the code of conduct.
But the Elite Power houses didn't say anything. They immediately made their moves. First, the two Initial Elite Warriors made their move separately against Eastern Fort Warriors.
A storm of Water bullets and Flames can be seen simultaneously. In a few seconds, lots of dead bodies were piled up continuously. Seeing the situation, the morale of eastern fort warrior breaks down completely.
The Warriors from the enemy faction cheered in victory.
Above the sky,
"Ha…Ha….Ha…." The Scar faced Warrior laughed creepily seeing those corpses on the ground.
"You Scum!" Elder Dorothy roared in anger, She lost her calm composure at this moment. Her eyes turned bloodshot, watching the fall of their brave warriors.
She knows the opponents wants to let her guard down. By making her to lose her calmness. But she couldn't able to sit still upon seeing those killings on the ground.
Those were talented warriors only one step away from being an Elite Powerhouse. But now they have died under the hands of Elites.
At this moment, using her anger as a catalyst. She stimulated her bloodline to gain further strength.
The other hand, Elder Smith is no different. "Your organization will have to face serious consequences. For the injustice you have caused here."
Hearing that, the bald headed, earth element warrior sneered. " Stop sounding so diplomatic here. First, See for yourselves. Whether you can leave from here alive or not. Itself a question."
"Harumph," Elder Smith snorted.
Then both of them involved in a further intense clashing against each other.
…
At Zack's inn,
Elder Thornton and Zack were watching breaking news on the virtual screen inside the reading room. Where some news reporters even show the dead bodies of fallen warriors without censoring whatsoever.
"What's wrong with these people? Who allowed them to visit a battle zone?" I mumbled under my breath. This is completely crazy, no responsibility, no ethics. I thought the battle between forces was supposed to be a secret one.
At the same time, Elder Thornton's watch beside me lit up with notification.
Seeing that Elder Thornton attended the call casually. At first his face was normal but as the seconds went on, his expression turned gloomy. Dripping sweat beads can be seen on his forehead.
The call continues for ten minutes, Where he has been answering with yes or no. I couldn't even guess the topic of their conversation with that.
Then a few seconds later he ended the call.
"Elder, What happened? " I inquired.
Elder Thornton sighed and said, "The Situation at the moment is worse than we thought. I have been asked to visit the City Lord's office building for an emergency meeting."
I understand what it means, "Elder, If they request you to assist. What are you going to do? Are you really going to fight?"
Zack's question put Elder Thornton in a tough spot. Elder Thornton commented, "Let's see what will happen at the meeting. You wait for me here until I come back." He said in a serious tone.
Elder Thornton doesn't want Zack to wander around at this critical moment.
"Don't worry Elder, Even if you ask me to go outside. I won't go at this moment." I answered him straightforwardly.
After gaining Zack's confirmation, Elder Thornton left the inn to visit City Lord's office building.
Then I shifted my gaze towards the virtual screen. I let out a deep sigh at this moment. I don't know why I feel unknown deep worry at this moment. I know the ongoing situation is terrible. But I have faith in Star Tower management. They won't let the horrible situation continue.
Then I immediately turned off the virtual screen. It's better to cultivate in peace for a while. Otherwise my mind will be stressed, if I continue to watch the breaking news.
…
Sometime later,
At this moment, Elder Thornton reached the City Lord building.
Along with him, other nine Elite level Powerhouses were already present there. Upon sensing Elder Thornton's power low-level they greeted him personally.
Among the ten elite warriors, there were four Peak Elite level power houses, one is female Elite Power house and other three is male including Elder Thornton.
Following them, Three Mid level Elite warriors and Three Initial Elite level warriors. All of them were males.
Seeing that Elder Thornton is a Peak power house, he was greeted with respect.
Suddenly at this moment, City Lord's subordinate came to them. He gestures to them to follow him towards the meeting hall.
A moments later,
Ten people entered the meeting hall. There is a huge round table present for this meeting at the center of the meeting hall.
Quickly the ten warriors take their seats, a moment later City Lord Garry entered the hall with a tensed face. He gestures to them to sit without wanting any etiquette at this moment.
After taking the main seat, the City Lord Garry looks at the ten Elite Warriors in front of him.
A small smile blossomed on his face. He felt relieved seeing there are at least four peak hours present at this moment. He hopes that the Hall Master will convince them to participate in the battle.
The other hand, Four Elite level Powerhouses are seated without any expressions on their face. But the rest of the warriors right now have small sweat beads on their forehead. They don't know what to expect at this moment.
The City Lord Garry said, "I know all of you are quite worried seeing the recent developments around the city. And many of you might know the reasons and importance of this meeting."
Seeing those warriors listening to him carefully, He further added, "To be honest, This meeting was arranged on request from the Star Tower."
"Gasped"
When he uttered those words, the Initial Elite Warriors failed to hold their calm demeanor. They were shocked, Star Tower is the high power house. Why are they requesting this meeting? They wondered.
Seeing the hardened gaze from City Lord. They quickly composed themselves.
Only Peak Elite Power houses grasped the vague idea on this matter. But they hoped it wouldn't be the case.
Elder Thornton was quite worried at this moment. "This is bad, I know the situation is getting worse. But I hadn't expected it to be this serious. Serious enough to even the Star Tower have to intervene at this moment." He thought to himself.
The City Lord Garry without wasting any time, arranges a virtual meeting with the Star Tower.
