Chapter 941: Blue Whale's team (2)
"The rebels attacked the train station and caused some damage to the floating tracks. But a blackguard team was there and took care of them all."
He tried to sound pleased, but the memory of his comrades' bodies strewn on the floor in pools of their own blood wasn't pleasing.
"Oh really? Do you have an idea about who stopped them?" the blackguard asked.
"No...? Why? Is that important?"
"Ah, not at all."
Erik narrowed his eyes behind his mask. Was there something he didn't know? Well, to be honest, he knew next to nothing, but there was something in the man's questions that gave him something to think about.
By using his instability brain crystal power, he delved into the blackguard's mind.
The man suspected that the team sent to thwart the rebels' attack was Dark Tendrils' group. The information he gleaned from the man's mind was both intriguing and concerning.
Based on what the man knew, Dark Tendrils' team was a relatively new formation within the Blackguards, but they had been making waves with their impressive accomplishments.
In less than three years, Dark Tendrils himself had risen to the rank of Warden, a remarkable feat that had sparked rumors and envy among the Blackguards.
Wardens were blackguards assigned to specific areas or groups, and they often led teams.
Erik's brow furrowed behind his mask. This Dark Tendrils and his group seemed to have gained respect even within the blackguards' higher-ups, and most of them were pompous pricks, so that in itself was a tremendous achievement.Yôur favorite stories at novelhall.com
Their swift ascension suggested they wielded significant power and influence within the Blackguard ranks, and for sure, important missions were given to them.
Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense to give the group the task of fighting the rebels. This wasn't a secondary battlefield, but an important one, albeit probably not the main one.
But other than the whispers about the group's extraordinary accomplishments, the blackguard Erik was reading the mind of knew next to nothing.
Erik knew he had to be careful. He undoubtedly had to use a combat technique that his opponent was unaware of.
"I see. That's quite interesting. I will keep that to myself." Erik paused, then added, "Do you know anything about 'Momentum'? You know, I'm kind of new, so there is not much I know." The blackguard shook his head. "Not much, I'm afraid. I only know he is an older member of the blackguards on the Enforcer rank, but they say he is a nightmare to fight against, and his team is no less strong."
He glanced around, as if worried they were being watched. "It's best not to ask too many questions, you understand? I wouldn't want to end hung up."
Erik nodded.
Erik considered the ramifications of this new knowledge while the auto carried on its patrol.
others. > Erik's internal investigation was cut short by a sudden crackle over his communicator. A barked order echoed through the air, shattering the tense silence. "To all units nearby," the voice said, "a group of thaids breached the barrier. All available members must head to Sector 7342 and kill the monsters!" A jolt of urgency surged through Erik. Thaids were not rebels; they targeted the citizens, and for sure, he didn't have problems killing them. Every able-bodied patroller, including Erik and his team, scrambled into action. Adrenaline thrummed through their veins, replacing the lingering unease from the previous conversation. The once silent streets became a hive of bustle. Wailing notes from sirens pierced the air as patrol team cars raced across the city, straight for Sector 7342. While brief instructions sounded over their radios, urgent hand signals darted between the drivers. Other than a few stray cats running for safety, their eyes wide with terror, the sidewalks were empty. Retailers closed their doors and slipped into the darkness as they drew down their shutters.
