The next day.
Commander Miran is sitting together with the trio in the private room of the restaurant. They didn"t speak much since they came.
"Let me give you your points." She said after a while and the three of them took out their tokens. She tapped her own token on the three and the numbers changed.
Now each token has an extra 1200 points in them.
"I called you guys here especially, because I have a mission for you. Even though you are an independent team and might not be interested in taking our mission, this is a special situation. I hope you would make your decision after you listen to what I have to say."
Miran said after the point transfer was completed.
The trio exchanged a glance and waited for her to speak. She then took out three scrolls and placed them in front of them. She spread them on the table and each scroll contained a profile. There are some details, in them. But not many, there are barely any details and most of them are speculations.
Except for the first one, the other two don"t even have the pictures.
"These three targets are your mission and for every target, you finish off, you will get ten thousand points."
The trio looked at her in shock. The estimated cultivation level of the three targets is around the Middle-stage transcendence of the Astral Plane.
It is not that strong, the people of the previous mission, know for sure that the ma.s.sive points are not because of the other party"s strength. So, they just stayed silent and continued listening.
"The three profiles in front of you are key figures of the Myriad Beast sect.
They are spatial elemental users and all three of them manage the s.p.a.ce gates responsible for connecting the Myriad Beast sect to the other stray planets and Asteroids on which the sect collects materials and resources."
"Not all s.p.a.ce gates go directly from the sect area?"
"No, only the s.p.a.ce gates they constructed ourselves are the ones that are directly connected to the sect. Not the ones they found." She paused and looking at the trio"s expressions, she smiled and continued.
"It seems like my guess is right. You guys are not from this realm, are you?
There are two types of s.p.a.ce gates that are currently in operation in this realm. One type of them is the s.p.a.ce gates we construct themselves. The second type is a bit different.
They are the already made s.p.a.ce gates that lead to different stray planets and some asteroids. To be precise they could be called the leftover ruins of the Gandharva race in this realm.
These ruins are not exactly easy to explore and it takes a lot of time to figure out what resources it holds, and even if they find out what resources it has, it takes a long time to get them all out.
Half of the members of every organization actually work in all of these places combined. These three people are the ones that take care of more than half of these pre-existing s.p.a.ce gates.
Since you killed a core disciple and even took down the city directly, the reaction from the Myriad Beast sect is right around the corner.
They would first the already existing troops to fight it out with us, the terrain might even be the Mountain city, the front city, and the rear city. With our plan, we can hold them off and even defeat them, but once we do that, the sect will call for the members from the s.p.a.ce gates under the control of these three people.
So, if you can find them out and get the information regarding the location of these s.p.a.ce gates, we would be able to take down one-fourth of the total forces of the Myriad beast sect easily. So, your mission is not only dangerous, but it is also highly important."
The trio looked at the profiles once again and Sam spoke.
"But there are no details whatsoever. Even the names are not clear. How can we find them?"
"That is the tricky part. The Myriad Beast sect knew these people are the weakest link, but they also didn"t want to spread the information because of the possibility of the leak.
So, they let these three hold most of the information other than the core elders regarding this issue.
They also took all the precautions to make sure their ident.i.ties are hidden. But with a heavy price, we managed to find the ident.i.ty of this one person and a possible place he might be staying.
Throughout the years, there are some people who managed to figure out the location of these three and tried to attack, but they couldn"t bypa.s.s the security that was arranged around them.
They ultimately failed and in turn, they revealed the flaws in the existing security which helped the Myriad beast sect strengthen it even more.
After paying a heavy price, we barely managed to find the possible location of this one person. If you can get to him and make him open his mouth, you would be able to get to the location of the remaining two.
Whatever you do, I need the location of the already existing s.p.a.ce gates."
"I have a doubt." k.u.mar asked as he looked at the profile. Miran gestured for him to ask away.
"After reaching the runes, they could have built a s.p.a.ce gate that connected to their sect and destroyed the gate that was left behind by the Gandharva race. Why didn"t they do that?"
Miran chuckled and replied.
"It is not that simple actually. It is not like anyone hasn"t tried, but for some reason, it is impossible. Until now, n.o.body managed to find out the reason why it isn"t happening or more like they couldn"t be bothered to figure out the reason, because their focus was captured by the resources completely."
The trio stayed silent and Sam spoke.
"We need some time to decide. Can we get back to you in the afternoon?"
"Sure, but the mission details have to be absolutely secret."
"No problem."
With that, the three of them left and had a discussion in one of their rooms.
"So, are we taking this or not?" k.u.mar asked as soon as they entered.
"I think we need to take this. But I am not sure how our progress with the destruction of the properties of Myriad Beast sect will go." Noah said from the side.
"We need to compromise on something here. We either stay here and destroy the business or we do this mission.
Since the other parties are so secretive with their locations and information, it might take the rest of our time on this planet.
But I think we can trigger a bigger reaction if we deal with this than if we proceed with the original plan."
"That means, if we fail we solely have to depend on the progress made by the other four people to proceed with the remaining destruction of the organizations."
"That is true."
"I have a doubt though, why are all the key figures on this planet. None of the organizations" headquarters are here. The fiend tribe, the Myriad beast sect, and even the other organization don"t have any headquarters here. This is one of the most neutral planets. But this one has the most businesses and resource points at the same time, enough to tilt and escalate the war to an unimaginable extent.
Now, we found out the existence of these s.p.a.ce gates, just what is up with it." k.u.mar said and Sam also realized this.
He thought for a moment and said.
"Maybe we are missing some information. Let us deal with this and see if we can get any answers after that. If these people have information and control over such important resource points they are bound to have some info on that too."
With that, they decided to take the mission and went to meet Miran again.
After they took the information they had on the only known target and his possible location, they immediately left the city.
By night they arrived near their destined location. This is one of the most neutral cities on the planet. When it comes to the resources. The city only has a few Neutral Spirit stone mines in the surroundings and the land is not exactly a good place to grow some herbs and stuff.
The city is under the control of the Myriad Beast sect, but they don"t have the absolute authority here, they are only responsible for keeping order and the administration duties.
The city only developed with its location. It is at a perfect distance from four cities under four different organizations and among those four cities, not one belongs to the Myriad Beast sect.
The four organizations are afraid that if the city is under any of their control, they might have ideas on other cities. So, they gave it to the Myriad Beast sect and in return, the sect would get taxes.
All the best products from the four cities will be traded in this place.
