Chapter 165 - The Princ.i.p.al Stood In Line
Vincent took two steps back. He stared at the terrifying figure in the tunnel. His heart was filled with fear.
"That must be Gajero. But he was not supposed to return until four days later. How could he have come so quickly?"
"Could it be that Gajero noticed that Thunder had regained the Bear King"s power, so he had sped up his return journey?"
Vincent composed himself and carefully observed the figure in the tunnel. He discovered that although Gajero seemed to be moving at a high speed, he was only moving a very short distance in the tunnel.
If one were to compare, Gajero in the tunnel was like an ant climbing a towering tree. No matter how fast he ran, it would be useless.
Vincent instantly understood that the tunnel in front of him was not a simple tunnel, but a cross-border gateway that transcended countless worlds, time, and s.p.a.ce.
Therefore, although Gajero looked like he was about to return, in reality, he was not even halfway home. He could only roar twice through the tunnel to scare people!
Vincent looked at Thunder who was curled up in the corner sleeping. He sighed firmly. He wiped the blood on his face, turned his head to look at the tunnel, and shouted angrily, "Hmph, I"ll let you shout and scream. I"ll smash you to death!"
With that, Vincent turned around and lifted the Bear King Bloodline Detectors that had been torn into halves and threw it into the tunnel with all his might.
Since the tunnel connected two dimensions, it must be a two-way tunnel. Since Gajero was coming from the tunnel, Vincent could naturally set up some obstacles for him in the tunnel. Even if he could not stop him, it would be enough to disgust him!
Half of the Bear King Bloodline Detectors were thrown into the tunnel. Just as Vincent had guessed, it flew towards Gajero at an extremely slow speed. When they met, it would be a medium-sized roadblock.
After seeing this, Vincent immediately became excited and continued to throw the rest of the sc.r.a.pped detectors into the tunnel. He then felt that it was not enough and threw everything that could be moved from the top floor into the tunnel.
"How dare you, you are disrespectful to this king. You are courting death!"
Another angry roar came from the depths of the tunnel.
This time, Vincent immediately covered his ears and squatted down to reduce the damage caused by the sound. At the same time, he looked at Thunder with an expectant face. Vincent prayed. Thunder must wake up before Gajero arrived. Otherwise, he would be in trouble!
Although Vincent did not say it out loud, Gajero, who was in the tunnel, seemed to have seen through the antic.i.p.ation in his heart. Soon after, Vincent heard a sound coming from the tunnel.
"Alright, since the Bear King has yet to completely fuse his power, I will rush over and kill you even if I have to go all out today!"
Along with a furious roar from within the tunnel, a tremendous amount of energy instantly gushed out from the tunnel entrance. The burst of psionic power instantly overturned the roof of the building.
The huge roof flew into the air. After spinning several times, it directly descended towards the battlefield outside Flying Snow Castle. The beast warriors on both sides of the battle suffered countless casualties in an instant.
However, the leaders of both sides did not have the time to feel sorry for the dead warriors. This was because they could feel the terrifying aura coming from the roof.
"Hahaha! Lord Gajero is about to return. Everyone, leave it to me to kill the enemy bravely. Do not let any traitor go!"
Mosshull laughed arrogantly and shouted at the army beside him.
On the other side, the morale of the troops that came to welcome the Bear King instantly dropped to the freezing point.
They had come to the Flying Snow Castle to welcome the Bear King. If this was Gajero"s old nest, how could the Bear King live on?
After gradually losing their troops, Qiu Misri and the other leaders looked at each other helplessly. Their hearts were filled with anger and despair.
The current battle was already too difficult to retreat from. It was already impossible for them to escape unscathed. They could only hope that the humans were not lying and that the Bear King was really in Flying Snow Castle.
The deaths of everyone would be a small matter. However, if everyone who was loyal to the Bear King were to die, even if the Bear King really returned, he would fall into a situation where he had no supporters!
"Kill! Regardless of whether the Bear King is in Flying Snow Castle or not, our loyalty will not change. Today, even if Gajero descends, we would rather die for the Bear King and kill Gajero!"
Qiu Misri let out a hysterical roar. Following that, he took the lead and charged into the battlefield.
Finally, the Bear King"s army ignited their fighting spirit once again and continued to launch fierce attacks towards the Flying Snow Castle.
On the battlefield, a few strange figures were shuttling back and forth. It was a group of people temporarily being led by Teacher Chris. They were walking along the edge of the quiet battlefield towards Flying Snow Castle.
"Listen, we must find Vincent no matter what. The ultimate mission of our team is to protect Vincent"s safety. We would rather sacrifice everyone to let Vincent return safely!" said Teacher Chris to the students behind her as she led the way.
"Yes!"
Everyone answered in unison with a resolute expression.
On the top floor of Flying Snow Castle, Vincent stood up amidst the surging psionic power. He could barely open his eyes to check the situation in the tunnel. When he saw what was happening in the tunnel, his heart instantly turned cold.
Gajero"s figure was emitting a layer of black fog. He was clearly moving much faster in the tunnel. In just a short while, he had already traveled a very long distance.
Vincent estimated that at this speed, Gajero would arrive in Beast World in half an hour!
"F*ck, I"ll fight it out with you!"
Vincent gritted his teeth and let out an angry roar. He then aimed his hands at the entrance of the tunnel and poured a large amount of World Cleansing Fire into it.
The pitch-black and sticky flames were not like the trash that was thrown in earlier.
Vincent"s continuous injection of the World Cleansing Fire filled the entire tunnel quickly and blocked Gajero"s vision.
"B*stard, you dare to set a fire?"
Gajero"s exceptionally furious roar was heard from within the raging flames.
At that moment, on the battlefield outside, everyone could hear the angry roar. They were even more shocked to discover that the terrifying might that had previously enveloped their heads had been reduced to the point where it could be ignored!
"Is Gajero dead? The Bear King is indeed in Flying Snow Castle!"
Those loyal to the Bear King exclaimed one after another. The fighting spirit in their hearts also increased by several times.
Mosshull and Princ.i.p.al Jace, who was presiding over the defensive battle of Flying Snow Castle, looked at each other solemnly. The shout earlier should have been from Lord Gajero. However, they had already checked several times, and it was impossible for there to be a spy in Flying Snow Castle.
Moreover, at that moment, the person guarding the top floor was Vincent!
"Not good! There"s something wrong with that kid!" shouted Mosshull angrily whilst waiting for his eyes to open.
"I"ll go take a look!"
Princ.i.p.al Jace turned around and walked upstairs with a gloomy expression.
Vincent had always been the student that Princ.i.p.al Jace had strongly protected. If he was really a spy of the Bear King, Princ.i.p.al Jace would naturally have to personally clean up the house!
When Princ.i.p.al Jace arrived at the top floor, the first thing he saw was a huge blue and white bear that was more than ten meters tall. Its entire body was covered with electric sparks. It was lying in a corner of the top floor sleeping. Vincent, on the other hand, had his face covered in blood. He was at the side pouring flames into the tunnel!
"This, this..."
Princ.i.p.al Jace was so shocked that he was unable to say anything. The rage that he initially had where he wanted to clean up the mess was completely gone.
What was in front of him was instead a multiple-choice question.
Should he continue to serve Gajero who had not returned yet and was suffering in the fire, or should he switch sides to the Bear King who was lying right in front of him?
The bottom line that Princ.i.p.al Jace had always insisted on was War School. He knew that at this moment, he had to make the most advantageous choice for War School.
After hearing the footsteps, Vincent turned his head to look at Princ.i.p.al Jace, who was stunned at the stairs. His back was suddenly covered with a layer of cold sweat. However, at that moment, he could not show any signs of panic.
He could only pretend to be calm and say, "Princ.i.p.al! As you can see, the Bear King has already returned, and Gajero is about to be roasted by me. You should think clearly about who you should help!"
Princ.i.p.al Jace turned to look at Vincent and said angrily, "To think that I trusted you so much. Do you know what kind of situation you will put me in?"
Vincent smiled and said, "I will always remember the good that the Princ.i.p.al has done for me. And as you can see, I am the first hero to welcome the Bear King back. When the time comes, I will naturally be able to protect the Princ.i.p.al. And I am also a student of War School. In the future, I will definitely ensure that the students will be able to stand tall in the world of the Beast Men!"
Princ.i.p.al Jace took a deep breath and sighed, "Is this the plan of you and Qiu Misri?"
"Everyone in War School is proud of Princ.i.p.al Jace. I believe that Qiu Misri will be the same as me. No matter what, he will always call you princ.i.p.al! But right now, we and the teachers and students of War School need a decision from the princ.i.p.al!" said Vincent sincerely.
"What decision?" asked Princ.i.p.al Jace with a complicated expression.
Vincent looked outside and said, "It"s your decision to end the war and make the final decision!"
Princ.i.p.al Jace"s eyes flickered a few times before he finally took a deep breath and sighed, "Forget it. I"ve groomed you for so long. I can"t waste it for nothing!"
After making the decision, Princ.i.p.al Jace turned his head to look at Thunder at the side, as if he was waiting for the Bear King to personally make a promise to pardon him.
Vincent immediately saw through the princ.i.p.al"s thoughts and hurriedly said, "Princ.i.p.al! The Bear King has just returned and is about to see who his people are. The matters before his return are not important. The important matters are their performances after his return!"
Princ.i.p.al Jace felt relieved when he heard that. At the same time, he could understand the silent behavior of a King. At that moment, he did not dare to hesitate any longer. He jumped out from the roof of the top floor. With a wave of his hand, a gale howled and he directly smashed towards the defenders below Flying Snow Castle.
"Old Jace, are you f*cking crazy!" shouted Mosshull angrily.
"The Beast Race will definitely win when the Bear King returns!"
Princ.i.p.al Jace floated high up in the air and shouted towards the sky.
When the teachers and students of War School saw this, their eyes were immediately filled with tears.
It turned out that the Princ.i.p.al everyone respected the most was just like them. He too was loyal to the Bear King!
"For the Bear King, for the princ.i.p.al, and for War School, charge!"
Qiu Misri and the others shouted as they charged forward like sharp knives. They were unstoppable!
