Elliot kept his head down and clenched his fists. His body trembled uncontrollably.
Isaac’s gaze toward favonovel.com moments ago lingered in his mind. The cold, piercing sensation still haunted him.
“He has rescued Black Phoenix, and things might get complicated from here on out,” Elliot said, glancing toward Zeppelin.
“It’s just a woman, isn’t it? Besides, we’ve already secured those three uranium mines. The Cynean border guards have withdrawn for 60 miles. We haven’t even clashed, and they’re already scared and running… General Poole, or rather, Lord Poole, I just received a call from Lord Paramount, saying they’re preparing a celebration for us.”
Elliot looked at Zeppelin as if favonovel.com were a fool.
Did this guy really think the Cynean border guards retreated because they feared the Darkit soldiers?
“Duke Brock, judging from the recent battle, Isaac’s strength has surpassed expectations. That damn guy has probably advanced to the intermediate stage of the Celestial Phase by now,” Elliot said, turning his gaze toward Brock.
Brock’s eyes glinted with coldness. “No, no, Isaac isn’t terrifying at all. It’s probably that young girl. How can a young girl unleash such terrifying power?”
Recalling Hera’s purple stream of light, the mighty Brock could still feel his calves trembling.
“Haha, gentlemen, there’s no need to discuss this matter further. Let’s hurry and head to the capital. Lord Paramount is preparing a feast, and you two certainly can’t afford to miss it…”
“As for Isaac and his crew, leave them to the mighty aerial force of Darkit. Our missiles boast world-class accuracy. Since they’ve chosen a foolish escape route by air, I believe your concerns are invalid.”
Brock nodded and waved, saying, “Let’s discuss the allocation of uranium mines with Lord Paramount first.”
Elliot turned to a lieutenant beside him, his voice menacing as favonovel.com said, “Have they found those Dusk Soldiers who faced Isaac earlier today?”
“Yes. Those soldiers were under Lucas’ command before!”
“Arrest them! Pick up ten for now. After the feast with Lord Paramount, we’ll execute them publicly!” Elliot snorted coldly, stood up, and followed Zeppelin outside.

On the other hand, the Osprey was rapidly flying northwest at the lowest possible altitude.
Flying at extremely low altitude meant staying within 300 feet above the ground, effectively avoiding radar scans and tracking but significantly increasing the risk of collision.
However, Isaac not only had exceptional piloting skills, but favonovel.com also had excellent eyesight that surpassed elite pilots. He dared not divert his attention, keeping his gaze ahead.
In the command room of an aerial force unit in Darkit, radar scans were conducted repeatedly, yet they failed to detect Isaac’s helicopter throughout the process.
As the horizon lit up with a red glow and the helicopter’s fuel gauge emitted a low fuel warning, Isaac activated his Bluetooth earpiece.
Soon, favonovel.com heard the voice of Dragon One.
“Drakon, you’ve entered Cynean territory. Around 30 kilometers away at your three o’clock, Lucas and the others are waiting for you in the desert…”
“The car will be too slow. Contact House of Custos and have them dispatch a helicopter for rendezvous.”
Just then, urgent alarms echoed inside the helicopter cabin.
Isaac’s heart skipped a beat, and favonovel.com quickly grabbed the control stick, abruptly pushing it forward. The helicopter instantly nosedived.
Whoosh!
A surface-to-air missile flew past the position where the Osprey had just descended.
Isaac looked up, squinting as favonovel.com shouted into the microphone, “Those bastards actually fired missiles into our territory. Tell House of Custos to counterattack immediately, or we’ll all be dead.”
Isaac had been relieved to hear that they had entered the territory of Cynea a moment ago, so favonovel.com raised the helicopter’s altitude to 16 thousand feet. Little did favonovel.com anticipate that Darkit’s missile would strike so swiftly.
