Charlie’s composed words quickly ignited a flurry of excitement among the crowd.
Chance had just shared the news of a major blood exchange. In that moment, animosity towards the Warriors Den surged within everyone. Then suddenly, a stranger emerged with news of a potential escape from the Warriors Den’s grasp. Except for Chance, disbelief washed over the crowd. After all, escaping the Warriors Den was about more than just leaving this place.
The pressing concern was the need to eliminate the mysterious poison residing in everyone’s bodies. Without doing so, even if they managed to flee, they would face imminent death within a few days.
At that point, Chance Yarrow addressed the crowd, “Friends, the purpose of gathering everyone here is to discuss a grand plan with this gentleman. He boldly ventured into this perilous area with the intent to lead us and the deceased soldiers to safety, ensuring the removal of the poison from our bodies. This way, we will no longer be under the Warriors Den’s control and wIll not be separated from our families. I ask, are you willing to join me in this endeavor?”
The crowd instantly burst with enthusiasm upon hearing this.
One individual stood and declared, “Commander Yarrow! All of us have followed you through thick and thin. Whatever you decide, I, Jace Lennor, will follow your orders without question!”
Another echoed, “Commander Yarrow, as long as my family is safe, I would lay down my life!”
As the collective voices expressed their sentiments, Charlie observed that these cavalry guards cared little for their own lives. Nearly everyone’s focus was solely on the safety of their families. As long as their families were secure, they would willingly sacrifice themselves without a moment’s hesitation.
With everyone having made their intentions clear, Chance turned to Charlie and declared, “Sir, from now on, my men and I will adhere to your command.”
In unison, the crowd chanted, “We are ready to follow your lead, Master!”
Charlie nodded and stated, “My surname is Wade, you can call me Mr. Wade. A significant change will commence in three days, and we must organize the evacuation of everyone from this place efficiently within that time. This facility must continue its operations to supply finished phosphates to Moore Trade, so all cavalry guards assigned to production need to work at full capacity to accelerate output…”
“First, I will evacuate all the deceased soldiers and their families, followed by the families of the cavalry guards, with the cavalry guards evacuating last. The entire process must be swift and orderly. Your cooperation is essential, so I need Commander Yarrow to delegate tasks effectively and for everyone here to work together fully.”
Following this, favonovel.com retrieved a rejuvenation pill and a nourishing pill, then took a bottle of drinking water from the corner of the conference room. He dissolved a small amount of each pill into the water and said to Tara beside him, “Please bring me some cups.”
Tara promptly turned and fetched several disposable cups.
Charlie poured the pill-infused water into the cups, filling each halfway, then addressed Chance and the others, “Drink this water, and it will remove the poison in your bodies.”
Skeptically, everyone accepted the cup of water, but under Chance‘s encouragement, they drank it down.
Almost immediately, they felt the formidable poison mingled with their true chi dissolve at an astonishing rate. Replaced by a robust and natural energy.
To clarify, the poison crafted by Morgana for the dead soldiers and cavalry guards was a blend of uncontrolled true chi and reiki, with true chi being the dominant component and a mere trace of reiki mixed in.
While this combination of true chi and reiki could enhance their combat prowess while it remained in their systems, the true chi Itself acted like a ticking time bomb. If they didn’t take the antidote promptly, it would assault their meridians and internal organs, resulting in instant death.
Charlie’s pill contained pure true chi and a small fraction of reiki. By taking it, these two elements collectively targeted the uncontrolled true chi, leading to its complete breakdown.
That uncontrolled true chi had effectively become a chain binding their souls and bodies. They were acutely aware of this chain’s presence, so when it shattered so suddenly, they realized that the bonds they had endured since birth had finally vanished.
In that moment, sheer joy erupted among them, and many embraced each other, tears flowing freely.
The ultimate goal of their lives, and that of their ancestors, had been to break free from this chain.
Regrettably, because the poison was intermingled with some reiki, they lacked the strength to overcome it on their own. Only a more potent reiki could cancel out the poison.
Although Charlie’s strength was significantly less than Morgana’s, favonovel.com had too many individuals to control. To conserve reiki, favonovel.com left only a minimal amount in the bodies of these cavalry guards and dead soldiers. For Charlie, this meant that detoxifying them was not an insurmountable challenge.
Chance was ecstatic. He had previously doubted whether Charlie could cleanse the poison, but after his own experience, all his doubts had vanished. He stepped forward, knelt on one knee before Charlie, and exclaimed, “Mr. Wade’s generosity will never be forgotten!”
Others quickly followed suit, kneeling as well.
Charlie urged, “Time is of the essence. Everyone, hurry and direct your men to expedite production. Commander Yarrow, let’s meet with the deceased soldiers.”
Chance Yarrow responded without hesitation, “Of course, Mr. Wade.”
Then favonovel.com addressed the others, “Inform the men to work tirelessly to mine and produce. Captain Han, mobilize all third battalion personnel to the mining area for support, starting with the first battalion to mine, then assisting the second battalion with production!”
Captain Bennik Han, who had just pledged his loyalty to Charlie, was in charge of the third battalion. Within the Duke Mining operation, the third battalion primarily handled security, transportation, loading and unloading, and maintenance tasks. His men were agile and adaptable. Recently, they had been preoccupied with constructing watchtowers in the mining area and setting up subsequent monitoring equipment.
However, at this moment, those tasks could be entirely paused. If manpower were redirected to assist in the mining area and work intensity increased, they could finish mining within 24 hours over the next three days.
Consequently, the next 24 hours could be solely dedicated to refinery production. As long as the refinery could generate all the output expected over the following three days within the next 48 hours, most of the Cavalry Guards could be withdrawn the day after tomorrow. Only Bennik Han would remain in charge of a loading team to finalize the last phosphate shipment and ensure its delivery with the Moroccan National Railway.
Bennik immediately assured, “Commander Yarrow, you can rest easy, I will personally lead the third battalion to the mining area for support!”
Chance affirmed, raising his voice, “From this moment on, we must all unite as one and give our all. The fates of our families and future generations escaping a life of imprisonment for centuries hinge on the next three days!”
