From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 423 - 285: The Secret of Moon Well Spring Water
Chapter 423: Chapter 285: The Secret of Moon Well Spring Water
Because of what Lu Heng said, Black Field lost his qualification to participate in the Magic Spring Water escort mission.
Yesterday, it was Lu Heng who could enter the palace area to see the Elf Queen, and he was not qualified to enter.
This filled him with suppressed rage, but in the Elf Royal City, he could not act out.
If it had been outside the city, he would have struck out long ago.
Being able to become the captain of a team, his strength was not weak, and he could be considered amongst the elite of the Superpower Users.
Throughout his journey in the Abyss Battlefield, he always secured a captain’s position, and the other Superpower Users could only follow his orders.
Whoever he wanted to be cannon fodder would become cannon fodder.
It could be said that since the start of the Abyss Era, he had almost been able to do whatever he wanted; he had never been treated with such contempt.
This time, he even came in armed with a strategy, holding the world’s information, and according to that information, he even cozied up to the Queen’s Personal Guard General, yet he ended up being completely suppressed by a Da Xia superpower user.
He couldn’t swallow this grievance.
Thus, carrying his anger, he turned and left, making his way to the training field of Kolos City.
At this moment, on the training field, there were two teams of Elf Guards practicing formations.
Elf Queen’s Guard General Fiona was standing by, commanding the two teams of Elf Guards to charge and compete against each other.
Black Field walked over and stood behind Fiona, bowing as he greeted her, "General, as beautiful as yesterday."
The flattery was obvious, but his words were indeed pleasing to the ears.
With a brush of her hand through her hair, Fiona responded, "I didn’t call for you, what do you want?"
Black Field quickly moved to the main topic, "This time, the mission to transport Magic Spring Water has been completely monopolized by that human called Lu Heng.
"His team already numbers sixteen, and if he harbors ill intent, it could pose a significant threat to the Elf Guard escorting the spring water."
Fiona turned back to look at him with an expressionless face and asked, "What are you trying to say?"
Anxious, Black Field hurriedly presented his plan, "I, Black Field, am General Fiona’s most loyal admirer, sworn to serve the General, the Elf Queen, and Quel’dorei.
"I believe I should select a team of Superpower Users to accompany Captain Eric, escort the spring water, and prevent any mishaps."
Fiona turned to look at him, her face revealing a teasing smile, but she remained silent for a long time.
Black Field waited patiently before asking again, "General, what do you think?"
Fiona did not reply directly but instead brought up another matter, "Did you know that prior to you, there was another group of humans that were called here?"
Black Field nodded, "Yes."
His strategy information came from the last batch of Superpower Users who had returned, so he was well aware of this.
Fiona continued, "Among the last group of humans called here, there was a team that liked to plunder wealth and treasures everywhere."
Black Field was startled and hurriedly explained, "The last group of humans called here have no connection with me."
Fiona waved her finger and then drew circles in the air above his face with her fingertip, saying, "No, no, no, that plundering team you resemble, but those humans with black hair and black eyes appear friendlier."
Upon hearing this, Black Field was stunned and very dissatisfied.
In fact.
He probably knew from which power that raiding team came from, as his Elf World information was exchanged from that very power.
Thus, he knew Fiona was telling the truth.
He quickly defended himself, "Such raiding teams are exceptions and should not be used for judgment. The black-haired humans are from a nation in the Human World called Da Xia; they are extremely cunning, evil, and considered the most malevolent amongst the human races."
As a general of the Elf Clan, Fiona did not side with any particular human faction.
She would not fully trust any party and curiously asked, "Is that so? What evil deeds have they committed?"
Black Field began fabricating various pretexts, slandering the Da Xia superpower users led by Lu Heng, in an attempt to convince Fiona of his words.
Fiona listened interestedly to his narrative, and after hearing it all, she was merely curious and did not entirely believe him.
After all, she was an elf who had lived hundreds of years and wouldn’t be easily fooled.
Black Field saw that Fiona had listened to all he had to say, believing he had a chance to turn the situation around, so he returned to the main topic:
"I am absolutely loyal to the General and willing to serve, responsible for this task of transporting Magic Spring Water."
Fiona smiled and replied, "I believe your loyalty, which is why there’s a more important task for you. Let those humans handle this Magic Spring Water escort mission."
Upon hearing this, Black Field thought he might have triggered a hidden mission and quickly inquired, "What task is it?"
Fiona pointed at the Elf Warriors on the training field and said, "I’ve been wanting to test other civilizations’ Superpower Users against my subordinates, and you’re quite suitable. Don your Battle Armor and see what you can do."
Hearing this, Black Field’s expression immediately froze.
This was not some important hidden mission; he was clearly being used as a punching bag.
Not to mention whether he could beat those Elf Warriors, even if he could, he wasn’t allowed to go too far.
If he really injured these Elf Warriors, any reputation he had built with Fiona would be for naught, and he might even face punishment.
So, his expression collapsed completely.
...
In the afternoon.
