Last Totem Novel - Chapter 236

Chapter 236 Rebellion

It was 8:00 a.m. Silver City time and 113 p.m. Satt time. In a small officer’s dorm on the second floor of Tyre Stronghold, Edward, who had not slept all night, sat on the edge of the bed with his black eyes, staring blankly at the ice-cold steel walls.

“No, we can’t go on like this” he muttered to himself. He can’t be trapped here, he has to find a way to get out of here. However, once he took away the legion, he would immediately face a huge penalty and the temple princess’ anger. As an aristocrat of Silver City and a better corps commander in the academy, he had a wider range of contacts than ordinary people, and had a deeper understanding of society.

Everyone in the noble circle knew that Yoga Lombar, who came from the Golden Triangle and had half of the bloodline of the Mordleton family, was not as bright and straightforward as he usually was in public. On the contrary, this rapidly rising Temple Princess had a strong personality. She was decisive in her slaughter, and her wrists were extremely tough. She was like a cold-blooded and heartless machine. She would not be merciful in making any decisions. It was precisely because of this that she obtained the unanimous approval of the Temple Elders’ Council in a short period of three years, and was placed high hopes by the old antiques. She was awarded the title of “Temple Miracle” and leapt to become the first successor of the Pope.

He could imagine that if he left without permission, his political career would be over. Not only that, it was still unknown whether he would be able to retain the title of Baron after returning. But if he didn’t leave now, how could Commander Sa Jia Qi let him go? If he were in Sa Cha Cha’s position, the other party would have already died several times.

He thought that if he wanted to get out of his current predicament, he would have to join an organization willing to provide him with asylum. There was no need to think about the World Conference. No one cared about the life and death of a baron. If he was an Earl, there was still a chance, but it was just a chance. The World Conference has always maintained a non-interventionist attitude towards the three great faiths. However, it was not that they did not want to interfere, but that they did not dare to interfere.

The most elite troops in the Silver City world had always been in the hands of the three great faiths. Those who were truly powerful either formed their own factions or joined the three great faiths.

After thinking for a while, he picked up the communicator and dialed the Light Language Manor’s communication switchboard. The Temple had never been within his consideration, and the Temple was probably no longer working. As for the other organizations, it was meaningless. Right now, his only hope was Notre Dame.

“Hello, this is Qing Yu Manor’s communication switchboard. May I ask who you are looking for?” A sweet female voice came from over there.

“Dear Miss, this is Baron Edward Southson. I’d like to speak to Assistant Qin.” Edward replied humbly.

“Sorry, there is no reservation here. Please go to the Student Union Building Secretariat tomorrow to make an appointment.”

“Sorry, it may be … a little urgent, can …” Edward Sossie asked cautiously.

“Baron, I will inform the Secretariat of your request later. You can call the switchboard of the Student Union Building at ten in the morning.” Said the other side.

After hanging up, Edward began to wait for a long time …

Time passed by like this. He would occasionally raise his hand to look at the electronic clock on the power armor. The speed of time was unbearably slow. As time passed, he became more and more anxious, pacing back and forth in the narrow room.

Two hours later, it was 10 a.m. Silver City time and 115 p.m. Satt time. He finally waited until that time and dialed the switchboard of the Student Union Building. Then, through the transfer of the Secretariat, he connected to Qin Assistant’s voice.

“Good morning, assistant Qin. I’m Edward Sossie. I’d like to extend my deepest regards to you.” Edward said respectfully.

“Is something the matter?” A calm voice came from over there.

“I want to convert to the glory of the gods, enter Notre Dame, and become a devout cultivator.” Edward said.

“Your reputation in the academy is very poor. It doesn’t conform to the teachings of Notre Dame.” The other side said bluntly.

“I beg the gods for mercy and salvation. I will …” Edward said sweatily, and he was interrupted.

“Also, Guild Leader Sa Jia Qi is a distinguished guest of Notre Dame. I hope you can respect him.” As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately hung up the voice communication.

At this moment, Edward was extremely shocked. He never imagined that Sacha’s network of connections would be so pervasive that even Notre Dame would protect his interests. Looks like he really hit a metal plate this time.

Actually, it was only last night that Muyu Qinxin found out about the conflict between Edward and the iron slag. A few hours ago, after Eva Green finished communicating with Tie Zha, she felt very unhappy and went to find Muyu Qinxin for a drink. During that time, she informed the former about the current situation of the iron slag, which was why she had the conversation just now.

Just as Edward had no door to the heavens and no path to the earth, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind. However, just as this thought appeared, he was shocked by his own thoughts and broke out in cold sweat.

“Could it be …”

After a while, he gradually calmed down. Finally, he got up and left the fortress. He called in an orderly and two guards and left the fortress in a jeep on the grounds of patrolling the terrain. After traveling northward for about twenty minutes, Edward stopped the orderly, got off the car alone, walked out thirty or forty meters, took out his communicator, hesitated for a moment, and dialed a group of numbers.

“Hello, this is Windsand Castle Pioneer Investment Co., Ltd.” A hoarse voice came from the other side.

He took a deep breath and said, “Old Shawn, this is Baron Edward Sossie.”

“Oh … distinguished guest, may I ask if there is anything I can do to help the Baron?” Said the other side.

“I want to join you.” “Have you thought it through?” “I’ve thought it through.” “Young man, this is a path of no return …”

“Don’t talk too much, just the conditions from last time.” Edward said impatiently.

“What do you have?” “Reliable information.” “What information?” “An empty fortress.”

“Oh … this is a wonderful thing …” said the elongated voice.

“What should I do?” Edward asked in a deep voice.

“I’ll send you a set of coordinates later …” As he spoke, the tone on the other side suddenly changed. “Remember, go alone, or you’ll die. Even if you escape from the Satre Gate, you’ll still die.”

After the call ended, Edward looked up at the pitch-black sky and was stunned for a while. He then looked at the communicator in his hand and slowly put it away. Then he walked in the direction of the jeep.

Half a minute later, the three soldiers on the jeep saw the Guild Leader return and immediately sat upright, waiting for orders.

“It’s really hard for you to come out with me so late.” Edward walked to the side of the car, leaned on the door, and lowered his head to sigh.

The orderly in the driver’s seat turned his head and said, “Boss, we …”

However, just as he spoke, Edward suddenly pulled out his Psionic Silver Star and shot him in the head.

“Bang!” With a muffled sound, the orderly’s head exploded. Blood mixed with brain fluid splashed everywhere in the driver’s seat. Looking at the horrifying scene, the two guards sitting in the back row immediately climbed out of the jeep in panic, wanting to escape from the demonic commander. However, before one of them could get out of the car, and before the other could run a few steps, they were all shot by Edward and killed.

‘”Sorry … you’ve been following me for three years. I’m also helpless. I have to blame …” Edward muttered to himself as he tossed the corpses of the orderly and the guards into the jeep’s back seat. Then, he sat in the driver’s seat and stepped on the accelerator, heading northwest … ”

The night in Desert Five was as calm as ever. Apart from the faint starlight, there was nothing in the vast Gobi Desert.

Ten hours later …

Edward came to the coordinates, stopped the car, put out the fire, opened the door, and walked down. This was a sparse Dead Sea Poplar Forest, with clumps of wilderness weeds and clusters of mulberries growing on the ground. Amidst the silver sand-like starlight, a tall tree towering into the clouds could be seen faintly in the distance.

In this wilderness, as long as there were trees in the world, there would be a forest. The trees of the heavens and earth are as tall as the trees of the earth.

Therefore, the Heaven and Earth Tree, also known as the Sky Earth King Tree, has roots several kilometers in radius that pump deep groundwater into the shallow layer and feed the plants on it. The roots of these plants, in turn, transmit nutrients produced by photosynthesis back to the Heaven and Earth Trees.

After getting off the car, Edward walked in the direction of the Heaven and Earth Tree. At this moment, the surroundings were deathly silent. Apart from the sound of the iron boots of the power armor rubbing against the gravel, there was no other sound.

A cool breeze blew over and he couldn’t help but tremble. After experiencing the ups and downs of his life and killing three subordinates who had followed him for many years, his mood had changed greatly. At this moment, he was like a frightened bird, losing his courage in the past, becoming greedy for life and cowardly like a mouse.

“Pupu … Pupu … Pupu … Pupu … Pupu … Pupu … Pupu …”

Suddenly, a dense and gentle explosion sounded out from the surroundings! His expression changed drastically. He stopped and looked around in horror. At this moment, the soil around him was like boiling water that had just been boiled, arching up small clay bags. Immediately after, a weeping lacewing broke through the ground, opened its bloody mouth, and let out a sharp scream at him.

He took a step back in panic, forgetting for a moment that he could leap into the air and escape from the swarm of insects.

“Squeak” At the same time, a second scream suddenly came from behind him. He hurriedly turned his head and saw another weeping fly break through the ground behind him, followed by the third, fourth, fifth …

Within seconds, countless weeping flies emerged from the ground. In an instant, from far to near, his gaze was filled with dense songflies that could be seen endlessly.

However, these weeping flies only hoarded around him and did not have any intention of pouncing on him.

He gradually calmed down and continued walking towards the Heaven and Earth Tree. As he advanced, the swarm of weeping flies in front of him moved aside one after another, forming a narrow passageway.
