Starting With 3 S-Class Talents - Chapter 177
Chapter 177: Spies of the Arctic Country
Vincent and his team passed through a large area in Falcon Country. Finally, they arrived at the border with Arctic Country. From afar, they could see the checkpoint that stood at the border.
“Vincent, right now, every country is being attacked by the Monster Horde. Why don’t we split up to support each other? Why do we have to act together?” asked Chris in confusion.
Vincent frowned and said, “Before we set off, I’ve investigated the situation of every country. The Scarlet Country and the Scorching Sun Country have very few Black Holes, so they can still hold on. However, the Arctic Country’s situation is the worst. There are many Black Holes, and the battles are frequent. It’s almost to the point where they can no longer keep up. Therefore, we must gather all our strength and prioritize solving the problems here!”
Chris nodded silently and quickened his pace.
Teacher Chris said with some worry, “Vincent contradicted Emperor Swain in public. I think our situation in the country will be very troublesome in the future. Moreover, the Phantom Race’s spies have not found us yet, so it’s better to act in a group. Don’t just assume that we are stronger than the others and be careless. We should be careful in everything we do!”
“Yes!”
Everyone replied.
After reminding everyone, Teacher Chris looked at Vincent and asked, “Why don’t you let me report about the beasts and the information on how to close the Black Hole? We clearly have a way to protect humans once and for all. Why don’t we use it?”
Vincent took a deep breath and said slowly, “Because I suddenly realized that whether it’s establishing relations with the Beast Race or closing the Black Hole, it will stir up the ambitions of some people. At that time, for the good of the humans, we will become accomplices for the others to annex the world!”
Teacher Chris fell silent. She knew that Vincent was referring to Swain. If the future of the Human Race was really in the hands of such an emperor, it would be a nightmare!
“Therefore, to be on the safe side, our God-Slaying squad will not cooperate with any country or force. We will do everything by ourselves, including finding the Phantom Race’s spies as well as finding suitable candidates to become the human’s emperor. We will then build a teleportation array connecting us to the Beast Men. Although it will be a little difficult, I am not at ease leaving these matters that concern the future of the Human Race to others!” said Vincent solemnly to the others.
“For the sake of the Human Race, we are duty-bound!”
Avril, who was carrying a large sword on her back, immediately spoke up. She firmly supported Vincent’s decision!
“For the sake of the Human Race, we are duty-bound!”
The others also expressed their stance one after another. Everyone arrived at the Arctic Country’s city gates with one heart.
“Stop! This is the Arctic Country’s border. Who are you, people?”
A soldier on the city wall poked his head out and questioned them loudly.
“God-Slaying squad. We are here to support the Arctic Country!” replied Vincent loudly.
The city wall instantly fell into silence. There was no response at all.
Just as Vincent and the others were looking at each other, the city gates suddenly opened. A group of extremely pathetic soldiers came out to welcome them. Their faces were filled with joy as they said, “Really? Are you the reinforcements? The Falcon Country is really willing to help us. That’s great!”
Vincent and the others looked at the soldiers in front of them, their armors were broken and their faces were sallow and emaciated. They could not help but sigh.
“Don’t worry, since we are here, we will definitely help you stop the Monster Horde!”
Vincent comforted the soldiers.
“Quick, please come in!”
The Arctic Country’s soldiers invited Vincent and his team to enter the city gate excitedly.
Just as they were about to step out of the border, they heard someone shouting from behind them.
“Vincent, Wait for me!”
Everyone turned around with curiosity and saw a figure rushing over whilst waving at them.
When that person arrived, everyone immediately recognized him.
“Louis? Why are you here?” asked Vincent.
Vincent still remembered the student from St. John. He was the only survivor of the Black Hole.
“Emporer Swain! After you left, he finally came to his senses. He had specially arranged for me to come and help you!” Louis panted as he spoke.
Vincent looked at Louis in surprise. Although he was a superpowered user, it was a joke if he wanted to help them!
However, it was Swain’s good intentions after all. Vincent could only nod and say, “Alright, let’s go together!”
“Let’s go!”
Louis nodded and pulled Vincent’s arm in a very familiar manner. They then stepped into the Arctic Country’s border together.
Chris and the others were greatly surprised by Louis’s behavior, but they did not take it to heart. They just let him follow them into the city.
After entering the city, the soldier immediately explained to them regarding their country’s situation, “In our country’s territory, there are more than a dozen Black Hole entrances. May I ask if you want to support the nearest Black Hole or the most dangerous Black Hole that is suffering the most?”
“Prepare a map for us. We will help you stop the Monster Horde in all the Black Holes!” said Vincent straightforwardly.
“Wait!”
At that moment, Louis suddenly called out to everyone. He then walked up to the Arctic Country’s soldier and said, “We have traveled thousands of miles to come here. You should at least let us rest for a night. Don’t your Arctic Country people even know the most basic way of treating guests?”
After hearing this, the soldier hurriedly suppressed the anxiety in his heart and said with an apologetic smile, “Yes, yes, yes. It’s our fault. Please rest here for a night. I will get someone to prepare food and a comfortable room for all of you!”
Vincent frowned and looked at Louis. Without saying anything, he led everyone into the room that the Arctic soldier had temporarily prepared.
As soon as they entered the room, Louis immediately closed the door and said to Vincent, “Aren’t you all too anxious? You could have taken advantage of the opportunity to obtain more benefits and status, but you all insist on being the great benefactors!”
When they heard what Louis had said, they all looked at him with disgust. They did not expect that the young man who was still hot-blooded back then was actually a person who pursued fame and fortune.
Chris, who had the most violent temper, said disdainfully, “Although we have been hurrying on our way, our bodies are not weak to the point where we need to rest. If you want to rest, then stay. We will immediately set off to assist the battlefield!”
Teacher Chris and the others all nodded in support of Chris’s explanation. They were full of disdain towards Louis who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Only Vincent calmly found a chair and sat down. Not only did he not conform to the words of his team members, but he also waved his hand at Louis and gestured for him to continue.
Louis, who had received the hint, instantly gained confidence. He walked forward and said angrily to the rest of them, “You guys are really stupid! Why did the Phantom Race send you idiots to carry out the infiltration plan? You could have used your strength to make the Falcon Country start a war to annex other countries, so as to increase the internal friction of the Human Race and weaken their strength. Instead, you came to help the Human Race!”
Everyone looked at Louis, who was so angry that he did not hesitate to expose his identity and criticize them. They did not react for a moment and looked at Louis in a daze.
Even Chris, who had always been hot-tempered, could only open his mouth in a daze. He did not know what to say and subconsciously turned to look at Vincent.
The other members of the God-Slaying squad seemed to have been infected and turned to look at Vincent one after another.
At that moment, they realized that Vincent seemed to have long noticed Louis’s identity and had even agreed to enter the same room to rest!
Vincent smiled and said to Louis, “The tragedy of the Black Hole exploration that caused a group of elite students to die in various schools was caused by you, right?”
Louis saw that Vincent’s tone was filled with admiration and praise for himself, so he nodded and said, “That’s right! If it wasn’t for the members of this God-Slaying squad who chose to act alone, I would have killed them all long ago!”
After hearing that, everyone widened their eyes. It turned out that the sole survivor was not lucky. He was just a spy of the Phantom Race!
Vincent nodded and asked again, “When you heard the news of the disappearance of the God-Slaying squad, you applied for the plan to have the Phantom Race send people to disguise themselves as them to infiltrate the Human Race, right?”
“Of course! I’ve met everyone in the God-Slaying squad. It’s not difficult to get information on them. Moreover, their talents and positions make it easy for them to upgrade their status in the Human Race. That’s why I came up with this plan!” said Louis proudly.
Vincent stood up with a look of admiration and asked, “Then do you think our acting is similar?”
After hearing this, Louis looked at everyone seriously and evaluated them, “It’s quite similar, just like the people I know! But your strength is too much! There are only five level eight creatures in the Human Race, but your whole team is actually level eight creatures, and you even produced a level nine creature. You almost exposed yourselves!”
Vincent’s expression suddenly changed. He frowned and shouted angrily, “Impudent! Since you know our level, what right do you have to tell us what to do? I think you’ve lived in the Human Race for too long, and you’ve forgotten the rules of the Phantom Race, as well as your identity as a Phantom!”
At the same time, a powerful aura surged from Vincent’s body. A huge wave was sent towards Louis.
Louis was instantly slammed against the wall and laid on the ground like mud. He spat out blood and said in shock, “Level ten creature! I was wrong, I was wrong! I shouldn’t have pointed fingers at you lords. Please spare my life!”
Vincent withdrew his aura and sat back down on the chair. He said faintly, “Your plan is too childish. It’s nothing at all! After the Lords discussed it, they decided to send us to directly rule the Human Race and to gather all the Phantoms scattered in the Human Race to establish a core power group. This way, even if we can’t break through the Black Hole, we can still control the Human Race!”
After hearing that, Louis hurriedly got up and knelt down. He said, “It’s my shortsightedness. I have failed to understand the great plan of the Lords. I’ll definitely cooperate with the Lords in the future!”
“Yes! I’ll let you off today. I’ll give you a chance to redeem yourself. You came earlier. Have you contacted the other members of the Phantom Race? Tell me their names and identities. After I take control, I’ll start to promote them!”
Vincent asked Louis casually.
Louis nodded and said, “I, I do know the whereabouts of some of my men. Although not all of them, I do know most of them. I’ll tell you now!”
