Chapter 708: Chapter 278: Crushing the Situation (Two in One Mega Chapter)
“Clang! Clang!”
The two women had started to fiercely exchange blows in the middle of the training room.
Uh… Reine watched, momentarily stupefied!
Because at this moment, Alexandria showednot the slightest hint of mercy, nor any lack of standard in exerting force. As she wielded her single-handed hammer, it carried an astonishing power!
Although Cleya had only recently stepped into the rank of Great Knight, her Arcadian Swordsmanship had also reached a stronger level. Thus, in response, she wasn’t flustered in the slightest.
Reine keenly observed that Cleya’s Arcadian Swordsmanship was slightly different from the one he used.
It seemed that his angle of attack was more cunning and his power even greater.
After a short thought, Reine figured this must be because the Arcadian Swordsmanship had absorbed the merits of the Giant Bear Sword Technique and improved accordingly.
However… this improvement, or rather difference, was not significant, at most a slight increase.
“Sword Blade Storm!”
Cleya, spinning like a top at high speed, created a strong whirlwind that swept around her.
Reine hadn’t expected Cleya to execute the “Sword Blade Storm,” a secret technique of Arcadian Swordsmanship!
“Clang!!”
Alexandria held her shield and managed to block it but was still pushed back four or five steps.
Just as Reine was thinking about stopping the spar, Cleya smiled and said, “Miss Alexandria, thank you for the pointers.”
“Lady Cleya truly lives up to her reputation as a top student of the Imperial Royal Academy, having mastered a secret technique so soon after being a Great Knight,” Alexandria’s expression looked a bit unnatural.
Soon, the two women were chatting amicably again.
Reine watched, dumbfounded—this…
The relationships between women are really inprehensible!
In fact, if Shadia had been there, she would have immediately seen through her mistress’s intent, as it demonstrated a show of strength, a declaration of sovereignty…
Just then, suddenly, a strange shock wave coursed through the air, seemingly the aftermath of some powerful energy impact.
Reine frowned, having a realization, and immediately dashed to the window, looking up towards the east.
He saw, in the far distance, a slender column of light shooting straight into the sky!
“This direction is…”
“Fishing Port Town! It couldn’t be because of that gate, could it?” Reine muttered to himself.
Reine’s behavior naturally piqued the curiosity of both women, who followed his gaze. Even the usually posed Cleya appeared shocked.
At that moment, a low but terrifying roar came from the direction of the light column.
Although the sound was not loud due to the great distance, it was unnervingly clear!
“That’s from Fishing Port Town, Lord Reine, could it be that some kind of incident has occurred there?” Alexandria suddenly thought of something and quickly turned to look at Reine.
Reine shook his head and said, “I don’t know, it’s possible. However, I think we’ll know the situation soon enough.”
Cleya, however, quickly regained her posure and said, “Don’t worry. The Empire has stood for so many years; it won’t be without its supports.”
Reine nodded.
What Cleya had said made sense, as she had been studying at the Imperial Royal Academy, she must have learned quite a few imperial secrets.
Nevertheless, the strength Reine trusted most was his own.
Such force from such a great distance still exceeded Reine’s understanding.
At least, up to this point, he had never seen witchcraft, sorcery, or Divine Arts with such formidable power.
“Although ‘Sea Tide Piercer’ Ruljatz is powerful, pared to the force behind that column of light, there is a significant difference. They are not even on the same level.”
“Otherwise, I wouldn’t have made it back that time.”
“I hope the Sea Clan didn’t gain the upper hand…”
“It seems I must find a way to improve my strength!” Reine mused to himself.
…
It took only a few minutes for Langgeler of the Blade Squad and the Deputy Minister of Affairs, Olena, to find Reine.
Less than half an hour later, a Griffin Knight landed on the garden clearing, revealing the answer.
“Lady Olena, per Admiral Forbes’s orders, the ‘Earth Shaker’ Claw-tooth Bear Squad, previously borrowed, is to immediately proceed to the front line at Fishing Port Town,” the Griffin Knight announced.
“Has there been an incident at the front line?” Olena asked with concern.
The Great Knight looked around, as if concerned about secrecy or some other consideration, and simply stated, “The front line has suffered losses, but the Sea Clan’s losses are greater.”
Although the Griffin Knight did not elaborate, at least everyone felt relieved.
After watching the Claw-tooth Bear Squad, including Alexandria, depart, Olena, with an apologetic face, turned and said:
“I apologize, Lord Reine, Lady Cleya. This situation…”
“No worries, Lady Olena. The front lines obviously take precedence,” Reine waved his hand and said.
But with this, plans would need to be adjusted.
…

Deep within Elim Mine.
In front of the Ancient Temple.
“My lord, the Ancient Temple remains sealed. How shall we break through this Amber Wall?” a Black Flame Monk, returning from an investigation, frowned and reported.
He had tried attacking several times, neither Black Flame Fireballs nor mace strikes could cause noticeable damage to the Amber Wall.
Freeman’s keen eyes swept over the Amber Wall, rapidly pondering a solution.
Unlike the sealed Earth Snake, which had awakened and effectively shattered the nearly depleted Amber Barrier from the inside, this would be much more difficult.
