Chapter 2170: It’s So Hard Being the One In Charge!

The horse-drawn carriage stopped outside the city. Vicki paid the coachman and walked away as the coachman watched her in confusion.

“This young maiden is going out of the city all alone. She’s really bold.” The coachman shook his head and turned to return to the city.

Vicki crossed a hill and looked left and right. After ensuring that there was no one, she took out her watch and tapped on the virtual screen.

The ground shook slightly and in the mountain a little way away, the fallen leaves that had piled up started dropping and a silver spaceship rose as a blue flame shot out from below it. The spaceship hovered in front of Vicki.

Vicki stepped on the spiral staircase and entered the ship.

She pulled out the small silver rod from a little pouch and inserted it into the hole right in the middle of the control panel.

“Identification success. Highest security clearance enabled!”

A robotic voice sounded.

“Go here.”

Vicki tapped open the map and pinned a location.

“Location confirming. Auto pilot activated!”

The robotic voice sounded again and the spaceship flew off, disappearing into the sky outside Rodu.

***

Above the Boundless Sea Realm, a spaceship hovered above the sea.

Xi stared at the data on the screen with a serious expression.

The strange movement below Lantisde had gained her attention. She had been observing here for a day.

According to the ancient books, Lantisde’s sinking was related to Cthulhu’s old nest, R’lyeh.

However, R’lyeh had sunk for countless years and was dragged down to the Underground City straight away. It should have been completely isolated from the Norland Continent. Why would there be strange movements?

She had already reported the situation back to the Underground City and was awaiting the reply.

Just then, her gaze fell upon the virtual screen at the side. There was a bright red dot advancing quickly.

“It’s the signal from Black Cat.”

Xi’s eyes lit up and she quickly checked the map.

Miss Vicki from the Roosevelt family had run away from home three years ago, and there had been no traces of her ever since.

Xi came over to Norland Continent this time to carry out the observation mission. Before she set off, the Roosevelt Family requested for her to help look for Miss Vicki in the Norland Continent and also passed her the tracking device for her to put on the Black Cat.

However, over the past few months, this was the first time she ever got signals from the Black Cat.

Previously, she thought that Vicki might not be in the Norland Continent. However, judging from how things were, she probably just did not activate Black Cat for the past few months.

“Judging from the route… could she be going to the ice sheets?”

Vicki was stunned as she watched the super speedy spaceship. She hesitated for a while before activating her spaceship.

The large spaceship rose to the skies from above the sea. After that, it flew northward at the speed of light.

***

Vicki had already changed into her black combat uniform. She sat seriously in front of the control panel as she locked her eyes on the destination that was getting closer.

The motive for her trip was very simple. It was to settle that troublesome intruder from the ancient times and then return to Rodu. If she could make it in time, there probably would not be a need to cancel the performance at night and the Black Cat Opera troupe might be able to get the 1000 copper coins in ticket revenue.

“I’ve seen in the ancient books before that the ancient invaders are very strong and could not be killed. Therefore, the previous inhabitants could only seal it at various places on the Norland Continent. Can we kill them?” Vicki muttered to herself worryingly.

“All of you devils are from ancient times but the Elder Things back then definitely did not have such advanced technology. Give it a bolt of lightning first and then use the whole ship’s power to send it into the skies. It’ll be that simple,” Vicki answered herself.

“But…”

“Stop being so wishy-washy. I’ll control the ship later and you show the devils what absolute power is.” The corner of Vicki’s lips rose and there was excitement in her eyes.

“What is that?” a horizontal line appeared on the screen, as though a wall had formed in the snow.

The camera zoomed in and she could see that there were many humans busying themselves on the mountain range, building a wall and setting up spell formations.

“Can this wall stop the ancient invaders and million-man Army of the Dead?” Vicki frowned. She had not seen the so-called allied forces and did not even know if they actually existed.

“Who cares, let’s just go and take a look.”

Vicki canceled the auto pilot mode and pushed the acceleration bar forward slowly. The spaceship increased in speed and flew across the Gus Mountains immediately.

Mag, who was observing the ground terrain on a mountain, looked up at the sky.

Although he did not manage to catch any trace of the spaceship with his eyes, he could feel something fly across the sky at that moment.

Such speed and stealth effect meant that it was Xi, no doubt about it.

However, why would Xi come into the ice sheets at this time? Was she intending to help the allied forces eliminate some of the Army of the Dead’s soldiers before the battle?

Mag and Xi were currently half-allies. Both of them had similar goals and information to share on Cthulhu’s matter.

However, the information that was shared by Xi proactively wasn’t a lot. It was difficult for Mag to request more information.

For the past few days, he had no idea where Xi was and what she was doing. Also he did not know why she would suddenly appear on the ice sheets and go in so deep

Of course, with the possibility of her battleship, as long as she did not go right in front of Cthulhu, she could still play around in the ice sheets.

Just when he thought of that, Mag saw his old pal, who was laying at the side, chewing on a bone. He couldn’t help but feel a little envious.

Ah Zi was naturally a top quality flying steed. One probably could not find a flying steed faster than it, even if it was a giant dragon.

With its extreme speed, Ah Zi, as a 10th-tier magic beast, did not have a very powerful attack. It could only spit out some thunder balls.

Mag was rather curious about Xi’s intentions to do with the ice sheets. However, he did not own the ice sheets after all, so it was not very appropriate for him to keep going in and out.

He still had to be considerate to Cthulhu’s feelings.

If Mag were to infuriate Cthulhu, causing it to gather the Army of the Dead to the south, the allied forces that were on their way would have to rush back home to fend for themselves.

It’s so hard to be the one in charge!

Mag circled around the mountain and took out a pen and paper to draw a little. Based on the geographical terrain, he jotted down the rough areas and positions of the cannons to be placed. After that, Mag returned to Chaos City to bring the first batch of cannons to the frontline.

“As for the main cannon, I’ll still have to discuss it with Jonas and set up a protection spell formation for it.” Mag put away his pen and paper and went down the mountain.

At that moment, Mag suddenly looked up and squinted.

“Why is there another one?”

If the one before belonged to Xi, who could this one belong to?”

Could it be that the Elder Things had sent reinforcement?

In that case, Mag had to go take a look.

“Ah Zi!”

Mag whistled.

Ah Zi swung the bone it had been chewing on for half the day and took to the skies.

“This direction, full speed ahead!” Mag pointed in a direction and ordered.

“Howl-”

Ah Zi raised its head and howled. The runes on his wings started moving and Ah Zi transformed into a bolt of purple lightning, disappearing into the horizon towards the ice sheets.
