Chapter 1068 Rage

Gerald's words left Xavier silent for a long time. At this moment, Kristian cheerfully said, "As long as there's no Eternal Flame Decayer, we don't have much to worry about. Besides, we can intentionally hide our strength and then suddenly burst forth, who knows, we might be able to instantly take out some people. And you know who we really are, Soulreaper Sect... Others might be afraid, but I'm not scared of them!"

After a long silence, Xavier finally let out a deep breath and said, "Everyone, since it's like this, I'll accept this favor. In the future, if there's anything you need my help with, no matter how difficult of dangerous, I, Xavier Callum, will not hesitate to assist!" "Stop messing around," Yael said at this moment. "It's still uncertain whether we can get out of here safely!"

Gerald nodded and said, "Alright, let's start by discussing the specific situation over there!" Next, Xavier began to carefully explain the specific details of the target object to them. The Felton family's leader on Promise Island was a master at the supreme peak level of Flame Decay, named Damarion

Felton. Xavier had previously ruined his plans, and the more Damarion thought about it, the angrier he became. So, he devised a scheme to trick his wife into coming out and then kidnapped her as a threat! The purpose was to get Xavier there, and as for whether they wanted to kill Xavier or blackmail him afterward, it was hard to say.

According to Xavier, there's a high probability that someone wants to kill him and then completely destroy the base he has established on Promise Island. So taking action is an inevitable situation. As they conversed, they continued to make their way along Mount Arctic.

Along the way, Gerald encountered many plants and wild animals he had never seen of heard of before. With their supreme peak level of Flame Decay, their journey was relatively smooth and unobstructed.

In fact, the Supreme Peak Flame Decayer could walk sideways throughout most of Havotune. The premise is not to encounter experts at the eternal level of Flame Decay. Although their progress was slow, Mount Arctic did not have any strange occurrences like Misty Mound Forest.

Thanks to Gerald and Xavier, they managed to pass through Mount Arctic smoothly. By the time they reached Mount Arctic, the sky had already darkened. Upon leaving Mount Arctic, they breathed a sigh of relief. After the car came to a stop, Xavier arranged for a thorough disinfection of the vehicle.

At the same time, he found Gerald and said to him, "The destination is not far now. They are about 12 miles west of Mount Arctic. Although Mount Arctic is dangerous, it is full of treasures. They have set up their base near Mount Arctic and are exploring for treasures within it. The previous conflict with them also took place in this area." Gerald nodded and said, "Since we're already here, there's no reason to retreat. If we manage to take it, we can rest here for a few days or take a detour to the Archaic Tribe base." "After passing Mount Arctic, there's actually only one way to reach the

Archaic Tribe's base. Taking a detour would be quite troublesome," Xavier said with a serious expression. "What I'm worried about now is that Micah and his group might have already gotten ahead of us and set up an ambush on this road." Indeed, the presence of the Eternal Flame Decayer on the other side was undeniable, and they had been constantly on the move before. The possibility of them being faster was not insignificant. Gerald shook his head and said, "Well, let's not think about that for now. We'll talk about it after you rescue your wife!"

Xavier looked at Gerald with gratitude and said, "With your help, my chances of success have increased significantly. But remember, if things go wrong, you should leave immediately. I won't blame you. If we manage to save them successfully, then from now on, my life, Xavier, belongs to you!" Mr. Callum, you're being too serious," Gerald said with a laugh.

"By the way, up until now, I still don't know what to call you!" Xavier said, looking at Gerald. Gerald smiled awkwardly and cleared his throat, "I belong to a special department within the Archaic Tribe, so it's not appropriate for me to directly reveal my name. You can just call me Gerry."

"Alright!" Xavier said with an understanding expression, "After we finish disinfecting here, we'll head to Damarion Felton's base." Gerald nodded and said, "Alright!" Along the way, Xavier had been of great help to them. In fact, without Xavier's guidance, they wouldn't have been able to traverse Mount Arctic so smoothly.

Even the route to the Archaic Tribe's base would haye required them to gather information slowly. As for the situation on Mount Arctic, without understanding it, they might have been at a disadvantage! Of course, with the existence of Valery's life attribute, the problem isn't actually that significant. It's just that taking some detours is inevitable. It's evident that having someone with a wealth of experience in any place is such a wonderful thing. Taking advantage of the disinfection, Gerald and his friends also tidied up their belongings!

The food they had brought with them was running low. They had initially thought that it would only take a day or two to reach the Archaic Tribe's base, and then they could start searching for the Ingenious Needles. However, their stay had been much longer than expected, resulting in their food supplies being insufficient.

After checking for a while, Gerald strapped the Dragon Saber and bronze sword to his back, just like Valery and Triston, who were also carefully inspecting their own belongings. This is a pre-war custom of the Night Watch.

Sylvie watched intently from the side, her eyes sparkling as she followed along and imitated the actions with style. After Gerald and the others had finished their inspection, Xavier gave the order to set off. The battle plan had been prepared well in advance. Xavier and his team were positioned at the front, while Gerald and the others kept their strength at the level of peak Half-Step Flame Decay. Taking advantage of the enemy's vulnerability, Gerald's small squad carried out a surprise attack and successfully rescued the captured individuals.

The distance of 12 miles wasn't too far. After about ten minutes, Gerald saw some lights in the distance, where there were quite a few buildings.

These buildings are somewhat similar to shipping containers, but they are foldable, much like the tents on Earth. Of course, they come fully equipped with all the necessary facilities. Complete kitchens and bathrooms are included. Up ahead, there was a stretch of walls made of metal, with heights ranging from 13 to 16 feet, somewhat resembling a city wall. They formed the perimeter defense of the base.

At the forefront, there stood a tall watchtower, and on it, a person was stationed. This person had clearly spotted Gerald and his companions' hover car, and without hesitation, he quickly sounded the alarm! This was Gerald's first time seeing the appearance of the base on Promise Island.

He could probably guess that the base on Promise Island was a relatively safe place. By using these metal walls to encircle a secure area, it allowed the people on Promise Island to live within it!

For example, at Damarion's base, apart from their own people, there are also some others who rely on them and live within the base. They either get absorbed by Damarion's influence or have to pay expensive living expenses.

After all, this place is relatively safe, while living in the wild offers no sense of security whatsoever. According to Xavier, the Eight Forces' base is home to a larger population, while the other bases have relatively fewer residents.

At Damarion's base, there were only a few hundred residents, most of whom were below the level of Flame Decay. There were probably only about a dozen experts at the level of Flame Decay, which was ever less than what Micah's organization had.

After the alarm sounded, swift shadows of people flickered across those metal walls. One of the burly men walked up to the city wall. Beside him stood a man wearing a black cloak, his entire face hidden beneath its folds!

He exuded an eerie aura, and the energy emanating from him was at the supreme peak level of Flame Decay! Without a doubt, this person was from the Soulreaper Sect.

Xavier! I didn't expect you to really come, your love truly runs deep!" The burly man said with a hearty laugh. "Where's my wife?" Xavier stopped the car, then got out with a moody expression on his face. "Your wife?" Damarion chuckled, "I have to say, even though she's older, she still looks quite youthful and charming. Many of my buddies almost couldn't control themselves!"

"If you dare to harm a single hair on her head, I'll fight you to death!" Xavier gritted his teeth, his face beginning to contort with anger. "Fight me to death?" Damarion sneered, "Bring her here!" At that moment, a pole rose from the center of the base. On the pole, a naked woman was bound by a strange chain, exposed to the gazes of everyone present.

She seemed to have fainted, her head drooping down. "Damn! You jerk!" Anabel couldn't help but curse in pain. Gerald glanced over and quickly shifted his gaze elsewhere. In his chest, a surge of anger rose as well.
