I Just want a Peaceful life

840 Storm Is Coming

While Otebon and the others are waiting for the reinforcement from the city, he also starts investigating the religious group behind the attack and Gofrey. He knows it will be hard to find it from these people since most of the religious group is fanatic and stubborn to death.

For them, death is a blessing to meet their own God. Though not all of the religious groups preach in such a way, most of the holy knights and fanatic ones always feel like this. Some even feel it is right to die in the name of their God.

Therefore, it is hard to get any information from these religious prisoners. Moreover, [Angel Descent] divine magic is not exclusive to a specific religious group. Still, Otebon knows the religious group behind them should belong to Good God.

In this world, God is categorized into two kinds: Good God and Evil God. The Good God has a more majestic aura and a brighter aura. Their divine aura and blessing are giving me a good feeling.

In contrast, Evil God often gives malicious or even vicious aura. Their divine energy feels sick and often gives a pungent sense. Some even mistake them for Miasma because of their similar color and energy properties.

Still, this aura and good feeling has nothing to do with their actions and teaching. Some Good Gods are even more dangerous and destructive than Evil Gods. In return, there are also Evil Gods who are nicer than Good Gods.

Since the summoned Angel, this time only gives pressure with its majestic aura, Otebon knows the group behind them belongs to Good God. Still, it is hard to find them just from this clue. In fact, Otebon prefers to deal with Evil God religious groups than Good God.

Good God religious groups always operate closely with the common people by becoming healing priests or others.

In other words, they could easily incite riots and rebellion by controlling the people's dissatisfaction. In a certain sense, these religious groups are just a bunch of hypocrites and manipulators.

Although not all of them are like that, Otebeon always finds at least one out of five people is a manipulative person in their high-ranking priest.

As time passed by, the reinforcements from the other city finally arrived. Seeing the late reinforcement and its sloppy formation, Otebon couldn't help but complain inwardly. He even prefers the idiotic Isvel over this group's reinforcement.

'At least those sur Knights are timely and have better discipline despite their idiotic leader. thought Otebon before glancing at Isvel flirting with a woman knight from the reinforcement group.

Still, he knew it was not time to make a fuss. All he could do was report it truthfully to His Majesty and finish his current task. At this moment, Otebon and Isvel looked into each other's eyes.ทℴϑℯℒ ทℯ✘Շ

For a moment, the playful Isvel suddenly turns into sharp serious eyes before returning to his playful happy-going face. The quick- witted Otebon immediately notices this silent signal and glances at this reinforcement team.

'Are they a fake group? No, the religious group can't gather a lot of elite knights in a short time under our noses. Then, there should be rats among them!

'Isvel should sense them with his unique sharp sense. Since he didn't say anything, it means he is still not certain about the spies! thought Otebon inwardly.

On the other hand, the lazy Axel, who is playing around with the blinking lights near him, seems to notice something.

"Ian." called Axel shortly.

"I know." replied lan, sitting on top of Marko with an indifferent look.

Even if Axel and Isvel do not have suspicions about this

reinforcement group, lan will always stay vigilant toward them. He even did not relax his guard against Otebon and his team.

During his time surviving inside the Endless Battlefield area, Ian not only learns how to survive but also experiences the ugliness of people in front of greed and death. If Marko doesn't meet his ancestor and awaken his bloodline, he may already die at this forsaken place.

Noticing it is impossible to find the spies now, Otebon continues their journey towards the nearest main city, Goldshor City. It is one of the major cities under Count Glowspark territory. It is neither a big nor a small city, but it has a teleportation network for convenience.

Goldshor is also one of the cities near important mining areas. It has a military base and is the home of the Garnet Squad, which is under the Glowspark noble family. This is also the main reason Otebon chose to go to this city.

With the Garnet squad nearby, they could give another reinforcement quickly in case of another unforeseen incident.

Moreover, Otebon, as one of the people responsible for national security, also has permission to use the kingdom's teleportation network.

Although he is still on probation period, King Leon doesn't worry about him using the teleportation device to run out of the kingdom. Moreover, three shadow members stay in his shadow, looking at all his moves.

After learning that Otebon has special permission to use the

teleportation network, Ian and the others decide to tag along, as it will save a lot of time traveling. Although it is near, the journey takes about a whole day, even with rest, since they are in a remote area. "Storm is coming." muttered Marko in a small cat appearance.

Ian didn't reply and looked at the accumulated dark cloud in the distance. Otebon and the others also solemnly notice the incoming stormy rain cloud in the distance. Such weather is not rare in the Heart Kingdom since there is a climate contrast between one region and others.

Moreover, the weather and climate of the Heart Kingdom are predicted to change since Jayna releases the seal. Facing such a heavy storm during this time is quite normal. However, Otebon and the others also know this is another opportunity for others to take their prisoners.

Isvel and Otebon also find the reinforcement knights full of spies. They confirm that more than half of these knights are spies. However, these spies do not belong to just one force.

Many come from other noble families, while the others are various forces from all over the kingdom. Otebon himself even found his men among these knights. Yet, Otebon couldn't carelessly dismiss them as most of them may try to incite conflict.

Since most belong to other noble families, they may also try to create trouble and conflict for the current troubled Otebon. With his current probation period, he is restricted and doesn't dare create any unnecessary problems.

Still, this didn't mean he feared the other noble and succumbed to pressure. At most, Otebon would get more punishment from King Leon as he knew his king's character and code of conduct.

He knows unless it is a major mistake, King Leon will not execute him and his family on the spot. However, he may be hospitalized for weeks after being beaten up.

After signaling the others to prepare for a heavy storm, Otebon also silently signals Isvel, who is somehow flirting with the reinforcement group healer. In a short time, he was already flirting with many women knights.

Suppose it is not because of his identity as the son of the Meteor Jade. In that case, everyone will already curse this scumbag to death.

*SWIIISSHHH✶ ✶CRACK* *BOOOM* A loud cracking thunder could be heard all over the place at random intervals. Heavy rainy winds also cover the whole area. Some of the lightning bolts even fell not far from them.

If Otebon isn't familiar with the Heart Kingdom's weather, he may think someone is casting a fifth-circle or even a sixth-circle spell on them.

"Keep moving!! Don't break the formation!!" shouted Otebon loudly. Unlike the steel-willed Extermination Squad, the reinforcement knights didn't have strict discipline. They could easily falter in this kind of situation. Moreover, more than half of them were spies who didn't want to risk their lives in this stormy weather.

"Sir, I think we should find shelter first until the storm passes." said Peyton, the leader of the reinforcement knights.

"No, it is better to keep moving." said Otebon coldly.

"But, sir..." replied Peyton.

"We should also prepare for another ambush. Those bastards may also take this as a chance to attack us again. You don't want to have a big fight in this weather, don't you?" Otebon cut sternly.

"Urgh.. N-No, Sir. Everyone, keep moving!! Onward!!" said Peyton before ordering everyone.

'Hmph!! What a spineless group leader. No wonder he didn't realize that many spies were under his team. It seems he belongs to the Garnet Squad. Tch. Nothing but trouble: grumbled Otebon inwardly. *Thumb* *Thumb* *Thumb* Between the heavy rainstorms, everyone suddenly hears a wisp of drum sound. At first, they feel it is an illusion between the rain and heavy wind, but the sound becomes clearer.

*GRRR* *GRROOOARRR* A loud beastly roar could be heard from the rear. Some knights suddenly swelled up and turned into beastly creatures full of muscle. Their eyes and aura are full of ferocity and madness.
