Chapter 158 Requesting Unfriendly Help
The sight of Seth froze the soldiers who all went silent as they stared at him.
Whether they were in shock or having some silent mind conversation, Seth didn't know as he silently strolled passed them, his eyes curiously observing their uniform iron armor, the bird insignia which it bore on its chest plate lightly drawing his interest.
"Umgeben ihn " someone shouted, this voice seeming to break the soldiers out of their trance as they all moved and surrounded Seth the next second, their weapons drawn and their aura on full blast.
"There goes my plans of a peaceful stroll " Seth murmured as he stopped and stared at the soldiers around him.
"Nichts wie Geschenke zu Ostern "one of the men screamed as he slowly drew closer to Seth.
"Communication is going to be a real problem," Seth thought as he ignored the soldiers and continued his walk. The soldiers didn't take kindly to his disobedience as the man who had been moving close to him immediately attacked.
Fighting against a group of soldiers where Seth placed the highest cultivation at the 3rd stage general level, Seth effortlessly slapped away whatever attack was sent his way and put all 7 soldiers unconscious in no time.
Seth had no enmity with Monwac City and given his plans to go meet Edwin, he saw no reason to kill the man's men, but he had just barely moved away from the crime scene when two feet landed in front of him.
The feet were owned by two slim legs, their wide hips unable to be hidden by the gold stripped silver armor which they wore over their chest, though the bust size wasn't a banger, the pretty faces of these individuals more than made up.
"Who are you," one of the women asked, a spear appearing in the hand of her partner, as both their auras immediately begin to rise.
Normally, might not have replied to the woman, but the fact that she could speak the cultivation language more than motivated him to indulge her
"Evary Seth" he honestly said, and then continued his walk, not seeming to mind the fact that he was going to collide with both women.
"Stop" the one with the spear screamed out, her words bringing Seth to another halt.
"What do you want?" Seth lazily asked, but the frown marring his face was clear for all to see.
"Are you the one who did that?" the spear wielder asked her eyes moving to the downed soldiers behind Seth.
"Yes".
"Why?"
"Because I wanted to" Seth answered, his words bring a moment of silence, and in this silence, Seth continued his walk.
"Stop" the very same woman shouted again, her qi violently erupting out of her, but this time Seth didn't listen, just continuing his march.
Incensed at Seth's behavior, the spear wielding woman looked at her partner who had been silent the whole time, and when she received a nod from her, she charged at Seth who was almost just in front of her.
Her spear lighting up red with a drill made of flames forming at its tip, the woman quickly closed in on Seth, thrusting her spore at him when she was within attacking range, but before her spear could hit, Seth disappeared from his spot and appeared before her.
With Seth's figure suddenly appearing in front of her and his chin just being almost above her shoulder, the woman thought she going to collide with Seth, but then she felt her stomach suddenly hit a hard and somewhat round object, this object canceling out her momentum, and to her dread transferring its own overwhelming momentum to her, and the next thing she knew her body was moving backward her vision threatening to fade away, and when she collided with a building behind her, her eyes finally rested.
After punching the spear wielding woman unconscious, Seth continued with his unhurried walk, his actions freezing the other woman who had been gathering qi on her palm.
...…
From the way Dilise saw it, today wasn't going to be a memorable day for her, and she could only hope it ended with her still alive.
Just some hours into today, the city the lord had disappeared, his disappearance causing a mini panic amongst the soldiers in the know.
For some time there had been a little disorder, but with the reappearance, of the city lord, everything had gone back to order, yet it wasn't up to an hour after the city lord's return that the bell had rung 7 times, a signal that put the city in a total lockdown and had every soldier on active duty.
At first, everyone had thought the city was under attack, but instead, an order had been given for soldiers to detain any suspicious looking individual, but that had not been all, as the higher ranking soldier had been given more detailed orders.
"A man dressed in black pants and white robe, if anyone was to see this individual, they were not to engage him, but instead report back to headquarters and if possible trail the target until help arrived".
As the captain of an elite squad, Dilise had been given this detailed orders, but when she and her vice-captain stumbled upon the sight of their entire team laying unmoving on the floor with blood stains around them, they had been left incensed and had foolishly attacked.
Dilise had barely been able to see their attacker move, one second he was about to be pierced through and the next her vice-captain was lying on the ground unconscious.
Dilise had been preparing an attack, planning to release it as a follow-up attack if needed, but right now she could only let the attack die down, as she took a step back, looking to draw Seth away from her teammates.
"Can you take me to Edwin?" a voice said, snapping Dilise out of her thoughts as she looked at Seth with a confused gaze.
"I said can you take me to Edwin" Seth repeated, hoping she understood him just like her now unconscious partner.
Seth's plans had initially been to walk around and observe Monwac city's unique lifestyle, but it seemed he had underestimated Edwin's fear of him as it was more than clear by now that man had put the city on a lockdown and was clearing hunting for him, so decided to sooth the man's worries and return, it would seem he still had use for the man.
