Chapter 1807


    It was a real city of snow, chilly and cold. People here had the habit of drinking strong liquor, which could warm their bodies.


    After Henry and Sylvia arrived, they unexpectedly bumped into someone.


    "Lord Zhao?"


    Sylvia saw Gardiner''s figure in a pub, but he was not drunk and his face was not flushed, which proved that he was not there to drink.


    "Senior, Miss Lin?"


    Gardiner looked at Sylvia in surprise. "Why are you..." "I''m going to the Core."


    Sylvia replied truthfully, "Lord Zhao, is something wrong at the ancient battlefield?"N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    Sylvia guessed that Gardiner would only restrain his desire for alcohol only when it came to serious business.


    Gardiner nodded and said, "Let''s find somewhere to sit down and talk."


    Gardiner brought Sylvia to the City Lord''s Mansion of the stronghold. Gardiner had a very high status in the stronghold. A statue of him was ced within it, and every new recruit would have to first be told of the tales of Gardiner, themander-in-chief that led the humans in the battle against the orcs, the g- bearer of the humans in the war against invading races.


    The only person who had a higher status than Gardiner in the stronghold was Henry.


    In the City Lord''s Mansion, Gardiner told Sylvia about everything that had happened in the ancient battlefield, while Henry just listened by the side. Ranulfo had been guarding the ancient battlefield all the while. After Gervais had returned, he joined Ranulfo in guarding the ancient battlefield. After Adonias had stepped down, rebellion broke out within the orc tribe and they fought among each other in the ancient battlefield more than once. In the past two years, there had been three great wars between the humans and the orcs. Tens of thousands of people had lost their lives in each war. However, the orcs could not take a single step across thendmine field. One reason was due to the rules of the ancient battlefield, the other was due to the fact that the humans had entered the age of Qi- cultivation, and their capabilities had increased significantly.


    Gardiner wanted to pay the orcs a visit this time because Ranulfo and Gervais, who had been guarding the ancient battlefield, had disappeared! Gardiner checked out many spots in the fortress, only to obtain information about the whereabouts of Ranulfo, but he did not find anything useful.


    After Ranulfo and Gervais disappeared, the orcsunched another small-scale attack. It might have seemed like an attack, but in truth they were just checking things out. They seemed to have known that Ranulfo had disappeared, and also that some humans had been deployed to the ancient battlefield. The small-scale attack caused quite a lot of casualties for the humans. The fortress had entered the state of alert level one, everyone was already prepared for battle.


    After Ranulfo had disappeared, the orcsunched an attack and even knew of the human''s strategic deployment. Those points had revealed very important information to Gardiner. However, he still found it unbelievable. It was true that Ranulfo and Gardiner opposed each other in the beginning, but after the Surface and the Core had connected, up to the time when they dealt with the Alvin League, they were both fighting as an alliance. Gardiner would have found it understandable if Ranulfo had betrayed them for other reasons, but he could believe that he would cooperate with the Orcs.


    However, now, the fact was right before Gardiner''s eyes, he felt great difort at keeping this matter in his heart.


    Gardiner waved his hand, signalling to take a break from this topic. "What about you, President Lin, why are you here this time?"


    Sylvia replied, "I''m making a trip to the Core."


    Upon hearing that, Gardiner did not say anything more. The Core might be very dangerous to the ordinary, but to Sylvia, there was nothing dangerous about it all, not to mention that Sylvia had such a being like the peerless Immortal King with her, even Cesia in the Core was enough to provide Sylvia withplete protection.


    "If that''s the case, let''s go together."


    Gardiner lit a cigarette, a troubled expression was written all over his face. "I also have some answers to seek."


    After resting for a night in the fortress, the three of them made their way to the Core. They passed by the ancient battlefield and saw the figures of many orcs. They were already preparing for the next round of their attack.


    Seeing how prepared the orc army was, the faces of Gardiner and Sylvia were filled with worry. No one wanted to witness another war. Goods and items could be made again, but lives that are lost could not be returned.


    Henry stepped forward, and with a wave of his arm, a token flew out of his Divine Sea and expanded in the air. The token formed a huge wall that stretched to both ends of the ancient battlefield, dividing it into two.


    "This is a Token of Ceasefire."


    Henry stood in the air and


    announced. At that moment, he was


    once again dressed in the


    el.ne


    snow-white-robes of the Immortal King of the human race. "In the name of the Immortal King, I order you to stop your attacks. Failure to obey..." The moment Henry said that, a divine sword materialised in the air, showing no sign of dissipating.


    It was imaginable that anyone who dared to touch the Token of Ceasefire would definitely be instantly hacked down by the divine sword.


    Henry''s capabilities were no longer what it had used to be, and he had now mastered various methods and tricks.


    Gardiner and Sylvia both cast grateful looks at Henry.


    Havingpleted that action, hended back to the ground and said to Sylvia, "Let''s go."


    The three of them continued their journey, passing through the ancient battlefield. With the capabilities of the peerless Immortal King, their paths were clear and safe. There were no orcs stupid enough to go looking for trouble.


    After arriving at the Core, Gardiner did not remain with Henry and Sylvia any longer. He left alone, saying that he wanted to figure some things out. Henry understood that Gardiner was definitely going to search for Ranulfo.


    Gardiner seemed to be careless person, but there were still some matters he treated particrly seriously.


    Sylvia turned on themunication device on her wrist.


    "Cesia, I''ve arrived at the Core."


    An image of a beautiful face appeared through themunication device, her silver hair fluttered in the wind. It was none other than Cesia.


    Henry felt that somewhat guilty


    towards Cesi?. Back when she had


    decided to leave, Henry chose not to continue trusting herm which was one of the decisions Henry had made incorrectly. He had med himself many times for this matter, and simrly, he did not dare to face Cesia much. However, Cesia had always maintained an optimistic view towards Henry''s


    misunderstanding and had never med him for it.


    "Okay, I''lle for you now."


    Cesia looked very happy through themunication device.


    After hanging up, the gorgeous figure of Cesia appeared before Sylvia about ten minutester.


    When Sylvia noticed that Cesia''s gaze moved to the person beside her immediately after seeing her, she quickly stepped forward and


    introduced the Immortal King to Cesia, for fear that Cesia woul


    on to admit her mistakes.


    go


    simply based on the fifter all,


    the


    Immortal King and Henry looked incredibly alike.


    Cesia''s face was filled with curiosity, "How could two figures so simr possibly exist in this world?"


    Henry stood by the side, not daring to speak. He had instantly be the shy, inferior Immortal King.
