Chapter 1484 Field Marshal & Anna Heatsend

?

Date- 13 April 2321

Time- 09:40

Location- Southern Region, Southern Capital, Dual Gate dungeon 

Field Marshal Heatsend peacefully stood in front of the A-rank dual gate dungeon. She had created a sensory field surrounding the dungeon gate by concentrating and focusing all of her heightened senses to monitor her vicinity. 

Nothing could escape her senses, and if anything entered the range of her senses it would not be instantly destroyed without any mercy. There was a reason for this ruthless destruction of anything that fell within Field Marshal Heatsend's panorama. 

The A-rank dual gate dungeon and the area surrounding it were protected by SSS-rank array formation. When setting up the array formation every being within the dungeons' surroundings was eradicated.

Hence if something can make it past the array and come into the sensory range of the Field Marshal then there was something unusual about them so instead of wasting time investigating it, the Field Marshal chose to destroy them on the spot.

While the Field Marshal used her senses to create a sensory field around the A-rank dual gate dungeon her sight however was paused at a distant location, the rendezvous point of the central government forces. 

Compared to her other senses Field Marshal Heatsend's sense of sight was special and had a longer range, allowing her to pinpoint the location where several strong soul energy signatures were hiding. 

Apart from the strong soul energy signature she also felt the presence of thousands of card lord realm card apprentices gathering at that location. Field Marshal's brows frowned knowing that the central government was up to its old tricks. 

With her power, Field Marshal Heatsend could care less about ants regardless of their numbers but her experience told her not to underestimate her enemy even if they were mere ants. Therefore, she made use of her sense of sight to keep track of the ants while using her sensory field to monitor the dungeon gate's vicinity. 

'Grand aunt, how long are you going to tolerate those fools? Just let me out, I will handle them,' Anna's telepathic voice sounded in Field Marshal Heatsend's mind. 

Ann seems to also be aware of the central government forces that have gathered on the outskirts of the Southern Capital. However, Ann could not be seen anywhere near the A-rank dual gate dungeon or Field Marshal. 

'No, shut up and complete the task I have given you,' Field Marshal immediately rejected Ann telepathically and asked her to get back to work. I think you should take a look at

'I don't see that happening anytime soon. No matter how hard I try, the seal won't budge an inch. Grandaunt just let me out after I am done handling them you can put me back in the seal to continue my training,' Anna argued and tried to reason with the Field Marshal it seemed she did not plan on taking a no for an answer. 

'Anna, stop arguing. If you want to get out of there so badly just break all the seals and complete your training. Then you are free to do anything you want,' the Field Marshal seemed to be in no mood to reason with Anna. 

'Wait, what do you mean by all the seals? Tell me I heard wrong, I remember you saying there was only one seal,' Anna asked the Field Marshal, finding discrepancies in her words. 

'When did I say that? I am not responsible for your misunderstandings,' Field Marshal corrected Anna.

Knowing Anna was preferred and more responsive to hands-on learning. As a part of Anna's training, the Field Marshal locked Anna in her mystic space card and Anna could only get out by breaking seals of the mystic space. 

However, it has been days and Anna had made no progress in breaking the first seal of the mystic space card. Meaning she had made no advancement in her training and with the passing day she was right where she started. 

'Misunderstanding? You led me to believe that there was only one seal. Grandaunt let me out. I have to go help protect Wyatt,' Anna began to dream at the top of her telepathic voice. 

'Help protect Wyatt? With your current strength, you will only be in his way. Did you forget the incident on the outskirts of Sky Blossom City? Do I need to remind you how you watched helplessly as the boy made a deal with the devil to save you?' Field Marshal Heatsend did not hold her words back seeing Anna throw a tantrum.

'I clearly remember it, that is the day I knew for sure the boy loved me and wasn't just using me, how can I forget that day? That is why I need to be there by his side. Grandma, let me out,' Anna said remembering the moment the boy came to her rescue risking his life and soul. 

The boy, unlike Anna, was not very open about his feelings for her so somewhere in the deepest part of Anna's heart there was always a doubt if the people were correct that the boy was only using her. Now she knew the boy cared about her enough to risk his life and soul even if he doesn't show it. 

'Your mother was right. You are still not ready for the responsibility your brother is planning to put on your shoulder. Girl, stop talking and get back to training. I am willing to keep you in there for a millennium if that is how long it takes to break all the mystic seals,' Field Marshal Heatsend was starting to think that she should have started Anna's training a lot sooner, maybe by a decade or two. 

'Yes, my mother is right about many things. Why don't you people make her the next heir to the Southern throne?' Anna finally spoke the words weighing in her mind. 

Ann, like many, believed she was not the most desirable candidate to become the next ruler of the Southern Region, her mother was. And today she finally said it out loud.
