Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Chapter 373 Cargo

While Vincent was doing his inspection within the various departments of the city, the news of his successful seclusion reached Yulia and Severin's ears.

Furthermore, they were informed that a new batch of supplies would be on its way in just a few more hours.

After a very long battle within the outskirts of the Nidite City, their Mage Battalion has grown incredibly stronger after accumulating a lot of combat experience.

However, it doesn't mean that they can just continue fighting without end since they weren't some sort of golem or puppet that has infinite stamina.

They were still exhausted, mentally and physically.

Realizing that Vincent had finished his seclusion, they believe that he has already been informed about their situation and perhaps, the answer to their problem would be sent together with the supplies.

Apparently, their plan to negotiate with the Sea King was unsuccessful.

They have already tried getting assistance from the other Celestial Beings but unfortunately, once those large octopuses started spewing black ink everywhere, they were basically incapacitated under the water and they could only move up and escape.

The black ink coming from those creatures contains disruptive energy that would stop any of their Mana and Aura senses from reaching out more than two meters.

Later on, they learned that this black ink was actually used to coat the Black Tower as well to stop any outsiders from peaking through the important infrastructure.

It is used almost everywhere in the Tower so it was no wonder that even Vincent was also affected by it when he was still studying there.

"I wonder what kind of supplies are we receiving this time?" Yulia muttered.

"Aside from the recovery potions, I believe that Vincent would send some new weapons as well." Severin said as they have clearly informed Calidia about their situation and she should've passed on the information to Vincent.

Before they went here, they have little to no information about their enemies so they were unable to prepare proper weapons and devices to deal with them. However, it is different now.

Their young leader must be aware of the difficulty they are facing.

Although Tara and Rem had also come here for five days to ease up their burden, it was obviously not enough and they needed more assistance…

Luckily, they didn't have to wait for very long as the Avian Lion, the small cargo ship of their city, had arrived with plenty of resources…

The group of knights and magicians were like excited children that wanted to receive their gifts as they surrounded the vessel as soon as it landed.

Ross, Kian, Mark, and Terrence, the squad leaders of the battalion, immediately stood in front as they recognized that familiar aura of the person inside the flying vessel.

"Hahaha… I didn't expect that I would be welcomed like this…" Lar laughed heartily after seeing the crowd that was waiting for his arrival…

"We're waiting for the supplies that were sent, not you, Lar…" Ross replied with a smile as the other squad leaders laughed.

The five of them were part of Qheglena's Followers and were trained together by Yulia. Their closeness did not disappear even after being separated but had only grown stronger.

"Ross, did Vincent send you to solve the matters regarding the Sea King?" Yulia asked curiously. She would actually believe him if he answered yes. After all, Vincent could've provided this man a Legendary Weapon that might be able to help them resolve their problem.

However, Lar just shook his head…

"I only brought some supplies prepared by Sir Vincent and the Beacon Magic Shop… The young leader mentioned that he will be sending someone to deal with the sea creatures later on… It might take quite some time to arrive but he said it should be within the day…"

"Oh? Do you know who will be sent?" Yulia furrowed her brows and asked. She knows that the Celestials were sent to hunt some other Celestials after all.

It means that their strongest fighting force couldn't help them this time.

"I'm not sure as well… In any case, I will be staying here for a while to wait for this reinforcement as well." Lar said as he urged the knights to take out all the crates of potions inside the small cargo ship.

Yulia and Severin looked at each other with confusion but since this was Vincent's arrangement, they can only wait and trust him for now.

Soon, Lola arrived together with her administrators. She also brought the partial payment for the assistance that Vera City had provided them. Well, she thought that the Avian Lion will immediately return after sending some supplies so she hurriedly ran here to hand over the payment so Vincent can immediately look at it.

As per their initial agreement, the assistance that their city received would be paid for by some of their natural resources including access to their dungeons. However, it was only a part of it since Lola also has to provide Vincent with top-class Formation Cores and materials needed for high-level Formation Arts.

This is actually a really good deal for the Nidite City as well since the materials that can be looted from the dead Sea Creatures would be theirs. After killing hundreds of thousands of them, their city has already collected numerous cores and alchemy ingredients!

If these materials were converted to Mana Crystals, they would be worth millions of Mana Crystals! Well, it wouldn't even be a surprise if their gathered resources would pass over a hundred million mark.

Although the quality is low, they are still Beast Cores and many would want to have this item. The only concern is that they can't sell too many of them at once since their value would obviously go down.

Anyway, Lar still accepted the partial payment. Once the Sea King has been dealt with, access to the dungeons would be immediately given as well.

After three more hours when the sun is about to set, they suddenly heard a rumbling noise coming from somewhere. They couldn't pinpoint the location but after a while, a group of messengers hastily arrived in front of Lola to give a report…

"E-emergency! We've seen a huge blue dragon heading this way!"

"We need to put up our defenses to the highest level!"
