Chapter 2177: The Token of Appreciation From the Elder Things

“I’ll make the arrangements.” Dexter nodded. After a brief hesitation, he said, “Apart from that, I’ve something else to report to you, Lord Alex.”

Mag looked at him.

“There was an abnormal movement in the ground under Lantisde last night. The infinity column shook violently for the whole night and it’s still shaking now. This situation has never happened in Lantisde’s thousands of years of history, so I’m afraid this might have something to do with the devil,” Dexter said.

“Something like that happened?” Mag frowned.

Even the Lantisdeans had no idea when and why did Lantisde sink to the bottom of the sea.

However, it was indeed abnormal for sudden earth movements to occur at Lantisde at such a time.

“I will go and investigate this.” Mag nodded. He was about to return to Chaos City to transport the cannons anyways but it seemed like he had to now make a trip to Lantisde as well.

Then, Mag specially brought Dexter to meet up with Dominic. Dominic was basically in charge of all the matters at the frontline, so it was best to let him make the arrangements for the Lantisdeans.

Moreover, the Lantisdeans didn’t bring along any logistics backup, so the Roth Empire had to be responsible for that.

***

After making the appropriate arrangements, Mag and Irina went to the south on their flying steed.

“It will be very troublesome if another Great Old One breaks through the seal.” Irina turned solemn after she listened to Mag’s description.

“I need to go see for myself and get in touch with Xi to see if she knows anything about it.” Mag nodded and sent Xi a message.

Very soon, Mag received Xi’s reply:

“Cthulhu’s old nest, the city of R’lyeh, was sealed under Lantisde. I have already sensed the abnormal movements and have informed the Underground City, but I haven’t received any feedback yet.”

“The city of R’lyeh.” Mag furrowed his eyebrows tightly. He didn’t expect the legendary city to really exist.

In this case, this was indeed very troublesome.

Cthulhu had already amassed 1,000,000 Army of the Dead and prepared to march southwards. At the same time, abnormal movements happened at R’lyeh that was sealed under the sea right now. It was hard not to link the two of them together.

“What’s in there?” Mag sent a new message.

Mag only received Xi’s reply after a long time:

“A miasma barrier appeared beyond R’lyeh City before Cthulhu was sealed. No one could enter. Cthulhu’s loyal servants were all hiding within the city, so our forebears had no choice but to sink Lantisde and sealed it within the deepest trench in the Boundless Sea Realm.

To prevent the Star-Spawn of Cthulhu from damaging the seal, the Elder Things had dragged them to the Underground City and completely separated them from the Norland Continent years ago. However, judging from the constant reappearance of the Star-Spawn of Cthulhu in the Underground City in recent years, I’m afraid that they are still alive.”

Mag fell silent and furrowed his brows tightly after he read that.

“What’s going on?” Irina approached him. She, too, turned solemn after reading the message.

“How do you intend to handle it?” Irina asked Mag.

“This is already beyond what we can handle. Cthulhu and the Army of the Dead in the north have already made all the races give their all. If we let them know that their rear is being threatened right now, their morale will collapse completely.” Mag shook his head.

“So?”

“So, we have to throw this burden to the Elder Things.”

Mag stared at the communicator in his hands and thought for a while before sending another message to Xi.

***

Xi sat next to the window in the spaceship’s lounge. Looking at the message that she had just received on the virtual screen, a hint of hesitation appeared on her perpetually calm face.

Vicki, who had changed back to her black Lolita dress after a shower, looked at Xi and flicked a glance at the virtual screen instinctively.

“Are the Star-Spawn of Cthulhu going to break through their seal too?” Vicki asked in alarm.

“There’s a change at R’lyeh. This might be the reason why Cthulhu isn’t in a hurry to head south with the Army of the Dead.” Xi nodded. Given Vicki’s identity, there was no need to hide this from her.

Vicki was thoughtful as she said, “Given the Norland Continent’s power, it’s already a huge headache to deal with Cthulhu and the 1,000,000 strong Army of the Dead, so he wants to throw this burden to us? He wants us to help them resolve R’lyeh.”

“He has no choice,” Xi calmly said.

She was already very impressed that Alex could organize the split-up and chaotic Norland Continent’s races in such a short time and form a big and combat-powerful allied force.

“The Elder Things were once part of the Norland Continent and R’lyeh is at the Underground City right now. So, why can’t we resolve this problem?” Vicki said to Xi seriously.

“This isn’t something I can decide,” Xi replied calmly.

“I know who can make that decision.” Vicki tapped on her bracelet and linked into the battleship’s network. She dialed the number that she hadn’t dialed in two years.

It was a short call and Vicki was the one to end it. She said to Xi, “You can answer him now. And, please tell him that this is my token of appreciation.”

Xi nodded and looked at Vicki with a different gaze, but she still quickly sent a message to Mag.

Lord Ferdinand agreed to take out R’lyeh City completely, which meant the threat at the bottom of the Boundless Sea Realm was resolved.

The Elder Things’ technology might not be able to take out a powerful invader like Cthulhu, but it wasn’t beyond them to take out the servant races in R’lyeh City.

***

Mag received Xi’s message as soon as he got off the griffin.

The message was short and precise as ever.

“The threat of R’lyeh will be dealt with. This is a token of appreciation from the person whom you saved.”

“The person I saved earlier has solved the problem,” Mag said to Irina smilingly.

“Seems like that person has a high status,” Irina said with surprise.

“She’s someone who can affect the situation at the decision-making level.” Mag nodded in agreement. Indeed, good-heartedness often meets with recompense. It resolved the problem for him right away.

“Please guarantee the safety of the Lantisde’s residents.” Mag put away the communicator after he sent the message and quickly strode into the city lord’s castle.

Mag didn’t tell Michael about R’lyeh and he left the city lord’s castle after getting the cannons.

Mag and Irina went to the ice cream shop, but they simply watched from afar. They left in relief after seeing the two children laughing and eating ice cream by the window happily.

Then, Mag went to the peach mountains in the dragons’ territory.

Half of the peach trees in the mountains that were over thousands of acres, were already cut down.

Orcs and elves were cutting down trees all over the mountains and there were a few big weapon factories that were making peach wood arrows and other weapons urgently.

The dragons were responsible for delivering the completed weapons to the frontline because it was on the way for them.

“According to this efficiency, I don’t have to worry about the weapons being insufficient.” Mag nodded.

He felt rather gratified when he looked at the giant dragons that took off every now and then with piles of wooden boxes on their backs.
