Duke Storm said, "As agreed, Silver City's troops at the front have already marched to the Eastern Continent. They will stop at Relay Island No. 1 for one day to resupply and will arrive at the Eastern Continent Federation within three days. Storm City's troops will also depart in five days. You should give me the remaining list of the Parents' Meeting. This time, an Arbitrator will accompany the troops."
The troops that He Jinqiu had previously wiped out in Silver City were not all of them. More troops were actually at the outpost outside the Forbidden Forest. Now, the Roosevelt Kingdom has recalled them, and the possessed Tenth Prince, as the new Silver Duke, is leading the troops to become the vanguard of the Empire's eastern expedition.
The massive troop transport airships are ready, and the air force and army can land simultaneously to complete the occupation.
“There was a problem with the list you gave us earlier. A puppet contacted us and said that those PTA members are not dead,” Duke Storm said.
“Impossible,” the young man said with a smile. “There must be something wrong with your operation. Don’t try to shift the blame onto me.”
Duke Storm's face was gloomy. He had only learned yesterday that the Storm had spent a day and a night and countless black magic materials to reach the Forbidden Forest, only to have the curse come to nothing.
Those who were cursed are now alive and kicking in the Eastern Continent Federation!
Duke Storm pondered. The fact that the dark magic materials had turned to ashes proved that the curse had taken effect. But the question was, why didn't those people die?
There are only two explanations. One is that the puppeteer provided incomplete information: real name and birthday, only the former was correct. In this case, although the curse will still take effect, its power will be greatly reduced.
Another explanation is that Kurohahara possessed special protection.
If the latter is the cause, then the Parents' Association will be completely unprepared in the Eastern Continent Federation. Once their Storm City vanguard arrives in the Eastern Continent, they can cast the curse again, resulting in a significant loss of the Parents' Association's core elite forces.
The young man in the cell laughed and said, "The information I gave you is absolutely correct. You need to look for the reasons within yourselves."
"Does the Joker have a birthday?" Duke Storm asked.
“No, his birthday in the real world is fake,” the young man said with a smile, “but… I got one of his baby teeth, from when he was 5 years old.”
Duke Storm raised an eyebrow: "You actually managed to get your hands on something like this."
The young man laughed and said, "I found it at his mother's house. I was quite surprised that the person had kept it until now. Logically speaking, his heartless mother shouldn't have kept something like this..."
"Could it be the baby tooth of that woman's second son?" Duke Storm seemed to know Qing Chen very well.
“No, there’s a picture of Joker in that box, and on the back of the picture is written ‘Commemorating my son’s first losing of his baby teeth,’” the young man laughed. “Is this a thoughtful gift?”
“That’s enough. This baby tooth will kill him. I will personally go to the Eastern Continent to cast dark magic on him,” Duke Storm turned and left.
The young man stood up and laughed loudly in the white light of the cell: "The parent-teacher association has become our common enemy. Get rid of them, curse them!"
That night, not only did the Silver City troops set off, but the Storm City vanguard also departed... Duke Storm revised his plans.
The war came earlier and more unexpectedly than anticipated.
Chapter 940, Leaving now is for returning one day.
midnight.
The air force base in Silver City was bustling with activity, as airships were constantly taking off under command, reaching designated altitudes in the sky, and forming expeditionary formations.
The soldiers in the base stood on the ground and looked up. The signal lights of the airships formed a giant arrow in the sky, flying towards the Forbidden Sea.
The new Silver Duke stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass of the tower, with nine newly appointed Black Knights behind him.
These black knights were all disciples of the previous Silver Duke, the second, fifth, and sixth princes, and their strength varied greatly, with some being R-rank and others A-rank.
Today, this legacy has survived, becoming nothing more than a pawn in the hands of the royal family.
Once everything was ready, the Silver Duke turned to the Black Knight behind him: "The time for revenge has come. It's time to inflict a heavy price on the Eastern Continent. We will arrive at Relay Island in one day and join forces with the Storm City fleet. We will land in the north of the Eastern Continent Federation, consolidate the forces of Kashima and Kamishiro in the north within a month, and take over the Federation within three months."
After six months of construction, the relay island is finally ready for use, enabling the empire to launch an unprecedented war.
At the same time, the troops of Storm City were also assembling at the fastest speed. An airship slowly sailed in through the night sky and landed on the Storm Sky Fortress.
Duke Storm stepped down the suspended stairs and entered the Stormship: "Bring K to see me!"
Someone whispered a reminder: "Duke, K has been killed by the Joker, and R has taken his place."
Duke Storm paused for a moment: "Then let R handle it."
At that moment, R entered the dark room where the Arbiter was casting dark magic. The Storm Duke looked at him and asked, "Are you ready?"
R turned around and saw his subordinates carrying a door in. One of them took out a golden Eye of True Sight and spun it ten times, causing ripples to spread slowly across the door.
R said, "After a month of trying, someone finally opened the Key Gate in City 18."
Duke Storm said coldly, "What I want is for you to open the Key Gate directly in City 10! Not in City 18!"
R explained, "Cities 18 and 10 are known as the Federal Twin Stars, and they are only 600 kilometers apart, which is enough for you to perform black magic."
Upon hearing this, Duke Storm's expression softened slightly: "Let's begin."
The next moment, dozens of Arbitrators pulled boxes filled with dark magic materials into the Key Gate.
Opposite the door was a spacious, single-level apartment. All the sofas and furniture were covered with white cloth, and all the curtains were drawn. It seemed that the owner of the apartment had been gone for a long time.
The adjudicators ignored all of this, each sitting cross-legged on the apartment floor, taking out the dark magic materials they needed from boxes.
The departure of the Storm City fleet was merely a ruse; they had already prepared a plan to travel to the Eastern Continent, intending to strike the Parents' Association hard while they were completely unprepared!
This time, even Duke Storm has come to City 18 in person; he is going to personally cast the curse.
In the spacious Upper Third District apartment, a group of adjudicators quickly reapplied the spells on the previous parent-teacher association lists.
They pronounced the names with obvious skill, and one by one, the dark magic materials turned to ashes, and one by one, the life and death curses took effect.
Duke Storm's expression finally calmed down as he watched this scene.
He took out his dark magic materials, and the first curse he cast was not on Qing Chen, but on the black spider.
Duke Storm always knew Black Spider's real name and birthday, which was the basis for his firm control over Black Spider.
It was a success.
He watched as the dark magic materials in front of him turned to ashes, which drifted before him and formed the face of a black skull before dissipating completely.
This is a sign that the curse of life and death has succeeded.
However, the Storm Duke was not happy, which meant that the Black Spider was indeed right next to the Joker.
“Lowly woman,” Duke Storm said coldly.
He took out another set of dark magic materials: the dried skin of a black-spotted frog, dew from a tea tree, tears of a giant, the molted skin of an anaconda, the placenta of a premature woman, and the umbilical cord of a child born on Christmas Day.
All of these are top-grade black magic materials; he intends to use them to curse the powerful Joker.
Finally, he took out a baby tooth and placed it in the center of the six-pointed star.
The Arbiter's life-and-death curse, if only the real name and birthday are available, can only curse targets weaker than oneself. However, once physical tissues such as blood and hair are available, the life-and-death curse can be used on targets of the same level.
success.
But then they saw the dark magic materials turn to ash and condense in the air.
Meanwhile, Qingchen was writing furiously in the garrison office, formulating new guidelines and policies for the parents' meeting.
Suddenly, he turned to look at the string of Buddhist prayer beads on his left wrist, beyond the Three Realms.
Qingchen felt a chilling wind clinging to him, like a leech that wouldn't leave him.
The next moment, Qing Chen felt a portion of the lightning essence being drawn from his body from beyond the Three Realms...
"Dark magic?" He frowned.
This time, Qing Chen did not wait for the lightning essence to be extracted from the Three Realms, but instead tried to actively pour the lightning essence into the Buddhist beads before it stopped!
Outside the Three Realms, he accepted everything that came his way, like a whale sucking its prey. As long as it was given by Qing Chen, he would accept it all.
In an instant, golden symbols lit up on the Buddhist beads beyond the Three Realms.
Qing Chen was stunned for a moment. This was the first time he had ever seen such a change on the Buddhist beads from beyond the Three Realms!
But... what is its purpose?
As the Buddhist beads absorbed half of the Thunder Whale from Qing Chen's body, a golden light suddenly shone behind Duke Storm in the apartment in City 18!
Duke Storm smiled coldly, as if he was prepared. He slightly turned to the side to dodge, letting the golden monk behind him miss his target with a single palm strike.
However, just as he was about to relax, he saw out of the corner of his eye that another monk appeared on his right, another on his left, and yet another in the sky...
The Eighteen Arhats.
Eighteen monks firmly blocked all of Duke Storm's escape routes, and one of them attacked him with a set of blows!
Even though Duke Storm was already at the peak of demigod status, and even though these golden Arhats were only A-rank... Duke Storm still took seven or eight blows and coughed up blood!
The sudden appearance of eighteen A-level beings caught even a demigod off guard!
But after the eighteen golden beams of light succeeded, they all converged on one of the men, who smiled and clasped their hands together in the light: "Was that good?"
A judge who spoke Chinese quickly translated: "Are you happy?"
Duke of Storms: "?"
Is this even a proper monk?!
A respectable monk can beat someone up and then ask you if you're happy.
The monk vanished in the light and disappeared without a trace.
Duke Storm stood up and instructed, "Joker is in an uncursable state, so there's no need to try again. Kill the others first! Even if you can't kill them, force them to cower in Blackleaf Plains and never dare to come out again."
Wizard R watched silently from the side. He did not tell Duke Storm that Zhongyu had gathered the remnants of the World Kingdom Organization, but instead planned to tell Zhongyu everything that had happened here.
...
...
In City 10, Qing Chen sat behind his desk watching the light beyond the Three Realms dim. He knew that the martial monk had probably gone out again.
But now he regrets it a little. Now he is a demigod. If he hadn't brought the Three Realms with him, even if Duke Storm cast a curse on him, the curse of life and death would have backfired on him.
He suddenly stood up, walked outside the office, and called out loudly, "Xiao Qi! Lao Luo!"
In the quiet of the midnight hour, all the offices were lit up. Hearing Qingchen's call, everyone opened their doors and came out into the corridor.
"What's wrong, boss?" Luo Wanya asked.
Qing Chen said, "Evacuate! All core members of the parent-teacher association must evacuate as soon as possible!"
"Where to retreat to?" Luo Wanya asked.
"Black Leaf Plain! Evacuate in batches, by area, according to our previously established plan!" Qing Chen said solemnly. "I was just cursed by dark magic, which means the Arbiter is within 1200 kilometers of us! While evacuating, have the newly joined non-core members search every corner of City 10 for traces of the Arbiter!"
Qing Chen frowned. If the other party was in City 10, it would be fine, but if the other party was in Li's City 18, it would be difficult.
