Chapter 1763 King of Bearling -Part 1
They were instantly teleported out of the dungeon instance the moment the Three Winged Angel finished his conversation with them. Most of the paper they held had disappeared except for the one that Jin was holding.
"Are you feeling okay?" Jin asked Old Flammet as he felt that there was no resolution when it came to that conversation for the old Mecha Smith.
"Yes… and he gave me this." It was an enamel pin of a design or crest that Jin did not recognise and he hazarded a guess from it.
"Your guild?"
"More precisely, the guild master's pin. Gerrad's pin." That monster kept it in the same condition as it was. Old Flammet said that but in reality, that pin exudes old memories that the Three Winged Angel had implanted into it from Gerrad's time as a human before he became a minion under him.
That was why when Old Flammet was speaking to Jin, his tears flowed uncontrollably down his face and he held on to the pin tight. In those old days of guild raiding, managing both good and sad times together, Old Flammet requested that he be left alone as he made his way up the hill to say goodbye to him once more.
"Will he be ehhh okay? Click asked Jin and all her commander could say was "Only time can tell." \
"At the very least, he mended the gaping hole which he kept as a secret for many years." Nie came by and greeted them. "He might not be able to able to forget the mistakes he made, but at least he will come to terms with it."
"You made it sound like you are older than him," Diaz remarked and Nie shrugged his shoulders. "I can only say that time wounds and heal the same scars at the same time. That was what it is to be human. To make mistakes and move forward regardless of the consequences."
"We will only move forward if we have been fed with electricity," Yinn replied and the rest of the team looked at her with disbelief. They do not know whether she is making a cold joke or she was making a statement.
"In any case, I see that all of you are in a healthy state, there was no fight at all?"
"No, it was just a conversation and getting the rewards," Jin showed Nie the piece of paper and he could not believe it.
"I mean considering the amount of time and effort you have been through, you are finally able to fight the Empire Royals. Are you going ask Archduke for help?" Nie asked which made Jin to think about it.
"What are the chances of me losing without him?" Jin asked and Nie shook his head honestly. There was no way for him to know.
"The problem with you is that there are times you appeared weak and there are also times you went crazy hard on with the strongest of monsters until people could not believe you," Nie said and the rest of the Grey Bear Squad nodded their head.
"He wants to hide his abilities but at the same time flashes them so openly. After which, he will say that he is just some normal dude. Like who will believe him?" Click said so bluntly the rest nodded their head in agreement at the same time once more.
"You guys…"
"We are merely saying the truth. There's nothing wrong with saying the truth." Click replied with a cheeky face. However, they all knew that they were trying to make light of the situation after Old Flammet had left to visit his friend. Yet, the only one who took things seriously was Page. She asked for the contract again and read it once more.
"No, Jin. I do not think you are able to call Archduke for help." Page stated as she underlined pointed at the last part of the contract which was covered with small fonts. "It states here only the Grey Bear Squad and Jin are authorised to have this exclusion. Any other companions would be forfeited unless it is part of their powers. I am assuming he wrote there to exclude things like summoning magic that Click can use."
"Lol. If that's the case then it's fine. The Three Winged Angel most slightly do not know that this will give us an edge, an advantage that he had not seen. He will be in for a show." Jin said.
"However, that would mean it is best we go extremely equipped with guns blazing that kind of stuff." Diaz's eyes lit up. "I saw Gramps Enhanced Mechanoid Armour. Nie, do you think you can make more of those? If all six of us go in with those Enhanced Mechanoid Armour as well as equipping us with heavy weapons like artillery cannons, we most probably can go all out."
"Then you probably need something like the helicarrier to bring you guys to the Empire. Otherwise, there is no way you can go in there with those things unseen."
"That, you might be wrong," Yinn spoke up. "The train tracks here would eventually be connected to the central districts of the Empire, correct?"
"Yes, but it will still take a few weeks, maybe a few months is possible."
"I am sure with regards to that, Jin can make the Archduke perform some magic to make sure that it works. Then, we put in as much as we could while the train goes in the Empire Central, Bearling. In the meantime, Jin perhaps fly a bunch of planes along with a few AI controlled planes beside him."
"So, I am the bait?" Jin asked and Yin nodded.
"You are not just the bait. You are the main attraction, doing what you need to do to get their attention, thinking that the fight is being done in the skies but in actual fact, we are going to be transported deeper into Bearling and we can start the fight from there." Yinn said with much confidence, it sounded like a workable plan.
