The Star Train's Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 79 Night Raid on Cripper Castle

Sambo, along with Xing, March 7th, and Bronya, headed to the Lower City, while Meng Huaifeng and Walter chose to remain in the Upper City.

Bronya's disappearance will surely attract Cocolia's attention. Many people know that Hilva invited Bronya, so to avoid trouble, Hilva, Meng Huaifeng, and Walter temporarily hid in an empty house in the Rift Erosion Zone.

As night fell, the atmosphere in Cripper Castle became extremely oppressive, with a suffocatingly low pressure permeating the air.

"Still haven't found Bronya? Beloberg is only this big. It's one thing if we can't find those nine wanted criminals, but we can't even find Bronya. They're all a bunch of useless trash! Send more men!" Cocolia was furious.

"High Guardian, we cannot send any more men! The defenses are already extremely weak. If we withdraw any more, we will create a breach. If any Rift creatures attack the city, Beloborg will be in grave danger! In fact, the current situation is extremely dangerous!" Jepard always obeyed the High Guardian's orders, but even he couldn't help but stand up and object now.

“Jepard Landau, it’s all because of your sister that Bronya went out alone and has now disappeared. If anything happens to Bronya, the heir to the High Warden, your Landau family will bear an unshirkable responsibility!” Cocolia looked at Jepard with a chilling gaze.

Jepard lowered his head in shame: "I'm sorry, but Shiluwa is also missing now."

"It must have been those invaders. We must find them. If we can't find them in the city, then we'll search the Rift Zone! Execute the order!" Cocolia said.

“Yes!” Jepard gritted his teeth and said. The Rift was extremely dangerous. He wasn’t afraid, but it was too dangerous for ordinary Silvermane Iron Guards.

Squads of Silvermane Iron Guards stormed into the Rift Zone, smashing open gate after gate and searching every room.

The commotion alerted countless beings from the Rift Realm, who then surrounded the Silvermane Iron Guards.

Above a tall building, four figures were silently watching the Iron Guards' movements. Walter distorted his vision to conceal their figures.

“Cocolia is insane. Does she know how many casualties this will cause?” Shiluwa’s eyes seemed to be spitting fire.

“She wouldn’t care about that. Perhaps this is what she wants—a rare excuse to openly and legitimately cause losses to the Silver Mane Iron Guards,” Meng Huaifeng said.

“Should we call Bronya back? Only she can defy Cocolia’s orders and get those Iron Guards to retreat,” Hilva said.

"No need. Let her face reality. I'm here; nothing will happen," Walter said calmly.

With a light tap of his staff, Walter unleashed an invisible ripple that precisely enveloped all the Rift creatures, slowing them down.

Meanwhile, the bullets on the Iron Guards' guns were also silently modified by Welt using his Herrscher powers, making them even more lethal.

Whenever someone is in danger, the gravity on the Rift Creature increases dramatically, giving the Iron Guardian time to react.

In another room, Silver Wolf watched this scene from afar and muttered, "Tsk, no wonder they're the Nameless Guests, a bunch of pushovers, forcing themselves into a difficult situation."

“That’s why they became the saviors in Elio’s prophecy,” Kafka added.

"Isn't it true that good people don't live long, while evil people live for a thousand years?"

"So in the worst-case scenario, they all died."

"You've said both the truth and the sarcasm." Silver Wolf curled his lip in disdain, lowered his head and continued playing the game. He was disappointed that Ah Xing wasn't online.

As the number of wounded Silvermane Iron Guards gradually increased, the remaining Iron Guards eventually had to withdraw from the Rift Zone, leaving only Jepard's team behind.

Jepard breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, although many people were injured, no one died. The Rift creatures they encountered today seemed weaker than usual, not only moving slowly but also having much less ability to withstand attacks.

May the Amber King protect us. The lights of Crepper Castle have not gone out all night; Cocolia has not rested for two days and two nights.

The Silvermane Iron Guards patrolled the entire Beloborg region in two shifts, while Jepard personally led an elite Iron Guard team to search the Rift Zone.

The Silvermane Iron Guard's big move frightened many people, who dared not go out, making the entire Belleburg extremely deserted.

Meng Huaifeng teleported Walter and Hilva to the Frozen Territory. Fortunately, no other creatures saw their teleportation, and the Pleasure effect bestowed by Aha was not triggered.

They planned to try to find the star's core directly.

After a day's work, the three of them found the creation engine buried under the snow. They originally thought the star core would be near the creation engine, but after searching around, they couldn't find it.

Meng Huaifeng secretly tested the Heavenly Inquiry Technique. The star core was nearby, and it might be easy to find it.

Unfortunately, Silver Wolf stopped him in time.

Silver Wolf had the script, knowing exactly when and where to stop him. Even if he tried to use it secretly, Silver Wolf couldn't do anything about it; he had no chance.

That night, still empty-handed, Meng Huaifeng and his companions returned to Belberg.

In the distance, the lights of Cripper Castle finally went out; Cocolia was clearly exhausted and had finally gone to rest.

Meng Huaifeng's heart stirred. He hadn't gone directly to Cocolia before because he was worried about causing chaos. Now that she had inexplicably issued a warrant for their arrest, chaos had already been caused, so being a little more aggressive wouldn't hurt.

Meng Huaifeng quietly sneaked into Kripper Castle and was about to enter Cocolia's bedroom when two figures blocked his way.

“Listen to me, go back. You’ve already looked for Cocolia, but unfortunately, Cocolia doesn’t know the exact location of the star core either,” Kafka said softly, her voice containing a strange magic.

Meng Huaifeng was somewhat dazed and turned to leave.

However, having known all along that the Star Core Hunter was in Yalilo VI, how could Meng Huaifeng not have considered how to defend against Kafka's most proficient Word Magic?

The moment it was detected that Meng Huaifeng was under control, a rapid alarm clock rang in Meng Huaifeng's mind.

It was Meng Huaifeng who was controlled by the Word of Power, not the mobile phone martial soul. As everyone knows, mobile phones have artificial intelligence. Meng Huaifeng had already made a setting so that as long as he was controlled, the mobile phone would automatically try to break free from the control.

The alarm clock's urgent sound, amplified by the imaginary energy, jolted Meng Huaifeng awake from his drowsy state.

"Sigh, Word Magic really doesn't work." Kafka sighed in disappointment.

"Your Word of Power can only control life, not mobile phones or computers," Silver Wolf said matter-of-factly.

“I can clearly control the android life,” Kafka said quietly.

“You said it yourself, life, even machine life is life.” Silver Wolf shrugged.

"If you had also hacked into his phone's gadgets at the same time, wouldn't you have succeeded?"
