Noland Lee touched his nose, smiling awkwardly yet politely.
You must be dreaming if you think I’ll give back the money I’ve earned, hmph, even if you are a beautiful witch with a great figure.
This must be Philia’s bargaining tactic.
Yeah.
Definitely.
Seeing Noland Lee remaining indifferent and maintaining a courteous smile, Philia glanced at him with a hint of resentment:
..lf you had agreed to help from the beginning, I wouldn’t have been robbed by Hickman Arlington…”
Noland Lee continued to smile without saying anything.
“Sister, I’ve processed all the soul fragments.” Betty Davis ran over with a crystal in her arms.
Philia composed herself, placed the crystal filled with soul fragments into the alchemy stone, and turned to call her team members together.
After some arrangements, Noland Lee and a ten-person security team set out. They left the Underground Layer 10, passed through the neighboring Sector 9, and headed to the Underground Layer 14 in Sector 8.
In the frontline battle, Philia’s side had one Second Ring Wizard, four First Rank Wizards, and 30 armed security personnel.
Philia was the only Second Ring Wizard. Betty was one of the four First Rank Wizards, and the other three First Rank Wizards were also female and about the same age as Betty.
Don’t think they are weak because of their gender.
They all possessed the talents of being elemental wizards and alchemists second to none. Otherwise, they would not have mastered an extraordinary branch of knowledge in addition to the magic and alchemy of their age. The difficulty of studying this is similar to pursuing a double major in chemistry and physics.
Philia and the others summoned their alchemy weaponry, transforming them into female meow race.
Philia waved her hand, and a handful of light orbs were taken out from the alchemy stone and scattered on the ground, summoning five mechanical spiders equipped with alchemy firearms.
She took out five control gloves, distributed them to the four First Rank Wizards, and put one on herself.
Five wizards wore the alchemy weaponry, controlling the alchemical constructs. Their left hands were gloved for controlling the alchemical constructs, and their right hands held their magic wands.
From their skillful movements, it could be seen that this group of delicate-looking female meow race had mastered some kind of ambidextrous coordination.
Noland Lee and the armed security personnel arrived at Floor 14 Underground and set up a blockade beneath the ceiling’s hollow.
The armed security personnel took out light machine guns, electric shock guns, and other weapons; they built a firepower net with various gun lines to seal off the enemy’s escape routes in all directions.
They also deployed electric shock traps and directional explosive alchemy land mines near the metal sluice gates throughout the 14th underground layer.
The entire 14th underground layer was tightly guarded with no gaps for air.
Unless the Blackbone Hermit had invincibility all the way, they would take a few hits while trying to escape.
Could the Elemental Judgement succeed in encircling and killing the Blackbone Hermit by doing this?
Noland Lee thought it was uncertain.
Let’s not talk about the situation on the frontlines for now – just the blockade to intercept the enemy was a significant issue.
Why did the Blackbone Hermit have to go through the 14th underground layer?
Wouldn’t it be the same if they blasted open the nest walls of the 13th underground layer on both sides and left from the adjacent sectors?
The nest of the demonized rats was indeed a Sage Space, but that didn’t mean it couldn’t be destroyed.
Sage Space could be seen as a container created by Great Sages.
When the Great Sages were present, anyone who dared to destroy the container would be beaten by the Great Sages. With the power of the Sages, the Sage Space would be indestructible.
But now, the Great Sage who controlled the demonized rat nest was long gone; no one could prevent the Sage Space from being destroyed, and no one could repair the damage to the Sage Space in time.
So, the Blackbone Hermit could entirely take an unconventional route, break horizontally through the wall, and enter Sector 7 to retreat.
This was just one loophole Noland Lee thought of.
Of course, he was just a hired hand in this matter; it wasn’t his concern.
Philia had the map of the corridors, and given her meticulous thinking and the intellectual training she had received, she should have considered the potential loopholes in the encirclement plan.
Noland Lee had the social experience from before crossing over and knew the strategy of “saying less makes fewer mistakes” for blending in.
At this time, all he had to do was carry out his task; he didn’t want to think about anything else.
In the corridor of Layer 14 Underground.
Noland Lee was standing behind two light machine guns and an alchemy trap, with tense security personnel by his side.
He activated “Life and Death Tracking” and looked up at the demon rat nest above his head.
Many rats with the size of a washbasin were silhouetted before his eyes.
There were also several half-human-height demon rat elites walking upright. They were human-faced demon rats.
It was said that for every ten thousand demonized rats, one human-faced demon rat would appear, possessing higher intelligence, speaking basic human languages, and able to understand simple sentences.
The ordinary demonized rats had mastered three types of magic: Summon Earth Mound, Acid Spray, and Demon Rat Frenzy.
On top of that, the human-faced demon rats had additional spells like “Command Rat Swarm,” “Spread Rodent Plague,” “Rat Explosion Technique,” and “Falling Rock Technique”, each with considerable power.
This information came from the access instrument of the Subdivision of Alchemy Cathedral.
For many years, the Cat Society had been developing the demon rat nests and had gained experience in safely traversing the nests.
After applying an alchemy potion to repel rat swarms to themselves, Philia and the others entered the nest, traveling from the first level to the second level, and gradually approached the third level.
The supposedly smooth journey was interrupted by a sharp whistle.
The sound came from the third level of the demon rat nest, high-pitched and piercing, like a chorus of countless rodents.
