Chapter 1123: Starting to Panic

"Oi! How are we going to do this?" The Sword Saint asked. "If we let the Libation Fiesta continue like this, it will be impossible for us to fight them with our current strength.

"Just from the engagement party alone, we now know that the Libation Fiesta has Michael Hacfield and Ezekiel Elseingarde.

"In addition, they have the Skylark family, who can supply an almost endless amount of money.

"Besides, the genius doctor also has a good reputation in the medical industry. If she wants, she could mobilize some forces as well."

The Sword Saint gritted his teeth, glaring at them. He could still remember the previous humiliation.

He didn’t expect that Clovis could fight against him. It was true that he couldn’t win against him, but if the entire group fought him together, the result might be different.

That was why he couldn’t accept the situation.

The Moon Bow scoffed. "Don’t think too highly of yourself. You are just a newbie here. Your defeat doesn’t mean anything."

"My defeat? Says you! Even if we fight, you won’t be able to defeat me. Besides, I wasn’t defeated by them! They ran away from me."

"Yeah, yeah." The Moon Bow just shrugged. "In any case, the situation is pretty clear. It looks like the big clash is inevitable. How are we going to deal with the situation? Is it possible to solve this problem before that big clash?"

The Spear Saint crossed his arms. "I don’t think it’s possible. First of all, the Ghost is backing them. The Ghost has the most extensive intelligence network. Ever since the Hacfield family was destroyed, the Ghost had been hiding.

"After a few decades, the network had been fully established and could be utilized as a weapon. Stel Neven Archive, Steven."

"Haven’t you been using it, Spear Saint?" The Moon Bow smiled.

"You have a knack for annoying people." The Spear Saint shrugged. "I did use it, but I didn’t know about the Ghost at that time. That network traded information with other information, which allowed the network to grow beyond imagination.

"However, you haven’t been doing anything, Moon Bow. You should do something in this case."

The Moon Bow shrugged. "I have injured Ezekiel Elseingarde in the past so that you guys can take an opportunity to hit them hard. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem you have done a great job."

"You should stop right now, Moon Bow, while I’m still polite. You have just fought the weakest Tier 9 human among the rank but you still sustained heavy injuries. You’re not that much better." The Spear Saint shook his head helplessly.

"What did you say?"

"Enough!" The Prophet suddenly opened his mouth.

"!!!" They turned to the Prophet, since they had been waiting for him to speak.

The Prophet said, "Clovis Hacfield will surely come. The preparation is in progress. To make sure that we have enough time, we will have to stall him.

"At the same time, if we stall him for too long, Clovis Hacfield might become a Tier 9 human first.

"So, we will need to find a good balance between preparation and his strength."

They looked at each other. "So, are we supposed to defend the remaining three towers?"

The Prophet nodded. "Yes. I will take care of the Tower of the Lake as usual. In the worst-case scenario, I will be directing all the reinforcements I’ve gathered in this place.

"Meanwhile, expect no reinforcement coming before that. I’m sure that Clovis Hacfield is going to the Tower of the Lake in the near future. He won’t be able to achieve his goal without going there.

"He should also know that the Tower of the Lake is my home turf for a few decades, so he won’t be able to enter this tower without a frontal clash with me.

"Hence, we will have to fight him with numbers. There will soon be a big war that will hit the world.

"If Clovis Hacfield manages to enter the last tower, you can assume that this world will end."

"!!!" They couldn’t help but widen their eyes. The Sword Saint asked, "What do you mean by end? What does it mean? How does Clovis end this world by entering the last tower?"

The Prophet shook his head. "I can’t tell you that. Just know that is what’s at stake. If you play around after knowing this, I will have no choice but to execute you first to stop any instability that you may cause.

"I don’t think you will be playing nice with each other, and I don’t expect you to be friends with each other. Just don’t bring any useless topics that will turn you into enemies.

"For now, we will have to protect the other two towers. Moon Bow, are you good with the Tower of Wilderness? It has a Rank 9 beast to defend it, so you are probably the only one who can hit the enemy from far away to assist that beast without suffering any injuries."

The Moon Bow nodded. "I understand. If that’s my job, then I will take it. I should kill a few members of that Libation Fiesta with a few arrows."

"Try that and let me know if you succeed." The Spear Saint chuckled, clearly not believing he could do it.

"Just you wait. You better prepare a cake and a round of applause once I return." The Moon Bow snorted.

The Prophet nodded and turned to the Spear Saint. "You take the Sword Saint to help with the other tower. If it still doesn’t work, then I’m going to have the three of you protect the sixth tower with all your might.

"It will be good if we can lure out the Madman or the Guardian during that time. Nevertheless, the preparation is hardly complete, so you shouldn’t expect any help from my side anytime soon."

"Is it really that hard?"

"The military force won’t be enough. We will need some insane people who are willing to do the dirty work. In addition, Clovis Hacfield might become a Tier 9 human, and his teammates are unknown. The fact that they could somehow fight the Sword Saint to a stalemate meant their strength couldn’t be underestimated. That’s why I need more people."

"Well..." The Spear Saint looked at the rest, realizing that the Libation Fiesta had indeed risen to a level they didn’t expect.
