Transmigrated Into the World of Magic and Swords-Chapter 176: Going to the Mana Crystal Mine

"Cough...Cough..." Lieutenant Lewis coughed up blood as he forced his legs to keep moving.

Even though he was injured, he didn’t take a rest because he wanted to reach Nightshire City as quickly as possible.

’Just a little more... I’m almost there...’

His head was a little dizzy, but he didn’t stop running.

Meanwhile, at the city guard headquarters, Scarlett was heading to the training grounds with General Viviana and Major General Georgia.

The three of them were discussing the progress of the fresh recruits, as they had recruited two hundred people last month.

"City Mistress, why don’t we capture some 1-star and 2-star magical beasts to use as combat training tools for the new recruits?" Major General Georgia didn’t want to take them to the forest because it was safer to train them at their base.

"I agree with Major General Georgia, city mistress." General Viviana agreed instantly because this would allow the trainee guards to experience real battle in a safe environment.

"That’s a great idea, Major General Georgia." Scarlett responded, "But who will be the ones to catch them?"

"Please leave it to me, city mistress." Major General Georgia volunteered since she was the one who suggested the idea.

"Alright. Then, I will lea-"Scarlett stopped her words halfway when she saw Lieutenant Lewis running toward them in a bad state.

"Report, city mistress. We disco-cough...cough...cough..." Lieutenant Lewis coughed up blood before he finished his words.

However, his blood didn’t squirt onto Scarlett and the others as he immediately covered his mouth.

Scarlett retrieved a health potion and gave it to him. "Drink this first."

"Thank you, city mistress." Lieutenant Lewis accepted it immediately.

After he drank the health potion, Scarlett asked, "What happened? Where are the others?"

"City mistress, we..." Lieutenant Lewis steadied his breath before continuing, "...we discovered a Mana Crystal mine."

"Mana Crystal mine?!" Major General Georgia said in surprise.

"Let’s head to my office and discuss there." It was a serious discussion, so Scarlett didn’t want to talk about it outside.

"City mistress, we don’t have much time. We have to return to that place immediately." Lieutenant Lewis refused because Captain Alice and the others were still in a life-and-death situation.

Scarlett was startled, but she didn’t show it on her face. "What’s wrong?"

"It’s like this..." Lieutenant Lewis explained everything in detail.

"Captain Alice and the others are currently fighting against people from Nafield city and Icria City?" Scarlett almost failed to control her emotions because she previously thought they were the only ones who discovered the Mana Crystal mine.

"City mistress, we need to send reinforcement immediately." Lieutenant Lewis didn’t want Captain Alice and the others to die, so he urgently requested Scarlett to act at once.

"City mistress, please give me an order." General Viviana said, "I will save them and secure the Mana Crystal mine."

Lieutenant Lewis was thrilled after hearing General Viviana’s words because she was Scarlett’s strongest subordinate.

When Scarlett was about to agree, she remembered Ren’s Void Steps skill. "General Viviana, don’t go immediately. Find Ren first."

"Can you please tell me the reason, city mistress?" General Viviana was shocked by Scarlett’s response. freewёbnoνel.com

Not only General Viviana, but lieutenant Lewis and Major General Georgia were also stunned.

However, they did not say anything because they believed she had a good reason for giving that order.

"Ren has a divine skill that allows him to travel thousands of kilometers with only a single step." Scarlett responded, "We can save Captain Alice and the others quickly with his help."

"Travel thousands of kilometers in a single step?" Lieutenant Lewis widened his eyes in surprise, but at the same time, he was delighted because this greatly increased their chances of saving Captain Alice and the others.

"Then, I will find Ren now, city mistress." General Viviana ordered some of her subordinates to help her because, with this, they could find him faster.

After they disappeared into the distance, Scarlett said, "Lieutenant Lewis, head to the Healing Hall and have a healing mage treat your wounds."

She then continued, "We still need you to guide us to the Mana Crystal Mine, so I want you to recover as quickly as possible and prepare to set out."

"Understood, city mistress." Lieutenant Lewis bowed slightly before finally heading to the Healing Hall.

Scarlett turned to Major General Georgia and spoke, "Major General Georgia, let’s postpone our previous plan since the situation has changed."

Scarlett said they should prioritize securing the Mana Crystal mine, as possessing it could completely change the future of their city.

"Understood, city mistress." Major General Georgia responded.

Shortly after that, General Viviana arrived at the city guard headquarters with Ren and Luna.

Scarlett and Major General Georgia, who were at the training grounds watching the newcomers, were shocked when they saw Ren and Luna because Ren had a white fox mask on, while Luna had a blue fox mask on.

"Why are you both wearing masks?" Scarlett asked curiously.

"We found a mask shop earlier and decided to buy them." Ren gave an honest answer.

"The masks are good, so we bought it." Luna added.

"I see." Scarlett responded, "Ren, do you know why I called you here?"

"I know." General Viviana explained everything on their way to the city guard headquarters, so he knew the reason why Scarlette called him.

Scarlett didn’t explain anything anymore because he had already known about it.

Shortly after that, Lieutenant Lewis appeared and bowed slightly toward her. "City mistress, I’m ready."

Scarlett gave a nod before returning her attention to Ren. "Ren, please save Captain Alice and the others and secure the Mana Crystal mine."

"Alright." He responded, "Lieutenant Lewis, please tell me the position of the Mana Crystal mine in detail."

"The Mana Crystal Mine is located northwest of here." Lieutenant Lewis provided Ren with the exact distance, ensuring he would not take them to the wrong place.

"Alright." Ren then squatted down and gently took Luna’s hands in his. "Luna, big brother needs to go save Captain Alice and the others. Be a good girl and stay here, okay?"

"Un." Luna agreed without complaint.

"Don’t worry. I will be with her." Scarlett said.

Ren rose to his feet and said, "Lieutenant Lewis, General Viviana, please stand on either side of me. I will take you to the Mana Crystal mine now."

Lieutenant Lewis and General Viviana did what they were told.

Ren grabbed their hands and spoke, "Scarlett, we are off."

"Un." Scarlett nodded.

Right after Ren lifted his right leg, the scenery around them shifted. The view of the city guard headquarters transformed into countless trees and mountains.

The once-busy training ground had vanished, replaced by a forest where trees swayed gently in the wind.

Lieutenant Lewis and General Viviana were stunned by what was happening. Even though they remained silent, their faces betrayed their utter shock.

’This is...’

They slowly turned to Ren.

Ren acted normally and smiled softly at them. "Lieutenant Lewis, where is the location of the Mana Crystal mine?"

Lieutenant Lewis instantly came to his senses after hearing his question, "It’s fifty meters from here. I will guide you."

Ren and General Viviana nodded before following Lieutenant Lewis from behind.

When they were in the tunnel, Ren grabbed their hands and used his Divine Steps skill to avoid the traps.

The sound of weapons clashing reached their ears as they walked in mid-air. Even though it had been more than an hour, the battle of the three cities was not over yet.

None of them refused to fall because it was related to the future and reputation of their cities.

"Die, you scum from Nightshire City, Icria City." Captain Elias roared as he jumped high into the sky.

But before he could unleash his strongest move, a streak of blue lightning shot toward him, and a second later, his lifeless body collapsed to the ground, his head separated from his body.

The soldiers of Nightshire City, Icria City and Nafield City were stunned by what they were seeing.

Of course, people from Nightshire City and Icria City were thrilled because Nafield City had no powerful awakener now.

"Cap...captain Elias..." Captain Elias’ subordinates dropped to their knees when they saw his lifeless body.

They were currently facing soldiers from two cities. Now that he had died, the chances of them winning the fight had dropped to zero.

Big zero!

As they were in a state of shock, Lieutenant Lewis and General Viviana rushed toward the soldiers of Nightshire City.

"Captain Alice, everyone..." Lieutenant Lewis uttered.

"Lieutenant Lewis, how come you are here?" Captain Alice was shocked to see him, as the distance between Nightshire City and the Mana Crystal Mine should have made it impossible for him to return so quickly.

Her shock deepened even further when she saw General Viviana.

’What’s going on?’

A question popped up in her mind.

"Ren used his Divine class skill to take us to this place." Lieutenant Lewis answered, "You are safe now, Captain Alice."

"Ren? A Divine class skill?" Captain Alice turned to the young man who was a few meters away from her.

She could not see his face because his back was facing her.

’Ren?’

A feeling of relief came over her as Ren turned his head and smiled softly at her.

She didn’t know why, but at that moment, she felt like everything would be fine.

"You! Who are you?!" Captain Reid was unhappy when he saw newcomers because they were already in a bad state.

"I’m Ren." Ren answered as he smiled. "Alright. I’ve already introduced myself, so it’s time for you guys to die."

The moment his voice faded, his body transformed into a streak of blue lightning, hurtling toward them with unstoppable force.

It was then that the soldiers of Icria City and Nafield City realized that their doom had arrived.
