Apart from the Venomous Snakes and Scorpions, Egypt's undead and Mummy kept showing up. Cairo was already having a hard time fending off the Venomous Snakes and Scorpions. It was difficult to tell how many inches of land Cairo could defend when the army of undead showed up!
It was the most serious incident in Cairo's history. Half of the city was occupied by the undead. It took many years for the undead to reclaim the land they had lost.
This time, the deathlight of the Pyramid of Khafre spread far into the distance. It shrouded the entire city and awakened the undead scattered across Gisele and the Bargo Land.
The longer the deathlight lasted, the longer some of the old mummies would awaken. While Cairo's military might be powerful and experienced, as long as there were a few more pharaohs, their defense line could still be breached.
Luckily, the Battlemages did not chase after Mo Fan and his crew, thanks to the presence of the undead.
Some patrolling Magicians were still chasing after them. A few squads of Battlemages had also appeared in front of them. However, as long as they were not squads of Intermediate Magicians, they could not pose any threat to the three peak Advanced Magicians.
Breaking into the city was a lot smoother than they had imagined. That being said, it was not something they should be proud of, as their next destination was the most dangerous one: the command center!
The command center was the center of Cairo's military. Those who were allowed to enter the place were at least military officers. Commanders could be seen everywhere …
"Mofan, are you sure she's in the command center?" Heidi asked.
"Mm, I left some Dark Material on her. It's very faint," Mofan said.
Mofan and his crew successfully shook off their pursuers after passing through the city. They sneaked into the city. Mofan did not dare waste any time, since they might still have a chance to save Apas.
The command center was the place Fenna had brought them to. They were following the Dark Material, which was their final destination. However, the Dark Material was very faint. Mofan had no idea if Apas was still alive. However, if Mofan was one of the ugly Battlemages, Apas would be nowhere to be found.
"Let's save Zhao Manyan first. We'll be safer with him around," Mofan said.
Mofan would not have the chance to cast a powerful spell if they were surrounded by so many Mages. However, if Zhao Manyan was around, Mofan could bombard the enemy without restraint!
"But we don't know where Zhao Manyan is is," Mubai said.
"I know," Mofan said.
Zhao Manyan had been carrying the national team badge with him. The badge was made of a special material. Most of the isolation spells could only shorten the distance between the two badges, but they could not completely block the signal between the badges.
Zhao Manyan was most likely not too far away from Apas. Mofan believed the national team badge would light up as soon as he arrived there. Mofan would only be able to save the idiot first.
…
…
In the fortress at the center of the command center, the basement was used to imprison Mages who had seriously violated the military's rules. Many people were unaware that there was another layer of prison under the basement, where some dirty deeds were being carried out secretly.
The students of the European University Institute had a special identity. Lieutenant Saks could not afford to let the others know about them. He had locked them up in the cells. Each cell was protected by a powerful magic formation, preventing the prisoners from using any magic.
"Are my students alright?" Vani asked anxiously.
"Don't worry, they are fine. We aren't a bunch of bandits. Why would we do anything to them?" Lieutenant Saks smiled.
"Humph, don't let me see that kid called Mofan again. Otherwise, I'm going to skin him alive!" Gangma snarled.
Gangma had suffered a lot at Mo Fan's hands. He was still in great pain, but luckily, Mentor Vani was smart enough to send him back to the academy in one piece.
After taking a few steps forward, Vani immediately saw a few of his students sitting listlessly in the cell. They looked very haggard, but apart from some frostbites, they didn't seem to have been treated badly.
Vani let out a relieved sigh when he saw them safe and sound.
It was great that they were fine. If any of them were dead, he would be fired by the European University Institute. On top of that, his students had formidable backgrounds too. Their clans and factions were surely going to trouble him. Even if he tried to shift the blame to the Egyptian army, they would not dare to pick a fight with the Egyptian army. In the end, he would still have to take the blame!
"That's great, you are all fine," Vani went up to the cells and said.
"Mr. Vani, you really came to save us. See, what did I say? If we were to rely on someone like Mofan, our hair would turn white! "Galba said.
"He's too full of himself. If he didn't infuriate the Medusa, we wouldn't have suffered so much," Ferrero said.
Zhao Manyan lifted his gaze and looked at Gangma and Lieutenant Saks behind Vani.
Zhao Manyan was frozen, but he clearly saw Mofan capturing Gangma to save their lives. However, Gangma had returned …
It did not take a genius to figure out that Vani had secretly sent them back!
This was going to be troublesome. Mofan no longer had any leverage. If the Egyptian army was vicious enough, they could kill them all at any time!
Zhao Manyan was not overjoyed at all. He saw Gangma and Lieutenant Saks whispering to each other.
…
"What now? Should we let them go?" Lieutenant Saks asked softly.
"Are you stupid? Of course not. Send Vani to the cells first. We'll decide what to do with him later. There are three more outside. Judging from their strength, they are no ordinary people. It's better to take them all down before we decide what to do with them! "Gangma said coldly.
If they were planning to silence them, they would have to capture them all. If they killed Vani, the other three would immediately run away and sue them to the International Tribunal of Justice. Even though the Egyptian army was not afraid of the International Tribunal of Justice, it would still bring them some trouble.
The only way was to take them all down. It was up to them whether they wanted to silence them or let them go!
