Chapter 433: You Already Infiltrated Their Inner Circle?
I roughly understand the situation here.
Lynn glanced around, then put the pocket watch away in his pocket, saying:
"I've got a general idea of the situation, but I advise you to leave quickly. It probably won't be long before the Mechanical Cult sends a large force to attack you. When that happens, you definitely won't be as lucky as you are now!"
The commander's expression turned serious as he said:
"Thank you for the warning, Senior. In fact, we've already received orders to retreat. The Mechanical Cult seems intent on further compressing our sphere of influence. Not long ago, all our forward positions throughout the Cursed City came under heavy assault from the Mechanical Cult!"
In the distance, the city districts still echoed with the continuous sound of massive explosions.
Clearly.
This war had only just begun.
Lynn nodded, then hoisted the scythe onto his shoulder, turning to leave as he said:
"Alright, in that case, I won't waste any more of your time. I need to hurry and regroup with my people. Maybe we'll have a chance to meet again in the future."With that, Lynn turned to leave.
Seeing this, the commander and a nearby Flesh and Blood Humanoid exchanged a glance, then immediately stepped forward to block Lynn's path.
Are you kidding!
They had finally encountered such an incredibly powerful ally here.
If they just stood by and let this Senior leave, they'd be real fools!
"Doctor, please wait!"
The commander quickly extended a tentacle, putting on a very sincere and earnest expression, serious and solemn.
Lynn raised an eyebrow, the corner of his mouth quirking up, and asked nonchalantly, "Oh? Is there something else?"
The commander said earnestly, "Sir, are you heading to the Dominator faction to find your organization?"
Lynn nodded, "Yes."
The commander said seriously, "If that's the case, I suggest you travel with us. Because we've received information that after the Flesh Leviathan appeared, most of the Bishops and Plague Doctor cadres from the Dominator Sect have transferred onto the Leviathan."
"Right now, the half of the city district occupied by the Dominator Sect has virtually no regular troops left. Even if you go there now, I'm afraid you won't be able to regroup with your people."
Lynn's eyebrow immediately shot up, "Oh? Really?"
Seeing Lynn's tone seemed somewhat receptive, the commander immediately nodded and took a step forward:
"Yes, the Leviathan is currently maintaining complete radio silence. We only roughly know it should be somewhere in Core Zone 1. In fact, the command authority over the Dominator Sect's remaining forces was also transferred to our Mother Goddess not long ago..."
"So if you truly wish to contact the Plague Doctors' headquarters here, I suggest you come back with us first. Actually, we also have a group of Plague Doctors serving our great Mother Goddess Majesty at our place. And if we could have a Doctor of your caliber stationed there, I believe Mother Goddess Majesty would be extremely pleased."
Without a doubt, his intention to poach was almost written all over his face.
Although the Flesh and Blood Cult appears to be a single organization.
Within it, numerous sects and factions exist, none willing to submit to the others.
If not for their shared enemy, the Mechanical Cult, they would have probably started fighting amongst themselves long ago.
And as for allies like the Plague Doctors, they would definitely try to win them over no matter what.
And Lynn had been waiting precisely for him to say this.
Lynn "hesitated" for a moment, then hummed thoughtfully, putting on an expression of deep consideration.
After the commander held his breath and waited anxiously for a short while, Lynn said hoarsely:
"In that case, I suppose I could go to your place first. But let's be clear, as soon as I contact headquarters or find my scattered teammates, I will leave. I won't stay for long."
Hearing this, the commander was overjoyed, "Great! Don't worry, Dr. X, leave the matter of your subordinates to us! We'll definitely keep an eye out for them!"
[Ding! The Flesh Tentacle Demon's Affinity towards you +10]
[Ding! The Flesh and Blood Humanoid's Affinity towards you +10]
He was feeling so smug inside!
They had already witnessed this Doctor's strength earlier, along with that mysterious ability that could induce intense pleasure. Without a doubt, traveling with such a powerhouse would provide them with immense security.
And more importantly, this big shot had mentioned before that he actually harbored admiration for their Desire Sect and the Mother Goddess.
That meant.
This big shot was definitely someone who could be won over!
And if they could pull such a powerhouse into their Desire Sect's camp, it would be nothing but beneficial for them.
So this was absolutely an opportunity.
"Sir, we mustn't delay. Let's retreat quickly. If we really get targeted by the Mechanical Cult, it'll be hard for us to leave!"
He didn't waste any time. Dozens of Flesh and Blood Humanoids surrounded Lynn like stars around the moon, quickly escorting him into the Aberration Fortress.
Zuo Zuo said warily in their mental link, "You're infiltrating their ranks just like that, Brain?"
The corner of Lynn's mouth quirked up as he replied mentally, "Of course. With my reputation boosted to this level, isn't it just a natural progression?"
"What are you going to do next?"
"Lay low first, observe the Flesh and Blood Cult's next moves, then find an opportunity to probe the Plague Doctors' situation. If I get another chance to encounter that Saint, I'll figure out a way to finish him off!"
"..."
Following them all the way into the Aberration Fortress.
Just as Lynn was wondering how they planned to retreat, he once again witnessed the Flesh and Blood Cult's uncanny ability to create bizarre constructs.
The flesh walls on the exterior of the Aberration Fortress rapidly healed. The massive root systems were gradually retracted. Then, accompanied by rumbling booms, the enormous Aberration Fortress slowly began to sink into the ground.
This massive fortress was actually capable of moving underground.
"Continue descending!"
"Three hundred meters!"
"Five hundred meters!"
"One thousand meters!"
Finally, the Aberration Fortress stopped moving after submerging two thousand meters underground, then began to shift slowly.
