My Cell Prison

Chapter 375: Chapter 375: Deployment

Actually.

Abe, who was on the scene, also had ‘connections’ to find a formal knight leader.

However, there was a problem.

They were engaged in the School Adventurer Guild, putting out tasks assigned to Apprentice Knights.

Having them led by a knight leader would be prohibited (similar to power-leveling).

Moreover, once a “Demon” issue was involved, most knights would choose to report the intelligence to the Knight Regiment they belonged to, rather than dealing with it on their own.

Abe was the beloved grandson of Captain Kaimon. Not a single knight in the Behemoth Knight Group dared to take this risk…In case anything happened to Abe, their uncountable lives might not be enough to answer for it.

Therefore, it was crucial at this point for Han Dong to find a knight who was ‘trustworthy’.

…….

“Senior Cass…right?”

Just as Han Dong led his two friends into the private room.

Abe, who had just participated in special training, immediately recognized this senior from the same training team…He was still impressed by Cass’s extraordinary performance in the team.

Although in terms of talent, Cass might not be able to compare with these prodigies in the lower grades.

But Cass’s own strength wasn’t lacking at all.

“Abe Rhein?”

Cass naturally recognised this ‘transfer student’.

In his memory, Abe joined the special training halfway in a state of ‘tiredness’…

At that time, they were in the middle of the special training, with no ‘beginner’s guide’ besides the increased intensity of the training.

However, Abe was able to quickly adapt to a variety of high-intensity training and persisted until the end of the specialized training to get the qualification certificate, which was truly not easy.

“I remember Senior Cass got an ‘excellent’ evaluation, right? I didn’t expect you to know Nicholas.”

“Well…my body seems to be more suitable for life outside the city. You also did very well…If I were in your shoes, joining in halfway while tired, I wouldn’t have been able to keep up.

Captain Kaimon really demands a lot from you.

By the way, Nicholas and I have been acquainted for a long time, haha!”

With that, Cass habitually put his arm around one of Han Dong’s shoulders, making the two look very close.

It was like this.

Through Han Dong as the ‘central connection’, everyone quickly became familiar.

Meanwhile.

After sending a glance akin to a love-rival at Knight Vino, Mia at the same table turned her gaze to Cass.

In her eyes, this rugged handsome blond guy was the ‘main course’…Everyone else had to step aside.

…….

As Han Dong introduced the people present one by one.

Abe took the ‘Stone Coin Storage Box’ once again.

Han Dong started to explain in detail about the Secret Stone incident and the current inferences, finally turning his gaze to Knight Vino, who had the ability to confront the “Demon” directly.

“Sister Vino…the situation is basically like this.

If you can deal with the “Demon” privately, you should be able to receive commendation from the Knight Regiment, which will help you secure the position of ‘Deputy Platoon Leader’.”

“It’s too dangerous … but it’s worth a try.”

That’s right.

There is also a hierarchy within the Knight Regiment. Vino Silist, who was born in the Royal Family, has had this kind of pride since she was a child… The current her, who is eligible for the position of ‘Deputy Platoon Leader’, just needs an opportunity.

If she can nip this enigmatic invasion event at the bud, and solve the issue of the Demon lurking in the shadows alone…she will be rightfully promoted to ‘Deputy Platoon Leader’.

“However, you kids might be in danger…I need to see proof of your strength.

If this incident is as Nicholas conjectured, there might be more than one hidden Demon, and there might be even more dangerous existences. If something happens to you guys, I can’t afford it.”

Han Dong suddenly came up with a good idea.

“Time is of the essence, Sister Vino, you are an Omnipotent Knight… How about we prove our strength in the simplest way?”

“What?”

“Arm wrestling.”

With one hand in chains and the other holding a Light Shield, ready to charge at any time… Vino is not lacking in strength.

Moreover, there will be a genuine metamorphosis in the human body before and after Breaking the Breed; basic attributes like strength will experience a significant increase.

“Alright… Who goes first?”

She took off her arm armor, releasing her aura.

A slender white arm, slightly muscular, was placed on the table… The Holy Light was visibly covering the surface of the arm, prepared to ‘instantly kill’ the Apprentice Knights present.

“Winry, you go first.”

“Ah…”

Winry, who was still chewing on meat and feeling not quite full, was caught a bit off guard by Han Dong’s call.

However, as Han Dong appointed Winry for arm wrestling, those who knew what was going on revealed knowing smiles…

A bit shy, Winry slowly moved in front of Vino… The bare arm she extended was nearly twice as thick as Vino’s.

At the same time, a ‘Strength Halo’ spread out on its own.

Snap…

As their palms touched, Vino felt as if she had to move a mountain.

“Wait… Who is this girl?”

Vino sensed that something was wrong, especially when she noticed Han Dong’s concealed smirk, she felt she was being framed.

“Winry Austin, she is the adopted daughter of the Great Blacksmith – Heidrig…”

“Master Blacksmith!?”

Vino essentially understood then, that Han Dong’s group of friends were all extraordinarily gifted… But she couldn’t afford to lose at arm wrestling.

…

Twenty minutes passed. frёewebηovel.cѳm

Inside the private room, thick marble pieces from the shattered dining table littered the floor… For those who didn’t know, they could have surmised some major event had taken place here.

“Cough cough… Not bad at all!

To think that you youngsters can hold me off for this long is barely satisfactory.

I need to use the restroom, let’s gather downstairs in a bit. We’ll discuss the details of the group splits and the investigation on the way.”

The result was that Vino won.

However…

In the restroom, Vino clutched her completely exhausted right arm, even her wrist was somewhat moderately sprained… She couldn’t believe that an Apprentice Knight could have such strength.

“If I hadn’t secretly bestowed the ‘Blessings of Strength’ and ‘Blessing of Perseverance’, I fear I would have lost… Who is this monstrous apprentice that the Great Blacksmith found, who could reach such a level of brute force?

Speaking of which… As I recall, there was a rumor in the Knight Regiment.

About several decades ago, a power-based Vice-Leader was executed by the council after being labeled a ‘traitor’.

The rumor suggested this Vice-Leader’s strength stood at the pinnacle of the Holy City, unmatched in raw power… is there any connection between the two?”

Vino decided not to overthink it.

She quickly ingested some restorative potions to adjust her state, and put up an appearance of nonchalance as she rejoined the team.

They rented a medium-sized carriage and set off towards the [Civilian Area].

Han Dong briefly outlined the initial plan:

“Knowing of the invasion by the Evil, the Knight Regiment has already embarked on a search.

Unable to locate these Evils at all, I suggest we start by splitting up… each heading to different areas for investigation. If there are any developments, we can exchange information through timepiece devices.

If we confirm the gathering location of the Evils, or find their hiding tactics, then we can act together.”
