BXBX NOVEL Chapter 480 Arrival
...
Real World, Eastern Sea Region, Eastern Blue District
A huge ship just arrived at the Blue Stone Port.
There was a pair of young men among the passengers who were disembarking from the ship. And given the curious looks that they were giving at the port, it seemed like this was their first time coming to this place.
"This is quite a lively place. Compared to the ports that we have on our continent, this place is quite a busy street," said one of the young men.
Based on his facial features, he seemed to be a 19 to 20-year-old young man. But despite his young age, his body was quite muscular. It is neither bulky nor too large for his size, but it was about right given that he was quite tall for a height of 179 cm.
He was wearing a black sleeveless shirt, showcasing his properly trained arms. And alongside his cargo pants and combat boots, he was practically announcing to others that he was a Martial-Artist. Especially with the way he was carrying his huge luggage with one hand over his shoulder.
The complexion of his skin was neither light nor tan. It was right in the middle of those two colors; it was giving an impression that he got that color by basking under the sunlight.
At the same time, the yellow transparent sunglasses that he was wearing made his looks quite appealing to the girls who were passing by and walking alongside them.
"Hey, Vincent. Do you think we can still find a good hotel right now?" he asked at the young man who was walking beside him while looking at the stalls along the road.
"I highly doubt that. Given that we came a little late, I am pretty sure that all of the hotels and resorts are fully booked now. I guess it is better for us to find an apartment or a house to rent instead," responded by the other young man.
Standing with similar height as the previous guy, it was hard for the others not to compare their physical physiques.
This young man with the name Vincent had a lean but his body compared to the previous guy. But his physique seemed to be not going to lose in terms of strength.
Because of the fitted shirt that he was wearing, he unconsciously showcased his properly trained muscles. And alongside his pale skin and handsome face, his sex appeal would not be going to lose to the young man beside him; most of the girls who saw him were even looking at him with sparkling eyes.
While the two of them were currently in the middle of a discussion when they suddenly saw a middle-aged man in a butler\'s clothes approaching them. And when this man arrived, he suddenly took a deep bow in front of them which attracted the attention of the people around them.
The butler ignored the looks of the passerby and said. "Welcome, young masters. I am going to be your guide while you are staying in this country."
Hearing that, both of the young men frowned their eyebrows and looked at the middle-aged man with displeasure.
"Are you sent here by our Family?" asked Vincent while maintaining his frown.
"Yes, young master," replied the butler; he was still not raising his head since he took his bow.
In the meantime, the other young man couldn\'t help but sneer after hearing those words. "Be our \'Guide\' my *ss. Just be honest that you are sent here to monitor us."
"That is not true, Young Master Jeremiah," replied the butler almost instantly.
The young man with the name Jeremiah suddenly smirked when he heard that and said with a cold tone. "Listen here, old man."
"My name now is \'Jeremiah Smithson\' and I am no longer a part of your oh-so noble Valentine Family after being treated as an outcast. So, stop calling me young master – it disgusts me."
"And don\'t act as if you are sincerely acknowledging my existence. Both of us know what your noble family is really thinking about me even after everything that I\'ve achieved."
After that, he started walking away, not caring about the stares being thrown at him.
Meanwhile, Vincent shook his head a little and smiled bitterly before patting the middle-aged man\'s shoulder. "Sorry about that, uncle. But you should understand what he is feeling after experiencing those sufferings."
Then he immediately chased after Jeremiah, leaving the butler behind.

Atlas World, Blind Abyss Empire
Shin was still staying inside the Ancient Ruins and was currently doing his final preparations for the Central Order.
"I already take out Immortal from the picture, so you guys can at least take care of the rest, right?" asked Shin while checking out his gears.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the call, Legolas nodded his head repeatedly before saying. "Don\'t worry, we can at least manage this much."
Shin also nodded his head and sheathed his sword before looking at the virtual screen in front of him. "Just make sure to end the battle before my duel with Immortal ends."
Legolas slightly knitted his eyebrows when he heard that before saying. "It is much easier to say than done."
Shin turned silent for a moment before replying. "Then let me give another piece of advice."
He paused for a moment and raised his index finger before continuing. "Siege wars not only defend on guarding and attacking a certain place to contest for it."
"Do you know why the military generals are always saying that the defending party in sieging wars has more advantage compared to the attacking forces?"
"It is not because of the fact that defending is much easier than attacking a certain place. But it is actually because the Defending Party can do both attacking and defending at the same time."
Hearing those words, Legolas suddenly came into a realization as he immediately understood what Shin was currently implying. "I see. I will put it in my mind."
Shin was about to end the call when he suddenly remembered something. "Ah! And one more thing. This is actually the best time for you to make your move since the opposing side was still in the middle of preparing their own Sieging Weapons."
"Attacking them at the time that they least expected to deal more damage to their forces. And make sure to focus on destroying as much machinery as you can, so that you can have a much easier time to defend later."
"And one last thing, make sure that you are going to entrust this mission to your most trusted people to avoid some information leaks," he added before ending the call, not giving Legolas any time to respond.
After that, Shin turned his head at Solus who was now standing beside him before asking. "You can give him the authority to control the defensive formation, right?" while pointing at Chaotic Luck.
Hearing that, Solus immediately nodded her head and replied with a seemingly sneering tone. "Of course, I am the creator and owner of this place after all."
Shin nodded his head after hearing the confirmation before looking at Chaotic Luck. "You don\'t have to do much – just keeping the formation working is more than enough. And if ever something unexpected happened, just follow the instructions that I\'ve given you earlier."
If it was before he personally witnessed Shin\'s meticulous planning, then he would most probably not believe whatever Shin was saying to him. But now that he saw everything was going according to his plan, Chaotic Luck had no choice but to acknowledge Shin\'s abilities.
After all, it was a strategic war against Immortal. And not only Shin could keep everything under control, but he was also giving the impression that he was toying with his opponents when it came to strategic battles.
To Necromancers such as himself, Immortal was practically their God. And being a fan, Chaotic Luck naturally has some idea about the previous achievements that Immortal did – his strategic thinking, his control over his summoned undead, and his top-notch skills, Immortal was literally a one-man army.
But after seeing everything that happened just earlier, Chaotic Luck was now starting to have a blind admiration towards Shin. In his eyes, Shin seemed to be able to do anything now.
Meanwhile, Shin would naturally have no idea what Chaotic Luck was currently thinking. So, he just waved his hand and pressed the accept button at the system notification that just appeared right in front of him.
After that, he transformed into a streak of light that flew towards the sky.

In the meantime, Legolas just finished gathering all of his trusted people who were going to form the special force as per Shin\'s advice.

And after a few more moments of waiting, Legolas finally received the report that he was waiting for.
"Sir! The Duel is about to start after a minute. Immortal is most probably in the battle arena right now," said by his right-hand man while giving him a salute.
Hearing that, Legolas nodded his head before asking. "What about our targets."
"We already confirmed their locations and take note of the players who are guarding them," replied the right-hand man almost instantly.
Legolas started grinning widely when he heard that before saying. "Alright, boys! It is time to do some work," as he stood up from his seat.
Seeing that, everyone inside the tent was suddenly surprised as they understood the meaning of Legolas standing up.
"You are coming with us, Sir?" asked his right-hand man full of disbelief.
Hearing that, he looked at the man with knitted brows before asking. "Is there a problem with that?" while also sweeping his gaze at everyone.
"No, Sir!" responded the group simultaneously while standing straight.
Legolas swept his gaze at the group for another time before nodding his head. He then turned his head at his right-hand man and said. "Pale, go open the portal linked with the coordinates I\'ve sent you. We are going to hit them hard while they are still unprepared."
