Chapter 1540: Please Respond If You Hear Me!

“Huh?”

Everyone was looking at Camilla, who reacted strangely, with befuddlement.

“This is my personal bat. I can talk to you all through it. It represents me, so you all have to respect it!” Camilla said unnaturally.

“Oh.” All of them were wondering.

Biotechnology. Mag was equally surprised too before he said in his mind, “System, I’m refunding one walkie-talkie.”

“Host, the walkie-talkie is a custom-made item, so no refunds once sold!” the system replied solemnly.

“Ha. I am an esteemed PLUS member, so I enjoy a 7-day unconditional return policy. If you don’t refund me, then I am not going to continue with my annual plan!” Mag smirked coldly.

The system was silent for a long time before a merchandise credit slip slowly moved across Mag’s mind. One custom-made walkie-talkie—1,499 copper coins.

Mag looked at that bat who looked a little obtuse, and used a finger to poke its armpit as he doubtfully asked, “Is this personal bat stable?”

Camilla shot up from her seat immediately and clenched her right arm instinctively as she walked to the window. She said with an unnatural expression, “I’m setting off now.”

Camilla stopped next to Mag, and gravely warned him, “And, I am warning you again. Don’t touch it casually, or else I’m taking it back!”

Mag put his palms upward. He simply thought that this bat was rather dumb and cute. He again reminded her, “Remember to conceal yourself and be careful.”

“The dark night is my veil. We, vampires, are the real rulers of the dark night.”

Camilla snorted with an unknown emotion. She pushed the window half-open, transformed into a black bat, and disappeared into the dark.

“Why is she so fierce?” Mag cocked an eyebrow before poking at that little bat’s armpits twice.

“Hahaha…”

Nobody noticed that a bat suddenly let out a weird laughter in midair. It lost its stable flying stance immediately, and crashed into a shrubbery directly.

After a while, the bat flew out from the shrubbery again and let out an angry roar. “Mag, you bastard!!!”

Mag didn’t bother to irritate that obtuse bat after seeing that it didn’t react. He said to the rest, “We will have to sneak into the palace after those 10th-tier powerhouses are lured out of it. Connie, you’re good at stealth and know the palace well, so you will be responsible for searching for the places that Ferdinand could be imprisoned in. I, Amy, Elizabeth, and Gina will be responsible for responding to you and assisting in the search.”

“Yes.” Connie nodded. After looking at the bat on Mag’s shoulder, she asked, “How am I going to contact you if I find him?”

“This is a micro walkie-talkie. Everyone, put it in your ear, and we can have an unobstructed conversation within a 10 kilometers’ range.” Mag took out a box, and gave them an in-ear micro headphone each from the box.

“Like this. Wear it in your ear. Press on the on/off button gently, and we can get into our shared communication channel.” Mag demonstrated to them how to wear the micro walkie-talkie, and then pressed it on.

Everyone followed Mag’s example, and put on the walkie-talkie. The contact surface was smooth and comfortable, so there wasn’t any discomfort after they put it on, and it didn’t affect their hearing at all.

“0101, I am 01. All combat units, please respond if you hear me,” Mag said with a deliberately lowered voice.

“Oh?”

An amazed look appeared on all of their faces at the same time immediately.

“Father, how did your voice get into my ear?” Amy looked at Mag with surprise.

Gina and Elizabeth shivered at the same time as they blushed.

Will… my ears get pregnant like this? Gina thought worriedly. She had never listened to a man talking to her at such a close distance before. It was almost like he was speaking with his mouth pressing against her ear. Her heart even seemed to tremble when his voice appeared.

Elizabeth also had an uncomfortable expression. Such an intimate whispering sensation made her a little uncomfortable, even though it was simply verifying her equipment with everyone else.

Meanwhile, Connie already began to make conversation. “0101, I am 02. Please reply if you hear me.”

Her voice also appeared in everyone’s ears clearly.

“Haha. This is fun.” Amy’s eyes lit up, and her voice also appeared in everyone’s ears too.

Everyone soon got rid of their embarrassment, and began to have fun talking to one another.

The microphone had a great reception. Furthermore, it muted the miscellaneous ambiance noises apart from the person’s voice, making the conversation sound less disrupted.

“Alright, let’s give one another code names. There will be strictly no chatting during the operation. Observe discipline…” Mag began to establish order and arrange the division of labor.

“10th-tier orc?” In the resplendent great hall, Gary was listening to his subordinates’ report with furrowed brows. He had a surprised and puzzled expression.

Darryl, wearing soft black armor, got up, and said, “Chief, since Basil already had him trapped in the dungeon, should Kurt and I go there together as well to apprehend him?”

The orc with a scar on his fleshy face also got up, and angrily said, “How dares he make trouble on the night before the chief’s conferring ceremony? He is disrespecting the Falk Tribe. We will catch him and execute him together with that kid Ferdinand so they will know that our Falk Tribe is not meant to be trifled with!”

Gary frowned, still deep in thought.

Right then, a huge bang came from the south.

“What’s that?” The three of them in the hall were shocked. This disturbance was as loud as the previous one.

A guard rushed in very soon. He knelt on one knee, and nervously reported, “Chief, all the guards and the reinforcements sent to the prison in the city’s south were annihilated by a mysterious person. No one survived!”

“What?!” Gary raised his voice.

“Perhaps there are more than one 10th-tier powerhouse!” Shock could be seen on Darryl’s and Kurt’s face at the same time.

The prison in the south of the city was the Falk Tribe’s largest prison. It held a lot of prisoners, and the majority of them were the former chief’s followers and family members. Many of them would be executed at tomorrow’s conferring ceremony.

That was also the largest trap that they set. They let out news that Ferdinand was being imprisoned there, and then arranged for a troop of powerful reinforcements to mop up most of the troublemakers. The ones who led the operation were even two 9th-tier magic casters.

And such an elite force was annihilated right under their noses!

“Darryl, Kurt, bring our people to the prison in the city’s south, and kill all those attacking and escaping fellows!” Gary ordered with a sinister expression.

“Yes!” The two of them acknowledged together, and then strode out.

“Where did all these fellows come from? Perhaps Auster wants to change his mind?” Gary paced two rounds in the hall before he went to press a block of wood that was protruding out from the side of his throne. The throne began to turn toward inward, and revealed a narrow passageway.

Gary strode in.
