Chapter 406 Delayed Further

406 Delayed Further
Control room, SKCT.
The people were panicking inside all the while sinking into the oblivions of madness.
Even the Rank 9 incharge wasn't an exception to this and the only thing that separated him from the others was the fact that he was still slightly sane and the speed at which he was turning mad was slower than the others.
While this bunch screamed, yelled, cursed, laughed, and showed a varied psychotic behaviour, a bit away from them, up on the branches of trees, a group of people were watching with a calm gaze.
"Your Highness, should we attack?" Dennis, donning a suit of the Dracula military and having a black hat on his head while holding a katana in his hands, said.
"Don't ask me. I am not the one in charge." Lith didn't look at Dennis and said calmly while gazing towards the people in the control room.
Dennis didn't mind it and turning to Ralph, he asked, "Ralph, should we attack?"
"No." Ralph's answer was straight to the point.
"Why?"
"The time isn't right. I'll tell you more later, now don't question, just stay still and wait." Ralph didn't give Dennis a chance to argue or bicker with him.
Dennis may have forgotten that they were at war and though things seemed easy to do, they really weren't in reality. Dennis was failing to realise that this was a serious situation, but Ralph didn't and he made Dennis quiet before that lagger ended up creating a scene.
"Okay…" Dennis said so in a low voice and got back to gazing at the people in the control room.
Lith, watching the people inside, thought to himself:
'Ralph's intelligence is no doubt the best in the world for his age and generation. The psychic spells are working wonders, but… once the control tower is attacked and the people realise it, I am gonna have to see how he'll react to it and do things.'
'As for Dennis, I am yet to see his prowess. Let's see how he'll do.'
'But those things aside…'
'Why did the two clans leave the control room so defenseless? Or perhaps, did they think that having a Rank 9 was enough protection?'
'Is it that or am I overestimating this battle? Isn't it a battle between two Saint Rank Clans and a Half King Rank sect? Shouldn't there be Half Saints present around important locations?'
Lith was calculating the things in his mind. The situation seemed too easy and there was hardly any defending done from the two clans' side.
Did they perhaps give up on the SKCT or did they perhaps lay some traps here that they were waiting for the sect people to fall into. Lith had no idea and he was trying his best to figure this out.
Little did Lith know…
Senzal Clan, Redstone City.
Inside a tall golden palace.
"Tch. Where is this elven army? Just where!?" Senzal was looking at a big tablet in his hand and cursed. The tablet showed the situation in the SKCT.
"Clan Head, from what news I got, the elven army has just gotten the permit to enter the teleportation circles and enter Uklov. Once they are in Uklov, they just need to go through one more teleportation circle and they'll be here."
"They got the permit?"
"Yes. Apparently…"
A few hours ago.
In the Cyranos Prefecture.
BAM!
"WHAT!?" Ighat slammed the table in front of him and exclaimed.
He just got a letter and it said that an investigation would be done on him and the subdivision to see what went wrong with the permit of the Scalanis family's army and why is it taking so long. He also read in it that the ones at fault would be punished severely if found to be at fault.
Ighat didn't even question the authenticity of the letter as it had the stamp and sign of the Prefect of the Cyranos Prefecture itself.
"How did they do it!?" Ighat couldn't help but ask. "No, I should stop wondering about it and quickly send in the permit."
A few moments later…
Outside the Embassy of the Neutral Continent, Zelph's army and he was standing there with a happy and proud expression.
"Told you, RTI is really effective." Zelph said to Xander.
"Yeah… seems like it. Too bad, we can't see what that shit Consul is going through right now."
"Don't worry, he'll be fired. This investigation is not something that can keep the spies planted into the embassies for long. Ighat and the Gilzeiros are soon going to get a slap on their faces. But yes, it's a pity that we can't see their expressions. Now let's go, we have to leave for the Valiyer Prefecture."
"Yes, commander." Xander said and soon instructed the army to get into their positions and leave.
A few more hours later, the army reached in front of the Valiyer International Teleportation Circle.
This place was a modern big glass building. It was just two storey tall but was spread in a vast area in length and wasn't too broad.
There were, in total, two buildings in the Valiyer International Teleportation Circle and these two buildings were called Terminal 1 and Terminal 2.
Terminal 1 led to teleportation circles that could take one to the Neutral Continent and in the various cities in it whereas Terminal 2 was there for Domestic use, meaning teleportation in the places within the Elven Continent.
As it could take one to the Neutral Continent and into various places within the continent, the Valiyer International Teleportation Circle was a really busy place and people could be seen going in and out of it.
This time, it wasn't just people, but there was cargo present as well.
Carts loaded with goods, people carrying items on their heads, back, and in their arms, etc, were all seen going to and fro from the building.
The Scalanis family's army was in front of the Terminal 1 building and they were ready to walk inside it to teleport to the Neutral Continent finally.
The army cleared their first security checkpoint by showing their permit to them and went in to do the check-in and other formalities.
As they reached their teleportation company's counter, the lady sitting behind the desk was slightly surprised to see so many people at once and not to mention, they were equipped with weapons as well.
"Yes Sir, how may I help you?" She still maintained her calm and asked politely.
Zelph didn't speak much and just showed her the documents. As he did, the lady nodded her head in understanding and asked them to put their weapons on the conveyor belt next to her.
Zelph didn't question much and asked his army to put the weapons on the belt and did so himself as well.
There were beings reincarnated from Earth over here and they made the places for immigration same as the ones like airports from their world. It was for this reason that there were embassies, teleportation buildings and so on present here.
As the lady checked the items, another lady wearing a red uniform walked towards Zelph and the army.
"Halt the check-in." She said in a calm voice.
"Hmm?" The lady behind the desk looked towards the lady in a red uniform.
"Officer Qianyu from the Customs department. We find the activities and goods of these individuals suspicious and I've been sent to check. Here's the warrant." The lady in red showed a few documents to both the lady behind the counter and Zelph.
Zelph knitted his brows and clicked his tongue. This time, even he was annoyed. 'Why are Customs involved? Is the Scalanis family not powerful enough to just have us sent to Redstone City?'
Officer Qianyu didn't bother to talk with the people present and Xander controlled his frustration and didn't just lash out at Qianyu.
The reason being, firstly, she was an authoritative figure, and secondly, there was a dangerous aura being radiated from her that made him be slightly fearful of her.
'The Customs department sure is scary…' Xander thought to himself as he looked at the curvaceous figure of Qianyu scanning their items.
Qianyu soon walked towards the conveyor belt after scanning it and took out a metallic green box. She then scanned through it and frowned.
Qianyu held the box in her hands and shifted her focus towards the lady. "Cancel their boarding. They are coming to the customs and aren't allowed immigration."
"WHAT!? ARE YOU FUC–"
SLAM!
"Watch your tone. I am not your mother to speak to me like that." Qianyu slapped Xander's face and said in a calm tone.
Xander was slammed down on the ground and this even made Zelph be on guard.
This lady sure was scary, were his thoughts as he looked at the bleeding face of Xander.
Even the people in the army behind were quiet and didn't say anything. They were fearful as well now.
"Y-Yes, Ma'am." The lady behind the counter said and did the formalities.
Qianyu then took the army to the Customs and this ended up delaying the army to reach the Redstone City even further, thereby making the SKCT defenseless.
SKCT was the place they were supposed to be in and help the Senzal Clan in the war.
Senzal Clan had no spare people whom they could send to the defense of the SKCT. It was totally dependent on the elven army. But they weren't here yet and the main conflict had started already. This caused the place to get a devastating blow.
Lith, who was thinking about the crisis and felt something wrong and was on guard, didn't know of this information and thus felt something wrong and missing.
Ralph was the same and thus their squad waited and didn't do any assassinations and the people in the control room were still alive.
Lith decided to wait for a while longer and see what the thing was and if by any chance, there was still no one coming to the rescue of the people in the control room, he would take action.
