Chapter 216Simon's eyes were filled with surprise.
"You found him?"
[Yeah. Akemus has no great grudge against Richard, and he's loyal to the Legion, so I figured I could go alone. And as a matter of fact, I did succeed in finding him.]
Simon got nervous just hearing the story.
"A-And then?! What happened after finding him?"
[Akemus was snatched from right under my nose.]
Elizabeth and Prince jumped to their feet.
[Who was the bastard?!]
Prince thumped his chest in anger. Simon sensed strong hostility from Pier's thoughts, too.
[Magnus Alban, Commander of the Fifth Legion. He, too, was in the Jungle of Screams.]
"!"
Simon's eyes widened.
'A Commander other than me.'
Like the Seven Saintesses, there were the Seven Commanders.
Naturally, there are also the Seven Marshalls, Pier being one of them. They were the Ancient Undeads who could organize Legions.
However, the 'Seventh Legion of Betrayal' was said to have disappeared, and Pier the Marshall was also said to be lost forever.
This, of course, wasn't true. Nefthis dared to steal Pier and seal him in an underground ruin on Roke Island so that when Richard's son, Simon, enrolled into Kizen, he could be given the ruin's location and become a Commander.
Thus, there were now seven Commanders again, including Simon.
'And among those Commanders, one of them'
took a member of Richard's Legion, Akemus.
[It's war!]
Shouted Prince, enraged.
[Magnus broke the unspoken rule between Commanders! You never lay your hands on another Legion's Ancient Undead!]
Hearing that, Pier justified,
[He thinks that the Seventh Legion has completely disappeared. He must be trying to claim the ownerless Ancient Undead for himself.]
[Simon, this is what Death Land has prepared for! Just give me the word, and all the zombies under my control will!]
Pier shook his head.
[No amount of firepower we can muster now can defeat Magnus. He's a full-fledged necromancer with five Ancient Undeads beneath him. Six including Akemus.]
Prince pouted, seemingly unsatisfied, but Simon stepped in and cemented how the Legion would respond.
"Pier is right, we shouldn't get too sentimental here. Other than that"
The Ancient Undeads had to resist flinching as their two-way mental connections to Simon flooded them with a cold seriousness.
"Did Magnus find you?"
Pier gave a satisfied smile at his Commander's deductions and priorities.
[You've hit the nail on the head! It's 50/50. Magnus almost certainly detected my presence as an Ancient Undead, but probably not that I am Pier, a Marshall. After all, I blew away the pursers he sent after me before they could see enough to be sure.]
"Phew Above all else, I'm just glad you're safe."
The
Exclaimed Simon inwardly.
He felt nostalgic seeing the woman's short, understated haircut, apathetic face, and charismatic eyes.
It was Jane Olivia, Class A's professor and Kizen's Vice-President.
Behind her, the assistant teachers stood at attention, some of them winking at and waving to their favorite students.
In the silence, she started,
"Did you spend your vacation well, Class A?"
