Reborn: Apocalypse Ready. War Goddess by My Side novel Chapter 432

Chapter 432 Blood–Forged Journey

Steven walked over to Alan

Alan glanced at him.

Finished

Steven said, “Captain, I suggest we don’t rush back to Orroux yet. We should spend some time looking for more spirit fruits. This stuff gives a huge boost!”

After thinking for a moment, Alan replied, “There’s a chance spirit fruits have already been collected and stored by various groups inside Orroux.”

Steven shook his head. “If we buy them from other people, it’ll cost a fortune. We should try finding them ourselves first. If we can locate some, that would be ideal.

“Besides, we only need to get back to Orroux before the Awakened Tournament starts.

“And I’m almost out of resources too…”

Twelve hours of beast energy conversion had given him 60,000 points.

But it had also consumed over 40,000 beast crystals.

He only had around 20,000 left.

That wouldn’t last much longer.

After considering the matter carefully, Alan looked around at everyone.

Then, he stood up and gathered the team.

“Steven’s discovery has shown us a path that can transform every member of this team.

“Spirit fruits are rare, but we can’t afford to miss this opportunity.

“So before the Awakened Tournament begins, we’ll continue searching out here for a while longer.”

Everyone immediately nodded in agreement.

That was obviously a good thing.

Alan looked toward Peter and the others.

“But the road ahead is going to be extremely dangerous.

“So tomorrow, I’ll have Ernie send military personnel to escort you back.”

Peter and the others froze.

They hadn’t expected the time to part ways to come so soon.

Their moods immediately sank.

Finisher

Alan continued, “Sending you back doesn’t mean you’re leaving Ashen. I have assignments for all of you.”

The moment they heard that, everyone perked up.

Peter nodded firmly. “Captain, just give the order. We’ll get it done!”

Alan nodded. “Good. If nobody objects, that’s the plan.”

Everyone agreed.

A series of arrangements followed.

For the time being, Team Ashen would have to split up.

Near the end of the discussion, Alan’s expression turned extremely serious.

“Remember. Once you return to Orroux, contact him immediately. He’ll arrange everything. And keep a low profile. There are far too many people in Orroux who want revenge against me.

“I suspect there are a lot of people within the military and several major families secretly targeting me. If they discover your whereabouts, you could be in danger as well.”

Peter and the others nodded repeatedly.

“Good. Then it’s settled.

Every one of them was S–rank or higher.

Alan swept his gaze across the groups.

“For at least the next month, unless we encounter a situation that absolutely forces us to retreat, we’ll remain in the wilderness.

“First, to sharpen your combat instincts. Olivia will participate as well. From now on, we’ll no longer avoid beast swarms.

Everyone’s spirits surged.

Revenge!

Steven asked, “Against Alex?”

Alan shook his head. “Against God Eaters! And also Liam!

“He was one of the masterminds behind the massacre of Yvonne and my former teammates.

“He and another man orchestrated the entire tragedy.

“And recently, both Operation Moonfall and the incident at Moonclear Lake were his doing as well.

“It’s time to settle some scores!”

Steven saw the nearly tangible killing intent burning in Alan’s eyes.

It was as if Alan had finally stopped holding himself back after Peter and the others left.

Everyone nodded.

Alan continued, “From this point onward, most battles will be led by the five of you. Steven and I will train you with everything we’ve got. While you evolve, each of you must also transform into a true warrior.”

Everyone could hear the unwavering determination in his tone.

They answered in unison, “Yes, Captain!”

Alan nodded. “Now that they’re gone, our team structure needs to change.

“Steven and I will remain Vanguards. The rest of you will become Blooddrinkers. We’re abandoning the roles of Rearguard, ranged assassination unit, Healer, and Surveillant.

“From now on, everyone fights! Let’s go!”
