Full-Time Magister: The Failed Knight, But the Dark Angel

Chapter 84 Ning Wei Takes Power in the Ancient Capital

Inside the ancient capital city.

The Clock Tower Magic Association has been transformed into a strategic command center, with President Han Ji leading all parties and responsible for receiving powerful individuals from other regions within the ancient capital and assigning them suitable tasks.

Mu Ningxue and others brought important intelligence, and Fei Yi followed them, and they were fortunate enough to enter the command center.

Han Ji was unsure of what Fiyi, the vampire duke, was thinking. He treated her with courtesy but did not make any arrangements for the time being before hurriedly going to deal with other matters.

When Lu Huanfei returned and recounted the situation, Han Ji was overjoyed and respectfully approached everyone with Lu Huanfei.

"Duke Fay, Mu Ningwei hopes you can help us stay at the South Wall. We will deal with the evil deeds of the Black Pepper Court in the city as soon as possible, and then concentrate our forces to fight against the powerful figures in the Abyss of Evil."

Han Ji's old face was earnest, "I don't know if you..."

Faye rose. "I am already aware of my king's decree."

"I'm staying here simply to fully hand over the reins to everyone, and also to make a small request to Chairman Han."

Han Ji said respectfully, "Please speak."

Han Ji dared not be arrogant in the slightest when facing a powerful figure like Fiyi.

Besides, he still needs someone's help, so even if Faye were to grovel over his head, he wouldn't get angry.

He's willing to grant any request as long as it's not excessive.

Faye strode gracefully to the floor-to-ceiling windows of the command center, overlooking the ancient city streets where chaos was beginning to emerge:

"Please do some favors for the people our king has brought; they might save the city's life if necessary!"

Faye smiled mysteriously, unfurled her vampire wings, and vanished in a flash.

Han Ji and Lu Huan exchanged bewildered glances. "What's the meaning of the people Mu Ningwei brought?"

Although they didn't understand the specific meaning, they quickly relayed the instruction into the city.

Lu Huan urgently left the area. He was personally directing the operation to suppress the Black Pepper Court, aiming to resolve the situation as quickly as possible.

Liu Ru did not follow Fei Yi to the south wall, but stayed behind and gave Han Ji a graceful bow:

"President Han, my sister has some important information that might be able to resolve the Sha Yuan issue. Would you mind if we went there together?"

Han Ji nodded immediately, "Of course."

The Liu sisters are both monarchs, and they are also Mu Ningwei's people.

Han Ji was eager to know what major discovery they had made.

Liu Ru led Han Ji outside.

Mo Fan, Mu Ningxue, Asha Ruya, and He Yu exchanged glances and quickly followed.

Liu Xian stood with a group of people in the square outside the clock tower.

Mo Fan looked at the acquaintance in surprise:

"Xiao Hou, what are you doing here?"

"Brother Fan."

Zhang Xiaohou touched his head in greeting and explained in a low voice:

"Su Xiaoluo and her team have made a major discovery that might save the ancient capital."

Mo Fan and the others rescued Zhang Xiaohou and some villagers. Because there were many people, Liu Ru contacted her sister Liu Xian and brought a group of blood descendants to send them back first.

Then the Abyss of Calamity descended, and some of the villagers came up with a solution, asking Liu Xian to take them to see Han Ji.

"We are descendants of the ancient kings, and Sha Yuan will not attack us on its own initiative."

"If we can enter the Abyss of Evil and pay homage to our ancestor, we might be able to beg him to show mercy and spare us juniors."

"We're willing to take the risk. Since the ancient capital is doomed anyway, we might as well fight it out before we die!"

This was a solution devised by the villagers.

They were either influenced by the panic spread by the Black Pepper Court, or they knew that the Undead Empire was invincible and decided to take a desperate gamble.

Han Ji pondered.

To ask the ancient king to show leniency is undoubtedly a ridiculous proposal.

But as the commander, Han Ji wouldn't let go of any possibility of saving the ancient capital, so he spoke up:

"The situation is not yet at its most critical point. Thank you all for your concern."

"If things cannot be changed, I will personally escort you all to the Abyss of Evil."

Liu Xian suddenly spoke:

"Chairman Han, Wang believes this is a feasible solution."

Han Ji was slightly taken aback. Mu Ningwei actually approved of this method?

"Then... I understand."

"I will immediately gather the mages and, while there is still plenty of time, escort you all to the Abyss of Fiends!"

Liu Xian then said:

"Since Chairman Han is about to leave, command will definitely have to be handed over to someone else. I wonder if Wang could recommend a new commander?"

Han Ji instantly had a bad feeling.

Mu Ningwei wanted to send them away and let his demons take over the city... Could it be that he was being controlled by demons?

Han Ji quickly dismissed his unrealistic fantasies and said seriously:

"Who does Mu Ningwei want to recommend?"

Liu Xian smiled, "Mu Zhanxing, head of the Mu family."

Han Ji was slightly taken aback, then pleasantly surprised, "Mu Zhanxing has also come to the ancient capital?"

"The head of the Mu family is in the 'Jiaoweixin Group' building. In addition, there are two other senior figures. Chairman Han can call to confirm."

Han Ji immediately went to a corner to make a phone call. When he returned a moment later, he was completely different, with a big smile on his face.

"Countess Liu Xian, Countess Liu Ru, thank you all so much!"

"Please do as you please. Do whatever you want. I will immediately notify all the mages to use the 'Jiao Weixin Group' building as the new command center!"

Mu Zhanxing not only came in person, but also brought a Xuan Snake of the Supreme Monarch level!

When Han Ji saw Sha Yuan, he already felt that he had to die a heroic death, only hoping to play a role before he died and save more residents of the ancient capital.

Unexpectedly, Mu Ningwei took on a major responsibility, guarding the four walls of the ancient capital. While freeing up a large number of combat forces, he also made arrangements within the city.

Han Ji even suspected that Mu Ningwei was able to foresee the future and had predicted this scene in advance.

How could that be...?

Han Ji shook his head, putting down the burden in his heart, and contacted the mage troops in the city.

His next task was only one.

Before the corpse of the mountain arrives, escort the villagers to the Abyss of Evil, then rush back to participate in the final battle.

After confirming that they had carried out Mu Ningwei's instructions, the Liu sisters gracefully took their leave.

Han Ji summoned a large number of mages, preparing to take Su Xiaoluo and the others to the Abyss of Evil.

Zhang Xiaohou stepped forward:

"President Han, I am a Mage, and I hope to participate in this mission to escort Su Xiaoluo and the others."

He Yu immediately became alert, pinched Zhang Xiaohou's lower back, and stepped forward, saying, "I'm going too!"

Han Ji asked, "This operation is likely to be in vain. No one knows if we will be able to see the Ancient King. It won't make a difference if you two mid-level mages meet."

"I appreciate your kindness, you are all commendable. If you wish to be of any use, you can climb the city walls and join the Hell Undead Invasion."

After saying this, Han Ji led his team away.

Zhang Xiaohou watched Su Xiaoluo's retreating figure with some worry, while He Yuqi's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

Mo Fan quickly changed the subject:

"Don't you guys find it strange that Han Ji seems to trust Mu Ningwei so much, even handing over command to the Mu family head?"

Asha's eyes showed doubt. "It is indeed very strange."

If it were her, she would never so easily hand over command to someone else.

Especially for Han Ji, Mu Ning was an outsider, so it was even more impossible.

Mu Ningxue said, "Instead of thinking about these things, we should think about which city wall to fight on."

"The North Wall, that's where Sha Yuan appeared. The battle there should be the most intense."

The group headed to the North Wall, where they saw the gray sky crack open with pure white scars. The Demon-Slaying Sword descended from the sky, purifying the terrifying beast-faced corpse master and turning all the undead within a few thousand meters into ashes.

The monks on the north city wall suddenly erupted in deafening shouts of worship!

Mo Fan: "...I think I understand why Han Ji trusts Mu Ningwei so much now."

Listen to the story told by the monk guarding the city.

Mu Ningwei has actually taken over the entire city defense of the ancient capital!?
