Sentry: The guide who's getting extra help is very busy today.

Mi saw that Beslia had killed Kim Tae-ang in one move, and then secretly retreated. Two of her personal sentries died from the enemy's metal shard attack.

When Yuanli arrived and launched the attack, she and her personal sentries had already run to the outermost perimeter.

"Coco, which way do we run?"

"Go to Agsa Aipa White Tower."

After running for twenty minutes, I heard the sound of wings flapping in the air overhead.

They've caught up!

Miko was exasperated: "Damn it, doesn't he understand the principle of not pursuing a cornered enemy?"

Note: Some cultures in this world overlap with those in the human world.

Yuanli killed the pollutant next to Miko, and blood and flesh splattered everywhere, covering her.

"If you go any further, I'll make my move."

"We surrender." Miko raised her hands.

Yuanli killed her personal sentinel, even though they hadn't moved an inch. Miko glared angrily at Yuanli, accusing him of breaking his word!

"You disagree?"

"I agree." Her eyes cleared a bit.

Reason prevailed, and she chose to be pragmatic.

Yuanli casually offered an excuse: "You raised your hands to surrender, but they didn't."

He left Mi behind because of her SS-level guide status.

Grana Milo White Tower is in dire need of a guide, so killing Miko like this wouldn't be worthwhile.

Keeping these sentries around is not only pointless, but they could also become a means for Miko to escape. It would even require Miko to use his mental energy to appease them. How could he possibly keep them alive?

"What I said was 'We surrender'."

"Can't you tell it's an excuse?" Yuanli pointed in the direction of the white tower. "Run back, or you'll die."

If I had known she wouldn't understand polite words, I wouldn't have made excuses.

"Oh." She still wanted to live.

Yuanli was responsible for cleaning up the scattered pollutants that had fled far from the White Tower, as well as bringing the guide back and killing the sentries on the spot.

Shu Zao used the White Pagoda as the center to expand his territory and was responsible for cleaning up the remaining pollutants.

Not long after Yuanli left, Shuzao finished her "work" and Boyou held her as they sat on the command platform.

The remaining five sentries were helping to repair the White Tower.

"Commander Shuzao, you've gotten stronger again, congratulations." Guan Zhou changed his clothes and came alone.

"Commander Guan Zhou, don't you get any rest?"

"Wait, the treatment room is full. I found a late-stage 'her'. Want to know?"

"No rush. I'll ask Grana Milo White Tower's commander if they know anything about it once they have some free time."

She was 80% certain that the later "her" would appear here!

The polluted corpses piled up like mountains. There was no way to delay them, and they couldn't guard their way in. They had a 'bug' to help them.

Guan Zhou: ………

"I have more detailed information."

"It's not complete." How could the later 'she' know everything?

Guan Zhou sat on the railing, looking down at the sentries and guides: "You stole my glory, how are you going to make it up to me?"

Afterwards, Shu Zao was the one who received the most praise, and the outside world's attention also focused on her.

People habitually idolize the heroes who stand until the very end, without caring when the heroes actually entered the fray.

Even when people click on the official list of casualties, they only skim through it briefly, sigh and lament, then think about themselves before ending their mourning. Most of their emotions are placed on the living heroes!

The only exception: the list of casualties included sentries and guides whom the victims cared about.

This approach is both right and wrong.

"You didn't steal it. You've done a great job, and Speaker Nironko will give you special praise."

She's been in the limelight enough lately, so she should keep a low profile. Since Guan Zhou cares, she'll have Nilonko pull some strings and get her share transferred to Guan Zhou.

It remains to be seen whether Guan Zhou can withstand the negative impact of such praise.

"No way." The rejection was so quick that Bo You glanced at Guan Zhou.

Shu Zao's eyes held a hint of amusement: "Scared?"

"Tch, you think I'm scared?" Guan Zhou's gaze swept over the circle.

The circle looks really useful.

"Aren't you afraid? Aren't you afraid?" Shuzao nestled in Boyou's arms, feeling sleepy.

"Go to sleep, I'll watch over you." Bo You took a blanket and covered her with it.

Guan Zhou turned his head away, then turned back in disgust.

It's so disgusting.

Pooh!

It's windy, and my head feels a bit cold.

A hat was worn on his head, and the hand holding the hat had distinct knuckles; he was Guan Zhou's personal sentry.

Two voices rang out simultaneously.

Guan Zhou: "No need, I'm not cold."

Shu Zao: "No need, I'm not cold~".

He's being hypocritical! He'd already gone to great lengths to say that "cold" word.

"Hmph! Serves you right for having such a fatal side effect." Guan Zhou climbed down from the railing and walked away without looking back.

If you can't get the information you want, you might as well find something that benefits you.

Only Shu Zao and Bo You remained on the command platform.

"Boyou, Guan Zhou is even better than you—" Shu Zao changed the subject abruptly, "You are better than him in every way."

"It's okay, go ahead and say it. I won't have any objections. After all, I'm not the only Sentinel you were matched with on floor 88."

Shu Zao: "…………"

This didn't sound like she was alright, but thankfully she hadn't finished speaking.

Bo You pulled the blanket tighter around himself and used his back to block the wind.

Granna Miro White Tower replenished the sentries a few hours later; most of them had youthful faces.

I heard that the number of guides hasn't been replenished, and the high-level guides at each White Tower are unwilling to let go, so those guides are also not very willing to come here.

Nironco forcibly transferred some guides from the central city, intending to find an opportunity to "tear" a few guides from the various White Towers to fill the vacancies at Grana Miro White Tower.

It's not hard to find a guide with a criminal record. Once he gathers up some "evidence," he can be punished for multiple offenses, and it would be perfectly reasonable to transfer Grana Miro White Tower to the White Tower. The other White Tower members wouldn't dare to say anything.

Lu Yi squeezed out some time to have a short meeting with Shu Zao and his personal sentinels, sharing everything he had seen and answering all their questions.

When they came out, Shu asked Bethlia for her location, as she needed to lead Bethlia back to Maurice Dubonne White Tower before Nylonco found out anything.

Seeing Shuzao enter the treatment room, Bethlia grabbed her hand, her eyes full of pleading: "Commander Shuzao, can you please save Yanzhe?"

Shuzao gave Bethlia a very gentle hug to comfort her, and then looked at the doctor: "Can he move?"

"Yes, I put him into a deep sleep. He'll wake up, immediately reach the SSSS-level threshold, and then die."

Existing technology and resources cannot save him!

Iwatsu and Beslia's compatibility is not 100%. Guides of SSS level and below can be upgraded with the accumulation of crystal cores, but the conditions required for upgrading to SSSS level are different and it is unclear.

"I'm not sure, are you sure you want to try?" Shuzao waited for Bethlia to make a decision.

"try!"

"Then let's set off back to the White Pagoda."

In Maurice Dubonne White Tower, she can focus more on upgrading Bethlia and Iris.

After countless efforts, she showed some promise, but it was unstable, and most of the time it didn't even last a second.

Three seconds is the longest replacement time!

If we're lucky, we might be able to extract the SSSS-grade pheromone that Beslia replaced.

I'm sorry, but I can't have Beslia help Iwatsu get promoted!
