Unfortunately, his good fortune didn't last long. He had only killed a few Hollows when Haschwalth came from Silverframe to stop him.

"We don't need to sacrifice everything; just a part will be enough to awaken His Majesty."

Hasward, unusually, confided some inside information to Bazz-Bido.

"Your eyes make me want to vomit up what I ate last night."

Bazzby felt an unusual glare from Hasward's calm gaze, and snapped his fingers with his right hand, flames flowing from his fingertips.

The flames rushed toward Haschward, but he cleaved them in two with a single sword strike.

"I was just kidding you. I've actually already met Ishida. Guess where he is now?"

Bazzby laughed loudly, and the flame in his hand condensed into a pillar, shooting towards Hasward.

"No one can stop His Majesty's resurgence."

Haschward calmly dodged the Flame Pillar's attack and answered Bazzby's question without seeming to inquire about Ishida Sogen's whereabouts.

"All you can do is spout meaningless nonsense?"

Bazzby grew bored with Hasward's unyielding attitude and his desire to question him diminished.

"We still have to settle this with our fists. Once I beat you to the ground, let's see if you're still so stubborn!"

Bazzby's body burst into flames, and the raging fire spread rapidly outwards.

The flames inside the prison grew ever brighter.

Engulfed in flames, Bazby looked like a fire god descended to earth.

Hasward's hiding space is getting smaller and smaller.

"Hasward, I'm stronger than you now!"

Since arriving in the Unseen Empire, Bazzby has been diligently training every day, hoping to defeat Hasward once again.

Chapter 341 Conflict (Thank you for voting!)

Outside the hunting grounds, many Quincy were waiting for those inside to come out so they could get information about the hunting grounds as soon as possible.

"Lord Ishida!"

"Lord Ishida has arrived!"

A group of figures suddenly fell from the sky, attracting everyone's attention.

Upon closer inspection, everyone recognized him as Ishida Munen, a knight of the Sternritter.

Behind Ishida Muneyuu were some Quincy, one of whom was Sternritter Knight Soto, and the rest were all officers from Silverframe Castle.

"The recruitment plan has changed. The recruitment is now cancelled. Everyone should go home."

Ishida Sogen's words left the Quincy present speechless.

Subsequently, Ishida Muneken and the officers evacuated the crowd.

"Wait! Lord Ishida! We haven't received any orders!"

The Quincy who were in charge of maintaining order at the hunting grounds came to stop Ishida Muneaki.

"This is an order from the Sternritter."

"Ishida Munen said coldly."

"This...please provide Lord Hasward's authorization..."

The Quincy in charge of maintaining order in the hunting grounds was Haschwald's direct adjutant. He had not received any relevant notification and did not believe Ishida Muneaki's words.

"Then I'm sorry."

Ishida Muneaki waved his hand, and two high-ranking officers behind him immediately subdued the adjutant.

What are you doing?!

The adjutant was unaware of the conflict between Hasward and Ishida Muneaki and was incredulous at their sudden intervention.

"Bazby is helping us hold off Haschward. We need to hurry and evacuate the crowd before heading into the hunting grounds to eliminate the Hollows inside."

Ishida Munen addressed the crowd.

However, their actions were quickly thwarted.

Yhwach's personal guard, Gerard Valkyrie, fell from the sky.

"Ishida Muneaki, Sou, if I understand correctly, are you planning to betray us?"

Gerrard's attire resembled that of a Spartan warrior, with a steel helmet covering his head, a cloak covering his muscular upper body, and armor on his arms and legs.

"No, we have not betrayed the Invisible Empire."

Ishida Muneaki raised his spirit bow and aimed it at Yhwach's personal guard, Gerald.

......

The lightning pierced the head of the Gillian Hollow, and its battered body completely lost its vitality, its massive form crashing to the ground.

"Finally got some points again."

Jadis smiled slightly and took the points.

After the squads were reassigned, the Quincy's discontent was temporarily relieved.

The group worked together to hunt down more than a dozen Hollows. After a round, Gatis finally earned new points again.

"Those guys are putting in less and less effort," Gatis said with some dissatisfaction. She had just noticed some Quincy when she fired an arrow.

After the distribution method was changed to equal distribution, many Quincy started to slack off.

They knew this point wasn't theirs, so they only fired a couple of arrows as a token gesture, unwilling to put in the effort.

They are only willing to go all out when it is their turn or when a Quincy they are close to gets points.

This has led to the team subtly splitting into several smaller groups.

The Hollow that just died was destroyed by Gatis and two Quincy who shared her points.

The other Quincy in the trio, Pera, is a long-haired woman who wears glasses.

She used to be a soldier in Rita's squad.

Like Jadis, she was often harassed because she was prettier than Rita.

However, before Gatis enlisted, Pera had already been forced away by Rita and transferred to another squad.

If it weren't for Rita's difficult behavior, no one would have wanted to be transferred.

Rita's squad is responsible for patrolling the area at the foot of Silverframe City, which is one of the safest places in the outer city, and the military police here are naturally the most comfortable.

Military police officers in areas with poor security have countless tasks to handle every day.

If Gatis doesn't perform better in the future, her situation might be similar to Pera's, and she'll be forced out by Rita before long.

Pera, who had expended a lot of energy in the previous battle, said helplessly after catching his breath, "They know they won't get this point."

Lorna sighed, "There's nothing we can do about it. We'll just have to put in less effort when it's their turn to score."

“I’ve also expended a lot of energy, so I need to conserve some.” Jadis nodded. She was quite straightforward; she put in the effort when others were scoring points, but when it was her turn to score, those people were just slacking off.

"Have you noticed that the intervals between encounters with Hollows are getting longer and longer?" Pella pushed up her glasses and said thoughtfully, "We've almost cleared out the Hollows in this area."

“It’s time to go somewhere else,” Lorna said. “This hunting ground is converted from an old town; it’s huge, and we’ve probably only explored less than a tenth of it.”

At that moment, Sergeant Rita shouted:

"The Hollows here have been mostly cleared out; it's time for us to move on to the next place!"

The other Quincy also noticed that the density of Hollows in this area had decreased significantly, and they had no objections.

Without wasting any time, everyone headed to the next area together.

However, when they arrived at the next area, they found that there were already people there.

There were quite a few people; it was a team of more than twenty Quincy.

"Hand over the token, and you may leave."

"That's what the leader of the Quincy said."

The Quincy on the other side had no intention of communicating with them; instead, they chose to directly steal their points!

"Instructor Lucas, we were just passing through and had absolutely no intention of opposing you..."

Sergeant Rita forced a smile.

"That's Lucas, the instructor of the Second Military Police Regiment..."

Lorna's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

The opposing team is clearly stronger than them.

Besides the difference in numbers, Instructor Lucas has a high reputation in the outer city, and his team's cohesion is much stronger than theirs.

“If a fight breaks out later, we need to find a chance to retreat.” Pera looked at Jadis, reminding this hot-tempered woman not to get carried away with the fighting.

"clear."

Jadis nodded calmly.

The disparity between the two sides was obvious. Instructor Lucas was originally an elite Quincy from Silverframe City, and his participation in this selection was aimed at the Sternritter.

Their leader, however, was Sergeant Major Rita, who could only act arrogantly and domineeringly in front of the new recruits.

"Hand over the token..." Instructor Lucas saw through the team's true strength and felt that no one could shake his position. "You can also join my team."

Instructor Lucas doesn't mind continuing to expand the team.

As far as he knew, there was another instructor who had advanced to this round, and that instructor was his real competitor.

As an instructor, Lucas knew that there were some hidden rules in this selection process.

After the hunt, the knights of the Sternritter will vote based on the participants' performance.

Only the participant with the most votes is eligible to enter the next round and undergo the test of the Sternritter; the others only receive the reward of entering Silverframe City to advance in rank.

Instructor Lucas wanted to be the first to leave the hunting grounds in order to win more votes.

“We’re willing to share half…” Sergeant Rita naturally didn’t want her previous efforts to be in vain, and she certainly didn’t want Instructor Lucas to be riding on her head.

However, she soon discovered that someone in the team was actually interested in Instructor Lucas's suggestion, and she immediately flew into a rage.

"Coach Lucas is amazing. If we follow him, we might get more points."

"Yeah, I only got one point anyway, so it doesn't matter."

Some people have only scored one or two points so far, and they think it's worth it to exchange one or two points for a ticket to join Lucas's coaching team.

Sergeant Rita knew that if things continued this way, she would definitely lose her points, so she decided to take a gamble.

"Are you really going to give up all your efforts?" Sergeant Rita interrupted the disheartening voices. "Split up and break through; they can't catch so many!"

Sergeant Rita's thinking was simple: Instructor Lucas wouldn't allow his men to be scattered and capture them.

Communication tools cannot be used in the hunting grounds, making it difficult for these temporarily assembled teams to regroup once they are dispersed.

Sergeant Rita pointed in the direction of the trio of Gatiss and shouted to the Quincy opposite them:

"Those guys got the most points!"

The bracelet that holds the tokens has a special design. It is originally white, and the more tokens you collect, the redder the bracelet becomes.

Jadis's bracelet had turned a very bright red, which clearly indicated that she had scored a lot of points.

In an instant, all of Lucas's team focused their attention on Gatis and her two companions.

The expressions of the three women, including Jadis, immediately changed.

"Get out of here! Split up and escape!"

Once Gatiss had drawn everyone's attention, Sergeant Rita immediately told the others to scatter and flee.

Sergeant Rita did not escape alone, not because she was kind-hearted, but because she felt that running alone would be too conspicuous.

The Quincy squad, which already lacked cohesion, scattered instantly, dispersing in all directions.
