But they couldn't really do anything about it.
The fact that the soul magician is still alive will definitely spread far and wide, but since she's already a rank 7 soul magician, there was not much that they could do.
Mr. Jones remembered that his own son told him that once they advanced to rank 7, there will be many things changed.
One of them was the fact that it would get harder and harder to kill them.
Their abilities alone were more than enough to make many people felt the hardship in killing them. Various trump cards were hidden secretly and they would be able to escape death even after suffering fatal wounds…
Each and every single one of these returnees were very troublesome to deal with.
Making them enemies were not something that the people in the Green Planet ever wanted.
But…
It seemed that living in harmony all the time was nothing more than a pipe dream based on this development.
"Sir…"
"Leave it be and let the report stay here." Mr. Jones couldn't really do anything to that soul magician, so he planned to talk with his son later. Besides, their first priority should be to focus on the 5 cracks in Continent Z.
While they knew that these cracks now represented the returnees in Continent Z, only two of them were near City A Base and both has been sealed by Riya.
One of them was close to City J where Dina was standing guard.
Another one was handed over to the Martial Arts Association.
And the last one… he had just received report that the Magic Association wanted to claim that crack for themselves.
Mr. Jones felt that they should have other plans when they took the crack for themselves, but he couldn't really do anything but accept it.
After all, he had no right to refuse.
And that crack was so far away that he didn't have the time and energy to care.
…
City A Base, Arnold and Amelia's side
Bang!
Considering that both Arnold and Amelia were relatively strong and had reached rank 5, the two of them naturally fought on the frontline along with the soldiers. These soldiers were specifically trained and received more resources, all for the sake of them stepping forward when it was really necessary.
There were also many other magicians, magic warriors, and even warriors who participated in the battle.
The existence of the formation allowed them to go out and fight without much worry about their defense. Because all they needed to do is to make sure that the ammunition was enough.
Fire, fire, and fire.
That was all they needed to do.
Arnold realized that these people had slowly put down their caution and were only busy using up their magic skills like spamming RPG game.
It was a bit unsightly.
While it was fine for this battle, but if they continued with this mentality for the next battle, what awaited them would be nothing more than their own demise.
Arnold couldn't bear to see it.
Samuel had build this City A Base with such difficulty that Arnold couldn't accept it if the people in this base were squandering his effort with such a half baked method. So he felt that City A Base needed a reform.
And with so many magic beasts outside, who would be afraid that there wouldn't be enough supplies to stimulate them?
Farming had just succeeded not long ago and they were already processing a lot of grains to stock up.
"…I never know you're so dedicated towards management before, Brother Arnold." Amelia looked at her boyfriend in astonishment.
After all, she had never seen him like this.
"Not really… I don't have any detailed plan and I plan to let Ruben be the one to make it. Anyway, he's proficient in it."
Amelia: "…" poor Ruben.
If Ruben were to know what these two were thinking, he will definitely scold them.
What a good friend they were!
