The ladies helped to clean the battlefield and heal the injured.

Mag assisted at the side as an ordinary man.

The communicator vibrated and Mag went to take it out at a deserted corner. He got through to Xi.

"Mr. Mag, that monster indeed came from Underground City. I'll need to report to my superiors before I can ascertain its origin," Xi said, straight to the point.

"Miss Xi, according to the Norland Continent's rules, I killed this monster. As a spoil of war, it's mine now." Mag smiled. "Of course, I can hand this monster's nuclear core to you, so that you can bring it back. As an exchange, you need to give me a new nuclear core."

!!

After a moment of silence, Xi said faintly, "Mr. Mag is indeed a businessman."

"I've got rid of a trespasser whose strength was close to an Extraordinaire for you guys, and prevented the attention and investigation that might arise due to the massacre of the elves. Shouldn't you guys give me some reward?" Mag continued on.

"The Observer's duty doesn't include arresting trespassers. I only need to report this matter and a law enforcement team will handle it. The rest of it has nothing to do with me," Xi replied calmly.

"Then you are really true to your duty." Mag's idea of getting something out of it was crushed.

"You want a nuclear core. Could it be that you want to repair this mech? Given the Norland Continent's machinery standard, you can't restart it even if you received a nuclear core."

"You don't have to worry about that. It's awe-inspiring even if I put it in front of my house as a cannon stand."

"According to the rules, I have to bring it back to Underground City for destruction. Please hand it over to me, Mr. Mag." Xi's voice became more insistent.

"Ha, that's interesting. That's the rule of your Underground City. It has nothing to do with me." Mag smiled sarcastically. "Could it be that your Underground City doesn't resist when a robber comes into your home and then sends him away respectfully after that?"

After a moment of silence, Xi tried to say as calmly as possible, "Mr. Mag, up until this moment, our cooperation has been smooth. However, to ensure the separation and independence of the Norland Continent and Underground City. Please cooperate with us."

"Actually, a question has just popped up in my mind, could Miss Xi please answer me directly?" Mag's voice turned cold. "Underground City has always emphasized about your superiority and absolute secrecy towards the Norland Continent. The Norland Continent doesn't have any historical records about Underground City and even the ancient tribes didn't have verbal records about it.

"However, during the long history, today's trespasser shouldn't be the first, nor would it be the last. That's why you guys set up a special law enforcement team to catch the trespassers. It's also to eliminate the traces of your existence.

"Ironically, you guys could travel between worlds at will while the people on the Norland Continent don't even have the right to know about your existence. You even humiliate them with your high-and-mighty attitude and so-called 'Observer' name. You even alter their memories at will, or even kill them.

"Then, what is the Norland Continent? A pig sty? What are we? The pigs you rear in the pig sty?"

In the battleship's control room dozens of kilometers away, Xi's mouth was slightly open with a confused expression that had a tinge of fear.

The 'Observer' was a very special post. Xi was a colonel in the military, but her title as the 'Observer' wouldn't appear in her resume. It was top secret.

She came to the Norland Continent after three months of training. She completed her observation duty by following her manual and reporting to her superiors regularly.

She had never thought that this was inappropriate. That was only part of her job. She was simply doing her job and completing her mission.

However, after Mag asked those questions, she felt a chill up her back after thinking about it seriously.

In her service manual, keeping the existence of Underground City a secret was her topmost priority. For that, she could do anything to the Norland Continent, including elimination.

The existence of trespassers wasn't a rarity. The law enforcement team could capture more than 100 trespassers annually.

Some of them were wealthy young mistresses like Vicki. Their statuses allowed them to know about the Norland Continent's existence. They used the convenience of their identities to sneak into the Norland Continent, driven by their curiosity.

Some were outlaws who were trying to avoid capture by sneaking into the Norland Continent. The Norland Continent wasn't within the Underground City's jurisdiction.

As for whether the rich and powerful would come into the Norland Continent to commit oppressive crimes with the convenience of their identities, Xi wasn't certain.

In Underground City, there should be many other people who could do what Vicki did by herself.

Certain people in Underground City could go in and out of the Norland Continent and erase the memories of the natives at will, but the Norland Continent's natives didn't even have the right to know about the Underground City's existence. What the hell was that?

A second thought incurred profound fear. Xi felt a chill up her back. seriously.

Her iron will that was forged in the army, actually waivered then.

She had come to the Norland Continent for more than three months now. To her, this world was no longer a description in the record, or a string of numbers.

This world also had many different races that had their own words, languages and civilizations. The various races had disputes, but they were also trying hard to coexist in peace. They also had the unity and courage to fight with the Great Old Ones.

This was a group of beings that had intelligence just like the Underground City's people.

Even though there were discrepancies in their technology and top combat forces, that was all.

Xi didn't know how to answer Mag's questions. Perhaps, she had already got the answer, but it wasn't the one she wanted.

"I can't answer that." Xi tried to make herself sound as calm as possible.

"Then, please tell them that the Norland Continent is very savage. Monsters like this will perish if they dare to come. Just come if they dare." Mag smiled before hanging up.

"It's so embarrassing. I lost my composure. I wasn't as calm and collected as I would like to have been." Mag sighed inwardly.Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by N(o)vᴇl(ꜰ)ire.nᴇt

The monster that came to snatch the holy infant had already touched Mag's limit.

This feeling of being looked down upon and controlled was horrible.

However, this was the Norland Continent's situation when facing Underground City.

On the ice sheets in the north back then, Xi's battleship could kill hundreds of thousands of the Army of the Dead alone, but the Norland Continent's various races had to fight with their flesh and blood.

There might be many fleets of battleships like Xi's in Underground City. There might also be battleships that were even more sophisticated and powerful than Xi's.

If the Norland Continent was to take on Underground City right now, not only were they not the Underground City's match in their top combat power, even the crowd tactic of the common soldiers wouldn't work.

After all, one of their remote control mechs almost wiped out all the elven race's top combat power.

"Technology is the primary productive force," Mag murmured. He inwardly asked, "System, can you give me a technology tree?"

"Host, don't you realize that there is a faultline in Norland Continent's history? But Underground City has existed continuously for tens of thousands of years."
