Birth Of The Crafts-God

Chapter 263 The Taskforce

A few hours after Lucas had defeated the drudnids, during the same time the news had already broken out in the city, a taskforce had been assembled to rescue the tourists. With some time having gone past, they had already made some progress in their investigation.The leader of the taskforce was a famous captain and detective within the Trundel City Security Force, the equivalent of the Baylands City Patrol Corps. He went by the name Tanner and was a sixth level Apertures Opening stage stellar practitioner.

From this, one could see the difference in terms of power and quality between the cities close to the capital and the capital city-states in other continents. In a place like Baylands City for instance, a captain would only be at the fifth level. Above that and they would qualify to be a director. But in the cities close to Belfargos City, seventh level was the minimum requirement for the director role.

Alongside his deputy, Tanner walked into a building that was recently set up outside the East Braftford relics. The building was filled with various complex devices and some display screens. There were also a dozen or so men seated in one corner, running various computing tasks.

"I heard you got more leads." Tanner asked a man with grey hair.

The grey-haired man happened to be the head of intelligence for the operation, and this building was the temporary base for the intelligence team. The other men were all members of the team and they were monitoring the relics while also trying to dig up any possible information or clues about the culprit and the event.

"Yeah, the approval just came in. We're filtering through the data right now." The grey-haired man responded.

At first, the intelligence unit had hacked the culprit's —an assistant re

As a combatant at the sixth level, Tanner was quite sensitive to strong individuals. It was even easier for him to notice the latter if they didn't hide their aura.

"Inform the squad to be ready for departure." Tanner ordered his deputy.

The latter saluted and left the building right away.

A few minutes later, a team of seventy men had gathered at the entrance of the East Braftford relics. All seventy men were suited up and equipped with various defensive and offensive vestiges.

There were twelve powerful stellar practitioners in this group of which three of them were at the seventh level of the Apertures Opening stage. Of the remaining nine, four were at the peak of the sixth level while the other five were at the mid point of the sixth level.

Because of the presence of a seventh level stellar practitioner, Tanner —a peak sixth level stellar practitioner— was relegated to second-in-command. The leader of the new assembled taskforce team was one of the four directors of the Trundel City Security Force, a seventh level stellar practitioner. The other three seventh level stellar practitioners were from allied factions that were convinced to help them.

With such a powerful force, although it was too much to say that they could conquer the relics, going in and out of the outer section of the core region was doable.

"Let's go."

The director led the group and stepped into the relics.

At the same time, various media outlets were broadcasting the scene. Some of them were related to the faction of the city government in support of the preservation of the relics, while the rest were on the other side. Regardless of which it was, the two sides showed interest in the movement of the assembled taskforce.
