A Core Ship From The Start Chapter 966

Chapter 966: Chapter 666 Shocking Chapter 966: Chapter 666 Shocking As they walked through the gate, a group of people followed the silent Steel Warriors inside, looking around and found nothing but desolation — that's right, there were no grasslands, no woods, not a trace of life. Everything seemed erased, with not even an insect surviving in the soil.

All that could be seen were the giant Steel Warriors, the only things moving in this place — not even a bird in the sky.

“By the Stones above, what in the world is going on with this godforsaken place?”

The Dwarf gripped his Battle Axe, looking around uneasily. And the Elves, their faces pale, were a race accustomed to living in forests, accustomed to the sound of streaming water and lush greenery. The bleakness before their eyes was like the worst nightmare deep in every Elf's heart.

“There is no sign of life here; it's simply a land of death.”

The Elf Ranger muttered softly.

“In the name of Correllon, Lost Ground didn't look like this in the past! What on earth has the Tribunal done here?”

“I guess we can only ask Miss Emilia this question.”

The leading warrior looked at Emilia with dissatisfaction.

“Miss Emilia, you seem to have known all about this beforehand?”

“I can assure you, I don't know much more than you do. I only have some understanding of the Tribunal,” Emilia responded helplessly to the suspicions of her companions.

“When Neverwinter City was in peril, it was the Great Judge of the Tribunal who stepped in to save the city… We were just his pawns, to put it plainly, we were more like flag-bearers, just cheering for him, and in fact, we didn't do much. Of course, if Mr. Kasim and Miss Roxia hadn't found the lost antidote, Neverwinter City couldn't have been saved either.”

As she spoke, Emilia gave a slight smile to Kasim and Roxia, who felt a bit embarrassed — the truth is, after their ordeal in the Dark Region, they were no longer the naive Adventurers they once were but had matured a great deal. Hearing such praise… still made them somewhat bashful.

“I don't disagree with that,”
said Luganis, his face drawn with a frown.

“Just like Miss Emilia said, that guy was indeed the hero who saved Neverwinter City…”

“That's quite surprising…”

“You all shouldn't be surprised, I'm sure you've heard the bards' songs…”

“Ah…”

Just then, a Bard walking at the rear seemed to remember something and started to sing softly,
“On the dark night of Neverwinter City, when the cold wind assaulted, there were five heroes who stood up to stop the spread of the nightmare.

One of them was a Sacred Knight serving Tyler, whose blade of faith emitted a glow that illuminated the darkness.

Another was a Mage who had read extensive books; she used Magic to dodge the wicked assault.

The twins from the wilderness joined hands and bravely set out on the journey to find the antidote.

And the tall warrior in Black Battle Armor, swinging the War Hammer, obliterated all obstacles in front of them… Uh…”

The Bard stopped, realizing something, or perhaps by now, everyone had realized it. After all, the plague in Neverwinter City had been the biggest news in the Northern Land lately; it was already being sung about by Bards in every tavern, and it was popular enough to top the charts of the most popular songs in the Northern Land…

Sure enough, according to this content, when considering the information received from Silver Moon City, it was the tall warrior wearing the Black Battle Armor…

Well…

“So that's why you all came?”

“We weren't sure, but now, at least we can be certain.”

Emilia nodded in agreement, and everyone finally understood why those people were here.

“Then, I think at the very least you can introduce us to the nature of this organization called the Tribunal.”

The leading warrior also became serious; he was an official representative sent personally by Elascoe from Silver Moon City, and his visit here was not just a scouting task, but also a political mission. As for the other Adventurers, they were more for fighting, and at least for now, it seemed they would not come to blows, so he hoped to acquire some intelligence before fulfilling his duty to the best of his ability.

Emilia, of course, wouldn't refuse. Luckily, during her travels with Duanmu Huai, she had been thoroughly 'briefed' on what kind of organization the Tribunal was and laid out a detailed answer.

After listening to the introduction from Emilia and people like Kasim, the group's expressions became very… peculiar.

“An organization resolved to protect Humans at any cost and to destroy every Alien, Heretic, and Demon that dares threaten humanity?”

The Bard furrowed his brow.

“This… well, I can understand their thoughts, but… isn't this a bit too extreme?”

The Harpist Alliance was a similar organization, but what they guarded was good rather than humanity, and the Harpist Alliance acted more covertly, playing a role similar to 'Mechanical Descent.' For instance, when a hero was surrounded by evil enemies or Monsters with no way out, 'suddenly' a Harper would descend from the skies and show them a path to escape.
