Chapter 2071 - 1609: Shock_4

Icaroya sat in the chair, and standing respectfully in front of her were Commanders Lorrek, Ezaloga, Kellaras, and Nan Qi.

Each person had an extremely serious expression, standing completely upright.

Icaroya’s cold gaze swept over each of them one by one.

After a long time, Icaroya spoke.

"You four have been following me the longest, and are the people I trust most."

"It is our honor to follow Lord Icaroya."

Commander Nan Qi quickly seized the rare opportunity to flatter.

Icaroya didn’t say much, only indifferently continued: "You should be very clear where we are going next and how dangerous it is. As those who’ve been following me for so long, I can give you one chance to regret. It’s not too late to back out now."

After listening, the expressions of Lorrek and the others grew even more solemn. They knew Icaroya was giving them the freedom to choose.

But as the most loyal subordinates, how could they possibly shrink back? Soon, they replied with firm determination.

"We will never regret."

Upon hearing their response, Icaroya was very satisfied and said to them.

"Very good!"

At this moment, the straightforward-minded Commander Kellaras curiously asked.

"Lord Icaroya, what exactly are we going to do on the Negative God Star?"

"Uh?"

Nan Qi and the other three glanced sideways at Kellaras, with a strange look in their eyes. Since Lord Icaroya hadn’t mentioned what they were supposed to do, she certainly didn’t intend to tell them.

Only someone as straightforward as Kellaras could ask such a question.

Nonetheless, they also wanted to know the insider details.

Upon hearing Kellaras’s words, Icaroya replied coldly.

"You don’t need to ask what we’re doing, and I won’t tell you. It’s not that I don’t trust you, but the matter is significant; the more people who know, the less safe it becomes. I haven’t even told Goli. Remember, the Eternal Sleep Clan is everywhere. Additionally, internal members are not always reliable. You should understand this from the severe casualties sustained by the Royal Order of Twelve Knights during the attack. Therefore, you do not need to know what exactly we’re doing. Once you need to know, I will naturally tell you. If you’re truly curious, then you only need to know one thing."

"What thing, Lord Icaroya?"

Kellaras responded quickly.

Nan Qi and the others were equally surprised and listened carefully.

"You only need to know that this operation is extremely dangerous, more dangerous than anything you’ve ever experienced. You must participate with the resolve to die. Of course, I promise you that if you survive after the task is completed, I will reward you with status, wealth, and more. Your names will go down in history. Regarding your families, I’ve already made arrangements; regardless of success or failure, they will be properly taken care of."

Icaroya said in a deep voice.

"Understood, thank you, Lord Icaroya!"

Upon hearing Icaroya’s words, Nan Qi and the others became even more serious.

Just then, a knocking sound echoed.

Everyone among Nan Qi was slightly startled; someone came to disturb them at this time.

"Come in!"

Icaroya frowned slightly and spoke coldly.

Following that, the door was slowly opened, and Green Ghost hurriedly walked in. He saluted towards Icaroya and hastily reported.

"Lord Icaroya, it’s an emergency. The Negative God Star has erupted, the Negative Energy tide has struck, and lots of people below are having issues."

Icaroya turned to Nan Qi and the others and said.

"All of you go handle it."

"Yes!"

Nan Qi and the others quickly responded respectfully.

Immediately, Kellaras and the others exited, and soon only Icaroya was left alone in the office.
