Rebirth of the Noble Mage Behind the Scenes

Chapter 459 - 234: Betrayal and Opera



"What's going on, my task shows failure?!"

"The camp is gone... Damn it! My contribution points and task rewards!!"

Seeing a series of system prompts, many players were dumbfounded on the spot.

The game had been going on for so long; players had witnessed the dissolution of small factions before. But the dissolution of a large organization like the Embers Organization, with high-rank leaders and deep background, was unprecedented since the server launch.

At that moment, the few high-level Embers Organization leaders who had led the sneak attack on their allies were also defeated and captured or killed on the spot under the attacks of others.

Under the furious retaliation of Ray, who was of the Ninth Rank, these Seventh and Eighth Rank professionals, sent on a suicide mission by Anvis, had no hope of escaping.

Previously, Anvis had specifically selected spellcasters from the evil camp to control, and now that he was about to leave, these people were no longer of any use.

Watching the sudden change of situation in the field, many players were stunned for a while, then gradually realized what was happening, and started to flee.

With the camp gone, there was no point in fighting.

At the same time, due to the sudden chaos on the side of the Resistance Army, the pressure on the Kingdom Federation forces fighting desperately was greatly reduced, allowing them to seize the opportunity to break through the encirclement.

Fortunately, having obtained intelligence beforehand, Ray had anticipated this scene even before the sneak attack unfolded.

After quickly suppressing the attackers, Ray immediately arranged for people to temporarily take over the teams of expatriates from the Embers Organization, to avoid dispersing their formation.

Meanwhile, as the Kingdom Federation forces broke through weak points, a new Mechanical Army emerged from the flank, significantly slowing down their breakout speed.

However, by this time, the main force of the Kingdom side had also extricated themselves from the entanglement on the front battlefield and began to reinforce this side.

In the end, after paying a heavy price, the remaining small portion of the Kingdom Federation forces broke through the siege and joined up with the reinforcements that had arrived.

The victorious side of the Resistance Army then started a steady retreat, maintaining their defensive formation to prevent pursuit from the enemy.

"Brothers and sisters, everyone listen up! Our former leader 'Mirror Man' has defected! He has abandoned the honorable identity of the Resistance Organization and chosen to join the side of those evil nobles.

The secret task you were given was nothing but a ruse to use you as cannon fodder, leveraging what little value you had left to launch a sneak attack on former comrades, serving as capital for his advancement.

It's not us who initiated the betrayal of the organization; it was the leader who betrayed us first!"

After the war temporarily ended, with Ray's arrangement, many high-ranking officials from the former Embers Organization who switched allegiance to Starfire immediately began ideological work on other Embers members.

"Now, the Embers Organization has become history. However, Ray of Starfire considers the preservation of the Resistance Army's living forces and still hopes to invite us to join.

At the same time, those who choose to join now will receive a small amount of military merit as compensation and reward for participating in this war."

With their persuasion, most people, after consideration, ultimately chose to join Starfire.

As a result, after absorbing more than half of the Embers members, the size of the Starfire Organization swelled once again, reaching almost twice that of the second-largest organization, Radiant Sun.

In the following days, friction between the two sides continued unabated.

Meanwhile, as the first famous Resistance Organization member to defect to the noble camp, Mirror Man was subject to a joint warrant issued by the Resistance Organization camp.

Ray, the Ninth Rank leader of the Starfire Organization, even publicly stated that once the whereabouts of Mirror Man are discovered, he will personally deal with the traitor himself.

Loran Kingdom, Patikalan Grand Theater.

As one of the continent's famous ancient opera houses, the Patikalan Grand Theater is a sacred place in the hearts of all Federation minstrels. Throughout the long river of history, numerous legendary operas that have gone down in history have made their first debuts here, dazzling the world.

Irena stepped into the sea of white roses, awakening the slumbering Princess. Alonso, clad in bright armor, beheaded the Catastrophe Dragon. Crow crossed the battlefield of death, scattering seeds of peace and hope for both sides of the fighting.

Many famous opera masters have performed on its stage, while even more unrecognized Federation minstrels see it as a lifetime goal, hoping one day to perform here.

Tonight, Federation opera master Sherman Shipley will take the stage here, performing the Gloria Empire's legendary opera "Theo Sis".

At this moment, Anvis, cloaked in his cape, is already seated in an ordinary box on the second floor, leisurely waiting with the Theatrical Mirror in hand for the final minutes before the show to pass.

After guiding Landon to activate that talisman, and with the disturbance to the Federation's Net of Destiny due to the conclusion of the Patikalan Agreement, his bottleneck at the rank of Prophet has finally started to loosen.

At the same time, certain that everything was progressing according to his plan, Anvis prepared to secretly return to the Gloria Empire.

Due to his intentional or unintentional guidance, the Doorway of Pupils was thoroughly crippled by the True Knowledge Society, and was likely to lie dormant for a long time. Those Prophets were too busy with their internal conflict, with no time to meddle in the Empire for at least a decade or so.

So far, the crisis facing his family has been almost halved.

With this buffer period, he can focus more on development and research, as well as on exploring the various high-value adventures that occurred in his previous life.

With the assistance of the Ancient Secret Scripture, Anvis believes that as long as he can find enough ancient beings, breaking through to Ninth Rank is just a matter of time.

On the return journey, he even has time to visit and observe the local customs of the Federation.

Although the war sweeping through the Federation has already begun, within the territories of the Federation's Three Kingdoms, peace still reigns.

The expressions of the residents show no tension, and people on the streets remain relaxed and leisurely.

Apart from the newspapers dedicating a section to the war front, reporting on battle conditions in various parts of the Federation daily, there is almost no feeling of the war's impact here.

As Anvis leisurely waits for the opera to start, the Royal Box on the top floor suddenly brightens with the radiance of a private Teleportation Array.

In a moment, the Councilman, dressed in a black robe, steps out of the Teleportation Array, taking a seat on the sofa in front of the one-way floor-to-ceiling window, casually pouring himself a glass of Magic Spring.

Sherman's opera talent is quite exceptional, even surpassing many other opera masters. Since his first performance in the Patikalan Grand Theater 176 years ago, the Councilman took note of this.

Thus, in his lengthy life, another standing appointment was added; whenever the Grand Theater featured performances by Sherman, the Councilman would often attend to appreciate.

While waiting for the opening, the Councilman was also fondling a Dark Gold key on his chest, its surface covered with Secret Patterns.

This is a control tool for the Mechanical Network, which can activate the backdoor he left in the Mechanical Network.

What no one knew was that the Councilman had actually told a small lie during the original Ninth Rank meeting.

In his plan, he did not actually need to increase the proliferation rate of the Mechanical Network to eighty percent but believed success was possible if it just exceeded sixty-five percent.

Because someone made the first move, the lifting of the Patikalan Agreement was significantly expedited. At the same time, the spread of the Mechanical Network was nearly halted due to the war.

However, relying on past foundations, the proliferation rate of the Mechanical Network has still reached about fifty percent.

Now, to prevent further accidents, he is also preparing to make his move in advance.
