The Handling of Harbin Island

Chapter 214 The Handling of Harbin Island

The explosion on Erbin Island, like a stone thrown into a pond of fate, is creating ripples that are rapidly spreading and affecting the entire Boers Islands war situation.

Sorge's anger was forcibly suppressed.

As a level three wizard, he was powerful, but not a mindless brute. He always put Lord Hick's orders first!

The unusual energy signals emanating from the Erbin Island mine were strong and strange, far exceeding the scope of ordinary mining accidents, which aroused his great vigilance.

The Bora Stone itself is very stable, so does such a large-scale explosion mean that an unknown change has occurred deep within the ore vein?

It might even be related to the "Ship of Sighs" or other hidden forces in the archipelago?

He glanced at the gray mist that had temporarily retreated but was still lurking in the distance, and then at the yellowish-brown light shield on Nikon Island that was being rapidly repaired.

Continuing the offensive still offers a high chance of victory, but if a crucial resource point on Erbin Island is destroyed or something goes wrong, causing Lord Hick's plan to fail, he cannot bear the responsibility.

"Gregor."

Sorge spoke in a cold voice.

"This is your responsibility. Maintain control of Nikon Island, but postpone the general offensive. Monitor the movements of the 'Ship of Sighs.' If they dare to approach again, kill them without mercy!"

"clear."

Gregor gave a brief response, indicating that he understood Sorge's decision was based on overall prudence.

Sorge then looked at Dila, who had just returned with a message: "Dila, you're coming back to Erbin Island with me immediately! I need to see for myself what exactly happened there!"

"Yes, sir!" Dila immediately replied.

Without further hesitation, Sorge transformed into a streak of dark red light and sped off towards Erbin Island.

Dira quickly assigned his deputy to take command of the fleet, and then followed suit.

The Eternal Night Dynasty's thunderous attack on Nikon Island was temporarily halted due to this unexpected turn of events.

On the flagship, Gregor, expressionless, directed the fleet to readjust its formation and maintain a deterrent, but the offensive clearly weakened.

The pressure on Nikon Island has dropped sharply.

Elder Mog of the Nikon Island defense line watched the changes in the Eternal Night Dynasty fleet, especially the sudden departure of that powerful and suffocating aura of a level three wizard. He let out a long sigh of relief, but his brows furrowed even more.

He did not believe this was the mercy of the Eternal Night Dynasty, and he had vaguely sensed the explosion and tremors from the direction of Erbin Island.

"Elder, they... seem to have retired?"

Haske returned covered in blood and exhausted, staring incredulously at the enemy fleet that had turned to the defensive on the sea.

"It's not a retreat, it's a postponement."

Elder Mog said in a deep voice.

"Something big has happened on Erbin Island, attracting the attention of that level-three wizard. This is a chance for us to catch our breath, but it's also a harbinger of an even greater crisis."

He turned to Leona and the other leaders: "Hurry! Repair the formations, heal the wounded, and reinforce the fortifications!"

Haske, send your best spies to find out exactly what happened on Harbin Island!

I have a feeling that something else might be more important than the battle we're currently fighting!

Nikon Island has temporarily escaped the crisis of destruction, but the unease in the air has become even stronger.

Everyone knows that peace is short-lived, and the next attack will be even more devastating.

The changes on Erbin Island, like a new dark cloud, loomed over everyone's hearts.

Deep inside the mine on Erbin Island, Aji carried the unconscious Kahn on his back, crawling with difficulty through the dark, narrow, and dangerous collapsed ruins.

He remembered the approximate direction of the old ventilation shaft that Uncle Kahn had mentioned when he was drunk.

Sweat, blood, and dust mingled together, blurring his vision. Every breath carried a heavy smell of dust and the eerie aftershocks of energy, and his lungs burned with pain.

Several times, he narrowly escaped being hit by loose rocks or falling into bottomless crevice.

But he gritted his teeth and, relying on his strong willpower and his promise to Kahn, moved forward little by little.

He didn't know what had happened outside, or how the Eternal Night Dynasty would react; he had only one thought:

Get out, survive, and spread the message!

Finally, when he had almost exhausted his last bit of strength, he touched a rock wall with obvious signs of human excavation, and a faint breeze carrying the smell of the sea blew in from the crevice!

It's a ventilation opening!

Although it is mostly blocked by collapsed rocks, it does exist!

A spark of hope was rekindled. Aji put down Kahn and, with his already bloodied and mangled hands, began to dig frantically.

Sorg and Dila flew at extremely high speeds between Broken Spear Island and Erbin Island.

The closer you get to Erbin Island, the more you can feel that lingering, unsettling energy fluctuation.

"Such a chilling and violent power—this is not like an ordinary Bora Stone explosion."

Sorge sensed the residual energy in the air, his expression grave.

Dira was even more shocked. He was in charge of the island affairs and knew the properties of the Bora Stone better. Could it be that the island really had the legendary high-concentration crystal of Bora Stone—the "Dark Blood Core"?

If that's the case, this mining accident is by no means an accident, but could be a disaster, or it could be a huge opportunity!

Finding and controlling the "Dark Blood Core" is of great significance to Lord Heik's plans!

The two sped towards Erbin Island, where the billowing smoke and chaotic scene were already clearly visible.

A new storm is brewing, centered on Harbin Island.

This storm will ignite the spark that Kahn gave his life for, the secret that Aggie risked his life to carry, and the fate of Nikon Island.

The ambitions of the Eternal Night Dynasty became even more intertwined.

Zorge and Dila hovered above the Erbin Island mining area, looking down at the chaotic scene below.

The earth cracked, the mine entrance collapsed, and thick smoke, carrying a pungent, lingering smell of energy, continued to billow out.

The surviving overseers and guards scurried around like headless flies, trying to maintain order but with little success.

"waste!"

Sorge made a cold comment, it was unclear whether he was referring to the mine disaster itself or to his panicked subordinates.

His powerful mental energy, like invisible tentacles, swept rapidly across the entire mining area, sensing the residual energy and its flow.

"My lord, this energy—is extremely pure, but also extremely violent, with a strong annihilation characteristic."

Dira's face turned pale. His senses were not as sharp as Sorge's, but he could still clearly feel the chilling aura that sent shivers down his spine.

"It does indeed resemble the characteristics of the Dark Blood Core described in ancient texts! But logically, this kind of core is extremely stable and requires specific conditions to—"

He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear:

Ordinary mining operations could never trigger an explosion of this magnitude.

Sorge did not answer; his attention was focused on a point deep inside the mine.

The residual energy there was the most concentrated, and—he sensed a faint life fluctuation!

"There are survivors down below."

A sharp glint flashed in Sorge's eyes.

"Dila, have your men clear the entrance and organize a rescue team, but keep it strictly controlled; only rescue our people. As for those miners—"

He paused, his tone cold.

"Leave any valuable clues you can find; otherwise, clean it up to avoid trouble."

He suspected that the explosion was not an accident, but rather a deliberate act, and might even be related to resistance forces.

Any surviving miner could be either an informant or a participant.

"Yes!" Dila immediately accepted the order, landed, and began to give commands.

Sorge remained suspended in the air, carefully analyzing the remaining energy.

He tried to trace the source of the explosion and assess the damage to the mine.

If the "Dark Blood Core" was indeed detonated, then the mine is likely destroyed, and at least the core area will be unminable in the short term.

This is a heavy blow to the Eternal Night Dynasty's plans.

On the other hand, if he can find and control the remaining "Dark Blood Core" energy, or uncover the truth behind the explosion—

.

Perhaps this could make amends for past mistakes and even provide Lord Hick with a new research direction.

Deep inside the mine on Erbin Island, Aji's fingers were worn raw and bleeding, but he finally managed to dig a gap big enough for one person to barely pass through!

A cold wind carrying the salty and fishy smell rushed in, instantly invigorating him.

He carefully pushed the unconscious Kahn out first, and then struggled to climb out himself.

Outside is a steep cliff on the side of Erbin Island, with surging waves dozens of meters below.

The vent is hidden behind a thick vine, making it extremely well concealed.

Aji, without even taking a breath, immediately checked on Kahn's condition.

The old man's breathing became even weaker, and he needed to receive treatment as soon as possible.

He looked around and determined the direction.

Located on the back side of the island, far from the main docks and mine entrances, this area is still patrolled by the Eternal Night Dynasty.

We must escape while the chaos continues!

Aji carried Kahn on his back and, using the rocks and bushes for cover, made his way along the steep cliff edge toward a small bay known only to old fishermen, a place used to shelter from storms.

He hoped to find a small boat, or at least a place to hide temporarily.

Every step was extremely difficult; Kahn on his back was getting heavier and heavier, and his own physical strength was nearing its limit.

But the will to survive and the mission entrusted to him by Kahn sustained him onward.

He had no idea that the secret he carried, and the fact that he and his two “insignificant” survivors, had already attracted the attention of some powerful being.
