Undying Warlord Chapter 261 Communication

Chapter 261 Communication

Since the Primordial Ascension had occurred, phones had stopped working. The internet shut down, and even the frequency of radios didn’t work properly anymore.
This was one of the biggest reasons for many humans to freak out. They wanted to reunite with their families, or at least hear that they were fine.
However, without the internet, no working phones, and no other way to contact someone, this was impossible.
The incapability to converse over a long distance since the advent of Primordial Ascension was also the reason why everyone looked at Dilan as if he was an Evil Sorcerer, who was about to cast some spells on them.
Mayor Clerens’ eyes were fixated on the device in Dilan’s hand, and many others were doing exactly the same.
Meanwhile, Dilan could only smile after seeing their reaction.
“It’s a Magic device. You may call it a phone, or a communication device, but it can only be connected to one device, and only the device I’m holding can call the other communication device. My group cannot even call me if something were to happen.
To put it simply, it’s a one-way communication device, and we’ve only been able to get our hands on a total of three of these communication magic devices so far.” He was honest with the leaders of the Blue Star camp.
While it was possible for him to call the others, they could not call him in case of an emergency. After all, it would need a fourth communication device to connect with the third one they had.
The distance the communication device covered was also only 1000 km. This may seem like a lot, but Dilan could cross a bigger distance in a single day. It was also impossible to communicate with someone while being in a different dimension such as the Pagoda of Time, and all the Gates.
Dilan was still talking to Bianne, whom he had given the other communication device. She was always in the base and was either cooking or doing other things that were related to her [Master Cook] occupation.
Bianne’s abilities were at the highest Tier and star ranking because she was always experimenting in the kitchen and trying to find ways to improve her abilities even further.
It made things much easier for Dilan to talk to her the moment an emergency occurred. Someone would always be eating, after all!
“Are you sure that it will be okay for all of them to leave our base? If too many leave, we might get attacked by the same Ascenders, you’ve been talking about…” Bianne suddenly said while Dilan’s hand that was holding the communication device was lowered. She sounded a bit worried and anxious.
Though he had not put her on speaker, everyone heard Bianne as he had lowered his hand a bit. Dilan ignored the gaze of the Blue Star camp’s three leaders but quickly pulled up his hand and held the communication device close to his ear.
“The Blood Legion is further in the north. They’re more than 700 kilometers away from our base. Why do you think they’ll attack us all of a sudden? It will take a while before they find out about our base, let alone the fact that I killed some of their members a few minutes ago.” Dilan was a little confused because Bianne sounded as if she was genuinely worried about their group’s safety.
“Then…is there another group of Evil Ascenders near us? Some scouts reported that they came across signs of fights, corpses of humans and monsters, some places that looked like temporary resting places for the night, and so on.” Bianne lowered her voice in an attempt to prevent anyone in the cafeteria from hearing what she had just said.
Meanwhile, Dilan, who was on the other side of the communication device, could only frown.
‘There are more people?’ He wondered, only to disregard this thought for the time being.
“But they didn’t attack anyone, and the scouts haven’t seen anyone yet, right? Nonetheless, increase the number of scouts and the watchguards around the base. Kathrine, Yvonne, and Sven should take charge of everything. If it’s necessary and someone dares to attack our base, allow Yvonne to let loose. There is no need to show any mercy.” Dilan said, his voice turning colder after he gave Bianne the first few orders.
After a moment of silence, Dilan gave Bianne another order. However, this time, it was a little bit different than it had been at the beginning.
“Tell only Williams, Oliver, Ailee, Silas, and Kuhn to come over. They’ll be enough.”
Dilan didn’t say anything else, and Bianne just nodded her head.
“Alright. Just take care of yourself… Silas and Kuhn are also not that proficient in fighting. I know that I don’t have to say that, but please don’t let them die.” Bianne was one of the few Originals, who was worried about the life of every single member of their group.
Contrary to how she had acted in the first few days after the Primordial Ascension, Bianne had become a much better human being over time.
、 Dilan was glad that he had not killed her, when she had behaved like a bitch.
“I will take care of myself and these greenhorns as well. They’re not supposed to eradicate the Blood Legion, either way. I want them to learn…but I guess you know that.
Either way, I will have to hang up now. I’m already receiving weird gazes. Bye.” After that, Dilan didn’t wait for Bianne to respond.
Instead, he hung up directly before storing the communication device in his storage ring once again.
Mayor Clerens and the others continued to look at him weirdly but nobody said anything.
“Will it be okay if I stay a day at your base? If not, I will just sleep outside, and wait for my people to arrive.” Dilan asked. His sky blue eyes had warmed up, but one could see a trace of concern in his eyes.
At least, that was what it looked like.
‘Looks like he also has problems with Evil Ascenders now. Well, maybe they’re just a small group of Ascenders, who are fighting for their survival, who knows.’ Sheriff Jennie thought as she gave him a quick once-over. Meanwhile, Dilan stood in a relaxed way but had not lowered his guard and could turn into a slaughterer in the blink of an eye.
Others could clearly feel that Dilan was not that worried about the well-being of his group. He trusted them, especially Yvonne, who seemed to be quite powerful, according to the way he spoke about her.
At the same time, it was also quite obvious that Dilan was both annoyed and somewhat hopeful about the group of Ascenders, who had been found by his scouts.
If they were Evil Ascenders, the Elite Combat group would have to fight them with the help of Yvonne, Kathrine, and so on. As long as they were not as powerful as Dilan they would survive, and they would learn a lot from the fight against other humans.
This was great. Nonetheless, the worst-possible scenarios were always what worried Dilan. What if the Ascenders were powerful and stronger than Yvonne? In that case, his entire group would be annihilated! This was bad and the bitter truth, to put it in extremely simple terms.
It was definitely not something Dilan wanted to see upon returning to the base.
‘If they die, I will whoop their asses, even if I have to go down to hell to hunt them down myself!’
