Chapter 567: Refusing To Admit Defeat

"Deena should be leading the officials in the city to visit the Everything House now. After that, those officials should understand their situation and work hard for me! Fortunately, even though many of those officials have made mistakes, they are not unforgivable. Otherwise, even if the planetary fortress is short of manpower, I would not place them in any important position."
Watson was standing at the top of a palace in the planetary fortress. Beside him stood a beautiful, expressionless girl in a long black dress. The girl had a pair of pure white wings on her back. The girl said, "My Honorable Master, everything has happened as you wished! Just now, I captured dozens of elven assassins around the planetary fortress. Those assassins are platinum-tier elites, and their bodies contain the bloodlines of mythical creatures. According to my speculation, they should have used the power of the elven race chess pieces. Some managed to escape and are hiding in the city."
The girl was Nia. After Watson had dealt with the leader of the elves, Beta, he used the Dragon Palace Network to send the sea folks back to the royal city to pass the information to Nia.
"I'm sorry, Nia. I called you here when you were still in class at the Royal Academy." Watson turned around, and an apologetic expression appeared on his face. Nia hurriedly shook her head. "Master, don't say that. It's my honor to be able to work by my master's side. This is much more important than attending classes. After all, I won't be able to learn much at the Royal Academy anyway with my current strength. Besides, didn't you also summon many of your subordinates from the border?"
"I'm relieved to hear that. I knew that the elven assassins had infiltrated the planetary fortress. However, I didn't have the time to do anything about it as I had to deal with Beta! Now that the elven assassins have disappeared, I suspect that someone in the city has helped them. We've just built the planetary fortress; we shouldn't have any spies here. So, I want you to find this spy."
"What happens after I find him? Do you want to kill him?"
"No, bring him to me after you find him. I have my own plans for him."
Watson's eyes flashed as he spoke. Nia nodded and did noy ask any more questions. "I understand."
As soon as he finished speaking, Nia spread the angel wings on her back and turned into a streak of light, disappearing into the sky.
"Nia is stronger than me. She shouldn't have any problem doing that. I have a rough guess on who is protecting the elves. I hope I am wrong. Otherwise—"
At a hotel in the planetary fortress...
"Lady Delta, we are the only ones left among the assassins who sneaked into that city."
Delta looked at the few elves in front of her with an unsightly expression. When they set off, there were more than a hundred of them. At that moment, there were ten. Those elves were injured, and their faces had darkened. It was obvious that their combat strength was not at its peak.
"Human King, didn't you promise that you would have a way to let my compatriots enter the city safely? How did things turn out like this?"
Delta gritted her teeth and turned around to ask the indifferent-looking King Landhar III, who was standing beside her. While King Landhar III had discovered them while they were sneaking into the city, they had witnessed Watson's heaven-defying strength. They had no choice but to work with King Landhar III to deal with Watson.
After that, King Landhar III claimed that he could get them outside the city and send them out of the planetary fortress.
"If you have time to blame me, why don't you think about what to do now? I didn't expect Watson to ambush them outside the planetary fortress! Initially, I planned to take advantage of the recent recruitment of troops in the planetary fortress to disguise you as humans to get accepted in the selection and leave here as part of the army. Since that will not work, I will escort you out of the planetary fortress. As for what you will do after that, it's up to you."
When King Landhar III said that, Delta's expression darkened. She wanted to curse King Landhar III for being a scammer, but it seemed like there was no better way at the moment.
After watching Watson kill Beta, she understood how powerful the young man was. However, the other elves did not understand that.
Some elves snorted coldly after hearing what King Landhar III said. "Human King, you mean to say after that we got here with great difficulty, we have to leave with our tails between our legs? We did all this for nothing? Even if we can't kill Watson, we are now in a human city. At least we have to do something before we leave."
"Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"
"Indeed, we were ambushed outside the planetary fortress. The woman with angelic wings who ambushed us is very powerful. Even if we have the mythical creatures' power to help us, we are still no match for her! However, don't we have your help? As long as you can hide our tracks, we are not afraid of that woman. I wonder what agreement Lady Delta has made with you. If you can't help us escape, at least help us hide for a while. Can't you even do such a small thing?"
The elf who questioned King Landhar III was semi-transparent. There was no blood under his semi-transparent skin. Instead, it was filled with liquid. When he spoke, the skin on the surface of his body shook slightly, and bubbles could be seen rising from below.
That elf evolved after being exposed to the chess pieces' power. He was transformed into an ancient mythical creature, the water demon. He could turn his entire body into a colorless and tasteless liquid like water. He could blend into the surface of the water and kill without being seen. Similarly, he could use his body to create a clone that had half the ability of the original body. The original body and the clone could be exchanged. Even if his body was damaged, as long as there was still some bodily fluid left, he could be regenerated.
"Young Elf, of course, I can hide you for a longer period. You said that you wanted to do some things in the city before leaving. I wonder what you want to do in the city."
A cold light flashed in King Landhar III's eyes, but on the surface, he remained unmoved.
The corners of the young elf's mouth rose, and a vicious expression appeared on his face. "So many of us died outside the planetary fortress." If we don't complete our mission and return, His Majesty, the Elven King, will punish us. No matter what, we must let the humans in that city taste the same pain as us! I heard that there is a river that runs through the entire city. I'll use my power to plant my clone in that river. If the residents in the city drink the water, they will die in pain."
"The mythical creature that I evolved into is an ancient poisonous thorn. My body can transform into a poisonous vine. I can help poison the water."
"My ability is invisibility. I can use that to kill some of the higher-ups in the city discreetly..."
After the young elf, a few elf assassins spoke up excitedly. Water was the source of all life. As long as they poisoned the water in the city, the inhabitants of the planetary fortress would die when they drank it.
They had another purpose besides killing Watson, which was to investigate how the people of the planetary fortress were doing. Previously, the people of the planetary fortress had been poisoned by the Elven King with the Marionette Poison. After they entered the city, they learned that the residents had been cured of the poison. That proved that there were people in the city who were good at detoxification. So, the elves could not just poison them; they had to make sure that those people were killed.
