The Black Market - Chapter 190
“How was it, Saint Commander Faramis?” Trevor asked while glancing at the Avran middle-aged man in front of him.
Faramis smiled and answered. “Just as I had expected, Alliance Head. Omri is an idiotic Avran man and he did not even believe in his instincts. I sent him a location and he will be there in less than two hour’s time with his soldiers.
We will prepare a net to catch them in one fell swoop! That guy might be strong, but we have three Saint-Class level experts on our side. Let’s just hope that there won’t be too many casualties following this battle.”
Trevor relaxed a bit after hearing Faramis’ confident tone, but when the commander spoke the last sentence, Trevor could only sigh. They couldn’t control the outcome of the battle, especially with the other party’s strength. He didn’t know how many would die among their people, but everything was necessary for the safety of their planet.
“Just make sure that everything will be as what you have mentioned, Saint Commander. And I hope that you can reduce the casualty rate as much as possible. You know that Cale doesn’t want to see his people dying.” Trevor patted Faramis’ shoulder before he left to send orders to his men.
Faramis saluted at Trevor’s receding figure and took note of his words in his heart. “His Lordship Cale is truly someone who values his people. Following such a man is my good fortune.” He muttered to himself before he left to gather his men.
Time must not be wasted, and they only had less than two hour’s time to prepare their plan.
Faramis’ plan was to overwhelm Saint Commander Omri’s army with their Earth Alliance’s number. With that kind of surprise attack, even a well-trained army would collapse. Furthermore, they had three Saint-Class level experts on their side.

Inside an airborne battleship, Saint Commander Omri stood at the command center with a bewildered expression on his ferocious face.
“Did you get the coordinates right? Are you sure that this is the place?” Saint Commander Omri asked the navigator who had a perplexed look as he surveyed the surrounding area. He then double-checked the coordinates provided by Faramis. Moments later, he frowned. “Saint Commander Omri, it appears that we were given the wrong coordinates.”
Saint Commander Omri’s eyes turned bloodshot and veins started popping on his face. His muscles spasmed as he clenched his fists in fury.
“That damned Faramis dared to play a prank on me! I’ll kill that bastard!” Omri said through gritted teeth.
“Bang!” A violent explosion suddenly rang out and it was followed by a series of warnings from the battleship’s system.
All of the Avran soldiers inside the battleship cried out in surprise. They felt a strong force for a brief second that caused their battleship to receive heavy damage.
“Warning! More than 90% of the battleship’s system has lost its functions!”
“Warning! The electromagnetic disturbance caused the weapon system to malfunction! 96% of the weapon system is damaged!”
“What the hell is going on?! Are we discovered by humans?!” Saint Commander Omri grabbed an Avran soldier by the collar and he asked him with a furious look.
“Sa-Saint Commander Omri, we have been ambushed. I assume that Saint Commander Faramis have betrayed us and is already in cahoots with the humans in this world.” The soldier responded in a slightly shaking voice. He could not believe that someone actually dared to betray the Demon Immortal.
Omri frowned and threw the soldier with one hand. He then grabbed a spherical metal from his pocket and clenched it tightly with one hand.
Following his actions, a super-advanced bionic armor attached itself to Omri’s body making him look like a futuristic cyborg. All of this happened in less than five seconds!
“Faramis, I admire your bravery for having the guts to betray Lord Azazel, but today you will breathe your last!” Omri jumped out of the battle ship with a huge two-handed sword made from Z-Steel in his hands.
More than 90% of the battleship’s system was disabled after that electromagnetic disturbance making it incapable of putting up a fight. Without its weapon system, the battleship’s power was instantly reduced to zero.
In his rage, Omri immediately went out of the battleship to search for Faramis. He really wanted to skin the bastard alive for making him look like a fool.
“Old bastard Faramis, get out and fight with me!” Saint Commander Omri snarled angrily as he hovered in midair.
“Hahaha! Omri you old fool, you’re still as idiotic as before! Hahah!” A loud sneer full of contempt and disdain echoed loudly.
Omri glanced towards his left and saw the familiar face of Faramis. The latter’s face was full of ridicule as he stared back at the former. The two locked eyes sending invisible sparks between their sights.
Omri roared and tightly grabbed his two-handed sword. He flew towards Faramis and swung his giant sword with all his strength. The slash was filled with rage towards Faramis.
Faramis smiled, but he didn’t dare behave carelessly against Omri. He was weaker than the other party and any slight mistake would cost him his life.
Faramis took out an enhanced Energy Pistol behind him. This was a new creation from the dwarven blacksmiths. Its power was comparable to that of an Energy Rifle. Although it can’t significantly damage a Saint-Class level expert, an attack on his/her eyes would at least damage their sights.
“Doov! Doov! Doov!” All three Energy Bullets were aimed at Omri’s eyes.
Omri sensed the threat and he used his thick arms to cover his face from the attack.
The other party was incensed and he immediately proceeded to take action without holding back his strength. Each of his attacks carried a strong amount of force that could incapacitate a low-level Saint-Class level expert! But with Faramis’ speed, Omri could not even touch his shadow.
Meanwhile, on the other part of the battlefield, humanity’s soldiers were now engaged in a crossfire with the Avran soldiers.
Humanity’s weapons of war underwent a drastic change under the leadership of the Earth Alliance. Powerful advanced weaponry was introduced to the military which greatly boosted the soldiers’ combat power. Aside from that, a lot of fighter robots can also be seen on humanity’s side. Leading them was Saint Commander Faramis’ daughter, Ailah.
