Chapter 3708 Forlevia Acting Odd
The expressions on Phoenix’s and the others’ faces changed instantly. They felt shocked, confused, and puzzled, among other emotions, when they heard that.
“You want to leave the base with how things are right now, Evie?” Phoenix asked to confirm again. To her surprise, Forlevia nodded with determination. “That’s right. I’d rather not just sit around and wait for something to happen.”
It was clear that she had no intention of explaining herself further. In fact, she didn’t even give them a chance to ask her more questions before she left.
As the group watched her leave, they remained silent, stunned. It wasn’t until five or six minutes later that they returned to their senses.
“What do you think Evie is trying to do, Phoenix?” Azure Dragon asked first.
Phoenix continued to stay silent for a long while because even she didn’t know what to make of Forlevia’s decision.
Since Levi was injured, Forlevia was probably the most powerful fighter left on the whole base.
Her sudden departure would only make the anxious people on the base even more stressed out.
In fact, it could even cause a terrible chain reaction.
Phoenix’s worries weren’t unfounded because that was exactly what happened after the news about Forlevia’s departure spread.
The morale and spirit of the people on the base were damaged once more.
Some nasty rumors began to surface.
“What else can it be? She’s clearly running away because she has no hope that we can win against the tripartite alliance!”
“I hate to admit it, but that’s a very likely scenario. However, it’s not like I don’t understand it.”
“That’s true. Just Evie alone can’t change the outcome of this battle.”
“So she just ran away and left us here to die? Even though she’s Boss’ daughter, she didn’t inherit his unyielding determination at all.”
“Less talking, more thinking. Since it’s still uncertain if Boss will survive, we should think about what we should do now that the tripartite alliance’s attack is imminent.”
The crowd buzzed as they discussed the matter. People on the base were already worried about their fates. The news of Forlevia leaving only made things worse.
Many were planning to escape in secret.
Once the fear of battle was born, it spread scarily fast.
It was as though Forlevia’s departure was the last straw before the spirit of people on the base collapsed.
Of course, Gloria and the others learned of the news too.
She promptly sent powerful soldiers to seal off the areas around the base, hoping to capture Forlevia and deal yet another significant blow to the morale of the base’s staff.
However, it was as though Forlevia had vanished into thin air because none of the enemy soldiers saw her leave.
No one knew she had already slipped out of the encirclement with the help of the secret tunnel and found Digital God.
With his help, she found many spiritual ley lines and used them to power herself up.
Levi’s plan was well thought out. Since the tripartite alliance still hadn’t done anything, it meant they could wait at ease for the alliance’s ace in the hole.
It was a perfect opportunity for Forlevia to increase her power and reach greater heights.
While the decreasing morale of the soldiers was bad for the base’s strength, the only people that could truly sway the outcome of a battle were the most powerful ones.
Concurrently, Floyd was getting pretty suspicious. Shouldn’t Evie be defending the base when the tripartite alliance is just right outside our doorsteps and Master is still hurt? It’s not an exaggeration to say the base is in extreme danger, yet Evie, the strongest fighter in the base and the only one who could put the people’s worries to rest, just left? Doesn’t she know her departure at this time may lead to the destruction of the base?
It confounded him.
He tried to figure out the true reason why Forlevia left by asking other people, but he soon realized even Zoey had no idea what her daughter was doing.
Why did Evie suddenly just leave right after thinking about doing it? I didn’t even get a chance to stop her. Zoey’s already haggard face looked even more worried.
She tried questioning Phoenix and the others about it, but all the answers she got were the same.
That befuddled her even more.
