Simultaneous travel: I am a talented person in all the worlds

Chapter 548 Transfer of Command of the City Defense Army!

Just as Jingnan was rushing to restart energy supply, Charles was busy fighting for power, and Victor was personally leading his men to hold the medical zone.

Linglong Moyu led a group of people to the area where the Upper Civil District and the Dust Civil District meet.

The class oppression brought about by the caste system in the lighthouse might have been barely maintained at a fragile balance in the past by the false belief in the "Lord of Light and Shadow" and the oppressive laws.

But what if a sudden crisis like the one we are facing now, one that could shake the very foundation of the beacon?

This is the spot where the most intense conflict erupted!
as predicted.

When Linglong Moyu arrived with his people.

The place was already in complete chaos.

Darkness is the perfect breeding ground for chaos and violence.

A dozen or so upper-class citizens and lower-class citizens, who had lost control of their emotions, were wrestling together.

Curses, cries, and beatings filled the air.

And the crowd of onlookers around them is growing larger and larger.

The conflict is clearly escalating!
Linglong Moyu, with a cold expression, gave an order to the priest behind him:
"Don't shoot. Use a whip or a baton!"

"understand!"

The cleric squad leader immediately understood and waved for his men to put away their rifles.

Then, with a "whoosh," a telescopic baton was pulled out from his waist!
"Everyone! Follow me! In the name of the Lord of Light and Shadow, uphold the order of the Lighthouse!"

He took the lead, along with a dozen or so priests who were already seething with anger, and charged straight into the chaotic crowd!
I can't handle the Devouring Beasts on the ground.

Are you saying we can't deal with you troublemakers who dare to create chaos at this critical juncture?!
The squad leader of the priests was imposing, like a tiger among sheep.

They wielded batons and, without distinguishing between commoners and the upper class, would beat anyone they caught in a brutal beating!
The team members were not to be outdone, wielding their short whips with six strikes per second, creating afterimages and making crisp "crackling" sounds!
A chorus of wails erupted from the crowd!
Those ordinary people who originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos to vent their emotions instantly remembered the fear they had felt when they were dominated by these priests!
None of them dared to resist anymore, and they hurriedly cried out for their parents and retreated.

As for the upper class, as the beneficiaries of the existing rules of the beacon, they are the ones who most abide by and fear the rules. They immediately cowered the moment the priests entered.

They didn't bother arguing with those low-class mortals anymore and ran away as fast as they could.

After all, compared to the barefoot commoners who had nothing, these upper-class people who wore shoes still had some wealth.

And the lawyers and clergy who wield law enforcement power can really fine them until they are bankrupt!
In just a short while, the two groups of people who were originally mixed up and in a mess were quickly separated and clearly distinguished.

As for the unlucky guys who got beaten up, they all skillfully covered their heads and lay on the floor, trembling with fear.

A few hot-tempered individuals continued to hurl insults at each other, but after being whipped several times by the priests until their mouths were full of blood, they all became completely obedient.

The squad leader put away his baton, ran to Mo Yu, bowed, and reported back:
"Reporting to Lord Adam! As you instructed, the two sides involved in the conflict have been completely separated."

Linglong Moyu nodded, quite satisfied with the efficiency at hand.

Within the lighthouse, the hunters deal with the outside world, while the priests deal with the inside.

These clergymen were quite adept at "suppressing internal conflicts."

As for the claims of "violent law enforcement" and "disregard for human rights"?
Laugh to death.

Who is this person standing below, daring to accuse me?
Do you understand the true value of the "political-religious unity" of the Light and Shadow Society?

Linglong Moyu slowly stepped forward and looked around at everyone.

"The lighthouse is falling due to a malfunction in the energy system!"

"Now, I will temporarily take charge of all of you. Anyone with objections may raise them now. This is your acceptance now; any disobedience later will be punished severely according to wartime regulations!"

The crowd on both sides glanced at the twenty or so unfortunate men in the middle, whose skin was torn and blood was flowing all over the ground, and none of them dared to utter a sound.

After that, things became simple.

Linglong Moyu led several hundred people to the supplies distribution room in a grand procession.

Although two detachments of city defense troops are stationed here.

But when they saw the opposing team's lineup, especially Mo Yu, who was wearing a dark red priest's robe and walking at the very front, they were shocked.

Not only did they not dare to fire their guns to stop them, but after a brief, symbolic negotiation, they were temporarily recruited by Linglong Moyu.

As weapons were distributed to the people.

The civilians were then organized to carry out manual labor to transport ammunition boxes and heavy weapons from the depths of the warehouse.

"Zi-"

As preparations for war proceeded smoothly, Linglong Moyu's personal terminal on her wrist was forcibly activated.

Charles's grim face appeared on the screen. He suppressed his anger and demanded sharply, "Mo Yu! What are you doing?!"

Linglong Moyu spoke indifferently: "I discovered traces of a large gathering of Devouring Beasts below."

"At the lighthouse's current descent speed, if the energy system cannot be restarted in time, we will make contact with the ground in ten minutes at most. We must prepare in advance to defend the lighthouse and fight those monsters to the death!"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Charles looked at Fan Lu beside him with surprise and suspicion.

The moment Mo Yu spoke, Fan Lu began rapidly retrieving surveillance footage from outside the lighthouse. Soon, under the holographic projection on the terminal, a series of chilling images captured by high-altitude cameras appeared.

Tens of thousands of Devouring Beasts are frantically converging on the site where the lighthouse crashed from all directions of the ground.

They climbed the ruins of the skyscraper, like a black tide, densely packed, gazing up at the lighthouse, like a school of crocodiles waiting to be fed in a pond.

The humans on the lighthouse are their most desired food.

Charles felt a chill run down his spine as he watched this scene.

He stopped dwelling on Mo Yu's "presumptuous" act of gathering the crowd and distributing weapons without authorization, and instead asked:
"Are your defenses sufficient?"

Linglong Moyu remained calm and said indifferently, "If we cannot restart the energy system in time to allow the lighthouse to take off again..."

"Then, even if we include everyone inside the lighthouse, we absolutely cannot withstand the endless onslaught of the Mana ecosystem's Devouring Beasts!"

Charles remained silent.

A moment later, he waved his hand and brought up another holographic image.

The scene in the picture is in front of the medical room.

The Lightbringer Vatican and the Vinaya Master Sharif, along with over a hundred fully armed Vinaya priests, surrounded Victor's thirty city guards.

The two sides are locked in a fierce standoff.

Charles directly connected with Vatican City.

"……Yes, I understand."

After responding a few times, Vatican immediately projected Charles's communications onto the public screen.

“Charles… what do you want to do?!” Victor looked at the face he loathed, his face ashen, his tone terrifyingly gloomy.

Charles did not speak immediately, but instead showed him the terrifying scene of the ground, which resembled a black tide.

Victor's eyes narrowed, and he instantly realized the seriousness of the problem.

Charles then slowly spoke: "A large number of Devouring Beasts have gathered on the ground, and the Lighthouse is about to face an unprecedented crisis of destruction."

“Victor, I know your loyalty to the city lord. You can continue to guard this medical room.”

"However, for the sake of the lighthouse's survival and for the lives of all of us, please temporarily relinquish the supreme command of the city's defense forces!"

"Hand over command of the city's garrison?"

Victor narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Heh, you think I'll hand it over to you? If I remember correctly, your grade in military command class was just barely passing, not even excellent."

Charles was ridiculed in public, but he didn't get angry. He had never been interested in commanding the legion.

He waved to connect Mo Yu's communication, allowing Victor to see the situation inside the supplies distribution room.

"My coaching record is indeed not ideal. But what about his?"

Charles pointed to the figure in the picture and said with a smile, "I remember that Mo Yu got impeccable full marks in all military-related courses."

Victor fell silent, but the resistance in his eyes lessened somewhat.

Especially when he saw that the two teams of city defense troops who were supposed to be guarding the supply distribution room had been taken over by Mo Yu without his orders.

The current situation is extremely critical, and it is indeed necessary to unite all forces.

However, the city lord is critically ill in bed.

He dared not leave the medical room even for a moment, fearing that the tragedy of the city lord being seriously injured due to his negligence in protecting him would repeat itself.

"..."

After a moment of silence.

Victor opened his personal terminal and entered the city defense forces' exclusive communication channel:

"I am Victor. Attention all city defense soldiers! From this moment forward, I will temporarily transfer supreme command to Mo Yu! Everyone must obey his every order!"

"I am Mo Yu."

Almost the instant Victor finished speaking, Linglong Moyu's voice clearly appeared on the terminals of all the city defense soldiers, immediately issuing combat orders:

"Except for the city defense squads responsible for guarding the medical room and nursery, all other city defense units, immediately abandon your current missions and proceed to the elevator platform on the lower deck as quickly as possible!"

Power was seized in an instant.

Charles watched this scene and barely managed to suppress his laughter.

Today, almost all of the armed forces inside the Lighthouse are in the hands of the Light and Shadow Society!
Next, all he has to do is wait for Jingnan to restart the energy system, and then he can get her too!
So, the lighthouse was now in Charles's possession!
To avoid any unexpected events at the last minute.

Charles decided that he would personally lead a team to find Jingnan!

He understood his sister Jingnan's character and how she valued family.

He was absolutely confident that he could have Jingnan completely under his control.
