Taking the Mafia to the Magic World-Novel

Chapter 446 Arrival of the Sovereigns

While Vicente's group was splitting up after leaving the previous tunnel, a group of soldiers not far from their location received an alert.

In the middle of the great Wolfrior Forest, a High-level Mage felt his communicator vibrate and quickly answered it while observing the group of soldiers hunting pentagrams nearby.

"This is Commander Ross." He said as he answered the call.

Then, a soldier's nervous voice came out of the communicator in Ross's hand, causing the man and a Mid-level Mage near him to change their expressions.

"This is Commander North speaking directly from Long Bay Correctional Facility. This is a request for backup! I repeat this is a request for backup!

A riot has just broken out in our unit. Inmates from the maximum security wing have escaped and are on the run!

Please come as soon as possible to join the chase!"

When he heard this, one of the escorts in Nova's group widened his eyes, sensing the big problem that had just arisen.

"What? How is that possible?" He exclaimed as his expression and tone of voice changed.

"We don't know for sure. But it seems that people have recently infiltrated our prison. Anyway, there's no time to waste. Gather your group and go after the criminals as soon as possible!"

"Okay!" Commander Ross turned off his communicator as he glared at his partner nearby.

"How did this happen?" The soldier asked.

Ross said. "I don't know. But we've got to move." He dialed the ID of the other High-level Mage in his group.

"Silas, we have a problem. We have to stop the trials of these four. Escapees from Long Bay Correctional Facility are on the loose nearby, and we're going to have to join the hunt."

"What?" Silas' voice sounded on Ross' communicator as the man expressed the same surprise as Ross had a moment ago.

"I'm not surprised about the details. I don't know either. But it's a fact that a riot has broken out at Long Bay Correctional Facility. We have to act."

"We can't stop the trials of these four. They're already close to finding their pentagrams. Besides, they wouldn't be any help in this hunt."

"So what do we do?" Ross asked.

Silas said. "We leave Kyle and Kane in the area to account for the results of those four. The rest of us will join the pursuit of the fugitives."

Kyle and Kane were the weakest Mid-level Mages in the group, so Ross didn't think their absence would greatly diminish their strength.

At the same time, they were strong enough to help the group of four soldiers hunting for pentagrams in the area and complete this part of the rank promotion test.

"Okay." Ross agreed before arranging with his partner for them to set off in the direction of Long Bay Correctional Facility.

...

Meanwhile, on the border between Scott Province and the area further west, a group of several men were on the backs of three large birds, flying toward the area of the Wolfrior Forest.

The men on the back of the first of these beasts were all Sovereigns, and one of them was none other than the one responsible for the shift change of the prison of this area days ago.

On the other two birds were high-ranking mages from the army, but also two people from outside the king's forces who were there because they had discovered the infiltration of Long Bay Correctional Facility.

They were Oscar Rose's grandfather and father, who were responsible for the Sovereign in charge of the shift at Long Bay Correctional Facility finding out about Vicente's infiltration.

After discovering that someone was posing as one of their relatives, the two joined the group of soldiers who had left the capital to join the reinforcements to deal with the infiltrators at that prison.

They were now just over an hour away from their destination when one of the soldiers there shouted loudly for everyone in the three birds to hear.

"What? An escape?" The man in charge of the group's communications shouted, drawing everyone's attention.

"Colonels, we're in trouble!" This High-level Mage shouted as he looked at the group of five 4th-stage men standing there. "Five inmates and three supposed soldiers have escaped from Long Bay Correctional Facility and are on the run.

We have some soldiers following in the footsteps of some of these escapees, but our men pursuing them are outnumbered. They split up as soon as they left the prison and are currently heading in different directions."

The Sovereigns in the group continued with ugly expressions on their faces, especially the man Vicente had talked to recently, who that young man had made a fool of.

Their leader, a Sky Sovereign, the highest level of a 4th stage magician, heard this and looked at the Earth Sovereign, the lowest level of a 4th stage magician. "I think you'd better make sure this is settled right here, Adams!"

"I'll do my best, Colonel White. I promise not to come back until I have the heads of the infiltrators." Adams said as the other Sovereigns looked at him in silence.

"Colonel White..." The soldier from before said.

"What is it?"

"We have the list of prison escapees. Among them is Jonah Keen, aka Snow Claw."

When those names were said, everyone on those three birds looked at that soldier while the sound of saliva being swallowed rang out.

Only the Sovereigns there didn't show such a reaction, but even they had worried looks after hearing such a thing.

Jonah was no ordinary Mage. He was at the absolute peak of the 3rd stage when he was arrested decades ago. He would become an Earth Sovereign if he had a chance. And if that happened, it might be impossible to arrest him again.

Not only that but considering the things that had happened since his arrest, it was very likely that Jonah would bring chaos to the province and even the kingdom!

If he escaped from this area, problems could arise in the coming weeks and months that could take away the king's sleep!

"Damn it! How did this happen?" Colonel White was the first to exclaim, sensing that this was much worse than they had thought.

They had come to prevent a riot and an escape, but it had already happened, and the worst prisoner had escaped!

Everyone felt terrible about this information, and the controllers of these birds began to make them fly faster and lower, feeling that they had to get to the prison as quickly as possible.

That would be the arrival of the Sovereigns and the beginning of the hunt for the escapees from Long Bay Correctional Facility!
