Gacha Sovereign

When they heard Anna, they forgot about her since Alex had dealt with her.

Anna could think like this because she really considered Letizia as Alex's slave or subordinate, and it was his right to order her around. It was different for Alex and Charya,, they thought that enslavement was her punishment, so they never thought about that.

Fortunately, that was what they needed at the moment.

"That's it," Alex said excitedly.

"But even if they bring the same number as us, we are still nowhere near their hundred thousand," Charya said.

Alex only shook his head. He never considered a hundred thousand soldiers because he knew they would have much more than that number as well as a few Martial Kings. Alex needed their help because it was hard for his spirits to fight more than a hundred thousand soldiers after fighting Martial Kings. So, Alex wanted to have a big number too. It might sound rude, but Alex needed them as cannon fodder.

With a number like that, Alex could play a mind game against them, so they could massacre them faster and easier.

"Anna, send a message to her. I will try to find a reward if she succeeds, but for now, don't tell her about the reward."

"Understood. I will ask Noah to send it to her." Anna nodded as she came inside the house to prepare the message.

"Elder Charya, I want you to inform the sect master about this," Alex said. He thought about concealing it from other kingdoms at the moment. After all, if they knew and panicked because of it, they might do something that would ruin their entire plan.

Alex did not want them to mess with the plan and made that other kingdom know about this. If they canceled this plan and went back just like that, he would leave a future problem. Although he was planning to make a ruckus there with his Golden Lightning Tribulation, he still did not know whether he could wipe them out or not. So, for the time being, he wanted to make sure all of those people would die in this continent so no one would be able to send a message back to their kingdom.

It was the war between him and that influence which brought the blood pill to this continent. The challenge for Alex would be how long he could keep his opponent in the dark. Of course, he was planning to kill the people who were involved in this, including the people from the Zhou Kingdom.

Charya nodded. She did not doubt Alex's information because he never gave any false information to them. And all of his information was crucial. So, she did not ask anything and left. She knew they needed to keep the Zhou Kingdom in the dark so they could ambush them.

Before she left, Alex added another thing, "They would at least have fifty thousand Martial Masters, thirty thousand Martial Grandmasters, and three thousand Martial Lords."

"What did you say?! Three thousand Martial Lords?" She was shocked beyond belief when she heard that. "Are you joking with me?"

Alex shook his head with a serious expression, telling her he was not joking. "It is the work of blood pills. So, I am going to use this chance to rout all of them to get rid of those cursed pills completely."

Charya did not talk anymore as she immediately left his house with a serious expression.

Alex then came inside and took Nelson's card out. "Nelson, I have confirmed it. The place where the Grand Tournament will be held is at Carageo City, and they stationed their soldiers in Rivulet Forest because the competition will only be held inside the city and Shawmar Forest."

"Understood. But, how do we fight the soldiers? I mean, we will be facing Martial Kings as well as those soldiers. I am not sure if we can handle a direct clash." Nelson said.

"I have a solution for that. I will trap them with my array."

"But, with that number, it is not possible… Wait, Young Master, don't tell me…" Nelson finally realized what Alex wanted.

"Yes. I am going to make many rank 5 barrier type arrays and then link them together with Chain Connection Array Technique. I will then connect all of those arrays into a single entity and erect a colossal barrier. As for the fuel, I will make a few Gathering Arrays and use my Spirit Stones to fuel them." Alex explained.

In fact, he already saw this technique. He remembered Maxwell's array in the lower world, where he made a barrier to protect the world tree. That giant array was a combination of many arrays, and he connected it to each other.

Back then, he used many materials as fuel because there was no Spirit Stone in the lower world. There was a record for that in Maxwell's book, but Alex could not learn it from that because the information in the book was too shallow for that technique.

And he finally understood this technique from the knowledge he got in his tribulation.

"But, Young Master…"

"No need to say it. I know it will cost me greatly. I have prepared a hundred million Spirit Stones to trap them for a few hours. I will exchange this hundred Spirit Stones for a few hours, so I want all of you to kill as many as possible and turn them into Gacha Tickets and EXP." Alex said with a strong tone.

He prepared to bleed for only a few hours. However, he had another mission for Nelson. "You are going to kill the people that remain in the Zhou Kingdom, right?"

"Yes."

"Make sure you grab their belongings too. And since almost all prominent families are involved in this, you need to grab all of their treasure and Spirit Stones. I am sure I can recover the cost from doing this." Alex explained.

"Understood. I will not leave a single Spirit Stone in their treasury."

After that, Alex took a breather to see if he missed something. Alex sat on a chair to remember the problem he had as he unconsciously murmured it. "I have three problems. First, I will kill the people from the Zhou Kingdom that participate in the tournament. The second problem would be those hundred thousand soldiers. It will be fine as long as I throw my money on it. And lastly, the people from Nilis Continent. They will be the hardest problem I need to tackle.

"That's right. I also need to make sure their number and the day they will take action. But, Nano is on his way toward the port, so I think I will sit back for a while. It would be great if they make a move after I win the tournament.

"That way, I can get the UR EXP cards and make another spirit advance to Martial King. In that case, I will need to prepare myself too."

He then stood up as he had decided he would practice his Array Mastery after reaching 8-Star Martial Lord in a few days. He also needed to send a letter to Letizia to let her know about this.

…

A few days later, in Rainbow Flower Sect, specifically inside Letizia's house, Letizia was cultivating peacefully at the moment.

Because of that incident where she became Alex's slave, she made self retrospection. She realized how immature she was back then.

After experiencing that setback, she slowly grew calmer and more mature than before. And one day, she suddenly experienced a blessing. Her Pure Ice Element finally awakened.

She knew this might be because of that setback. Even so, since she had become Alex's slave, she did not know whether to be grateful or not to him.

When she thought about that, she suddenly felt a presence outside on this calm night.

"Who is it?!" She shouted as she looked toward the window in her room.

And suddenly, a black raven slowly descended on her window. Its appearance was like a normal raven, but when she looked at the raven's eyes, she felt a pearl of profound wisdom in it. But, her focus was not on those eyes. Instead, it was on the letter that was attached to its back.

Letizia slowly approached the raven as she did not dare to lower guard down. After all, she did not know about this raven. Of course, Anna did not need to conceal the letter and made it small, like the normal way. After all, this raven itself was not an animal, but a spirit specialized in espionage.

When she arrived in front of the raven, she took the letter and opened it. She dropped the letter the moment she saw the content. The content of the letter was:

'In Grand Tournament, Zhou Kingdom and another influence from Nilis Continent will try to do something.

'They probably will massacre us in that place because we won't bring many disciples for the Grand Tournament.

'Even if we bring disciples, it won't exceed a thousand disciples. It is nowhere near their a hundred thousand soldiers as well as a few Martial Kings.

'I will deal with their Martial Kings. As for the soldiers... it might be impossible for me to beat those soldiers alone after dealing with their Martial Kings, so I want to ask you to convince the people from Rainbow Flower Sect to mobilize their disciple and help me in dealing with the rest of the soldiers.

'Heavenly Sword Sect might send ten thousand Martial Grandmasters together with twenty thousand Martial Masters. So, as long as I have killed their Martial Kings, we will be able to rout them with our combined force and my Martial Kings.

'Do note that the very first phase of this battle will be how long we can keep our enemies in the dark. That's why I suggest you send the disciples in a few waves, in case you can convince them. And because the soldiers are in Rivulet Forest, we need to station our force in the city a few kilometers away from Rivulet Forest, Thine City.

'I know this might be a little hard for you. But, the only one that could participate in this mission is only you and your Rainbow Flower Sect, since no influences trust Heavenly Sword Sect enough for this. And if possible, limit the people that know about this to prevent the information from going out and alarm the enemy. - Alex'

She was so shocked by the content. A letter from Alex alone was already surprising, but when she read about a few Martial Kings might attack them at the tournament. And it was only a month away, so she needed to move quickly.

She did not know why, but when Alex said 'he trusts her,' she could not help but feel happy inside. She looked at the raven in front of her. "Does this truly come from him?"

It was just her rambling since she had yet to confirm that it really came from him. Sadly, when she said that, the raven suddenly clapped its wings and nodded.

Suddenly the raven descended on the ground and scratched the floor. The raven was writing, 'Do you want to say something to Master?'

She was startled to see this. She could confirm that the raven could not speak. But it was intelligent enough to write.

She closed her eyes as she pondered what she wanted to say to him. Regrettably, she could not come up with a single word and shook her head. When Noah saw that, he nodded his head and flew away, leaving Letizia alone in the room.

Letizia contemplated for a while, thinking about the content of the letter. Alex did not order her since if he ordered her, she would not be able to reject it because of the 'Enslavement.' Instead, Alex only asked her to help him because he trusted her.

After a while, she took a deep breath and came out of her room. She decided to convince her mother and the others about this.
