Chapter 1919: Revenge Is a Bitch (4)

’So they have five Primordials, and they call them Monarchs?’ Zaila asked after Liora had revealed all she managed to gather from the guard.

’Yes. From how he spoke, it appears they are the topmost rank here.’

’Nice work, Liora. Now tell me, based on what he said, what cultivation rank would you place the others at?’ Pandora asked, already thinking ahead.

Since Monarchs are Primordials, what would the others’ cultivation bases be?

’I haven’t seen much, but the guards rank from demigods to gods. Maybe there are Immortals, but so far I haven’t seen them. So, since that is the case, the Masters will be Gods and Supremes. And Grandmasters will possibly be Supremes.

’Saints are for sure Celestials, and Sages will be Pseudo-Primordials. I am being taken to a Grandmaster’s house or maybe a place under the guardianship of a Grandmaster, so if we play our cards right, we can easily subdue whoever is in charge and then plan our moves.’

’That is good enough. Keep your head down and inform us the moment you can summon at least one of us over.’

The ladies sighed, knowing that five Primordials is a big number, but at least they have the warriors to counter them.

"The mission remains the same. Athena, Princess Dominique, Eliza, Big Sister Pandora and Lord Neveross will take care of the Primordials. The rest of us will have to deal with the rest.

"Of course, the majority of the Pseudo-Primordials will be handled by Elsa and her Soul Sentinels, so we must work hard to ensure every last one of them is engaged in battle at every point in time.

"Once the formations are up, we wouldn’t have to worry about them calling for reinforcements."

They nodded.

Some time later, Liora was led to a large house where dozens of guards stood at their posts... Clearly, this place is important, so they stood guard, making sure nothing came and went without their notice.

"I brought one for maid duties," the guard said, leading Liora inside.

She was led to a building where several maids were working. Once they arrived there, the guard removed the chains binding her hands. "It would take some days to know your way around here. Once you do, you will get your uniform."

"Thank you for everything, Mister."

The guard nodded and left. A few seconds later, some of the maids approached Liora, and after a few greetings, she was led inside.

"You must be tired from your trip here. For now, sleep. We will wake you up when it is time for dinner."

Liora nodded and sat on a wooden bed somewhere in the corner of the room. The maids lingered for a moment, then they were gone. Once they were gone, Liora reached into her shadow and spoke...

"Find out the total number of guards here. Afterwards, try to see if there are any formations around." Something jumped out of her shadow and vanished.

’I am in now, ladies. Once I am done counting the guards, I will inform you, so be sure to inform Lord Crimson Dagger’s team to start preparing.’

Liora lay on the bed and closed her eyes.

Sometime later, a wave of information entered her mind, causing a smile to appear on her face.

’So there is good news. There are only 45 guards. Fifteen are True Gods, the rest are Demigods and ten Immortals. There are also 10 Masters, five of whom are already at the Universal God stage. Then the Grandmaster is also present, and he is only a True Supreme.

’If we can painlessly take them out, perhaps Veera can turn them into undead, and then we can use them to spread our forces.’

’That will attract attention. After all, all undead carry necrotic Qi, which even Supremes can detect,’ Vexthra replied, revealing the loophole in Liora’s plan.

’Not if I am the one who awakens them and lets Athena purify them,’ Dominique, the Third Undead Princess, said, causing many to turn and face her.

’That is actually smart,’ Zaila remarked. ’I can try and enthrall them, but that will take time, and if we were to let Adina mesmerize them, that too would take too much time and energy, which we don’t have now.

’So, making them undead and then purifying them will surely make things much more efficient.’

’Then it is decided. Princess Dominique will make them her undead. But we have to send a team to carry out the silent killing and transportation of the bodies. We cannot send Supremes and above since a small slip-up, and the Primordials will sense their presence.

’Until we can position our forces, we must use only Gods and below to handle the minor issues.’

’I will go,’ Vari said, stepping forward. ’I am only a Demigod, so I fit the profile.’

’I will also go.’ Lani also stepped forward.

Some others, both from the harem and legions, stepped forward. However, before Vexthra could make a decision, Kent’s voice entered their heads, followed by the appearance of so many hooded figures.

’Hi, ladies. Since I can’t join you in this battle, I figured, why not send help? The assassins you are looking at now are my Shadow Fiends. They are the best assassins you can ever find, so use them however you want.

’And should, in case, you find yourselves in danger, don’t forget to let me know. I will be there in a heartbeat.’

Over 3,000 Shadow Fiends appeared in the Legion Tower, causing some of Kent’s wives who knew of their existence to widen their eyes.

When they met them, they were only about 200. Now, he has thousands.

Then again, these are about 70% of Kent’s total shadow fiends.

All the Shadow Fiends suddenly went down on their knees and bowed. "We are but mere killing instruments at your command, Lady Vexthra."

"Well, this changes everything," Pandora muttered, knowing that with the addition of the Shadow Fiends, things would be much easier, especially with the current mission at hand.

"All Shadow Fiends below the Supreme stage should step forward," Vexthra commanded, and about 500 Shadow Fiends stepped forward.

"Good. Lani, you and Vari will lead 100 of them to the stronghold and ensure that before morning comes, all the guards and the Grandmaster are dead and under our control.

"As for the maids, I will leave them to you, Adina. Put them under your spell for now. They are still have their role to play."
