Dozens of holes appeared throughout the entire cave. And outside of the cave were hundreds of Mermaid Mages flying up in the air and the other melee and range soldiers preparing for the order to attack.
Lu Ming stared in shock at the scene. When there were only a few minutes remaining until his wish would finally be fulfilled, when only 2 people remaining alive before he could finally have his peace, and when luck was finally on his side, a sudden reversal actually happened.
Looking closely at the people who suddenly arrived, Lu Ming immediately realized that these people were actually the soldiers of the Blue Fin Kingdom.
"What are they even doing here?"
Not only were they normal soldiers too, but they were actually the soldiers led by Commander Ava, the Blue Fin Kingdom's West Fortress Commander, or more commonly known as the Killer Whale. Those soldiers were also known for their relentless will, their powerful assaults, and great strength, specifically the normal soldiers are on par with 2 Star Magical Knights, the Mages are on par with 6 Star Mages, Generals are 8 Star level, and Commander Ava herself being a 2nd Galaxy Mage, which is on par with Lu Ming's cultivation.
"You...!" Lu Ming finally understood who had caused this to happen.
Standing at the side of Commander Ava was a young man that had caused the Black organization's secret operation to be revealed to the teachers of Silver Mage Academy, Leo Heart.
Lu Ming instantly became really curious as to why Leo was so relentless in his pursuit to destroy the Black organization's secret operation.
Although Lu Ming was clearly aware of the fact that every human, except for the members of the Black organization, hates the Black organization to the bone and treats the Black organization like a cancer of the Human race. That is still not enough reason for Leo to do such action, though. As a matter of fact, hating someone despite not being related to that person is not even a pure hatred, to begin with, rather calling it to dislike is more appropriate.
Obviously, Leo disliking the Black organization is also not enough reason for him to plot against the Black organization many times.
Just what exactly was Leo's reason for doing all of this.
Caused by the breath of the wind, Lu Ming unexpectedly saw a golden token shining brightly due to the sunlight's reflection pinned on the collar of Leo's clothes from his location.
Although the distance was quite far, it was still enough for Lu Ming to clearly see the golden token.
It was a golden token that Lu Ming was extremely familiar about.
The golden token with a symbol of a lion smiling.
The symbol that symbolizes the most powerful threat hiding in the Silver Kingdom.
A threat that controls everything in the dark.
The very dark that Lu Ming should not even feel afraid about.
Once upon a time, every assassin throughout the entire Silver Kingdom could be simply hired with a few silver coins or best gold coins, depending on the target, to investigate someone, to kidnap someone, to set up a plot, and of course, the very reason of assassins existence, to kill someone.
Assassins were like freelancers, they accept almost every job as long as the money was involved. They were even more dangerous than the bandits that roam around the entire Silver Kingdom who keeps on stealing from merchant caravans and the likes since the assassins hide inside the city and it's very hard to catch them.
However, all of those assassins suddenly vanished out of nowhere. They just suddenly disappeared like they don't even exist in the beginning at all.
Rumors said that the assassin relocated their base in Hundred Hills, a territory at the southeast of Heart city.
Lu Ming had tried to venture over that place in hopes of recruiting those assassins, even if he could only recruit a few assassins it would still be worth the trip. However, he failed due to the reason that a powerful organization is actually in control of all of those assassins.
At first, Lu Ming thought that it was the King's hidden force. A force that the King could use in case of desperate times like the attack of Blue Fin Kingdom. Unexpectedly, he soon discovered that this organization actually has the same purpose as him, to take over Silver Kingdom.
So, Lu Ming tried to fight with this organization. Unfortunately, he failed without even being able to fight back. It was like a child being beaten up helplessly by an adult.
This organization actually has a 4th Galaxy Mage, which by now, she is in the level of 7th Galaxy Mage.
"Mischievous Lion organization!" Lu Ming exclaimed in his mind.
However, why is a member of the Mischievous Lion organization, even someone with a golden token, and not to mention a young man, doing in here? Unless, of course...
"One of the Queen Lion's discipline!"
The only reason that can explain why Leo was relentless in his pursuit to destroy the Black organization's secret operation.
Even if Leo was indeed a member of the Mischievous Lion organization, they would still not be as relentless as Leo, especially since he's just a young man.
After those assassins became a member of the Mischievous Lion organization, Lu Ming soon discovered that the assassins actually no longer launch an assault all alone. Although assassins also do that even before becoming members of the Mischievous Lion organization, it wasn't almost all the time that they launch an assault in groups, since doing an assassination mission in groups split the profit.
Of course, there were still assassins who work alone despite becoming members of the Mischievous Lion organization, specifically those assassins with the golden token.
And only a few people hold such kind of golden token.
The 24 Elders of Mischievous Lion organization, the Queen Lion, and the 12 Zodiacs, the group that is lead by three people that has the golden token, specifically the discipline of the Queen Lion, the Smiling Lion, the Gemini Dagger, and the Claw of Cancer.
And based on all of those three people's descriptions, only one person fits with the age range of Leo, the Smiling Lion of the 12 Zodiacs.
"HAHAHAHAHA!" Lu Ming laughed really loudly, "So that's how it is!" He finally realized the reason why Leo was relentless in his pursuit to destroy the Black organization's secret operation.
Meanwhile, Commander Ava stared at the scene presented in front of her with full disgust evident on her face. As one of the powerful Mermaid of Blue Fin Kingdom, she was naturally fully aware of the Dark Apostles. The only difference is, in her Mermaid race they're more commonly called as the Snake Apostles.
And of course, just like the Snake Apostles who received a blessing from Serpent God, the Dark Apostles naturally also did those requirements, which basing on Commander Ava's vast knowledge and experience about the Gods, the requirements would always involve killing a lot of people to prove their loyalty.
And after completing those requirements, the Snake Apostles would also be able to use a bit of the Serpent God's Magic power and the ability to summon one of God Medusa's soldiers, the Serpents, which is in the Black organization they have the Fiends.
"I didn't expect to find a person who had received the Dark God's blessing in here!" Commander Ava said.
Hearing Commander Ava's words, Lu Ming shook his head helplessly as he replied, "I also didn't expect to meet the great Commander Ava of the Blue Fin Kingdom's West Fortress!"
"Being recognized by a person like you suddenly caused my joy to reach another higher level!" Commander Ava sarcastically said.
"I will accept that as a compliment, oh great Commander Ava!" Lu Ming bowed his head a bit.
"Tch!"
"Enough with the chit chat! I'm here to stop you in your conquest to have one of our heritage as your Beast Companion!" Commander Ava pointed her saber at Lu Ming, "If you don't want to become one of the victims of my Waterfall Sword, then stop such blasphemy!"
"Your heritage?" Lu Ming dubiously replied. He actually didn't know that this Leviathan sealed in the Floating Mountain is a heritage of the Blue Fin Kingdom. Though, even if he indeed knows about that, he would still not give a single care. He even dares to create a base in Silver Kingdom and go against their King, so why would he be afraid of the Blue Fin Kingdom? Not to mention, the members of Serpentine organization would definitely help him if he wants to do that.
"Didn't you pass the Floating Mountain to Silver Kingdom already? Then that only means you don't have anything related to this Leviathan anymore, even if it's indeed your heritage!" Lu Ming sneered.
"Silver Kingdom is nothing but a mere gatekeeper. We are still the real owners of the Floating Mountain!" Commander Ava revealed.
"Oh..." Lu Ming finally understood something, "Even if that is indeed the truth, I will still not stop with what I'm currently doing!"
"So face the wrath of the Blue Fin Kingdom!" Commander Ava exclaimed as she motioned for the start of the attack.
*Whooosh! *Whooosh! *Whooosh! *Whooosh!
Hundreds of different Elements of Assault Magic spells came raining down inside the cave, seemingly drowning Lu Ming and his puppets and Fiends.
*Boom! *Boom! *Boom! *Boom!
Because of Lu Ming's disadvantageous position, specifically, he is in the low ground and also his currently having a ceremony with the Leviathan, he could only use his puppets and Fiends to act as his shield. If he wants to launch a Magic spell of his own, it would almost take him twice the amount of time, which is obvious enough to drown him with twice the amount of his enemies' Magic spells.
"Charge, my men!" Commander Ava ordered the infantry troop to start their assault on the puppets and Fiends.
If Lu Ming can keep on using the puppets and Fiends to act as his shield, they would naturally keep on repeating the same attack over and over again without achieving anything, since he could just simply regenerate his puppets and keep on summoning Fiends.
