Novel Full Chapter 727 The Nether Wars [Pt 8]
It became a swift victory for the Allied Nations after the Beast Folks were awakened.
They swept through the battlefield, displaying such power and speed that the tides were easily turned in the favour of their allies. Nether Beasts were eradicated by the Aether-based weapons that the Beas folks possessed, and they did not stop until they were all destroyed.
The Elves were fortunately rescued in the nick of time.
Many had been killed, and far more were injured. However, the moment the Beast folks arrived, they were saved.
The same happened in the North, and then the South—with Gerard leading the charge there personally.
One could only imagine the joy on Asa’s face when he saw his father. Their reunion, warm and charming, seeped through the despairing battlefield, and with the hope of victory growing, everyone celebrated.
With the Nether Beasts and the Corrupteds vanquished, they were done with the incursion of the Cult. However, there was a stagnant fear in the minds of everyone who had faced this crisis.
What would happen if even more monsters appeared?
As such, the Beast folks stationed in each nation remained on standby. The soldiers, after resting and pulling themselves together, also remained on high alert. The worst thing that could happen at this point would be a devastating ambush.
However, despite all of this caution, they also realized how little the chances were for such an occurrence. As a result, there were two more concerns on their mind—far more urgent than the initial one.
“We have yet to spot the leader of this coordinated assault.” Jane Ursula used her Magic to communicate with the allied nations.
Right in front of her, in the vast expanse, several screens popped up, revealing the faces of each leader she was referring to.
The Elf Queen
The Dwarven Chief
The Dragon King
The Beast King
The Human King
And finally she, the President of the Fairy Sanctuary.
Beruel and Ana were beside her while she made the call, and a look of concern was etched on her little face. Adjusting her glasses a little, she gave them all a serious expression.
“The leader has to be an Upper Seat in the Cult. We have yet to see anyone like that.” Jane was worried that as long as he remained unaccounted for, their problems were far from over.
And she was right!
“And what’s the second concern?” Gerard asked in an excited tone.
He had just woken up from his slumber, only to fight Nether Beasts and see his son become a warrior. When he arrived at the scene, he had seen Asa fighting so bravely—even though the boy was powerless.
This was a perfect day for him—both as a father and as a Beastfolk. Thus, he itched for even more action.
“The second problem has to do with the main team invading the Nether Cult. I have lost contact with them, so I can’t tell how they’re doing, but I suspect it’s not very good.”
“Really? Lack of communication shouldn’t be sufficient reason to think that, though.” Aurora added.
“I agree. I’m connected to Jared’s Soul due to our bond, and so far he doesn’t seem to be in any kind of mortal danger.”
“Then—”
“But Neron’s Magic suddenly stopped working, and the entire plan was almost thrown out of the window. This battle strategy that we developed is so intricate that it falls apart if even one side does something wrong. Fortunately, we pulled through at the last minute, Or else…” Jane heaved in relief.𝑶𝓋𝑙xt.𝕔𝔬𝔪
At this point, the faces of the other leaders were beginning to show just how dire the situation was.
“What do you think the problem is?” Z’ark asked in his deep tone.
“I’m not sure. Fortunately, the assault of the enemies—while being very precarious—was not as terrible as Jared had predicted. As a result, we were able to finish much faster than expected. I think we should all try to assist Jared and his team.”
“Wouldn’t that risk our stronghold? The one we’re protecting?”
“I get your point Dwarf Chief. We can leave enough capable individuals to defend our territories while we leave. It’s risky, sure. But my gut tells me something is going down at the headquarters. I believe, even if it’s just a few, we should send our best forces to assist Jared.”
“Hmmm… fair point. That is the enemy’s base, after all. Jared and his team might have trouble doing it alone.”
“Yes, and if they fail… all of this would have been for nothing.”
The whole plan hinged on the Nether Cult being totally wiped out. If Jared’s team failed, it would affect everyone terribly. As a result, their mission had to succeed.
“But still… all of this is due to Neron’s Magic not working as it should?”
“Yes. If something has happened to Neron, then I can guarantee that the team will be out of whack. Knowing Jared and Serah, they’ll want to rescue him. Things could get messy quickly.” Jane sighed.
“But… if Neron is in trouble, and team Jared won’t be sufficient to handle the mission, what is the guarantee that we can?”
“Well, there’s no guarantee. But we need to increase our chances.” Jane added stubbornly.
“May I make a suggestion?” An aged voice interrupted the back-and-forth.
After a brief moment of silence, Jane conceded. “Sure, King Albion.”
“Why not send an elite team to go after team Jared? Let it comprise our strongest warriors. It would be a waste and a shame if we sent a crowd, only for them to die.”
Once everyone heard this suggestion, they immediately appreciated it and thanked Albion for his wisdom. He had been silent throughout the meeting, but who would have thought that he had such smart words?
‘I would have brought that up eventually, but…’ Jane smiled.
“Alright. Let’s go with that instead. I’ll personally assemble the ones that will be going. By the way, King Albion, it’s a surprise that no Nether Beast has invaded your kingdom yet.”
“I am as surprised as you are. My Mages and Warriors have nothing to do here.” The king chuckled.
“Nevertheless, I’ll be sending some Beast folks your way… just in case.”
“That would be much appreciated. Thank you.”
Jane nodded with a smile. Caution was necessary in times like these. As such, they had to be on guard at all times.
As for the elite team she wanted to form, Jane had an idea of the members she wanted for it.
‘Whatever is going on, I’m gonna make sure we don’t lose this war!’
