Chapter 485 Misinformation

After so many years, King Valliadis had overlooked why Shun had joined the Inquisitors.

Shun's objective was to destabilize the Noble Families' power. He intended to make them pay for their hubris!

This was exactly what was happening right now.

The King felt that the Noble Families were getting out of control. He slaughtered so many Noble Families to intimidate the remaining ones.

Shun was sure that no matter which Noble Family remained, they wouldn't dare to go against the King any time soon.

At the very least, until the King passes the throne to David Valliadis.

During this time, the King was going to further strengthen the Royal Family and somehow weaken the Noble Families.

However, Shun wasn't very interested in these matters. He was delighted to have finally taken his revenge.

'Nothing holds me back any longer,' Shun thought. It was time for him to execute the next phase of his plan.

Meanwhile, the situation was swiftly transforming in the Glerian Kingdom.

Azaroth traveled to the Red Crown Sect Palace to set up a seventh-grade array. It would be a killing array that would be concealed by another sixth-grade array.

Until before activation, the seventh-grade array won't consume any resources. But after activating it, the array would most likely suck all resources of the Red Crown Sect within a week!

But Helge still agreed to this deal. He wanted to have some sort of countermeasure in place in case a Seven Star Warrior attacked the Red Crown Sect.

In return, Azaroth received detailed information about the entire Royal Family. This information contained the likes, dislikes, factions, and even the secrets of the members of the Royal Family.

However, Azaroth frowned as he saw no mention of fate energy. He wondered 'I thought he would have some hidden tomes about the fate energy. It seems that it won't be easy to find the true abilities of the fate energy. I can only try the good hit and trial method.'

Azaroth let out a sigh and further thought 'I was too hopeful about it. I shouldn't be too disappointed, though. I managed to gain a great deal of the Royal Family's personal information. This will be useful soon enough.'

Azaroth handed the information about the Princes and the Princesses to Sargan. He couldn't hand over the King's information since his fate energy was too strong.

Sargan would definitely face grave danger if he held such a thing.

Azaroth made sure to inform Sargan not to target any members of the Royal Family directly. He had to use this information to build a strong network around them.

Sargan failed to understand why Azaroth didn't want to target the Royal Family, but he guessed that his master had his reasons.

Azaroth soon focused on setting up the seventh-grade array for the Red Crown Sect.

It was worth mentioning that the other sects had already begun to attack the administrators in the towns and cities near their location.

A team had already been set up which rewarded contribution points to each sect. The Red Crown Sect planned to join the party after the seventh-grade array had been set up.

Naturally, the Royal Family knew that the Red Crown Sect had accepted Tiana's invitation to the banquet. He sent envoys to the Red Crown Sect to know just where their allegiance rested.

Helge informed the envoy that he had no intention of joining the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect in their war against the Royal Family. He was on the side of the Royal Family.

He made sure to inform the envoy of all the proceedings that occurred during the banquet.

The King confirmed it through the information he received from his other spies and was assured that the Red Crown Sect was on his side.

He then focused his firepower on dealing with all the troublesome sects that were attacking the city supervisors. It was through these city supervisors that the King ruled over that respective city.

Taking out the city supervisor was a direct attack on the King!

The other sects loyal to the King made their move as well. It was worth noting that only 20% of the sects loyal to the King made their move.

Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect finally made their move as well. They targeted the nearby towns and cities and took control of them within three days.

When the King heard that the members of the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect were finally attacking, a smile bloomed over his aged face.

He was waiting for this opportunity!

He allowed them to attack even more cities. On the surface, it appeared as though the King didn't have enough firepower to deal with the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect's attacks. But in reality, the King was setting up a massive trap for them.

King Tryfon was leading Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect's members towards his army. Noah's battalion also joined this massive army and was heading for Andarcia City.

Noah had already informed Tiana of his current location. Tiana knew that a massive army was arriving and planned accordingly.

After looting the nearby cities and towns, she didn't persist in attacking any further. Instead, she gathered her members, and they were on their way to the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect.

The King was startled when he heard the news that the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect managed to avoid their trap.

And this didn't happen a single time. It happened multiple times after that.

The King was now sure that there was a traitor within the army who was informing the enemy of their movements.

The King ordered his Silver Hawk group to investigate the army deeply and find out if anyone had a connection with the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect or not.

And just two days later, he received a report that there was indeed a commander who had a connection with the Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect.

He found out that the commanding general of this army contacted Tiana just a year ago, and the two held an ambiguous relationship. He didn't have a lot of proof, but the King immediately believed that information.

The information from his Silver Hawk group had always been accurate. This time was going to be no different.

But in reality, the Silver Hawk group had been entirely fooled. And this was accomplished by Sargan!

Sargan knew that the King must have a wide spy network. Which meant he had a very loyal and reliable spy in each city at the least.

Thus, he chose a single city that was a little farther away from the capital and whose trade wasn't very impressive. He then started spreading a scandal about Tiana and the Commanding General of the army.

He also prepared some witnesses and evidence to make these rumors more believable.

A member of the Silver Hawk group heard this rumor and investigated it a bit before finding the evidence. And thus, the King was fooled.

The army's commanding general was immediately exiled due to cooperating with the enemy.

No matter how the commanding general tried to explain himself, the King turned a blind eye to it.

The Sacred Ice Aurora Valley Sect didn't attack anymore for the next week. This made the King even more confident that he had dealt with the enemy's spy.

The King had no idea that he had actually promoted the enemy's spy while exiling a loyal subordinate!
