Chapter 881 Chapter 881: Sea King
He had a vast intelligence network in Elzeira already. He was certain that the Royal Family wasn't going to enter this world so soon. This world wasn't suitable for them yet.
In fact, the Royal Family was still waiting and preparing for the war. According to his estimate, the invasion should've begun after a year at the earliest and maybe even two years later.
Due to the conflict in the city of Ember which was the weapon's hub for the Royal Family, and the recent chaos of the Royal City, it didn't make sense for them to reach out their hands so early.
"When did this happen?" he asked, wondering if it was after his recent actions in the Royal City. Was the emperor really so furious that he started the invasion early?
He had no way to find out since he directly came here after escaping from the Royal City.
"It has been over a week," Gabriel answered. "I don't think they are part of the Royal Army though. Although they are strong, they felt different from the Royal Army of Elzeira."
"How different?" Karyk asked.Yôur favorite stories at novelhall.com
"Firstly, their attire. It wasn't as refined as the attire of the Royal Army," Gabriel answered. He had lived with the Royal Family when they were training him to kill Karyk. There, he had come in contact with the Royal Family and learned more about them.
He knew the way Royal Knights spoke. He also knew what kind of attire they wore and so on.
"Although the Elzeirans that came out from the Central World Portal are different from Royal Knights, they are very strong. They also have that annoying immortality of the Royal Family."
"I was able to defeat a few of them, but I couldn't kill any. To protect Zena and the others, I could only abandon the Central World with them."
"Shadow Guard?" Gabriel asked, confused. This was another thing he heard for the first time.
"Oh, you don't know about them either. I thought you would."
"Are you flexing your knowledge now?" Gabriel frowned in response. "Unlike you, I wasn't there for half a year."
Karyk didn't argue with Gabriel. He simply explained the power structure in Elzeira. He explained the strength of the Shadow Guards that were much stronger than the Generals.
As he had seen their strength through his Undeads when he was leaving the Royal City, he understood that their reputation wasn't for nothing.
Those Shadow Guards were in an entirely different league than the Generals. It wasn't surprising that the Pirate King was able to rule over the sea if he had that kind of strength.
"I have a lot more information that might help us in the war. As I don't want to repeat the same information again and again, I'll tell everyone at the same time," Karyk stated as he wondered where the Lord of Upper Realm Aliac could be.
"Do you know where Aliac is?" he asked Gabriel.
"The last time I heard from him was when he was going to earth," Gabriel replied. "He should still be there if I'm not wrong. Instead of waiting for his return, we can head there and save some time."
"Is Earth safe for us to take Zena and the others?" Karyk asked.
"It should be. I heard that there are no portals connecting to Elzeira on earth yet," Gabriel explained. "Then again, that doesn't confirm anything. This place also didn't have any portals until a short time ago."
"If there was, I wouldn't have arrived here with them," he added, glancing at his sister and friends who were sitting around the Campfire.
