Zenith fell silent as he used Jake's eyes to watch the surroundings.
At the same time, Joan brought Ainsley and the others to other places far from the soldiers' gathering places.
"I can't bring you guys to the soldiers' camps because I don't know where they decided to stay, but we can find a small cave to rest in tonight."
The woman pointed at the crimson barrier above them and the already dark sky beyond the crimson barrier.
The moon was especially bright and round tonight, but because of the crimson barrier, the people on the island could only see a blood moon and not the usual one.
The entire white barren island was shrouded in crimson, and if not for these people still seeing some white rocks here and there...
They might have thought that the island was crimson and not white at all.
"Okay, great-grandma. I'll listen to you." Ainsley immediately agreed to Joan's proposal.
"We aren't the blood clan's official soldiers, anyway. We can only assist them from the rear or go to the frontline, but we won't join their team, right?"
Ainsley looked at Joan as they climbed the white mountain, trying to find a small cave for their temporary shelter.
"Well, that's right. Elders who aren't generals usually fight on their own, and people like me are also not included in the official troops."
At most, they were called the blood clan's trump card, which was why they could assist freely and could also retreat if they wanted to.
The blood clan never forced Joan to join their army and only needed her assistance.
At the same time, the two elders in charge of revival— Caroline and Lyod actually had to join the army and got protected at the rear.
However, after knowing that the two people were with Joan and the cub, the king let them go.
He believed that Wilhelm's ability alone was enough to protect the two elders.
Anyway, although the two elders were weak in their minds, for others, the two elders might not be that weak.
The group searched for a spacious cave among the white mountains full of chalk powder for half an hour before they finally found a suitable place to rest.
The group immediately entered the spacious cave and cleaned up the inside before taking out food from their spatial storage for dinner.
They didn't know the exact time because the crimson barrier definitely affected their electronic products to prevent enemies from using electronic products to steal information.
However, judging from the dark sky outside and the bright moon...it should be nighttime already.
"I don't know when the war will start, but I think the initiative will always be on us and not on the celestials."
Joan glanced at Jake casually before looking at Ainsley with a gentle smile.
Yes. Even if the celestials knew that the blood clan members must be on this island, their goal wasn't to attack just a small part of the blood clan members.
They wanted to find the hidden kingdom and completely eradicate the whole blood clan, including the mixed-blood ones who couldn't awaken their bloodline.
However, they still couldn't find the blood clan's hidden kingdom and could only monitor the transitional place with the crimson barrier protecting it.
Zenith heard Joan's words and somehow, he had a feeling that she was definitely talking about this to the celestials...
But she shouldn't know that he's listening through Jake's body, right??
Zenith's heart skipped a beat, and he was suddenly not confident whether no one realized something wrong with Jake or not.
How come Joan's words sounded like sarcasm to him?
Indeed. What Joan said was correct.
Even when they knew that the blood clan must be gathering on the island, they believed that these blood clan members should only be a small part of the whole race.
Even if they attacked now, what if this was just a distraction so that the other blood clan members could escape?
When they finally found the kingdom's coordination, the citizens had escaped, and they had to find another way to track down the new location.
Just tracking down the kingdom's location required a thousand years. Should they wait for another thousand years?
Impossible!
But just looking at this, people could see that the celestials weren't that capable.
If they had to spend a thousand years just to find the blood clan's kingdom...
Their race indeed became weaker from generation to generation, which was why the current queen was motivated to turn back the situation.
Zenith didn't make a move and silently listened to Joan's words. He knew the war would only start when the blood clan took the initiative.
But Zenith didn't know that the blood clan had been placing traps around the island and among the clouds above the island.
The sea was already occupied by the merfolk and their tamed sea beasts or monsters, while the sky was already surrounded by the beastmen's flying tribes.
The celestials were still ignorant, thinking that they had a lot of people and that if there were something wrong, they would immediately know.
Unfortunately, even Zenith didn't know that the blood clan came to this island to launch a surprise attack on the celestials, using the people on the island as a distraction.
The blood clan wasn't alone now, and they had allies!
Joan didn't bother to tell Ainsley about this even if she got the news from the elder in charge of communication through telepathy.
Anyway, the moment the king came to the island with the rest of their pure-blooded members, the war would immediately start.
It was only a matter of time before fresh blood started to dye this island red with the blood of the fallen celestials!
