Chapter 213 Bad Planning



He didn't even bother draining the body of its aura and blood since she was just a 4th Circle Aura Knight. The amount of aura in her body was pitiful and useless compared to what he received from the massacre earlier.

Previously, he was a Middle Stage 8th Circle Aura Knight, but this pushed him a little closer to the Late Stage. While he was unsure exactly how long it took for people to move up in stages at a level so high, he didn't expect it to be very short.

If given a large enough war, then he would be jumping up levels like crazy. It would make him strong a lot quicker than any other aura knight given that he was willing to kill anyone for it.

After stepping over her body, he looked at the army in front of him. He could see through the illusion very clearly and saw a hundred men standing in the surroundings. His mouth moved and he whispered something, but no sound came out of his mouth.

A little bit of aura congregated at his mouth and then flew toward all 100 of those men. They all heard a whisper in their ear.

"Start moving with the array. You need to be at the camp of the Heart Alliance within 10 minutes."

Everyone's eyes frantically searched around for the origin of the sound. They were sure it was the Blood God but wanted to find him first. When they looked up, they found him. He was in the air, observing their actions.

"Blood God's Army! March!" The person in the lead commanded.

They were all on aura beasts, so they were really a lot faster than normal soldiers. Since it was just an array that they had to carry, it wasn't hard to do. Each one of them was carrying a flag which represented a part of the illusion.

With the array, they made the sharp turn to go to the camp. The minute they did, the entire camp was alerted. The guards at the gates were quickly alerted by the sudden appearance of the army but were not shocked. They were aware of the existence of the Blood God's army for a long time.

"Attack! The Blood God's army is coming toward us!" One of the guards shouted.

The entire army scrambled to assemble while some of the guards rushed to tell their commanders. Inside the commanders' tent, the Fire King and Fire Queen were having a discussion.

"So, will the army be able to win? If they do actually encounter the Blood God?" The Fire Queen asked.

"Maybe not. I am counting on them to lose, actually," The Fire King replied.

"Then why did we send them? Isn't that very dangerous? If the Death Bringer goes back to his side, then we will be next. How will we win?"

"There are two options to consider. One is that the Death Bringer was truly a traitor. If he was, then he will not be spared. But that would end in the Blood God's loss since he would lose to the both 8th Circle Aura Knights.

However, he would probably take down one of them with him and injure the other one. So it won't be a problem for us to take the remaining person. My real expectation is that the Death Bringer never betrayed the Blood God and was not a traitor this whole time."

"But.. but that would mean sure-fire victory for them. And they would be killing one of the 8th Circle Aura Knights too!" The Fire Queen was shocked and confused at the same time.

"Well, at least one of them should be dead by now though. The Bandit King isn't an easy person to kill. He has a treasure that is the equivalent of a 9th Circle Aura Knight self-destructing. He will be taking down at least one of them with him."

"And what if he doesn't?"

"Then he will harm them at the very least. We might not be able to take them down as we are, but we will with reinforcements," he said, which shocked her even more.I think you should take a look at

"Where will we get reinforcements from?"

"The Elementals have come to a stalemate with the Gloves with no one initiating an attack. So I am borrowing the help of an old friend - the Wind King."

As he said that, a guard burst into the tent.

"Respected Fire King. I deeply apologize for the intrusion, but the Blood Shrine Army is only a few minutes away from us. We need your presence," the guard said.

"We will be there. Leave us now and get the army ready," he said. As soon as the guard left, he slumped onto the chair.

"No... no this can't be happening. It shouldn't be possible," he muttered.

"Why? What is this army? Where is it coming from? Isn't the main force of the Blood Shrine still at their camp?" The Fire Queen saw her nervous husband and started to freak out as well.

"This can only be the army behind the mountain. But I was sure that it was just an illusion. The scouts didn't confirm it, but they didn't report any signs of a high aura level which meant no real generals.

But if they are attacking, they could be the real deal! I should have checked for myself to make sure it was them!"

"But if the army is here, then doesn't that mean the Death Bringer didn't betray us? Tell the army to come back using the one-way communication crystal. At least the Bandit King can make it back in time. If both he and the traitor can, then we will be able to fend them off easily," she said.

"Yes! That is brilliant. It also means that they should either be unharmed or have already dealt with the Blood God!"

"What about the Wind King? What happened to his support?"

"I only sent the communication for him today once the Bandit King was gone. The crystal delivered the message, I am sure of that, but for him to make a move it would take more time than what has elapsed. He won't be of any help during this battle."

"Let us go, then. We need to stave off the army till that time," the Fire Queen said while exiting the tent.

He nodded while taking out his crystal from his ring.

"This is the Fire King. The army of the Blood God is ambushing us. We need you and the Death Bringer back immediately. We will be able to deal with the Blood God later."

The message reached its recipient. The current holder of its corresponding crystal was Dmitri. He had looted all the generals, the Bandit King and the Spade Queen since the Blood God never bothered to.

Since he was holding on to the crystal, he got the message and knew what was going on. He smiled and shouted to the army.

"Hurry up! The army needs to be there in 40 minutes! Go forward at full speed and ambush the Heart Alliance from the back. Generals! Take care of the army. I will be going ahead first to aid the lord."
