Chapter 766 Victory Day
Picking up the letter held by one of Lothur's men, Viktoria quickly read through it and realized what her husband wanted.
'So we should take these enemies to the Three Great Lakes Region?' She asked herself, understanding that Lothur planned to consume these people in his own way.
Aware that he could grow stronger this way, Viktoria didn't feel bad about it and immediately looked in the direction of her mother's family estate.
She told her men before she left. "Maintain the security perimeter of this area until Rebecca finishes what she's doing. After that, you will all need to join us in the fight."
Everyone agreed while Viktoria had already cut through the room and made her way to the most advanced outpost of the imperial forces nearby.
In the blink of an eye, she was next to the leading forces in the area, where another Sage like her was standing by.
"Elder Jansen, congratulations on reaching the 5th stage." Viktoria congratulated the man, knowing that Lothur had given him a Soul Bone, which had helped him raise his level.
The elder Jansen also knew about Viktoria from another letter from Lothur that had reached him and was not surprised to find another Sage in this area.
"That's nothing, miss. Your progress is much more significant than mine." He said in a good-natured tone while everyone in the area looked at Viktoria in admiration of the level she had reached.
She didn't mind the looks or the compliment and said. "You know what he wants, right?"
"Yes, he was unequivocal in his words. We should defeat the group of enemies, but without destroying them. Anyone above the level of Nascent Soul Transcendent must be brought to him alive."
Viktoria nodded. "Hmm, then let's act, Elder Jansen. I don't see any Sages in the group ahead of us, so I think we can finish this matter before the end of the next day."
If they agreed, it wouldn't be long before they started dealing with the enemies, hiding their auras as they searched the area.
Rebecca should be done in a couple of hours at the most. So it would be doubly good for them to start now so that they would have the data they needed to act together in another two hours or so.
When Rebecca woke up, they would have maximum power on their side, and it would be difficult for the opposing group to withstand them, even if there were Sages hiding on the other side!
...
Meanwhile, on the border of Asken, Elke and Annaliese finished absorbing the 3rd of the bones they had received from Lothur, ending their seclusion.
As in the other area, a member of the Jansen family was nearby and had already finished absorbing his Soul Bone, having advanced to level 22.
He had received Lothur's orders and was already investigating the enemy group coming from Asken, preparing for when Elke and Annaliese could join him in battle.
But while he was alone, this level 22 man was careful to cover his tracks and quietly investigate the powerful group coming from the south.
...
The situation was quite different on the westernmost border of Leopoldine, where the state's border with Utrary lay.
There were no envoys from the Ritter family or women from Lothur in this area. The only one in the area who had received help from the young Ritter was the eldest elder of the Jansen family, who had just absorbed her 2 Soul Bones and became a 1st 1st Catastrophe Sage.
With Lothur's orders and some of the strongest men in her family at her side, this woman didn't hesitate to begin her plans as soon as she left her state of meditation.
After a quick analysis of the enemy forces, she launched a surprise attack, completely destabilizing the enemy group coming from Utrary.
"My entire group! Attack! Attack now!" She gave her orders after her first move while using her spatial manipulation skills to throw the unconscious bodies of her targets into their camp.
She didn't need much power to take down the opponents of level 19, 20, and 21. She only needed a simple touch, and most of these people would pass out.
But while she was doing that, her men in the area soon began a major battle against those between levels 16 and 19, fighting to eliminate the weakest while only trying to take the strongest.
There were even level 20 Saints in their group, so they weren't at a disadvantage even though the enemy group was much larger.
With the help of a Sage, even with fewer people on their side, this group quickly gained the upper hand!
...
Four hours later...
After the actions for the good of Lothur began, the borders of the empire were aflame with the movements of the local forces against foreign enemies.
With the awakening of Annaliese, Elke, and Rebecca, Leopoldine's party had gained three new Sages, including two level 23 ones!
Annaliese and Elke had benefited so much from the bones Lothur had given them that they had surpassed his cultivation in every way!
By evolving so much and becoming 2nd Catastrophe Sages, the two women had teamed up with one of the Jansen family elders to defeat around 200 opponents between levels 19 and 21 easily!
Since there were no Sages on the opposing group's side in this battle, the group of three quickly defeated the enemy forces to the extent they had 2 hours ago. At that moment, two of them were carrying the unconscious bodies of 300 enemies to the Three Great Lakes Region, while another had gone west to help in the battle at the border with Utrary.
The same thing had happened at the border with Lenz. Before the day was out, two of Lothur's four women were near the border with Utrary, where Leopoldine's greatest losses had occurred that day.
With Elke and Rebecca side by side with the elder Jansen, the group quickly defeated their enemies in this area and began their retreat to where their leader was waiting for them.
The enemies of Leopoldine's three neighbors were confused by their results in today's battle, but they would soon realize the change that had taken place in this state and change their strategies.
In the meantime, more than 800 living enemies have fallen into Lothur's hands!
