Chapter 365

Connor nodded and Evy looked at the other demons and said with her mama bear aura that was waking up : “How could you let him come tonight, he must be resting… Aren’t he your uncle and your husband ?”

Connor then said to her : “I was the one who insisted on coming, and they didn’t have the heart to refuse me anything. We want to help the humans as your rightful King helped to free us from our despotic King.”

Evy sighed helplessly and she told him : “Don’t you think you’ve done enough already ? With Xander you’re the one who united the organization with the rebellion, and now that you’re finally free after all this time, you should just take care of yourself and your family.”

She then added, smiling at him sadly : “But now I finally understand why Xander defended you so much, he said that you would never give up and that you would fight until peace between our races was established… And he wasn’t wrong. After your presumed death, your nephews with the help of your husband continued to fight for what you believed in and… At the very end of this conflict, you are still there, offering your help.”

She bowed her head and said sincerely to him : “It is truly an honor to meet you.”

She then said : “And don’t worry, whenever the opportunity arises, you can rest assured that I’ll be happy to meet with your black market representatives.”

Evy then looked at the last demon who was a little aside talking with Alan and Erik and she asked Liam curious: “And him, who is he ?”

Liam smiled at her and he said proudly : “He is the one I wanted to personally introduce you but I can understand that meeting Connor and the leaders of the rebellion was already a shock for you.”

And when he saw Evy raising an eyebrow he told her finally : “He is the rightful King of the demons and my husband, it’s Ian,Evy.”

Evy was once again speechless and she then said to him: “Damn, I need to sit down and have a drink… No, actually I need a bottle.”

Liam laughed and so did Solomon and the others which caught the attention of Ian who came over to introduce himself and just like Connor he said to Evy: “I’m really pleased to meet you, Liam always speaks highly of you.”

Evy shook his hand and thanked him and she couldn’t help but think that maybe she had made that joke to lighten the mood of everyone, but it was true that she wished she could have a drink because this evening was truly full of surprises.

Liam patted her on the shoulder and after that they all went to join Kevin, and Solomon immediately asked him: “Kevin, can you put me on the team that will be rescuing the Queen ?”

Kevin nodded and he told him: “Don’t worry, since I need Connor with me, I figured that Derek would feel better if you came along too.”

Solomon thanked him and Kerry saw that Derek wanted to intervene so he said to him: “Uncle Derek, let Kevin tell us his plan and then you can ask your questions.”

Kerry then looked at Kevin and he asked him: “Are we waiting for more people or can we start ?”

Kevin said to him : “Not everyone has arrived yet, but I can brief them later, we’ll attack Saturday night in the middle of their guard duty.

Connor I need you with me so I can free the Queen from her chains. Solomon picks three of your best men to go with us, men you’re used to fighting with, because if we run into Titans you’ll have to join forces to fight them, we’ll move forward two by two, and I’ll stay with Connor to protect him.”

He had said this while looking at Derek to see if he was okay with that and when he saw him nod, he smiled at him and so he continued : “Kerry, I need you to lead the frontal assault on the palace, you’re the one with the most experience to carry out this mission, Derek you’ll stay with him and Dilan and Nolan will assist you with their men.

This is the time to show me that you are really a genius strategist, make sure you keep them busy to distract them, don’t take unnecessary risks, we’ll join you as soon as we can.”

He pointed to Caleb and Kelan and he said to him: “Don’t hesitate to ask them for any information you need, I’m counting on you.”

Kerry nodded, he didn’t think Kevin would give him that kind of assignment but he was glad he gave him a chance to prove his worth.

And when Kevin saw that Kerry seemed satisfied and that he seemed determined to carry out the mission he had entrusted to him, he then continued reassured: “To give the frontal assault on the palace a better chance of breaking through their defense, we will attack the palace at four different strategic locations with spells.”

Kevin showed them a map and he circled the 4 locations that Caleb and Kelan had chosen when he had explained his plan to them, and then he said each time showing them a new location : “Ian, you will take care of this one, Liam will stay close to you to protect you, Alan you will team up with Erik and take care of this one.

Ashton and Yelena, you will show to everyone your special attack and you will attack here, Iris will personally take care of your protection, and the last place will be for Colin and Mykael, this is also the closest strategic point to the frontal assault and so they will both be able to intervene if they see you in trouble.

To be sure you will all be safe, each of the four groups I mentioned above will also be supported by fighters from the organization who will be chosen by Caleb and Liam.”
