Chapter 354 Proceed with the Plans.

“Heh. Why don’t we advance with our plans then?”

Herms questioned with a playful smile on his face.

However, before they could continue, Marcus questioned.

“Do we have any information about why General Ember left?”

The General who reported about this shook his head,

“We do not. Actually, General Ember’s resignation was very random and unpredictable, our spies are unable to come up with any decent reasons that made her do something like this.”

“…”

Marcus turned silent and started thinking.

For some reason, General Ember resigning just when they are so close to initiating their plans… He felt that something was off about this.

“Actually, there is another thing I received from my Spy’s report.”

“What is it?” Marcus questioned.

“Do you remember those two Assistant Generals?”

“The ones who killed many of our soldiers in the previous battle?”

This time, Herms was the one who questioned.

“Yes, them. According to the reports, the two of them left the same day General Ember left.”

“Huh? That’s strange. Were they Ember’s subordinates?”

Herms questioned.

The General, however, shook his head,

“We don’t have any information about them. The only thing we know about them is their name, Nux, and Thyra, but then again, since the two of them always covered their face with a mask, these names could be fakes as well.”

Herms nodded.

“Tsk. Those bastards are blessed by Lady Luck,

They have killed quite a lot of my subordinates in the previous battle, if I had gotten my hands on them in the next battle, I would have made them regret ever being born into this world.”

Fredgelord snorted as he clenched his fist in annoyance.

“What about their faces, have your spies mentioned anything about that?”

Fredglelord questioned.

“Well, since they always had a mask on their face, we only know about their eye color, the woman named Thyra has icy blue colored eyes, and the man named Nux has Golden Coloured ey-”

Suddenly, the General who was reporting this turned silent as he realized something.

“Golden Coloured eyes…”

He repeated.

“Similar to the assassin who attacked our Camp…”

Marcus understood what he wanted to say as well.

However, Armando shook his head,

“Have your minds stopped working or something?

This man named Nux is an Expert Stage CUltviator, while the assassin was a King Stage Cultivator, the two of them are not the same person.”

“Ah… that’s true…”

The other Generals nodded in agreement.

“Indeed, we shouldn’t bother wasting our time on small fries.”

Even Herms seemed convinced.

“Alright then, enough discussion.

Since Ember has left, Woods Army’s Morale must be low right now, we will use this chance to attack and reclaim the lost Deathspike Fort and further destroy their morale.”

“What about the Generals, how many Generals should we send this time?”

“Well, we will be taking this a little seriously now.

Fredgelord and Marcus, you two will follow Armando and participate in this War.

Remember, you only have one Goal, and that is the New General’s Head.”

“Hahaha! I have been waiting for this day for a long time now! I can finally move now! Hahaha!”

Fredgelord laughed out loud.

Marcus, however, frowned.

“Sending 3 King Stage Cultivators… won’t that make the Woods wary of us?”

“Don’t worry too much about it.

It’s not like I am acting on my own.

Sending Three King Stage Cultivators is nothing.

The Woods have lost 1 King Stage Cultivator already, if we kill another one, they would be 2 King Stage Cultivators down.

That Dynasty only has 6 King Stage Cultivators, if they lose 2 of them, it would be a big advantage for us.

And I am sure that even after losing 2 King Stage Cultivators, that Old Geezer won’t make his move.

In the end, the Woods would only send the 4 King Stage Cultivators they are left with on the battlefield and we will use that chance to Kill all 4 of them.

With all the King Stage Cultivators gone, defeating the Woods would be a simple job.”

“What if their Emperor Stage Cultivator interferes?”

General Armando questioned.

“Don’t worry, he will not interfere, he knows that if he does, it would mean that he is breaking the Treaty of Eternal Peace, I would then request help from other Kingdoms and destroy the Woods Dynasty.

He won’t take that risk. That old geezer is not that foolish.”

“But according to the Treaty, the Emperor Stage Cultivator can’t interfere until the Fate of the Kingdom is at stake, the position the Woods Dynasty will be at that time, won’t he justify his actions as saving his nation that is about to be defeated by the enemy nation?”

General Armando questioned.

“Heh. Don’t worry, his Nation’s fate won’t be at risk.

After winning this war, rather than marching inside their capital city and trying to gain control over the whole Dynasty, we would only take some ‘rich’ cities and exploit those.

This way, since the capital is not threatened, he wouldn’t be able to move without breaking the Treaty.”

“So either he lets us exploit their cities all we want, or he moves and breaks the treaty, causing his country to be destroyed, these are the only two options he will be left with, right?”

Fredgelord questioned with a wide smile on his face.

“Indeed.”

Herms nodded with a small smile on his face.

He could already see his victory right in front of his eyes.

The others inside the room smiled as well.

As for Armando,

‘I need to report this to Master…’

Although he was smiling on the outside, just like the other Generals, inwardly, he was thinking about different things.

“Alright, the meeting is over, you people can leave now.”

Herms waved his hand, the Generals stood up and left the room one by one.

Once the Generals left, the smile on Herms’ face disappeared and he narrowed his eyes.

‘What a useless bunch. Can’t even catch a normal Assassin.

If only I didn’t need them for our future plans…

I would have killed them all.

Tsk Tsk.’

Herms snorted.

‘Master Nux…’

Outside Herms’s room, General Armando quickly contacted Nux, however, the answer he got from him was very unusual.
