Chapter 736 Search Order
After Vaan had left the battlefield, he signaled the idle dragons to fill the gap and take on the second vampire army.
If he had left without any arrangements to prevent the second vampire army's advancement, Berucha's hot-headed martial group would have faced the risk of complete annihilation.
After all, they had advanced so far into the ranks of the first vampire army.
Although they fought bravely and dominated the battlefield with their martial prowess, they lacked the discipline and coordination of a military. They had put themselves in a situation where retreat wasn't an option.
Once the second vampire army connected with the first vampire army, they would be completely cut off and overwhelmed.
Vaan didn't want to lose such an interesting and devoted group of followers. They had both value and potential. Furthermore, he could feel their faith. It would be a pity to lose them.
"Supreme Leader!"
Kuvat quickly greeted Vaan with reverence upon his arrival at the imperial army's high command location.
At the same time, Emperor Varan saw the close-up detail of Vaan's young appearance, and his heart shook for various reasons.
Truly too young!
Emperor Varan took a deep breath before carefully asking, "How should I address you, Sir? Should I call you Venerable Dragon God, Lord Vaan, or Sir Pendragon?"
He felt conflicted calling such a young man sir, but there was no other way around. The other party's status was too special.
"You can call me whatever you feel comfortable with, Emperor Varan. It is just something to refer to me. There's no need to put such importance on them," Vaan casually said.Visitt novelbin(.)co/m for the latest updates
Emperor Varan's lips twitched.
Perhaps only someone like Vaan could disregard titles with such nonchalance. However, he couldn't do the same. He had to maintain etiquette and respect.
Otherwise, his image would suffer, and he would displease those who looked up to Vaan.
Emperor Varan immediately frowned.
In order to defeat a Great Devil, they had to work with a Great Devil. While it sounded simple, gaining a Great Devil's cooperation was uncharted territory. It had never been done before.
Even if they could succeed, it was hard to tell what kind of price they would have to pay for Hecate's cooperation.
More importantly, Emperor Varan didn't even know where to start. It was impossible to contact Hecate.
Gehenna was a vast realm. The Great Devils and countless demons wouldn't just let them waltz through their territories free of trouble. The whole trip to Hecate's domain would be riddled with danger.
Furthermore, even if they succeeded in gaining Hecate's cooperation, there was no telling if she would stab them in the back.
The idea itself was a gamble.
However, the Venerable Dragon God wouldn't have brought up this topic if he didn't have an idea with a degree of confidence or guarantee, would he?
"How do we do that, Venerable Dragon God?" Emperor Varan inquired earnestly.
"I need you to mobilize all the spare manpower you can muster as the emperor to find a person – Galen's wife. Even if you have to turn the Great Ratholos Empire upside down, you must find Hecate's Devil's Contractor," Vaan stated, adding, "Look beyond your borders if you have to. I will also mobilize my forces to search outside your empire."
"Galen's wife? Hecate's Devil's Contractor...?"
Kuvat and Emperor Varan were stunned before they stared at Vaan with doubt and confusion.
"Why do you want me to look for Galen's wife? Galen should be Hecate's Devil's Contractor... He was a Double Contractor of Hecate and Abaddon..." Emperor Varan frowned in confusion.
"And I have already killed him..." Kuvat added with a blank look.
"Galen was Hecate's Devil's Contractor at some point, yes. But no more. That is why he turned to Abaddon and entered into a contract with him. He was abandoned by Hecate first," Vaan explained.
"Even if that is true, how can you be so sure Galen's wife is Hecate's current Devil's Contractor, Venerable Dragon God?"
