Chapter 629 The Formation Of Anti-Rebellion Squad

p anda nOvel.cO,m While the Rebels have done their job and have gotten rid of the Castellan who is one of the key figures in the plan of the Pope to succeed, the Tactician has a headache on hearing some news about the damages done by the rebels to most of the stuff that should have been done. Not only that but he never received a reply from the Castellan despite sending him a letter that should have allowed the former to receive. Not only did the answer not arrive but even his homing pigeon he trained to send letters to others disappeared.

He bit his fingers while reading some of the reports he received from some of his informants in different places of Luminous Continent. Although the plan is properly progressing, once a part of it is not working, it will remain to be in trouble all throughout the entire time. While he knows that the Castellan will not gain any problems with the rebels, he can't help but be worried that things will not work out. After all, despite the force the Castellan possess, the rebels remain active.

As he sips on his coffee, 5 continuous knocks came on his door. This is one of the codes that his allies do whenever they wanted to meet and discuss matters regarding the Pope's plans and their agendas.

He stood up and opened the door, revealing one of the officials he send the other day to see the progress on the Castellan's side.

"Good afternoon, sir Tactician. I have a report to make regarding the Castellan."

"Go on."

Sir, the Castellan is missing and his land is full of the dead bodies of his bodyguards. We checked his residence and every single one of the servants and bodyguards stationed there are all dead."

The news made the Tactician frown.

"Did you really look carefully at his residence? If he was missing, perhaps he is just hiding in one of the secret rooms in his residence. There is no way he disappeared just like that."

"We have someone who can see through walls and we already learned where his secret rooms in his manor are located but none of them hides the Castellan. His manor is empty except for the dead bodies. The only signs we have seen that the Castellan was there before are his unfinished paperwork that seems to be still halfway done, broken champagne glass, and signs of blood on his seat."

"Blood? Did he get into a fight?"

"Perhaps as we have found some traces of struggle there. But it wasn't as chaotic as most struggles and battles that happened. It was contained in one place which means whoever managed to injure the Castellan has done it before the Castellan could fight back hence the little struggle that happened. Before he can recover, the enemy overpowered the Castellan and took him away.

"So you say in your theory that he is still alive?"

"There is a 50-50 chance he is alive and he is dead. Both can be the truth until we knew the real outcome. I currently deployed a few of my men to track the current location of the Castellan and a few of them are even sent to spy on the Rebel's village. We will be getting news about them soon but so far, I have yet to receive any news from them."

"No news yet? I didn't expect things would be like this. How come merely fallen rebels are able to shake our plans like this? Shouldn't we be able to drive them to the corner already?"

"According to my intel, they already managed to recruit three Pioneers to their cause and are the ones leading their whole village to fight back. According to my men who have seen them, they are a force to reckon with, and even if you fight one of them at a time, any one of us will easily die unless we unleash our abilities."

"Three pioneers already? Do you know who these people are?"

"No. But one of them seems to be the guy who singlehandedly destroyed the cult."

"You mean, the guy who didn't appear when the general announced the end of the war?"

"Yeah, that one. Apparently, he is famous among the Pioneers as one of the strongest Pioneers who was recruited by the Goddess herself. Part of the First Pioneers in the Sandurk Continent and one of the core members of the Sandurk's Frozen Region Expedition too. As for the other 2, I have no intel on them."

"F*CK, So we are facing a strong Pioneer then? One who destroyed a cult that has the power to exterminate a whole continent in one night? Are you serious? He joined the rebels?! Why have we not recruited this man on our side then?!"

"Uh, apparent;y, it is your fault, to begin with," the official scratched the back of his head.

"What? What do you mean by my fault? I was sure I have yet to meet with the guy you are talking about."

"Sir, you have met him before. Remember the time you were having a party in City Hall? That was also the same day the Pioneers arrived. One of them arrived too early and finished the General's test for flight and went to meet you to get his missions but you turned him away since the party is still ongoing which caused him to be pissed and left on his own though you ordered your guards to drag him out before he left on his own."

The Tactician frowned and tried to recall what the official is talking about until he finally hit the memory that he indeed turned away someone who came inside uninvited to his party. Because he was wearing a wolf mask and he has weird vibes, he found it a bit annoying to see someone ruin the vibes of his party and so he turned him away.

When the Tactician realized it, he sweated bullets realizing what he has done. He has turned away one of the main assets that he could actually use for the plans away, causing the rebels to take advantage of it and take the chances away.

"If we are not able to take over one of the strongest Pioneers then we shall recruit every single Pioneer to fight them head-on. What is the use of the strongest pioneer if we have all of them on our side? Immediately prepare the necessary preparations. We will form the Anti-Rebellion squad. Recruit every single Pioneer and make sure to give them rewards for joining, they will be enticed by the rewards no doubt about it. Make sure they will not betray us on our cause, deprive the rebels of the right to recruit any of the Pioneers left behind!"

"Yes sir!"

And the official left to immediately do the task given. The Tactician, however, is still shaking. After all, he messed up a lot, especially the recruitment. If what the official said is true, then the strongest person that would be able to aid them in their cause is already on their side. If the cult can't stop him, then even if he recruits everyone to fight against this guy, there is still no guarantee they will win since even the Pioneers acknowledge the guy was one of the strongest who joined the Pioneers.

He can only hope for the matter to be good, and he hopes the Castellan is still alive. He cannot bear the risk of the Castellan disappearing as he is the main asset they needed for the plan to move much smoother. But if things don't go in his way, he has to take drastic measures and do it his way. His plans cannot stop here, not until he has achieved his goals.

Fearing the worst that could happen to the Castellan, he pulled out the pen and paper on him and started writing a letter, before whistling. One pigeon entered his window and he immediately approached it and put the letter in a small little container attached to its legs to hold the letter. After that, he clicked his tongue a few times before sending the bird away.

He has to make sure that things will move even if the Castellan is no longer around. Returning to his seat, he cannot help but daydream about his dream of conquering the world, With all the people in his control and on his palms, he wanted to achieve the pinnacle of everything and have it as his own. He needed to achieve it, no matter what it takes, he has to do it.

But the moment he happened to daydream about it, the guy who he denied before suddenly came back haunting him. The wolf mask. That was one of the things he never expected to retain in his memory. One of the variables is a threat to his upcoming plans. He gritted his teeth, he is going to accomplish his goal, even if he is going to crash to an immovable rock.
