Chapter 294: Revgen Empire’s Attack

“Teams A and B are in position, but Team C is still a bit delayed.”

In the Imperial Palace, one man reported the situation of three of the golem groups under his command that had been sent to attack the True Empire. There were a lot of groups, but only Team C under that man’s command wasn’t ready yet.

“Those golems still have many flaws that affected to their mobility. I told you that without fixing them that team would have problems, but you ignored me.”

The one speaking was George who had been appointed to help to control the advance of the golem groups. Since the first moment, all the members of the Imperial Family in charge of golems were surprised by George’s great insight regarding golems.

George had been able to point a lot of flaws in those golems and after those flaws were fixed the golems improved a lot. Although George lacked the power to improve those golems or control them correctly by himself, if it was just pointing the problems of the golems and telling how to solve them, there wasn’t anyone in that room who could surpass him.

Despite knowing that George’s words were correct, they were short on time, and the flaws George had pointed about the Team C were too expensive to repair in a short time without affecting the owner’s wealth heavily, so the man in charge of that team decided that it wouldn’t be much problem even without improving the golems.

However, at that moment, his face was red in shame as all the other people in the room was staring towards him.

“If the plan fails because you have been stingy in improving your golems, death would be the best outcome for you. You will be considered the greatest sinner of our Empire.”

The chief of the golem division, who was an elder of the Imperial Family, spoke seriously and the other man started to tremble.

“Don’t worry; I made some arrangement to the plan. Even with the Team C delay, it will work in this way thanks to the last our changes announced by the Emperor.”

Zack put some papers in the table in front of him, and the faces of those who read them changed because that plan was feasible and would solve the problem. Revgen had announced some last hour changes in the Empire’s power, and the plan related to the golems wasn’t taking it into account because it had been earlier.

When George was appointed to be with the golem strategy team, he suggested bringing Zack with him as his assistant. However, George didn’t plan to have Zack act as his assistant because he knew that Zack was intelligent and was able to remain calm in stressful situations. Thus, George believed that Zack would be helpful if something in the plan went wrong and his guess was on the spot.

In fact, the changes in the plan made by Zack were something that everyone in the room could have thought without problems, but they were unable to remain calm in such a critical moment for the Empire, so they didn’t even think in changing the plan a bit given the improvements in the Revgen Empire’s forces.

The elder in charge had heard that those two guys had been brought from a backwater city by someone with an even greater status than the Emperor, so he wasn’t surprised that both were so capable despite their young age.

However, all the others didn’t know about that and were thinking from where those two young geniuses had appeared.

At that moment, everyone heard a mighty shout in their minds.

“Let’s destroy the True Empire.”

That shout of Liye was heard by all the people who were working in the war against the True Empire, and it was the signal to start the attack. Most of the people didn’t know from who that voice was, but they knew that it was the moment to start.

“Attack! Let’s lure those bastards, and once they are packed together, the others will kill them easily!”

The golems were mainly for distraction and luring the opponents; there were others in charge of eliminating all of them.

The True Empire didn’t fail to meet with the Revgen Empire’s expectations and attacked those golems with all their might. However, when they were smiling as the golems were destroyed, ice lances pierced through their hearts.

The ones who attacked with ice spears to the True Empire members that were fighting against the golems were the members of Frost Winged Wolves pack, which had been officially called Wyba’s Army.

It was thanks to them that Zack could revise the plan because there was another good place to lure the members of the True Empire, which was neared to the golems, but in that place, it would have been difficult for normal wolfs to ambush them there. However, since the wolves could fly, it wasn’t a problem anymore.

Frost Winged Wolves were beasts capable of moving at great speeds while flying, and their number was high, so all the members of the True Empire in places near the Imperial City were appointed to them to destroy. If there had been more time, the area appointed to them would have been even more huge.

The golems were also in charge of the same area, but for the opposite reason. Their mobility was extremely limited, and even though they had been preparing for that attack since the first moment, the distance they could cover wasn’t that much.

Even though some members of the Imperial Family had neared them to their destinations before, they were still only barely managed to be ready in time. They had been the main reason for the half hour delay.

The members of the Imperial Family and the other noble clans were also going to attack, but they focused in more distant places were the members of the True Empire were more dispersed.

Swordmad had also joined them as one of the main attack forces because after being enlightened by Liye, he finally reached the Grandmaster Rank in the warrior Path. Moreover, he was at the 3-star Grandmaster, and his swordsmanship surpassed the sage stage and reached the level of starting to control the Sword Law. Although his control was still very shallow, his prowess had more than a thousand times stronger than before the enlightenment.

Initially, Swordmad hadn’t been appointed to attack directly and merely to support the golems and the wolves. Although an Elder Rank expert was useful, without the capability to fly, he couldn’t move quickly to kill dispersed people, and as he was Yale’s master, Revgen didn’t plan to put him in a cannon fodder position.

However, after the improvement of the wolf pack and the breakthrough of Swordmad, the plans changed because the wolfs didn’t need any support since they could fly, and Swordmad’s power turned important for the war.

There weren’t a lot of Sage Rank experts, so a Grandmaster Rank expert was very useful, and Swordmad’s value was even higher by the fact he started controlling the Sword Law.

George, Zack, and Swordmad had duties to do, but Lar and Aizu were forbidden from acting despite their insistence because their power was too lacking for having any use in the war against the True Empire, and they didn’t have any use in planning strategy or improving golems like the others.

However, despite his weak power, Durgan also have a duty to do in that great war, although it wasn’t related to fighting.

There were a lot of kids kidnapped by the True Empire to brainwash them, but since they were less than ten years old their souls were still intact, so it was still possible to save them.

Initially, the Revgen Empire planned to rescue the kids after dealing with the True Empire, but when Hyrk heard that, he remembered something he heard while he was being tortured.

The place where those kids had been trapped was filled with a lethal poison that was even more deadly than the one the Hyeran Clan put on Hyrk’s body before. Moreover, that poison would automatically activate when a certain person died, but Hyrk didn’t know who that person was, so there was no war to just avoiding killing the person who would trigger the poison.

However, he was certain that the person belonged to the Hyeran Clan because to access that area it was needed the bloodline of the Hyeran Clan. If someone without the bloodline of the Hyeran Clan tried to open the place where the kids were trapped or the one opening the hidden door wished for it, the poison would also trigger.

Thus, Hyrk offered himself to go as he was the only member of the Hyeran Clan that hadn’t betrayed the Revgen Empire. However, since saving those kids wasn’t as important as killing all the members of the True Empire, Hyrk didn’t have any high-level escort and only people who volunteered to help.

Needless to say, that if the plan of the Hyeran Clan succeeded and Hyrk died in the Imperial Palace, there would have been no way to save those kids as no one would have opened the hidden door to free them. Even capturing someone wouldn’t have ensured the safety of those kids as the poison could have been activated while opening the hidden door.

Durgan had been one of them because he couldn’t ignore the lives of those kids. Although he wasn’t the only one with that mindset, most of the rest of the group were just prideful members of the younger generation who wanted to be of some use to the Revgen Empire in that war.

In fact, Lar and Aizu knew about that rescue operation, but none of them wanted to risk their lives for some kids that were unrelated to them. They even considered that the rescue operation was more like a suicide mission seeing the members.

The strongest of the rescue group was a 3-star Elder of the Tofesh Clan who volunteered to help after the Imperial Family killed the traitors inside the Tofesh Clan because Birgh, a young female genius of the clan, wanted to help to rescue those kids, but the rest were far weaker with the strongest among them was just at the 2-star Expert.

However, that elder didn’t have too high battle capabilities, so it was still better if they could rescue the kids without encountering any enemy. That elder had gifted everyone a high-quality armor to increase their survival chances, but an armor was still just an armor if a Grandmaster Rank expert appeared it wouldn’t have any use.

Furthermore, if someone who surpassed the elder’s power appeared, the elder would flee with Birgh abandoning the others because battling would only lead to death and since their mission wasn’t an official one, dying for it was meaningless.

That elder had confidence in saving himself and Birgh, but he couldn’t save with everyone else in front of a powerful opponent, and he said that clearly before they started traveling to the place where those kidnaped kids were.

Fortunately for the rescue group, they managed to reach the hidden door of the underground chamber where those kids were trapped without encountering with any enemy just before Liye’s shout that meant the start of the attack to the True Empire.

That order didn’t affect them since that mission was an unofficial one despite having been approved by Revgen. They just needed to rescue those kids and bring all of them to a safe place.

Their only problem was that once the attack plan started, there was a risk of the poison triggering due to the death of that certain person, so Hyrk rushed to open the hidden door.
