Chapter 469 - 469: The Last Trump Card
The hero picked up a smooth long stick and pointed at the military map spread out on the table.
Su Wan saw that the place he pointed at was the High Mountain Province.
It was only two to three hundred kilometers away from the capital. It was also near the Spire of Fate.
‘What is Archduke Blood Fury planning?’ wondered Su Wan. ‘If it was for a spell, why not just lock the civilians up? Why go through so much trouble?’
“Put Lion City on high alert. We will pay special attention to Archduke Blood Fury’s massacre.” Said Su Wan.
The real battlefield was still in Lion City. Regardless of what Archduke Blood Fury planned, he would come after the city in the end.
After the meeting ended, Su Wan asked Angel to stay behind.
“No matter what you want to do, don’t worry. We all support you unconditionally,” the princess said as she looked at Su Wan’s resolute face.
“For now, 1 entrust the city to you. Proceed according to the plan,” Su Wan said as she took out the Fire Elemental Core.
This was a treasure used for summoning the Fire Elemental Lord. Once crushed, he would appear.
If Lion City encountered trouble before her return, it could be used immediately.
Princess Angel reached out to receive the Fire Elemental Core that Su Wan handed to her. She felt thankful that Su Wan trusted her.
Angel turned to look outside the window. A hazy scene met her sight. The cracks appeared in space like spider webs and covered the entire sky.
Su Wan looked at the terrifying scene with a solemn face. ‘Does the archduke intend to drag the entire plane into the abyss?’
Just as Angel turned back to Su Wan to ask something, she noticed a tranquil flower engraved on the crystal in her hands.
“Guild Master, what did Archduke Blood Fury say to you?” Outside the desolate Frost Snow Mountains, members of the Blazing Flame Guild looked at their leader with doubt in their hearts.
“Is the plane going to collapse?”
The situation was too frightening. If the plane collapsed, everyone would die!
“Archduke Blood Fury intends to sacrifice the Tasiria Plane to the abyss in exchange for greater power,” said the Guild Leader. He looked up at the sky.
“Guild master, what should we do?”
If the Tasiria Plane was gone, wouldn’t all their efforts be wasted?
“This plane will become the bridgehead for the abyss. He wants to invade the Main Plane. Archduke Blood Fury has already gained the favor of the Lord of Greed, the ruler of the bottomless abyss. You should know that the closer you get to the depths of the bottomless abyss, the stronger the power becomes.”
“If the plan succeeds, Archduke Blood Fury will transform from the ruler of the Tasiria Kingdom to the vanguard of the bottomless abyss, the servant of the Lord of Greed.”
The members of the Blazing Flame Guild were in disbelief. ‘He intended to sacrifice the entire plane in exchange for power?’
Archduke Blood Fury had such grand ambitions!
However, there was another concern. Wouldn’t that mean the archduke would become a demon eventually?
“Archduke Blood Fury won’t completely become a demon. He will only obtain part of the power of higher demons. He will be a half-demon. We are on good terms with Archduke Blood Fury,” Wang De said with conviction. “We’ll be fine. Archduke Blood Fury has promised that as long as the Blazing Flame Guild maintains its cooperation with him, he will grant us land to manage our guild.”
“At the same time, we can recruit higher demon units of the Tasiria Plane to our cause!”
The members felt excited about the prospect. They didn’t care much about being given a piece of land. However, if they could recruit stronger troops to their cause…
The difficulty of obtaining higher-level troops was evident to everyone. Even at this moment, the Blazing Flame Guild only had a meager thirty troop nests. They were a top guild with five thousand Lords, and yet they had to undergo immense difficulties to obtain those thirty troops!
They couldn’t resist the temptation of the prospect offered by the archduke.
Moreover, if Archduke Blood Fury ascended to legendary status, there would undoubtedly be even more high-level troops in the Tasiria Plane.
At that time, the Blazing Flame Guild could recruit and train these troops. They would be leagues ahead of other guilds!
They were followers of the Lord of Flames. They wondered if the Lord of Flames would get offended by their choice.
“That lofty divine being up there won’t bother to pay attention to our actions.” Wang De shook his head.
But just in case, they would establish a new department later specifically for recruiting Lords from the evil faction to manage and govern this land and command the demons.
“Su Wan would have never expected that our previous failure would instead earn us the recognition and trust of Archduke Blood Fury.”
Behind Archduke Blood Fury was the Lord of Greed, the top-tier evil god who ruled the abyss!
The previous defeat was humiliating. Their confidence and hopes had been shattered. How could they accept an offer like this? This was their one shot at regaining their prestige. The final battle had been a turning point for Wang De.
Even if Su Wan had many more hidden trump cards, it would be impossible for her to do them damage, unless she had someone even stronger than the Lord of Greed to back her up.
However, that was highly unlikely.
The member Lords of the guild were invigorated..
