Chapter 1521 1361: Dali Kingdom
The night sky was limitless.
The scarlet, round moon hung silently on the night sky above this nation of eternal night with no sunrises. Its reddish radiance emanated in the endless night of darkness.
Kade stood on the platform and gazed at the scenery below him. The dark, mesmerizing cities—Doom, Eternal Night City, and Death Capital. They were the last palaces of all the dark and undead races. Unlike the capital of the Kingsley's Kingdom, Doom was constructed in the shape of a square, which had set apart four regions that represented four families and the four largest races in the kingdom. The four regions served the gigantic, pitch-black castle in the center—and its owner.
At this moment, this city was sleeping under the gentle moonlight. The corners of Kade's lips twitched. This massive city could never be treated as luxurious. Even though there were also business negotiations and communications in this city, they couldn't be as lively as the human countries. To put it bluntly, judging by her views of this city as a Human, he saw this place as an exquisite, lifeless graveyard with countless tombstones and graves exuding a faint blue aura.
What a foolish and meaningless thought.
He shook his head slightly and caressed his beard. At this moment, a voice sounded behind him.
"All ready, Sir."
"Got it."
Kade instantly put up a stern expression. He turned around and entered the spacious room with large strides. Even though there were exquisite decorations set up in every corner of this well-decorated room, there wasn't a single piece of furniture. In the center of the spacious room, there was a mysterious, yet complicated ritual emanating with faint radiance. The ritual was laid out in the shape of a cross with empty circles at all four corners. Kade stepped onto one of the four circles. Then, the entire ritual cross emanated a faint radiance and shortly after, three other indistinct, illusory silhouettes emerged above the other three circles. Even though Kade couldn't see their facial features, he knew that it was the same as how others viewed him — This was the communication method for the four legendary generals. Unless they received orders, they would never gather in a single place. They had never appeared before anyone and always controlled everything in secret.
'It's almost time.'
Kade let out a snort as he gazed at the three fuzzy figures. The war against the Mainland had begun, but the four legendary generals didn't launch all their attacks. Instead, as per usual, Great Garcia and Number 4, the dark angel Erik were responsible for leading the battles, while 'The Bloody Witch' Gretel and Kade remained in the nation. According to the plan, they should have overcome a large portion of the Mainland's territories and searched for further breakthroughs. However, Kade knew that the situation wasn't that simple.
"Our operations have faced some problems."
He said coldly.
If Alex was present he would have identified Kade as the head of the Numbers under Bahamut's clone.
''Our operations in the Renner Kingdom have faced resistance, which caused the slowing of our progress. It seems that they are well-prepared for our raids. Our first wave of raids has almost failed. We need to regroup our troops and revise our strategies."
"How surprising."
A flirtatious, melodious voice sounded. Even without the need to look at her appearance, almost every man would fall into a delusion that they couldn't extricate themselves from.
However, Kade remained silent and gazed at the slender magical silhouette with narrowed eyes.
"We have predicted that the Renner Kingdom's defenses would be impressive. But, all the battle lines have crumpled? General Kade, you must be joking, right?"
Kade shook his head slightly. As the only human race among the four legendary generals, he was much more capable than the other three in extracting intelligence from human society. In fact, he was sure that Garcia wasn't exaggerating in his words. There would be a risk of losing all their troops if they didn't retreat immediately. Even though they had broken through the defenses in Sygram and Dragon Canyon, they failed to dominate the territories they had expected. Besides, their enemies had also smartly withdrawn from battle, which made it difficult for the Undead Army to kill the Humans and replenish their manpower on the spot. The situation in Silent Field was still acceptable. However, Kade was clear that the Undead Army there had become a lonely army with Silent Field's geographical location. If they didn't come up with any solutions, they would surely be eliminated by the Valkyries Army.
The situation in Grendel was even worse. According to the report that Kade had received, not only did the enemies defeat Garcia's first wave of the army, but they had also destroyed the 'Sinister Death'. Even though the 'Sinister Death' was a Necromancer family with intermediate forces and wasn't regarded highly by the four legendary generals, they were considered powerful by the humans. It was unbelievable that this Necromancer family had been utterly destroyed.
"Everything is normal in the Kingsley's Kingdom."
Number 4, the dark angel Erik was as reticent as ever as though speaking a few more words would kill him. But, the other three present understood what he meant.
Their attack on the Kingsley's Kingdom couldn't get any more normal.
Initially, they dispatched their troops to the border to put up a strong stance and disregarded their army entirely. The day before Erik launched his attack, Kingsley's Kingdom was still focusing its attention on dealing with its Prime minister and winning the trust of its people. This gave Erik the chance to overwhelm the borders and invade all the way through. Not only that, but they had also accomplished their mission earlier than expected. However, due to the resistance from the Renner Kingdom, Erik couldn't advance further.
If the Kingsley's Kingdom was a wine bottle while the Dali's Kingdom attack was like forcing water into the wine bottle opening, then the Renner Kingdom would be the cork. Logically speaking, the water would gush into the wine bottle in the shortest time possible as soon as the cork was removed. But, if they were to find an opening in the bottleneck and pour water through, no one knew how much time it would take to fill the wine bottle.
Of course, another way was to break the bottleneck and pour all the water in. But, this way, the Dali Kingdom would inevitably enrage the Holy Empire considered also the giant behemoth of Law, overseeing everything silently before moving if valuable reason was given, they wouldn't want such superpower to be enraged which would be extremely dangerous.
