"Firstly, we’ll be able to kill members of the Bloodshed Clan if we work together with the Nine Armies, and it'll be considered as us avenging ourselves. Secondly, they’ll be indebted to us for helping them eliminate those from the Bloodshed Clan, which will gain for us some support from the AntiAlliance Guard, am I right? Isn’t this much better than running around aimlessly?" explained Fane to the crowd, informing them of his intentions. "We don’t need to act now even if we want to help them, though—let them wear each other out in the battle. After all, the Nine Armies took their sweet time in delaying their actions previously, didn't they?”
"That's right! We can’t just jump in and attack. We need to take our sweet time,
too." Venus was much happier when she heard this.
“Haha... Let's go then. Everyone can leave the forest and see if we can meet any of our people on the way. We'll gather our people together, and if we meet any of the Bloodshed Clan disciples, we'll kill them. Of course, we’ll also kill any of the people from the seas if we run into them. The people from the seas had always been our enemy, so it’s best if we don’t let any of them off the hook," declared Fane before leading everyone, and they all flew down the mountain.
Just like what Fane anticipated, the Bloodshed Clan left around 1,000 of their disciples outside the forest to stand guard and prevent them from escaping.
"Haha! It's good that we're stationed here!" A disciple in the Fourth-grade ultimate god level chuckled. "Only a few of those from the abandoned world are still alive in this forest, and they won't rush out so easily as they understand the strength of our Bloodshed Clan. They're hiding in the forest, that's for sure. On the other hand, our men who went to the Nine Armies would be facing a huge battle."
"That’s right. The Nine Armies aren't weak, and we’ve lost around twenty thousand people during our hunt of those who came from the abandoned world. The losses are much greater than what we anticipated. On top of that, even those in the Seventh-grade ultimate god level and our Fourth Elder have died. F*ck! Masters from the Nine Armies must've helped them," remarked a woman as she tightened her fist. "The Fourth Elder is quite a nice person. If they hadn’t requested for me to stay back, I would've joined them in killing those from the Nine Armies. I'd feel so much better if I could kill several of them."
At that moment...
Dong! Dong! Dong!
The sound of the bell once again rang at the Nine Armies.
"Ugh, curses! Why did the bell ring again? Who rang it?!" The First Fortress Master was extremely furious. He planned on acting only two hours from then, but the bell rang unexpectedly, requesting for everybody to gather.
An elder beside him seemingly glowered as well. "First Fortress Master, these people truly do not honor you. We’ll have to find out who rang it, and we'll have to reprimand them, too. Are they in that much of a hurry to rescue those from the abandoned world? No one had those people barging into the area. We're obviously not as strong as the Bloodshed Clan, yet we still had to deal with it!"
Nonetheless, they still walked out of the building and flew toward the huge square at the heart of the fortresses, despite their chagrin.
It was only when they arrived did they realize the Bloodshed Clan spearheaded their men into their base.
