The next day at 5:30 PM, a group of twelve foreign men sat in a large hall of a farmhouse located in the southern part of Ozin city. Each one was muscular and had fierce-looking faces, exuding an intense bloodthirsty aura. Their strengths were not weak - even the weakest among them had reached the level of a True Master Battle Master, while the strongest man sat at the head with nearly 6. 6 feet tall and held a bloody dagger. From his aura, it was evident that he was above a Tier-two Battle God.
On an open space nearby lay two plain-dressed men and women who were unconscious. They were owners of this farmhouse. One man had two bloodstains on his waist.
"My Lord, this Glavalian woman is quite attractive. Since it's not time yet, why don't we have some fun?" one man looked towards the woman on the ground and spoke.
"Focus on our mission first!" The leader licked his dagger lightly before saying, "Once we've completed this mission, you can have any kind of woman you want!"
"Yea, that's for sure!" The man grinned. "By the way, I've heard that Commander Gardner's wife is the most beautiful woman in Ozin. Once we're done with him, can we ask the lord master to reward us with that woman?"
"Of course! As long as you can eliminate him, you can do anything you want in Ozin!" The leader spoke in a calm tone.
"Great! Glavale's beauties, here I come!" The man's eyes gleamed with intense enthusiasm.
"My Lord, when do we take action?" After a moment, another man turned to the leader and asked.
"Wait a bit longer!" The leader lifted his wrist to check his watch.
"The two leaders have not yet arrived in Ozin, it's too early to act. Wait for their notification before proceeding." Said the man.
"My Lord, according to our intelligence, he only has two Battle Gods by his side besides Rakshasa," the man paused before continuing. "Why did the leaders ask the four Ghost Kings to lead separate groups and cause trouble in different areas of Ozin just to distract his powerful Battle Gods?"
"Better safe than sorry!" responded the leader.
"We Ebon Gate suddenly brought so many Battle Gods and above, and the leaders are worried that they may be prepared for us, so they arranged more points!"
"My Lord, from what I see as a subordinate, why make things so complicated?" another man spoke up with a deep voice. "With the four Ghost Kings plus our eight Yin assassins and our people below us, we have a total of eight Battle Gods and twenty Battle Generals. Even if he is at Warlord level strength, he shouldn't be able to withstand all of us together." Said another man confidently.
"I don't think we need to wait for the two leaders. Let's just go find him ourselves! I don't believe we can't kill him!" added another.
"Don't underestimate him!" replied the leader with a serious tone as a hint of fear flashed through his eyes.
"The Glavale martial arts heritage has been around for thousands of years. He was able to stand out among such an outstanding generation in this great country because it wasn't just luck or background! A year ago he was able to kill five Battle Gods with one sword strike while still injured! And recently both Devil of Blood and Temple Messenger died at his hands! Although I'm not sure what level Temple Messenger was at but Devil of Blood was definitely close to Warlord level strength. It's said that even he couldn't block one sword strike from him."
Upon hearing this news, other men gasped in shock. They had heard about what happened a year ago, but they only knew the general idea of the story of Devil of Blood, a Warlord, and had never heard that he couldn't even block one strike from his opponent.
"My lord, do you think the two gate leaders can take him down?" The man who spoke earlier asked.
"Don't worry, both leaders are above Tier-two Warlord. One of them has already been a Half-Step War Grandmaster. Even if the other party is also at a Half-Step War Grandmaster, there is no chance for him to survive under the joint attack of both gate leaders!"
"That's great!" The man responded excitedly. "After we bring back his head this time, we will have more say in the Sanctum!"
