Chapter 877 - Prepare for battle
GDK 877: Prepare for battle
A few days later, the core members of the House of Han reassembled in the same meeting room. They seemed even more stressed and gloomy than before.
The messengers they sent had returned to the Han Residence, but none of them came back with good tidings. Carmelita was in secluded cultivation and could not be reached. Andre had departed for Darkwater City ten days before and had yet to return.
Aobashi and Erebus were executing a covert mission at a secret location. Nobody knew if they were still within the borders of the City of Shadows or not. None of the messengers even caught sight of the recipients.
Andre, Carmelita, Aobashi and Erebus, the four experts closest to the House of Han, had gone unreachable as though they had planned it ahead of time. Phoebe and the others felt desperate and disappointed that the four would go missing when the House of Han needed their help.
“This cannot be a mere coincidence! It’s impossible that all four of them are somehow out of reach just as Larikson entered Hushveil City!” Phoebe gnashed her teeth and angrily remarked, “They were very close with Bryan when he was still in the City of Shadows. Especially Carmelita and Erebus, who wouldn’t be living today if it wasn’t for Bryan. But it turns out they’re all heartless scum who would turn a blind eye at us when we need their assistance the most!”
“Perhaps it’s not them…” Stratholme wore a dark face as he slowly said, “There is a person who can send all four of them away and prevent our messages from reaching them…”
“Wallace!” exclaimed Ayermike.
Stratholme nodded and said, “He is the most powerful man in the city. He alone can send Aobashi, Erebus, and Andre away from the city at the same time. Carmelita is his daughter. He can force her to go on a period of secluded cultivation.”
“Yes. Given their relationship with Bryan, they would definitely come to our aid if they knew that we were in danger. Wallace must have architected this situation! He wouldn’t kill us himself, he wouldn’t sully his hands but he would no doubt use Larikson and Hofs to do his dirty work!” said Ayermike angrily.
*** From the opposite of Ralph’s location, an army led by Larikson and Hofs was moving with stealth towards Fort Lasberg. Although the House of Hofley had lost a great number of experts a few years ago, Hofs remained a respected figure in Hushveil City. There remained a good number of experts who would serve under him. After a few years of recruiting, the number of divine guards at his command was now much closer to the pre-incident level.
Larikson, who was flying at the front of the army, wore a dark, gloomy face. His mind was constantly filled with thoughts of revenge. It seemed as though the horrific scene of his son’s dead body had been haunting and tormenting him every second of every day.
<i>Bryan, House of Han, House of Lavers, Donna, I’m going to kill all of you!</i> thought Larikson as he flew towards Fort Lasberg.
When the news broke that Larikson’s son had been murdered, Donna immediately knew that it was Han Shuo who did it. Fearing that Larikson might blame her and thus her family clan upon finding out the truth, she went to her father and told him everything. Felder decisively commanded his family clan to escape from the City of Gorging Clouds while Larikson was madly hunting for the murderer.
After discovering the truth, Larikson activated his forces to locate and annihilate the House of Lavers. But as Felder was quick in escaping, Larikson had failed to do so. The House of Lavers seemed to have vanished from the Death, Darkness, and Destruction Dominions. He couldn’t locate the members of the Lavers Family no matter where he looked.
Larikson deemed the House of Lavers, Donna, Han Shuo, and the House of Han responsible for his son’s death and sought to destroy them. Having been unable to locate the House of Lavers and Han Shuo, he turned his crosshair to the House of Han in Fort Lasberg.
Half a month later, a group of avengers led by Larikson and Hofs arrived before Fort Lasberg. They wasted not a single word and started bombarding the Fort as soon as they arrived. They planned on flattening Fort Lasberg using their overwhelming power!
