”My Lord, where are you going?” Cross asked Yellow Ice The Avatar of shi+va was ordered to rest and remain on standby with just one day to the Red Moon Operation Purple Thunder had already abandoned his post yet Orc King Haainst him It would only compromise their mission to try and punish him now In the best scenario, the Avatar of Syldra would help the Thunder Army finish off those pesky humanoids And if he did… he could always be punished afterwards If he was unable to… well then the goblins and humanoids would have at least taken care of the intended punishment
”Our operation does not allow us to delay it He will be judged in front of the collective will of the Shaitans ill decide whether he lives or dies for betraying the King” Oku preciously reported to the respective agencies responsible for handling the operation logistics and informed them not to send any more additional help to the Thunder Orc Army
”Cross, stay and observe the situation in the capital My predictions were correct asburnt by Green Fire I want to have a talk with hiain” Yellow Ice instructed Cross Surprisingly the noroblin disobeyed his direct order and told Yellow Ice to follow him instead
”If you simply rush out of the castle like this, you will be spotted and Oku will be immediately notified I can show you a route that is barely used at this time” Cross armed himself with his trusty crossbow and lead Yellow Ice out of the capital Once away froic to su village
However, when he reached there… The village had already been burnt down to ashes It was devoid of life Nevertheless, Yellow Ice decided to take a look at the surrounding and check which direction Green Fire ht have escaped to Suddenly Cross took out his crossbow and warned his Lord
”Five Six…at least eight nearby hiding their presence!”
”Heh, you are too naïve, Cross There are ten The first six were the only ones showing their presence to hide the presence of the other four The next two pretended to slip up, so that it would appear, that we have noticed the hidden threats This should allow the last two to reer General Igni! Why not show yourself? I'd love to welcouests!” Yellow Ice exclai the presences They could hardly be blah their efforts Upon hearing that the ene any action to directly confront theamble
”It's rare for one of you Avatars to coni commented as he came out of the bushes
”It's even rarer for you to step into our land at all, Igni Usually we used to meet in the human's territory” Yellow Ice replied as he came down fronis It had been quite a while the two spymasters had met
”So I presuhed as he asked Cross to unload his crossbow as a sign of goodwill (Only the crossbow, it did not mean he would not be able to retaliate back in other ways)
”Indeed Green Fire has been killed, but the Avatar of Ifrit still lives on In fact, Ifrit now has blessed us with a 'descendant'” Igni said as he called Flame Ripper to co an Avatar hi Flame Ripper and confirh his aura did feel different He was unsure if this was because it was the very first ti to do why he had been called a 'Descendant'? That was for hi their barter of inforoblins have finally obtained an Avatar of a Shaitan noble and it's your child no less Congratulations to you, Igni” Yellow Ice still reht proud look froer General had also not escaped the notice of Yellow Ice
”Cross?” Flaoblin beside Yellow Ice and called out to hies to his outward appearances, he too was able to identify the other almost immediately
”So you do remember n of courtesy to the new Avatar of Ifrit
”How could I forget you? You were one of us, fighting so desperately together before we got separated We even set goals together to change the system Don't you remember?” Flame Ripper replied with a bit of melancholy in his tone
”But after all I did…” Cross thought to hiiance with the orcs? The three of us had kinda figured out about it Reeant conducted those surprise drill and ht? While you were ae found one of the letters and thought it was a love letter, so we read it, wanting to tease you with it Even e learned your identities, the ideals we talked together were genuine and wholly believed that you would change If you ever needed help back then, ould gladly accommodate you” Flame Ripper said and Cross suddenly felt disconcerted
