385 His Plan (1/2)
Alex had completed his objective. He already made the array and confirmed that around a third of the soldiers did not have red colored energy inside their body. Of course, he observed them from afar, and because he needed to make Arrays around them, he could see a complete picture with his Spirit Eyes. He assumed those soldiers would be the soldiers from Nilis Continent.
He could assume that because of their Martial Kings. They even had peak Martial Kings in their helm, so he thought Nilis Continent should have higher base energy than his Willow Continent. With that level of energy, birthing soldiers equal to the Zhou Kingdom should be easy.
Of course, they would also need time to cultivate them, but with how grand the scale of this invasion was. He felt they had enough time to prepare all of it, resulting in those soldiers.
At the same time, he was also sure that their plan would be something similar to his speculation. Even if they had another twist in their plan, he should be able to counter that by a slight adjustment.
He finally made his way toward Thine City. He would need to arrange the disciples from both sects. Since it was still dark, Alex used this chance to recover his energy first. He was a bit exhausted after making so many arrays and in that tense situation where he constantly needed to be wary.
As soon as the dawn came, Alex went toward the army just right outside the Thine City. Of course, even though they were right outside the Thine City, the elders made them camp inside the woods to make sure no one realized their existence. And it seemed they also bribed the officials in Thine City to make sure no one approached their position.
The first elder immediately noticed his presence and came out to meet him.
”First Elder.” Alex nodded.
”We have settled down in this place and make sure no one knows about our existence in this place. As for those officials, we have dealt with them, forcing them to shift the attention of all people inside the town to another place. Well, it is easy since the biggest distraction will be the Grand Tournament in Carageo City. I will go to that City after this, and my disciple Silvia will be in charge of these disciples.”
”Thank you for your hard work. I have made sure of the enemy's intention and their plan. I think I will need to explain my plan for this.” Alex said.
”Indeed, I will call Silvia and a few elders.” The first elder said.
”Oh, by the way, who is in charge of Rainbow Flower Sect right now?”
”...” The first elder hesitated a bit before he said a familiar name to Alex, ”Letizia La Scola. She should be in the field, making sure the disciples are ready.”
Alex did not say anything for a few seconds before nodding his head. ”I will go to her then.”
The first elder nodded and left. Alex then started walking toward the Rainbow Flower Sect camp. It was truly a glamorous sight to see females wherever he went.
”Master, what are you doing here?” Suddenly, he heard a female voice from the side. And since she called him 'Master,' Alex could imagine who she was.
Alex nodded. ”I want to check the condition of our forces for a bit and then explain the enemy plan and my plan.”
”Understood. I will gather all of them. Where is the meeting place?” Letizia asked.
Alex pondered for a moment and said, ”In Heavenly Sword Sect camp.”
Letizia nodded and left to gather the people. Alex then came back to the Heavenly Sword Sect camp, and the first elder led them to a commander tent.
There were around eleven people in this tent, including the first elder and Letizia. After noticing everyone was ready, Alex said, ”I am sure you are wondering why I don't want to ruin their plan before all of this started. I could only say that when I am not on this continent anymore. If a giant army comes again, you won't be able to fend them off.
”I don't want to say whether Heavenly Sword Sect or Rainbow Flower Sect is not good. But let just consider the fact that you don't realize a giant army with 15 Martial Kings go unnoticed like this. It is the biggest blunder that could change the fate of this continent.
”That's why I want to erase this threat once and for all. And I need all of your power for this. I am sure you also want it that way.”
All of them nodded. They surely did not want a big threat like this, especially when they knew the army had 15 Martial Kings. They also received the information from him telling the army had a hundred thousand Martial Masters, fifty thousand Martial Grandmasters, and five thousand Martial Lords. With that number alone, none of their sects would be able to withstand their power.
”Anyway, from the information I have got this whole time. I am 90% sure the Martial Kings will move first. They have prepared a giant array beneath the arena. You don't need to worry about it since I have taken care of it.
”The array is called Elemental Suppression Array, and they could suppress all Martial Lord or below cultivators. I have experienced it, and I am sure you won't be able to move your body when you are under the suppression.
”So, when the array is activated, we will move the army toward Rivulet Forest. I will stand by in front of the army and let you know my location. After that, we will rout the entire army.” Alex explained.
”But Master, what about the Martial Kings? And even if we come to fight them, it is practically impossible for our sixty thousand disciples to defeat that giant army. Our power level is also far lower than them.” Letizia asked.
When they heard Letizia called Alex' Master'. They were bewildered. After all, Letizia was the daughter of Rainbow Flower Sect sect master. And the way she called him was very formal, like a servant and master relationship rather than master and disciple relationship.
When they thought about that, Alex immediately shifted their focus once more. He said hurriedly, ”I can deal with the Martial Kings. Since they are moving separately with the army, my subordinates should be able to kill all of them.
”And if you are asking about how we can defeat that giant army with our sixty thousand disciples… well, with that number, they can easily surround us and kill us.” Alex said. The people furrowed their eyebrows when they heard that. Alex then continued, ”But, if we have a wall that could withstand their attacks and that wall will only give us enough space for a frontal assault between thirty thousand of our force as well as their thirty thousand.
