571 Alexs Next Plan (2/2)
”Yeah. That's basically it. They also don't control their territory at all. Let's say that the areas in their jurisdiction are lawless areas where crime could happen at any moment. Their territory is filled with criminals and prisoners. This is why the Black Devil Sect could easily extract their blood and turn them into a pill.
”However, I suggest being careful if you want to go against them. I have some information about them, including their origin. Their sect master is a human but looked like a zombie. From what I know, the leader went into the Cursed Land situated on the west of Black Devil Sect. In that place, he received this kind of power to extract people's blood and created Black Devil Sect to the scale now within five centuries.
”I don't know his exact power, but we could safely assume he is a Martial Monarch… at least 5-Star.” Nelson said.
Alex suddenly remembered that he had yet to level Nelson up, so he quickly asked the city to use every EXP Card to Nelson, raising his power to 1-Star Martial Monarch.
”Thank you for the EXP Cards, Young Master.” Nelson thanked him before pausing for a few seconds. ”Even though I am a Martial Monarch now, I doubt I can fight against their Sect Master. At best, Leoz might be his opponent after he enters 6-Star to be careful.”
”6-Star Martial Monarch?” Alex was bewildered. The highest power on the Northern Continent was only 3-Star Martial Monarchs. Although it was the pill's work to make their sect master a 5-Star Martial Monarch, it was still too absurd to wait for Leoz 6-Star Martial Monarch to fight him.
Noticing the confusion in his eyes, Nelson quickly explained. ”I am not asking this because I am afraid of the sect master. It's because of their members. If I am not wrong, there are around two hundred Martial Monarchs in this place. Of course, two-third of them were 1-Star Martial Monarch, and their power was equal to 10-Star Martial Emperor, but considering they have Berserk Pills and such, they silently became the ruler of this continent. Meanwhile, the other influences here have similar power from those on the Northern Continent.”
Alex looked down while crossing his arm. His face made a troubled expression as he was clear what kind of effect the Berserk Pill gave. ”This would be a troublesome fight…”
”Yeah. We can safely assume it's hard to fight them from head-on. In that case, we can start using the guerilla tactic.”
”We can indeed. But the problem is… the moment they decide to lock down their gate, killing them would be hard because of the concentrated force. The sooner they make that decision, the harder they are.” Alex scratched his head as he couldn't come up with a single plan. If this was on the Northern Continent, he could somehow pull Blackwade Clan for a fight like this. Unfortunately, he was on the Sacred Continent and was also a nobody.
Alexx looked at Nelson for a few seconds before muttering, ”If I ask you to assassinate a few people, it would only alarm the enemy. However, if we attack them big time to chip away their number, how many times do you think we could attack them before they lockdown their gates?”
”I don't know the answer.” Nelson regretfully shook his head and said. ”It's better to call Anya for a question like this, Young Master.”
”Yeah. You are right.” Alex nodded. However, he didn't take Anya's card alone. Instead, there are Anna, Jeanne, Leoz, and Greg.
”Anya and Anna will stay here to think about our situation. Jeanne, Leoz, and Greg will be watching our surroundings.”
”Yes.” The trio quickly bowed their heads and disappeared.
Meanwhile, Anya quickly answered Alex's previous question. ”I assume we can only do that for two or three times at most. If possible, I want to attack them to get at least five thousand to ten thousand people at once. Their first reaction would be angry.
”After all, with their power, they secretly rule the continent. However, an unknown influence suddenly decides to give a devastating blow. They would surely be angry at us and try to attack us. We will use that opportunity to attack them the second time. Depending on their reaction time, we can kill another batch.”
Alex looked at Anya for a few seconds before he nodded. ”Indeed. The second time aside, there is no way they would move five to ten thousand people at once without any big event.” Alex sighed.
As Alex said, that was also the problem in Anya's head. She pondered for a moment before looking at Nelson. ”Do we have any information about big events on this continent?”
”There is one that would start in a month. It's called Martial Festival. I have done a few investigations, and it would seem the event will be held in the Special Realm of Martial Arts Pavillion. The realm itself is vast, and around a thousand disciples from each big influence will participate in this event.” Nelson nodded while recalling all the information from his head.
”What is this event all about?”
”It's something you know, Young Master. The event is similar to the Battle Tower that you experienced in Heavenly Sword Sect. That killing monsters thing and raises one's strength.” Nelson smiled.
”Oh?” Astonishment appeared on his face. He started recalling that he needed to kill monsters and receive energy equivalent to them to raise his strength.
”The difference between them is that this event would ask you to get the monster core yourself before going to the temple in the middle of the realm and pour all your cores inside. From my expectation, you can raise your cultivation by one or two stars. The people outside wouldn't know what happened inside the realm so that we could easily kill all the Black Devil Sect's disciples. Of course, only Martial Emperors could enter the barrier. In other words, Leoz, me, and Jeanne couldn't participate.”
”Ehm… I shouldn't level you up earlier.” Alex sighed.
”Haha… Don't worry, Young Master. I, Leoz, and Jeanne will create a disturbance outside by killing the people from Black Devil Sect. Then they would send some reinforcement and hopefully a few thousands which we can exterminate.” Nelson assured him.
