Chapter 628: A New Plan (1/2)

Six months had passed rather quickly.

The buzz and activity of the Sect became constant. Almost all personnel was working overtime in order to raise the strength of their overall force. Additionally, more safety protocols had been passed and more security levels had been secretly added. At least, that's all the changes so far during this time period...on the surface.

Hidden operations never ceased. Thanks to Raven's help, all moles in the sect had been located. It didn't matter whether they used only one identity or were constantly switching with the others, once they were marked, they will be monitored heavily in secret.

As the sect chose the activities that were publicized, these moles had been sending intel to their lords. Some of them were actively doing it while some are unconsciously doing it. Judging from their activities, their insider network was rather impressive as it manages to seep deeply into the sect secrets.

Unfortunately for them, Raven's already one step ahead of them. All intel they've been reporting back to their superiors? All of those were the ones that Raven allowed them to know. If Raven wants to keep a secret from them, then nobody, even their superiors, would know about it. That's the level of security Raven gave the sect.

That being said, it's not like they received anymore significant intel once they found out who the moles are. Their communication with their superior are one way links, which only allows them to send the report and not receive anything back.

This didn't really stop Raven since he was able to see those at the end of the line but since then, none of them made a move.

It's not really a bad situation to be in. If they remained quiet, then they're giving the sect more time to strengthen itself in order to defend against their frontal assault.

Still, Raven's pretty bummed about this. He wanted to know more in order to make sure they could be prepared as best as they could. This was initially the whole motive why he bothered arranging this meticulous plan.

He erased the memories of the captives as well as the majority of the sect, aside from core people he knew he could place his absolute trust, no one else remember anything about the whole identity revelation incident.

He even fixed up all the injuries he gave to the captives, erased all trails of tampering and what not and left them with his own rune that will allow him to know their actions at all times. This rune will reveal everything about them, including their reports to their superiors actively or subconsciously. He also gave this to the other moles who had been receiving some free resources from the sect.

This allowed him to create an elaborate trap that could alert them for everything the Exiles plan on doing. But as luck would have it, those people are way too secretive.

Compared to the intel he allowing them to have, those coots didn't let out even a fart if intel.

While Raven did managed to see some scenes of their 'Leaders' and that 'Allfather', that didn't really tell him much, that's why he hasn't revealed this intel yet to the Sect Master and the rest. Additionally, he couldn't really monitor them everyday, it was already risky to do it once since the 'Allfather' might notice him and that might escalate the war even earlier.

Six months wasn't really a long time. Raven and the sect does indeed have the resources and patience to prolong this state but Raven understood that the longer this goes on, the more losses the sect will accumulate.

Raven needs a better plan, he needed to expand the trap and he has to be extremely careful about it. So within this six months of constant brainstorming with his Avatars, a plan formed that will be able to help the, greatly should it work.

”Welcome to our facility, Young Lord.”

Numerous people greeted upon seeing Raven gracing them with his presence. A friendly smile appeared on Raven's face as he nodded to them and said:

”Thanks for your warm welcome.” He raised his hand and waved it, however his hand released an invisible fluctuation that assaulted everyone around him, causing them to fall in to a dazed and hypnotized state.

”You didn't see me. All of you will continue how you have been doing so far. I am completely invisible from all of your senses and any of your defenses and any activities that I do here, won't register to your brains. Am I clear?”

”Yes.” A soft and uniform response came from them, Raven nodded and snapped his fingers.
