Chapter 178: Plan (2/2)

The only problem that remained was how to let Goburou infiltrate the academy. Ed couldn't use Zero Sign for a long time. And, his dimension ability wouldn't allow him to locate the people he needed to save. He had to rely on Goburou.

”The academy will have an entrance exam next week. But, we have to send him as an heir to a kingdom allied with Blood sect.” Arthur explained some more. Ed felt that it was truly convenient to have the exam happen in one week. As for the issue of an allied kingdom, they only needed to intercept one of the carriages that are transporting such a person.

They continued to discuss some things about the powers and abilities of those that attacked Scale kingdom. After Ed heard enough, he left as he had some things to prepare for.

”Only me and Garu hunted the posts of Blood sect lately, but that is about to change. All of us will do so for the next week. We'll target the posts that are close to Scale kingdom. I'll fly around today marking the posts that will be attacked. Don't forget to take their spatial rings.” Ed was talking to his companions as he had summoned them all. He spoke to Goburou about his role in saving Scale kingdom. Of course, the latter had no issues except using makeup. Ed respected his wishes and allowed him to go however he wanted.

”Wait!” Before Ed left the room where he was speaking to his companions, a palm appeared in front of his face.

”Eavesdropping is not a good thing.” Ed could tell that he was being eavesdropped on, but he didn't mind as he knew who it was.

”We didn't eavesdrop; we made sure to close our ears,” Ellie said while looking to the side. Behind her, Emilia and Alicia were both there.

”I see. So you have no idea about the plan?”

”Yes. We don't know that you're attacking Blood sect posts!” Ed, Emilia, and Alicia immediately facepalmed. They knew that Ellie was innocent, but not to this degree.

”Forget what I just said.” Ellie realized she had messed up so she tried to wave it off as nothing happened. ”Anyway, we knew you've been doing it for a while now. You can't hide the smell of blood on you.” She said as she looked at Ed in the eyes. Ed had washed himself every day after a massacre, but Ellie could still pick up on the faint smell of blood.

”Let me guess. You want to help?” All three of the girls nodded furiously as Ed finished speaking. Ed sighed once more. He wanted to do the dirty work himself, but he knew that it would be better if they got used to fighting anyway.

”All right.” Ed assigned Emilia with Raikou, Alicia with Merry, and Ellie with Gobuta. The others were independent. It was time for another wave of killing.
