Chapter 327: The Wicked Scheme of the Sly! (1/2)

Dark clouds covered the entire sky of Silver city and it was still spreading further, and soon after heavy rain started falling down.

In only a few seconds, the ground was already very wet and rainwater continuously flow down the sewer system, causing the water to go higher and higher.

Some places in the Silver city have even already experienced being flooded in just a few hours of the heavy rain.

As a result, transferring supply from the main warehouse of the Silver royal family to the Barracks and outpost became extremely difficult. The horse-pulled wagon has almost become useless, and hence they quickly decided to only use tamed Magical Beast instead. Those from the Gold Division who were already a few kilometers near the Silver city could only choose to stop and wait for the rain to stop. Though it was only on Commander Nov's side that was coming close to Silver City, as for Crown Prince Edward's side, the 3rd and 4th Gold Division was now sent into a panic trying to look for their Commander under this heavy rain, causing them to still remain far outside the Silver City.

Outside, the Silver city wasn't any different as well. Due to the heavy rain, the ground has become so muddy, just walking alone was already extremely challenging, not to mention start a battle during this weather. And with the ground turning soft, trees soon started to fall and even a few landslides are happening from here to there.

But, unlike the Silver royal family, the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance was still able to cope up with the rain due to their Flyingboats.

Despite the heavy rain, the preparation for battle has already started. Rows and rows of soldiers were being formed in front of the Silver city's south gate. Rows of cannons and crossbows were also being transported from the Flyingboats to the ground.

Obviously, this rain wouldn't be able to stop the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance and Snow Noble Household from starting the war. No matter what weather it would be, it was now time to finish this war against the Silver royal family.

Seeing this, the Silver royal family could only choose to send out their soldiers as well. They were the defending side, which means the time of the battle is entirely dependent on the attacking side. If they don't send out any soldiers now, then it would be too late for them to send any when the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance and Snow Noble Household finally decide to attack.

.....

Meanwhile, far from the west of Silver City, a black-colored raven called Messenger Raven, a much better Magical Beast than the Mail Bird, landed on the hands of a man wearing a dark-green battle mantle. Behind this man were two other men wearing a battle robe and a beautiful woman with purple hair.

These men were respectively Patriarch Arvin Williams, Patriarch Timothy Will, and Patriarch Jacob Will, and the woman was the 10th Vice-president of the Black organization, Barbara.

Behind them were 10 blue-colored Magic Array Formation with 100 Mages inside each Magic circle, silently chanting a Magic spell.

Patriarch Arvin Williams turned around and reported to Barbara the message he had received from the Messenger Raven, ”Your Excellency Barbara, the men we've secretly sent out to the Silver city through our secret connection has reported that they have finished the preparation for the trap. However, one location, which is the east side, seems to have gotten themselves into a big accident. Base on their investigation, one of our men seems to have betrayed us by exploding a Chaos stone or two and then stealing the rest before suddenly leaving.”

After hearing Arvin's report, Barbara replied, ”Did they find out who the traitor was?”

Traitors weren't any strange occurrence in the ranks of the Black organization, especially considering the fact that their organization is a gathering point of all the wicked, scheming, sly, and twisted people of the entire Celestial World. Of course, just like any organization, the Black organization has a way to counter this as well, which is the Oath that they have sworn before joining.

However, there are always times when some people would secretly claim to be members of the Black organization and would coincidentally be invited into a mission, and since it turns out that they weren't actually members, hence they can hurt and kill their comrades because the Oath they have supposedly sworn is ineffective against them.

Those kinds of people were only looking to make a profit for themselves, and once they find one, they would immediately kill everyone and take everything away with them. Such an example would be Chaos stones, since such kind of Magical resources would allow them to earn a lot of money.

Chaos stones are valuable Magical resources that cost 200 gold coins each by buying from the Crimson Rose Kingdom and would cost 500 gold coins each in their Underground World. And with 200 Chaos stones in each location, it's indeed reasonable for someone to think of stealing it from them.

It obviously never occurred to Barbara that there were actually no traitors, and rather it was Leo himself that has caused the so-called accident. How would she even be able to imagine that a mere 1 Star Mage could actually destroy one of their traps?

Well, the scene was so clean of evidence, that's why it's very hard to point the perpetrator to actually be someone else not part of the Black organization, considering as well that even the Silver royal family's soldiers weren't even able to find their secret trap despite sending 180,000 soldiers to turn the entire Silver city, including outside, upside down.

”Apparently, it seems to be too late for them to locate that person after a lot of time has already passed. And with the water of the sewer system rising every minute, it should be very difficult to continue the investigation.” Arvin assumed.

Barbara nodded in understanding. It was most likely like what Arvin has assumed. Anyways, it wasn't a problem, their trap wasn't just any ordinary trap, it was something much more bigger than what is seen on the surface. Aside from her, Ramos that has already left, Arvin, Timothy, and Jacob, no one else knew about their real trap, even their men who were setting up the trap doesn't know the exact trap aside from it being a Lesser Chaos Magic Array.

”Just keep making the rain heavier and heavier. We need to flood the entire sewer system of Silver city in order for those extra Chaos stones to spread all around the Silver city once we explode the Lesser Chaos Magic Array.” Barbara said to Arvin.
