Chapter 438 Mutated Magical Beasts (1/2)
”Yang Ling, the Elder has once said that there could still be such precious Ancient Years Agarwood below the Northern Glaciers. If we could save him, we will be able to search for more of them in the Northern Glaciers again. Once we have many of these Ancient Years Agarwood, the advancement speed of your Magical Beasts would increase by a few folds, or even more than ten folds. You would have a large group of high-level Magical Beasts and level surpassing Magical Beasts!” Klive got even more anxious and threw out a large bait upon seeing Yang Ling's indecisiveness, even after receiving the Ancient Years Agarwood.
In order to deal with the instability of the Space Turbulence that happens once every five thousand years, the Church had already deployed away more than half of the elites in the Iron Edge Castle. The defense level of the Church was at its lowest for the past few thousand years. If they still couldn't successfully save the Great Elder and Great Priests of the dark, and the Great Commander of the Cavalry, they might never get the chance to ever again!
Yang Ling's Magical Beasts Army might be powerful and high-spirited. However, what's more important was that he had Divine-level Experts under him, which was crucial. Only the divine-level experts would be able to deal with the experts from the Church that stayed behind as guards so that it would provide the opportunity and time to save the Three Major Heads of the Dark. The reason why the Dark Association has failed time and time again over the hundreds and thousands of years was that they didn't have any powerful divine-level experts. There were a few times where they almost succeeded, but the Church's divine-level experts just had to obstruct and destroy their plan at the defining moment.
Based on reliable sources, the Church had no other choices but to deploy the Divine-level Experts guarding the Iron Edge Castle to the stormy territorial waters due to the circumstances. However, in order to ensure that they succeed in their mission, they would still need Yang Ling's military help, no matter what it may cost! Even if the divine-level Warrior Guards and Fabris under Yang Ling wouldn't take part in the battle, it would already be enough if they were able to get Elder Brent's help.
After all, the Dark Association didn't lack normal knights and spellcasters. They were just in urgent need of a true expert! Even a Divine-level Expert that had just advanced to the divine-level would still be able to go against ten-odd or even a hundred-odd Domain Peak Experts. Not everyone has Yang Ling's freakishly powerful Ice-sealing Armor and Ground Guardian, nor the terrifying lethal poison and Restriction!
”Alright, when do we act?” Yang Ling finally came to a decision after deliberating for a moment.
Since most of the elites in the Iron Edge Castle had already been deployed elsewhere and there's no longer any Divine-level Expert guarding the castle, they are now more confident that they could break-through the Iron Edge Castle by joining their military forces. If they were able to save the Great Elder, Great Priest, and the Great Commander of the Cavalry, who were also known as the Three Major Heads of the Dark, the Dark Association's strength would increase indefinitely with the addition of three powerful Divine-level Experts. It would also greatly benefit his own Magical Beasts Territory.
When that happens, they would not only gain a dependable ally but also greatly decrease the pressure on the Magical Beasts Territory that was caused by the Church. When they have completely destroyed the Church, they will gain a powerful and able ally.
While the Dark Association was lacking greatly in the best experts, the Magical Beasts Territory were also actually facing the same issue. The speed of recovery for Elder Brent's Divine Power was slow, and they still couldn't depend on him alone to fully protect the Magical Beasts Territory. Although they had boasted their abilities and tricked the Church into thinking that they have a powerful family behind their backs to deter them from acting recklessly, they wouldn't be able to keep this up for long. They would have to reveal the truth if they wanted to stabilize their power!
In this case, they were not ready as he hadn't advanced to a Soul Wizard, and neither could he tame a Divine-level Magical Beast. Hence, it would be truly necessary to seek a dependable ally. Although the Dark Association doesn't have any supreme experts now, their situation would improve quickly once they save the Three Major Heads of the Dark.
Providing timely and crucial assistance is way better than adding icing to the cake!
If they were to lend a helping hand to the Dark Association during their toughest time where they require the most assistance, they might receive a generous return in the future. After they have succeeded, they would become dependable allies just by strengthening their cooperation in other areas to tie their core benefits together.
Elder Klive was elated and secretly relieved that it has been a fruitful trip when Yang Ling promised to provide his military assistance. After discussing the action plan, he left feeling agitated and prepared to attack officially ten days later.
An opportunity that happens once every five thousand years. If they were to miss it, they might never get another ever again! To ensure that they would be able to save the Tutor Great Elder and the rest, he decided to deploy all his usable resources. He took out the Dark Staff that had been buried underground for many years in preparation to remove the seal from the bodies of the Three Major Heads of the Dark.
”Yang Ling, it was rumored that the Iron Edge Castle is where the jail where the Church holds the most dangerous criminals. It is heavily guarded and would be difficult to attack. If we were to deploy our troops to attack with the Dark Association, would we…” Yuna was deeply troubled as Yang Ling promised to aid Elder Klive in military strength, worried that they would lose much of their military strength in the Iron Edge Castle.
”Hehe, the more criminals they have, the better! Once we release all of them, wouldn't we be creating a large number of enemies for the Church?” Yang Ling smiled at the Yuna, who looked troubled, ”Let's go and see how different are these heavy Ancient Years Agarwood from the Star Metal!”
Yang Ling said as he led the group into the Wizard Pagoda's Space and quickly found the busy Orc Priest Augustus. In the beginning, he had prepared to build a Beast Soul Altar in the Wissen Castle. However, he decided that he might as well change the location to the Wizard Pagoda's Space after many thoughts.
As compared to the Wissen Castle, the Wizard Pagoda's Space no doubt possessed great advantages. It was near the Magical Beasts Base that was like a primal forest where they could catch all sorts of Magical Beasts for experiments at any time. Once the news was sealed, even if they were to catch a few large dragons and refine them into a guinea pig, it wouldn't create chaos among the people, and they also wouldn't have to worry about people who wanted to spy on his secrets.
