Chapter 818 - Next Plan
In the middle of the tower, fourteen people were discussing the solution to this situation. Eight of them were the representatives from the surface, including Alex and Anya. Four of them were the kings of the four kingdoms in this place, while the other two were Shakdi and another G.o.d.
"We have decided to enter the gate according to your plan. Because of the situation, the Freedom Sect and the Divine Kingdom have promised to build a tunnel toward this place. At that time, we will rely on you in creating a hole, so everyone can enter." Shakdi informed him about their meeting.
Alex nodded. "Leave that matter to me."
"The remaining influences will keep the monsters in check. And you shall not bring any 10-Star Martial Saint monster down."
"Why?" Alex furrowed his eyebrows.
"It"s simple. Their 10-Star must have a connection with the hosts there. If we kill them, they will know. That"s why we will only kill those monsters after we kill the remaining seven parent monsters here."
"Alright. I can guarantee that my Spirit Nest won"t kill it." Alex nodded. "Still, three years is the limit. Any more than that, the morale and our resources won"t be enough to stop them. At the same time, from what I have understood, the monsters coming here are relatively weaker monsters.
"Seeing that the other world is a Divine World, 10-Star Martial Saint is nothing but a grain of sand on a beach. The longer we take, the more monsters we need to face. Hence, it"s better to settle it within three years."
"Yes. That"s our plan right now. No matter what sacrifice do we need to make, we shall kill the seven parent monsters within three years." Shakdi nodded with a serious expression. "Besides, just like your plan, we will only have those 5-Star Martial Saints or below to enter. We have fought them in the past, so we know they are going to concentrate their force here, so the elites coming from seven influences will surely be able to hold them for several days."
Alex nodded. "How many days do you think everyone can hold on? I am not saying they are weak, but if they need to fight against twenty or thirty 10-Star Martial Beasts, I think it will be insane, right?"
Shakdi glanced at their expression and nodded. "Yeah. And I believe they can safely hold the enemies back for a week. More than that, the loss will be too big."
"In that case, we shall clear it within a week. It"s not like the seven gates have a difficulty like the s.p.a.ce Gate, so I believe it won"t be that hard. Of course, I am not underestimating them." Alex smiled.
"The problem is who will enter each gate?"
Alex thought for a moment and glanced at Anya. "Anya."
Anya nodded and stepped forward. "Spirit Nest will take the Fire Gate. As you already know, we have Alex"s Pure Fire, so this will be giving us a tremendous advantage. Drunken Pavilion will take the Water Gate since you have been dealing with so many wines… Just kidding.
"I believe the Lightning Gate suits the Divine Kingdom the most. Although most of the monsters here have powerful strength, with how organized they are, they will most likely bring them down with a good strategy.
"The Ancient Blue Family will take on the Earth Element. They have a powerful defense, you have an overbearing offense. Don"t tell me you can"t fight them, right?
"Freedom Sect will take the Light Gate. I know that you have many experts in light elements, so they are most likely to understand the monsters behind this gate. The Dark Gate will be put to Phantasm"s Sect. I don"t know about your weaponry, but since you have a good weapon from your heart, it means your heart is strong. Illusion won"t work on you while Curse can be broken as long as you make some preparations. You have a strong heart to resist the curse to a certain degree anyway, so good luck.
"Lastly, Blackwade Clan will take on the Elementless. To be honest, this is the most concerning thing. Although the monsters here don"t know how to use Element, their physical ability is far beyond the other gate. You have a huge wallet, so if you equip your people with good items, I believe they can take this gate down. Besides, you will surely get more if you kill those monsters outside, right? So, don"t be a cheapskate." Anya finished a.s.signing everyone"s task.
And yet, not a single of them could say anything. The people from the four kingdoms or Shakdi himself were confused by their actions.
If he probed why they became like this, they would certainly say Alex is a monster. He perfectly described everyone"s strength and how the fight should go in an instant. No, it was Anya, instead of Alex.
They were wondering if the plans they had seen in the past came from Alex or her. If it turned out those plans came from both of them, no wonder the Spirit Nest could destroy Fire G.o.d Clan and Snow White Mountain.
"Thus, the distribution. Do any of you have an objection?" Alex smiled. He took pride in their shocked expression because everyone knew how powerful his wife was.
The six influences thought for a moment and shook their head. "We are perfectly fine with the arrangement."
"Then I will tell you what we will do when you challenge the tower." Shakdi nodded and continued. "First of all, I am going to turn off the tower. Without any protection from this tower, the monsters will surely come here. However, it"s a necessary thing because we need that energy to close the portal later and seal the entrance completely."
"At that time, our four kingdoms shall be the strongest s.h.i.+eld for the tower." One of the kings added with a nod.
"Yes." Shakdi nodded. "I am leaving it to you."
"If that is the case, the monsters will be going to this place, right? Then I think it"s better for the disciples on the surface to start cleaning up the monsters before making their way toward this place. What do you think?" Alex asked.
"Yeah. That"s my plan. We will pincer them from two sides and thoroughly eliminate them." Shakdi nodded in agreement.
"I want to inform you about one thing then. All the people from my Spirit Nest will be going with me inside. Of course, I will bring some Array Plates for you guys so I can still help despite not being with you." Alex smiled. He was going to practice Array after this, so his Array Plates could still be considered training. That was why he didn"t mind sharing them. In any case, they would be a perfect rank 8 Arrays anyway, so the other influences surely wouldn"t reject it.
"Now that I think about it, your Spirit Nest… Isn"t it a small group of elites? Before coming here, I took a glimpse of their power and noticed the weakest were 7-Star…" Elizabeth glanced at Alex as she appeared to have some doubts.
"Do you want me to send them to help you?" Alex smiled.
"No…" Elizabeth wanted to say yes, but she couldn"t say it due to the fact it looked very selfish. Their number was already too few to begin with, so taking a few more from them would be considered as making trouble instead.
"I am planning to do that though." Alex smirked. "You can say that our Spirit Nest has some secrets about the s.p.a.ce Element. A few of them can teleport to any of our members, so if I see you have a problem in defeating your opponents, I might send them to help you. Besides, I don"t think the monsters in the Fire Gate will be a trouble for me, so three days is enough for me."
The group furrowed their eyebrows. Shakdi smiled, never expecting Alex to have this kind of confidence. And yet, he precisely knew he wasn"t boasting, especially after destroying the monsters in the s.p.a.ce Gate. He was very weak back then too.
"I believe it"s better to receive his solution. I don"t care about your pride because the world will be destroyed if we lose this war. I hope the rest can accept this. If you want to hate someone, you can hate me because I am the one forcing you to accept this condition." Shakdi helped Alex in persuading them.
"How can we…" The other leaders were startled to see Shakdi acting like this. A proud s.p.a.ce G.o.d turned into a humble person in front of Alex. They couldn"t comprehend Alex"s secret that allowed him to do such a thing.
"We… We understand." In the end, they agreed to put their pride down.
"I will send Letizia to aid the Water Gate. She is a Pure Ice Element, and I believe three years later, she should have reached at least 3-Star under my tutelage. Leoz will be helping the Earth Gate. He is the most powerful guy in terms of attack power.
"Jean will be helping the Lightning Gate. Although his element is water, he is a bit special because it won"t conduct electricity. I believe this should make your team stronger. As for the Light… I will just send you Artur. He is a special guy. A bit dumb, but he is strong and understands the matter clearly. I believe he can help you.
"As much as I want to send Nelson to the Dark Gate, Anya will be more suited than him. She can remove poison and curse. But because of her ability, I will a.s.sign Greg with her as her personal bodyguard, so you guys don"t need to worry.
"Lastly, Jeanne will go to the last one. She will surely act her part. If she doesn"t, I will be super "Nice" to her. Just make sure you don"t mess around with her, especially throwing an insult about her stature. You are going to experience pain. I certainly guarantee you it won"t be a simple pain." Alex smiled. "These people will surely help you more than enough, so the rest won"t probably go unless the situation turns wrong."
The rest thought for a moment and nodded. Since Alex wanted to lend them his elites that seemed to have extraordinary power, they gladly accepted it.
"It is settled then?" Shakdi asked.
They looked at each other, confirming they didn"t have any more questions or objections, so they nodded their heads at the same time.
"Then, follow me. I will guide you to the tower"s treasury. You can choose anything you deem useful for the battle. As for the remaining ones, I will distribute them after we finish this problem. At the same time, the four kingdoms might probably come to the surface because they have served their purpose… As their ancestor, I feel relieved because I know my descendants can see the real sky and sun. I have troubled them too much for the past few thousand years." Shakdi sighed.
"No, no. Please don"t be like this. This world wouldn"t be safe if all seniors didn"t fight in the past. It is our duty as your descendants to protect the world." The kings immediately tried to soothe the sadness in Shakdi"s eyes.
"Thank you. That"s why I want all of you to go to the real world after this. And please take care of them…" Shakdi looked at the four kings first before turning to the other leaders.
However, before they replied, Shakdi had one last announcement he needed to make.
"After this, I will seal this tower Rank 9 Divine Array. Unless you have the necessary knowledge about it, you won"t be able to break it. At the same time, it"s better, so no one has thought about using this to disturb the peace.
"And since you have gotten yourself comfortable with the trial… I will try to see whether it is possible. Just come back when the next trial comes, the answer will be there." Shakdi certainly controlled the conversation because as soon as he finished his explanation, they had arrived in their treasury. "Now pick your items."
The group started roaming around, asking Shakdi so they could bring such an item. Of course, they tried so hard to suppress their greed for this time alone.
After another hour, the group finally left as Shakdi suddenly said. "In that case, I will teleport you to where you belong."
Shakdi clapped his hand and summoned a Teleportation Array, sending them either to the four kingdoms or the surface.
