Chapter 214 Moonrose"s big secret revealed! The beginning of mission sure is loud! Brother Paranoid doesn"t like it! Shut up!
After the second young master had checked whether everyone knows everything, the group of around fifty people began moving. Compared to the usual movement of the clans and empires overall, this group was truly small.
Size similar to black devil team!
They were moving in strict formation all the way towards Violae Empire"s eastern border. The most "important" people were in the middle of the group while the generals were scattered around them, their awareness released to the fullest looking around for enemy movement.
Xue Ren together with his "familiar" generals took the left side of this formation. Just looking from above would be enough to realize that if something happens, they are going to be the first ones to engage in the battle and fight for others!
The so "more trustful" ones were in the deeper part of the group which caused Xue Ren to let out chuckle that was only audible for Little Moonrose. All because the air of uncertainty and hostility could be easily felt around few of his "friends".
"Already feeling tense? Or there is something bigger going on?"
In the end, he was one of the new generals. Without many connections, Xue Ren could only guess inwardly... If he had open eyes, then he would already be looking at the Henste who was in the middle of their own formation...
-
The Violae Empire was territory that wasn"t pleasant for humans. The soil was darker than anything, and nature itself felt like corrupted! Moonrose who saw the dark trees and yellow leaves, muttered quietly "not fluffy" and buried herself in the black, pleasant smelling hair of her big brother.
Xue Ren who was here many times already had seen the dark violet sky here. It was obviously man made sky, so that those demonic idiots could feel closer to the h.e.l.l world... The group of his was moving rather quietly and sneakily pa.s.sed the borders...
"Or they made it so that they can feel better and more confident."
After adding his not significant comment, Xue Ren shook his head. If the sky could boost one"s power, then every empire would somehow change it. The hand, holding the black soul sword tightly calmed down as the group decided to rest here.
"We will rest for a while before moving once again!"
The commander, the second young master sent his mind transmission to everyone! Xue Ren took out his tent and quickly unfolded it, taking his silver kid inside. It was big one, comparable to the one Eleonora had taken out during their own little journey!
"Hah~~ I told you it would be better if you stayed in my house, Little Moonrose."
The sad face was not fluffy! Moonrose looked at him with pout which caused Xue Ren to let out wry smile. He played with her cheeks for so long, that Moonrose cried saying!
"I will tell you my s-secret if you stop!"
It was too ticklis.h.!.+ But Xue Ren hearing her words got stupefied. When he was her age, did he have any secrets? No... he was rather too childish compared to her! Looking down, he chuckled as curiosity was heard in his voice.
"So? What kind of secret is it?"
"Big gates appeared in my head!"
"..."
"Gates?"
"W-what gates? How do they look like?"
The talk between them already was going through the mind transmission. Xue Ren had taught her it in one hour as Moonrose is fast learner. She literally learnt everything he has taught her as if absorbing or reminiscing!
"Big and scary, but they don"t feel scary at all!"
"I see. Have you told this to someone else?"
"No! It"s secret!"
"Then it will be our secret, alright?"
"Yes!"
He held her tightly as she went sleeping. Not only he has met G.o.ddesses and got intimate with them, but now, he was raising the G.o.ddess... What kind of destiny it is?! Xue Ren who had Uris" memories kinda had mixed emotions going around his head right now.
The third obviously hated the destiny as he was number two in everything he had practised.
"But now... It"s different."
The destiny has been reversed~~
-
Cadere Clan has researched the h.e.l.l"s energy thoroughly as they are enemies for a long time with Violae"s Empire. Thus, it wasn"t that hard for them to actually create an artifact that could feel the waves similar to the ones Violet Portals mostly releases.
Using this artifact, they were searching for the violet portals that are going to soon open and enter it first if possible. But the latter was clearly impossible in more than 90% precent. That was also why they couldn"t rest for a long time and had to be on the move incessantly.
So that the group of theirs won"t stumble upon demonic forces.
Then, after a several days of boring and dull runs, the artificat shone with bright violet light!
"Finally..."
"Prepare yourselves!"
The second young master quickly reorganized the people around him. Xue Ren was also under his orders, thus, his body naturally landed on the front together with Henste and crew. The generals bit their lips and took out their weapons.
Cadere Clan mostly focused on gathering people who are familiar with weapons. It was main reason for Xue Ren to go here. He as well summoned his black sword which for onlookers, looked as if he took it out from his s.p.a.ce Ring.
The sight of Violet Portal greeted them as the artifact in the second"s hand shone to the brighest degree possible. But why was it that they hadn"t happy smiles, but rather tense ones?
"h.e.l.lo there~~"
The demonic man who had similar look and voice to the one who had attacked Xue Ren and Eleonora in the Cursus Continent spoke. His way of speaking just reminded Xue Ren about that b.a.s.t.a.r.d that forced him to use throne"s power...
And like the demonic man from before, the Violae"s leader in front of them spoke with leisure as he had whole army behind himself... Under their feet, the huge formation strengthening them and the portals itself was activated causing their h.e.l.l"s energy to go on the rampage!
"They are using their own people to boost themselves."
The leader and his "generals" had the positive effects of this formation while the rest obviously twisted their bodies in immense pain, screaming incessantly.
"For.. empire... for the emperor... so that our lord can bring us salvage!"
""For The Empire! For The Emperor! For The Lord!"
There were two kinds of shouts. One filled with pain and hope, while others filled with hostility and killing intent! Xue Ren who already could open his eyes and peek at the leader, thought inwardly...
"The will to sacrifice its own people for gain..."
It was significant aspect for leader. And Xue Ren, whether with past life coming from Uris or not, simply couldn"t abandon his maids... The losses that he had experienced with them in the past were repaid with countless amount of madness, painting the territories with black blood.
Actually, even Uris as head of his own family had been taking everything on his shoulders, going into wars alone as the representative of his family... Only after his wife had taken control over this as she began going together with her husband to the meetings of Seven Divine Weapons Alliance, the stupid family head could experience the sight of his "brothers", sons and daughters bravely fighting for their home and world proudly showing their family"s crest.
"Even after all this time, I am not used to this pain..."
The pain of losing one"s family...
He truly wasn"t used to it, as even with Uris" memories, Xue Ren couldn"t suppress his madness after losing Duan Qiu.
"How can this be?!"
"We were so vigilant! How did they know about us after all preparations?"
Then, the second young master and first miss suddenly and loudly shouted. As mentioned earlier, there were two kinds of shouts. One belonging to the pained and sacrificed soldiers, then other that wasn"t coming from the leaders, but the army that was surrounding the shocked and fl.u.s.tered Cadere Clan members...
"Finally here?"
It was Xue Ren who had called them! There was no problem with sacrificing such people.
