Chapter 2601: Radiant Snow Fortress
It took less than ten seconds for everyone to fall into the groups; some groups are as small as five, and the other is as big as twenty-six, of which I am part.
Grand Commander is leading the group, and there are three other High Grandmasters beside me and Grand Commander. One of them is Lady Redhorn, the other is Lord Muske, and the last one is Lord Rivian, a buffy middle-aged man with a huge ax as his weapon.
It could be said that compared to the four of them, I am a little lacking in power, but what I do not have in power, I make up in different things.
"Young man, you seemed to be aware of these new Grandmasters?" asked Lady Redhorn. You can not underestimate these wily old foxes; even when she was shocked, she had noticed my reaction, and this old woman was very observant.
It is written in her file.
"Yes, I am part of the group that is helping to produce them," I replied to her shock.
The project will not remain a secrete after this mission, and the council has already decided on the info they will leak. Officially, they will say the minimum, but they will leak some trickle of information from here and there to control the information.
"So, are they any good?" she asked as she got her emotions under control, "They are very good," I replied, "Let"s hope so," she said and turned to talk to Grandmaster Muske, both of them seemed quite familiar with each other seeing the way they are talking.
Not all Grandmasters of the project are partic.i.p.ating in this attack; more than half of them have been replaced a few minutes ago with the others.
It is done not only due to their experience but also their abilities. We need every edge we can get in the attack, and for it, we have chosen the most suitable.
"It is time," said the Grand Commander, and a complex teleportation formation appeared beneath our feet. It is not just our group that had been covered in teleportation formation, but also the other group.
Buzz!
"Victory to us!" shouted the Grand Commander, and we disappeared. For a second, there was complete darkness, which was a sign we were traveling at a great distance.
The darkness lasted for a second before the light appeared, and we found ourselves in a snowy land. The temperature is very cold, but not for us, though it will freeze even kings within a few seconds, and only Emperors and above could resist this cold.
"Radiant Snow fortress!" said Lady Charise as she looked at the silhouette of a beautiful s.h.i.+ning fortress not far away from us.
"Their alarm system had already started blaring," said Grand Commander as she took the air and flew toward the snow-white fortress that is on the tip of the mountain, thousands of meters above the clouds.
Our speed is not fast; we are slow enough that even a common Tyrant will be able to catch us; since it is not a sneak attack, there is no need for us to be sneak; we will be slow, but not too slow, within a minute, we will reach the fortress.
"We are breaching the spatial zone," informed the Grand Commander and pa.s.sed through the spatial layer; I pa.s.sed through it with the rest of the High Grandmasters.
From now on, we will not be able to teleport; besides the Grand Lord, n.o.body would be able to tear the s.p.a.ce here, and even half-step Grand Lords will find it hard to tear the spatial boundary here.
Hun!
"My my, it seemed like they have quite powerful weapons here," said Lady Charise, and it might seem like she is making a joke, but those looking at her eyes will see how serious she is and are the rest of the High-Grandmasters.
This beautiful fortress had a weapon that could threaten us, and we will have been extremly careful, as Grimms have a habit of firing such weapons.
Soon, we reached the top, and the party was already waiting for us; seeing their numbers, some of the Grandmasters behind me shuddered; even I felt a spark of fear rising in my heart seeing their large numbers.
It is very clear that they were prepared for us.
"Oh ho, I should be feeling honored that Grand Commander of humans herself come leading the attack," said the Starlight Crockman with a laugh as he took a step toward us.
"I thought you guys would come the day we killed your Grand Lord, but you guys seemed quite patient," he added and as slowly took out the diamond blade by its waist.
Starlight Crockman Grasta; is an eight-and-a-half-meter-long Grimm Monster, with thick starry scales covering every part of its body. This Crockman is a variation; he is a single starlight crockman in the entire crockman tribe and is extremly powerful.
Those scales of it are unnaturally powerful; a decade ago, a very powerful human Grand Lord attacked it with his full power, and this b.a.s.t.a.r.d bore the attack without moving, and that attack had not even cracked a single scale on its body.
"Yes, it took time, but now we have come; we will not leave till you and your band are cut into pieces," she said, motioning to the fifty-four Grimm Monsters standing behind.
Of them, ten of them are High-Grandmasters, while forty-three are Grandmasters. It is an absolutely huge number. If not for the Grandmasters that the project has provided, this attack would have failed miserably for humans.
Their numbers are 20% greater than we have estimated, but we are still capable of handling them; some of us are even excited about it.
"You have quite an imagination, leader of humans; I wonder how your fell humans will feel when I eat you alive," it said languidly like it had all-time in the world, "You can sure dream, Grasta," snorted Grand Commander as she took a step forward.
"Whether it is imagination or truth, it will be known soon," it said, and a smile on its face turned murderous.
"Attack, the humans; not a single one of them should remain alive," It commanded, and a colossal aura burst out of its body; it was so strong that it froze the Grandmasters for a second.
"Come, leader of humans, show me what you have," it said and moved toward the Grand Commander, and it did not move alone a shadow Manstisman and Snow Werewolf, with a slightly weaker aura than it, moved toward her.
"Kill all the humans," said the Snow Bullman as it moved toward the Grandmaster Charise with Snakeman with near equal power.
"Zaar, we will kill you," said the two Rainbow Horned Lizardmen in unison as they flashed in front of me. They were twins but looked very different; one had a blue scaly body while the other had a white scaly body, only their horns were similar
"Oh, it is twins Jasd and Rasd; I had wanted to fight you two since I had leveled up to High Grandmaster," I said, and why wouldn"t I? These two are very powerful and possess deliciously powerful bloodlines.
Their different colors are due to their different bloodlines.
