Chapter 261  Before War

Three red ogres were standing before Dezmavas.

Their names were Vrogurk, Zorg and Ezuzir.

Vrogurk and his brothers met Dezmavas with one purpose.

They wanted to join him in destroying Nightshire City!

The people of Nightshire City had killed their brothers and sisters, so they wanted to seek revenge.

They wanted to kill all citizens of Nightshire City, and they wanted to make Nightshire City disappear from this world.

Blood for blood!

Because the people of Nightshire City had killed all their brothers and sisters, they would do the same.

This was the reason why they decided to join Dezmavas because he wanted to attack Nightshire City.

"So, you want to join us in attacking Nightshire City?" Dezmavas, who was sitting on a wooden throne, uttered.

"Yes." Vrogurk responded. "They killed all our brothers and sisters two months ago, so we want to seek revenge."

"That's right." Zorg and Ezuzir added. "An eye for an eye. Because they killed our brothers and sisters, we will kill them."

"Haha. I like these words." Dezmavas laughed happily before walking closer to them. "That is how a warrior should behave."

He then continued, "Because you want to seek justice for your late brothers and sisters, I will let you join us."

"Thank you, young lord Dezmavas." Vrogurk, Zorg, and Ezuzir said in unison.

"However, you need to follow my words because I don't want to make a single mistake. Can you do that?" Dezmavas inquired.

"We will follow your words, young lord Dezmavas." Vrogurk, Zorg, and Ezuzir said in unison again.

"Good! Good!" Dezmavas was satisfied with their answer. "Don't worry. I will give you a reward after conquering Nightshire City."

Of course, the reward was not Rainbow Pool. Rainbow Pool was so important, so he did not want to share it with them.

Vrogurk, Zorg, and Ezuzir exchanged a glance with each other before finally speaking, "Thank you, young lord Dezmavas."

"Hahaha." Dezmavas laughed happily after sitting on his wooden throne.

'With this, I have twenty-three followers at 3-star.'

He laughed louder.

----

The following morning, Ace and Scarlett brought Allan and his subordinates to the city guard headquarters.

They also introduced them to everyone because Allan and his subordinates would help them protect their city, so that everyone knew that they were not enemies.

After that, Scarlett asked Ace to take Allan and his subordinates to the training ground because she wanted to check the war preparations.

As Scarlett was checking the war preparations, Dezmavas checked his subordinates.

He also checked their hostages.

With Henry's help, they got two hundred hostages.

These two hundred humans were currently in cages.

These humans would help them destroy Nightshire City, so he ordered many magical beasts to guard the cages.

After checking everything, Dezmavas uttered, "Let's go to Nightshire City and destroy it."

"Destroy Nightshire City."

"Destroy Nightshire City."

"Destroy Nightshire City."

"Destroy Nightshire City."

One by one, his followers shouted before finally heading to Nightshire City.

"Nightshire City, I will conquer you today." Dezmavas' lips curled up into a grin.

----

City Guard Headquarters, Scarlett's Office.

This was very important information, so he had to tell her immediately.

"They have made their move?" Scarlett uttered. "How many are there?"

Ten people were in Scarlett's office. Nine of them sat on a couch while one was standing before her.

The blue-haired man standing before her was the captain of the spotter team, Vihaan.

Vihaan went straight to Scarlett's office after knowing that Dezmavas and his subordinates were heading to their city.

This was very important information, so he had to tell her immediately.

"They have made their move?" Scarlett uttered. "How many are there?"

"It's about twenty-five thousand." Vihaan did not know about the hostages because Dezmavas hid it. "The name of their leader is Dezmavas and some of them can transform into a human form."

"Dezmavas? Can transform into a human form?" Scarlett touched her chin.

"City mistress, I think twenty of them are at 3-star, while the rest are at 1-star and 2-star." Vihan was not sure about this because he and his team did not dare to get close to them.

"Tell the other members to go back. We will put up a barrier now." Scarlett uttered.

"Understood." After saying that, Vihaan left to tell his subordinates to return to their city.

Scarlett turned her head toward Captain Noah and uttered, "Captain Noah, ring the bell. Hide all children and old people in underground hideout."

"Roger." Captain Noah immediately left to ring the bell.

----

*Ding…Ding…Ding…Ding…Ding…Ding…Ding…

Everyone stopped what they were doing when they heard the sound of the bell.

'The bell rang seven times.'

They knew what it meant because Scarlett had told them about this when she gave an announcement several days ago.

Anyone who could not fight immediately headed to the underground hideout, while the adults went to city guard headquarters to protect their city.

"Mother, is our city going to be destroyed? Are we going to die?" a kid, who was heading to the underground hideout, inquired.

"City mistress and the others will protect our city." his mother responded, "Let's walk faster, so that we can pray to God immediately."

"Un." The kid nodded his head.

"Auntie Lexie, you must survive. You must not die." Alena did not want Lexie to die because she was her only family now.

"Don't worry. I won't die." Lexie would try her best not to die because she did not want to leave Alena alone in the cruel world.

Alena skimmed her surroundings and asked, "Where is big brother Ace? Why don't he come here?"

"He is prepa-" before Lexie had finished her words, Ace descended from the sky.

"Big brother Ace…" Alena rushed toward Ace.

Ace smiled softly before finally squatting. "Alena, don't worry. Everything will be fine."

"You have to protect auntie Lexie. You must not let her die." Alena tried her best not to cry.

"I promise to protect her." Ace responded, "Just wait for us in the underground hideout. We will pick you up after killing all the magical beasts."

Alena raised her right little finger. "Promise?"

Ace intertwined his right little finger with hers. "Promise."

Alena looked at Ace and Lexie. "Then I will wait in the underground hideout. Remember your promise."

Ace and Lexie nodded their heads.

After that, Lexie ordered her subordinates to take Alena to the underground hideout.

Right after Alena left, Ace's underlings appeared.

"Leader…"

"Leader…"

"Leader…"

One by one, his underlings greeted him.

Ace turned around to face his underlings. "I will give you two missions now."

All of his underlings paid attention to him.

"First, you have to protect Scarlett, Lady Lexie, Valeria and Layla." He spoke, "The second mission is you all must survive. I don't want any of you to die in this war."

He then continued, "We will stand at the top of the hierarchy in the future, so I want you all to know the feeling of standing at the top. Do you understand?"

"Understand." His underlings responded in unison.

Lexie, who was standing next to him, smiled.

'Standing at the top of hierarchy? He has a big dream.'

Of course, she did not make fun of his dream because everyone had the right to have a dream.

Ace then returned his attention to Lexie before finally speaking, "Let's go meet Scarlett and the others."

"Un." Lexie nodded her head.

They then headed to the city guard headquarters.

'Whatever happens, I will protect this city. I will make sure to kill all these magical beasts.'

Ace said in his head.
