Chapter 3355 The Invincible Clan Got In On The Act
Such was his eagerness for the Ecclesiastic Order to surprise him that it got even North Pavilion concerned.
His anticipation in that regard had indeed, at the same time, contributed to an overall increased sense of complacency.
Having ascertained the identity of the enemy and the timing of their impending incursion, coupled with the belief in his own capability, naturally made him flippant about it.
To some extent, he even contemplated lazing around until the enemy eventually showed up at his doors.
Having seen the situation play out exactly the way she expected, Gloria’s brilliance had to be acknowledged.
With the sole exception of her inability to get a handle on the extent of Levi’s prowess, her predictions in all other aspects had been largely spot-on.
“Master! Should we have Zoey and Evie go into hiding when the time comes? I don’t doubt your capability, but my primary concern is whether they could potentially become a distraction if you kept them close. What if the four factions’ cornerstone divine tools are as formidable as they are reputed to be…” Floyd reiterated his thoughts on the issue.
Reflecting upon that, Levi concurred with a nod. “Yes. You have a point there. I’m not actually that worried about Evie who is more than capable of holding her own, but the others might end up causing Evie and myself to lose our focus!”
“When the time comes, Master, I and some of our guys will fight alongside you. Shall we make some preparations so that we may hand them a trouncing they’d never see coming?” added Floyd who was also hungering for battle.
Levi waved him off. “That won’t be necessary. You shall seek refuge alongside Evie and the rest as it’d be better if I handle things myself!”
“I… all right, Master…”
Initially insistent on assisting his master, Floyd backed down in consideration of the limitations of his own abilities.
I have to become stronger! That is the only way I can relieve Master’s burden, avenge Azure Dragon and the other, and make myself worthy of Gloria!
He thought that he was still a long way off from where she was at and shall have to train much, much harder in order to keep up.
“All right. All of you don’t have to go anywhere else as I’ve already built a subterranean palace here. You can all hide yourselves inside!” said Levi.
“Huh? There’s a subterranean palace here?” Floyd gasped.
“Yeah, I had it built a long time ago, but never thought that I’d ever find a need for it. To think it would unexpectedly come in handy at this very moment!” replied Levi with a laugh. “All right then, everyone, begin preparations for your descent. After this, I shall look to give our foes a proper welcome!”
Elsewhere, Gloria felt that she had still yet to do enough.
If only I could get Invincible Clan on board.
She was, however, unable to reach them as Invincible Clan had become extremely reclusive of late.
“Shall we try spreading the word in Gerton to see if the Cetus would come?”
Better known as Invincible Clan, that particular group in question was really called the Cetus, a name few actually knew of nor hailed them by.
That was something Gloria, who had numerous precious artifacts connected to them, such as tokens or markers used to contact them, understood well.
“Get all of these out and scatter them all over Gerton. I reckon that the Cetus would eventually get in touch with us. When they do, tell them everything that there is to know about our plans to take on Levi Garrison!”
In any case, Gloria thought it worth a try to greatly improve the odds of success.
It had to be said that that move by her ultimately paid dividends when the news that was spread in Gerton did reach the ears of the Cetus.
“What? The Ecclesiastic Order intends to take on Levi?”
The enthusiasm of the council members of the Cetus was piqued the minute they got wind of it, and it showed from the fire in their eyes.
How could they not be intrigued with the lot of them screaming for Levi’s blood?
“Master told us to stay put and warned us against messing with Levi for the time being!” said some of them who brought up the instructions from their leader.
That prompted a shift in everyone else’s expressions.
“This time though, the four factions are going to bring out their cornerstone divine tools. It is they who are going to be the primary force! On our part, we need only strike from the shadows if and when the opportunity presents itself!” someone else said.
“You’re absolutely right about that. When the time comes, all we have to do is observe and react accordingly! We won’t have to do anything in the event Levi proves to be too strong but should he falter, hehe…”
