Chapter 3561 Full Of Schemes
Right then, one of Gloria’s spies came and reported, “Lord Gloria, Floyd, Azure Dragon, and the other core members in Levi’s base had disappeared after Mr. Xylas left. I’ve already deployed the men in the vicinity to look for them, but it hasn’t been fruitful. What would you like us to do next, Lord Gloria?”
After pondering for a while, Gloria instructed, “Keep looking. While you guys are at it, be loud. If you guys still can’t find them in three days’ time, demobilize.”
“Yes, Lord Gloria!” After that, the spy cut off his contact with Gloria.
“What are you up to now, Master?” Xylas was puzzled.
He was wondering why would Gloria want to make a huge ruckus about finding them when she already knew where Levi’s underground defensive base was located. Wouldn’t that expose our spies? What if Levi finds them and kills all of them out of anger? Wouldn’t we waste all the elite spies we’ve trained? That would be such a waste of resources.
Gloria chuckled coldly and answered, “The underground defensive base is Levi’s last support. Hence, he would think that he could hide all his friends and family there, and they would be safe.
However, I know exactly where they are. Once I’m done devouring the deviant clans’ spiritual ley lines, I’ll attack the underground defensive base first. By doing so, I’ll unsettle his troops once again. I want him to think that no one knows where they’re hiding.”
Instantly, Xylas understood Gloria’s plan. If we expose the spies, Levi would think that we don’t know where his underground defensive base is located.
Meanwhile, Master doesn’t need to put herself at risk because I can wipe out all of them on my own. Darn that Evie! Once I’m done devouring a few more spiritual ley lines, I’m going to kill her with ease.
You’re full of schemes, Master! I’m so impressed.” Xylas was getting better at fawning over Gloria.
In the underground defensive base, Azure Dragon and the others finally overcame their traumas, albeit not entirely. It was because of Zoey’s comforting words and their own efforts.
Although the morale was still unfavorable, they were already helping the others in setting up the defense system in the underground defensive base.
When they were on a break, Floyd, Azure Dragon, and the rest had gathered up.
Phoenix said, “Boss said that it’s now safe to assume Xylas had indeed learned his technique from the mysterious woman.”
Everyone’s expression turned grim when they heard that. Within a month, Xylas’ ability had increased so rapidly that only Boss could stand against him. That’s scary.
Black Tortoise then mumbled, “Based on how fast Xylas’ ability had increased, will we see the day when even Boss is no match for him?”
Everyone kept mum, and their expressions turned even grimmer.
As much as they didn’t want to admit it, there was a big chance of that happening.
“Perhaps I’m just overthinking,” Black Tortoise uttered awkwardly because he realized he had misspoken.
Indeed, it was one thing to think about such a thing, but saying it out loud was entirely different.
“You’re not overthinking. There’s a possibility that could happen,” Kirin uttered hoarsely.
Again, everyone went silent. Our enemy is getting stronger by the second, and they have even come to our base to taunt us. Yet, there’s nothing we can do about it. Our hands are tied.
Their morale was taking another hit when they thought about that.
Azure Dragon clenched his fists so hard that his nails dug into the flesh of his palms. He didn’t even realize it when blood was already flowing out of his clenched fists.
At the same time, Floyd let out a sigh and thought about how useless he was. I can’t even protect myself. How am I supposed to protect Gloria?
“Floyd, you’re spacing out. What are you thinking about?” Phoenix suddenly asked.
