Armipotent - Chapter 1696: Fight Against The Void Cult (1)

Duke Amalric had a small meeting with his supporters the following morning. The meeting was to make sure that everything went well, including the assassination of the two strongest mercenary corps.

“Our teams tasked to kill The Reds and The Daenelis disappeared. I sent more people, but their buildings are empty. It seems like they left the city already, Sir.”

Marquess Benazet, the person in charge of killing the two mercenary corps reported.

“I have sent people to their servants. They told us that they were dismissed by them on the same night and did not know why they were getting dismissed. The servants also did not know where they left. My guess is that they leave the city because they don’t want to get involved, Sir.”

Duke Amalric clicked his tongue, but he was glad that the obstacle left the city, “Have you checked the Royal Family? We need to make sure they don’t side with The Royal Family!”

Count Fontanella raised his hand. He spoke when Duke Amalric consented, “I have checked with my spies inside the Royal Family. No one entered the Royal Family’s residence last night.”

Duke Amalric was relieved upon hearing that. He put everything into one basket in order to replace The Estanyol Family. He could not afford to fail his revolution.

The small meeting continued for another ten minutes before they dispersed. Everything they said was heard by The Daenelis Clan.

Khaya immediately split her team. She would follow Count Fontanella closely while the three Administrators and the Admin Helpers would follow the others. All of them were God Ranks. None of these people posed a threat to them except for the void creature. They only needed to prevent the summoning, and the mission should be easy.

*** ***

Early in the morning, The Royal Family’s Head Butler, Arkir was preparing to leave the city with his family. He missed his morning routine and disguised themselves as a group of merchants, leaving the city before the rebellion started.

Tang Shaoyang used Spirit Integration with one of his shadow spirits and followed them from the shadow. His Admin Helpers were tailing the group from afar.

As soon as the carriage was out of the city, they sped up. Following the main road, they rushed to the closest village to the city.

Arkir took a deep breath as soon as the carriage entered the village. The supposed to be a bustling village was void of noise. This was the closest village to the capital, one of the safest villages in the kingdom.

However, he smelled of blood, permeating from the building. As someone who spent his time fighting the undead and beast, he was familiar with the smell. As the carriage entered the village, someone came from the building.

This person was wearing a black cloak, covering his face with a mask. There was a symbol behind the cloak, a star inside a circle. There were inscriptions inside the star, something that Tang Shaoyang could not read. It looked like a language from another world.

Arkir was nervous as he stepped down from the carriage. He did not bring his family out first, approaching the man in the black cloak and bowing, “My name is Arkir, My Lord. King Sebastia orders me to follow your guidance!”

The man in the black cloak nodded and replied in a flat tone, “Hmm, we will leave Sulan as soon as the others arrive.”

Arkir was relieved. Of course, he knew who the others were. They were the people who followed Void Cult’s plan. There were three families with them. He turned around and was about to assure his family when the man in the black cloak stopped him.

“Wait!”

Arkir’s heart skipped a beat. Whenever he heard the man’s voice, he became nervous. He halted his steps instantly.

“Turn around!”

Following the order, Arkir turned around. The man in the black cloak did not look him in the eyes but looked down. He was confused at first and followed where this mysterious person looked. This person was staring at his own shadow which was weird.

“You are being followed!”

Arkir was confused, looking down at his shadow then looked at the man in the black cloak. He furrowed his brow, why would someone follow him? No one knew his role except for three people: King Sebastia, Count Fontanella, and Baron Navares.

His minimal contact was to ensure no one would find out King Sebastia’s plan. It was King Sebastia’s plan to incite the rebellion using the ambitious Duke Amalric. No one should find out about him.

Before Arkir could proceed with what happened, a person appeared from his shadow. His eyes widened in shock as he did not expect someone to hide in his shadow. When the person turned around, his pupils shook. It was The Reds’ Captain, Tang Shaoyang.

The person who was missing overnight turned out hiding inside his shadow.

The Reds’ Captain put the hand on his shoulder, and Arkir’s pupil constricted in terror. Arkir realized that he could not move his body, and he was pushed down with just one hand.

Everyone knew him as the head butler of The Royal Family, but in fact, he was the second Myth Rank in the Salyra Kingdom. He was one of the strongest in Sulan, yet he was subdued easily with just one hand.

Tang Shaoyang kicked Arkir in the chest, sending him flying next to the carriage. He made sure that the kick did not kill Arkir. He winked his right eye.

“Leave this place unless you want to die along with your family!”

Tang Shaoyang did not kill Arkir even though he was related to The Void Cult. That old man was used by The King and The Void King, there was no reason to kill him. He focused on the man with the black cloak.

“A mask with protection. It’s a pity I can’t see your face. I heard your people transplant Void Creature’s parts to your body. I am curious what you look like, really.”

The masked man sneered, “I don’t expect The System’s minions to sniff out our movement, but aren’t you too overconfident coming alone?”

Right after he said that more people came out of the houses. Eight people were wearing the same black cloak and mask.
