Evolution: Conqueror - Chapter 148

Thann’s End,

Janetta’s POV,

In a blink of an eye, a secret deal was completed in the Moongret’s castle.

Using the death of the late bishop, Anthony led the church on a witch hunt.

Several hidden powers began to move, and my crew got a place. Except for Shev who almost lost his life in a gang fight last night.

Although he escaped, he shed a large pool of blood and almost lost the Item.

This was something that would help us mess up the whole power play in this ‘Town’.

The count himself sent out 400 men and the church holds up to 600.

They want to search Thann’s End for the killer before chasing the Heretic if he or she made it outside.

Mind you, the Bishop died five days ago!.

Apart from Davis Fairchild, everyone else was happy, and a big case like this might have shocked the citizens but wasn’t surprising to the nobles, in fact they were more interested in exploiting the church for their support.

in addition to the church, there was another person who suffered a big loss in this situation. That was Ser Brittle.

Ser Brittle just lost his most important backer.

Brittle Stanfield is but a lowly knight, who is surprisingly not serving the Moongret clan.

And from what I hear, he has been busy in the streets of thann’s End for a long time and is well respected or feared.

Everything illegal had to go through him and his people first, there he would then take his ‘cut’ before distribution to it’s owner.

Now the Bishop was dead, He wouldn’t be able to sleep at night. I heard that people could still hear him yelling and ranting while being holed up at home.

I’m almost tempted to carry a whip and beat him, but he’s well guarded.

‘I still need to kill him though, before anyone else does’.

I watched the patrol team harass a woman on the streets and a sneer made it’s way to my face.

“Janetta, our men just told me about an execution. It’s a perfect opportunity to kill Anthony, just like the Master wanted!” An excited but wounded Shev came up the stairs as he spoke.

“It’s a trap” I rolled my eyes impatiently, “besides, He told us to wait”.

Black moon is presently embroiled in battle and Torug hasn’t given any other message besides us watching Davis and the knight Frank.

At this time, Cail walked in with this week’s supply of mana dust. Majority, are to be sent to Torrelsav while the other batch would be sent to their old gang.

The reduced portions are meant to attract them to what’s happening here.

“I’ve counted them and everything is accounted for, it’s just that the lockdown on the gates… Are causing problems” the man wasn’t as timid as before and he has been trying to adapt to the changes.

I glanced at him, finally peeling my eyes from the window as I said,” It’d be opened soon, as long as we don’t do anything during this execution”.

“Alright…” He responds calmly before leaving once more.

Shev on the other hand was disatisfied, so I said to him, “you had better relax and recover, we might get the order to kill him anytime from now.

Even if we went now, How are you going to fight with this injury!”.

As I spoke, I pointed at his bandaged body with an incredulous expression.

“…”

“Yea… that’s what I thought”I sneered, this something I’ve been doing a lot lately, I’ve been very irritable.

What She didnt know though, was that, I’ve been discussing the matter of recruiting or placing someone inside the Moongret castle, so I wasn’t really in rush to do anything further without the Chief’s explicit order.

Suddenly the atmosphere became eerie as green miasma began oozing out of Shev’s head for a second and Torug’s voice could be heard, “Tell me everything that has been happening for the passed one week”.

__________

[A brillant victory!]

[Under your command, you and your army won. As the war has come to an end.

You get one silver treasure chest.]

There is no change in my expression as I sat next to Alpha as those without injuries began taking care of the fortress.

A goblin was soon caught pretending to be injured by TuTu, so he got a beat down.

I then looked at the busy Serfs…

In this battle, a lot of my clansmen were seriously injured, especially towards the end of the battle. As for minor injuries, everyone was injured.

On the bright side, we have such a low casualty is still surprising, maybe because a lot on our side were already at the second circle of evolution.

Although, If it weren’t for Vass’s powerful force and how quickly she destroyed the enemy gate, there would have been a lot casualties from those who snuck in.

“Brother, a few of our key riders were injured too badly, I am afraid they can’t be useful for at least four months!.” Urim appeared so suddenly and sadly said.

The development of medicine in the clan is very slow. In many cases, it is necessary to rely on some rare materials for treatment.

“Take me over, I want to see.” I said directly.

Soon I saw the four of the seriously injured riders. The wounds on them were mostly lacerations.

‘Judging from the aura, These should be caused by a Second circle orc warrior with a saber. Should be at least two meters tall and stronger than the average second circle orc .

The most serious wound was a cut to a chest, a rather big cut, and two of the riders ribs were broken, probably from a fall.

Through the wound, we could see that the internal organs are squirming. Such a serious injury, it’s a miracle he’s still alive.

If the wound was slightly deeper, it is estimated that he will die on the spot.

I raised my palm, and an eeire green light began to converge on my hand.

In the next second, it rushed into the warrior’s body and healed him slightly.

At least, it stopped the bleeding

“Take some warriors and quickly take them to Dabok for healing” I quickly ordered Urim as I used my mana to relieve them slightly.

Although the wound on the riders did not heal, their lives weren’t in danger anymore.

At least, I have pulled the three warriors back from the brink of death, while waiting for Urim to return, I applied makeshift bandages to them, so that they would be carried back to the Clan to recuperate.

The fire in the fortress of was gradually extinguished sometime in the night. The prolonged fire burned the surrounding walls and ground. It was not until the later that we dismantled the simple buildings or rather their skeleton, and began to burn the corpses inside.

all kinds of charred corpses were piled up outside the Fortress to be burnt, and the air was soon filled with the smell of barbecue.

We were busy all day and night before we had a small feast.

I intend to stay around the fortress for a while until it’s up and running, I’m also considering who to leave in charge of this place.

But then, I was soon reminded of how small my inner circle was.

“So much to do….”
