Chapter 676
“Mhm.”
James nodded, “All our intelligence reports point toward a single man.”
“Who?”
Henry and Levi were perplexed.
“Commander-in-chief of the Red Flame army, the Emperor.” James uttered grimly.
“What?”
They exclaimed in shock.
Stunned, Henry asked, “The Emperor? How can that be? He’s a Solean. Are you saying he planned all this just to
get you killed?”
“I’m afraid it’s not as simple as that.” James wore a solemn expression.
He still could not figure out what the Emperor was up to.
He only knew that he was on the move.
Back then, during the incident at Mt. Thunder Pass, he was forced to head into a trap after Henry had been
kidnapped and fought against the elite fighters from the twenty-eight nations. The mastermind behind this incident
was the Doctor King.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe Doctor King, a.k.a, Jonathan Harris was one of the Emperor’s men. Ronald’s findings revealed that Jonathan
and the others were secretly constructing a research laboratory in Cansington. The laboratory was heavily guarded
by troops, which were suspected to be part of the Red Flame army.
Henry asked, “What should we do then?”
James was deep in thought.
He believed that the Emperor had a grand scheme and now, James’ existence had become inconvenient.
However, the Emperor could not kill him while he was within the borders of Sol.
To get rid of him, the Emperor went to great lengths by devising a grand plot. This was all for the sake of killing him
on the battlefield. As long as the King of Sol did not pursue matters further, he would not be suspected of the Black
Dragon’s demise.
After a brief moment, James spoke, “Now that we know the identity of the mastermind, it’s made things easier for
us. The objective of the Emperor is to kill me. The allied forces of the twenty-eight nations are led by their generals.
Once we kill them all, the enemy forces will be leaderless, Naturally, they would choose to retreat. That way, we get
to resolve the current crisis with as few casualties as possible.” “Kill the generals of the twenty-eight nations?”
Wearing a grim expression, Levi said, “This is no easy feat. The generals are currently in Southern Plains City,
where a three-million-army is garrisoned. Not even a fly could get in.
1/3
How are we supposed to kill them?”
James said nonchalantly, “We’ll think of a way eventually if put our brains together. Henry, your injuries are not
completely healed yet. You should stay behind and heal up. Levi, l’ll leave you in charge of Lavender Town.”
Henry frowned at the directive. “It’s dangerous there at Southern Plains City. They must have purposefully leaked
the intelligence to lure you there. Going there will simply fall into their trap.” Levi nodded in agreement, “Exactly.
Wouldn’t you just be walking into the enemy’s trap?” “Even so, I have to go.” James knew it was highly dangerous
for him to go to Southern Plains City. However, he had no choice.
If he could resolve this crisis by himself, he’d be able to prevent an all-out war. A war that would raze the populace
and see them turned to ash.
James did not wish to see bloodshed.
Levi hesitated for a brief moment and asked, “What do we do if you don’t return?” “If I don’t return, mobilize all
armed forces in our possession and take back Southern Plains City. We owe the citizens of Sol that, at least. The
enemy is after me. Once I’m killed, the allied forces of the twenty-eight nations will immediately retreat to their
borders. That way, the Black Dragon army can recover the lost territories without a fight.” Henry and Levi knew it
was impossible to change James’ mind once he had decided on something
Henry reminded him. “Please be careful.”
James flashed him a smile. “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. I’m not going there alone this time. I’ll be bringing the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmassassins I recruited in Cansington. They are the best of the best in their profession.” Hearing this, they were at
ease.
James turned to leave.
In a room in Lavender Town, many people gathered. The door opened.
James, in his black overcoat, walked in.
“James,”
“Hello, sír.” They greeted.
James scanned the assassins.
“I’m planning to infiltrate Southern Plains City and kill the generals of the twenty-eight nations. I want to resolve this
crisis without involving the citizens. I plan to bring you guys along. However, since it’s extremely dangerous there, I
won’t force you to come along.”
Think about it carefully. Come with me if you wish. Those who choose not to may return to Cansington and look for
Scarlett. Help her out and she’ll cover your paycheck.”
