“How did it go? What did you find out?” Northern King asked impatiently without waiting for the messenger to approach.

Though out of breath, the messenger did not dare delay reporting, “Credible news. Southern King dispatched his Ten Ruthless Warriors to question the Centuria.”

Northern King slapped his thigh in delight. “Excellent! Without Southern King and the Ten Ruthless Warriors, his Legions will not pose a threat to us! This is a rare opportunity, and we cannot let it pass! Mobilize the men!”

Northern King led the Northern Faction Legions out toward the Southern Faction.

Over the years, the Southern Faction had never dared attack the Northern Faction because Southern King had always been wary of Northern King and his Suicide Squad.

Similarly, the Northern Faction had never dared attack the Southern Faction because Northern King had always feared Southern King and the Ten Ruthless Warriors under his command.

With Southern King and the Ten Ruthless Warriors away, the Southern Faction had been left defenseless like a porcupine without quills.

Thus, the Southern Faction was putty in the Northern Faction's hands.

Northern King had planned everything. Upon arriving there, he would kill the warriors of the Southern Faction before disposing of the Elders to weaken the enemy's forces.

That way, it would be too late for Southern King and the Ten Ruthless Warriors upon their return.

Not long after, the party arrived at the camp of the Southern Faction.

Idle and unguarded, the Southern Faction Legions still had not the faintest whiff of danger. Even the sentries were asleep on duty.

They did not notice the battalion that was the Northern Faction Legions, even when they arrived within a kilometer of the Southern Faction's base.

Northern King's plan was going much smoother than he expected.

The army edged closer to the Southern Faction's base. Nine hundred meters. Seven hundred. Five hundred...

Only when they were less than three hundred meters away did the people of the Southern Faction realize their presence.

Until that moment, the sentry of the Southern Faction had not noticed any danger.

“Halt! Who goes there?” he shouted at Northern King, not recognizing him.

“We are the Northern Faction Legions,” Northern King hurriedly answered, “here to see the Southern King.”

“I see,” the guard said coldly. “Have you made an appointment with him?”

“No,” Northern King said simply.

“Nobody is allowed to see Southern Master without an appointment,” the guard declared. “Kindly depart at once.”

“My trip here is to make said appointment,” Northern King explained.

“Then I'm afraid you're here at a bad time,” the guard said. “Southern Master is away today. Please come back another day.”
