Chapter 178: Plan

Arthur\'s office was cramped. The ten Elders of the sect, Uther, Ed, Eric, Griffin, and Elizabeth. All of them were there as Uther\'s wound had more or less healed, which meant that they needed to discuss their next move.

"Scale kingdom\'s nobles were divided into two groups. Those that supported me as the king, and those that secretly supported Blood sect. I managed to hold on for almost a year, but I never thought that they would infiltrate so deep inside the castle. The one who attacked us was an Immortal Establishment level 4, along with his subordinates. Unfortunately, I couldn\'t defeat him. You really can\'t fight age after all." A wry smile appeared on Uther\'s face as he spoke those last words. Ed had inspected him and found out that his cultivation was Immortal Establishment level 6. Lower than he thought, but still considered to be quite powerful.

Ed understood that cultivation didn\'t really decide the outcome of the fight. He could kill beings of higher cultivation, but it didn\'t mean that others couldn\'t do the same. The one who attacked Uther should have the ability to fight at higher levels as well. This pushed everyone present to think deeply about their next move. However, Ed had something to ask first.

"Is the man that attacked you the same one at that time?" Some people present had a hard time to think about what \'that time\' meant, but Uther had no issues. He knew that Ed was pursuing revenge for the crimes Blood sect committed that day towards him.

"No. It\'s not the same man." Ed frowned upon hearing the words of Uther. The fact that Blood sect could command so many Immortal Establishment cultivators showed how much strength they had.

"I guess there is no other choice but for me to fight that man," Arthur spoke after being silent for all this time. Arthur managed to cultivate up to Immortal Establishment level 4 during Ed\'s two years of absence. Thanks to Nen, he should have no problem fighting opponents at higher levels. The only problem that remained is the issue of infiltrating the kingdom. Ed had an idea, but he wanted to ask some more questions.

"What happened to Harry, the teachers, and the general?" Uther only managed to escape with his wife and daughter. Ed had to think about the fate of such people who should have been with the king.

"They all fought to allow me to escape. I believe they\'re still alive, as Blood sect would try to recruit them one way or another."

"Where do you think they\'ll be held?" Ed needed all sorts of information before polishing his plan.

"In the academy grounds. Blood sect took over it and is using it to control nobles from other kingdoms." It was Arthur who answered Ed\'s question. Apparently, he planted spies in Scale kingdom before returning with Uther.

"I see. Then I guess it\'s time for me to finish my studies." Ed smiled while speaking. Of course, Ed couldn\'t just walk into the academy. There was 99% chance he would be discovered. But that didn\'t mean that his hands were tied. Among his monsters, one of them looked the closest to the age of students. It was Goburou.

Although he was a vampire, he looked almost the same as a normal human. They could use makeup to hide his pale skin, or even chalk it up to a sickness. Ed\'s plan revolved around Goburou infiltrating the academy and locating the teachers and the general. Once that happens, he has to free them. Ed will then teleport everyone into the castle. Goburou can hide his QI, so he wouldn\'t be found out as an Immortal Establishment. The plan was a little clumsy, but it would be sufficient.

The only problem that remained was how to let Goburou infiltrate the academy. Ed couldn\'t use Zero Sign for a long time. And, his dimension ability wouldn\'t allow him to locate the people he needed to save. He had to rely on Goburou.

"The academy will have an entrance exam next week. But, we have to send him as an heir to a kingdom allied with Blood sect." Arthur explained some more. Ed felt that it was truly convenient to have the exam happen in one week. As for the issue of an allied kingdom, they only needed to intercept one of the carriages that are transporting such a person.

They continued to discuss some things about the powers and abilities of those that attacked Scale kingdom. After Ed heard enough, he left as he had some things to prepare for.

"Only me and Garu hunted the posts of Blood sect lately, but that is about to change. All of us will do so for the next week. We\'ll target the posts that are close to Scale kingdom. I\'ll fly around today marking the posts that will be attacked. Don\'t forget to take their spatial rings." Ed was talking to his companions as he had summoned them all. He spoke to Goburou about his role in saving Scale kingdom. Of course, the latter had no issues except using makeup. Ed respected his wishes and allowed him to go however he wanted.

"Wait!" Before Ed left the room where he was speaking to his companions, a palm appeared in front of his face.

"Eavesdropping is not a good thing." Ed could tell that he was being eavesdropped on, but he didn\'t mind as he knew who it was.

"We didn\'t eavesdrop; we made sure to close our ears," Ellie said while looking to the side. Behind her, Emilia and Alicia were both there.

"I see. So you have no idea about the plan?"

"Yes. We don\'t know that you\'re attacking Blood sect posts!" Ed, Emilia, and Alicia immediately facepalmed. They knew that Ellie was innocent, but not to this degree.

"Forget what I just said." Ellie realized she had messed up so she tried to wave it off as nothing happened. "Anyway, we knew you\'ve been doing it for a while now. You can\'t hide the smell of blood on you." She said as she looked at Ed in the eyes. Ed had washed himself every day after a massacre, but Ellie could still pick up on the faint smell of blood.

"Let me guess. You want to help?" All three of the girls nodded furiously as Ed finished speaking. Ed sighed once more. He wanted to do the dirty work himself, but he knew that it would be better if they got used to fighting anyway.

"All right." Ed assigned Emilia with Raikou, Alicia with Merry, and Ellie with Gobuta. The others were independent. It was time for another wave of killing.
