Chapter 2545 - 1114: Sowing Confusion (Part 3)
One way is to change allegiance and serve this new master.
The other is for Prince Ubar to destroy this enemy before him and rescue himself.
The latter situation doesn’t need much explanation. Even if he’s rescued, he might avoid execution, but cannot escape punishment. Grazte has never been a merciful person, especially since he has lost a valuable prize and disrupted a grand plan.
Though the likelihood of the first situation is small, she must prepare for it, ensuring that if she joins a new power, she can still hold significant authority and be heavily employed, gathering all her capable officers around her is naturally the first choice.
Even facing the latter situation doesn’t matter; rescuing one person or a group makes no fundamental difference to Prince Ubar.
This delicate self-serving thinking isn’t unique to demons; it’s only that they wield it to the utmost. Gaven fully exploits this point.
Falling into the second speed tier are the gun cavalry led by the Succubus Manipulator, with the Transcendant Bodies and Flexible Flight as their standard equipment, their Flight Speed naturally far exceeding most demons.
Only a very few demons with bodies suitable for flying, or flying demons as powerful as them, can keep up.
Virtually all are the former, and the latter can be counted on one hand.
Any demon possessing the Transcendant Body ability rarely belongs under the Legendary rank, and they are adept both inside and out.
Such beings, even in Prince Ubar’s Demon Territory, are well-known, each possessing their affiliations, not lurked in others’ cities.
In the Bottomless Abyss, trying to act low-key is a thousand times harder than elsewhere because oppression is omnipresent and perfectly natural.
If you wish to appear weak, you must endure the oppression and bullying by other demons.
Being oppressed by stronger demons might be bearable, but being bullied by weaker ones is intolerable for almost anyone.
Those falling into the third tier are hardly worth mentioning, composed entirely of low-Intelligence flying Beasts, cannon fodder level creatures.
Those with some brains won’t fly about erratically behind but rather return to the burning Hall of Calculation to see if they can snatch chestnuts from the fire.
Seeing he has flown out from Samoray, Gaven feigns speaking loudly to Triple Shadows Taharissi: "There are too many enemies, pursuing too closely. We’ll act separately and meet at the old place once we shake them off."
Screw acting separately!
Screw meeting at the old place!
A torrent of alpacas surged through Taharissi’s mind; this guy clearly wouldn’t stop until he’s played her to death.
His words weren’t directed at her but spoken for the gun cavalry behind.
If he truly intended to conspire, he could have used Psychic Whisper.
Enemies gave him no chance. As soon as the words fell, it was the moment the rope was undone, and speed immediately increased by another tier, redirecting in another direction.
Upon seeing this, the Succubus Manipulator commanded: "Stelle, Jilna, Emily, Daisy, you four have high-speed flight ability, come with me to chase that beast; the rest keep a close watch on Taharissi, just bind her, don’t let her escape. Once we resolve this here, we’ll immediately support you."
At this moment, there were eight gun cavalry surrounding the Succubus Manipulator, all members in Samoray have gathered, and the remaining five were on missions outside, with some even not in the Bottomless Abyss.
The four named by the Succubus Manipulator were the core of Lady Gun Cavalry, four among the six great Legendary ones.
Marreta had named them, and upon thinking of the unlawful methods used by their opponent to control the Succubus Manipulator, Triple Shadows Taharissi instantly guessed their malicious intent, unable to help but shout towards those gun cavalry: "Stelle, what I said before is true, my lady has really been controlled by someone, don’t go; it’s a trap laid targeting you, intending to kill and enslave you."
Stelle responded coldly: "Keep your hypocritical face, the same Lies, do you think I’d believe them a second time? You can’t escape; I advise you to hand over the loot, surrender obediently, His Majesty might spare your life considering blood ties."
"You’d rather believe Lies than my truths; even if His Majesty comes personally, he can’t save you!" Triple Shadows Taharissi sighed, flapped her wings, and turned away.
She hadn’t felt such a strong sense of powerlessness in a long time.
She was like a puppet controlled by the Hands of Slaughter, being led continuously and falling into passive traps.
The time left for her was very limited; she must devise a foolproof escape plan before these four Legendary Gun Cavalry are seized, or else the opponent might turn around and pursue her again.
By that time, the situation would be disastrous, the enemy’s ranks potentially increasing by four more Legendaries, leaving her utterly hopeless.
She was now his shield, a super bait, he wouldn’t easily let her go.
The enemy was clearly restraining their Speed, chasing in the wilderness, where she had no advantage. The more complex the terrain, the more favorable it would be for her.
As she assessed the strengths and weaknesses of both sides, Taharissi’s gaze fell on Zelata.
Marreta could manipulate black and white in Samoray largely owing to her extraordinarily strong ruling influence there; such authority would be vastly diminished in the Imperial Capital.
Those thieves probably intended to use her to confuse perspectives, easing their escape with the Goddess of Wealth’s contract. They likely wouldn’t dare run to populous Zelata.
Without the slightest hesitation, Triple Shadows darted towards the direction of the Imperial Capital, urgently flying, while the remaining four gun cavalry closely tailed, not letting up.
Taharissi’s main ability lies in stealth and duplication, not having a significant advantage in Speed, unable to open up a distance thorough enough to completely shake them off.
Both sides originally had solid Speed; after diverging routes, within minutes they had widened the gap and quickly vanished from each other’s sight.
