Chapter 807 - 802: Gangxin, Your Life Is but a Flickering Candle in the Wind
Bron and the three of them already had a preliminary intention to form an alliance at this time.
To show sincerity, the four of them chose to remove the disguise of their appearance transformation during their talks.
This means that what they saw of each other were their real appearances and attire.
However, in the eyes of others, the four still maintained the illusory appearance and attire in the style of the Heart Demon World.
"Is this true information or just a smokescreen?" Alvarez, with his golden hair, frowned and said.
"A message from my ally in the Black Tortoise Oath camp was: ’The Black Tortoise Oath is pretending to attack the Spider Demon Cave to trick the Black Emperor into gathering heavy troops to the north. The true target of the Black Tortoise Oath is actually the Profound Water Palace.’ Whether it’s true or not, you can judge for yourselves."
Bron’s attitude was very sincere.
He had to be sincere, as in the last two battles, the third and second key figures in his team, Kuzan and Rob, had both died.
The strength of Bron’s team had severely declined, and in both encounters, Gangxin’s strength was beyond Bron’s estimation!
Luckily, the plan to contact other newly promoted major generals to jointly deal with Gangxin went smoothly, and after coming to the Shadow Island Chain, the numerous Demon Generals under the Black Emperor, along with a large number of elite Demon soldiers, gave Bron confidence and helped him emerge from the shadow of successive defeats.
"Bron, I heard that Gangxin rescued the queen of the Black Shark People from your hands. So, the Black Shark King Bead is highly likely to be used by Gangxin. This means that the water-based geographical advantage of the Yellow Springs Gate is no longer useful to us."
Tito spoke up, his voice echoing slightly through the jar-like helmet gaps, "Now Gangxin can freely choose his attack targets, while we can only passively defend. Even though the Black Emperor has many Demons under his command, they are scattered, making it highly likely for them to be overrun by Beiming Jihu and Dongbo Cheng’s forces with a single stroke!"
Saying this, Tito stood up and concluded, "If the odds of victory are too low, it’s not worth it for me to betray the Guardian Camp and turn an enemy like Gangxin hostile."
His standing height was just on par with the others while seated. Yet that rugged iron column-like, coiled old tree root-like resilient demeanor remained fully evident.
Alvarez smiled and stood up, saying, "That’s also my concern. Mr. Bron, you should give us a guarantee of victory and the necessary compensation. Otherwise, the three of us belong to the Guardian Camp, based on the foundation laid earlier, we should get a decent return during the remaining time."
"My opinion is the same as theirs," Julian said gracefully as she also stood up.
Seeing the three of them leaving, Bron remained seated without moving.
His gaze, like searing molten rock, first swept across Julian’s face:
"Miss Julian Silverwind, you are the one who should least consider giving up, as far as I know. In the Gangxin team, there is one Salacia Silverwind, who is your major competitor in inheriting the Silver Wind Clan. And this Shadow Island Chain war is highly likely related to Salacia Silverwind’s Second Refinement Major General task! Am I right?"
Julian remained silent, and a few seconds later, she chose to sit down.
Bron’s gaze turned to the other two.
"Mr. Alvarez, Mr. Tito. Gangxin has not yet grasped the True Intent Prototype, but his strength honestly far surpasses mine."
Bron didn’t bother to hide anything and spoke deeply about Gangxin’s prowess, "Rob and I teamed up, sparing no effort, and still couldn’t break through his defense; we were even counter-killed!"
"If such a master comprehends the True Intent Prototype... how strong will he be? Your Holy Covenant Organization, claimed as a Transcendent Power, does the first Holy Son Elaros, without comprehending the True Intent Prototype, possess such combat capabilities?"
Alvarez couldn’t smile anymore.
"Gangxin’s potential, in any Divine Kingdom’s deity, could be cultivated as an Extraordinary Seed. He joins the Gaia Group, competing with us on the same track, seeking to seize extraordinary resources. Alvarez, Tito, can you compete against him?
"Not only you but even those more powerful and awakened earlier in your organization wouldn’t dare say they could win. Alvarez, if your brother ’Sardin’ were here, he would undoubtedly risk everything to eliminate Gangxin, as Gangxin comprehending the True Intent Prototype could threaten his internal status in the Gaia Group."
Alvarez sighed slightly and also sat down.
Bron looked at Tito, the only one still standing, and continued with candidness: "We, Burning Ash, also have an urgent need to eliminate Gangxin. I consider this information provided by allies highly credible. Of course, regardless of the truth of this intelligence, Gangxin’s assault plan on the Shadow Island Chain is a fact. As long as everyone turns to the Demon Camp, I am willing to pay a sufficient price."
Julian Silverwind hesitated slightly, yet she raised her hand and said, "Actually, there’s no need to worry... I can assure you that Gangxin’s plan is indeed this: feigning an attack on the Spider Demon Cave, with the actual target being the Profound Water Palace."
"How do you know?" The other three were surprised.
Julian, knowing she isn’t as strong as the three, felt greatly satisfied being regarded for her opinion. She pretended to be mysterious and said, "I naturally have my insiders..."
"Hehe, good! The consistency of intelligence from different channels confirms this is indeed the final answer." Bron clapped his hands contently, saying, "Now there should be no doubts... Tito?"
Under the gazes of the others, Tito finally sat down.
Bron smiled.
In front of him were not just three people, but three teams!
Their sitting back down symbolized their complete consent to switch to the Demon Camp, to intercept Gangxin’s plan.
Originally, these three teams all belonged to the Guardian Camp. Their shift to the Demon Camp will dramatically alter the balance of Awakened combat power between the Guardian and Demon Camps!
Initially, the Demon Camp was dominant because the Underworld is the main base of Demons. Even though demons are restricted, the three strongest Demon Emperors still greatly favor the Demon Camp.
Thus, Spirit Realm Will guided almost all the quasi-general teams to join the Guardian Camp to balance the forces during these matches.
By now, those quasi-generals who failed the First Refinement mission’s speed run had mostly departed from the Heart Demon World.
The three remaining new Second Refinement Major Generals, who succeeded in the promotion trial, have been wooed by me to defect to the Demon Square!
It can be said that now in the Guardian Camp, besides the temporary team led by Gangxin, only those from the Star-Picking Tower remain.
And Star-Picking Tower is known to be an open spy.
The current situation for Gangxin is one of great crisis, with threats from all around and internal-strife!
Bron regained confidence.
"Gangxin, I admit you are strong and your potential is frightening!
"But in front of the ’Great Trend’ organized through Burning Ash’s connections, your personal power is ultimately insignificant.
"Gangxin, your life is already a candle in the wind!"
