Chapter 1262: Sabotage

”Thank you very much.” The admiral smiled and shook hands with Dhui.

After the visit, it was clear that the admiral was fond of the idea of trading. It was quite surprising that Noel wanted to take down all the ancient demons, but he might be able to do it, considering his strength.

Of course, during the first visit, the admiral was only accompanied by several people and discussed the things they wanted to trade.

After all, this was the purpose of their expedition.

”Please take a look at this.” The admiral pointed at the side with his hand. His assistant took out the veil covering the items.

”Theyʼre beautiful.” Dhui nodded. ”I bet they are going to be popular.”

”Thank you.” He smiled.

”If you would, you can also take a look at our city.”

”I would love to.”

”Great.”

As the trade was set up, they started pouring out all their items to see which ones interested them more. It didnʼt take too long for them to have a tour around the city.

Due to the difference in culture even from the Greenwood Kingdom, the admiral couldnʼt help but get startled. Nevertheless, they still proceeded according to the plan and talked about the subjugation of all ancient demons.

That night, the admiral visited Noelʼs room.

”How is it?” Noel asked.

The admiral nodded. ”We have received their cooperation. Itʼs thanks to you, Marquis.”

”Haha. Thatʼs good. How about the other plan?”

”Yes. We have discussed it. According to them, they will be providing everything from food to supplies. Weʼll be supplying the personnel. Are you sure about this, Marquis?” The admiral asked.

”Yes. I and Anna will be taking down the ancient demon while Rui, the spirit transcendence from their side, will take on the lower level demons. Your people will have to ensure that nothing goes wrong.”

”No. I mean, itʼs extremely dangerous to fight against ancient demons…”

”Ah. If you can help me take out the superior demon crystals and the ancient demon crystals, youʼre free to take everything else. Those cores will definitely be useful for our return trip.”

The admiral smiled wryly. Both of them surely knew what the admiral was talking about. However, Noel intentionally didnʼt discuss it, as if telling him not to mind about it.

”I understand. I will gather my troops and prepare them to make sure everything goes smoothly.”

Noel smiled and patted his shoulder. ”Good. In that case, see you in two days.”

”Yes, sir!”

The admiral was preparing for the trade and fight as he arranged his people to their respective positions.

Unbeknownst to them, the danger had been looming around them. There was a pigeon that flew toward the north when no one was watching.

As Dhui and Rui had previously stated, the land itself had multiple clans on it.

The pigeon arrived at one of those clans.

When they heard about this, they held a huge meeting.

A muscular middle-aged man entered the room, walking past 15 kneeling men on the sides. He sat down on his small throne while raising his right foot.

While drinking a jar of wine, he asked, ”So?”

The man on his right raised his head and explained, ”We have just received the information that the Ui Clan has received the arrival of strangers. Apparently, they came from the land beyond the sea.

”According to the legend, the founder of martial arts, Ihui, also came from the land beyond the sea. Considering they came from the west, we could safely assume that they were from the same place. And we have confirmed the existence of their boat.

”They seemed to have reached an agreement with them. We are still unsure what kind of agreement they currently have, but Iʼm assuming theyʼre related to trade and subjugation.

”Those foreigners have a lot of unique stuff, so trade is understandable. As for the subjugation, we are still unsure about it.”

The middle-aged man had a big gulp before saying, ”How do you know theyʼre planning a subjugation?”

”They have set up a camp in the Ura Forest. We are unsure what theyʼre planning to do.”

The middle-aged manʼs eyebrows twitched. ”Theyʼre aiming for the ancient demon in that forest. No, they might even come for other ancient demons. That clan is trying to take advantage of the foreigner to take down the four heavenly disasters.”

”!!!” His retainers widened their eyes in disbelief.

”What? Theyʼre planning to take down…”

The man snarled, ”You canʼt imagine it? Are you a fool? You should know how dangerous the sea is. Unless they have enough strength, they wonʼt be able to reach this island.”

”Then, we have to stop them. If the Ui clan was allowed to take down the four heavenly disasters, no one could keep them in check anymore.”

”Stop them? Are you a fool? I already told you that they needed strength to reach this place. The fact theyʼre able to reach this place means they have a spirit transcendence expert, and itʼs not only one.

”How to stop them? Attack their ship? That will just unleash their wrath upon us. The Ui Clan has been at the top because they have two spirit transcendence experts. If they come at us, weʼll be wiped out immediately.”

His retainers could only look down. They were trying to come up with a strategy, but there didnʼt seem to be anything they could do.

”Should we send someone to meet them and form a mutual relationship with the foreigners? If we can hold them with marriages, we might be able to turn them against the Ui clan.”

”I feel like a fool talking to you guys. All of you are useless. Do you think itʼs possible? The Ui clan would have done so if itʼs possible. After all, they have Rui.”

They couldnʼt come up with a better solution.

The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows before saying it with a cold tone. ”We should sabotage them. If theyʼre truly aiming for the conquest of the four heavenly disasters, we should make that conquest fail with all of them suffering heavy injuries.”
