The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 1163: Scout Party

In the blink of an eye, another 6 months passed since Rania brought news of the Nathrans’ plans to attack Earth.

So far, under Yuying and Queenie’s planning, Earth had been protected to some extent. The planet itself had been turned into a weapon.

Yuying and Princess Eshira managed to create a tunnel into the grand Arcana planet formation, allowing them to form an attacking formation they believed could obliterate even a Nirvana-stage warrior.

They only managed to create a way to use it twice; however, coupled with Project Icarus, Moon Gaze, and Poseidon, if the battle were to come within 300,000 miles of Earth, they could use them to kill a couple of Nirvana-stage warriors.

But aside from that, the dummy planet Jane had found had been weaponised and was ready for when the enemy attacked.

Thankfully, Yuying had worked extra hard the past few months, so she was now at the Void stage. This allowed her to spend more time working without feeling tired.

Thankfully, as she recovered more of her cultivation, her abilities began to return.

Although she was not at the stage to fight Monarchs and Nirvana-stage warriors, she had recovered enough to handle Domain-stage warriors, or even Life stage.

However, Queenie had no plans on letting her come any closer to the battle.

She wanted her safe, and, knowing how important she was to Klaus, even if the entire planet was getting destroyed, she would make sure Yuying survived.

To Queenie, anyone who was important to her man was worth saving, and all those who opposed him would die.

So she was ready for war, and every day that passed, one could see she was hungry for battle.

A month later, something amazing happened.

Jane had reached the Monarch stage.

Naturally, someone like Jane, who had no combat abilities, shouldn’t even be looked at twice. However, on Earth, after Klaus, Jane was the most important person.

She was someone they couldn’t afford to lose.

Her class as a Star Manipulator allowed her to see far and wide away from Earth. Initially, she could see up to 4 billion miles through her star map. That was about ten 10-minute rides to Earth in a spaceship running at hyperspeed.

However, now that she had reached the Monarch stage, she could see 140 billion miles. The star map was only at Tier 2, but she could already see so much.

Thanks to this new development, they not only discovered other planets and resources, but also, a month after her breakthrough, a scouting party had landed on an ice planet 130 billion miles from Earth.

Thanks to Jane, they discovered the 40-man scouting party, so Queenie called for an immediate meeting to discuss how to handle it.

In attendance were all the Monarch-stage and Death-stage warriors except Yuying, who was only at the Void stage.

”There are 40 of them. Four Nirvana-stage, 20 Monarchs, and 16 Death-stage warriors,” Jane began to report her findings to everyone.

”From what I discovered, one of the Nirvana-stage warriors was already at the peak, and they seemed to have three Monarch-stage assassins with them. The rest are swordsmen and archers.”

”Thank you, Jane,” Queenie said before turning to face the warriors who would be the vanguard against whatever the enemy had in store for Earth.

”If it were up to me, we’d just slaughter them and wait for the main army. However, since we want the enemy in the trap we have set, we can’t kill them all.

If possible, we must capture the Nirvana-stage warriors and a few Monarchs.”

”Capture Nirvana stage warriors, huh? That is a new one,” Asmodeus said with a smile.

Just a year and a half ago, they were burning life force just to survive against the Monarchs, but today, they were planning to capture them.

”How would it even work? It is not like if we capture them, they will cooperate with us,” Stella said, and many others nodded.

Since the plan was to make them report back positively to their main army, thereby leading them into a trap, the plan was to turn them to their side.

However, from what they knew, capturing them was already hard enough. But even if they managed to do so by sheer luck, there was also the issue of making them work for them.

Before the awakening, Klaus recruited the ruler of one of the legacy families with the ability to mind-control.

However, he fell during the battle, and he was one of the few who were buried.

Getting his head severed clearly didn’t inspire him to remain alive with only his head. So they dont have a mind controller to help them mind control the warriors they plan to capture.

So it is either they kill them and make Asmodeus turn them into the undead, or they just go ahead and kill them for good.

Of course, there is a chance that killing them will prompt the enemy. The enemy is coming because their princess died while attacking Earth, clearly they have a way of tracking the life force of their warriors...

So, Asmodeus is their last resort.

”I can charm them,” Yuying said, and this time, everyone started to see a positive development. ”However, before I can do that, I have to be at the Domain stage.”

And there went their plan.

Yuying was still too weak to charm Monarchs and Nirvana stage warriors. In fact, she is even too weak to charm Domain stage warriors.

Her charm abilities fully activated when she reached the Domain stage.

That was her strongest ability as a Nine-Tailed fox. However, since she was still too far from the Domain stage after she regressed, charming that far beyond her cultivation base is beyond her capabilities.

”We can always beat them into submission,” Danny chimed in, and everyone glared at him.

”What? From where I stand, the only way Lady Yuying can’t charm them is because their mental strength is stronger than hers.

So how about we beat them senselessly to the point their minds will break, allowing her to enter without any resistance?”

”I think Danny is on to something.” Yuying, of all people, seemed to have grasped the wisdom in the brute’s words.

”If we can indeed break their minds, charming them will be possible. In fact, if we can charm all 40 of them, that will benefit us more than killing them.”

”See... Violence is always the way. Klaus taught me that,” Danny grinned, and Klaus’s wives smiled, knowing Klaus always said that, but in the end, he would always find a way to solve the issue with his big brain.

They miss him for that...

But Danny’s plan was spot on. They just had to defeat the 40 scouts from the Nethran race, capture them, and beat some sense into them.

”I will handle the Monarchs,” Asmodeus said, and nobody objected. He, Nadia, and Asha were like a one-man army.

Talk about the devil... ”Where are those troublemakers, Asha and Nadia?” Queenie asked, and her sisters looked around, but none saw the two ladies.

”Looks like they are still missing mother-in-law, so they are hard at work,” Lucy said, having interacted with Asha a month ago when she came out to check up on Klaus.

”It is okay. We all miss her...” Queenie sighed before assigning targets. ”Lord Trench, Skar, Nyxthar, and I will handle the Nirvana stage warriors.

Hanna, you have the Death stage warriors... Kathy and Vida will support you.”

”Hey, what about me?” Danny, who had already retrieved his axe and was ready for battle, asked with a frown.

”You should go to the moon. After all, who is going to beat some sense into them after we capture them?”

”Lady Queenie, have I ever told you how amazing you are?”

Queenie ignored her...
