The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order

Chapter 654: Spies in the Collapsing Lightning Alliance

The Collapsing Lightning Duke felt a great weight coming down his shoulder as he saw that the 81 Deus Behemoth Heaven Suppression Formation would be enough to handle their current predicament.

Even if the 81 Deus Behemoth Heaven Suppression Formation could not affect the Dark Kings, it would weaken the entire Inferno Daemon Invasion Army. That would generate a chain reaction from the lowest battlefield all the way to the highest, hopefully allowing some Titans the freedom to join the True Titanʼs battlefield.

Although the man was curious about what Cain did to obtain so much goodwill from the Deus Behemoth Emperor, he knew those questions could wait.

”Good, it might just be temporary, but the 81 Heaven Suppression Formation will help us equal the battlefield. Since we have handled the core predicament, letʼs summon the rest of the generals and start analyzing our next movements.”

Although the final decision was in the hands of the Collapsing Lightning Duke, he always allowed the other generals and powerhouses to be present and share their ideas and insights regarding the battlefield. A good leader knows how to take advantage of the people around him and not limit himself to his ideas.

However, there was someone who was against that path.

”I donʼt think that would be wise.”

The Collapsing Lightning Duke turned toward Cain with an inquisitive gaze. Although the man was very young, the Sector Duke knew he was remarkable in many ways, so he indicated for Cain to carry on and explain.

”We have been presented with a great opportunity. The Void King knows the state his attack left you, and he must surely believe you are in a deep coma right now, with severe wounds and on the brink of death. We should continue with the facade and actively use it to incite the man to make a mistake.”

The First Collapsing Lightning Pillar and Angar nodded as they heard Cainʼs words since they made perfect sense.

Yet, the Collapsing Lightning Duke softly shook his head as he immediately found a flaw.

”It is indeed wise to feign weakness to draw your opponents into a trap, but how long would we need to wait for that? Not to mention that we also have to consider the impact on the morale of the alliance.

My power and feats are recognized across the empire, which is why most of the Sector Dukes chose to side with me instead of just taking their families and running away, leaving their domains unprotected.

Although the troops are energized right now, that is due to the thrill of battle, and they have yet to analyze their situation. Once they understand that no one can put up a front to the Void King, we will have serious problems, and our fragile stability might collapse.”

A solemn light appeared in the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar and Angar as they analyzed the Collapsing Lightning Dukeʼs words and understood how dire their situation would have been if they had been unable to wake him up.

Cainʼs eyes could not help but narrow as he stared at the Collapsing Lightning Duke and came to understand just how deep the manʼs military mind was. Anyone could make an analysis based on data and numbers, but only a few would be able to truly factor in the hearts and minds of the people around them in the equation.

”You are right. Your absence will have a negative impact on the morale of the troops and might make the alliance crumble, but I have a way to navigate through that.

First, I have an immense amount of war resources that will be distributed to the troops immediately. There will be peak armor and weapons for everybody, including Divine Ascension Masters, along with treasures capable of healing any wound. Finally, I will offer this to improve their power.”

Cain opened his palm, and the trio saw a 20-colored flame appear.

”Although a 21 Revolution Flame is incredibly complicated to generate, a 20 Revolution Flame is much easier, and I have 30. That should be enough to keep all those generals and Sector Dukes hesitating on what to do next firmly on our side, at least for the meantime.”

The Collapsing Lightning Duke stared at Cain for a moment, and soon, a smile appeared on his face as he saw how the young man could play with the greed in the hearts of the great generals and Sector Dukes to ensure their remanence on the battlefield.

”Good, very good. Yes, with their wounds healed, new weapons and armor, and the excitement of Tribulation Enhancement, we can keep them grounded for the time being without problems. But that will only last a finite amount of time, and we still have no idea when the Void King will attack.”

”Actually, we can incite the man to make a move by using the spies The Organization has in the Collapsing Lightning Alliance.”

Upon hearing that, somber expressions appeared on the True Titans, especially in the Patriarch of the Aegon Family. Spies were common in war, and the one in charge of finding them was none other than Angar. The man had pushed himself and his family to the limit in order to maintain the secrets of the Collapsing Lightning Alliance.

”We have done our best to ensure that anyone dealing with sensitive information is thoroughly vetted, and the surveillance of the Titan Tower is active 24/7 to warn of any suspicious activity.”

Cain turned to the Patriarch of the Aegon Family and softly nodded.

”I have no doubt you have done an excellent job, but the problem with these spies is that they can pass unseen. Their disguise is flawless.”

Without further delay, Cain waved his hand, and a new file appeared in the A.I. Chip of the trio. It was a list of names, supposed to be traitors sharing their information with the Void King.

Coldness and anger appeared on the faces of the trio as they saw the names. Most of the people were Wave Kings and Apotheosis Masters, and while they were not the core of the battle power, several of them had shown incredible military feats and fought bravely with all they had.

The one who was the angriest was none other than Angar Aegon since one of the names in the list Cain had just given him was his youngest son.
