The discussion began to focus on the secret portals that the lizardmans knew.
Many began to demand the lizardmans why they kept this knowledge a secret.
The lizardmans were one of the weakers, with their strongest warriors only at Conqueror level. While they produced more Conquerors, the world was incapable of producing Cherubims and Celestials. So while the lizardman world was more advance than the Minds and the Londs, it could not have much the power that the Hignds, the southern regions of the Dark Sea, or the Nethends!
With so many Cherubims nearby, the Lizardman leaders of the world began to spill everything they knew about the portals.
"It wasn''t really a huge concern at first! We didn''t care when we found out! None of us even visited the region where these portals are! There have been few portals that we found in our ce. But so what? Have we ever destroyed the limits of these portals? No! We eventually just ced guards near the region! As long as the portals would not allow anything above Cardinals, we weren''t worried! These portals allowed weak cultivators to move in and out, and there were political and practical regions not to guard these ces! We didn''t know about Middle and certainly did not know that beyond it was the nes World!" Conqueror Lizardman Leader Guy swore.
"Lies! Leader Guy! You wanted to establish a trade with them!"
"We were not the only settlers of thisnd! Orcs, goblins, humans, and Dark Dependent Practitioners use the undead! We thought this world was leading to one of the nearbys or that yours have been connected to it! We didn''t know that those golems were guarding an exit! We thought it was just a cave!" Leader Guy swore again.
"He is not lying." Bolerax stepped in.
"None of these races knew of was beyond thend. In fact, check all your portals. Maybe a few among you have a portal leading to that very ce! It was only when the humans of the Londs discovered the real value inside the Airom that they discovered this world and found the means to control the Golems!"
"What?!" Everyone eximed.
"Yes. You heard me. There is a way to gain control of a Golem Celestial!"
Everyone trembled. A level 90 being was something that was out of reach! Any one of theses would offer what they had to have such power!"
"But no one knew that. They feared the Golem Celestial. What can mere Champions and Commanders do? But these portals have suddenly weakened. So this also is one of the benefits of our raid. We head to Airom and starve out the humans! These are mere Lond beings. And the Nethends and the Hignds had a rule that neither group could send forces beyond the Crowns there. So if we send our team, we would have little trouble."
"Those agreements will surely end if they discover a foreign threat inside!"
"Yes. But there is anotherw at work." Bolerax smiled.
"The Hignds and the Nethends have cursed the regions to ensure it. No force greater than Conquerors can move into the Londs. This isn''t even a secret among them. It''s just we never knew about it because none of us would ever dare to invade the nesworld."
Everyone began to talk with one another.
Slowly, the n to raid the nesworld was getting more and more enticing for everyone.
The chance to control a Celestial Golem could change the hierarchy of the nearbys!
"...We would still be outnumbered." Xs was finally assessed.
"The ranks of Conquerors are the peak of many nations. On somes, a Conqueror would mean one of our own lines. Against all the Conquerors of the Hignds, it would be chaotic. You are the only ones who can truly benefit from this!"
"We, too will be sending our Conquerors. And my brother is already down there. We cannot send anyone anymore as we also have our bottom lines in our defenses. So we need backup. We do know more than you. But those things that we''ve revealed to you are true. The Half-Fallen race is truly a dare. But even if it''s not, you already have confirmation that a Golem of Celestial power is there. Leader Guy, tell them about those ''special golems''." Bolerax smiled.
Everyone turned to the lizardman.
"...There were numerous golem forms. But among them were a few powerful golems-wielding elements. At first, they were only at the level of Champions. But now, one of them had peak Commander strength within a span of months!"
"Months?! Just months to scale those levels?!" Xs eximed.
Even Tathar was surprised. Even the best would take years for a Champion to be amander! A decade to scale the ranks wasn''t even considered slow! Yet months passed, and a Golem became a Commander who was a step away from bing Cardinal!<novelnext></novelnext>
"What are its limits?! How did that happen?" Tathar asked.
"We don''t know what its limits are! But these creatures grow at an incredible rate. Faster than any dark-dependent creature we have seen! When these reports were released, we began to think of ways to breach the portal. But we cannot find a way to lower the restrictions."
"Can these... golems be... celestials?" A Conqueror asked.
"The more important question that you should ask is if other Dark Dependents can use these methods." Bolerax smiled.
Everyone became silent as this thought became engraved like a parasite in them.
"Then what is there else to talk about? But, first, tell us the strategy of our entry."
Bolerax smiled.
"We enter through the Minds. That region has the weakest shields and is the easiest entry point. My brother is also with an Incubus with powers possibly from the lost Corruption of Xermolipi. So be careful in sending your women. They might note back the same."
"An Incubus?! How certain are you that it''s of a lost Corruption?!"
"I trust Greater God Sheolrah visited each of your regions. I suggest you dy any ns to inform her of any information. That Subus is probably the same Cracky Batcheeks being sought! Whatever is happening down in the nesworld, it must be something involving numerous heritages. Cracky Batcheeks, the rise of the Steele family that I''m certain is being reported to the Lizardkin... the power of these Golems, and who knows what else? I know that all of you have found inheritances and other destined legacies for your tribe. You all have awakened one recently, correct?" Bolerax gazed at everyone.
Some could not hide their expression of surprise that Bolerax knew.
Others were stunned that they were not the only ones who had found something.
"We are at a tipping point of history. A great and important battle that will dictate the state of this universe ising! You can tell Greater God Sheolrah that you found Cracky Batcheeks and be rewarded by her power. Or you can hide it, and we can im these heritages and create a second Heretic War where a few among us will rise to be gods or fallen!" Bolerax dared everyone.
Down in the nes World...
"And that is the n." Breveros exined with intricate detail what the ns were.
Nightwing even gathered a lot of information about the Steele Family, the Emberdons, the Lizard kingdoms, and the current state of the Londs.
Nightwing nodded in understanding, but he could not help but continue to feel sorry for Breveros.
"What an unlucky guy. He just told me the ns of the Eldrich..." Nightwing sighed.
"Nightwing. I told you my ns. What of yours? Your two subus had taken control of these kingdoms and forced them towards the Minds. You seduced Princess Listrel to make these Lond nations rise with permission, correct?" Breveros asked.
"Yes and no. I couldn''t control Princess Listrel. As if my darkness could permanently taint Protos Endoxus. To simplify what I did, I simply asked her a favor. She agreed, and that''s the end of it. As for that two subi, it''s a trap for the Steele Family. Suppose I can make them think that they have a backing of an army behind them. And soon, when our forces arrive, the Minds will team with them to fight our forces. But at the right moment, I execute themand."
"A killmand! To kill them from within!"
"Yes. My subus will lead all those men to their deaths by betraying their allies! I call it, Order 66!"
"I see! What a cunning n! As expected of someone who defeated me!" Breveros approved.
Nightwing smiled and nodded, sighing at how unlucky Breveros was.
Order 66 would be the trigger he gave to his allies, who would sabotage the army of Destiny from within!
