Chapter 241
Stormcast.
Lucan handed the Immortal Edge to vin. “After the ancient sword was awakened, it burst forth
from the stronghold, unleashing a mighty sword''s energy high above, casting eighteen vast
apparitions across the city.”
“The apparitions were like statues, emitting a tremendous sound, deste and grand, shrouded in
mystery.” Godfred had never witnessed such a spectacle. The moment the ancient sword was
roused, every citizen within the city felt a shock, an oddpulsion to kneel in veneration.
Grima was curious and asked, “Lord vin, what secrets does this ancient sword hold?”
“It is called the Immortal Edge.” vin gripped the hilt tightly, raising it towards the heavens. The
de was ancient and heavy, and even with vin''s strength, it felt burdensome.
Lucan felt his Lord vin bing more enigmatic by the day. How did hee to understand this
de, and how did he possess its ‘Engage’ and ‘Withdraw’ chants?

Godfred inquired, “What do we do next?”
“From this day forth, you guard Stormcast. Let the Golden Scorch investigate as they please, but
we must never confess to taking the ancient sword.”
“What if the Golden Scorchunches a direct attack? They must be in dread right now; even a
cornered dog will leap over a wall.”
“They won’t, not until the whereabouts of the ancient sword are confirmed. They won''t bite rashly.”
“Lord vin, are you certain that the events at Golden Scorch will rm Cobalt Strike?”
“Send some men to spread rumors, make the affair big enough that Cobalt Strike can''t help but
notice.”
vin believed that once Cobalt Strike started their investigation, they would surely connect it to the
Immortal Edge. Then, Cobalt Strike''s wrath would befall the Golden Scorch, bringing ruin to the
Rocke family!
The grudge of yesteryear would be avenged through the hands of Cobalt Strike. Although it was
regrettable not to act personally, to protect the secret of the Immortal Edge, this was the only way.
“Guard the old town well, I must leave for a while.”
Godfred asked, “Where are you headed?”
“This is just the beginning. Godfred, apany me on an errand.”
“Right! I''ll find some cleverds.”
“No need, just you will suffice. Remember, let no one know I have left.”
“Where to?”
“Watchful Shore.”
Godfred and the others exchanged nces, increasingly puzzled by their Lord vin.
“Cloudveil Woods will be in chaos for the next few months. You needn''t concern yourselves with
anything else; just defend the city gates and keep these people safe.”
Lucan hesitated, “At least tell us what to expect, to set our minds at ease.”
“It''s not that I don''t trust you. The time just isn''t right.” vin wrapped the Immortal Edge in beast
hide and began to pack his belongings. Acquiring the Immortal Edge and destroying the Rocke
family were but the first steps of his n. When Cobalt Strike focused their full attention on finding
the de, vin intended to create chaos, diverting their gaze and, in the process, seizing the
legacy of the kings. By the time Cobalt Strike understood what happened, the legacy would be his,
and tracing it back to him would be near impossible. When he grasped the legacy and bolstered his
strength, he would then dere war on Cobalt Strike and avenge the blood feud!
Lucan didn''t know how to persuade vin. He could guess that vin sought revenge and aimed
to protect Stormcast. The sentiment was understandable, but facing a behemoth like Cobalt Strike
head-on was perilously risky.
“We must ensure his safety,” Lucan sternly reminded Godfred outside. Was vin mad or merely
bold? He couldn''t fathom it. How could this young man dare to stand against the overlord of the
Nortnds with such fervor? The thought alone sent shivers down his spine. Once proud of vin''s
bravery, he now wondered, was this truly courage or just reckless abandon?
