After rescuing the Rebel Beast, Goodwin and Qing Kong took the medicine box and escaped from the Tower of Honing as quickly as possible. The soldiers wanted to stop it, but they couldn't stop it at all.
Soon, the soldiers found Gringlish's corpse. The news that the Executor of Divine Overwatch had been assassinated by the Blasphemer quickly spread throughout the empire and shocked the whole country.
The Church did not fall into chaos because of this, because Greengrass had already appointed Oracle Tyrone as his successor. He had arranged everything so well, as if he knew that he would die suddenly.
However, his death still triggered a series of chain reactions. All the officials and nobles were afraid that they would become the next target of assassination. Many of the best men in the army and the church were transferred away to become their personal bodyguards. Emperor Siegfried's " decisive battle against demons " plan was also questioned. The nobles requested the emperor to withdraw the expeditionary army to protect the capital and their territory.
"We have to act quickly." With the help of the Death Chasing Seal, Goodwin grasped the trend of public opinion in the capital. "If the expeditionary force returns, our plan will be ruined.”
Clear Sky had already used the Seal of Bond to greet her compatriots. They immediately gathered an elite team in King's Town. Including Goodwin, there were only 15 people in the team, but all of them were warriors who had been through hundreds of battles, and half of them had Imprints.
At first, these people showed blatant hostility towards Goodwin. However, when Clear Sky told them that Goodwin had killed Greengrass, they instantly became enthusiastic about him. Although Goodwin didn't think that he was the one who killed Greengrass.
In the team, there were a few people who had human faces like Qing Kong.
"They're the same as me, warriors of the Darklight Race.”Clear Sky introduced to Goodwin.
The Obsidian people were the less mutated ones among the 'original people'. Compared to their bat-faced or beast-faced compatriots, the Obsidian people had higher intelligence and stronger magic adaptability, but they were also less resistant to the poisonous fog of the Land of God Punishment. Therefore, most of them were active in the territory of the Empire.
"This is Old Wood."
"…Hello."
Old Wood was a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He had a square face, muscles, and a tall figure. He looked like the main character of a hardcore movie. Qing Kong had pointy ears and a thin tail, but Old Wood had the same organs as an ordinary person, except that his skin was blue. He didn't talk much, but his grip was especially strong. Although he was an apostle, Goodwin was not sure if he could beat Old Wood in arm-wrestling.
"This…I'll just call it Tie Yan.”
"…What do you mean by 'for the time'?”
Tie Yan was like a clear male sky. He also had purple skin, silver hair, pointy ears, and a slender figure. Speaking of which, he could be considered Qing Kong's childhood friend, but the two people with similar temperaments were quite incompatible. This might be because they saw each other as competitors since childhood, so they would fight whenever they met.
"This is Yan Cai."
"Hi, nice to meet you."
Yan Cai was a tall woman, a head taller than Qing Kong and Tie Yan. She had big eyes, curly red hair, and a fit figure. Her skin was bronze, almost no different from an ordinary human. However, a huge tail exposed her identity as a First Born. The tail reminded Goodwin of a crocodile.
Goodwin noticed that all three of them were wearing magic armor similar to Clear Sky's.
"Why are their armors all silver and only yours black?”Goodwin asked Clear Sky.
"Because our identities are different." Qing Kong said. "Silver armor means they are lone warriors.”
"Then, black armor represents a married warrior?”
"What a mess!" Qing Kong blushed. "The black armor is a military formation warrior. It means that we will fight together with the army! A lone warrior was a warrior who acted independently of the army!”
"Oh, I see." Goodwin nodded. "The clergymen in black robes in the Empire are all married. I thought you guys had a tradition.”
"How can it be a tradition?"
"…Oh."
" I was born a warrior. The only meaning of my life is to take revenge on the Final Traitors.”
"Yes."
"So, I've been fighting. He didn't have the time to do those romantic things.”
"Understood."
"It's good that you understand."
" So," Goodwin asked. "Why are you telling me this?”
"I'm afraid you'll misunderstand."
"What misunderstanding?"
"…Idiot." Clear Sky turned around and left.
Now that the troops were assembled, the most crucial step was to take it.
"Next, let me introduce the battle plan.”Goodwin spread out a map he had snatched, and Clear Sky transmitted his voice to the ears of every First Born. "As for the name of the battle, let me think about it. Let's call it 'Battle on a Clear Day'. Let's clear the haze that has shrouded the heads of the First People for 500 years in one battle.”
He placed a chess piece in the middle of the map.
"The key to the battle is naturally to attack Wangxia Town.
"Wangxia Town doesn't have a city, so there's nothing to be afraid of.
"What we need to pay attention to are the defenders of the government office and the armory.
"The attack on the City Hall and the arsenal needs to be carried out simultaneously, so we need to split our forces into two.
"The government office will be the main attack direction. We need to invest 12 soldiers and 12 Rebel Beasts.
"I'm more familiar with the layout of the government office, so I'll be leading the team.
"The other 3 warriors and 3 perverted beasts will be led by Tigermaw to attack the armory. If you take down the target before us, send one or two people to support us.”
Tiger Throat was an Original Citizen with a face that resembled a tiger. He was bigger than Goodwin and was 38 years old. He was considered a long-lived person among the Original Citizens.
"We can only succeed in the battle at the government office.
"We will fight to the death until we save our compatriots. There was no option to retreat.
"The defensive strength of the government office is expected to be very strong. With our military strength, we probably won't be able to defeat them.
"But it doesn't matter. You just need to cooperate with me and try your best to kill them.
"The soldiers who are killed will be transformed into my 'Dead Legion.
" If we kill enough soldiers, the Dead Legion can help us pin down the enemy's main force. Then, we can take down the dungeon and release our compatriots.
" The compatriots who have just been saved will be very weak, but I believe in the perseverance of the Original People. They will become our powerful reinforcements.
"Then, we will lead them to break out of the encirclement. At this time, Tiger Throat needs to bring weapons to support us. Once our compatriots are armed, the situation will be reversed. We will work together to wipe out the defenders of King's Town.”
Goodwin paused.
"However, we are only halfway through the battle.
"Next, once we conquer King's Town, Clear Sky will send a signal to our compatriots in the territory of the Imperium and the Land of God Punishment.
"This is the signal for the final battle.
"My fellow countrymen from all over the world, if you can't defeat the local Empire's troops, try your best to delay them. If he could defeat them, he would march directly to the Gathering of the Seven.
" We will fight to the death with their emperor in the Gathering of the Seven, in the heart of the Final Rebellion.”
Goodwin looked around and saw the faces of the Original People with different colors.
" The self-proclaimed spokesperson of the gods, the clown, Gringles, is dead. He died in the Tower of Sin, which was built to squeeze the souls of the Original People.
" And our next target is-"
Goodwin shouted.
The warriors of the Original People beside him shouted.
Every " original people " on this land shouted with the voice in their souls.
"-the head of Emperor Siegfried!!!!!”
