CHAPTER 58: THE MASTERMIND

King Elliot did not understand how to tell him, he knew his residents were now in their weak state.

King Elliot looked at the aristocracy in front of him, he knew they wanted to ask for their food reserves.

King Elliot hit his throne chair, he was very angry to see what happened.

"What did the kingdoms do?! Why did they cut our trade routes!" King Elliot touched his forehead, he was now completely immersed in his anger.

King Elliot was angry, he did not expect the other kingdoms to cut off his trade routes.

King Elliot wanted to know what the plans for the kingdoms were, he hoped it was not a big problem.

Reyhard now opened his mouth, he wanted to give his orders to the nobles.

"Calm yourself. We still have to find out who is the mastermind of all of that. You must be able to be patient for some time."

The nobles are very angry, they remember how their inhabitants show their anger.

The nobles knew that sooner or later the kingdom would get a problem, it was seen from how some betrayal began to emerge.

"Wait? Reyhard, do you know how long we have been waiting?! You said we have to wait but when?! This has been more than 1 month!"

Reyhard gave his tongue, he knew how his words 1 month before.

Reyhard apologized, he also knew he was in big trouble.

"Sorry... we also don’t know how to prevent it. The perpetrators are very cunning."

The nobles put on an angry face, they are now seen wanting to ask for responsibility as a leader.

"Your Majesty, please give your orders. What should we do?!"

King Elliot is now awakened from his anger, he looks back at the nobles.

King Elliot bluffed his teeth, he now seemed to not believe what happened.

"Hold. We have to wait until the masterminds appear, if we advance it is no different from announcing we lose."

The nobles frowned in their foreheads, it was seen as if they had expected what was happening.

The nobles know how the nature of their master is, he is a stubborn man.

"Why... Your Majesty! Please help us! What happens if the people do a coup?! We must be able to calm them down!"

"That’s true. If His Majesty wants, why don’t you pull back the troops from the front row? We must take care of economic problems in the country right now."

Reyhard showed the face of his gentlemen, he was now staring at the expression of King Elliot.

Reyhard remembered he had given his plans, but King Elliot refused.

Reyhard wants King Elliot to withdraw his troops, but he looks like he doesn’t care.

Reyhard couldn’t do what he wanted, he knew his master was the real ruler.

Reyhard sighed, he hoped his master could decide his plan.

King Elliot clenched his two fists, he wanted to know whether he had to withdraw his troops or not.

King Elliot remembered the condition of his troops, they are now in their weak state.

The subordinates from Isaac have become very strong, they can now kill several other troops.

"That... Alright! We will retreat! Announce the entire troops to withdraw from the border region!"

Reyhard sighed, he was happy to see his master deciding to make his movements.

Reyhard nodded, he is now preparing to leave his place.

Isaac now shows his happy face, he saw the message from Theo had been sent to him.

Isaac opened the message from Theo, he knew his plan had been fully successful.

"Well... now is the time for the real game to begin. King Elliot will sooner or later withdraw their troops, but it’s too late..." Isaac remembers how he gave his orders, he knew his subordinates were now carrying out their full attack.

Isaac has long been waiting for King Elliot to withdraw his troops, they are now in their weak state.

Isaac burned the letter in his hand, he did not want anyone else to realize it.

Isaac walked away from his room, he knew Rudy and his colleagues were waiting for him.

Some time passed, Isaac and Isalith are now in a quiet hallway—that is the place they previously visited.

Isaac looked at Rudy’s figure, he showed his happy face.

"It’s nice to be able to work with you, Mr. Lupin. Your plan is really going well."

Isaac shook his head, he now wanted to ask about the conditions that occurred.

Isaac looked at Rudy and his colleagues, he knew they were his workers.

Rudy nodded, he now without hesitation gave documents from their work.

"Please see. Mr. Lupin, I’m sure you really like our work."

Isaac brought the document in front of him, he was now without hesitation in reading it.

Isaac nodded, he was happy to see Rudy and his colleagues succeed in carrying out their duties.

"Alright... you guys are very great. I found out from the beginning you could be trusted." Isaac gave his praise, he remembered his first meeting with Rudy.

Isaac knows Rudy is a vampire, he has seen him in the world of the game.

Isaac remembers how the figure of a vampire, he knew they had blood red eyes.

"But sir, what should we do? I hear King Elliot now wants to withdraw his troops. Is it possible for us to continue his duties?"

Isaac sank into his mind, he knew he soon or later had to solve problems from the trade of the Runeia Kingdom.

Isaac sighed, he knew he did not have to continue his plan.

"Don’t worry. I have prepared some of my plans. You only have to stop your activities. And also, I hope you can keep this secret for me and my partner."

Rudy and his colleagues understood, they knew that Isaac wanted them not to tell what was happening.

"Sir, don’t worry, my friend and I will not let information about you experience a leak."

Isaac stared at the other side, he saw one of Rudy’s colleagues staring at him.

Isaac narrowed his eyes, he knew that man was a suspicious person.

[Level: 32 (Soul Gathering).]

’Oh... among these vampire colleagues, he is the strongest. I think he is a traitor.’ Isaac chuckled in his heart, he was now looking back at Rudy.

Isaac nodded, he knew Rudy and his colleagues had finished their work.

"I will leave. From now on our collaboration has been completed, I hope we can meet each other in the future."

Rudy lowered his head, he knew Isaac was a mysterious man.

Rudy knows Isaac is a great man, he can give him hope in his life.

"Of course. Hopefully we can meet again."

Isaac initially wanted to walk away from the hallway, but he chose to wipe out a small paper.

Rudy brought the paper with him, he didn’t think Isaac did that intentionally.

Rudy kept the paper in his robe, he now seemed to not care about what happened.

Silver came to Rudy, he looked as if showing his depressed face.

"That man... I really didn’t like him. He gave me a feeling that he was an evil person."

Rudy patted the shoulder from Silver, he hoped he would not judge people from his appearance.

Rudy knew Isaac was an honorable man, he dared to give them a number of pockets containing pure gold coins.

"Don’t think about what you shouldn’t think. Mr. Lupin is a good man, I’m sure he will ask for help from us again."

Silver doubts, but he hopes that what Rudy said is true.

Rudy and his colleagues are now back into underground pipes, they know they have to carry out their hiding.

...

Theo, who now floated in the sky, showed his cold gaze.

Theo looked at tens of thousands of Runeia’s royal troops, he now wanted the foxes to carry out their attacks.

Theo knew the troops from the Runeia Kingdom prepared to leave their borders, he now wanted to launch his attack.

"Attack." For a moment when Theo gave his direction, several thousands of arrows hit the Runeia Kingdom forces.

The troops from the Runeia Kingdom showed their fearful faces, it was seen that they did not believe what was happening.

The highest troops from the Kingdom of Runeia carried out their protection, it was seen that they realized what was happening.

The high-ranking troops from the Runeia Kingdom knew that the troops from Isaac carried out their attacks; it was seen that they could only show their angry faces.

The foxes, dwarves, wolves, villagers, and Dark Elves combined their attacks, it was seen that they were preparing to launch their attacks.

Theo now appears in territories from the Runeia Royal Forces, he is now with Grimm and his troops.

The officials of the Runeia Kingdom were surprised, they did not expect Theo to be the mastermind why they got their attacks.

One of the high-ranking officials of the Runeia royal forces launched his attack, but Grimm came to prevent him.

Grimm is now launching his attack, he is now without hesitation killing one of the officials of the Runeia royal forces.

"Don’t let one of them live! We must kill them!"

"Understandable!" Grimm and others accelerated their actions, it was seen that the ocean of blood was formed within the border region.

Grimm did not show his emotions, he knew Isaac ordered them in killing the Runeia royal forces.

Grimm looked at the figure of Lyra, he knew she was in her good condition.

Grimm remembers how he and his wife get an increase, they are now no different from the Soul Gathering stages.

The speed of Grimm and Lyra has now reached their peak, it looks like they get training from Theo.

Theo turned into the sky, he seemed to be aware of what was happening.
