( THE NEXT DAY IN THE ARMY CAMP )
( in the commanders tent , a table could be seen being flipped in the air . )
black sword - just how long do they me too wait , we don't have the time to bicker on such petty matters . why can't they just allow us to attack right now .
( behind him a white misty figure appeared .)
white misty figure - you have to understand , black sword . this all might seem petty and idiotic to you , but understand this simple rule about humans . humans talk the most of ideals and rules , but they are the beings that follow them the least. humans are motivated by profit , you might talk of protecting your homeland , but except a few soldiers like you most just join a army for the potential benefits .
black sword - okay , I am calming down . but still , isn't an army supposed to be quick and efficient . should the armies of devil attack us now , won't we be like sitting duck with this level of efficiency .
misty figure - kid do you really think it is as simple as that , I promise you should The devil's attack , you will see a united army of God's and their followers facing them . now is a time of peace . in this era profit is more important over victory, show them profit and they will show you efficiency
black sword - but how long do I have to wait , it really does get on my nerves . tell me how long will it take .
misty figure - they won't delay for long , maybe a week or two would be the maximum .
black sword - I am feeling like we should bit wait for the reinforcement and should just attack right now . I am sure they do not have enough forces to fight us of . they have just entered this realm.
misty figure - remember they have at least a first layered mage with them . you might be an expert of the third layer , but the enemy is damage and you never underestimate a mage ,especially in a war, while he might not kill you he can annhilate your army with his spells . they have too many tricks up their sleeves for us to be completely sure of their capabilities. that's why I have made you request the magician guild to send a mage to help you . you are lucky they accepted the request and are sending a mage .
black sword - but I still don't understand , is it really really that necessary . I am confident I can deal with mage myself . if we didn't request for a mage then it wouldn't take so long . this mages really love negotiating for spoils. we could have requested for holy knights instead .
misty figure - maybe we could have , but a thorn is removed by thorn. mages understand mages the best .holy knights might deal with that mage but it won't be as effective as a mage .
black sword - I understand master , it seems I still have a lot to learn .
misty figure - by the way there is a talk among the soldiers that the wild wolf attack had some relation with you . while most of it is just rumours , make sure that it remains so .
(saying this the figure dissipated .after a few seconds , the flap of the tent opened .)
( a person dressed in the uniform of a messenger entered the room , his view shifting to the overturned table .)
messenger - commander , a message has been sent to you from the superiors .
black sword - give it to me and leave for now
(saying this black sword opened the letter , reading it . black sword face expression changed as he read the letter . he reread the letter as his eyes roved over the sheet of paper . )
black sword - senior. , I need your help .
( MEANWHILE AT THE ALTAR )
(in a makeshift hut made from normal wood . such huts were slowly being built all over inside the walls. there were quite a few of them already built .
Andrew - why did you need to send all those assassin's away .you know how integral the position of a assassin is in a army .
Jacob - calm down brother , my move was the correct one . right now what do you think of Jack coming here asking for reinforcement
Andrew - no idea , maybe he thought that the plan would be successful
Jacob - you really are bad at reading humans , my brother . the genius you show in a battlefield is limited to the battlefield after all , Jack is preparing his own faction , that's the reason he is doing all this .
Andrew - you mean that he is gonna put the little kid as figurehead and use him as a shield secretly controlling all the power , to be honest , I never expected Jack to be scheming . it just seems so not him .
Jacob - no, I don't think so . it must be something like a partnership . Jack must be thinking of training the kid to control these newborn faction . then he shall become like the queen in chess , having great powers but dependant on the power of the king, who in this case will the kid .
Andrew - I do wish that kid had told us his name , does he practice a weird cultivation technique which Involves not disclosing his name to anyone . calling him kid is weird
Jacob - leave that be for now . do you have anyway to replace the surveillance of the assassin's .
Andrew - for now I have increased the number if patrols , though most of them are pissed off about this they are is no significant amount of strain on the body . all of them don't require sleep so most of them are battle ready even after long patrols . the effect of no assassins would have no effect at least in short term but we can't keep it up for long without soldiers complaining .
Jacob - good leave the matter of Jack for now and tell me how are the towers coming up. if they are set up we needn't worry about the patrols
Andrew - the towers are almost set up , they are constructing it with extra motivation due to the matter of patrols .
Jacob - tell them of Jack , they need to know that their allies have left them . tell them if the need comes they would need to take the life of their allies . such type of stuff need quite the bit of preparation.
Andrew - but , it might leave us with a bad image , nobody like to hear that they might need to kill their old allies
Jacob - we might be turned into villains if we tell it now , but we will definitely turn onto villain at the last minute . such type of stuff need time
Andrew - okay then I will tell it today , but I am telling it shall affect the moral of the troops .
Jacob - do it .
(MEANWHILE AT THE PIT . JACK SURROUNDED BY A GROUP OF ASSASSIN'S)
Jack - are you sure everything is ready , do you have everything we need .
shadow one - yes general , if everything goes correctly we will have a explosive day roughly a week and three days later .
Jack - are you completely sure that they will not notice it , if they do it was all pointless . almost years of scheming all gone to waste
shadow one - I know , if it works this world will be facing a true catclasymic event
shadow two - but why do we have do this
jack - what do you think the devil is thinking sending us to this land .
shadow one - maybe he fears the power of this plane , maybe there is something here he wants
jack - maybe , that is pretty likely but I feel like there is something more to the story , anyways how is the escape plans coming up
shadow four - I have already reported to you the best escape routes , general ( palming out a couple of sheets .). these are a couple more.
jack ( seeing the sheet )- none of your escape plans will work , we will have to leave most of our fighting strength here if we follow your plans and we will need if we are to even survive we need a lot of it
shadow four - we literally in tripartite struggle where we , our side wanting to escape the fight and after the plan the other two sides will also be after us , and after the plan they might even help each other
jack - leave it be then . leave be this escape plans and make a proper map of our surroundings presently that will be more important . take a couple of shadows with you .anyways they have no work here
shadow four - sure .
jack - all of you , so your given jobs and prepare for the war that shall follow .
jack (to himself ) - while I have to go and kidnap a kid
