[Hidden town, Kaido's Manor]
For some time after dressing up on proper clothing, Kaido was informed that the building they were currently living in belongs to him
The freed slaves however build this put of pure will to show their gratitude towards him, with the increasing number of its residents the workforce of people who was building this place also increases, thus they managed to finish building such Manor after two months including furnishing it
Currently the whole continent of humans are in turmoil as the empire branded Kaido as a Nationwide criminal and had putted a huge bounty on his head for all mercenaries to take notice and be motivated to capture or kill him
To discuss their next move Kaido and his companions discussed such matter inside an office that was made for Kaido by the slaves
"In order to start our discussion, I think a proper intro for the hidden town is needed?" Raises Pablo as he putted an indent to his words to catch everyone in the rooms attention
Currently the people who are in this room are the people who follows Rebecca, Melfina, Okou, Pablo, Anna, Marquez Lucio, princess Ingrid sitting on a chair and on her lap is Sui who she is combing her hair with her fingers while at her back waiting further orders is Zia, and Sarah, and finally Kaido the leader himself
"Firstly the current population of the hidden town since it's establishment is 53,867 former slaves, 3,057 commoners, 1,027 migrants, 302 either merchants, blacksmiths, fishers, farmers, etc., And finally the only noble inside this town is Marquez Lucio, Rebecca, and her mother" reported Pablo
"So basically its like 90% slaves, while the rest of the 10% are are chopped to little factions that differ in lifestyles... . . All in all are 58, 256 and that is also included the people inside this room" Calculated Marquez Lucio
"That is how many slaves was brought here using the connections in the underworld" stated princess Ingrid as she sigh and patted Sui
"Underworld? Do you mean you guys have connections with the underworld powers that made you be able to accumulate such slave population on this hidden area without anyone noticing?" Asks Marquez Lucio in surprise
In reply to that Pablo spoke in
"Basically... . . From the start we used the underworld connections to make this happen, but it wasn't easy... . . Since you need power to receive service in the underworld... . . Us former slave merchants have to exagerate about Kaido-sama traits to basically make him intimidating, well it is true that he is currently intimidating which is a plus for us, but you don't need to out your finger on that since it's a trade secret, just being here is already crucial" stated Pablo without any sign of respect towards Marquez Lucio
On the contrary the person himself didn't even mind it as he nodded in understanding
"I see"
After that the discussion moved from introduction towards the discussion regarding the movements of the empire
"Firstly Kaido-sama what do you plan to do next?" Asks Pablo
After thinking it through Kaido answered
"I've decided, I'm going through with the next phase of my task... . . I'm going to the Beastman Country" answered Kaido
"Beastman Country? Overseas? Why?" Asks Pablo in confusion
"Firstly I want to meet Sui's mother, and secondly I was planning to cross over to arrive at the elven nation" explained Kaido
"With that we had to pass through the Ingra Kingdom first before going through Screa Port City and find a boat, I have a matter to do Ingra Kingdom after all" he added
Hearing that Anna volunteered herself
"I'm that case I'm going to set up.a teleportation circle directly to it"
"But aren't your teleportation required you to know the location yourself?" Asks princess Ingrid
"Indeed but if you provided me with enough current location, I may be able to pinpoint it and possibly set it up" she replied
"Understood! I'll help, I'll give you it's coordinates" stated princess Ingrid as she hugged Sui
Taking that into account Pablo coughed once before continuing
"That's fine and all but let me remind you since the empire has branded Kaido-sama as a criminal and putted a huge bounty on his head, numerous spies where scattered around the continent to different kingdoms by numerous royalty In order to gain the Empire's favorability... . . Basically many sent spies to Ingra Kingdom by different powers" reported Pablo
"The Ingra kingdom was also forcefully pressured by other kingdoms, I'm order to ease their suspicions we told them that we will cooperate but you should know that the kingdom wouldn't betray it's sole benefactor for saving it, we wouldn't return good for evil" assured princess Ingrid
Hearing that everyone in the to felt at ease as princess Ingrid told them that the kingdom wasn't betraying them
"In terms going through the Ingra kingdom is basically like going barely naked as multiple spies watch over your every movements, if your location will be known, huge movements from different Kingdom's and Empire will also occur afterwards" said Pablo
"So your saying the kingdom isn't a safe place" summarized Rebecca causing Melfina who cares about Kaido's safety have a headache for the first time in her life
"So I suggest that we go there incognito, even if this action would cause many to suspect us, it wouldn't be a huge deal.since it's only a speculation... " Suggested Pablo
As Pablo suggested such idea to forego the plan, Kaido himself spoke up and gave an idea in which they didn't expect it at all
"There's no need for incognito"
"!!!"
"Kaido-sama! What do you mean?" Asks Melfina in concern
"Kaido-dono?" Reacted princess Ingrid
As they gave their concern the others also followed through as they gave him a questionable gaze
"If what they laid is a trap for me then why not use it against them?" Ask kaido
"Use it against them? It would be reassuring if that was easy but how do you plan to use the trap laid by different powers against them?" Asks Pablo
"Simple! Anna would advance ahead of us and cast a domain to isolate the place around us by 80 kilometers covering the whole kingdom and it's near land isolating the inside from the outside" said
"But isn't that move would just notify them of your actions?"
"That's why we'll have other sorcerer's from other kingdoms that is under the powers of the underworld to do the same, at different time, while as they did they would cause commotions arise to the different kingdoms... . . With that multiple reports will be given to the empire but all of those will be fake report of us being there to cause trouble" said Kaido while giving off a smirk
"Wha... . . "
For a moment Pablo was at a loss for words as he actually didn't think of such an absurd idea before, due to that he now have a different impression of Kaido as someone who can actually use his brain if needed
"This guy is just too dangerous, not only is he powerful, but also he's crazy smart" he thought to himself
"Of course I'll have to cause trouble inside Ingra Kingdom too to not make them suspicious... . . So I'll have many of your men to go and stand at this certain location" said Kaido as he pointed at numerous location on the map of Ingra kingdom
The map however was provided by princess Ingrid in order to help Kaido, it's the least she could do
Seeing at the numerous location even Pablo was confused why Kaido chose numerous unexplainable locations, some at the roads, while others at the market and others at the slums
"Give your men a magic crystal each, just a fragment... . . Since the crystal itself has a unique trait, I can easily distinguish such trait" he added
With that pablo spoke up
"What? What are you going to do to my men and why such locations? It's just doesn't make sense?"
To answer that Kaido gave a wide grin as he said
"I'll have them act as a boey point, their locations are fixed and with this I'll be able to locate all of the spies within the kingdom... . . And the moment I'll sense them by sending occasional seismic wave to locate them like a radar, I'll change the atmosphere around them to a flammable gas such as methane and make the as sensitive as much as possible that even sunlight from the sun is enough to light them up and kill them causing firework of explosion, basically its like we can see them but they can't see us, they'll die without even knowing why"
Hearing his devious plan everyone inside the room felt chills on their spine the moment Kaido said "they'll die without even knowing why" causing some to be shock and back away
"Imcomprehensible!!! This guy is really dangerous" thought Pablo
After hearing such words even Marquez Lucio felt grim the thought of Kaido turning his attention towards the empire and thought about causing chaos and genocide to happen within the empire
Finally Melfina spoke up as she mustered her courage
"Boey? What's that?"
"Boey is simple as a term of mirrored wave, with them located at different places they can mirror my radar wave to further expand my scope of detection to a certain degree, with such method nothing can escape my sight even if they have to go under the sewers or over the skies, in terms no escape" with that everyone again felt astonished
Taking the initiative Kaido finalize the plan
"That will be the action we will take... . . I want no further rejection, my words are absolute since it's the best outcome we could possibly take while causing damage to the empire... . . Rebecca say your farewell's to your family since after this we will be leaving the continent and won't be back for a while and Anna advance ahead of us and prepare the isolating domain, the others prepare tomorrow morning we will move and cause havoc... . . Let's give the empire some headache shall we?"
With that said the meeting was adjourned as everyone slowly left as they discussed tommorrows activity
As they left only Pablo was left inside the room while facing Kaido, which caught the latter's attention
"What do you want?" Asks Kaido
"Those unknown words, imcomprehensible tactics of war, unexplainable body complex and more over absence of Mana in your body" stated Pablo causing the latter to be alert on what possibly Pablo would do
"Kaido-sama! Just tell me... . ."
Trying to discern his words Kaido readied for any possible assault, but his next words greatly stunned him
"Who are you? Or basically what are you?"
