Chereads / The Royal Guard: The Return of The Legends / Chapter 52 - Chapter forty-seven: Resentful Fury

Chapter 52 - Chapter forty-seven: Resentful Fury

End of October, Madame Stroika's mansion in Petroskia, the owner of the place was irritated and aggressive, she was in the living room meeting with the holograms of Vidar, Maynard and Valtor, Helloise was not with a very inviting face, nor a little bit.

– What do you mean those three bastards didn't give clues as to where they hid the tokens?! – Helloise said, she was furious throwing her glass of whiskey against a wall, shattering it. She was wearing a red dress with a glossy black fur coat.

– Calm down Helloise, I just need some more time to find out where the 3GLWM hid the tokens, at least now we know where they are, they are all over Celestia. – Valtor said, he was wearing a black pinstripe suit and light blue dress shirt.

– Valtor is right, we know that the tokens are spread out there, we just need to be careful. – Vidar nodded, he was wearing a large, thick brown overcoat with gold buttons.

– Calm down… I've been waiting for months, I need these tokens. – Helloise said.

– Madam Stroika we need to be careful, these things take time... I understand that you found the original resting places for the tokens, but in the end they were empty... We will have them crushed under our feet. – Maynard said that he saw that they needed to wait a little longer, the mage wore a salmon pink shirt and black dress pants.

– More cautious? I'm going to deliver a blow they'll never forget, I'm going to show them that Madame Stroika is back and not weak at all... I'm going to hit where they're most sensitive. – Said M. Stroika who seemed angry.

– What do you intend to do, Madame Stroika? – Valtor said worriedly, he knew how powerful the former leader of the stroikan army was, all the destruction she could spread.

– I will destroy Belladona Academy to the last brick, kill each student... Destroy this new generation of mages, take their future as they took the future of the empire, but I will rebuild it. – Helloise said that he had a manic look.

– Ms. Helloise, don't you think it's better to wait a little longer? Since Kharkov's downfall it's difficult to make traffic through his lands without drawing attention, the cells are isolated, it would take a long time to take our entire army spread around the world... Making a transport spell in the middle of Belladona is almost impossible. – Maynard said.

– That idiot Kharkov, he was unlucky to fall into Morrigan's path, honestly even I would have been careful when teasing that woman, but we're getting along pretty well… Maynard you're in Merciolos, Vidar in Kanadian, south and north borders with Celestia, I will order part of our contingent to go to these locations, I will take 12 generals, the others will take care of the other bases that will be more unprotected... Kiara is already going to take the lands of Kharkov from that useless brother of his who took over of the lands... You have five days to carry out the moves, then we head to Wisdom Island to bring the Academy down. – Helloise ordered, she was angry as never before, and she had reasons for that.

– Ma'am, it's not so easy, how am I going to make a transit of thousands of paramilitaries go unnoticed by the Royal Guard? – Said Valtor.

– YOUR PROBLEM, NOT MINE! 5 days... In 5 days we will attack BA[1] and destroy everything, they'll be disoriented and the more captains we take to hell together the better... I'm tired of being in the shadows, few know I'm back, they haven't spread because they don't want to shake up world governments and populations , well I'll show you that I'm back and this time I'll finish what I started. – Helloise said that he was relentless, even through the holograms the mages could feel the power of M. Stroika, she seemed even more powerful than usual, a really frightening force and worthy of reverence and fear.

– As you wish, my lady! – The three said, they dared not deny the orders of their top leader.

– And I'll fight, I'll have the pleasure of taking that place down, send the 3GLWM to Hell, I'll finish them off too... No one will stand in my way to fix this world, for a long time I thought they had become unparalled powers, but no more. – Helloise said, sparkled in anxiety and fury to fight.

– In 5 days then, Belladona will be overthrown, but I only ask… – Valtor began.

– I'll spare your daughter, don't worry, Valtor, I don't forget my agreements, now you have your way... The troops will be close to the southern and northern borders, they will wait for the signal... I know the Gallard have special seals for transport throughout Celestia, you only need to produce two master seals so they can be launched by two other mages to open the portals... Vidar and Guilherme will be in Belladona with Valtor waiting to give the signal, do we understand? – Helloise said, which showed that even mad and taken by rage, she did not lose her advanced strategic capabilities.

– Three seals, since I'm going to betray my nation on this level, why not just kill my mother and sister for the crown? I want some of the warriors to go to the palace. – Valtor said with conviction, since he was going to betray his people, better do it right.

– Ambitious, I like this... Now that you have your orders, move on, 5 days is not as long as it seems. – Helloise said dismissing his three contacts.

– Madam! – Said the three who soon turned off the hologram.

Helloise then seeks to calm down, she climbs the stairs heading to Ohana's room, there the goddess was already sitting more stable on the bed, even though she was far from her true power, she still emanated a lot of power and grandeur.

– What about our plans? My brothers? – Asked Ohana.

– 5 days my lady, in five days we will give a direct blow to Celestia and once they are out of order I will raze every piece of that country behind the tokens. – Helloise said, sure of her intentions.

– Coming from you I would not doubt, I can see the souls of mortals, you fear nothing, you would destroy children without even having remorse for what you believe to be right… I imagine recovering the tokens will take time, but seeing Celestia in pain will be a wonderful preview. – Ohana said, she seemed to be stabilizing with time and increasingly relentless. – If you need my assistance just call me, I'll be here to recover. –

– But what about Celestia's protective barriers against forced entry? I've been building an efficient breach with Valtor for months. – Helloise said.

– Perhaps these mages of yours need it… But for a goddess? Don't be ridiculous, I'll go through it in moments, but destroying it completely would be too costly, that's ancient magic mixed with the blood of primordial Olympus. – Ohana said.

– What matters is that this time we are the ones who will throw the first punch, unlike the last war. – Helloise said.

– Rest, gather your strength… Maybe we can't take the city after the Academy has fallen. – Ohana said. – Mrs. Fhypher always said that eliminating the young, the future, was always a good way to destabilize and eradicate the enemy's hopes. –

– And I completely agree. – nodded M. Stroika.

So an imminent attack began to spawn, the chaos, the storm was about to unleash upon Celestia and her young people, her future was in the crosshairs of all this anger and hatred. The resentment and bitterness would bring more conflict and death, the question now would be which side would have the least losses, it was a bold attack that if successful would give much advantage to Madame Stroika's plans for domination.
