Chereads / The Throne of Sovereignty / Chapter 18 - Raid on the capital

Chapter 18 - Raid on the capital

Andrew POV

"It has been 1 month and we haven't started our rescue mission yet, is it really that hard to find one damn facility?" I asked the beast who was responsible for locating the facility.

She was more of an angel then beast. She was 10 meter tall and had two white feathery wings on her back her appearance was similar to our humanoid form. She was given the responsibility to track the location of facility if it changes after lord enters the tower and she was also the healer of our group.

She didn't reveal much information about her power saying that lord has instructed her not to and she was the reason lord was able to track the facility every time the location changed. Apart from her healing ability she was also some type of tracker and that is what she was doing right now but waiting for the whole month doing nothing I had passed the limit of my patience.

"Aren't you going to answer me, Celine?" I asked again and she stood up from her meditative pose while holding some necklace type item in her hand which was given to her by lord.

"Gather everyone we need to discuss something." After saying this she left the room and I too moved.

Celine POV

It has been more than hundred thousand year since I had been travelling with Lord Alex. He wasn't the one who had approached me to join his group but it was i who had asked him to let me accompany him.

I did not have a healing ability, but possessed an item made out of an X rank beast core which had the same effect as healing. The ability which I had possessed was to track people's soul.

While lord was in abyss he had recovered the family pendent of Emily from his father whom we were about to rescue. In order to track the person's current location I had to have some physical object related to them and that necklace was the reason we were able to locate the facility for this long. But even after checking for dozens of time the current location of facility, I couldn't believe that king would take such a big risk.

Waking me up from my thought was the noise of door opening and the rescue team entered the big conference room I was sitting in. Everyone took their seat while one beast whose size was 30 meter stood behind us. Seeing this Andrew manifested for him a big enough seat of his size and he took it.

"What have you found?" Jacob asked and everyone looked at me.

"The facility has been moved to the capital city of planet Theorus, beneath the royal palace." Everyone stared at me with the look of disbelief on their faces.

"How certain are you?" Jacob asked.

"There is no doubt about it, lord had anticipated he may do something like this but even he was not sure about it. It was also a very risky move for king to shift his biggest secret to such a crowded place." I said.

"So did lord made any contingent plan for this kind of situation?" The 2nd strongest among the retainer Agatha spoke looking at everyone and then settling her eyes on me.

"When I asked him about what will he do in this situation he said we have to make as much chaos as possible in the capital to distract the attention away from the palace or attract the attention of every dragon toward the palace for them to intentionally move the facility away from the capital." I continued.

"Even then it will not be easy." Jacob spoke.

"It was never an easy task to begin with." Andrew spoke.

"If we choose the first option we can move instantly, I may be able to get some help from old friends." Andrew said gathering everyone attention.

"By old friends, do you mean the resistance force which you were part of previously?" Jacob asked.

"Yes they will not be of much help in our task but they will serve as a good distraction." Andrew said.

"If we would have known king would do something like this we would have infiltrated the castle with Lord Alex." Sam spoke, he was the 4th powerful retainer in the ranking and possessed the ability of darkness element it was different from the shadow ability.

"What is done is done, as long as the leaders are in the royal palace no matter how we try to attract the attention of dragons, nobody will act, our best bet is to not wait any longer and go with the first option." Jacob spoke.

"We will rely on Resistance forces to disable the teleportation blocking array of capital and we will move according to plan, we will escape with the help of teleportation scroll lord has given to us." Jacob spoke once again.

"How confident are you that they will accomplish their task?" Sam asked.

"I was the part of Resistance in the past and I can vouch for their strength that if king is not present in capital they are more than capable to shake the capital to its core." Andrew said.

"And why would they help us?" Agatha asked.

"Let's say, their leader owns quite a big favor to lord Alex, they will help." Andrew spoke in a reassuring tone.

"That is not the only problem we have, we have received the information that there are 3 leaders present in the castle and one of them is 5th leader." Jacob spoke and looked toward Agatha for a moment.

Suddenly everyone felt an intense bloodlust leak from Agatha the 2nd retainer which disappeared as fast as it came.

"Handling 3 leaders at the same time will not be easy but that is the fight we can't avoid." Everyone nodded at Andrews words and we are bringing with us a considerable amount of strength.

"So it is decided that we will first infiltrate royal palace and try to achieve our objective as soon as possible at the same time resistance forces will divert the attention of whole capital away from us and also try to disable the teleportation blocking array." Andrew summarized our discussion.

"We will give one week time to Resistance forces for preparation and Jacob will handle the matter regarding our infiltration in Royal palace as well as gathering as much as information about facility from our spy in the palace." Andrew concluded and stood up.

"Sam if you can ask your former mercenary group to assist the resistance forces in return we will give them whatever they desire even if it is a favor from lord Alex in the future." Andrew spoke and sam nodded.

"Our subordinate will also help you if the task is to create chaos in the realm of dragons." The huge beast whose size was 30 meter spoke, his name was rhino.

"How much strength do you possess?" Andrew asked.

"At least thousand S rank beasts and many berserk beasts which can be used as expendables." Rhino spoke once again.

"Gather as many forces as you can within one week and contact us." Saying this Andrew looked at Agatha.

"I think this is the right time to use those weapons we have accumulated." Andrew spoke and Agatha nodded, she was not only tower master but also the caretaker of huge armory owned by Lord Alex his collection of weapons was unrivaled in whole dragon realm.

"Okay." Agatha agreed.

"I think it is time we create history and do the only thing never done before in dragon realm ever before, we will Raid the capital." Andrew declared proudly.

"Did you forget the king isn't present in the capital and we will be written as cowards in the history of dragon realm because we are attacking when capital is at its weakest." Sam said.

"Whatever, let's make our own preparation and meet six days from now in the same place." Andrew declared the end of discussion and everyone left the room.

Alex POV

[50th floor cleared successfully, please proceed to the next floor.]

"It was more difficult than I thought, wouldn't you agree Demion?" I spoke dusting my clothes and coming where an intense battle has taken place recently. Demion was standing there on the corpse of a huge beast whose size was equal to that of an mountain.

"Yes Lord." He replied respectfully.

"But lord I don't understand the reason why you always tell me to imagine my enemies as 1st leader and fight with anger and desire to kill considering until you have taught me to fight with clear mind and it is because of you that I was able to overcome that trauma." Demion asked the question which was plaguing his mind since the first floor.

"Ohh you will know soon enough for now just do whatever I tell you to do." I replied.

"Okay, But in a single month we have reached the 50th floor maybe in another month or two we will be reaching the 99th floor." He commented while following me toward the portal to next floor.

"Yes, but we will not enter the 99th floor until one year has passed because that is the time I have given second team to complete their mission." I said to him.

"Okay lord" He said and I stored him inside the space pocket and proceeded to next floor.
