Global Composite Master: Compositing an Undead Army from the Start

Chapter 487: Chapter 253 Confronting Capital! (Two in One)_3

Erice laughed and said, “If one marshal surrenders, it’s betrayal. If two marshals surrender, there’s a hidden story involved. But when three Marshals and eight Generals all join the Rebel Army, there’s much more to this than a simple rebellion. I’m quite curious about what they are up to.”

With absolute power comes absolute confidence. No matter how strong the enemy alliance, in Erice’s eyes, everything was still under her control, so she was indifferent to how powerful her opponents might be.

Hearing her, one of her subordinates spoke up, “I suspect they’re rallying to cause trouble for the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister. Hasn’t the Emperor always prevented you from intervening? It seems he must have tacitly given his consent.”

“I thought so too, initially,” Erice replied. “However, the sudden appearance of rebels attempting to assassinate the Emperor made me think my speculation was wrong. But now, the identity of those people is difficult to discern, making things even more confusing. Anyway, a grand show is clearly unfolding. Since the Emperor doesn’t want me to intervene, let’s just sit back and watch from the Imperial City.

“As long as they don’t pose a threat to the Emperor, I can’t be bothered to interfere.”

At this moment, Erice was entirely in the mood to watch the unfolding drama.

「In the Dark Canyon」

After everyone gathered, they began to discuss what other forces the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister might have at their disposal. Their journey so far had been too smooth, with hardly any obstacles. This was highly unusual, as it was said that the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister had many measures at their disposal. They had the powerful Ruthless Legion under their command and ten deadly Assassins, none of whom had yet made a move. More importantly, it was rumored that the Queen Mother practiced demonic arts and could summon some evil creatures, but none had appeared.

It is always calm before the storm.

Everyone was now getting that feeling.

After they had all consolidated the current information, listing the potential tactics the Queen Mother and Prime Minister might employ along with countermeasures, they regrouped their forces and marched swiftly towards the Imperial City!

As Chen Mo and his group departed.

「Meanwhile, in the Yongming Star System.」

Randy and his team had initially planned to wait until Chen Mo and his comrades reached the Imperial City before taking action. Doing so would have given them a chance to drag the Grand Marshal into the fray, but now that the Prime Minister’s envoys were urgently pushing them, Randy and his team were quite annoyed.

“So, is the Array completely set up?”

“It’s completely done, Captain. It took a lot of effort, and now it covers the entire Imperial City.”

“Good. The more measures we have against that Solar System Monster, the more secure we are. We’re thoroughly familiar with coordinating our various abilities, the Array is in place, and apart from failing to drag the Grand Marshal in, everything else we could prepare has been perfected. Now, all we can do is wait for the actual results!”

“But Captain, the way the Prime Minister is pushing us, it’s as if the Heavenly Dao itself is urging us on. If we continue to hide in the Imperial City, I’m afraid the Prime Minister will deal with us first.”

“Hmph, then we’ll march out as he wishes. But whether we’ll encounter some situation that forces us back, who knows,” Randy sneered, his meaning already clear.

Everyone immediately understood. “That makes sense, Captain,” one of them voiced. “We can fight as we retreat and allow ourselves to be forced back to the Imperial City. Even if we can’t really get the Grand Marshal to join the fray, at least we can use the pre-set Array to increase our leverage.”
