Global Composite Master: Compositing an Undead Army from the Start

Chapter 494: Chapter 256: Eternal Night Evil-Gathering Array! (Five in One)_2

Chen Mo had thought his opponent was on the third level, but in reality, they were only on the first.

They had simply retreated because the current environment was unsuitable for them to take action.

To prevent any issues with the United Forces from the rear that could jeopardize the mission, Chen Mo immediately turned and flew back.

When he returned, the United Forces were in the midst of a fierce battle.

After all, the forces were led by three Marshals, eight Generals, and eight Rebel Army Leaders.

This amounted to a total of nineteen BOSS-grade individuals.

With such a lineup, unless the enemy deployed a high-level BOSS-grade character, they shouldn’t even think of causing trouble.

Chen Mo didn’t even need to make a move.

These individuals, coupled with Alina’s replication ability, were already enough to take care of everyone ambushed in the woods.

However, their ability to proceed so easily was mainly due to Chen Mo having eliminated the Demonic Queen Nylia early on.

Otherwise, there would still be a vast number of Magic Traps to detonate in the forest.

Even if the United Forces had experts capable of disarming traps, these Magic Traps, enhanced by Demon Art, would have posed a formidable challenge.

They could not even detect them.

Fortunately, it didn’t matter now even if they couldn’t detect them. Nylia’s Avatar was no longer present, and the Demonic Queen in the Imperial City was beyond the maximum range to control and detonate these Magic Traps remotely.

Due to the inaction of the Ruthless Legion (people from Yongming Star) and the premature elimination of Nylia’s Avatar, the Savage Ancient Forest, originally a difficult checkpoint, was easily overcome by the United Forces.

「Inside the Imperial City.」

Larseis almost exploded in rage when he received the report from his informant.

“What!? The Ruthless Legion fled straight back?”

“Yes, according to the scout’s report, they didn’t even enter the Savage Ancient Forest to fight; they fled straight back.”

“Those damned curs! They used to be so prudent in their tasks. Why are they acting so abnormally today? Don’t tell me they’re planning to rebel as well?”

“Perhaps Your Lordship should summon the leader of the Ruthless Legion for questioning.”

Larseis nodded. “Summon him quickly.”

Randy and his entire team had just fled back to the Imperial City when he was immediately summoned to the Prime Minister’s Mansion; the Prime Minister had questions for him.

Seeing this, Randy wasn’t concerned at all, as he had already prepared an excuse.

In a short while, Randy emerged from the Prime Minister’s Mansion unharmed. The Prime Minister even looked pleased, praising Randy for his excellent planning.

This left the servants around the Prime Minister’s Mansion baffled by their unpredictable Prime Minister.

Before the leader of the Ruthless Legion arrived, the Prime Minister had been furiously cursing. However, after just a few words, he was all smiles and praising the man.

…

Once the United Forces emerged from the Savage Ancient Forest, they immediately saw the Imperial City standing in the distance.

“We’ve come all this way, and there are still two hidden missions we haven’t found,” Alina said, looking at the Imperial City and laughing.

“I was already suspicious about the Empire having three hidden missions and the Rebel Army having five. I reckon the last two hidden missions are likely related to the second option: dealing with the Grand Marshal and deposing the Emperor,” Chen Mo communicated to Alina via the Heavenly Path System.

After all, expressing these thoughts while surrounded by staunch imperial loyalists wouldn’t be wise.

Having checked the Grand Marshal’s attributes, Alina had more or less given up on this route.

As for Chen Mo, if Alina weren’t in this instance, he would have genuinely wanted to try it.

The main issue was that the Grand Marshal’s abilities were too devastating. Firstly, she was uncontrollable. Secondly, her attack range was too wide. Lastly, anyone killed by her would leave no remains, making resurrection impossible.

So, neither of them was keen on pursuing this path.

Conversely, their enemy, Randy from the Yongming Star System, was desperately trying to drag the Grand Marshal into this.

When the United Forces arrived before the Imperial City, everyone looked at each other, unsure of the next course of action.

They had only come to depose the Demonic Queen and the treacherous Prime Minister, not to rebel.

In this situation, it would be best to first send someone to speak with His Majesty the Emperor and the Grand Marshal.

Otherwise, attacking the Imperial City directly would seem rather inappropriate.

Albert and Lilith both proposed this request simultaneously.

Chen Mo glanced at Lilith in surprise. The stance of this Chief Commander of the Rebel Army seemed rather odd to him.

However, since they had already reached the Imperial City, he couldn’t be bothered to dwell on it.

When Albert and Lilith simultaneously proposed this request, naturally, no one else had anything to say.

One was a veteran Imperial Marshal, possessing both status and prestige.

The other was the Chief Commander of the Rebel Army; naturally, no one dared to object.

Soon, the individuals to go for the talks were decided.

The three Marshals and Lilith, the Chief Commander of the Rebel Army, were chosen to go.

Seeing this, Chen Mo immediately said, “Wait, let’s not do this!”

After all, if these four went in, they would effectively be isolated.

Currently, within the Imperial City, aside from the Demonic Queen and the treacherous Prime Minister who held considerable power, there was also that group from the Yongming Star System.

The presence of these individuals made Chen Mo uneasy about these four leaving the main force to negotiate.

“We’ve come all this way, and the Grand Marshal still hasn’t shown herself. It’s clear that as long as His Majesty the Emperor is not threatened, she won’t intervene. In that case, what’s there to negotiate? Let’s just storm the Imperial City and eliminate the Demonic Queen and the treacherous Prime Minister!”

The main reason these individuals wanted to negotiate was their fear of the Grand Marshal.

Hearing Chen Mo’s words, the others felt he had a point.
