Chapter 1295 - 1295 232 The Smoke of Gunpowder Rises Again

1295: Chapter 232: The Smoke of Gunpowder Rises Again 1295: Chapter 232: The Smoke of Gunpowder Rises Again It’s not just the Skeleton Society that’s unlucky; other than the July Club that switched sides, all the cult organizations involved in this operation are currently experiencing the misery of fleeing.

Once the identities of the cult organization members are exposed, they are nothing.

Faced with the strangulation of the Nobles’ Allied Forces from all places, the only choice is to flee.

Compared to the Skeleton Society, however, they are still fortunate.

This wave of encirclement targeting cult organizations also serves as a test of organizational capabilities across nations.

As a benchmark for everyone to learn from, the performance of the Alpha Kingdom Aristocrats in this regard is undoubtedly superior.

The only reason any could escape death is the protection of their Evil God, continuing to participate in activities is definitely impossible.

Almost all cultists, after surviving an ordeal, have chosen to hide and observe the situation.

The sudden absence of allies has really troubled the Church of Ghosts.

The misfortune of other cult organizations is merely a tragedy for members whose identities have been exposed; those who remain underground are still safe.

As the initiators of the event, the Church of Ghosts went all-in this round.

Their entire asset has been exposed under the eyes of the nobles, making it impossible to go undercover again.

Inside the ancient castle, looking at a table full of “special” cuisine, no one can muster any interest.

At this moment, the Church of Ghosts is in a situation where it is difficult to get off the tiger’s back.

Allies can’t come, and relying solely on their own power, it’s absolutely impossible to overturn the rule of the Black Forest Kingdom.

“Leader, the investigation is clear now, the news came from the mouth of Hudson the God Slayer.

Of all the Holy Religion organizations that participated in the last gathering, only the July Club was not severely damaged, it’s almost certain that they were the ones who leaked the information.

The July Club originates from the declining nobles in the north, coincidentally Hudson’s Koslow Family used to be declining nobles from the north as well.

The Koslow Family is thriving with many branches, it’s not surprising that some of them joined the July Club, it’s even possible that they were the initiators.

The mysterious Master of the July Club has never revealed his true face, and speculation about his identity is varied.

According to the information obtained from the Skeleton Society, they suspect that the Master of the July Club is just a figurehead and that the real power behind the scenes could very well be The Royal Family.

This organization, besides shouting some outrageous slogans, does not have even a bit of Holy Religion’s style in its actions.

It is very likely that the club was set up by The Royal Family to check the power of the five major families in the north.

From the current situation, the Koslow Family is also under considerable suspicion.

Behind the scenes, Hudson has provided shelter for many members of the July Club, many of whom are his relatives.

Although the Koslow Family’s power declined in the past, they still have friends and relatives throughout the middle and lower noble circles.

It’s not impossible to establish the July Club with a single capable hero.”

Hearing his subordinate’s analysis, the Lord of Darkness is not at all relieved but even more filled with anger.

Having gathered so much information, why wasn’t it reported earlier?

If he had known that the July Club was problematic, he certainly would not have invited them.

With the absence of the July Club, the success rate would have decreased by a few percentage points; including the July Club has directly squandered all hopes.

“Ghost, what is your intelligence department doing?

Why wasn’t a report filed in advance?”

Faced with the boss’s questioning, the Ghost in charge of intelligence is also full of grievances.

How could such a complex issue be investigated clearly in a short time?

The current investigation results are only based on a very small amount of information gathered, and more are inferred by reverse deduction + imagination.

How much the investigation conclusion differs from the truth is unclear even to Ghost himself.

Being able to come up with a conclusion so quickly is solely for the sake of going through the motions.

The only difference is that the answer he provided seems too real, making it appear as if the intelligence department had prior knowledge.

“Leader, our intelligence department’s activities have always been confined to the Black Forest Kingdom, simply incapable of extending our reach to the Kingdom of Alpha.

The information we have now is mainly based on intelligence provided by the Skeleton Society and analyzed.

Before this, there was no evidence proving the July Club was connected with the high levels of Alpha Kingdom, and their political slogans were even despised by all nobles.

If not for this exposure, probably no one would believe that the July Club’s sponsors might be The Royal Family or the Koslow Family.”

Ghost hurriedly explained.

He dares not carry this blame; once admitted, all responsibility for the failure of this operation falls on his head.

According to the tradition of the Church of Ghosts, having committed such a great sin, the only outcome is to be unable to live but unable to die.

“Hmph!”

“Useless!”

“So many resources invested in the cult, and you can’t even manage this small task, really incompetent!”

…

Facing the relentless scolding from his boss, Ghost internally breathes a sigh of relief.

Being able to stand here and be scolded is good; the more he is scolded, the safer he is.

If they really wanted him to take the blame, there wouldn’t be an opportunity to stand here and be scolded.

Surviving in a cult organization, as long as his life is not in danger, being a punching bag for the boss is a minor issue.

Perhaps tired from the scolding, or maybe realizing that scolding doesn’t solve the problem, the Lord of Darkness gradually calmed down.

“That bastard Hudson dares to ruin our plans, if there’s a chance later on, I will definitely dismember him to pieces!

The previous operation has already exposed a lot.

Following the leads, the enemy will be able to identify our people.

Now, the Holy Religion has the arrow on the bow and has to shoot.”
