Chapter 289: Chapter 165 First Confrontation Between Two Camps_1

Beast Training Empire, Fiji Province, outside Midwood City.

The nine Blue Star Trialists who had chosen the Imperial Faction had already roughly figured out the situation.

Now, due to the internal turmoil within the Empire, most of Fiji Province had already fallen.

The Necromancy Cult had seized this opportunity to come to various cities to preach and recruit new members.

Currently, it wasn’t just Midwood City, the figures of Necromancy Cult preachers could be found everywhere.

However, although the threat of the Necromancy Cult was immense, they had not openly rebelled.

Right now, the greatest enemy of the Empire was still the rebel forces, resulting in the Empire not having enough manpower to deal with the opportunistic Necromancy Cult.

"Her Highness, elder knights." The Neon Beast Trainer with the ID Beast Doctor spoke politely, "So, what shall we do next, operate on our own, or go and confront the Imperial Army straight away?"

ID Knight of Glory said, "Ha, you just saw the morale of those Imperial Remnant Soldiers, hoping they would take the initiative to attack is wishful thinking."

"We will prepare for both possibilities."

"On one hand, we confront the Imperial Remnant Soldiers, showing them our strength and letting them know that our side has an absolute advantage."

"On the other hand, we infiltrate the lair of the Necromancy Cult on our own, create some chaos, and give them the illusion that the Imperial Army might attack at any moment and has already targeted them."

"This way, if the Necromancy Cult abandons the city and flees, then the Imperial Remnant Soldiers, tasked with blockading Midwood City, will have no choice but to act, and we will be able to enter Midwood City with ease."

"Of course, since the mission is to siege, it’s unlikely that the Necromancy Cult will just abandon the city and run away easily. If the enemy flees upon learning that the Beast Training Legion is about to siege, then the mission would be too simple."

"I reckon that inside Midwood City, there must be something valuable that the Necromancy Cult cares about, or maybe the Necromancy Cult wants to become the new master of Fiji Province, fully emerging from the shadows. Anyway, they won’t give up the city easily."

"In that case, if they know that the Imperial Remnant Soldiers plan to attack, there’s a chance they might take the initiative to strike first. At that time, we could still use this opportunity to encourage the Imperial Remnant Soldiers to join the attack."

"We still need to leverage the strength of the Imperial Remnant Soldiers. Even though they are remnant troops, that Imperial Army brigade still boasts over two hundred men. The Necromancy Cult likely doesn’t have fewer members either, relying on just a few of us alone would be too risky."

Upon finishing, the Knight of Glory looked towards the many Trialists. These third-generation Beast Trainers might not primarily focus on combat, but each one still had some skills of their own.

They all had at least one level 20 Pet Beast, which was passable, certainly stronger than the average members of both factions. Moreover, with a rich array of secondary professions including a doctor, two Breeders, a Forging Master, and a Historian, they might prove useful at some point.

After the Knight of Glory finished his analysis, everyone nodded, clearly understanding who the mainstay was.

The Princess of Light had a level 20 King Species Pet Beast that could contend with a level 30 Dominator Species Pet Beast. In addition to her skills and top-notch equipment, along with three other Knights of the Golden Generation supporting her, the preachers of the Necromancy Cult wouldn’t be able to stir up any trouble.

Whether they could pass through the Breakthrough Secret Realm depended on these few people.

"Let’s settle on that then." The Princess of Light nodded in approval of the Knight of Glory’s suggestion and added, "By the way, Miss Fina, I’m quite interested in what eventually happened to the Necromancy Cult. Do you know the outcome of the Necromancy Cult?"

The princess turned to the African American young woman who claimed to be a Historian.

"Well..." The African American young woman chuckled awkwardly, "I don’t know that."

"Miss Fina, you as a Historian, don’t seem very reliable," the Moonlight Knight said suspiciously.

They had asked the Historian many questions before, but she seemed to have less knowledge than they did.

"I’m just a regular person!" The African American young woman grimaced; after all, these individuals of royal lineage certainly had access to more historical documents than she did.

Besides, she became an Archaeologist merely to enter various Breakthrough Secret Realms for archaeological study and to make money selling historical materials, not to delve very deep.

"I only know that the Empire eventually fell, but it was not at the hands of the Necromancy Cult," the African American young woman said.

"No need to tell us that." The Moonlight Knight facepalmed.

The outcome of the Empire was common knowledge, it was said that the last emperor, in pursuit of immortality, angered a legendary creature and had the nation utterly destroyed.

Currently, the endless internal turmoil within the Empire was also related to the last emperor’s excessively absurd actions.

Of course, the Human Tribe didn’t completely perish, but in fear of the legendary creature’s wrath, they dared not establish another large human state, and the era reverted to one of fragmentation and regional warlords. The great unified Empire was no longer in possession.

There were rumours that the First Generation Emperor Hunt God had succeeded in establishing the nation due to the favor of a legendary creature, while the last emperor enraged a legendary creature, leading to the Empire’s downfall. This part of Empire’s history seemed to come full circle, but it was unknown whether these two legendary creatures were the same being.

"So then, I shall infiltrate Midwood City by myself to create considerable disorder. Perhaps, I should try assassinating that preacher?" spoke the Sunlight Knight, who had remained silent until now.
