Chapter 1500 A Gathering Of The Strong

The air was heavy with silence.

Whooshh~

Far above the clear starry sky, many could see larger and brighter stars moving across the sky.

Shooting stars? If thats the case, these were the biggest shooting stars they had ever seen!

The many hot air balloon baskets were covered with plastic, bendable, mirror-like materials that reflected the sky and surroundings, giving a camouflaging illusion of nothing being there.

Of course, even without this, it might be hard for one to see the black-colored basket flying too high up in the sky without any strong binoculars.

The bright flow from the flames created a blinding hue around it, just like the suns Huish rays when one gazed upon it.

To those below, it might be a strong blinding star. But those seated in the many baskets werent affected, gazing down on the vast terrain.

With heavily advanced heat and night vision devices for higher heights, they began scouting the scene diligently.

Nothing Nothing yet.

The many lights had now scattered about the entire perimeter around the many Capital, taking their time to find what they sought.

And soon, many teams indeed had a breakthrough.

.

Look! Look over there! I see them! Scouts on every tree. More than 300 in number!

More than 300 scouts spotting on trees alone? Then the enemy fortress.

The fortress also seemed very hidden, thanks to nature and the strangeness of t.i.tarian.

What a huge fortress!

If not for their night vision devices, they wouldve thought the fortress the whole place was but a forest zone from above.

But that was where they got it wrong.

Ermmm Didnt this look like the ma.s.sive abandoned temples in the Baymardian Lara Croft movie? Could his Majesty have taken inspiration from this place before writing the script?

Fine! Maybe they werent identical. But with the vines and all sorts of greenery covering all buildings, it was impossible for one to know if they were structures or not.

Such places should have trapped doors, escape tunnels, and several other hidden features, right?

What do you think?

In a particular hot air balloon, one of the soldiers asked her colleague. I think youre right. Things might not be as easy as we initially thought. Whats more, the land alone can give us bountiful surprises? So we should observe and outline all we know.

Right!

(*^*)

.

Like so, the 2 ladies began scribbling depictions of the fortress alongside their colleagues within the other hot air balloons.

Everyone began scribbling things directly close to them

Some concerned themselves with the perimeter leading to this hidden fortress. In contrast, others worked in groups, heading north, east, north-east, central, west, and every other direction to sketch what they saw, as well as highlight the presence of many patrolling guards down below.

Take a look at that. What weapon is that?

With night vision on, they could see many holding strange weapons they had never heard of or seen before.

Ah This majesty must hear of this!

They had to admit these weapons looked more robust than those in Pyno.

Eh?

Was this fortress a hidden T.O.E.P one?

In truth, they were slightly right. The fortress belonged to a member of the T.O.R.P residing in t.i.tarian. This fortresss owner was none other than the one they called Lord Mushu, the number one master and controller of operations in the empire!!

Hmmm

Many air force officers diligently carried out their duties, not daring to leave out a single thing.

But what they didnt know was that they werent the only ones getting down to business.

.

Private hall, Hidden Fortress.

In the room, several powerful men gathered, all with their aides and guards beside them, except for the few masked men in black.

Yes. These were the same masked men who visited Camila earlier.

And now, the family was all here, seated in a circular position.

To the right, Cletus sat with his chest raised high, and his mouth hooked proudly. He looked as though saying: Ive won. Soon, I will be monarch, and you all will have to vow to me!

Huh.

Camila, on another end, was still trying to hold her anger in.

Rat b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Dont think I will let you live for long. Soon, your uppings will come!

As for Mushu, he too had the same thoughts as Camila. Dont blame him for being vicious. Keeping this guy alive any further would be detrimental to his plans.

But even if Cletus Ghoul is out of the way, that doesnt mean he would let Camilas son sit on the throne.

No Though he didnt want the throne, he would let either his son or someone trained with loyalty to take up the mantle.

Mushu had thought this far ahead. The killing period was the time for the throne to s.h.i.+ft hands.

.

Oh?

The masked men smirked underneath their masks, already envisioning how b.l.o.o.d.y the next killing period in t.i.tarian.

There was also that guy, Murdoch, A.K.A, Mr. m, the second most powerful after Mushu, was also likely to fight for the throne.

And one shouldnt forget about number 3, number 4, number 5, and even the crooked number 9

Cletus might have beaten everyone to the finish line. But it was hard to say who would emerge victoriously.

But of course, that wasnt why they were here.

The lead masked man in black calmly tilted his head toward Cletus. I take it all your forces have arrived?

Yes, my lords. All forces have arrived and are now within the hidden fortress.

Cletus didnt have a private hideout around the Capital. And though he could camp outside in the forest regions in wait, it would be too risky, lest they got discovered. Additionally, the fortress gave them protection against beast attacks.

Hiding such a big army required they had to go too deep into the dangerous lines around the perimeters.

With t.i.tarians terrain and beasts, they would start battling nature before having a chance to fight with Gregory. So who wants that?

In the end, Mushus fortress was the perfect hideout.

But how could he be so kind?
