YM778.TV Chapter 579 The Search Team Was Wiped Out.
*Clap* *Clap*
The man clapped two times.
A servant walked into the room and bowed,
"Lord Nux."
"Call Lady Astaria."
Nux ordered.
The servant bowed his head and,
"As you command,"
Saying those words, he walked away.
\'To think someone in the Royal Palace would dare to call Lady Astaria instead of going to her… other than him, I don\'t think I would ever find someone crazy enough.\'
The servant was one of the few people who despite not being powerful enough, knew what kind of existence Astaria was.
As someone who had devoted his entire life to the Skyfall Palace, without any lover or children, he was one of the few who knew about the \'Kingdon\'s protector\' and was one of the servants to tended to Lady Astaria\'s needs.
And seeing someone like Nux, who had appeared out of nowhere, calling Lady Astaria like this…
The servant couldn\'t help but be shocked.
\'Anyways, it is not something I should bother with.\'
Suddenly, the servant shook his head and started walking.
*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
He knocked on the door of Astaria\'s room.
"Enter."
Hearing the order, he walked in and bowed,
"Lady Astaria, Lord Nux is calling for you."
Hearing those words, Astaria narrowed her. The servant flinched in fear. Suddenly, a scary smile appeared on Astaria\'s face,
"Heh, that bastard\'s guts are growing huh."
Even though she was complaining, Astaria still stood up and,
"You can leave, I will be there soon."
"A-As you command, Lady Astaria."
The servant bowed and quickly walked away.
Astaria\'s face then turned serious and she walked out of her room and walked towards Nux\'s room.
Of course, she was not petty enough to punish Nux just because he summoned her instead of coming to her room, however, she was still going to give him an earful, with her status, him calling her like that would leave a wrong message.
Especially when even Evane, the Queen of the Skyfall Kingdom would always come to her instead of summoning her.
She might not care about these useless things, but others did and it had a great impact on the Palace\'s atmosphere.
With that thought in her mind, Astaria walked into Nux\'s room without knocking, and then as soon as she entered, she narrowed her eyes,
"Oh? It seems everyone is gathered here."
"Lady Astaria, please have a seat," Nux spoke with a small smile on his face.
Astaria frowned, Nux was acting a bit unusual.
"What happened?" She questioned.
"The Search Team was wiped out," Nux revealed.
"Huh?" Astaria\'s expression changed.
She then turned towards all the women inside the room and seeing that there was no change in their expressions, she realized that every one of them knew about it already.
"How did you know? Is it that strange telepathy magic of yours?"
Astaria questioned.
Nux nodded in agreement.
The Search Party that the Skyfall Kingdom sent into the Wilderness, all of them were the Spies that Nux and his wives had captured.
All of them had Slave Seal implanted in them therefore, all of them could talk to Nux and give him real-time updates about the situation.
Astaria\'s face turned solemn, "It happened earlier than I predicted."
She then glanced at Nux and questioned, "Did you find anything?"
"I did." Nux nodded.
"It was as we predicted.
The Mythical Creature is dead."
Nux revealed.
"Then who killed the Search Party?"
"Herms Lizander."
"Did they manage to enter the Forbidden Area?"
"Yes, they did."
"…"
The room turned silent.
"So everything is finally clear now," Astaria commented after a while.
She didn\'t need to ask much.
Herms killed the Search Party that they sent to the Forbidden Area, this indication was clear enough.
"Indeed." Nux nodded.
"So what are we going to do now?" Felberta questioned.
"Well, Herms killed our Search Party, so he must be thinking that we still think that the Mythical Creature is alive. That is our advantage."
Astaria spoke and continued.
"We now know why the Solid Earth Kingdom was acting strangely, with the Mythical Creature gone, there is no one to keep an eye on the Kingdoms and the Emperors. Now anyone can kill anyone and now there is even a possibility to unify the continent under one big Empire.
The Peace Treaty, which has been holding up and ensuring the Peace of our Continent,
It is now gone."
Nux and his wives felt goosebumps all over their bodies as they heard those words.
"Can we safely assume that Herms wishes to unite the continent under his name?" Evane questioned.
"He might be trying that, however, I doubt that the Solid Earth Kingdom has the power to do that. I don\'t think he would waste so much time in something so pointless knowing that he would fail." Astaria replied.
"What if he is positive that he will not fail?" Amaya questioned.
"What do you mean?" Astaria turned towards Amaya and narrowed her eyes.
"We all know why Solid Earth Kingdom waged war against the Woods Dynasty, he wanted Alcimus to lose patience and involve himself in the war.
He would then use the Treaty as an excuse and would try to unite all the Emperors to kill Alcimus.
As we know, Amletus is already on his side, pressuring you wouldn\'t be difficult either.
Against 3 Emperors, Alcimus would definitely lose, once that happens, only you will be left.
Amletus and Herms would then team up and go against you.
In the end, you are also an Emperor just like them, no matter how strong you are, fighting against 2 Emperors would be simply impossible for you.
Once you are defeated, only those 2 are left, they can simply divide the continent into 2 and rule."
Amaya spoke.
"That is quite plausible."
Nux nodded in agreement.
"Let\'s say that Herms was planning something like that."
Astaria agreed and then questioned,
"What step should we take now?"
"I have a plan." Amaya nodded.
"Amay-." Nux spoke up but before he could complete, Amaya interrupted.
"You agreed to it already. Don\'t go back on your words."
Nux sighed.
