The man looked at the Seventh Prince, "Don't get me wrong, Prince, they're going to suffer for what they have done. However, we can't take the normal approach. Clearly, they are after you two, and if they choose to hide, we can't find them. If that's the case, why don't we force them out?"
"How are we going to do that?" One of the men in the Late stages asked.
"Simple, slaughter humans." The man at the Peak replied mercilessly. He has always looked down on humans, he could never accept the fact that a group of humans dared to step into their territory and even killed multiple people right in front of the Princes.
He didn't think highly of the Princes after this incident.
The Princes could see the changed in the eyes of the man, not just the man, but all those at the Peak who returned. When they saw the situation of the castle, and how many people died, and after finding out it was done by a group of four youths who only had one person that was at the Peak of the Elemental Venerable Plane, they felt irritated.
"Since that's what we've come up with, we should execute it then. I'd like to see how they would react." The Second Prince said.
The Seventh Prince took a glance at the man and asked, "Forcing them out will warrant us to leave the castle too, wouldn't it be dangerous?"
The eyes of the man who brought the suggestion changed softly, he didn't think about this part.
"Don't worry, we will be by your side, the others will be the ones who have to carry out this mission." The man reassured them of their safety.
"You said he's the one who can cut off our links to the puppets?" Another man at the Peak asked curiously.
The Seventh Prince nodded to the question.
"Hmm, he's too dangerous, we must kill him, no matter the cost." The man said.
"Exactly." This was all the Second Prince wanted to hear, how to kill Grey as soon as possible. Forcing Grey out will take quite some time, he wasn't interested in wasting so much time, the sooner he killed Grey, the better he would feel.
"Alright, I have a plan, but it will put the Princes in some danger, don't worry, we will ensure your safety." The man at the Peak said.
"Go on we're listening."
….
Grey and his friends made camp close to the castle, although they were not directly close to the castle, they were not too far from it. Within a few blinks from Grey, he can appear there whenever he wants to.
The group stayed there, awaiting the arrival of the bunny leader. Grey knew that with the bunny leader's help, they would be able to make life hell for the Gnomes while also heading out and getting treasures for themselves.
The area they made camp had zero things of interest, if not for the fact that they needed to keep the Gnomes in check, they would've never stayed in a place like this.
It has been over five hours since the battle and everyone had more or less recovered from the fight. With Klaus present, they weren't too bored.
The bunny leader appeared two hours later. It had been running there with all its speed. Grey released it after they just entered the secret realm, so the distance between them was quite far.
'What do you want?' The bunny leader asked. It was standing on the head of a larger bunny that was at the Peak of the Sage Plane.
Grey looked at it from head to toe before saying, 'I want you to help me monitor the movements of some people. You can communicate with your subordinates even when far away from them, correct?'
The bunny leader nodded its small head.
'You just need to gather some information, they don't need to engage in any battles.' Grey said to it.
The bunny leader brought out some smaller bunnies, all were in the Sage Plane. The bunnies were so small that finding them in a short grass would be almost impossible.
Grey told the bunny leader where he wanted to send the bunnies to, and the bunny leader followed his commands.
It didn't even take up to twenty minutes before he got a report from one of the bunnies, the Princes were moving.
Grey didn't want them to leave this area, he wanted to make sure they were within his grasp. He knew the others at the Peak had arrived, he sensed their auras after they escaped.
"It's a trap." He said to the others.
"You don't have to be a genius to know it's a trap." Klaus said.
"What are you going to do?" He asked Grey.
"I'll go see what they have to offer. I can't let them leave this place. With the Princes here, the other Gnomes would not dare to attack rashly since they know the life of their Prince would be at stake." Grey answered calmly.
He wasn't scared of their trap. The best he could do was go alone, and escape if things went south.
"You know they have more powerful people now. If they stop you from leaving, you're toast." Alice said.
"I'll take Void with me, and there's also this guy." Grey picked up the bunny leader, "Although he hates fighting, he's quite adept in escaping."
"Fine, but don't die foolishly." Alice replied.
Grey smiled, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Grey picked up both Void and the bunny leader, after getting the direction of where the two Princes were located, he charged there.
Klaus and Reynolds were a little worried, they felt they should go with him, but sensing they weren't as strong as Grey, they decided to sit it out.
Alice was worried, but she didn't think too much about it. She was confident that Grey would be able to come out of it alive, as long as the bunny leader and Void were with him, they should be able to keep him alive.
