"The Blood God already took out the Wheeler Kingdom. Now there are only four factions left. Him, our alliance, the Gloves, and the Elementals. What do you propose to do?" The person on the gold chair said.
He was a middle-aged man in a golden robe with a lavishly decorated sword beside him. The rings he wore screamed out his wealth. Beside him, a lady voiced her opinion. She was sitting on a purple chair.
"The Blood God needs to be gone. He is the greatest threat to us. We should try to get others to agree with us. If either the Gloves or the Elementals join us, our victory is guaranteed," she said.
Opposite her were the two people in red chairs. It was a male-female duo. The female spoke first.
"Then what? Once we defeat the Blood God, the others will turn against us immediately."
"Then we turn against them first. We can do it the minute victory is in sight. No need to wait till we actually kill the Blood God," the person on the gold chair said.
"Bandit King, I think we shouldn't bring outside powers. We can take him on by ourselves. They have less than 15000 soldiers. What can they do against us?" The male on the red chair said.
"Fire King, you are very cautious yet you omit the most important information. The Blood God is not alone. His aide, the Death Bringer, is also an 8th Circle Aura Knight. The only 8th Circle Aura Knights here are the Bandit King and you." The lady beside the Bandit King said.
As they were talking, someone burst into the tent.
"Lords and Ladies! I am profusely apologetic for my intrusion, but your presence is vital. We have an intruder!" The guard said.
They all got up with surprise. Who was brave enough to invade their camp? Alone too. They all made their way outside the tent and immediately sensed a powerful energy.
All of them got out their weapons and became wary. The guard who brought them was shocked that his superiors were so wary of the person. To him, it was just a moderately powerful person.
The group of five made their way to the entrance of the tent where the intruder was standing. To be fast, they flew through the camp. When they got there, they watched the scene unfold in front of them.
"Once again, I command you to name yourself. Otherwise, you will be killed!" The commanding officer at the entrance was shouting. The warriors were all baffled by what was happening.
The person had not complied for the past five minutes so a round of attacks had already gone through. However, the man was completely unharmed after 10000 soldiers had all attacked him. Of course, all the guards were just 1st Circle Aura Knights.
The more powerful ones were stationed deeper in the camp. However, 10000 people was not a joke. The aura produced by those many people would kill a 5th Circle Aura Knight. That made the intruder at least a 6th or even 7th Circle Aura Knight.
At this point, the Bandit King stopped the fiasco.
"Stop attacking!" He shouted. Everyone froze in their positions and turned back. They saw the Bandit King, the leader of their camp in front of them.
"We greet the Bandit King!" They all shouted. Then they noticed the other three as well.
"We greet the Spade Queen! We greet the Fire King! We greet the Fire Queen!" They all shouted.
They all ignored the chants and slowly descended in front of the person. The intruder was Dmitri. He had expected the situation and hadn't acted in aggression to keep his impression clean.
"What is the famed Death Bringer doing at our camp?" The Bandit King asked.
"You are very lucky, Bandit King. I bring you a proposition that will benefit you greatly." Dmitri said.
"And what is this proposition?" The Spade Queen asked with curiosity.
"I am willing to join your forces and help you defeat the Blood God," he said.
"Haha! That is the funniest thing I've heard. What made you think we will believe you? The Death Bringer, the Blood God's most loyal companion, ready to betray him?" The Bandit King scoffed.
Dmitri frowned. "I think it is more apt for us to have this conversation inside," he said.
"Of course. We will escort you to the camp. But you will need to wait for a chair to be brought for you," The Spade Queen said.
The Fire King and Fire Queen both seemed very skeptical about this. However, neither of them voiced their opinion because they were still safe. Even if he acted up, there were two 8th Circle Aura Knights and countless soldiers to defeat him.
And if that happened, it meant he wasn't truly a traitor and that they would be defeating one of the two pillars of the Blood God's army.
The group went back to the tent, with Dmitri in the center of the group. He didn't have a weapon in his hand but that didn't mean he couldn't get one quickly. However, it showed his sincerity.
After a minute of flying, they got to the tent. They descended onto the ground and entered, revealing their setup. The Bandit King waved his hand and the maps on the table immediately disappeared.
However, in the short time that it took to do that Dmitri had already seen those plans. He smiled faintly while waiting for the others to take a seat.
Before sitting down, the Bandit King beckoned the guard to bring a chair. For the next two minutes, the entire room was silent, waiting for the chair to come. Neither of the parties wanted to break the silence.
Dmitri didn't want to talk to them as if he was their subordinate, while the others didn't want to anger him by talking to him while he was standing. They might be in a position of power, but they would still face losses if they ended up in an all-out brawl.
After a while, the chair came. Once the chair was set along the other four, he took a seat. The guard who brought immediately ran out of the tent in fear. The aura that Dmitri was emanating was very intimidating to anyone weaker than him. Even the Spade Queen and the Fire Queen were feeling this intimidation.
"So, we will get straight to the point. We don't believe that you are willing to betray the Blood God unless you give us the reason why," the Bandit King said.
Dmitri smiled. This was the question he thought would blow his cover when the plan was made. However, he was sent with the answer already framed. His smile turned a little more sadistic.
"I want to kill people. That is why I need to betray the Blood God," he said. The minute he said that his calm and composed appearance vanished, revealing the sadistic face of a lunatic.
This made the weaker of the four want to move away from him, but they quickly let go of their fear. The Fire King and the Bandit King both had serious expressions on their faces.
