Chapter 2390 Divergence

Kanglia smiled in response. "I thought you would never ask. Our job is to attack the Lodigan Fortress and rescue a certain someone."

Everyone there was taken aback. Even those who arrived earlier than Rean's Group were unaware of this. "Lodigan Fortress? But... where is it?"

They all checked the map of this region on their communication badges. Be it the mountain range of the farm further northeast, none of them had this Lodigan Fortress as part of the site. In fact, they couldn't find this Fortress anywhere in the Krohasan Region at all.

"It is no surprise you can't find it because it is not in Krohasan. Instead, it is in the opposite direction, further northwest instead," Kanglai explained. "If you expand your map in the communication badges, you should be able to see a Region called Xowert. Lodigan Fortress is at the southeast border of this region."

"Xowert?" Rean quickly checked the information, and sure enough, he found the Fortress there. It's just that it had barely any information whatsoever. If anything, it looked more like it was one of the many disregarded locations in this war. "Wait, but this Xowert Region is truly very deep into the Devils' Territory. Our army is nowhere near getting close to that place yet."

Santiso, one of the Elemental Space Realm cultivators there, agreed with Rean. "Goku is right. There is another army positioned not too far in the Juedibos Region, too. Reaching this Fortress would be quite complicated since the Devils will definitely keep a look out in the surroundings. This Lodigan Fortress just so happens to be within this army's range."

Amaxer, another Elemental Space Realm expert and a Demon Beast, noticed it too. "Although a little risky, it shouldn't be that hard to reach the Fortress without anyone noticing. The real problem lies after we start the attack to rescue whoever it is. Because the other devil army is nearby, it shouldn't take more than a few minutes for them to get reinforcements. What if an Elder Devil appears?"

"I see..." Rean understood the situation. "That's why our target was placed in this Fortress. One, it was to make it look like there was nothing important there. And two, it was close to the army, which could provide help at any time. It seems like we have a quite high-profile figure in that place, no?"

Kanglai confirmed everyone's words. "You are all correct. However, our advantage lies in this attack on the northeast soul farming. Senior Hrumes will ally with another Divinity Realm expert, who should arrive during the attack. When both of them join forces, the Elder Devil in charge of the army of the mountain will have no other choice. He will have to ask for reinforcements to prevent our army from reaching the farm."

"The closest helper, even though it is a little far away, is near the Xowert Region. As you can probably imagine, it is the Elder Devil in charge of the army there. He would have to immediately leave and come to help the Elder Devil here. Not only him, but even his Space-Time Realm Devils would have to accompany him. That gives us the chance we want."

Rean narrowed his eyes. "It makes it look like even though the destruction of the soul farm is important, the whole reason for this attack is to attack that Fortress you mentioned. Is that the real objective of this endeavor?"

Kanglia shook her head. "That I don't know. What I know is that the higher-ups see both the destruction of the farm and the rescue of the target as highly important. However, I, too, think that the main objective is the rescuing plan."

Kentucky couldn't hold back anymore after hearing all of that. "Oh, for fuck's sake! Can you just tell us who the hell we are risking our lives to save? You don't expect us to simply know whoever it is by default, do you?"

"Actually, I do," Kanglia smiled. "Simply put, there are only Devils in that Fortress. That's why even I am not told who is there, seemingly to prevent any information from leaking. Nonetheless, our target will basically be whoever isn't a Devil in that place. Shouldn't be hard to find."

"What if there is more than just one target?" Rean asked back. There was no guarantee they would encounter just one individual who wasn't a Devil there. Perhaps there are thousands of them.

Kanglia shrugged her shoulders. "In that case, just take everyone with you. Send them all into your Pocket Dimensional Realms and then leave."

Everyone looked at each other, finding this operation somewhat too strange.

However, every single one of them gave up any complaints after Kanglia's next words. "What I can guarantee is that our target is definitely worth the risk. As a reward for this rescue plan, the army will be paying everyone 2000 Merit Points."

"What?!" Everyone's eyes lit up! "You are not lying, right? You mean it, right?!"

Kanglia nodded. "Yes, I absolutely mean it. I already got confirmation from senior Hrumes himself. "

Rean was just as impressed as the others. Hrumes told him that he would have got a similar prize after helping Gardo since he contributed to the death of an Elder Devil. Yet, this rescuing target is worth just as much. How could he not be excited? Especially since it would be 2000 points for him and 2000 points for Kentucky. That would be 4000 points since it will all be used to buy the Serene Gold Filaments.

Kanglia also warned everyone. "Do not have weird ideas about being the one who rescued the target first. Regardless of who brings the target back, the reward will be the same for everyone: 2000 points. That is to prevent any idiot from attacking their own allies, thinking they can get a bigger reward."

Everyone was satisfied with that. Such a decision prevented any discord within the group.

Seeing that everyone was ready, Kanglia finally opened a Spatial Gate. "Alright, let's go."
