Undying Warlord

415 Plan



“Wow, have you really gained control of the Scorpio Temple and all their residents?” Sven asked as he entered the town of the Scorpion-people with interest gleaming in his eyes.

He looked around in curiosity and quickly realized that all the Scorpionmen were looking at him with contempt and scorn.

‘Well, that doesn’t really look like ‘control’, but more like ‘conquest’, or ‘domination’…’ Sven thought after a while and his gaze turned to Dilan, who shrugged his shoulders.

“I just told them that I will eradicate them if they don’t listen to me,” Dilan said, unsure if that was enough to consider having something under his control, and it didn’t really matter to him either way.

He wanted to use the Scorpionmen for his personal gains and benefits, nothing else.

“By the way, you can discard the bodies of monsters at the Poison Divinity Fragment to get some points, just like we did in the Sun Temple! The points are called Poison Points and you can even convert them to dungeon points, amazing isn’t it?” Dilan felt quite satisfied with himself and everything that happened around him.

The situation was quite simple. Dilan forced the Leader of the Scorpionmen to follow his orders, and he had no other choice but to grudgingly accept it. That was how Dilan and his people got permission to use the Shop of Scorpio, a shop that was heavily focused on things related to poison, whether it were ability crystals, ability books, Weapons, and much more.

There were even useful potions that would burn through flesh and not metal, which made it perfect to coat weapons with it!

“It is amazing…but are you sure that we will be safe? The situation with the Sun Temple turned out to be rather bloody and frustrating, didn’t it?” Sven asked in uncertainty.

He was not sure if Dilan ever thought about the past incidents, which was why Sven had to speak about it.

“For now, I wouldn’t consider anything ‘safe’. I might be able to kill everyone if they stir trouble but when I’m not here something might still happen. Furthermore, the Werewolves are probably angry at the Scorpiomen, which means that they’ll be fighting.

We won’t intervene in their fights but innocent people can always be dragged into trouble,” Dilan explained and Sven nodded his head in understanding.

Dilan didn’t seem to be too worried about the Temple of Scorpio or anything related to it, yet, his expression didn’t seem good. This bothered Sven more than anything because it had never been a good sign when Dilan was in a bad mood.

“What are you troubled about?” He thus asked even though he didn’t really want to know the reason behind Dilan’s predicament. Sven knew that he would have to listen to something unpleasant, which was not what he wanted to hear right now.

But even if he didn’t want to, Sven understood that it was necessary to listen to all the troublesome things that were going to happen. It was better to know about them in advance and prepare himself instead of being oblivious to everything, after all!

“The Hordes of Chaos and Destruction are a bit troublesome, and I don’t really think that the Undying group is strong enough to stop them. To be precise, I’m pretty sure that everyone in the Undying group will be bulldozed the moment the Hordes of Chaos and Destruction were to reach the Sanctum or Shiron,” Dilan revealed with frustration evident on his face.

He had planned to do something about the Hordes of Chaos and Destruction by himself but that was easier said than done, even for him.

“Are the Hordes of Chaos and Destruction that strong? Where are they and…are they heading in our direction?” Sven gulped and broke out in cold sweat that trickled down his back.

He really didn’t like what was going on but he could tell that Dilan was still sorting his thoughts. Thus, there was a still a ray of hope in Sven’s mind.

“They’re up north, at the Javelin Cliffs. Their base is located there according to the Spies of the Scorpionmen. As for their numbers…there are a lot…millions…but they’re not really powerful…if we compare them to my current strength…when I go all out,” Dilan revealed, after taking short pauses in his sentence over and over again.

He had contemplated whether he should reveal the truth, or if he should tweak it a little bit to make Sven feel less troubled. However, tweaking the truth would be pretty dumb, which was why Dilan had discarded this thought pretty quickly.

“What exactly does that mean? If there are millions of monsters, or whatever existences they might be, we have to know their strength, otherwise, I cannot come up with a plan to defend against them once they reach the Shikan plains!” Sven inquired while pointing at Dilan.

Dilan smiled when he saw the future plans of their strategist.

“Their average strength is at the Peak of Tier-2, all members of the Hordes of Chaos and Destruction seem to have some connection to Chaos and Destruction, which allows them to be stronger than ordinary monsters at the same rank, and the Scorpionmen have yet to get more intel about the direction they’re heading to.” Dilan continued to reveal information and Sven swallowed once again.

“On average, our group’s strength is not even at Tier-2, but their average is at the Peak of Tier-2 already…” Sven mumbled before he added once again, “Only you are stronger…and what does ‘for now’ even mean?! Why are you making me pull the answers out of your brain?? Just tell us everything!”

Sven was nervous and worried, which was difficult not to notice. Dilan understood where Sven was coming from and he even patted his strategist’s shoulder in pity.

“According to what I’ve heard from multiple sources, the Hordes of Chaos and Destruction are said to gain a higher entrance permission to newly awakened planets than others. That means they had a much easier time bringing stronger monsters to Milarn provided they accumulated enough sacrifices.

Any kind of corpses are ok for the sacrifice, and as long as they have enough of them, it won’t even be problematic to bring high numbers of Tier-3 monsters or even Tier-4 monsters to Milarn!” Dilan declared and a tense silence followed suit.

“That…is horrible…” Sven mumbled quietly, his face aghast. He looked towards the ground, just to see that his legs had begun to tremble. His gaze was locked on his legs for almost an entire minute until Sven’s gaze traveled to Dilan’s legs which were unmoving.

Upon looking up, Sven saw that Dilan could still smile and that he looked rather calm if one ignored the fact that his smile was definitely faked.

“How can you be so calm?” He couldn’t help but ask.

He had heard that Dilan could fight Tier-3 monsters without facing too many difficulties. That was pretty good but masses of Tier-4 monsters were on a whole different level, literally!

“I can already fight Tier-4 monsters, as long as I nearly kill myself….sooo that’s fine. But I have to get stronger, as quickly as possible!” Dilan pointed out the obvious and Sven nodded his head.

“All of us need to get stronger if we want to get ready to fight the Hordes of Chaos and Destruction…but how are we going to do that if we’re playing against time itself? They get stronger the more time passes by killing monsters and collecting sacrifices to summon stronger allies…” Sven felt like the world was breaking apart but Dilan waved off his hand as he said,

“That’s why I will advance to Tier-3 within the next 30 days!”
