1280 I truly wish to meet him someday
'Nux...'
Evane called out in a worried tone.
It wasn't just her, Nux and all his wives who knew about the situation seemed worried as well.
'They were all killed...'
Nux spoke up.
'They are much more decisive than I thought.'
Amaya commented in a solemn tone as well.
Yes, even the main strategist of their camp had a solemn look on her face. After all, what happened was indeed enough to get such a reaction out of them.
"It is all my fault..."
Felberta spoke, her head lowered, clearly, she was blaming herself.
"It is not your fault." Nux was quick to deny but,
"The plan I came up with was sloppy and because of that, we lost the only spy we have planted inside the enemy ranks!" Felberta retorted.
Yes, Morwen and other Slaves that Nux had enslaved recently and sent to the Black Order were killed.
And from this action, what fate the other three subordinates that they had with them would face if they were ever sent to the enemy ranks was clear.
This meant that Nux now didn't have even a single Slave inside the Black Order.
The Black Order was able to destroy their plan before it could even be initialized correctly.
"Felberta, it is not your fault."
Amaya, who had appeared next to Nux and Felberta spoke with a serious look on her face.
"Yeah? Then who do you think is at fault here?"
"No one." Amaya simply shook her head.
"We came up with a plan and the plan failed. That's it. It wasn't anyone's mistake."
"It was me who came up with that plan. It failed because my plan was not well thought out, if we had followed your plan instead... things would have been different."
"Heh, what made you think that I would let Nux follow your plan if I had a better one?" Amaya tilted her head as she glanced at Felberta.
As someone who knew Felberta's condition, Amaya knew that she couldn't possibly let this woman blame herself for this.
As much as Amaya wanted other women to stay away from her Nux, she had to admit that this bitch, as his first wife, had a special place in Nux's heart, if Felberta started blaming and doubting herself, her health will be affected, which in turn, would hurt Nux and that was definitely not something Amaya could allow to happen.
Also, it wasn't like what she was saying was a lie. It truly wasn't Felberta's fault here. Even she was surprised that the enemy was decisive enough to kill all of them.
"We could only conclude how cautious our enemy is through it, even if we had followed my plan, nothing would have changed.
Maybe, the situation would have been worse than this."
"Really...?" Felberta questioned as she glanced at Amaya.
"Well, not really, I was lying." Amaya was quick to shake her head.
"Don't push your luck, Lady."
"..."
Felberta didn't know what to say.
"I don't understand..."
Suddenly, another voice was heard.
It was Evane.
"How could they do something like this? Did they find out that we enslaved them?" the Ex-Queen questioned.
Nux, who could read the Slaves' memories shook his head,
"They didn't."
"Then how..." Evane wanted to question, however, since he knew what she was about to ask, Nux continued, "They checked their memories after they returned, everything was fine, since they all had the same memories of what happened, no one doubted them. Most of their attention was on the identity of the who attacked them, just like we expected them to be.
But suddenly, another cloaked figure appeared and decided to kill all of them."
"Why would they do it...?" Evane questioned.
"Because their Meeting Point was revealed."
"What...?" Evane couldn't understand.
Amaya, however, didn't take long to understand the thought process behind that decision, "Only those people knew the location of the meeting point." She spoke up.
Nux nodded his head.
"They decided that the Spy must have been one of them and decided to kill all of them."
"It isn't just them then, everyone related to this mission, even the one who came up with it must have been killed instead.
Those people decided to kill 100s just to get 1 Slave."
Amaya spoke with a solemn look on her face.
"...how could they do something cruel to their own people...?"
Evane, of course, couldn't believe what she was hearing.
Amaya on the other hand, wasn't very surprised. Well, she had no reason to be surprised either. After all, they weren't exactly the 'good' side here either.
When has Nux ever considered anyone other than his wives and people related to his wives?
Heck, even when Hundred Thousand Succubi in the Lust State were killed, Nux didn't bat a single eyelid and of course, since Nux wasn't hurt, most women around him weren't either.
All these women, Amaya included, didn't even care what Nux did as long as they got to stay with him.
Heck, they were the people who used an ability like a Slave Seal and forced people to submit to them. If they don't, they even torture them or change their entire personality and create a new one that suits them.
They were the people who turned up the entire Dragon Continent and they did it in a way that once one of the Strongest Continent was now currently in the middle of a crisis, there were threats from both inside and outside and if one wrong step was taken, countless innocent lives will be lost.
And these were all the things they did just a few weeks ago, if they talk about the lifetime, the number of 'bad' things they have done couldn't even be counted.
How could people like them get the right to judge others?
Killing a bunch of subordinates to get rid of the spy was, at best, cute compared to the things they did.
"What are we going to do now?" Felberta questioned.
"Well, for the starters, we will stop blaming ourselves."
Amaya spoke as she looked into Felberta's eyes. Felberta lowered her head.
Amaya then turned towards the rest before looking at Nux and,
"You should go sleep."
Nux nodded.
The two of them didn't seem very worried about the incident either.
After all, even if their potential spies were killed, all they had to do was to plant a few new ones, this time, they just needed to be as discreet as possible and avoid the teams where a Divine Stage Cultivator was present.
Amaya then turned towards Evane and,
"You should prepare for your Trial as well. You don't have much time left.
Go continue your training. You need a much stronger mental stability than this to face the Illusions you will face inside the Elven Trial."
"I understand." Evane nodded as she opened the portal and walked away.
Amaya then glanced at Felberta and,
"You stay here with Nux."
"Are you pitying me?" Felberta narrowed her eyes.
To be honest, she could tell that she was currently being annoying, however, with all the emotions she was currently feeling, her mind was in a mess.
"Woman, I don't care enough about you to pity you.
I gave up my turn because of this and fully intend to take yours in return. So if you don't plan on staying here, you will be wasting your turn.
Of course, you can always go away and let me stay with him instead, just know you won't be getting your turn back if you do."
"Go away."
Fel was quick to send the woman away.
No matter what she had in her mind, there was no way she would let others get her turn. She wasn't at the stage of feeling that generous yet.
In the end, Felberta simply glanced at Nux who had closed his eyes and continued to ruffle his hair, forgetting about her worries in an instant and losing herself and her sense of time as she continued to observe the sleeping Nux.
...
On the other side, inside a dark room, a man walked in and knelt down, "Everything has been dealt with."
"How many was it?" A voice questioned.
Although there was no face visible, the voice clearly belonged to a woman, and a very beautiful woman at that.
"58." The man answered.
"That was less than I thought."
"It wasn't a large-scale mission."
"What about the three who cannot be found."
"They were probably taken away. We already confirmed and it was just like you said, the Self Destruction was merely a fa?§ade, we didn't see any signs of a cultivator Self Destructing there. It must have been some sort of trick the enemy came up with in order to divert our attention."
The man reported.
"Continue to search for them, issue a kill-on-sight order."
"I understand."
"You can leave."
The order was passed and without waiting for even a second longer, the man walked out.
Once he did, another, different voice was heard.
"Our Meeting spot was revealed, how interesting is that? Is the Ancestral Order finally taking us seriously?"
"I doubt that.
I have a strange feeling that it wasn't done by them."
"Are you saying someone else is capable of doing something like that?"
"There is."
"You aren't talking about..."
"That child is quite resourceful, you know?
I truly wish to meet him someday."
The woman chuckled.
