Unrivaled Soldier in the City

Chapter 636: Demon Banquet Alliance

Lin Kuang, Britney, Chen Anhun, and the others were still searching. They were all eager to find Cain’s Left Hand, and wouldn’t it be better if they found it first? Their hopes were high, but reality was grim; their search had been utterly fruitless. They continued until afternoon, when the setting sun cast long shadows and the forest grew dim.

"Let’s rest," Chen Anhun said calmly, looking at the group. "If the Blood Clan doesn’t show up tonight, we’ll leave two people on watch and continue searching tomorrow. If they do come, then without a doubt, everyone must prepare for battle."

Upon hearing his words, they all nodded and sat down on the ground to rest. Each of them ate their own dry rations, sitting in the forest and waiting quietly.

「In an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the East Sea.」

A dozen or so people stood inside, led by an elder. The old man’s expression was cold, and his eyes held a hint of dark red, making it clear he was no ordinary person.

"The Lesenba, Jimichi, Independent, Giovanni, Leifunuo, Annihilation, and Cappadocia Clans have all arrived. Only the Xitai Clan is absent, but their presence isn’t required here. Alright. As an Elder of the Ashamai Clan, I have brought a Duke with me. I’m sure you all know why we are here. We have come for Cain’s Left Hand, which is said to be on Pegasus Mountain. Legend says that whoever obtains Cain’s Left Hand will become the supreme being of the Blood Clan. Therefore, we are determined to secure it. Furthermore, members of the Secret Alliance have also arrived. They will likely reach Pegasus Mountain today as well. As members of the Demon Banquet Alliance, when you see anyone from the Secret Alliance, you are to kill them without mercy. Do not let a single one escape," Colding, the Elder of the Ashamai Clan, said.

The Blood Clan was divided into two major factions: the Secret Alliance and the Demon Banquet Alliance. Every Holy War was a battle fought between these two sides. Within the Demon Banquet Alliance, the Ashamai Clan was the leader, a position equivalent to the Fanzhuo Clan’s role in the Secret Alliance. The two clans were the dominant powers of their respective factions.

"Understood, esteemed Elder Colding," the members of the various clans replied, their tones filled with reverence. After all, Colding was a Blood Clan Elder, and his formidable strength was undeniable.

"Very good," Colding said. "We’ll wait a little longer and make our move after dark. We are not far from Pegasus Mountain and can reach it quickly."

"Yes, esteemed Elder Colding," the crowd replied once more, then began to rest, awaiting their move after nightfall.

「Meanwhile, on the other side.」

The members of the Secret Alliance had also assembled. The Bruch, Ganggeluo, Mokawei, Nuofeile, and Ruimor Clans had all arrived, with each clan sending a Lord accompanied by a Duke. The only exception was the Tuobingduo Clan, who were clearly not participating in this conflict.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Kulad, the Elder of the Fanzhuo Clan, rose and said, "Welcome, everyone."

As he stood, the others greeted him respectfully, "Esteemed Elder Kulad."

Kulad smiled and waved his hand. "Please, no need for formalities. I trust you all know why we are here. That’s right, Cain’s Left Hand is on Pegasus Mountain, not far from us. We are determined to acquire it, and I expect everyone to give their all in this endeavor. Of course, if we should encounter anyone from the Demon Banquet Alliance, then it’s the old rule: show no mercy!" As he spoke, a faint murderous intent crept into his tone.

"We understand, esteemed Elder Kulad," the group replied in unison.

At that moment, the Lord of the Ganggeluo Clan spoke up, his voice holding barely concealed confusion. "Esteemed Elder Kulad, why haven’t the members of the Tuobingduo Clan arrived?"

Kulad replied calmly, "The Tuobingduo Clan is not participating in this contest. If I’m not mistaken, they do not want us or the Demon Banquet Alliance to obtain Cain’s Left Hand. They hope the Holy War will continue."

"Why? Does the Tuobingduo Clan intend to betray the Secret Alliance?" the Lord of the Bruch Clan demanded, his eyes filled with anger and confusion.

"Perhaps," Kulad said calmly. "In any case, the Tuobingduo Clan is not participating, and their Saintess, Britney, is currently consorting with humans. She has already revealed the location of Cain’s Left Hand to them."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Blood Clan members present shifted. If that’s true, doesn’t it mean the Tuobingduo Clan has betrayed not only the Secret Alliance but the entire Blood Clan?!

"Damn them! They’ve gone too far!" the Lord of the Mokawei Clan snarled, his voice thick with rage. His eyes blazed with endless murderous intent, as if he wished to eradicate the Tuobingduo Clan on the spot. "Death would be too good for them!"

Seeing this, Adolf chuckled to himself, deeply impressed by Kulad’s methods. With just a few words, he had stirred up hatred between these clans and the Tuobingduo Clan. Now that this seed was planted, if the Fanzhuo Clan decided to eliminate the Tuobingduo Clan later, these other clans likely wouldn’t object. At this thought, Adolf’s admiration for Kulad grew even deeper.

"The Tuobingduo Clan is, after all, part of our Secret Alliance. The one who committed this act was their Saintess alone," Kulad said, his eyes glinting with a fierce, murderous light as a hint of red surfaced in his pupils. "For now, I see no need to involve the entire clan. Of course," he continued, "if it turns out the Tuobingduo Clan themselves arranged for their Saintess to do this, then after the Holy War, they must be eradicated. Such traitors cannot be spared!"

"Esteemed Elder Kulad, you are right. If that is the case, our Ganggeluo Clan is willing to take action and help eliminate the Tuobingduo Clan," the Lord of the Ganggeluo Clan spoke up again.

"Our Bruch Clan is also willing to cooperate with you," the Bruch Lord added in agreement.

Instantly, the Lords of the Mokawei, Nuofeile, and Ruimor Clans all voiced their support, as if they wanted to wipe out the Tuobingduo Clan that very moment.

Adolf was secretly ecstatic. With the support of all these clans, the Tuobingduo Clan would surely cease to exist after the Holy War. His spirits soared at the thought.

"Alright, everyone, this matter is not urgent," Kulad announced, noticing the darkness gathering outside. "We can settle everything after the Holy War. For now, it is dark. We should be on our way."
