Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2100

Chapter 2100 Plans Coming Together (Part 2)

"This means that someone has attacked at least one of the main nodes. To understand the nature of the Queen's working and find the keystones, the enemy must have infiltrated the city and studied the arrays for days."

Xoola said mostly to herself since the others had no concept of time or strategy.

"No one would have invested so much time just to run away after a few minutes. The enemy must still be inside." Xoola had no idea that the Eyes of Menadion existed, nor that they could unravel the complex array system from a distance and in a few hours at that.

"Our security must have been compromised. Investigate everyone with Invigoration and don't trust the scanners. The enemy must have found a way around them or we wouldn't be in this mess."

The Forgotten nodded and bolted away, flying at high speed to comb search the city hall in minutes.

'What do I do?' Xoola racked her brain in doubt. 'If the enemy really is here and I go to the Warp Gate, the arrays will go down and the enemy will swarm the city. Yet if I'm wrong and I remain here chasing ghosts, the Gate will fall and the result will be the same.'

To make her conundrum even worse, she kept receiving reports from the city walls where the siege was quickly taking a turn for the worse. The Spirit Array that the Council had devised formed a barrier around the members of Phloria's army and healed their wounds.

'Damn the Royals! A three-pronged attack!' The Fenrir cursed her bad luck and called Linnea.

"I need at least two more Divine Beasts or the city of Zehnma will fall."

"We don't have them." The Headmistress pinched her nose in frustration.

Those that Gentor had killed had yet to regenerate, ten had to be stationed in Belius at all times to keep the Magic Empress from taking over the city, and the rest had been deployed just a few minutes earlier.

Raagu's plan had forced Thrud to spread her forces thin and taking away a single Divine Beast meant to lose a city.

"What about the Queen? The King Consort? Protheus? Heck, I'd settle even for that Meln fucker!" Xoola said in outrage.

"Her Majesty is personally defending the capitol of Nestrar. The damn King refuses to leave the baby's side and Protheus is still getting accustomed to his new powers. As for Meln, not only revealing that the Dead King is still alive would greatly backfire, but we have no way to control him." Linnea replied.

"Then Zehnma is lost. I can't do everything by myself." The Fenrir shook her head.

"Hystar, is there anything you can do?" Linnea asked.

"Yes." The true Headmaster of the Golden Griffon pushed her through an emergency Spirit Gate after locking on the coordinates of Xoola's amulet. "Time to prove your worth on the field, dear colleague.

"Fight to your heart content knowing you can't die. Glory to Arthan."

Like the Golden Griffon was a perversion of the six great academies, its motto was a perversion of Valeron's battle cry. _{frёewebηovel.cѳm}

The First King had valued his people above all whereas even in death the Mad King only cared about himself.
