Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2758

Chapter 2758 Careful Planning (Part 2)

"These bastards still have a mole in high places, but not high enough." Brinja's sky-blue eyes burned with red mana as she took pictures of the map used by the undead and cross-referenced it with the clearance level necessary to access it.

Unfortunately for her, the Distars' magical talent seemed to have skipped a generation, leaving Brinja with no power of her own. Even after learning about the real role that Mirim had played within the Kingdom, Brinja had to content herself with becoming Lord Commander of the Corps.

Tyris had offered her to become one of her fake Awakened with the prospect of taking Mirim's position in due time, but Brinja had turned her down.

"My mother was a talented mage who spent her life honing her abilities. I'm too old for that and by the time I catch up with the rest of the Corpse, I would still lack combat experience." Brinja had replied.

"I'd rather entrust this honor to someone who deserves it and who won't be a burden to their companion. Besides, I'm the last member of the Distar household and I won't let my bloodline disappear with me."

Tyris and Sylpha had been forced to explain the truth to Brinja after she had risen to the rank of Lord Commander. The Corps and the Corpse needed to coordinate their actions and be aware of each other's plans.

Otherwise they would often waste time and manpower by protecting the same mark or their missions could overlap which would lead to friendly fire. While Mirim was alive, she commanded both units so such things had never been a problem.

Now, however, the Queen had to entrust Brinja with the existence of all black ops units and hope that her pride wouldn't get in the way of preserving her mother's legacy.

"That's not all." Lith shook his head while showing the interrogations one by one. "They also knew about all of my life forces and had come prepared for all of them. They had access to anti-Dragon and anti-Abomination spells.

"That part isn't public knowledge."

"That doesn't mean much." Farg shrugged. "Undead are old. They only need to trade for those spells with a Household desperate enough to ask for their help once to know how the Kingdom deals with such threats.

"As for your Abomination side, the story of the ghost girl and your chains has spread like wildfire despite our best efforts to cover it up. Also, don't forget that Meln ruled the Courts for a while. Whatever he knew about you, they also probably know."

"Point taken." Lith nodded.

"Why did you call us here?" Brinja asked after reviewing the footage once more and saving a copy for herself. "There's no impending threat and I doubt the undead will strike twice during the same night."

"Because I need your help." Lith replied. "The undead are right about many things. I was planning to hunt them down as soon as my body got accustomed to my new powers and Elysia got a bit older.

"I really wanted to enjoy this time with her and avoid fighting as much as I could. Now that the enemy has entered my home, I can't delay it any longer." Lith sighed. "I'm going to reforge my equipment anew and start the preparations to raid the Undead Courts."
