The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 656

Chapter 656 Niall's Cleaning Routine

While Karl was busy on the Northern defence lines, Niall was busy within the city.

He had to find as many of the spies as possible before the Giants reached the walls. That would be the natural time for them to start causing chaos, giving false orders and starting trouble within the supply lines.

With the incident on the trucks, he had discovered the trick to detecting them. He couldn't normally see through their disguises, which appeared to be created by a Totem Rank disguise item. But once he had gotten his hands on one of them, he could clearly see the disguised form of the others.

With [Shadow Meld] active, he raced through the streets, invisible to the population that he was protecting. Then, a most horrifying sight caught his attention. Three Generals were planning the deployment of the western lines, and all three of them were disguised Titan infiltrators.

They had been deploying the troops this entire time. The Archbishop was going to be devastated to know that so many of their trusted leaders were actually spies.

The Inquisitor was about to attack when a subtle difference caught his attention. One of them was not a disguised Titan at all. The spell wasn't as good, and the power he could sense through it was that of a beast.

So, quite possibly a disguised spy, but possibly not today's enemy.

Niall made a mental note of the Divine Beast Nation spy, and then launched two [Ambush] enhanced throwing knives into the base of the skulls of the other two.

For an instant, he let the surviving General see him as he collected the bodies so that he wouldn't raise an alarm. But the dead Titans were already transforming back to their natural shape, and that should be enough for him to understand.

With a quick activation of [Advanced Shadow Step] the bodies were deposited in the Inquisition building, and Niall was back to continue his work.

With the positions of the defenders on the western lines mostly ordered by the enemy, there was too much to do.

"General, I want a full redeployment of the western lines. The enemy knows the location of our assets. Scramble your reserves and cycle some strategic assets out. It needs to be done before the next push." He explained as he returned to the site of the ambush.

Then he was off hunting again. It was a shame that he didn't have Sister Rae with him. She would love this game.

Deep within the Cathedral, seated around a table in the war room, the Archbishop and his advisors looked at the Scryers' projections of the duels happening all over the battlefield. The North was holding well, but the same could not be said of the champions on the west, and the lines there were being forced to retreat after two Overlords were lost, and their bodies claimed by the Giants.

"Your Holiness, the visions are changing. Someone has altered the odds on the western front in our favour. I can't see what is happening, but when I look at the Command Group, two of the three Generals have changed." One of the seers explained.

"Understood. That should be the work of the Inquisition.

Have we found what they're looking for yet? It can't be the Temple. The Mountain Giant Great Sage already knew about the change. So, whoever took over from him after his death should know as well." The Archbishop asked his advisors.

Ahmad was still recovering, but he should be ready soon, and then he could head to the western wall and relay orders and Intelligence from the Cathedral. _{freewebnovel.cσ๓}
