Should he dare to mislead her, he would find no refuge once her castle relocated.

Nia Xin was unperturbed by the notion of ambushes, confident in her own prowess.

Presently, the most influential figures in the alliance were Nia Xin and Calvin.

Although Calvin had never encountered Nya Exyn, he consistently sensed the intangible pressure she exuded.

Although Nyxen had established a partnership with Blonder, she felt the necessity to consult with Calvin, for the majority of the lords were in his contact.

Nia Exen harbored a premonition that she would soon uncover the whereabouts of the undead lord.

The sacred wings behind her gently unfurled as she soared down the mountain, intending to confer with her allies regarding this matter.

at the mountains base for castles encircled the stone pillar mountain giving the impression that the other four lords were merely Nexian subordinates.

However, that was far from the truth.

Each of the four was a formidable lord in their own right, standing on equal footing with Nyaken.

They had collectively relocated to this relatively safe region of Hapne province as only one castle could be accommodated at top the peak, thus necessitating the dispersion of their abodess around the surrounding area.

Chapter 193.

Intelligence from the undercover agent as nightfall descended by you, having satisfied her hunger, sat at top the castle, gazing at the stars, though she could scarcely see them.

It was a rare moment of tranquility, allowing her to drift into contemplation without the burden of thought.

Bayou instructed Jao Liua to command the dwarves to cultivate a vegetable garden in the Bayan Mountains, ensuring they would not be limited to roasted meat alone.

She justified this initiative as a means of providing balanced nutrition for the dwarfs.

After spending several days together, Ziao Inshua had come to understand that Bayou could forego meals, thus believing wholeheartedly in her rationale.

Naturally, Xiaoa was quite pleased as it meant she too could enjoy vegetables.

Just as Bayu was preparing to leave from the castle to retire for the night, a private message arrived.

It was from son Shia Sha.

Big sister Bay, my cousin has successfully infiltrated the ranks of the Lord Alliance and acquired vital intelligence.

Bayou was taken aback.

She had not expected son Shia Sha to be concerned about her affairs while reuniting with family.

Has her cousin been promoted to the second tier? No, he deceived them.

With 10,000 in the second tier, it's impossible to verify each one.

But let us get to the point, son Shia replied.

There are 31 first tier lords and over 50 second tier lords with a leader named Calvin Chwampiel.

Their total military strength exceeds 100,000 with over a thousand commanding officers.

Bayou was astonished.

This meant nearly a 100 lords and a formidable army, while her own castle housed a mere 50,000 undead.

Logically, such a force should not mobilize against a singular royal level combatant.

Clearly, they were serious about their intentions.

Bayou felt this situation was beyond her expectations.

With such a vast military, she estimated at least 1,500 commanding officers, which meant an average of 300 against each royal level fighter.

It was evident that her royal level character at level one would stand no chance against such odds.

Ah, so this is how it is by you thought, anger flaring within her.

She bore no enmity towards them.

All she desired was to develop in peace and earn some system rewards.

Yet they conspired against her.

By you believed she had not committed any heinous acts, though she did not consider herself a paragon of virtue in this world.

Absolute goodness was a rarity long extinguished.

While Bayou understood that son Shia Sha's cousin had taken this risk for her sake, she felt gratitude nonetheless.

Please extend my thanks to your cousin.

I owe him a favor now.

Rest assured, he need not worry about my demise.

I have no desire to perish either.

Big sister by with so many of them.

Are you truly untroubled? Son Sha Sha inquired, her concern palpable.

Foolish.

Have you forgotten that the Alliance can relocate their city? When the time comes, I can simply move away.

Will they be able to find me? Do not fret.

I have already secured allies, but for now, forming an alliance would draw their suspicion.

Son Sha Sha, Sister B, I have faith in you.

If all else fails, you can ally with my cousin and relocate here.

Though we're impoverished, it's quite safe here.

Perhaps only son Xiao Xiao<unk>s family would go to such lengths for her sake.

Any other lord would likely face unbearable pressure.

Bayou, all right, rest early.

Bayou had no intention of burdening them.

That was a last resort reserved only for dire necessity.

Moreover, those words were merely spoken to reassure son Xiao.

From the very beginning, Bayou never considered fleeing.

Escape would only embolden their arrogance, leading to endless harassment in the world.

chat like relentless flies.

That was not the outcome IU desired.

Only by striking these lords with overwhelming force would they truly comprehend that in this world absolute strength reigns supreme.

There is no justice or evil.

Only the might of one's fist determines what is right.

The weak are forever defined by the strong.

Bayou couldn't shake the feeling that her true strength had been exposed.

Otherwise, why would they go to such lengths? After all, Bayou and the four members of the Elemental Alliance had once repelled Miles together.

Just five commanders against a single Monarch tier.

If 300 commanders were gathered, even the weakest among them could not possibly lose against a level one monarch tier.

Bayou had assumed they would rally a dozen or so lords at most.

Yet nearly a hundred had gathered.

If they treat me as a boss to defeat, then don't blame me for farming them like mobs.

leaping down from the castle.

Bayou recalled the first tier lord who had once sought an alliance with her.

There was also another lord named Lights fall whom you remembered clearly.

These two like Bayou were the only unalied lords among the first tier.

Upon reflection, Bayou realized as first tier lords they could not be weak.

Their refusal to ally suggested only one possibility.

Like Bayou, they believed their strength alone sufficed.

This meant both possessed formidable power and were willing to aid Bayou, which was excellent news.

After assessing the enemy's intelligence, Bayou understood that victory through her own strength alone was unlikely.

The only solution was to seek their assistance without knowing the exact strength of their alliance.

Bayou could only estimate based on surface data.

She judged the odds at 4 to 6, herself at 4:00.

Glancing at the time, just past 9 in the evening, Bayou guess the lord might still be awake and promptly sent a message.

Meanwhile, within the elemental alliance, Lia and Fong Xiao<unk>'s troops had returned, reporting that the Gata Empire had encamped near Yiang<unk>s castle.

The snow maidens and wind spirits had only spotted Miles with no signs of other monarchier individuals.

Moreover, as night fell, all human soldiers had withdrawn, ceasing their southern reconnaissance.

Perhaps they never expected the elemental alliance to be hiding even deeper within the desolate plains.

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

Initially, there were no expectations for Fong Sha to contact the Lord's Alliance for relocation.

However, it came as a surprise that Fong Sha had an acquaintance unknown to all.

Fong Sha assured everyone that this friend could be completely trusted.

This seemed to be a contingency plan devised by Fong Shao.

The seemingly impulsive youth understood well that one should not place all eggs in a single basket.

He and his friend thus refrained from joining the same alliance.
