Chapter 146: The Saharos Empire's response
Chapter 146: The Saharos Empire's response
Ezio was the last to leave with Silva. They were discussing the details of the cooperation between their two organizations.
Both the Zoldyck Famliy and Brotherhood share a long list of targets. They need a full cooperation for accidents to not occur.
They spoke for a while. The two men held genuine respect for each other, so it proceeded smoothly.
FinallyEzio was alone.
He activated his Shunpo. The Headquarters of the Brotherhood were not in the Atleasian Empire.
But in the Remanent of the Killing God organization.
The Illusion of the Killing God organization was still maintained, as a front.
For nowReceiving the commissions of everyone was a good way to gather intel on all the other countries.
On the High Profile people in the Continent, too.
For example.
"An All-time High Bounty for any information about the Zoldyck Family, huh"
Ezio laughed:
"Killua certainly didn't go easy on them."
As soon as he returned to the HQ. He was contacted, by a member. Ezio shut his eyes once again.
This was a technique developed for the sake of the Brotherhood.
The Headquarters are used as a sort of pole for all telepathic message of the Brotherhood.
There were at least 30 members of the Brotherhood using a very intricate technique, and giving their energy every day, for the Pole to work.
This way Ezio is in constant contact with all the members of the Brotherhood!
"EzioIt's me again."
Ezio's face turned a tad serious:
"Did you get something?"
The Man standing on top of the Highest Peak of Yasrib spoke, his eyes filled with confusion:
"There was definitely movement after their meetingOnly"
"Their movesIt's unclearNoIt's just out of expectations."
Ezio narrowed his eyes.
"Elaborate. Leyli."
"First of all. The Army of Monica Le'Overallines, was moved."
"The Second Sentence, Santos Riviera. Will be joining them with his squad too."
Ezio had grave eyes.
'Tch! They even moved that old man!'
Santos Riviera is an old monster that lived in the era of the actual Sarahos Emperor's grandfather.
Even if he is the Second Sentence, do not be blinded. He is far stronger than Aeleis.
He was the First Sentence, for an extremely long time and is well respected among all generations.
He has been known as an unreachable talent, for an extremely long time. Even the actual Four Dukes and their predecessors hold tremendous respect for him.
ActuallyHe left the First Sentence position himself, when he saw the talent of Aeleis.
Wanting the new generation of knights to be led by fresh blood.
He is also an extremely important Mentor Figure for the both of the Rosenkrantz sisters.
'And his power doesn't seem to decrease the least with age.'
The last time he fought he was able to hold down the Great Priestress of Klatos. The single strongest entity of the Astaroth Continent.
Granted she didn't fight at full power, but still
Since he retired from the Leadership of the Sentence Knights, he rarely even left the Headquarters.
To kill such a guy, either an assassination operation of the Named ones, or the mobilization of one of the 9 Generals would be necessary. But, would that be easy?
All Generals are entrusted with enormous tasks. The Named ones have extremely packed schedules.
'All our people are busy with other matters.'
'We can't move our cards as easily as the Saharos Empire.'
'We still lack Elite Fighters;
Of course if the Marshalls were moved, that would be another story. But they could only move by Imperia Decree or if the Empire and it's people are in danger.
And wouldn't be shameful?
It's like moving a Dragon to chase after a rat.
'The Mobilization of a Marshall is in itself a sign of defeat.
'Santos Riviera'
'Only Heavens knows how many of such ten thousand years monsters live in the shade of Yasrib.'
How much was the accumulation of a Hundred millennial Old power such as the Saharos EmpireIt's difficult to estimate.
Magicians, Wizards, CyborgsThey may have all that and more!!
They may have even developed cryo technologie, to seal some dying monsters' lifespans!!
'If we are thinking about declaring war, like estimated in 5 years.'
'The 3 Cities need to be built.'
'If we had competent enough magicians, we may not need to guess their intention like that'
A lot was going through the Leader of the Brotherhood's head. In some wayThe Absence of the Emperor is giving an opportunity of growth to all those who relied on the Emperor too much.
The Empire will also detect it's own weakness and shortcoming in a much clearer way.
These constatations were a good example.
"Where are they heading?"
Leyli responded with a trace of suspicion in his voice:
"This the weird thing."
"They sayIt's for joined military exercises, with other countries."
Ezio smirked mockingly:
"Joined Military exercise? Who are they trying to fool?"
"Could you figure out those countries ?"
"We have some cluesBut there is no direct confirmation. Our Brothers are on it."
"But from the general impression, they are heading south east."
"South EastThis is the direction of"
"YesIt's the direction of the Klatos Union."
Ezio's eyes had a deep intensity in them:
"This is.Why now?"
He took a deep breath:
"Is there anything else?"
Leyli continued:
"We just intercepted a crypted message from the Yasrib to Baliana."
Ezio smirked, he was waiting for that name to pop out!!
'BalianaThe Capital of the Lan Empire!'
"The Message is from the responsible of Foreign Affairs."
Leyli smiled scorn in his eyes:
"To Further her knowledge and get better world experience. The First Princess, Raquela Saharan, will be taking function as Ambassador of the Saharan Empire in the Oriental Region."
Ezio smiled handsomely:
"I see"
Layli continued:
"AlsoThere was word of strengthening of the armies in charge of the eradication of the rebellious tribes."
"The rebellious tribesHuh"
They were the inhabitants of the Resistant's states.
The Resistant's states were at the east border of the Saharos Empire. They've been inflicting some serious material damage, to the borders of the Empire.
Well serious is really a relative world here. A behemoth like the Sarahan Empire, who is used to being worshiped; would consider even the sting of a bee, a big 'material' damage.
Which makes it much more frightening, that faced with such an affront by a foreign force, like the Atleasian Empire.
They still managed to keep their calm.
Ezio sighed, a hint of disappointment, in his eyes. The reaction of the Saharos wasn't as disproportionate and as temperamental as he hoped.
NoTheir reaction was calm, tempered, extremely elusive and mysterious.
Ezio took a deep breath:
'This will teach me a lesson. We are not the only shrewd people in this world.'
'To expect them to respond to Killua's provocation was too nave.'
'Anger and Arrogance, are useless in political games.'
'Not that I am qualified to make judgement on that, sigh'
He cut the communication, and made a telepatic call:
"Bayek! Aya!"
"Yes, EzioWhat's going on?"
The Leader of the Brotherhood sighed:
"Are you still in the Empire?"
"Yes"
"Stay on stand byI may need you to go on a mission very soon."
"Okay! We will make preparations."
He sighed before speaking into the air:
"Toni"
A Hooded, somewhat short youth appeared:
"I will need you to send some reports to the Grand Vizir."
Toni nodded before disappearing once again.
Ezio sighed, his fingers on his temple:
'Whatever are their motivesI am not qualified to try to guess'
His smile came back once again:
'But I don't think it's the same for those Vizirs.'
