Chapter 440 Releasing The Half-Fallen Princess
In the mysterious massive moon that orbited around the Planesworld, a country of powerful beings existed. These were the former leaders of the Netherworlds before them being kicked out at the arrival of a certain god who planted a seed in their dark world.
This god defeated the many beings and cast them out as they desired to destroy the plant which would later sprout to become the Planes World.
For years, these people endured numerous hardships and suffered from their eviction. They always gazed upon the Yggdrasil that they wanted to conquer.
These were among the most ancient of beings that were said to have been born from the disunity that spread among the gods and fallen. The hatred and division had given rise to beings that were not created but emerged.
But this massive moon was a massive structure in itself.
It was like the entire orbiting structure became a great fortress that forever lurked and looked over the Planes World.
A massive castle that was as large as an entire continent in the Planes World stood. Many nations were within one castle. The Eldrich and many of the Dark dependent that was outcast or sided with the Eldrich were brought here.
"He's dead?!" A roar exploded out and the power of a Cherubim surged and caused quakings within the many castles that made up this moon.
At a central hall where many Eldrich leaders assigned for the invasion of the Planesworld met. There were other races who sat among the tables and represented the dark-dependent outcast.
A dark man with green eyes and pale skin could not believe the reports made. His son, an Eldrich Noble, and another Eldrich have died in the Planes World!
"He was a Crown... One with a good legacy. To think he would die facing the daughter of Necros. This changes things. We would be in an all-out war against the Netherlands." Another Eldrich spoke. The Eldrich had a very deathly pale appearance and looked like a very unkempt old man.
"The Eldrich cannot enter. But us outcasts lords should do the trick." A vampire appeared. He had a powerful aura that could equal some of the stronger Eldrich nobles.
"That path is pointless. My spies among the lizardman had just reported to me, that guarding the entrance towards the Planes World, is a Celestial Golem! Those rumors have been confirmed! The humans that have guarded it have managed to understand the science to it!" A Dark Serpent with gold eyes arrived and its tall body towered over the rest.
"A Celestial? Then we can't attack it. Unless our lords move, we won't be able to destroy that place!" Another Eldrich argued. The Eldrich was perhaps the youngest among all, but his power was also at Crown level!
"I have heard, that it requires expensive sacrifices. That Golem Celestial is something of a myth among the group. It used to have a mind of its own before the humans arrived. This means we can control it!" The serpent laughed.
"To control a Celestial? Such marvelous dreams... But I'm sure there is a high cost at that." The old eldrich was pessimistic.
"Nevertheless, we must take it!" The serpent argued.
"I agree." The young eldrich nodded.
"A Celestial that can be controlled is something I cannot afford to ignore. And if the rumors are true, we might end up with a Golem army! This can help us in our invasion against the Highlands!"
"We still have the Netherlands to worry about. We do not know how strong Lea is and what she found out after she disappeared. But we must pressure and divide the Netherlands as quickly as possible. We offer them that! The Half-Fallen Princess!" The old Eldrich spoke.
"You mean... we release the seals?" The young Eldrich smiled.
"Yes! We have the power now, don't we? Think of the many victories that Destiny has led us to achieve! We found those portals that could easily allow Eldrich Cardinals to step in and avoid the curse of the land! And while it took great effort to send a Crown, a few Cardinals in the low-leveled regions of the Lowlands If we send in a few more, they could get killed. So we reveal one of the many legacies we plan to acquire. We reveal the location of the Half-Fallen Princess and release her seal! She is the weakest among the four Half-Fallen Royal Family. And from what the records show, she is the child that this family abandoned! The dream for these Dark Dependents and even the Grendelor to become a Fallen will entice them! And we tell them, we have three more! I am sure, at least five serving the Necros Olethros will betray him if we reveal this!" The old Eldrich laughed.
"That could work! And it's not like the Half-Fallen Princess can ever be awakened from that spell. Not even if the kings of the Netherlands and the Highlands were to work together could they open this seal! That's a good plan! It seems we are destined to succeed!"
"We do have a few issues. Another Eldrich has died near the Midlands. The one spying on Listrel and her allies has also been killed. We can assume the worst." The father of the Eldrich noble who died added.
"The Highlands will prepare to fight us. But the good news is, the Netherlands will be their first target! They will believe we are working with them and that will lead to war. This will still help us fulfill the plan. Wars between the two to make our spies find those portals faster! In a way, that sacrifice of losing a Crown Elderich was the price no one wanted to pay! Nonetheless, his death will be our advantage. Desertlord. Your son's death will be an important piece in our victory!" The old Eldrich encouraged.
The Eldrich father had a complicated look but became silent.
"What if... the two are allies? Do we have preparations against that?" Desertlord brought up one possibility.
"Allies?" The vampire laughed.
"Lea and Listrel vanish without warning. And all of a sudden, they became unimportant. Suddenly, the two of them return. What if there is an agreement or a truce between the two?" Desertlord pointed out.
"Impossible." The Dark Serpent shook his head.
"They had fought and killed each other. The two are sworn, enemies. Listrel will always want to kill Lea. It would take a great miracle for the two to be allies. They hold the future of their races on their shoulders and will fight to the death. If they did disappear and fall into a treacherous world and managed to survive, they will have to face the reality of this world and even if they became friends, they will slay each other." The young eldrich answered.
The other Eldrichs in the room also agreed with this assessment. The other dark races who were silent also nodded.
"Airom becomes our focus. With the Undying Lands a fruitful place for us to create an army, we can begin increasing our control there. We could also use the many worlds connecting in the Undying Lands and the Dark Shine will speed their journey to make them reach Airom. And as that happens, we release the seals of the Half-Fallen Princess!"
"I'll handle the Undying Lands. Sindrianth, I'll need help with your lizardman spies." A Vampire who had Crown powers volunteered his assault in Middle.
The large dark serpent nodded in confirmation.
"I'll take care of Airom. The Dark Shine is now fully in my control and many kingdoms have folded to my service." A skeleton Eldrich spoke.
"Who shall infiltrate the Planes World?" The old eldrich asked.
"I can go." A young eldrich raised his hands.
"Oh? Young Eldrich Prince Breveros is interested?" The old man laughed.
"I want to see the outside world. My Lord Brother has this place set. I want to see the lands we will conquer with my own two eyes..."
Meanwhile, back in Middle...
The Lizardman army led by a Cardinal was in full retreat.
The enemy had easily overpowered them and the Golems quickly killed several commanders striking fear in the heart of the Cardinal. If Mezal and the Golems attacked him, even he would die!
The human kingdoms all gathered their leaders and were all thanking Mezal.
Mezal stood and dealt with the politics as he glanced at the far end where a group of people had left inconspicuously.
Kyros and several of the select core members of his army had moved past the Golem City and were headed back to Airom.
"It's been a while since I moved back to the Planesworld..."
