Bab 21: Prelude to war: Lewis's Plan
"I knew you were going to be very busy, but i never knew it will be this hard to see your face"
"what's your level?" Lewis asked Bordley as he sipped his tea.
"187...are you seriously not going to say anything? You don't miss me?"
Lewis glared at Bordley, "seriously?"
"... I was just kidding" he smiled widely.
"how's the manor, I hope you are taking good care of it, we'll be having visitors soon."
"of course I've been doing that, ever since you moved into the palace it's been lonely but peaceful"
Lewis stood up and headed towards the window, he smiled at the prince he favored as he was being taught swordsmanship by his older brothers, of course Lewis knew revealing his plan would endanger the prince as he was still very young, even the King knew very little of the details.
Nothing has been heard about the war, but Lewis thought was that it will happen any moment from now.
"I'll need to start a long journey, I've put everything and everyone in place regarding the kingdom, even the nobles that didn't like me are now groveling at my feet, it took shorter than I expected to take control of things in the kingdom, because I don't want anyone or anything interfering with my plans."
He faced Bordley, "I'll need you to break through the second body enlightenment that means you have to reach level 200 as soon as possible. I'll leave Mamatoshi... In charge of things around the palace and you Baldy in charge of things around the Manor, I've got the Saintess castle covered too, and the capital... The journey will be quite a long one."
'you take pleasure in calling people wrong names a kid will always be a kid afterall'
"dare to call me a kid again... "
'damn i forgot' ''.... Seriously, can you read the mind, is it a skill... Tell me."
"come out Ross."
Out of Lewis' shadows a slender boy in black ninja outfit that only revealed his eyes came out.
"I'm at your service." He lowered his head,
"this is Ross a new member of our team he shall be protecting me throughout my journey, and you really have to become stronger, he just got his class yet he's catching up to you already, I wish you all can be like Mamatoshi and Penguin."
Ross went into the shadows after the introduction.
"those bastards are too strong, how did they get that strong?" Bordley said,
"hardwork, so put more work into it, they'll soon break into the second body enlightenment too, any moment from now.... With that being the last thing. You can go I should get ready to leave."
"uhn are you leaving today?"
"yes at midnight"
"why midnight?"
"i want to catch something interesting"
Lewis smirked,
'scary evil, someone's about to fall into his trap'
"hurry and leave.'' Lewis said.
''But I want to ask... why are you doing this?''
''doing what?'' Lewis looked at him.
''Helping us get stronger, reforming the kingdom, forming connections here and there...''
''...nothing much, I like being busy with one thing or the other, besides helping you guys is also helping me'' Lewis replied him, 'there... the answer you want to hear''
Bradley bowed his head and left.
Lewis covered his face with one hand as he grinned.
"now now now why isn't Harry contacting me yet"
.... ¬
The number of human Lewis could use would increases drastically once he goes through Body enlightenment, currently he could only handle ten, out of ten slots he had used eight with only three fully maximized. He had to know more about his class, he was sure that this wasn't all there was to the class and the fact that he had a nemesis wasn't appealing to him.
'he might ruin my plans' Lewis was weary of that particular being that would make him break his limit.
A heavy footstep began to draw nearer with metals clanging, Lewis smiled as he moved forward to meet the person outside in the dark.
"that you're here must mean it was a success, but why were you this late."
" i apologize Sir Lewis, but i have to warn you these people are strong. I'm beginning to wonder if Azure can overpower them even with the Earthling forces they have."
"that's expected it's not a fluke they're considered the strongest, did you meet any Earthling soldiers there?"
"they were few but not much, the criteria for becoming a soldier there did not change regardless of earthling or not, and there's almost no discrimination against the earthlings. But the thing is?..." He paused,
"what?" Lewis asked.
"Earthlings are beginning to create guilds that even rival even that of dwellers, there's one particularly we must be weary of, it's called White-Orchid guild, i only fought the deputy for a brief moment but i couldn't assure my victory if we dragged things out any longer."
"what about Mamatoshi, can he?"
"Matayoshi would barely defeat him, and according to him, he claimed his guild master is stronger and aggressive that I was lucky to have met him."
"what about Penguin?"
"penguin would defeat him without stress, but i don't know about their guild master"
"but why did you have encounter with a guild, our focus was the soldiers."
"i don't know but it seems the guilds in Forgan are somewhat in collaboration with the soldiers."
"the Forgan Empire, might not be as dumb as we thought.... But did you successfully plant a spy there"
"yes"
"now for the second part of the plan, can you still shoot that gun of yours"
"of course it was a fierce battle but it was short"
"get in position"
The huge man stepped in front of Lewis, and shouted, "summon Aveilger!!!"
A light flashed on his hand and a long sniper gun appeared on his hand. He stood in position ready to shoot, while standing it was rare to see a person sniping while standing but Harry was different, he had a huge body to support himself and was able to provide extra fire power compared to a modern day sniper he also had sniping skills.
"how many are they?" Lewis asked,
"two but they seem strong"
"so you can't take care of them in one shot?"
"none of them will escape."
-baaannnngggg-
Lewis covered his ears
'i can never get used to the sound of that gun'
-baaaaannnng-
-baaannnnngggg-
"all done..."
"it required three shots"
"the second one was sharp"
"or you are getting weaker?.."
"are you teasing me right now, wait till i complete my advancement quest"
"of course..." Lewis scoffed,
"by the way how did you know the Azure Empire would send their envoy in the night time, not to say they were very strong, i don't think the Knight Commander can handle them." Harry asked.
"you don't worry about that, I paid a huge sum for that information, move the bodies to the mineral cave, make it clean as possible, Russ help him"
Russ came out from the shadows.
"ohh is this the new guy"
Russ bowed his head,
"with this we'll complete the phase one of obtaining complete right to the mineral cave. After dropping the body in the cave, tell the king to begin his part immediately, I now must go, join me when you're done Russ"
Lewis grinned as he walked. 'now let's spark some internal conflict within the Azure empire and its alliance'
