Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1613: Chapter 862: Black Spider! (2)

The giants all looked at him, somewhat displeased: Do you think we are fools? Even though we can’t devise such plans, you can’t say that!

But the problem is, an ordinary person truly cannot force the Drama Master into the second stage of the combat system.

At this moment, the Giant Prophet had already furrowed his brows.

The King of Giants spoke too quickly, revealing too much information to the Duke of Storm City; originally, they should not have let him associate it with the prophecy.

Once he makes the connection, he knows that the ’friend in the great prophecy’ is Qing Chen from the Eastern Continent.

Should we kill the Duke of Storm City? This would indeed be a good way to protect Qing Chen.

Unfortunately, the Giant Prophet’s predictions are too random; he hasn’t reached the level that the first generation of prophets possessed, and cannot see the future clearly.

This prophet is still very immature; he needs time to grow.

If, in unclear circumstances, a demigod ally is killed so rashly, it would be too reckless.

Therefore, before confirming the Duke of Storm City’s loyalty, the Giant Prophet also doesn’t wish to kill him but still wants to protect the friend in the prophecy.

The Prophet said calmly: "That friend is already on the way to the Royal Court; if you stay a bit longer, you can communicate with him personally."

The Duke of Storm City shook his head: "No, my stay here cannot exceed 24 hours; I won’t have the chance to meet him."

He continued sincerely: "Since he is the friend in the prophecy, I understand his importance to the Giant Race, so I won’t probe further. However, I hope next time he can distinguish between friend and foe when acting, and not disrupt my plan. In my plan, once we take Base No.9, I can immediately open the throat to Central Royal City for the Giant Race. Then, with us driving the fierce beasts of Taboo Forest straight in, even if the Drama Master can foresee it, he won’t have time to mobilize all the forces to defend."

The Duke of Storm City continued: "The Storm City Corp Army switching sides, coupled with our Giant Race’s strength, will change the entire continent’s power structure. But now it’s different; the Royal Family is already suspicious of me, and the previous plan can’t proceed; even I would be in danger."

The Prophet asked: "So, what do you need us to do?"

The Duke of Storm City drew a map in the dirt with a branch: "You’ve already opened a breach in Base No.6; the Royal Family is now guarding against my return to Base No.9, but I decided to abandon it and join you in tearing open a path from Base No.6. Attacking Central Royal City is no longer possible, but there’s still much we can do. We can traverse the mountains, raid Base No.5, and once we destroy them, Central Royal City will be in dire straits."

The main forces of the Black Water City and Phoenix City corps are gathered at Base No.5.

The old King of Giants asked in a deep voice: "Do you plan to change allegiance and stand entirely with the Giant Race?"

"Yes," said the Duke of Storm City, "I am a son of the forest; previously I endured humiliation, and now I naturally return to the embrace of the forest. Kuroharara is my home; I want to go home."

The Prophet pondered briefly: "What about Silver City?"

The Duke of Storm City said: "The Black Knight Corps of Silver City has always been disinclined to participate in wars; they don’t necessarily follow all commands from the Royal Family. They are indifferent to who becomes King; once Black Water City and Phoenix City are defeated, they will choose to remain detached."

The Prophet closed his eyes and opened them half an hour later: "I agree."

The Duke of Storm City stood and pulled out a piece of paper: "Then I shall leave now; the paper contains specific battle plans and timings. Next comes the era of our Giant Race overthrowing the rule of Roosevelt Kingdom."

The Prophet said nothing.

The King of Giants asked: "The people you brought with you?"

The Duke of Storm City said: "Their loyalty is not to me; once we decide to go to war with the Roosevelt Kingdom, such unreliable people cannot be kept around. Please have them all killed."

All Arbiters, along with Black Spider and all giants, looked in shock at the towering Duke of Storm City.

This was more than twenty core figures of the Arbiter Organization, a third of the total number of core figures, and yet he said kill them just like that!

One elder shouted: "Duke of Storm City, why treat me like this!"

The Duke of Storm City sneered: "Did you think I didn’t know you were the King’s man? Watching over me for 23 years, did you really think you hid well?"

The elder froze for a moment, then roared angrily: "Duke of Storm City, you will not have a good end for betraying the Kingdom!"

The giant stomped on the elder, who struggled but could not move, only able to curse.

Black Spider asked dazedly: "Why kill me?"

"Just a mere toy, did you think I didn’t know you already had the intent to kill me?" The Duke of Storm City sneered: "For three years, you repeatedly contacted the rebels behind my back. Unfortunately, the rebels are nothing but useless mud. But contacting the rebels would have been forgivable, yet you also secretly contacted the Royal Family."

The Duke of Storm City didn’t look back, turning to the giant beside him: "Take me away."

As he walked farther away, the giants snapped the necks of the Arbiters one by one, with the ease of killing chickens; brutally savage.

It must be said, the Duke of Storm City was indeed ruthless, and indeed clever; among this batch of Arbiters, three were A-Class, and the rest were all B-Class.
