The dim surroundings, the damp environment, and the lack of light helped conceal the red threads lurking in the dark.
Around 8 guards rushed to the tower, but they hadn't even reached the door when something flickered in the dark.
The Godfather licked his lips as he sat on the nearby tree.
"Gotcha."
The moment the guards touched the thread, the thread tightened and moved on its own.
SLASH!
The metal thread slashed the guards' necks, knees, arms…
The complicated set-up trapped the eight guards completely, and with just a single tug from the Godfather controlling the blood threads…
Their heads fell to the ground.
Thud. Thud. Thud.
The heads rolled on the ground while dismembered arms and legs started to fall from the air.
Blood splashed everywhere, dying the ground red. The smell of blood instantly attracted many monsters and beasts, yet it also alarmed the nearby guards.
"What is this intense smell of blood?"
"It comes from the tower!"
"Hurry, hurry, go– "
Right at that moment, the Godfather retracted all his blood threads smoothly and spoke to his people through the airpods.
"Attack now."
DONGGG
The 100 troops instantly broke through the bushes and shouted.
"KILL!"
"ATTACK!"
"CHARGEEEE!!"
Becca and Elliana were the commanders, riding their monster and beast at the front line. Following behind them were many battle squads.
The sudden troop's appearance startled the remaining guards that were heading to the tower.
They hadn't even seen their friends' dismembered corpses when people riding monsters and beasts came out of nowhere.
They...they are under attack!
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
"Sound the alarm! Enter the tower!"
Some of the guards tried to enter the tower, but when they saw the corpses and pool of blood in front of the tower door, they almost collapsed.
"Bleerrrgggh!"
"What– what the heck– Rana! Mer! How– how did this happen?"
"Arghh!! Help me! Enemy attack!"
"Someone, contact the five leaders! Quick!"
The guards gritted their teeth as they faced the Sloan Family attack. Some of them ignored their friends' corpses on the ground and ran to the tower.
They rushed to the highest floor yet...
The moment they opened the door to the highest floor's room, all they saw was a pool of blood and five corpses. Strangely, the weapon used to murder these people were nowhere to be seen!
The guards instantly freaked out.
"The leaders are dead! Damn it! The enemy this time is so cunning!"
"Do you know who they are? From which family?"
"I don't know, but their badge seems to be from the rising star Sloan Family."
The guards ran around the five corpses as it was a daily occurrence to them. Still, they couldn't help but avoid the gruesome sight as they went to sound the alarm.
"Anyway, we have to sound the alarm. Our buddies down there won't survive for much longer."
"Yeah. After this, immediately run away using the emergency exit!"
It turned out that these guards were backup guards in charge of sounding the alarm in case something happened to the five leaders.
"Let's go call our reinforcement!"
The guards clearly thought that even though the enemy caught them off guard, they could still call for reinforcement.
Little did they know that tiny blood chibis were sneaking up around the room.
[Hmmm, they're going to call their reinforcement.]
The Godfather relied on the blood chibis' shared hearings to eavesdrop on the guards' conversations while still hiding at a nearby tree.
When Ainsley heard what the Godfather said, her face paled.
[Don't we need to stop them? If they call reinforcement here, it will be bad– ]
[No. This lord's plan is exactly to call for their reinforcements.] The Godfather suddenly threw Ainsley off guard with her words.
?! The heck??
[What are you talking about, Godfather? Didn't we kill the guards to prevent them from calling their reinforcements– ]
[This lord did. But it was because the reinforcements weren't supposed to come before our troops annihilated those in the third area.]
Ainsley was dumbfounded.
[W-why do we have to let the reinforcement come? We already won the war the moment we stole the territory…]
The Godfather only chuckled at Ainsley's words.
[Lil Lass, you're still too naive. Do you think that after we stationed fifty guards here, the family won't send us their reinforcements to attack?]
[They...won't if they don't know?]
[But to register the territory as your family's territory, they must know, right? There's no way the family won't know about the ownership change.]
[That…]
[They will know sooner or later.] The Godfather played with the blood cloak around his shoulders and chuckled coldly.
[That's why, to rob the territory officially, you should beat the reinforcement team too. That way, they won't suddenly attack the 50 guards from your troops that you will leave here.]
The more Ainsley listened to the Godfather's words, the more she realised that she was still too incompetent.
[...right. I didn't think that far. So...in the end, we will have another round of war?]
[Yeah. That's why pull your guards that you leave at the first and second area. Gather at the empty field in front of the valley.]
[Alright.]
[Hum. Don't worry. Those in the first and second areas won't join the war once they know we are here to rob the third area.]
The Godfather flicked his fingers as he shared visions with the blood chibis. By now, the guards already sounded the alarm, but the massacre down there already ended too.
[Let's check on the casualties while waiting for their reinforcement to arrive.]
The Godfather retracted all the blood chibis created from Ainsley's blood and stored the blood inside the storage necklace.
Ainsley was instantly taken aback by the Godfather's action.
'We...are storing my own blood?'
