Chapter 213: Twenty thousand demonic beasts
Jormungandr and Freya couldn’t help but frown as they heard those words. The duo understood the need to test the offensive might of the Azarin Empire’s capital to understand what the Xaos Kingdom’s forces would face once they marched in.
However, while they were strong and certainly capable of defending themselves, they would be crushed if they marched against the capital. Even a probatory attack would reveal their presence, and if the Pope were to appear with a few hundred strong soldiers, they might not be able to escape alive.
Vlad noticed the duo’s worry and spoke with a relaxed smile. "Don’t worry, I do not propose we attack the capital. I am not that crazy. However, we will have to work very hard to get accurate information. I have a plan, and it will not be easy, but success will give us all the information we might need."
Jormungandr and Freya immediately nodded. They knew that Vlad’s schemes were always top-tier, and they were confident that they would obtain what they needed if they implemented his plan effectively.
Seeing the determination in their eyes, Vlad nodded and began explaining his plan’s details. Once Freya and Jormungandr heard it all, they were impressed and filled with awe before renewed determination arose in their eyes.
After that, Vlad, Jormungandr, and Freya nodded to each other and split up. Vlad used the demon summon to head north of the Azarin Empire’s capital while Freya and Jormungandr dashed in another direction, moving as fast as they could.
Each had a mission, and all needed to go according to plan if they wanted to learn the offensive power of the Azarin Empire’s capital without risking their lives.

A man with a thin body covered in golden armor stood in an impressive white marble room. His name was Golkon Manius, a General of the Azarin Empire in charge of defense within the empire’s borders.
Golkon’s days were usually very relaxed as there were no real threats to the empire since the Golden Sky kept the demons away. Of course, the rest of the cities in the Azarin Empire were in a state of total mayhem, but he only worried about Radiance City.
Unfortunately for Golkon, his leisure days were over due to the myriad of messages reaching his desk. Dozens of reports detailed explosions taking down the white walls, fires consuming several locations, and all sorts of serious problems coming from the north of Radiance City.
