Chapter 32: Battle against the deplorable: Begins
After the meeting, the Church and Dragon Knights set out.
The plan was simple: the Dragon Knights would spread across Dolon City and report any large gatherings. Since dragons attacking within a city could be catastrophic, they were to serve as scouts only.
Meanwhile, the Darkan army and Church Knights split into squads, covering different sectors of the city. Upon receiving any report, the closest squad would mobilize.
Their current objective was to minimize the kidnappings and relocate civilians to a temporary settlement prepared by the branch family.
...
As expected, after adjusting to his new strength, the older Deplorable set out to gather forces.
As a well-connected figure in the underground, it wasn’t difficult to reach other organizations. Demonstrating the effects of the blood orb alone was enough to pique their interest. Once spies reported back to their factions, more groups became intrigued.
By the end of the second day, the number of unaffiliated underground individuals and allied organizations had grown significantly. He shared his vision—destroying the branch family and the Church, then moving against the main family. He promised to distribute temporary orbs now and permanent one when their victory was complete.
Ordinarily, such a dream would be dismissed. But with the power of the orb, it felt... possible.
The next step: kidnapping civilians to produce more temporary blood orbs.
And so, they spread out.
