Chapter 49: The Grand Chessboard
He summoned Chloe.
His first Bloodkin appeared from the shadows, a graceful and deadly vision in dark leather and silver hair.
She knelt, her amethyst eyes fixed on him with unwavering loyalty.
"Chloe," Ragnar began, his tone shifting to that of a spymaster briefing his top agent.
"I have a new mission for you and your team. A long-range expedition."
He pointed to the vast, gray, unexplored areas on the map surrounding their sectors.
"Isabelle’s team will keep Gorgon busy.
Your job is to be my eyes and ears. I want you to take your Goblin Snipers and map these surrounding territories.
I want to know every Demon King’s location, their primary race type, their Domain’s structure, and your best estimate of their strength.
I want a complete intelligence report on the entire Aethelburg region."
Chloe’s eyes gleamed with understanding. This was a mission suited to her talents: speed, stealth, and lethal precision. "It will be done, my Lord."
