Chapter 97
We leave the Sect within minutes, after Elder Ming hands out communication tokens to the various squads. They’re like an open mic, transmitting every sound that’s audible to the other tokens to their bearers.
"You take the lead, we will follow your acting" Sect Master Becky tells me. "I can hide my cultivation very well, they’ll think you’re the strongest in the group"
Sporadic news filters in. 2 small sects have already fallen, their attackers moving to reinforce the attacks on stronger Sects. The wandering enemy group is headed towards High River Sect at last sighting.
Elder Song’s communication token with Nanny Vitale was destroyed just a few minutes ago, and he’s got coordinates, so we are headed there as fast as we can, trying to make our arrival look like an accidental encounter.
Group 3 has sight of them, roughly a thousand disciples, with only a few dozen at Core Formation and 3 of the enemy Immortal Rank fighters.
If the ambush goes smoothly the teams should be able to hit and vanish while Caravan runs. At least that is the plan. If not, Caravan takes the first wave of attacks and the rest attack at range while hidden.
Plan A is much better.
They’ve moved their entire force of Core Formation fighters with all 3 Immortals to intercept us, with a few moving around behind team Caravan and roughly half of their main force held back in reserve.
They seem to be guarding something, did they take prisoners at their previous attack?
