Chapter 1109: Chapter 677: Shadows and the Approaching Challenge_1 Chapter 1109: Chapter 677: Shadows and the Approaching Challenge_1 âYou are truly wise, my lord!â
Under the shadowy light, No. 7 Black-robed Personâs tone carried a clear hint of excitement, as he nodded repeatedly, âWith your three powerful cards, we can easily plunge these two opponents into a bottomless abyss!â
âHehehe, naturally.â
The corners of the Nightmare Knightâs hazy mouth pulled upward in a sinister curve, sneering, âAs long as we assist the Second Prince in taking control of this area, we wonât be far from controlling the entire Coldflame Kingdom.â
âYou are right, my lord. Once we take control of the Coldflame Kingdom, it will be much easier for us to carry out our Divine Plan.â
No. 7 Black-robed Personâs tall and burly body trembled as he joined in the eerie laughter.
A moment later, No. 7 Black-robed Personâs voice revealed some doubt, asking, âMy lord, our organization has supported the Second Prince secretly in the past. Why are you directly commanding the New Noble Forces to confront the White Knight this time?â
âFirst of all, you should understand that the Second Prince is nothing more than a chess piece in the hands of the organization. The reason we still respect him is because his usefulness has not been lost. After all, the smooth progress of our previous actions in various parts of Coldflame is all due to his secret mediation in the Royal Capital.â
The Nightmare Knightâs tone was indifferent, as if discussing a trivial object, âThat foolish fellow thinks heâs using the organization when in fact it is the organization using him. As soon as he ascends the throne and takes control of the entire Coldflame Kingdom, he will simply turn into a puppet that follows orders.â
Pausing for a moment, the Nightmare Knight continued, âAs for why the organization is sending me to appear openly in war, the reason is actually very simple. According to the current situation, only by controlling the Coldflame Kingdom can the Divine Plan be carried out more effectively.â
âOh?â
Hearing the Nightmare Knightâs words, No. 7 Black-robed Personâs voice became even more puzzled, asking further, âWhy didnât the organization do this from the beginning?â
âOld Seven, you sure have a lot of questions. But Iâm in a good mood right now, so I donât mind telling you.â
Leaning on his throne, the Nightmare Knight rested his chin on his slender hand, replying, âThere are three main reasons why the organization has not appeared openly in the past.â
âFirstly, if our actions are too conspicuous, it will draw the attention of other large neutral forces. Considering the bigger picture, the organizationâs actions involve various human countries, and we cannot afford to disrupt the entire chessboard just for the sake of the Coldflame Kingdom.â
âSecondly, the Coldflame Royal City has the powerful old man known as Wu guarding it; ordinary Tier 5 powerhouses are no match for him. A blind attack would only lead to increased casualties.â
âThirdly, and most importantly, it is said that the Coldflame Royal Family has a hidden card, a formidable force. This is also the main reason why the organization has strictly ordered avoiding direct confrontation with the Coldflame Royal Family.â
Upon saying this, the Nightmare Knight lazily switched hands supporting his chin, saying leisurely, âIf you have any more questions, ask them quickly before I grow tired.â
âYes, my lord.â
Without any hesitation, No. 7 Black-robed Person inquired immediately, âI can understand the first two points you mentioned, but as for the third, what kind of card does the Coldflame Royal Family possess that could make even our vast organization so cautious?â
âAs for the specifics of this third point, I am not certain. But what I can say for sure is that this secret has been passed down through the generations of Coldflame Kings.â
The Nightmare Knight spoke bluntly, âWith that in mind, as soon as that self-righteous Second Prince ascends the Coldflame Throne, everything will become clear. This is also an important reason why the organization has decided to intervene in this power struggle directly. After all, at this stage, the organizationâs actions in various human countries have encountered some minor obstacles; our battlefront has been stretched too thin.â
âThis is precisely what makes the organization so terrifying, isnât it? With their power alone, they are nearly challenging the entire human world.â
No. 7 Black-robed Person pondered for a moment, nodding in admiration, âThis is a level of strength that no other human force in our world possesses.â
âYouâre correct. The Treasures are scattered in every corner of the human world, and only in this way can they be collected as quickly as possible.â
The Nightmare Knightâs tone grew more chilling, as he laughed sinisterly, âAs long as we can successfully open even one of those Gates, I fear that the whole human world will fall into our hands, and the time to execute the final step of the Divine Plan will come.â
âI truly look forward to that moment!â
No. 7 Black-robed Personâs words were full of anticipation and longing, also speaking ominously, âFor that moment, every adversary standing in our way must be eliminated!â
At this point, No. 7 Black-robed Person shook his head helplessly, âBut as you said, our Divine Plan is facing considerable obstacles right now.â
âThis is yet another reason for the organization to intervene in this power struggle.â
The Nightmare Knightâs voice grew increasingly somber, speaking ominously, âYou took part in that mission in the Holy Night Kingdom some time ago, didnât you? Thereâs no need for me to remind you of the sudden turn of events.â
