"So, your grand scheme is a secret alliance?" Ascalor asked.
"Yes. For this plan to succeed, I need the help of the Shade." Adrian stated.
"Our help? If the benevolent Lord needs our aide, then we shall surely do our best. I just ask that my people not go into harm's way as we are not a race of skilled fighters." The Shade elder stated which Adrian nodded.
"Do not worry as I will not make you guys fight but I will need you people to spread information. I also need one of you to accompany me so that we can infiltrate the castles." Adrian stated.
"If it is about spreading rumors then we are great at that. The only problem is that we need something substantial to fan the rumors. Rumors alone will not make the angels protecting the king move. For your companion, you can have Awraka accompany you." The Shade elder stated which made the Shade girl jump from the shock.
"Me…me?" Awraka muttered as she could not form words.
"Yes. Would you not like to accompany the lord? If you do not want to accompany him then I can ask others for that." The Shade elder asked.
"No! I would love to." Awraka suddenly stated which shocked the Shade elder, but he knew that she was a shy girl.
"I will be in your care then." Adrian stated as he stood up and shook the hand of Awraka.
"Please take care of me as well." Awraka stated as she held out her trembling hands.
Adrian then gathered his guild members as they needed to discuss what is going to happen. He already told the Daemos elders that they just need to keep vigilance in the territory as they are also spread thin due to the Horsemen of the Apocalypse. He also brought Awraka to the guild house as a guest since what they need to do is something that needs to be kept secret.
"Awesome!" Awraka stated but inside she is already about to faint. She did not expect that her idol would work with her. She suddenly had the idea of wanting to join his guild, but she does not want to be overly friendly and scare him off.
"Thanks for the praise. Me and my friends made this guild house so that were have a place in the territory." Adrian stated as his friends arrived one by one.
"Hey! Sorry I am late." Levin Cloud stated as he is the last one to arrive.
"So…who do we have here? Do not tell me she is your girlfriend." Peridot teased but Solstice and Lycan suddenly remembered who she was.
"Are you Awraka?" Solstice asked.
Awraka almost exploded when she was teased. In fact, she almost fainted when all of Adrian's friends arrived as she is also a fan of them. She is also a fan of Peridot as she is a princess in the Eastern Continent.
"Yes! That is me." Awraka stated as her voice shifted from high to low.
"You do not need to be too nervous. We do not eat other people." Lycan stated as he could see that the young girl is extremely shy.
"Thank you." Awraka stated meekly.
"You know her?" Adrian asked Solstice.
"Yup! She is a great assassin player that was a key figure for the Vampires and the Werewolves to stop their war. There are still some still hidden distastes from those that are loyalist, but we are no longer at war. At least openly and people are working hard to form a mutual connection." Solstice stated.
"I see then since you have approved her ability then we can safely succeed." Adrian stated as he began to say everything about the brewing war.
"Seriously! Those angels should have something better to do or else I would pluck all their feathers." Solstice stated as she could not believe that someone dared to put their hands in her gold bowl.
"So, what do we need to do? You did not call us just because you want us to know of this." Levin Cloud stated.
"I already asked for someone to help us regarding the devils. She reluctantly agreed but she wanted the help of the three of you in exchange." Adrian stated as he pointed to Levin Cloud, Peridot and Kabrakan.
"I am fine with that as summoning a devil is surely not an easy job. Anastacia already reached out to us since they are also having some problem with other kingdoms pressuring them." Levin Cloud stated as he already knows why they are needed by the Evergreen guild.
"The next step would be to start making the rumors grow. Creepysoo, Lycan, Solstice, Vayu and Soleil will be the working with the other Shades to create the illusion that a devil has appeared near the three kingdoms. The devil will show up a bit later when we have a sure-fire way of taking to the kings of the three kingdoms." Adrian stated.
"Do we kill the angels?" Lycan asked.
"If they suddenly realized that they are being lured then a fight would be inevitable. I think the angels that they made to guard the kings should have sizeable power. They would not be able to pressure some of them if they are weak after all. They are probably using the power of the Church of Light. They probably threatened them that they will cut aide if they are not heard." Adrian stated.
Adrian could more or less guess that the three kingdoms are still on the fence of attacking Avalon as the demons are there. It would also serve that they have gained increased security when the demon-controlled territory sprouted. Numerous adventurers would pass by their kingdoms and take missions of killing monsters.
They are also benefitting financially as the adventurers that pass through them are also spending money. In fact, it is this money that keeps their kingdoms afloat despite having less food to harvest as they use it to import the food they need.
