Chapter 43

Night slowly descended. Soon, it was midnight. All of their forces had been gathered.

Countless people were unable to sleep at night because of this. After tonight's battle, the situation in Reystromia would be completely changed. Would it be Negri, the master of Reya, who would sweep away the other major forces of Reya and take control of Reya for himself, or would the two kingdoms' forces defeat Negri and completely change the dominant force of Reya?

Most people believed that the two kingdoms had a higher chance of winning. After all, they were two different countries with the support of their own countries, while Negri had only risen to power for 10 years, so his foundation definitely couldn't compare to the two kingdoms.

However, those who knew of Negri's greatness only smiled. From a logical point of view, the two kingdoms did indeed have a higher chance of winning, but whenever they thought of that figure, they would feel fear from the bottom of their hearts.

It was an extremely ominous feeling, as if humans were nothing more than food for him to eat every day. His innate sense of danger was constantly reminding everyone who saw him that it was dangerous, dangerous, dangerous, to lie down and not move, or to run away, or to pray without stopping. They didn't attract his attention, because he was a being that surpassed humans.

And the only way to make them feel at ease was to submit to him and offer their foreheads to him. That way, they would no longer panic or feel uneasy, because they already belonged to him. They were already in hell, so why would they still be afraid of going to hell?

Chris looked up through the window. The thick black clouds had completely covered the moonlight, giving off an ominous feeling. However, the arrow had already been fired, if he didn't act today, Negri might have already recovered.

As he turned around, he saw the forces they had gathered. The Church of Divine Grace had Cardinal Augustin, two priests, and three Holy Knights, a total of 6 people. In addition to them, the merchant Grosk had also brought three bodyguards, all of whom were his trusted aides.

There was also Jason Todd, who came to avenge his family, as well as the four people they met on the way. They were all dressed differently, most likely people who wanted to rebel against Negri but didn't dare to do so. Of course, there was also the possibility that they were spies.

Including Chris himself, Grosk the merchant and Isabella the mother and daughter wouldn't be going, so there were a total of 15 of them heading towards the forbidden area of Reya, where Negri was.

He reckoned that the Kingdom of Royas had gathered quite a number of people. With all these people gathered together, even if the sky dragon were to be resurrected, the current lineup would be able to kill it.

"There's only one problem now, crow." Chris explained in a low voice: "These are the most common birds in the Reya region, and they are under Negary's control. Once hundreds or thousands of them attack, even an army of 100 can be easily killed by them"

"If we don't have a way to restrain those crows, our operation this time will definitely end in failure."

"Don't worry, Mr. Chris." Grosk smiled and said, "Before we came here, we've already sent people to buy a large amount of Smoke Grass. They should be on fire by now."

The so-called Smoke Grass was a special kind of withered grass that would be planted in certain pastures. Its main purpose was to produce a large amount of smoke when the grass was lit. The smoke would linger in the air, and while humans wouldn't be a problem, birds wouldn't be able to survive in the smoke. It was usually used during the autumn harvest to prevent migratory birds from eating the crops. Now, it was being used to restrain Negri's crows.

Sitting on his throne of bones, Negri reached out his hand. Around him, a cloud of smoke had unknowingly gathered. The smoke wasn't suffocating, but it smelled a bit strange. But judging from the crows behind him, it was obvious who caused the smoke.

"Looks like we don't need to hold back anymore" Negri smiled and waved his hand. Countless crows flew out from the trees like black clouds and took to the sky.

Outside the forbidden area, there were people observing the situation from a high vantage point. As they heard the cawing of the crows, they understood that the crows had left the forbidden area and quickly sent people to notify Grosk.

"Everyone, the crows have left the forbidden area. We've bought all the Smoke Grass in this area, it can burn for 3 hours, plus the time the smoke stays here, it should last for about 6 hours, which is until sunrise."

"I'll take Isabella and Nala to a safe place later" Grosk said: "Then may the glory shine upon you all"

Everyone exchanged glances and walked out from the courtyard. The enforcers outside noticed the commotion and quickly surrounded them, raising their spears and asked in a stern voice: "Chris Modo, are you trying to break the law and confess to the crime of assassinating Comoros' leader?"

"I'm sorry, but we don't have time to waste here" Chris sighed and moved without hesitation. His Rhythm Fist was unleashed at an incomprehensible angle, making it impossible for them to react in time and feel strange no matter how they tried to block it.

With just a few casual attacks, the enforcers were all knocked unconscious. Although they were all Negri's subordinates, they didn't commit any crimes, so there was no need to kill them.

"Let's go." The group split into a few smaller groups and headed towards the south of the Reya Forbidden Land in different directions.

The sky was already filled with dark clouds to begin with, and now there was even more smoke, further reducing visibility. They had no choice but to move at night, since their actions weren't righteous at the end of the day. If they won, they would naturally be able to shout about Negri's wickedness and properly deal with the remaining problems.

There were quite a few smart people in Reya, but most of them were normal people whose livelihoods depended on this area. If these people openly tried to start a war without any righteousness, they would soon learn the meaning of the people's anger.

Although visibility was still affected at night, it was also a lot easier to move around. The group maintained their silence and soon reached a place not too far away from the forbidden area of Reya.

There were several sentry posts around the outer perimeter of the forbidden area, with quite a few people patrolling them.

"Should we attack?" Augustin asked. Chris was about to nod.

A man wearing an iron mask and a bow on his back with a slight limp stepped forward and spoke in a low voice: "Come with me, someone will open a gate for us, we need to hurry"
