King Ember's Journey to Tevat

Chapter 871 Ahambreich's Enemies
"Huh!"

The Captain jumped out of the open portal, breathing heavily, which startled the Harlequin who saw him like this for the first time.

"Is the God of Fire so powerful?" asked the Harlequin.

The captain waved his hand upon hearing this: "Where's the girl? The Heart of God should have arrived, right?"

"We're here," the clown nodded, causing the captain to relax.

He stretched his sore arms and chuckled, "The Fire God is just as bad as me. I barely managed to take her God's Heart away from her."

"As for my appearance, that's another matter."

As he spoke, the captain reached into his mask and covered his mouth.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

After a dull cough, his momentum finally seemed to be much better.

"Are you okay?"

"No, now that all seven God's Hearts have been gathered, it's time to summon them all, right?"

The captain waved his hand to indicate that he had no problem, then looked up and asked the question about the mobilization of the Clown Fatui.

"They have already been sent out. I believe they will all be here in no time."

"That's good. What about the Queen? Has she been informed of all this?"

"She knew about the Heart of God before us." The Harlequin looked up into the distance. It seemed that there must be some kind of connection between the Seven Gods, so that the Queen of Winter could sense it as soon as all the Hearts of God were out of control.

"That's good, let's start preparing. We have been waiting for this day for too long."

The captain nodded and said that they, the Fatui, had been planning for these seven Hearts of God for so long, and now they had finally succeeded.

Hundreds of years of accumulation will begin to play their role.

"Of course I know this, but before that, there is something I need to ask of you."

"But it doesn't matter."

"Until all the executive officers are assembled, I need you to guard the Heart of God."

The captain was surprised by the clown's request. He lowered his head and thought for a while before slowly asking:
"Why? Are you worried there's a traitor among the executive officers?"

The clown shook his head and laughed when he heard this: "That's not the case. The executive officers were all carefully selected by me, so there won't be any traitors."

"I'm worried that the Heart of God will be stolen again."

"The Northern Continent Intelligence Organization? Do they have the guts to do that? And if we start to attack them now, let alone our intelligence, there won't be enough time, right?"

The captain frowned and said, "And just relying on the Northern Continent Intelligence Organization, are you so nervous?"

The captain was not bragging. If he wanted to stop the Northern Continent Intelligence Organization, he wouldn't have to do anything. He could just appoint an executive officer.

"It's not them that I'm worried about. When you were in Nata, they joined forces with other forces to attack us once, and they almost succeeded."

Upon hearing this, the captain's tired eyes under the mask widened a little. No wonder the clown suddenly urged him so urgently that he had to abandon his own arrangements and attack the God of Fire directly.

He did not interrupt the Clown. Since the Clown said that he had thwarted the plan of the Northern Continent Intelligence Network, the next risk would definitely not be on them.

An assassin hiding in the shadows is only most deadly the first time he strikes.

"It is the people from my homeland that I want you to be wary of, Amfortas."

"Anfortas... tell me more specifically."

The captain straightened his body and listened attentively. The guy who could make the clown so nervous must be someone very important.

"He is the Marshal of Kanreya. I heard that after the Black King became incapacitated, he served as regent for a period of time."

"As for the information about him afterwards, I don't know much about it."

As he spoke, the clown raised his head and showed a look of emotion for the first time in a long time:

"I thought the remnant he led had perished in the barrenness and curse, but unexpectedly he came back not long ago, and some special changes had taken place in him."

"He was originally one of the best fighters in the army, and his current strength is unknown. You are strong, but you have to be careful."

The clown patted the captain's shoulder, his face serious.

The captain tilted his head to look at the clown's somewhat aged hand and nodded: "No problem, I will handle it carefully, you can go and prepare the ceremony for the Queen to absorb the power of the Heart of God." "Well, before I am ready, the Heart of God has been on the altar in the auditorium. You keep an eye on it."

The clown heard the captain's full-throated reply, and the tension in his heart finally relaxed. Anfortas's last words, "It will be more convenient for me to take them all when all seven are gathered," always lingered in his mind, and now it finally calmed down for a while.

"Crash! Crash!"

After the clown cleaned up the broken pieces of the planet on the table, he gradually left, leaving the captain alone in deep thought.

"Anfortas... Marshal Kanrea... Regent..."

These names were bigger than each other, and they made the captain feel heavier. He stretched out his hand that had been behind his back, and on the palm was a very eye-catching red and white object.

"Really...no problem?"

The captain shook his head while muttering to himself. He could feel that the poison in his body was a chronic poison, and his body was enough to hold out for a while.

The war will begin soon, and in the face of the current tight time, this poison seems insignificant.

"Come on though!"

The captain clenched his palms and then opened them again. With a "pop" sound, the red and white objects that had been frozen into ice crystals fell to the ground and crushed into pieces.

……

For several days, the atmosphere of Solstice became more and more serious. In Solstice City, countless Fatui who had returned from other countries gathered. Gradually, the bustle of the city was replaced by solemnity.

"Are the Fatui making any big moves?" Hidden in the upper floors of a building, Kaeya was holding a binoculars to get a bird's eye view of the city.

From time to time, he would write something in his little notebook.

"Kaia Alberic! If you still have a conscience, come and help me!"

Amidst a huge pile of bills and documents, Anfortas slammed the table in annoyance.

The man who made the clown and the captain extremely nervous was now being annoyed by endless trivial matters.

As for why... he can only ask the red-haired boy with a complicated expression opposite him and the boy with a crew cut whose hair has not yet grown fully.

Ever since the last time the Northern Continent Intelligence Network teamed up with Zahn and his men to steal the Heart of God, the Fatui have been hunting them more and more intensely.

Diluk and the others are easy to deal with. The Northern Continent Intelligence Network has been able to survive under the noses of the Fatui for so many years. They know exactly when to step forward and when to retreat.

But it’s different for Zaen and the others. If it weren’t for Kaeya and Diluk’s constant persuasion, Zhidong would probably have started a fierce war by now.

This is no joke, Zahn and his companions used to be the doctor's experimental materials, but now they have the Eye of God, and their numbers alone are enough to defeat the doctor's slices.

If they had turned around and attacked the Fatui head-on, I'm afraid everyone would be warming themselves by the fire in the streets in the middle of winter.

"Here I come, my great-great-great-great... great-great-grandfather." After Kaia said a lot of "greats", he put down his cavalry captain's intelligence book and came to Anfortas's side.

"What is the problem?"

"No problem, I want to exercise. That buzz cut guy said there are more than a dozen people coming. You arrange it!"

Anfortas' eyes widened and he pushed the paper and pen towards Kaia.

"Let me think...how many strongholds do we have left?"

"No more, it's all full."

Anfortas' words made Kaia's face twisted instantly. Without a base, and with such distinctive features as Zen's group, what should they do?

"Why are they all running to Zhidong? Can't you let them go to other countries? With God's Eye, you can live anywhere?"

Kaiya bit his pen, his eyes darting around the resettlement report on the desk.

"They came here with the Fatui. Fatui from other countries have all fled back to Winter Solstice, so they came too."

Zahn said a little sheepishly.

"Does that mean there might be someone else coming next?"

Zahn nodded silently.

"Ah my! Damn doctor, what kind of experiment requires so many people?! My Ahambridge family and he are irreconcilable!"

From then on, the Ahambrook family had one more enemy.
