Chapter 165: Can’t beat it, can’t beat it at all

Heavy discussions alternated around the round table.

They speculated that it might be the remnants of the Osiris clan. After all, this was one of the only dark factions that had produced level 7 and multiple level 6s.

Although they were defeated by Zeus and Hera's followers before, there are still some level 6 members lingering around, so it is not impossible to win them over again.

Finn clapped his hands to draw everyone's attention back. He looked at Yasfi and said, "We have a general understanding of the enemy's overall strength. So let's talk about the new intelligence we have."

Yasfei stood up and gave a brief description: "We found the new bases of the three dark factions. They are all located in abandoned workshops and warehouses. Judging from the number of sentries disguised as ordinary people, it is not an exaggeration to call them the headquarters."

"So we have to strike first and raid the three strongholds at the same time." Finn said calmly:

"Cut the opponent's wings while avoiding the enemy's trump card."

"We will take one." Alisha raised her hand and analyzed: "The two major factions in the city acted separately, so it is natural that the remaining one should be handed over to us."

Shakti added: "We will act together with the Astraea family."

Kaguya prompted, "What about the possibility of a trap?"

Charles glanced at the woman at the opposite table. She was too sensitive...

Finn smiled and said, "Even if it's a trap, we have to jump in. We don't have time to delay now. Of course, the invasion force not only needs considerable combat power, but also needs to monitor other areas..."

He looked at Royman and said, "Ishtar, Dionysus, Hephaestus... ask all the powerful factions for help. I'll leave this to you, Royman."

Finn looked at Yasfi again, "The Hermes Familia will be responsible for patrolling the entire city. Is that ok?"

"Yes."

"Then the battle will begin in three days."

Several people looked at each other and nodded.

As everyone was leaving the conference hall, Finn called a few people back, "Ota, Alyshe, Shakti, and the Soma clan, wait, I have something else to discuss with you. Come to the Loki clan later."

……

The House of Dusk.

There were only a few people sitting in the hall.

Finn got straight to the point: "The gods should have told you the information that Jester brought."

"What?" Shakti was confused.

Loki leaned aside, looking apologetic, "Ah, sorry, sorry. Because Ganesha was too noisy, I didn't call him during the meeting."

Shakti: “…”

Finn could only repeat himself: "In the previous meeting, I did not release all the information. Because I confirmed that the guild had spies, so all the information released was "false information."

"Huh? Aren't we going to attack the stronghold?" Alisha exclaimed.

"No. Let's go." Finn said calmly:

"According to Jester's intelligence, the Dark Faction has a huge stockpile of fire stones and ignition devices, so that the believers can ignite this explosive made of their bodies at will. This amount is probably enough to ignite the entire city."

Shakti exclaimed: "Mobile bomb?"

"Yes. We must completely eliminate this destabilizing factor before a powerful enemy attacks." Finn nodded.

"The best way is to use myself as bait and lure them to take out these fire stones."

Ota said coldly, "Isn't it too risky? In an attack of this scale, many people will die if we are not careful."

Finn looked at Chanis at this time: "So it's the Soma clan's turn to appear here."

Chanis pushed up his glasses and took out a bamboo tube from his pocket: "Everyone, please look."

As he spoke, he lit a small lighter, and the fuse on the bamboo tube burned quickly. Three seconds later, there was a bang, and a stream of ammunition with surging sparks shot out from the bamboo tube.

The whole room was filled with brilliant flames.

"This is..." Alisha opened her mouth.

Shakti stroked his chin and said, "I see. Using the characteristics of fireworks, they can forcibly ignite the flame stones on the dark faction members from a long distance, causing them to self-destruct. It's a very clever countermeasure."

Finn nodded. "Let's attract most of the suicide soldiers to deal with us first, and then we'll use our own tactics against them before they can react."

"As a tool that even ordinary people can use, my plan is to give one to all residents of the city, so that fireworks can flood Orario before the enemy takes action."

Kaguya glanced at the bored Ciel and said, "So, you deliberately let the guild's spies leak the information that we were going to attack the base?"

She warned, "But this plan has too many unexpected events... Not only should we take necessary precautions in the city, but it would be best to secretly evacuate the people."

Finn shook his head: "It's too much of a move, it's easy to alert the enemy."

Kaguya narrowed her eyes: "Are you going to sacrifice a few people again?"

Livilia lowered her eyelids in pain: "There is nothing we can do about it. The enemy we are facing will not give us too much time to breathe."

Finn said dejectedly, "Sorry, actually, we know the identity of the enemy's trump card. They are the remnants of the former Zeus and Hera families, [Gluttony] and [Silence]. Including the fairy soldiers of the dark faction and Valetta, there are more than 5 level 11 combat forces alone."

Finn raised his head and crossed his fingers, saying, "The latest intelligence also shows that Gluttony has probably reached level 8. In my plan, if we want to defeat him, we can't do it with just one clan. We must unite with Freya's clan and gather everything to have hope."

"LV...8?!!!!" Ota's pupils contracted violently.

As the older generation, they grew up under the shadow of Zeus and Hera, and of course they were personally ravaged by lv8. They knew exactly what lv8 was like.

If lv6 and lv7 are an insurmountable gap, then lv7 and lv8 are like a natural moat.

With the city’s current combat power, there are two at lv6 and six at lv5. How can we defeat them?

"So we must unite. Use our respective abilities and cooperate with each other. Ota, I hope to talk to Freya. Can you convey it to me?"

"I'll convey it." The cold and arrogant pig man had a solemn expression.

He was well aware of the rift between the two clans, and considering the situation within Freya's clan, the possibility of combining their forces was too low.

Shakti looked at Finn, who was under great pressure, and couldn't help but ask, "Can we win?"

"Ah. We will win." Finn smiled. "If we can put everyone's cards on the table, set up traps, and prepare magic items that target Gluttony's weaknesses, I have a 7% chance of winning."

But apparently, this is too difficult.

Ability value is the life of the adventurer. Once exposed, it is almost equivalent to handing the handle to the enemy. Given the relationship between the two families, this is almost impossible.

Chapter 166: Valetta: Finn must be taught a lesson this time!

In the second half of the small meeting, Finn explained to everyone the information about [Silence] and [Gluttony] that he had obtained from the guild.

This naturally includes Alfia's "disease" and Chardo's "poison".

"Our goal is to fight a protracted war, using numbers and props to forcibly drain the opponent's physical strength." Finn emphasized the key points on the blackboard.

Ciel yawned.

This information is useless to him, and the conditions of Alfia and Chardo are no longer what they used to be. The current tactics are useful, but they are not very meaningful.

But since he was already here, he could only listen along with Chanis.

Glancing at his elder brother, Chanis was listening attentively with a burning gaze. Every time he heard how powerful his opponent was, he couldn't help getting excited, but when he talked about his weaknesses, he sighed secretly.

At this time, he should be very confused about which side he should stand on.

"What happened to your captain?" Kaguya took the time to glance at Ciel who was lying on the table.

"Ah~ I've never seen such a big scene before, so it's inevitable that I feel nervous." Charles rolled his dead eyes.

"You're not nervous, aren't you worried about losing?"

"It's not my turn to fight against Gluttony anyway. What needs to be done has been done, and the rest is for you big shots to worry about. Hehe, girl of justice, just protect me with your life." Charles secretly gave a wicked smile.

"Your attitude is really infuriating." Kaguya lowered her mouth in dissatisfaction.

After a pause, she whispered again: "I heard that you developed the fireworks yourself? It seems that you really helped a lot this time. Thank you."

Ciel raised his eyebrows. "Oh, I actually heard thanks from Miss Yamato Rindo? How rare."

"Well, as you can see, I am a genuine good person. I don't mind you giving me the good person card."

Girl, thank you too early.

“Eh! So noisy.” Kaguya turned her head away unhappily: “It’s such a waste of expression to put on a nice face to a guy like you.”

The second meeting lasted for an hour, and the most important decision still needed to wait for the cooperation of Freya's family.

"In the worst case scenario, Freya and I will have to deal with the two Tyrants separately... I hope they can delay us until we can deal with Alfia."

Watching the leaders of each clan leave, Finn sighed.

……

Five hours after the combat meeting.

In a corner of the cold maze, there were several figures shrouded in shadows.

"We've received a report from a mole in the guild." Olivas held a folded piece of paper in his hand, the corners of his mouth raised.

"Haha, that woman really did it. We really have to thank the "believers" of the god of death." Valetta patted her knee and laughed with success.

"Haha, they let the spy run wild, but they haven't made any contact for five years... I didn't expect that the [Killing Emperor] actually has a patient side."

The man with no features——【Faceless】Witt, opened one eye slightly: "Come to think of it, this time the information will not be leaked by the traitor again, right?"

"Don't worry, there are only three of us here. If the information is leaked, it must be one of us." Olivas glanced at Valetta.

"Why are you looking at me? That's because Finn is too cunning. I admit that I underestimated him before, which led to some flaws in the tactics I formulated. After all, he is a more difficult character than the gods. If you are not careful, he will target you." Valetta raised the corner of his mouth:

"But... this time is different."

"This is a killer move that has been planned for five years. It will definitely fool Finn and deal him a fatal blow."

Valetta was immersed in the plan, and suddenly changed his tone: "Compared to this, [Faceless], where is your main god?"

"He's probably just hanging out somewhere." Witt shrugged. "After all, he pushed most of the plans to Mr. Joker."

"Tsk, that brat." Valetta recalled the scene where her halo was shattered by Charles.

Although she didn't want to admit it, he shattered her fantasy and made her face up to her own strength.

"Wait Finn, I'm going to make you pay this time! Make you look down on me!"

……

The next day.

Man-made maze.

The conference hall was filled with magic stone lamps and could accommodate a hundred people. A long table was placed in the center. Above the main seat was the throne. On both sides below stood dozens of believers wearing sleeveless maid outfits.

They brought wine and fruits and served the faction cadres who had fallen.

Thanatos, who entered from the side, frowned in dissatisfaction when he saw this scene:

“I don’t like this atmosphere.”

Erebus, who was following behind him, shrugged: "Well, the dark faction is also human. Compared with the difficult conditions before, it is much better now."

"Although we yearn for killing and death, even a madman needs pleasure, right?" Alecto glanced at the gods:

"It doesn't make sense that those righteous bitches can bathe in hot springs and enjoy delicious food while we have to hide in the sewers. This makes us look like the weaker party."

Erebus smiled: "That makes sense. We can't lose in terms of momentum. This is good."

Thanatos suddenly.

When all the faction cadres were seated and had enough food and drink, the magic stone lamp in the conference room slowly went out, and a spotlight fell in front of a metal door.

There was a rustling sound of clothes being blown up.

Soon after, in the misty atmosphere, solemn figures stepped forward.

He had slightly long grey hair tied into a short ponytail, and a half-covered black and white mask on his face, with a slightly defiant smile on the corner of his mouth. He was wearing a pure white cloak carved with gold runes; the black mink on his shoulders swayed rhythmically with the sound of his black leather boots hitting the ground.

Behind him followed a group of short girls, all wearing the same style of cloaks and masks, lined with leather boots and tights.

First, there was the meticulous elf girl with her hand on the hilt and a golden-edged "Flying Horse" tattooed on her back;

Following behind her was the "Warrior" who was looking around with her hands on her head. She was covered in heavy armor and had speakers hanging on both sides of her waist.

The third and fourth are the familiar Dis sisters. Although they are wearing masks and have cold faces, they are still recognized by the cadres of the dark faction. The patterns on their cloaks are "sword" and "flame" respectively;
