The Kind of Evil-Chapter 229: Rejoin.

‎The news was heard by Thalior and the Alliance about the revolutionary parties that Xena and Astrea visited. They heard that the parties accepted the treaty, letting the South Neva Union and the Servil faction advance to the west of South Neva.

‎

‎Rasmus and the others were summoned to the meeting hall by Thalior. Uriel had been staying in the palace since she arrived and had extended the border. There were two Archbishops that Astrea sent to assist the South Neva Union army as well.

‎

‎Archbishop Pavius and Archbishop Theresa were the ones that Astrea entrusted to the South Neva Union. They possessed a lot of divine energy, so that they were qualified to become Cardinals. They were one step closer to becoming Cardinals, which meant they were no ordinary Archbishops.

‎

‎"Lady Xena will join us in taking down the Ederlyn Kingdom. The reason is because of the route as you can see here on the map," Thalior pointed at the map and tapped his finger on it.

‎

‎The Ederlyn Kingdom was on the north side of the continent. There were two nations behind it that weren't that far, the Rumansia Kingdom, and the Wieldon Kingdom. The reason that the Servil faction joined the South Neva Union forces was that they could immediately attack the Rumansia Kingdom, which was to the southwest of the Ederlyn Kingdom.

‎

‎It was all because of the parties that had decided to accept the treaty. The route was blocked because they didn't want anyone to go through their territories. Thalior and Xena respected their concerns, which was why Xena took the north route with the South Neva Union.

‎

‎"As we know, the Alliance doesn't have enough force to invade the revolutionary forces on their own. Once the Servil faction occupied the Rumansia Kingdom, they would go all the way to the south and ambush the Regnide Republic with the Alliance army," Thalior dragged his finger down on the map and tapped the Regnide Republic territory.

‎

‎Everyone looked at the map as they nodded with understanding.

‎

‎"Lady Uriel, we would like you to help us from here on out," Thalior looked at Uriel with a serious expression. "You have heard about the thing that Her Holiness, Lady Novia, and Count Blackheart had encountered. We would expect something similar to be there in every nation that the revolutionary parties occupied," he explained as he rested his hands on the table, staring down at the map.

‎

‎"Yes, I understand, Your Grace. I will let my trusted knights guard the borders," Uriel said and nodded.

‎

‎Thalior nodded and then pulled out a scroll from his attire. He slid the scroll over to Rasmus as he kept his eyes on Rasmus. He didn't say a word, and Rasmus didn't need to hear anything from him as well, as he took the scroll and read it.

‎

‎The scroll contained the coordinates of the hideouts that they extracted from the records. There were six of them along the route to the Ederlyn Kingdom, and Thalior wanted Rasmus and his team to deal with them.

‎

‎"Can you do it, Count? Have you recovered?" Thalior asked.

‎

‎"Is this a request or an order, Your Grace?" Rasmus stared at Thalior as he put down the scroll.

‎

‎Thalior almost forgot why Rasmus had decided to join the cause of waging war against the revolutionary parties. It reminded him that Rasmus wasn't an ally, but rather a man who had the same goal as him.

‎

‎"It's a request, Count," Thalior answered. "We will give you what you want later on, Count," he continued with a serious expression.

‎

‎"I didn't expect you to say something like that, Your Grace. I would do it for free, no matter if it was a request or an order, but to hear that you would give something in return, it's not bad," Rasmus said with a smile on his face.

‎

‎Thalior could only nod, he didn't want to think about it anymore because no matter what, he would fall for Rasmus's trap. He was grateful enough because Rasmus would take care of the hideouts of the demonic cult.

‎

‎"Is there anything that anyone wants to ask?" Thalior looked at Novia, Rasmus, Uriel, and the Archbishops.

"Do we have any information about the location of the emissary, Your Grace? I know that we might be able to win this war against the revolutionary army, but what if the emissary has decided to join the fight, catching us off guard?" Novia asked with her hand raised. "Since they have decided to join the demons, we can assume that they're going to ask for their help. I don't think they would hide it anymore," she continued.

"That's a good observation, but we don't know anything about the emissary's whereabouts. We might or we might not encounter them," Thalior rubbed his chin, staring at the map to make a guess of Kiel's location.

Rasmus didn't know where Kiel was, and Videl's information about Kiel's location was outdated as well. He couldn't trust that information anymore, and not to mention there was another emissary that Thalior and the other didn't know about, Yaza, the so-called leader of the Fallen Watcher.

"If I were them, Your Grace, I would put myself in a place where the enemy is at their weakest," Uriel pointed out. "And we all know where it is, and especially when Her Holiness is over there as well. Hitting two birds with one stone," she continued.

Thalior crossed his arms, thinking about the possibility of Kiel planning to attack the Alliance and to take care of Astrea. Doubts began to appear, and everyone was worried about it as well except for Rasmus.

"All we can do right now is send a message to Her Holiness, unless you want to go there, Commander Uriel?" Thalior looked at Uriel with his brows raised.

"I'll follow your command, Your Grace," Uriel said without hesitation.

"Let's discuss this matter later, for now, let's continue our discussion," Thalior said as he sighed and stared at the map once again.

‎

‎"When are we going to move?" Rasmus asked.

‎

‎"Two days. We will bring 5,000 soldiers with us, and we will rest for two days there before we continue our invasion of the Wieldon Kingdom. We have to make sure that there are no towns and villages that have demons hiding there. We will hunt them down, all of them," Thalior answered as he stared at the map.

‎

‎"We have to bother Your Excellencies for this part," Thalior looked at Pavius and Theresa as he bowed his head.

‎

‎"Please, Your Grace, we will do whatever it takes to get rid of evil," Pavius answered with a gentle smile, his eyes closed, showing his wrinkles on the sides of his eyes.

‎

‎"Her Holiness entrusted the task to us, and we can't disappoint Her Holiness," Theresa bowed her head at Thalior.

‎

‎Rasmus got up from his chair and excused himself before the meeting ended.

‎

‎"Count?" Thalior furrowed his brows, watching Rasmus walk toward the door.

‎

‎"I'm not going to wait two days, I'll be going tonight with Aris and Javi to get rid of all of the hideouts. You will find us in one of the towns near the capital city of the Wieldon Kingdom," Rasmus looked over his shoulder at Thalior and then left the room.

‎

‎Thalior sighed as he sat down, however, he continued to explain the plans to the others.

‎

‎Rasmus went to the stable to pick horses for him, Javi, and Aris. However, he didn't need to choose for them since they both came to him as soon as he left the palace. Not only them, Videl also came in the appearance of a woman in her early twenties.

‎

‎"We already know everything, you don't have to tell us anything," Aris said as she looked at the horses on the sides. "And Videl is going to tag along from now on. His master is in the Wieldon Kingdom, so he's going to devour him personally," she walked toward the white horse and gently brushed its jaw.

‎

‎"Is that so?" Rasmus stared at Videl.

‎

‎"What? You don't miss me? Or are you enjoying your time without me around?" Videl crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes at Rasmus. "I know for sure your journey without me was boring since Aris can't even have a proper conversation," she continued as she stared at Aris.

‎

‎"It was good while it lasted," Rasmus sighed and chose a black horse that seemed to act docile toward him.

‎

‎Aris scoffed as she glanced at Videl, laughing at her. Javi still couldn't believe what he was witnessing, two Orthias and a mysterious man who mocked each other whenever they had the chance.

‎

‎"Just you two wait..." Videl walked past Rasmus and approached a random horse for herself. "Once I regain my power, I'll treat you two like toys..." she chuckled mischievously.

‎

‎Javi tried to not involve himself in the conversation and approached the furthest horse in the stable. He saw a brown horse and decided to take it for himself.

‎

‎Once they put on their armor and put the saddles on their horses, they rode their horses. Rasmus looked at the map and marked the coordinates based on the information on the scroll.

‎

‎"Everyone ready?" Rasmus looked over his shoulder.

‎

‎They all nodded, and then Rasmus led them out of the city.
