Chapter 544: The Gu Sect Shall Fall!
****(POV)
"T-there is a tunnel! It seems to lead straight into the enemy's land!"
This sentence is heavenly music to my ears. Just as we were facing our greatest peril, a miracle happens.
This is divine providence for sure! Hellios is helping us! I can hear the others thank their god but they are obviously in the wrong. As if their pitiful excuse of a deity could save us with such impeccable timing!
"We move out, right now!"
We need to act quickly. If we take too long they will take notice of this weakness. As we get there I can see the tunnel. There is a small voice in the back of my head that tells me this may be a trap for sure.
But, with a second look at it, I realize something. It hasn't been dug with any tool. This would be impossible for a human. Chances are the Gus we just faced were but a tiny portion of the ones that escaped.
How long have these creatures been working toward their freedom? This somewhat scares me but I'll just ignore it for now.
Chances are, a Gu King has been born. This means that this swarm of deadly Gus probably has a leader and purpose. It is close to impossible and quite frankly terrifying but it's also not my problem. Other factions can bear the brunt of it all.
There is already a beast tide ravaging the continent. Hopefully, the Gu tide and the beast tide will collide. Plus all of this is speculative.
"Alright! We march forward! With a path as direct as this one, we should reach our destination in about a day. Today we will eradicate evil from the world!"
I can hear small cheers as I say these lines. Well, all except the Enslavement company. They are perfectly aware that they are only here as sacrifices. Ironic of them to suffer that fate really.
That's how we keep walking. To make sure we aren't followed, we even make the Muddy ones close the tunnel behind us. This is how we proceed in complete darkness.
Many are frightened and afraid that a Gu is going to jump straight at them at any given time. Except, nothing happens the whole journey. Eventually, we reach dark sewers.
"What is this place?"
"Sir, I think this is the Gu Rearing Land"
"HAHAHAHAHA. Seriously?!"
I can't help but erupt in laughter. If it's really these Gus that escaped it means that the Gu Meadow is already defeated as a faction. In terms of actual power, they won't be able to compete in a few years.
But, it is better if we slaughter them now. Gu trainers are extremely good at hiding. The only reason they are out in the open (kinda) is that they have the strength to protect themselvesexcept they don't anymore.
This is going to feel amazing! I can feel my body prepare itself for the upcoming fight. Even the weak soldiers feel this excitement. After living in fear of Gus they want nothing more than to get revenge.
"What do you guys propose when we beat them?"
I playfully ask. Various extremely enthusiastic answers come.
"We burn it all to the ground!"
"We kill them all!"
We rape their women"
"We rape their Gus!"
Wait, what the Hell?! There is seriously something wrong with these people. Let's add killing them to the list afterward. As soon as I don't need any meat shield, they are all going down.
After a while of walking, we encounter this place's entrance gates. No casualty whatsoever. Soon we will be right in the enemy's headquarter. We will bring destruction and death, it will be oh so sweet!
"Shall we get this party started?"
Now, how do we do this? The muddy ones could force it open with an earth spell. The white lotus ones would be too flashy. I could possibly melt it along with the possible guards behind too.
That's when I see one of the Sons of Steel approach with a grin. Then he knocks on the door.
*KNOCK KOCK*
Are you kidding me?! I'm almost tempted to execute him right now, but I refrain. It seems incredibly stupid but it may just work.
Perhaps they will think this to be the birth of a special Gu. Maybe they will even open the door themselves to investigate. I can't help but chastise myself. Of course, that is way too optimistic. Or not
*Creaking of a sturdy door*
I can't believe these idiots are coming inside to investigate! Talk about a bad decision and bad luck!
Soon enough we see the faces of some Gu trainers pop in. Of course, we make short work of them. It is so satisfying to see the look on their faces as they realize far too late that something is wrong.
"It is time to have fun, everyone!"
That is when they start screaming while charging forward. They are blinded by rage and madness. Nothing will stop them.
It's quite a failure as a sneak attack, but it doesn't matter that much. They will serve nicely to test the defenses of this place. I will lie in the shadow and wait for the perfect moment to strike.
I slowly prepare tons of defensive and attack formations. If I were alone, I wouldn't have had the time to set up all this.
Many would think this sounds ironic coming from the sun sect, but they'd be wrong. Even the Sun knows to bid its time occasionally. It is only so it can shine even more brightly in the morning.
In fact, our sect's specialty has little to do with what I am doing right now. This is because I have been learning so many different techniques in a bid to progress to Rank 5.
I was hoping to stand at the top f the world along with my son. Yet, all this was for naught. He was killed in an underhanded way for sure. I'm suspecting this Gu Champion had help from that incredibly strong man.
The Unnamed God Sect, was it? Today the Gu sect is no more. Tomorrow this evil meddling Unnamed Sect will suffer the same fate.
