A Demon's Journey-Chapter 496 Bold Guess

Azaroth was oblivious to whatever Shun was planning. Actually, even if he knew about Shun's plans, he wouldn't have cared much.

The situation was dramatically different than before.

Both parties suffered from a lack of accurate information. Azaroth didn't know much about Shun's personal information and vice-versa.

This meant that Shun didn't know of Azaroth's advancement to the Demon King rank. This information alone tipped the scales in Azaroth's favor.

And even if Shun found out this information by some chance, he would be helpless unless he could order multiple 7 Star Warriors after him.

Even the Monarch of the Sinyalian Kingdom didn't hold such an influence, let alone an Inquisitor working under him.

Thus, Azaroth was safe and was much ahead of Shun in this battle. As of now, Azaroth was concentrated on increasing the chaos within the Glerian Kingdom.

Laura and her group had already arrived in Outiva City. She was extremely delighted to be reunited with Yrellea and Azaroth.

Obviously, the three met secretly as Azaroth didn't want to reveal that the heads of the Misty Flower Pavilion and Noble Guardians knew each other.

The Noble Guardians, led by Laura, had raised much greater waves among the general populace than Azaroth's expectations. This was why he planned to use her in Outiva City and bow the seeds of rebellion in the general populace.

Laura would be the public figure the citizens would support.

Meanwhile, Laura would subtly guide the public to support other factions established by Azaroth's retainers.

This was Azaroth's strategy for reaping the greatest reward with the least amount of work.

As the three met secretly, Azaroth informed her of what she had to do. By now, Laura was rather proficient in manipulating and calming down the public. Thus, she perfectly understood what Azaroth wanted from her and executed it brilliantly.

After the three had concluded their serious discussions, they all enjoyed a fairly hot and sexy night.

Laura was meeting Azaroth after such a long time, and she was also looking forward to it.

After the two fell unconscious, Azaroth stood up and left the room. There was a thoughtful look on his face.

'What is this feeling of terror?' Azaroth wondered. After advancing to the Demon King rank, his instincts were a lot sharper. Thus, he couldn't ignore this feeling of terror.

'Is it possible that the Radiant God tracked down Margeria and extracted information about me from her spirit? That is entirely plausible.'

A serious expression appeared on Azaroth's face 'I need to prepare some countermeasures to deal with Archangels or even the Radiant God. But if the Radiant God is aware of my existence, why hasn't he entered the Glerian Kingdom to attack me?'

'Can he not step on Frascoia Continent for some reason?' Azaroth made a bold guess.

He felt that this guess made sense. Maybe there was a reason that he hadn't heard information about a Celestial God descending onto the continent in the last hundreds of years.

Even at the Radiant Church's primary Cathedral, there appeared to be no records of Radiant God stepping onto the Frascoia Continent after creating it.

This was considered suspicious and Azaroth suspected that it involved a great secret. Azaroth had no intentions of trying to uncover that great secret now.

He could easily uncover it after he grew stronger. The fact remained that the Radiant God couldn't step on Frascoia Continent and hunt Azaroth.

However, what Radiant God could do was send his Archangels to kill Azaroth. Even though these Archangels weren't crossing the border just yet, they would do so after the war between the Sinyalian Kingdom and the Glerian Kingdom officially begins.

The Glerian Kingdom's condition was deteriorating rapidly at this time. The general populace was the first to feel the consequences of the internal conflict.

Since the sects had attacked multiple cities and towns, it directly affected the market. Trade had to be temporarily halted because of these attacks. After all, no businessman wanted to lose his precious cargo and wagons.

As a result, basic commodity prices have skyrocketed. As the price of basic commodities increased, it triggered a chain reaction, causing the price of other commodities that were directly or indirectly dependent on it to rise as well.

When King Tryfon Rellas learned of this, he was horrified. The prime minister had just informed him that the towns targeted by these groups were the foundation of basic commodity production!

It wouldn't be wrong to say that these towns and cities supported grain and other commodities to the entire Glerian Kingdom.

The prime minister also warned the King that if the current scenario persisted, prices would rise, and food would become scarce.

This would bring the general populace on the streets. The sects supporting the King's faction would be a little hesitant to express their support to the Royal Family. They also needed to eat, albeit not as frequently as ordinary people.

Furthermore, it would destroy the current system in the Glerian Kingdom. The current system included market and administration!

In a sense, the king would be losing his hands and feet simultaneously.

To prevent this situation from occurring, the king took immediate action. He flooded the market with food from the Royal Family's reserves. It went without saying that the situation didn't return to normal, but it didn't turn any worse. In fact, it stagnated for a short period.

This gave the King ample time to prepare a strategy and free the towns that supplied basic commodities.

Multiple 6 Star Warriors were spread all across the Glerian Kingdom and they were focused on retaking control of these supply towns.

While the king's entire attention was on the market, he didn't notice the Sinyalian Kingdom's movements. f𝘳ℯℯ𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oν𝑒Ɩ.c𝑜𝙢

The Sinyalian Kingdom's army had covertly infiltrated the Glerian Kingdom. The army commander had noticed that the situation matched with that of the information he received from the higher ups.

Something major was happening on in the Glerian Kingdom, forcing the monarch to withdraw his border troops!

King Tryfon Rellas knew that the Sinyalian Kingdom would move up its border line after realizing that the Glerian Kingdom had withdrawn its border troops, but he didn't expect that the Sinyalian Kingdom would act so soon.

However, King Tryfon Rellas had little choice in this matter. He had to solve the internal matters of the Glerian Kingdom. If not, he couldn't even use all his forces to stop the Sinyalian Kingdom's army.

At that moment, something very shocking occurring. An incident that shocked both the kingdoms.

As the Sinyalian Kingdom's army infiltrated the Glerian Kingdom, they were suddenly ambushed with a massive force. This massive force numbered nearly 100,000 soldiers against 150,000 soldiers of the Sinyalian Kingdom!

And the most shocking part was that the individual leading this massive army was none other than Noah!

This force was actually ordered to strike the primary branches of the Origin Sect and the Stony Rock Sect.

However, Noah had changed the target without even asking for the king's consent. This was naturally done on Azaroth's orders.

Azaroth knew that even if the King found out about this, he couldn't blame Noah's actions. Noah was doing what any typical citizen would do. He was fighting their hated adversaries and saving the Glerian Kingdom!
