Chapter 1296

At this moment, beside him walked a middle-aged man. The man's face was plain and ordinary, but his eyes were unusually bright, as if they could see through everything.

He was the mage responsible for transmitting information through magic.

Lord Aosaide. When Kas saw this man, he hurried forward.

My lord. What are your orders? the mage asked respectfully. Heh heh, I have a matter for you to handle.

What matter? Please make it clear, my lord. the mage asked respectfully.

This matter concerns Lord Chenxi.

It concerns Lord Chenxi. Lord Aosaide Kas paused here, his gaze sweeping over the others, then continued: "All of you, leave."

Yes, my lord.

At once, the soldiers bowed and took their leave.

After they had gone, Lord Aosaide Kas turned to the man before him and asked: If I recall correctly, you can use magic to contact the other lords, yes?

Hearing Lord Aosaide Kas say this, the man nodded and replied: That's right, my lord.

Good. Lord Aosaide Kas nodded upon hearing this, then said: "Now, as I require, contact every lord we have ties with, one by one, and tell them this—

At this moment, Lord of Destruction Aosaide Kas paused to think for a moment.

Then he continued: Tell them Lord Chenxi Li Yue was attacked at Jade Dragon Mountain. He has now come to my territory, and begs the other lords for aid. It concerns the survival of countless lords. Come at once.

Yes, my lord. the man nodded.

Then, the man was seen slowly raising the magic staff in his hand and beginning to chant an incantation.

After a simple magical incantation flowed from the man's lips, a great curtain of light appeared before him, and a line of text was displayed upon it.

And the content of that text was precisely what Lord of Destruction Aosaide Kas had just said.

"—Go!"

As the man swung his staff heavily, the curtain of light instantly transformed into several beams of light that shot off in every direction.

My lord, the message has been sent. I believe the other lords will receive it soon, and will be able to reply shortly.

Good. Then how long will it take for them to reply?

That, this subordinate cannot say for certain at the moment. But judging by the distances between us, it should take about one to two hours for them to arrive. If nothing unexpected happens, by dinnertime every lord who received the message should be able to reply.

Good.

Lord Aosaide Kas nodded.

My lord, what do we need to do now? the mage asked.

Mm, for now, dispatch a squad of men to guard the dwelling where Lord Chenxi is staying. No one else may enter or leave without my order.

Yes, my lord.

The mage agreed at once.

"Also, if any other lord replies, tell me the very first moment you hear, understood?"

My lord, set your mind at ease. That is my duty.

Then, begin execution now.

Yes, my lord.

As the mage spoke, he slowly withdrew.

And at this moment, Lord of Destruction Aosaide Kas's gaze turned toward the distant horizon.

A wave of worry stirred within him.

"I hope… everything will be in time."
