Chapter 2627 Planning a New Surprise
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Two months later...After the previous battle, Armhands stood firm, returning to its regular activities, while part of the guild tried to rebuild what had been lost.
Although hundreds of internal and external members had died because of the detonation of the enemy bomb, the guild had tens of thousands of members. It would take more than that day's attack to wipe out the force or shake its foundations.
The force was soon up and running as normal, with Minos using the few hostages he got to help his men get stronger and get information on the enemies.
Not only had the enemy level 115 Supreme fallen into the hands of the force commanded by Segiel on that fateful day. 21 level 114 individuals had been deliberately imprisoned by the Stuart family for later use.
As such, in recent weeks, through the interrogations of these 22 individuals, Segiel has passed on important information to the Elders outside headquarters. In addition, Minos wisely used the 21 individuals to help strengthen another group of men in the guild.
Through the deaths of the 21 individuals, a new level 115 Supreme had emerged among the remaining Generals in the headquarters. Meanwhile, seven more men of level 113 had reached level 114.
The remaining men available for Minos to help with cultivation were either too weak or had recently received help from him and would now spend time cultivating in order to get his help again in the future.
Not only that, but even though they were in the middle of a war, reaching enemies to use as sacrifices wasn't so easy for the remaining group at headquarters, since they couldn't casually leave their posts to get guinea pigs for Minos.
So, after this subtle strengthening generated by Minos, the guild was dealing with its own affairs and the weaknesses of some of its members.
...
At the guild's command headquarters, Minos, Segiel and Abby were together, with Ruth in front of them, talking about the situation of the level 114 Sovereigns who had sacrificed their parasites in the previous fight.
.
"There's not much I can do beyond what I'm already doing." Ruth lamented as she said this to her companions, "Even with the help of Minos and the guild doctors, I can't shorten the level 114 Sovereigns' recovery much more. It will take them at least another two months to recover."
Their current concern was how long it would take for the men, who had sacrificed their Flashdrain parasites, to recover their condition. As already known, after the parasite's sacrifice, such cultivators become very vulnerable.
Ruth had been working with the guild's doctors to speed up their recovery rate, but the chances for them were not positive. Apart from speeding up their recovery time by less than 50%, there was really nothing else they could do. That was something that depended a lot on the bodies of those individuals.
Minos was already helping the men with his divine ability, using Temporal Sands to make the passage of time different for them. But unfortunately, their situation was so bad that even with Minos' ability, there was no considerable reduction in the time needed for the men to recover.
"Sigh! That's a shame. What about the Supremes?" Segiel looked at Minos. He was the only one capable of helping those Supremes who had sacrificed their parasites in the fight to defend the headquarters.
There were no 12th stage doctors in the guild, so only time could help the Supremes.
Fortunately, Minos' divine ability could work on anyone, regardless of their level, as long as they allowed his action.
Minos said to her, "Without my help, those men would take three years to return to their normal condition. But even I can only help them divide that time by six... In short, it will take them another four months to recover."
"That's good." Abby looked at Segiel. "Even though we'll still be without them for four months, the enemies definitely don't expect that. They probably think they'll recover before our Supremes, but I'm not sure about that. Maybe we can surprise them once again!"
Minos nodded affirmatively as he looked at Segiel. "Yes, it's possible. But we have plenty of men in position to fight first, if necessary. We can count on almost 30 Supremes if we sacrifice the parasites of all the level 114 cultivators in the guild who can make it in the next challenge. That will be enough to at least stop the enemies again."
The news wasn't so bad, but it wasn't good either. Depending on the enemies' recovery rate, they might have to face another 'draw', or they might have a chance of a hard-fought victory. But, as it turned out, that was out of their control.
"What about news concerning the Elders and the Supreme Leader?" Ruth asked the Commander. "If they resolve the war in the meantime, we won't have to worry about a next attack."
"I find it difficult that there won't be a next attack." Segiel looked at the black-haired woman and said, "The enemies are hiding well and there's no sign that our superiors are going to fight soon.
I believe that for the next year, we will live through the dilemmas we have today." She sighed as she shook her head.
"Let's try to save your sacrifice as much as possible." Minos looked at Segiel meaningfully. "I doubt we'll have to deal with a fourth attack, so if there is a third enemy move, that would be the time for you to show what you can do. Moving in this way before then could be perilous."
"I agree, but it's not really up to me," this blue-haired woman said with an unsure tone.
"Don't think about it. We'll find a way to avoid sacrificing your parasite in the next fight." He massaged her back, smiling reassuringly at her.
"Let's stay positive." Abby agreed. "At any moment, the war situation could change. If it does, our worries will be for nothing."
"Yes, for now, let's just carry on with what we were already doing. There's not much more we can do, anyway." Segiel agreed, soon leaving Minos and Ruth to return to continue working with the stronger guild members who were injured.
Minos also had to keep an eye on the future to find out about the next problems ahead of them, so there was no time to waste!
Abby left too, going to deal with the many guild members who had died and were now at her disposal for her to bring back to life and use for the good of the force.
