Chapter 249: Springfield - Plan A and Plan B.
Night at the Wetland Plains – Between Two CampsThat night, under the expanse of a starlit sky, the Wetland Plains of Springfield became a living canvas of war’s silent prelude.The land between the two vast encampments—Verdantia’s and the invaders'—was a natural slope, gently rising and falling across the terrain.Both camps, positioned atop opposite slopes of the plains, could see each other’s lights twinkling in the distance like flickering constellations, a quiet reminder of the thousands resting, waiting, preparing.The plains were damp, the grass soft and glistening under the dew of evening.Smoke from distant campfires drifted lazily, and war horns echoed faintly on occasion, but there was an unnatural stillness—as if the land itself was holding its breath.Inside the Verdantia Command TentIn the center of Verdantia's camp stood a large makeshift war tent, reinforced with earth magic poles and draped in layered cloth stitched with the insignias of multiple noble houses.Within
Chapter 248: Springfield - A pawn for a Bishop.
The Wetlands Before the Blood Roses Arrived...The wetlands just beyond Stormreach’s border had a dense, soggy hush to them.Mist clung to the tall reeds, while pools of shallow water shimmered under the amber slant of an evening sun.A long caravan moved steadily—boots squelching, armor clinking, and voices low.At its center rode Dante, comfortably seated in a covered carriage, flanked on foot by two Enlightened cultivators draped in ceremonial robes.He cast an occasional glance out the window, more out of habit than worry.After all, they were well within their own lines—or so he thought.Marching behind Dante was a company of supposed mercenaries, men and women with a hardened air, bearing no banner but clad in worn travel leathers and dust-covered cloaks.But these weren’t ordinary sellswords.Their movements were too clean, their discipline too sharp, and their silence too deliberate.At their head marched a young man with unruly black hair, a sword slung lazily at his side.Oa
Chapter 247: Springfield - Blood Roses.
A collective gasp rippled through the millions watching.Murmurs turned to chaotic chatter, and in the same heartbeat, the Enlightened who had tried to grab Mira screamed in terror—far too late.With a flash of blue steel, Oasis cleaved sideways, his sword howling like a phoenix.The Enlightened’s shoulder split open, blood spraying in an arc before his neck followed—his head tumbling from his shoulders as his body collapsed in two twitching halves.Gasps and screams surged from both sides as blood painted the ground crimson.“Oasis!” Mira gasped, her strength returning with shock and relief.Despite her trembling knees, she forced her voluptuous form to wrap around him, arms clinging tight as tears streamed down her cheeks.She buried her face in his chest, her heart hammering in chaotic beats.Thalia’s eyes widened.“Who is that?” she murmured, voice caught in her throat.Then recognition flickered in Leonardo’s eyes.The boy before him had grown, but there was no mistaking the stor

“Hah... Master Shadowfen.”Orion immediately rose to greet the towering figure entering the tent.With genuine respect, he gestured toward the seat at the forefront.“Please, take the seat of honor.”Jovial Shadowfen, ancient and immense in presence, stepped forward with a grin.Two equally fearsome elders followed, their features chiseled with time and eyes glowing with ancestral weight.“If it isn’t little Orion,” Jovial mused, his voice low and teasing, yet crackling with authority. “You’ve grown… though I expected more wrinkles by now.”He glanced toward the battlefield, watching the balanced stalemate unfold.And added, “And I see you’ve learned the art of war. Things are well-balanced here... not like someone I know.”His gaze drifted sideways—pointedly—toward his son, Varian.Varian tensed but said nothing.Jovial ignored him and turned his attention toward the distant horizon, where the Verdantia leadership had gathered across the marshy field.“The children have grown, I see…
Chapter 245: Springfield - Invader's Reinforcement.
In the heart of the battlefield, the forces of Verdantia and the invaders clashed with relentless fervor.Aurora Riverwind, observing the unfolding chaos, maintained a composed demeanor."Lady Aurora, I think we should intervene and end this now," Vulcan Ignis urged, his impatience evident.Aurora's gaze remained fixed on the ongoing battle. "Not yet. Let the pacing continue like this. We're not losing, and the battlefield is evenly matched."Vulcan frowned. "Exactly. That's what I'm saying. They want it to proceed like this so their reinforcements can arrive."Aurora turned to him, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Don't worry about that, Vulcan. I'll just sweep the battlefield myself then. Let them think we are under their palms."Vulcan raised an eyebrow. "You have a plan if worse comes to shove?""Don't forget, Springfield is my territory," Aurora replied confidently.Her assurance silenced further objections, and the commanders continued to monitor the battle.On the opposing
Chapter 244: Wetlands of Springfield.
In the days that followed the Blood Roses’ silent conquest of Galecrest, Oasis moved with cunning precision.He began circulating through the city’s merchant district, holding private discussions with both humble shopkeepers and powerful trade guild leaders.His pitch was simple but effective: "War is on the wind. Galecrest must be protected."With 50,000 gold coins at his disposal, Oasis funded a sweeping recruitment initiative under the guise of civic defense.Mercenaries and independent guards were brought in from nearby regions—grim-faced wanderers, seasoned adventurers, former soldiers—and stationed along the outer walls and main arteries of the city.But what the merchants didn’t know was this: every replacement allowed Oasis to quietly withdraw the Blood Roses.Within two days, the innward district became their stronghold.Of the 1000s Blood Roses stationed in Galecrest, nearly all now resided in that central area in the Innwards region.A skeletal crew remained on patrol, blen
