Chapter: 928

And, ever since the non-aggression treaty was signed, not a single person from the Wulin dared to threaten the Imperial palace directly either.

“Make sure that he never gets called with that name ever again.”

“Gar Mojam from Yellow River. I obey the command of the Master!”

Four days before the non-aggression treaty.

The imperial palace envoys arrived at the main hall of the Forces of Justice.

In the main hall, eight leaders of the Forces of Justice and the envoy from the Imperial Palace were bowing their heads to greet each other.

The person who was from the Imperial palace to deliver the news was Yeongjo, the Northern Commander.

Standing in front of the first seat, Yeongjo opened a scroll which had a name on it and proceeded to recite its contents.

“... the location will be held in the Jin Castle in Tongho. As it is a peaceful place for both the Wulin and the Imperial family to attend, the number of escorts apart from the heads of each faction shouldn’t exceed 100, and during the ceremony...”

As they read the contents, the leader’s expression turned strange.

All the three largest factions would probably feel the same way about the treaty.

‘The moment the treaty comes to an end, war will start.’

So, once the meeting came to an end, the leaders tried to prepare for an emergency situation and mobilized the elite warriors from North Justice Blades, the best armed groups in the entirety of Yulin.

But, with the content of the emperor’s message, their plan was blocked.

‘Only one group can be sent.’

Of course, that didn’t mean that it was the only way.

Representatives of each faction could enter without any restrictions.

For example, if the representative of a third clan from Yulin was present there, they might have an edge over the other factions in terms of power.

And such a thing would only happen for the Forces of Justice because it was formed by various clans.

‘I know very well who came up with those thoughts. Huhuhu’

A smile crept across the lips of 3rd leader Nam Gung-kyong, who was bowing his head.

The current Lord of the Demonic Cult, Chun Yeowun, was still residing in the Imperial palace.

Even so, when the alliance gets broken up, the Lord of the Demonic Cult was in the middle of the Yulin’s realm.

There were already people of the North Justice Blade of Yeon Buso around the palace.

Whenever the Lord of Demonic Cult came out, they would be ready to hit him.

‘This is no use. Lord of the Demonic Cult, no matter what you do to move His Majesty, you will not be able to come out of Tongho alive.’

There were more than a hundred small and medium sized factions which had the same thoughts as the Extremists.

Moreover, in case of any emergency, they had already hidden their men everywhere in Tongho, which meant that, in case of an emergency, the Yulin had enough warriors on their side.

‘On the other hand, the Lord of the Demonic Cult’s troops are stranded south of Yellow River.’

Before announcing the break in the alliance, the seven clans of Yulin and six clans from the Hubei region, as well as the disciples of clans which were at the borders of the Yellow River, were prepared to block the forces of the Demonic Cult who would try to advance to the north of the festival.
