Chapter 318: They Took The Bait
[Two hours Later.]
[Command Room.]
After the issue with the Survivors' whereabouts have been cleared, everyone gathered back in the Command Room, their gazes fixed on Leo.
"Ok guys, We lost a total of 16,076 fighters today, and 25,679 are injured, these guys won't be able to partake in any battle..."
He sighed deeply.
"So many people died! Because we were careless... The Monsters and infested dug a tunnel to the base without us even knowing about it... Well... It's all behind us. Nora, and Potentate got some information to share with us."
Leo nodded at Nora, who stood up, and climbed the stage, while Leo walked back to his seat.

"Ahem!"
She cleared her throat, and started.
"The Second Commandment, known as Blood Princess said we should meet them in the wilderness... She also said that's where the fate of our world will be decided."
"What if we refuse? These might be their plan to finish the Base off, The Wilderness is hours ride from here... What'll happen if we get there and their army attack the Base?! What then?"
General Nicolas asked.
Nora smiled, and answered:
"That's our thought, what if they're just tricking us again? So we came to this idea, some of our strongest will head to the wilderness to meet them, and the rest will stay back... They'll send an SOS if the Monsters attack the Base while we're gone."
'Hmm... She already thought of everything.'
Supreme thought, relaxing on his seat.
"What if Supreme takes everyone in his world again? That way we don't need to leave anyone behind... And it also seems there isn't a time limit to stay there."
Chen suggested, turning his head to Supreme who sat behind him.
Everyone was silent, thinking about his word, then Leo opened his mouth.
"That's a good idea. But... If something happened to Supreme, All the people will be lost..."
He turned to Supreme:
"It's not that I'm doubting your Capabilities, Supreme, It's just... The stats are just too high."
Supreme nodded at him. "I understand, and I don't think it would be wise if I place them there again, a situation might come up that I'll need to use the skill, and fighting in there with the people will be dangerous... Nora's plan has a high chance of succeeding, So I'll leave some of my Soul Soldiers, and Elders behind."
"But?!"
The elders were stunned hearing Supreme, before they could disagree, he interrupted them.
"Our mission is to protect Leo and The Base, You guys will protect the Base, while We'll protect Leo."
"What made you think I'll follow, Supreme?" Leo asked, staring at him.
"It's in your blood." Supreme gave a simple reply, while Leo smiled.
"OK!"
Nora nodded, and continued:
"She said tomorrow, time; 1200... Potentate already wrote down the names of those who are eligible, and will be going with us to the wilderness... You can refuse if you don't plan on going."
Potentate stood up, and walked towards her, standing on the stage. She moved her gaze around everyone present, and started.
"These are the names. (1) Leo. (2) Supreme. (3) Mrs Sham. (4) Queen-of-death. (5) Chen. (6) Miss Scarlett. (7) Blood-Arrow. (8) Red-Encounter. (9) Mr Suden. (10) Miss Vanilla. (11) Prince-Of-Casmia. (12) Zuko. And (13) Spectra."
She closed the book, and smiled at them.
"Wait! What about you?!"
Chen stood up.
"I and the Kings are going, there's no need putting our names on it." Potentate said, her smile still on her face.
"Oh."
Chen sat back down in relief.
"What do you think, Supreme?"
Potentate raised her head to Supreme, her gaze fixed on him... She started suspecting Supreme of being the Ruler of the Abyssal after seeing his skill... She went further and asked all the people what they saw while in there...
They gave her only one reply.
"We saw Nothing, Only darkness... We were surrounded by nothing but darkness."
Their words piqued her interest, Only three gods are proficient with darkness... One; the main god of darkness and shadow, Lord Erebus. Second; The god of the Abyssal, Lord Tartarus. Third;...
She has no idea, but knew there's a third god who's also proficient in darkness control.
'Supreme can't be this unknown god... Because Lord Havoc said he's here to greet his Lord... It only means that... Supreme is Lord Havoc's Lord, and the next Ruler of the Abyssal.' She thought, staring at Supreme.
Supreme smiled; "It's a good plan, although a lot of my elders want to come along... I think it's good this way."
'So she's suspecting I'm the next Ruler? But her encounter with Havoc caught me off-guard... This goddess surely knows a lot.' He thought.
"Brother, I want to go with you." Dark-Angel announced.
"No Mira, You and Maria will stay in the Base, don't worry, Borne, and his brothers will stay with you, If you see anything out of place, just let me know."
He smiled at her, then turned his head to Crusher and his brothers, who nodded at him.
Dark-Angel heaved a sigh, and nodded.
"Don't be down, Mira. When we get back I'll take you and Maria out to have fun." Blood-Arrow said with a smile.
"Bestie said the same thing, Yay! Girls time!"
Mira said with a blissful expression, forgetting she was sad some seconds ago.
"Yes, Can't wait." Maria added with a smile.

[A-City.]
At the center of A-city, Hundreds of Ghouls stood around a huge white mansion, slowly moving their gazes around.
Blood Princess walked past them, heading to the entrance of the Mansion.
Squeak!
She came to a stop, seeing Apate, Hemsal, and the Commandment of Plague, walking outside.
**Commander Sara.**
She quickly got down on one knee, bowing her head.
Apate stared at the kneeling Blood Princess for some seconds then asked:
**How did it go?**
**They took the bait, Commander.** Blood Princess answered, her head still bowed.
Apate smiled brightly.
**Good, We'll kill them all in the Wilderness, then turn that base Leo is so proud of into sand and dust... No one will be able to save them now, Not even Supreme.**
