Chapter 892: Taking the war to them
Just because of that, he had to escape back to his own world. He didn\'t even have enough strength to return to the Border City. It was fine since this wasn\'t a war, but if this was to happen during the battle, it could create a lot of problems.
"After observing the situation and gathering information, I believe there might be a way to overcome the element problem," Karyk responded.
He further explained, "I have taken control of a small city on the outskirts of Elzeira. We can establish a base there. And if we can connect a portal between the city and this world, we might be in a much better position."
"That would allow us to go back and forth between the two worlds safely whenever we are exhausted," he added. Although he couldn\'t solve the problem of spiritual energy, he could make it easier for everyone to recover their strength.
There were many of them. While two of them handled the city, the other two could return. They could take turns recovering without interrupting their plans.
He also had the Purebloods Citizens that he had turned. They were absolutely loyal to him. With their support, he could further enhance their chances. And now, he also had some Royal Undeads of Elzeira with him.
He had a lot of hidden cards that could allow him to at least hold down the border city.
"You managed to control a city in Elzeira?" Aliac asked, slightly surprised. No matter how distant a city was from the Royal Elzeiran Capital, it would\'ve been impossible to take over the city without being discovered.
He didn\'t understand how Karyk was able to do something like that? Did he truly do that without getting discovered? Or could it be that he was discovered and didn\'t know about it? Could the Royal Elzeiran army already be waiting there for them?
He had a lot of questions in his mind as this sounded incredible. Just the possibility of this being successful was extremely low. Even if they weren\'t discovered, their chances were low.
If they went to Elzeira, it meant that was their last stand. If they failed, there wasn\'t going to be anything stopping Elzeirans from entering their world.
Karyk understood what Aliac was worried about. Just for that reason, he told Aliac about the incidents that took place after he entered Elzeira.
He explained how he met the city lord\'s son and helped him. He also talked about the time he entered the city and found that the City Lord was dead and how he was pronounced the new city lord. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
He also explained that the City was almost abandoned. The Royal Palace paid no attention to it as it was right next to the Land of Chaos.
That was the perfect place for them to set up a base, especially as the citizens could provide them cover since he had their complete support.
"This might be the only opportunity you have of successfully stopping the invasion. I\'ll give you time to think about it," Karyk exclaimed before growing silent.
He didn\'t talk anymore. He only occasionally glanced at Ryder who was right before him. Unlike Aliac, Ryder hadn\'t said anything about this place. He neither praised it, nor criticized it.
"What do you think about this?" Aliac asked Ryder. Although this plan was dangerous, but it was also the only viable option they had to save their world from destruction.
Still, he was certain that Ryder was going to reject the plan. Ryder only cared about Earth. He didn\'t care if the rest of the world was destroyed. And if he refused this plan, they could have no other choice but to select a plan for their last stand, which was going to be earth.
If this was the place of their last stand, then they could still win, albeit at the cost of the rest of the universe.
He had already expected Ryder\'s answer, but he still asked.
"I agree." Ryder only said a few words, shocking Aliac.
"You agree?" Aliac asked, wondering if he had misheard something.
"This plan seems decent. If there really is a suitable city like that, I agree." Ryder nodded as he stood up. "You can finalize the necessary details and then inform me when you\'re done."
He left Aliac and the others behind, leaving with his son as if he didn\'t have any more time for them.
He went upstairs, with his son where his family was staying. He knew they might be confused, so he had to explain some things to them as well.
"There are many rooms on the ground floor. You can make yourself at home." His words echoed in the hall as he climbed up.
For the rest of the day, no one saw Ryder anymore. All they saw was that a powerful barrier had appeared that separated the first and second floor. The barrier was more powerful than even the barrier that had protected the mansion.
Aliac had no intention of going upstairs in any case. Since they had reached cooperation, he didn\'t want to cause any misunderstanding.
He helped Karyk and the others find rooms on the ground floor.
Initially, Karyk didn\'t want to stay here but in the end, he gave up and decided to stay here. Earth was the safest place at the moment after all.
Zena and the others also found a room, where Karyk personally cast his own barrier that was no weaker than the barrier Ryder had cast upstairs, protecting his family.
It was only after that, he met Aliac with Gabriel. All three of them discussed the plan and how they had to enter Elzeira.
They couldn\'t directly reach the Border City of Elzeira as there was no portal in that place. The closest portal he could remember was in the territory of Sea King.
