Chapter 1877 Departure
Morgany has never felt more focused than now. They finally got the bloodline the second key was under. And wouldn't you know it, he was royalty…. Tenola Royalty. But so what? What they want is what they'll get. 2 hours later, the leader of the Sacred Order thoughtfully drummed his fingers along his thighs. "We leave in 2 nights." Obiwan nodded, "And when will you all be back?" "2 months… 2 months is all we need." Hearing the Sacred leader's words, Obiwan then reached to open one of his drawers, taking out a well sealed envelope with a crimson stamp on it. Delivering such a letter was beneath the Scared Order, but since it was instructed by the organization, it must be done.
"For Lord Whitefield Fogger." "One of ours?"
Obiwan shook his head, "Not yet." The letter was more or less like enticement to have Lord Fogger join their Organization. In exchange, they will honor any one true wish he has. Obiwan chuckled cruelly. They have had an eye on Fogger for many years now, but didn't want to go to him yet.
It's a fact that humans were more radical in their hours of need. Believe it or not, now was that time for Lord Fogger. And who better to appear as a savior to him now if not then?
(^_^)
Of course, the TOEP was the greatest Organization in Hertfilia, and didn't need to result in any tricks. But since all humans were inherently different, some people didn't need the enticement, while others did. People like Whitefield Fogger needed that true enticement in his darkness hour. The promise of fulfilling any wish he wanted was the perfect chance for revenge. They have watched him for a while now, and even seen him grip the sharp ends of a blade underneath his sleeve to restrain himself from attacking his enemy, who was always around him.
Revenge… What Fogger desperately wanted was revenge. And what comes after revenge? true power. After getting a taste and seeing how fast the TOEP accomplishes a task he deemed hard to do, he will definitely want to become like them. .
Power! He will want his men to train in Morgany and become swift like them. He will want to access to Morgany' supreme information network. He will want to become a true elite force here in Tenola's Laboon Empire, and he would also want to become untouchable, since Morgany will always have his back. Power, wealth, women, you name it. The TOEP will open doors for him he never knew existed. "Consider it done." Putting the sealed letter seat, the leader slowly took to his feet. "Excellent, I will await your return." In at most 2 months, the mission should be completed. Obiwan already believed it would be so. The journey to Richmond town was 3 weeks. 3 weeks to go and 3 weeks to return, that was already 1 month, 2 weeks. Then add an additional 2 weeks for the mission and you've got 2 months. Remember, he estimated that it would be at most 2 months, but with how powerful the Sacred Order was, he even felt they might only take 3 days to capture the 2nd Key after arriving at Richmond town. Again, the journey of 3 weeks to Richmond town was if they were traveling at a steady pace on horseback. Messengers who travel nonstop, staying up most of the night and only sleeping for 4 hours at most, typically take 2 weeks, 2 days to reach Richmond town. The weather was now hit and sunny, with no blockages from winter around. The paths were clearer, and the forest's now greener and lusher. From all indications, the group might return before the 2 month period elapsed. 2 months was just the maximum time frame they chose to return here. And if by then, they do not return and Obiwan does not receive any secret notes talking about a delay, then he would have to move into Phase 2, as ordered by the organization. Indeed, the Sacred Order were the front soldiers in this mission. While he, on the other hand, had to prepare a team for immediate assistance if things don't go as planned. .
Tsk. Obiwan chuckled, feeling it was impossible for the Sacred Order to be late. The Sacred Order was one of the few orders within the organization that answers directly to the men at the top. They were trained differently and used skills far superior to any of them within the TOEP. One can say the best things were given to them, making them the best cleanup team to eradicate any rogue members, as well as to handle important missions that are ranked at the highest grade, such as these.
So with everything he has learnt about this elusive Sacred Order, how can it be possible that a mere Key, who was a Tenolian Prince, would be able to evade their pursuit?
Impossible! Even the Tenolian Monarch himself would suffer in their hands. With the conversation over, the Sacred Order and its leader were then escorted to their sleeping quarters to rest and eat to their fill during the 2 days of stay here. As for Obiwan, he quickly assigned a few to make sure the strongest horses were in tiptop shape for their departure. The stables were nowhere close to this hideout, but were at a noble's home. The noble was one of theirs. Word has to be sent so that on the 2nd day prior to their leaving, the horses could be brought over.
That was the number of Sacred Order men, including their leader who arrived. In truth, Obiwan felt that only a handful of them was enough to snatch the Key away. But perhaps this matter was of highest importance, the organization sent 101 of them to guarantee that the job would be done no matter what drawbacks arise. ....
Time, time, time… Time was never a luxury man could control. And before anyone knew it, the 2nd day arrived. The Sacred Order got their horses, food, and other hidden items to assist in their cause, preparing for departure in the dead of night during curfew hours.
Like ghosts, no one saw them when they arrived the City, and now one would see them when leaving.
However.... they weren't the only ones preparing for a departure…
