Gacha Sovereign 363 Gamble

"It is from Njomo."

"Oh!" Alex was astonished when he heard that. He never expected Njomo to bring him the news at this particular time. In fact, this news made him frown. After all, this news could swing to the bad way and the good way.

Seeing Alex frown, Anna only smiled, "Don't worry, this should be good news for us."

"Good news?"

"Yeah. Njomo said the Rainbow Flower Sect is coming toward Heavenly Sword Sect to aid us. They are coming with twenty thousand disciples." Anna said.

Alex's eyes widened. He remembered that he had blatantly denied their possibility. But it seemed the other side still tried to approach him. However, he felt something wrong.

"Why did they decide to move? Did they know about the Zhou Kingdom and Thiveapia Kingdom?" Alex asked.

"Njomo said no. After knowing Heavenly Sword Sect was under attack, that Letizia immediately persuaded the sect master and the elders. Njomo did not know how she could persuade them, but it seems she managed to persuade them." Anna said.

"She should be aware that we are getting attacked by four influences, right? Is she a fool?" Alex grunted.

"You should not say that. She must use a great effort to persuade them despite knowing our situation." Anna smiled gently.

Alex frowned. What they did not know was Letizia only used one name which was 'Death Forest' to persuade them. Although she could not say anything more, with just that name, along with Letizia's obsession with Alex, they could predict what kind of event that happened inside.

They also remembered that Letizia brought two Heaven Tier Ice Element Martial Arts to the sect after that place. This was the only way to persuade them. And with the elders thinking about the inheritance of a Martial Emperor, they thought Heavenly Sword Sect would be able to defend the attack from four influences.

If they helped them at a time like this, it would show how sincere they are. Of course, they decided to help the Heavenly Sword Sect to a certain degree, and if the situation started turning to bad, they would pull back.

But, it was different for Alex and Anna. They did not know what she was thinking. Anna said, "Anya told me that she might only use this chance to make you owe them a favor. After all, Letizia met you inside that white building in Zwaka's place."

"..." Alex looked down, weighing something in his mind.

"What are you going to do, Alex?" Anna asked.

"Hmm… Even if they tried to help us, they would only meet Mount Hua Sect. As for trying to make me owe them a favor… It is true that she helps us, but it will depend on their actions too. If they started acting like those greedy people from the Southern Kingdom, even if they help us, I will still kill them.

"I don't mind giving one or two rank 5 weapons since Zwaka's gave me many of them. I can just give them ax or something since I don't have a use for them. You can say... They know when the right time to do something like this… well, it is a sort of gamble for them too and just say they win this gamble." Alex said casually.

"Well, we won't encounter them for a while since we are going to finish our business with the entire Southern Kingdom," Anna said with a smile. But that smile dark as Alex could feel a trace of hatred in that smile.

Alex understood why she was mad about this Southern Kingdom. He just thought about stopping the Zhou Kingdom because of their grudge. At the same time, he would help his senior sister and her kingdom.

At first, Putri told him how grateful they were to him. However, he never knew about Mega's scheme, involving Putri, Intan, and Eric. Sadly, human's greed knows no bounds. They literally were asking for death.

Luckily, they underestimated him because he was a Martial Grandmaster at that time. They did not pick strong people because his power was still low. Well, at that time, their power was too strong for him. If he did not have Anna, Leoz, and the others, he would die already.

And from Ngina's report, it seemed most of the ministers did not want to attack him. So, Alex decided to spare their kingdom after killing all the people involved in this war. He would trust Nelson for that later.

"We will ignore them for the time being and focus on our opponent. The timing is right, so we will leave the sect tomorrow." Alex said.

According to Noah, if they came toward them tomorrow, they would meet a good battlefield where Alex and the others could utilize their skill to the maximum. That place also had a perfect distance from any nearby cities or towns.

"Understood." Anna nodded her head before leaving him alone.

But before she managed to do that, Anya suddenly came to his room.

"Alex, Nelson said he had finished his task. You can summon him anytime." She said.

"Alright. Thank you. We are going tomorrow, and maybe we will start the fight the day after." Alex nodded.

"Yeah. I already told him so." Anya looked at Anna and Alex on the bed, and got jealous a bit. "Since Anna is here too, how about we enjoy this night together? I mean, you will get to do twin sisters for a whole night, Don't you-!"

When she was talking excitedly, Alex disappeared from his bed. Suddenly, she felt Alex's presence behind her back, thinking Alex wanted to push her down together with Anna. Never in her thought, Alex suddenly raised her up and threw her away outside.

"Eh?!" The moment she realized that, Alex had closed the door.

"Wait, Alex? I am just kidding. Can you let me in again? I promise I won't do anything. I just want to stay for a while." Anna said from the other side of the door.

When Alex and Anna heard that, they looked at each other.

"Alex… Do you hate her?" Anna asked.

"No. In fact, I quite like her. It just… I have not sorted my feelings about her yet. Unlike you, we still have not got together for a while. Personality aside, she is a beauty, in fact, if you or her show yourself in front of everyone in the continent, you two will easily become the prettiest women in this continent. But it doesn't feel right for me. What I want is love, not love."

"Well… unlike me, she is going outside so she could help you. Because of that, she does not have that much time to spend with you. While I stay inside this house as far as I remember."

"I know that. I really know that. She has been working hard just to catch up with me. However, I just feel it is not right. It just, If I accept her just like that, I feel I just love her because of you or any other circumstances. You also don't want it to be that way, right?"

"Yes." Anna closed her eyes.

"It might not be the same, but just like the Elven Queen in the lower world, or maybe Letizia. If I suddenly accept them, would you accept that?"

"No."

"I am sorry if I hurt you since you are her twin sister, but I still need time to sort out my feelings."

"It is alright, I understand," Anna said while hugging him from behind.

"I need a bit more time, alright?"

"Mmm."

…

The next day,

Alex went to Charya's house first to inform her.

"Elder Charya…"

"You are going right now?" Charya asked. She was a bit worried to see Alex go alone to stop the Southern Kingdom. If it were a normal person, they would think Alex just made an excuse so he could flee from the sect. After all, even if he left the sect, no one knew where Alex would go.

Sadly, she knew Alex had no reason to do so since he could just stay here and relax while the enemies would not be able to penetrate a rank 6 barrier. If not, they might be able to penetrate Zwaka's barrier instead of waiting for it to open.

"Yes." Alex nodded. "I have dealt with the Thiveapia Kingdom and the Zhou Kingdom. So, Heavenly Sword Sect only needs to deal with Mount Hua Sect while I deal with the Southern Kingdom."

Charya nodded. "But, are you sure you can do this? Maybe we can spare some elders and disciples to help you."

Alex shook his head. "I have 'friends.' A lot of friends, and you don't need to worry about us."

Charya looked at him for a while before nodding her head. "Alright. Just be careful."

Alex nodded his head before saying, "The Rainbow Flower Sect will come to our aid. Both of you can attack Mount Hua Sect simultaneously."

Charya frowned when she heard that. "Are they…"

"They did not know about Zhou Kingdom's and Thiveapia Kingdom's condition yet. Still, whatever they want to do, don't tell them about me going to fight the Southern Kingdom… In fact, it is also applied to Heavenly Sword Sect. Make sure no one follows me."

"Don't worry, we know. Even the sect master knows what to do. Still, your information network is very fast… don't you?"

"Ahaha…" Alex only shrugged it off with a laugh. "Then, I need to get going. Oh, right. Evelyn is on her way to the sect."

"Alright. With The Rainbow Flower Sect helping us, we should be able to finish the battle faster. If Mount Hua Sect is smart, they would immediately retreat if they know the Thiveapia Kingdom and the Zhou Kingdom won't join the war. We will still try to weaken them as much as possible though."

"I will leave it to you," Alex said and left the house.

He flew toward the south together with his spirits.

…

As Alex predicted, they finally met the army just after the sunset. After knowing Nelson's power, Alex decided to annihilate them tonight. He wanted to make a few arrays first before they started fighting them.

He took out Nelson's card, "We are fighting tonight. Maybe around midnight."

"Understood."

Their battlefield was a huge plain. There was no tree or whatever that Alex could use to hide. So, Alex needed to do some preparations. After all, twenty thousand was not a small number.

"Nelson, how many people do you think you can kill with your True Spirit Body without alarming them?"

"All of them," Nelson said.

"Oh…" Alex was wondering what with this cool guy.

"Of course, it took a bit more time. So, I think, killing all of their Martial Lords along with a few thousand soldiers would be enough to make a mess in their rank. After that, if we play a mind game, we should be able to make them move according to our will." Nelson explained.

Alex frowned. "I see. If possible, I want to make it three hours before creating chaos."

"That's enough to kill all of their Martial Lords since I used my True Spirit Body along with one or two thousand Martial Grandmasters."

Alex contemplated for a while. If he could do that, then it would be nice for him. After that, they could just show those people heads to the rest of the soldiers. They would start panicking.

He wanted to make Jadeite Mirror Array in that situation. The soldiers who knew about it would most likely panic. At that time, his other spirits could make confusion and tell them to go south or whatever.

He then could make traps around that area, chipping their number bit by bit. However, Alex could not make an array in the midst of the enemy. He could make the Jadeite Mirror Array in the Kasmanan Family because he only needed to make the array at the edge of their mansion.

But, with twenty thousand soldiers around, he could not make an array big enough to cover all of them. So, ultimately, he would make an array in the midst of their formation.

Alex was contemplating his plan.
