Chapter 404: The King and Azaroth's Plans

The high-ranking Angel with Dylan Ross was truly quite unlucky. She was severely injured, and there was no large cathedral within the Glerian Kingdom.

The Royal Family never allowed a large cathedral to exist. It could be used to gather a large quantity of faith energy for the Celestials. However, since the humans in the nearby area were demolishing it repeatedly, the Celestials gave up on this kingdom.

Their respected influences had already been stretched as they were. If they tried to include the Glerian Kingdom, they would miss another rich territory with a large population.

When the angel heard that Dylan had a chance to travel to the Lamhilhan Theocracy, she was greatly excited. If she reached the Lamhilhan Theocracy and then had Dylan Ross enter the Cathedral, she could contact her fellow angels and use the Holy Ardor to heal herself.

Dylan had no reason to refuse since the angel agreed with this idea. He spoke to Camille, "I will help you restore your family's honor within the Lamhilhan Theocracy. No one will be able to abduct you and escape like this."

"Mm-hmm," Camille responded with a bright smile, "Let's return now. I feel weird while staying in this place. Feels like I am still kidnapped."

"Yeah, sure," Dylan Ross suddenly picked her up and carried her to his camp in his arms. It was quite a romantic moment for the two as the two stared into each other's eyes.

This scene was witnessed by Sargan, who stood quite some distance away from them. He had noticed that Dylan Ross wasn't trying to pursue him and had returned to check up on the two.

He asked Azaroth with an amazed tone, "How did you know that Dylan was coming, master?"

Azaroth responded casually, "It's elementary, Sargan. You must always be prepared for the worst possibilities. And believe me, there are possibilities worse than these."

Sargan didn't exactly understand what Azaroth meant, but he responded respectfully, "…Alright, boss."

He further asked Azaroth, "But what should I do now?"

Azaroth spoke up almost immediately, "They are going to move to the Lamhilhan Theocracy. That means you have a chance to do something major."

"Hmm? What will it be, master?" Sargan asked, wondering what Azaroth was talking about.

"While Dylan and his entire group are here, figure out his connections. When he has departed for the Lamhilhan Theocracy, we will kidnap them and use them to strike a deal with him," Azaroth spoke with a smile.

Sargan raised his brow at that plan and asked, "Wouldn't it be better for us to kill him?"

Azaroth shook his head and spoke, "The King is heavily monitoring this man named Dylan. If we try to kill him, the King will eventually find out about us. I don't want him to be aware of your presence and our connection."

"Most importantly, Dylan will become a big figure in the Lamhilhan Theocracy. That's pretty much guaranteed because of the angel accompanying him. It will save us a whole lot of effort and time. All we need to do is gain some methods to manipulate this man," Azaroth finished speaking.

He took a deep breath and began speaking, "Dylan is bound to have a few mistresses in the Glerian Kingdom. You must capture them all while he is gone. Leave the rest to me."

Sargan still had a doubt in his mind, "What if that man decides to give up on them all? After acquiring that great power and prestige in Lamhilhan Theocracy, he is bound to have even more lovers. Would he even care about his women here in the Glerian Kingdom?"

"…He will, Sargan. He definitely will," Azaroth spoke with a confident tone.

This Dylan Ross possessed the luck and fate of a protagonist in a story. Thus, he was bound to be greatly sentimental. He would never be able to see the death of his woman. No matter how much that woman hated him.

Moreover, even if what Sargan spoke turned out to be true. Azaroth had another method to make him listen to his orders.

The one who was most closely connected to Dylan Ross was none other than that Angel. Azaroth was quite confident in his ability to control that angel if he ever met her.

His Celestial Blood would guarantee that. The Celestials were extremely strict and particular about their hierarchy, unlike the humans. A Celestial had to follow the orders received from a Higher-Ranking Celestial.

Thus, Azaroth could easily order the angel accompanying Dylan. The order could range to anything.

Dylan would be unable to do a single thing to help the angel. Azaroth would give him a choice. Whether he would order the angel to do something dangerous and life-threatening, or Dylan should follow his orders.

Dylan would never be able to disobey him when the life of the angel accompanying him for so long was concerned.

Azaroth's plan and the King's plan were quite similar. But their approaches were completely different.

The King wanted to control Dylan through love. Camille would eventually make love with him, and Dylan would seriously listen to anything she spoke.

Even after becoming a huge personality in Lamhilhan Theocracy, he would always listen to her. This was what the King hoped for.

Meanwhile, Azaroth wanted to control Dylan through fear. All his other women would be in his hands, and Dylan could only follow his orders, or else they would face death or a fate worse than death.

Sargan didn't ask any further questions and walked towards Dylan's camp. He was planning to investigate him a bit more closely.

Azaroth was still monitoring the area. He suddenly spoke, "Stop. That's as far as you can go. That Angel's Spiritual Sense is spreading ahead of you. Just take a deep breath and compress your energy as greatly as possible. Make her think that you are merely a small beast that she should ignore."

Sargan nodded and began to suppress his Ardor as much as possible. However, Azaroth wasn't satisfied with the pace. He knew that Sargan would be found out soon enough if this continued.

"Let me give you a hand. Remember this feeling from now on," Azaroth spoke as his energy suddenly entered Sargan's body.

He suppressed Sargan's Ardor from all sides and placed it in his feet.

Sargan was quite surprised as he felt his Ardor getting compressed. He didn't feel any oppressive power from Azaroth's Ardor. It had gently suppressed his Ardor.

He firmly remembered that feeling as he understood that he didn't have to blindly concentrate like that to suppress his Ardor.

The Angel's Spiritual Sense soon passed over Sargan's body, and just as Azaroth had expected, she didn't suspect him.

After all, this was a forest. There were bound to be many kinds of harmless beasts. She couldn't deeply investigate every small beast that she sensed, right?

Azaroth then spoke out, "Call out for me when you require my assistance. However, try to maintain your distance for now. Camille and Dylan are going to plan how they should enter the Lamhilhan Theocracy for the next few days. So, your task would be to capture a team of Dylan's subordinates and find out about his other lovers."

"Make sure to remember that the team you abduct is one of the strongest teams under Dylan. Otherwise, you won't gain any useful information," Azaroth advised before cutting off the connection.
