Chapter 371 Grouped

"W-what?"

"You want to kill their contractors then invite the Celestials?"

"Ugh… Is this alright? I doubt that they will willingly join us… Are you confident you can provide several potions at once?"

"Isn't this quite evil? I didn't expect that you'd think of this crazy plan just to strengthen your forces."

The Celestials' reactions were within Vincent's expectations. After all, this plan indeed sounds very cruel since he got this idea from an evil person, Joran.

That man who caused trouble in his peaceful village.

At that time, he killed Kai outside their village and invited doom to their place. There was no way he would forget that event.

Nevertheless, after Joran killed Kai, the latter's unnumbered Celestial Being started working for him.

Vincent had seen Joran a few times with that spear-wielding Celestial so he already knows that killing the contracted Mana Practitioners would work in his favor.

It is just a question of morality so Vincent wasn't really fond of this idea before. However, he can't just hide right now after building this city. He would really die if he didn't do something about it.

He doesn't want this city to be destroyed after sacrificing so much. He wanted to defend this newly built city at all costs!

The only method that he could think of is to increase his combat force. One method to do this is to create more Awakened Items or top-quality materials and drugs for his Knight and Magicians' battalion.

The other method is to use external force to aid them. Aside from Celestial Beings, he couldn't think of anyone else that could help him in his situation.

"I know that this method is quite cruel but there are no other options. If we want to stand our ground and hold off the forces of the Black Magic Organization. We have to do this. In any case, we should have several more months before they would even think of attacking this city again. They lost several warships and Celestial Beings so I'm sure that they won't act again without gathering a larger force. In addition to that, they still needed to stabilize the overall situation of the land if they don't want to be backstabbed while attacking us." Vincent explained.

Since not all the Tower Masters agreed to join the Black Magic Organization, the territory was basically split into three divisions because of this. The first division is this new organization. The second one is the remnants of the Black Tower Organization, and the third division is composed of several organizations that are not part of the two. They could be the Alchemist Union, the Hunter's Organization, Vincent's Vera City, Lola's Nidite City, and other small groups that had decided to live outside the influence or barrier range of the towers.

The third division wasn't a big problem for the Black Magic Organization. They know that these small groups can't start a fight since they didn't have a large military in the first place. It is only the remnants of the Black Tower that might pose a huge threat to them in terms of war capabilities.

With all these scattered forces, it would make sense that the new organization has a lot of matters they needed to attend to before they could focus on Vera City. Furthermore, this city is far from the central part of the territory close to the eastern border so it's difficult to mobilize their forces here if they want to siege them again.

Haaa~

Luna sighed after thinking for a while. She knows that Vincent's suggestion is really good. It would maximize their advantage of having special potions capable of providing Celestial Energy. She knows that once they killed their contracted Mana Practitioners, these Celestials would have no choice but to join them if they don't want to hibernate in their Cryogenic Sleep Chamber.

Of course, they wouldn't really go around finding these people and killing them on sight… They would still have to negotiate like a civilized person since these Practitioners might give up their Celestial Being if they do so… Only when the negotiation didn't bear any fruit would they think of doing the extreme as Vincent instructed.

'I wonder what he's thinking…'

Luna looked at Vincent for a while before she glanced at the other Celestial Beings…

With their current strength, handling Unnumbered ones would be a piece of cake while three digits would require two or three Celestials working together.

If they have to deal with two digits that had recovered their Celestial Energy by more than 50%, Luna must be involved with it with the help of two more Celestials.

If Luna isn't involved, all the seven Celestials must work together to handle a two-digit Celestial.

Of course, this will only happen if the contracted practitioner refused to give up their celestial and decided to order his Celestial to fight instead. Although their main focus was to eliminate their contracted practitioner, they would still have to prepare themselves to fight against their fellow Celestial.

"I don't mind doing it…" Tara suddenly said as she already knows what the others are thinking.

"I have no problems with it. Should we group ourselves into four? Maybe two?" Rem added.

After hearing their approving response, Vincent smiled as he decided to flesh out the details of his plan.

He wanted to form three groups for this.

The first group would be led by Luna with Rem.

The second group would be led by Tara and the two unnamed Unnumbered Celestials.

The last group would be led by Number 778 together with Numbers 815 and 833.

Their distribution may seem unbalanced since Tara is only Number 999 and is considered to be the weakest Numbered Celestial.

However, she's also the one with the most Celestial Energy right now and she also has several high-end pieces of equipment that came from Vincent. This doesn't include the Transcended Celestial Armor and Blade!

That's right, Vincent used his Transcendence skills on her items and it gave her additional skills. Of course, he used them with Luna and Rem's items as well but the random item skills that Tara's weapon received were several times better than the one they got.

This is also the reason why Vincent was confident with Tara's ability to lead a group.

Lastly, Vincent was able to tell that Tara is a special Numbered Celestial…
