Chapter 340 - 340: You Should Be Glad

All of them were dressed in their battle gear, prepared for the upcoming battle. Only Cassius and Uzuki were the exception who didn’t have battle gear.

Vega and Drak were left behind this time. They were to provide technical support from the APF base like jamming the communication of the Capital City, keeping an eye on Zeiss, and other tactical tasks.

A few APF members were also standing there. They had switched sides, and Veracity had verified their words as well. They were actually going to be loyal.

Lucifer, Caen, Kellian, and the APF members stepped inside the first helicopter. Even Cassius and Alicia sat in the leading helicopter.

They were still unseen, and they didn’t have a criminal record like the Uprising Members, so it was safe to take them.

...

About fifteen helicopters flew towards the North in the direction of the Capital City. Sitting in the leading helicopter were Lucifer, Kellian, Caen, Alicia, Uzuki, and four APF members that were selected amongst the ones that had agreed to switch sides.

None of them were talking amongst themselves. Alicia seemed to be looking outside. As for Cassius, he appeared to be observing the blade of his sword, wondering how much blood was going to be shed from his sword in the upcoming days.

Kellian was sitting calmly with his eyes closed. As for Caen, he was dressed in the clothes that Varant used to wear, prepared to impersonate him.

Lucifer, on the other hand, seemed to be immersed in reading. He wasn’t planning about the coming war in the Capital City or anything else.

Instead, he was trying to read all the information that was given to him by Vega regarding the Divine Empire and the Warlock Council.

Both these places were of grave importance to him as they were the places that had the stones he needed.

He was going through the stack of papers, reading as much as he could. Even though there were many papers, he felt like it was the right time as the journey was going to be long as well.

"Milena Sephene... Intriguing..."

He glanced at the picture of Milena briefly before putting it in the back and moved to read about her strongest commanders that helped her.

Even though it took an hour, he finished reading all the information regarding the Divine Empire before he shifted to the information about the Warlock Council.

Unlike the Divine Empire, Vega had managed to collect a lot more information about the Warlock Council since it was much more easily accessible.

Not only was the Warlock Council vast, but it also had many branches.

Also, it was a proud organization that didn’t bother keeping many secrets, unlike the Divine Empire.

" It’s much bigger than I expected. The number of Warlocks they have is just..."

"They have a lot, don’t they? Since they cover an entire continent unlike a nation, that’s not shocking," Uzuki told Lucifer, smirking. "You should be glad they don’t have much presence in this continent. Otherwise, you might be in trouble."

Lucifer kept his silence and didn’t reply. He continued reading.

More time passed. After five more hours, he was finally done with reading all the information. Being done, he placed the stack of paper on the side and looked out the window

It was still somewhat dark outside as there was still some time to sunrise. They had covered most of the way.

"We’ll soon be in the airspace of Sunny City. From there, it’ll only take one more hour before we get to the Capital City," Kellian commented, looking at his clock as he gave an update to Lucifer.

"One more hour, huh. Caen, it’s time for you to change. Get ready since you’ll have the most important role to play," Lucifer told Caen, glancing at him.

Nodding, Caen got to the job as he started changing.

His body started getting slightly taller while his face became slightly wider. His eyes also started changing, becoming darker than they previously were.

As for his hairs, they started getting smaller while changing color.

Within a minute, the process was completed.

"How do I look?" Caen inquired, finishing the transformation.

"You look like Varant. Now you just need to bring that dominance and arrogance in your voice. Under no circumstances should anyone be suspicious of our intentions," Lucifer reminded Caen, who was sitting in a proper coat and pants that Varant usually wore unless he was going on a war.

This was to show that they were here for a meeting and not for a battle. This was also the subtle trick to make everything seem normal.

Through the APF base, they had sent a message to the Government that Varant wanted to meet the President about the deteriorating situation because of the Uprising.

It was a plan Lucifer only came up with after he realized that Caen was alive. It would have been impossible without Caen’s presence, and they would have to take some strict measures in the case.

He expected the government to agree to the request since it was from Varant. And they agreed. Unfortunately, they only gave permission to Varant and his three close teammates.

He could certainly bring more, but only Varant, Riali, and Rowen could go in without any checking. That was where the problem existed.

"Alright. We’re soon going to be there. It’s time for you all to land and wait for our further commands," Kellian said in his earpiece after some time as he realized that they were soon going to be near the Capital City.

They couldn’t take fifteen helicopters for a meeting without raising suspicions, so most of them were to stay out of sight until the main team took care of the situation.

The other helicopters separated from the first one and started going down before they ultimately landed in a barren place, waiting for the further commands to attack.

Soon, only one helicopter could be seen flying, and it was the one that was carrying Lucifer.

The distance between Capital City and Lucifer kept decreasing with each passing second, but the sound of thunder cracking could also be heard soon.

"Are you doing it?" Kellian asked, wondering if it was Lucifer’s doing since whenever clouds came with such intensity, it was always his work.

"It’s not me this time. These should be natural ones," Lucifer replied, standing up.

He walked over to the doors of the helicopter and opened them to look ahead.

He could see a city in the distance, which was covered by dark clouds. Blue lighting was flashing in the sky, making it seem like it was soon going to rain and drench the entire city.

"I guess it’s not half bad. We can use this rain as well," he said, smiling.
