NOVEL NEXT Chapter 567: It's My Turn to Perform!
The young member of the Ghost Clan was Su Chen's No. 2 Spy planted within the Ghost Clan. Since successfully deceiving the deities the last time, Spy No. 2 had been groomed as a key figure for the future, earning a high-ranking position within the Ghost Clan.
Spy No. 2 had long awaited this particular assembly.
The plan to surrender themselves as bait was his very proposal.
The Ghost Clan was numerous in members, and they boasted many experts. If the high-ranking members of the Ghost Clan realized there was no chance left to fight, they might abandon the ordinary members of their clan and flee Yan Yun Star.
This was something Su Chen would never allow!
For this reason, Spy No. 2 had crafted this self-surrender plan, intending to lure the elites of the Ghost Clan right to him.
Truth be told, among the three spies, Spy No. 1 had always been the most outstanding, while Spies No. 2 and 3 had always paled in comparison. Now, with Spy No. 1 not having any standout moments this time around, Spy No. 2 realized his chance had come.
This plan was designed to establish his presence in front of the Commander. To his elation, the Commander had approved of his plan.
All he had to do now was lead these powerful members of the Ghost Clan to a designated location, and his mission would be complete.
"I must not disappoint the Commander this time. It's my turn to shine!" A slight smirk formed on the lips of Spy No. 2.
That night, about thirty or so elite members of the Ghost Clan assembled. They planned a nocturnal assault. From a human traitor, they had gleaned the location of the Restoration Army leader, Prince Hewlett. The human alliance leader, Marshal Marshal, was also there, though unfortunately, they couldn't locate the Emperor of the Red Alert Empire.
Even this much was sufficient. If they could kill both leaders in one strike, humans might plunge into infighting – a tendency the Ghost Clan knew all too well.
"Yi Jiao, this mission rests on your shoulders. If necessary, you can return alone," whispered the Ninth-level Peak Ghost Master into Spy No. 2's ear. He valued Spy No. 2 highly. 'Yi Jiao' was the alias used by Spy No. 2 within the Ghost Clan.
After all, having sought the gods' favor once, Spy No. 2, with their assistance, had made rapid progress that hadn't gone unnoticed. The Ghost Master would naturally not let go of such a promising member of the Ghost Clan.
As for the other powerful members of the Ghost Clan, most had reached their potential. If they were to die, they had to ensure it was meaningful.
"Let's move!"
Under Spy No. 2's lead, the group silently left under the cover of night.
"Yi Jiao, if this mission succeeds, you'll definitely be a hero of the Ghost Clan. Don't forget me then," whispered a Ghost Clan member close to Spy No. 2.
"Don't worry, brother. What's our bond? I'll surely surprise you later," Spy No. 2 replied nonchalantly.
To him, these Ghost Clan members were as good as dead. He was just making empty promises now.
"Thanks, young brother," the Ghost Clan member responded with a hearty laugh.
It wasn't just him. Other elite Ghost Clan members tried to build a rapport with Spy No. 2. Only a few ninth-tier Ghost Clan members, prideful of their status, refrained. However, they treated Spy No. 2 with respect, seeing him as one of their own.
The eighth-tier elites moved swiftly and, deep into the night, they arrived at the outskirts of a city.
"Based on our intel, both Prince Hewlett and Guard Marshal are inside. If we take them out, the humans will surely be thrown into chaos," Spy No. 2 pointed ahead and declared.
