Inhuman Warlock
chapter-517

Other than the Guild Leaders, there were twelve Hunter Union direct members who were here as well.

Kellian shifted his attention to them. "And what is your opinion on it? Do you support begging them, or do you support fighting?"

"Those who support fighting raise their hands."

Seven hands rose from the Hunter Union Members.

"Those who support begging for forgiveness raise their hands!"

Three hands raised this time.

One of the three explained his reasons. "I think that keeping our dignity is impossible, but keeping our lives is more important. What if we fight and lose? Not only will we all die, but the citizens will be at risk too. Surrendering is better for everyone."

"So there are thirty-five of you here," Kellian muttered. "Sixteen support surrender. Nineteen doesn't support it. I think the vote is clear."

"Also, one more thing. I don't think we need people who don't want to fight for their country. So we won't be needing your participation in the war."

Sixteen shadows appeared behind the men who had supported surrender. All the shadows were holding the swords. Seeing the shadows, the Warlocks were shocked. Before they could even realize what was happening, their heads rolled to the ground.

"We don't need cowards." Kellian stood up and started leaving. "I expect the rest to keep their men ready. We would be leaving to the town in an hour."

He left with his team members, leaving gobsmacked men behind. The ones who were alive couldn't believe what had just happened. Some swallowed hard, thinking that they would have been headless if they had supported surrender too.

The Uprising was just as cruel as they heard. Even in the time when they needed people to fight, they didn't hesitate to execute people on the spot.

The ones who were left in the room stood up and went to get their men ready. They didn't want to end up like that.

...

"Did you really need to have the vote? What if they had all voted for surrender?" Tristan asked Kellian, following behind.

"Then thirty-five heads would be lying on the ground instead of sixteen," Kellian answered. "We have no place for cowards in our reigns."

...

Lucifer finished eating and left the restaurant with Salazar and Caen.

They walked back to the Royal City, where seven helicopters were already standing in line.

Pilots were inside all of those helicopters. The Nobles Lords were also standing outside the Palace with Milena.

"You're bringing all of them?" Lucifer asked. He thought Milena would only bring the Nobles he asked for. Why was she bringing them all?

"They're all coming. I think it's time we handle the threat of the Warlock Council. First, we shall destroy the team of the Warlock Council that come to Elisium, and then I'll personally go to Triton to give them a taste of their own medicine," Milena answered grimly.

"So you're preparing for the last war.' Lucifer smirked. "Not bad."

"I'm also leaving the Nobles behind to take care of the Divine Empire in my absence. I'm only bringing Noble Lords. But it's fine. I think the battlefield would be a good place to increase my army," Milena answered.

Lucifer understood what she was implying. She was only taking her strongest Nobles and was going to make more Nobles in the War.

He had a problem with this plan though. He also wanted the powers of the Warlocks. For that, he needed to eradicate them. There was no way that both of them could get what they wanted.

"I have no problem with you turning anyone into a Noble. You can even turn Uprising Members who die since it's good if they can live even after death. But I have one condition," Lucifer stated.

"What Condition?" Milena asked.

"You would need my permission before turning anyone. I can also tell you in advance who you're not allowed to turn. Even if they die, you can't turn them. Is that clear?" Lucifer asked.

Milena didn't like such restrictions on the way she used her power. She wondered why Lucifer was doing that? Was it because he wanted to show that he had control over her?

"Is that because you want to turn into your undead?" Arthur asked, guessing the reason. "You can't do that if she turns them first."

He had seen Lucifer turn Andreas' men into his instead that he could control. It was an easy guess that he also wanted some powerful Warlocks as his undead in that war.

"You can think like that," Lucifer shrugged. He didn't need to explain his reason behind it.

"So you want me to take Warlocks rejected by you as if I'm a dustbin?" Milena asked.

Lucifer smirked. "It's good to see that you're back to your normal self. That fake personality before was annoying. Now get inside. We're leaving."

He walked to the helicopter in the lead with Caen and Salazar. Milena and Arthur also stepped inside the same chopper with Feronia. As for the other Noble Lords, they entered the other helicopters.

The rotors of the helicopters started moving as they rose in the air before flying away.

The Nobles that were left behind watched the helicopters leave. They couldn't help but pray for the success of their queen and her safety. It was only when the helicopter disappeared that they walked inside the Palace.

....

Inside the leading helicopter, Feronia was the most excited about this trip.

She had never left the continent and seen the outside world. She was really curious about those places.

"It's my first time going outside the continent. I wonder what your nation would be like. I only heard about them in the last. Are they really that different compared to our place?"

"Different? I would say they are very different. You'll be amazed when you see the tall buildings and the beautiful cities," Salazar replied, smirking.

"I saw their pictures before." Feronia nodded.

"Pictures are nothing. They look even better from close," Salazar nodded.

"I can't wait."

"We aren't going there for sightseeing. Control yourself." Arthur chimed in. "Moreover, they're just buildings. Nothing special for you to be excited about."

"Heh, it's easy for you to say. You already left the continent once," Feronia rolled her eyes. It's my first time."

"You left the continent? May I ask where you went?"

Lucifer took an interest in the travel of Arthur. From what he knew, Arthur never left the continent. But if he left after becoming a Noble, that made him wonder why he didn't leave to bring back the stone.

"Yeah. I went on vacation when I was younger," Arthur explained.

"So you didn't leave after becoming a Noble?" Lucifer asked, observing Arthur.
