Inhuman Warlock Chapter 744

Chapter 744

"The Warlock Council opposed me, and they are gone now. However, because of them, half the city is destroyed as well. The same thing will happen with your cities if anyone takes me lightly!" His mighty voice traveled through the TVs of everyone to send chills down everyone's spine.
The scenes on the TV changed. The footage of the battles of Lucifer with the Warlock Council was connected to the broadcast.
It was saved in an offline medium to make sure Atlantis didn't know that Lucifer was against the Warlock Council, but now that they knew, there was no need to hide the footage.
Moreover, it was better to show it since seeing their strongest Warlocks die could easily make the entire continent of Triton bow before Lucifer, as only the Zeston citizens knew about what had happened. The information about the takeover was kept a secret.
Hearing about the destruction of the Warlock Council, the entire world was in shock. Many nations didn't know who Lucifer was, but most of them knew about the Warlock Council. It was the leading authority and a symbol of strength.
Unlike the Warlock Council, the Divine Empire was mostly unknown since they didn't show off their strength outside, unlike the Warlock Council.
Lucifer wanted to use the reputation of the Warlock Council as a stepping stone to make the entire earth know who the new ruler was. Caen was just following the script.
The Governments all around the world and the leading Warlocks were in shock, trying to find as much as they could about Lucifer and what happened to the Warlock Council. At the moment, all they knew was that the world was facing a really big threat.
From what they saw in the footage, one person single handedly killed most of the Warlock Council heads. It was so hard to believe that some even thought that Lucifer had faked the video.
Every nation leader tasked their men with contacting their sources in the continent of Triton and in the Warlock Council to verify the news.
In another part of the continent, Jian and the others were still traveling to Zeston when they also came across the broadcast.
Seeing Lucifer, they were stunned.
"Just yesterday, we heard that Lucifer was on a different continent. How is he here so fast?" Someone asked.
"I'm not sure. Maybe he has some ability that helps him travel fast? In any case, that place is definitely our base. There are no questions about it. That guy is in Zeston!"
"Should we still go with the plan? I think we don't need to attack now. We need to prepare more. I think they knew we were about to attack, so they called back Lucifer. They aren't taking us lightly like we thought. This isn't the time to attack!"
"I agree. We should turn around and wait. We don't need to jump into their trap!"
For quite some time, Jian didn't open his mouth. He only heard the opinions of others, keeping his eyes closed.
After quite some time, he opened his eyes as a smile spread across his lips.
"We would be jumping into their trap if we turn around."
"What do you mean?"
"This is a clever trap. I must give them credit, but they also underestimated us quite a lot if they thought they could fool us with this."
"What are you trying to say?"
"You don't see it?" Jian asked, smiling.
He stood up, yawning. "Just answer me one thing. They know we're about to attack, and they also called back Lucifer for that. Then why would they do this global broadcast?"
" Why not keep his arrival a secret so they could surprise us and kill us? Why show him to the whole world? More importantly, it's just one day after they heard that we were going to attack?"
"Why?"
*Because they are scared," Jian smiled. "Because they are scared of us!"
"Why would they be scared of us? That one guy alone killed most of the Warlock Council head. Why would he be scared of the five of us?"
"It's not him who is scared but whoever is running things. If I'm not wrong, Lucifer isn't in Zeston! That's why they are making this broadcast to make us think that he's there and to stop us from attacking."
"Lucifer isn't there? Then the guy on screen? Special effects?"
"I studied up a bit on them last night. There's a person in their team who can impersonate anyone. If I'm not wrong, they're using him," Jian said, sighing.
"As I said, they made a mistake this time. Instead of making me change my mind about attacking them, they only strengthened my conviction to attack them."
"They don't want us to attack. What could be a more perfect time to attack. Moreover, Milena isn't in Zeston either. I don't know why, but most of their strongest Warlocks aren't in the city, it seems."
"How do you know Milena isn't there?"
"Because I only see Lucifer on screen. I haven't seen Milena anywhere. If she were in the city, she would've been with Lucifer instead of the other two."
"I think we can take back the city! We won't get a better opportunity than this when their two strongest Warlocks are out!"
"What if you're wrong? What if that's actually Lucifer? And what if Milena is there as well?"
"If I'm wrong? You're right. There's a five percent chance that I'm wrong, and they're actually there. But I believe the ninety-five percent is worth the risk. Don't you think so?"
"Just think, if Lucifer and Milena returned, he'd have his army, and the city would be under his control. Defeating him would be impossible then. But if we take out his army first when they aren't there, we can take away his advantage."
"Anyways, that's only my suggestion. I'll leave the choice to you. There are five of us. If three of you think we shouldn't do it, we'll turn back. You can decide.'
After leaving the decision of others, he turned back to the screen, but he abruptly realized something.
If the broadcast was global, then didn't it mean that his mother and his sister were seeing it too? They were going to know about the death of Julien?
He called his sister instantly to make sure they weren't watching TV.
On the other hand, Caen continued his threat while talking about his goals.
In the end, he also gave a choice to the citizens.
"I'm sure you all know about me now? So there are two choices before you! Either your leaders pledge their allegiance to me and surrender your nations, or I'll come to conquer them.. And It won't be nice when it happens."
