Chapter 1933: 546 Wanderers’ Intelligence_2

Its actions required a large amount of power from Purgatory for support.

But this plane tear wasn’t the true Purgatory; there wasn’t much of Purgatory’s power available to it, so what really sustained its actions was the Summoning Banner on its back.

As long as we could seal or weaken the power of the Summoning Banner.

Then the Purgatory Giant Beast’s Insight or anti-stealth Abilities would also be severely limited.

At that time, dealing with it wouldn’t be so difficult.

We just had to proceed with the method used to eliminate the Secret Realm Beasts.”

Upon hearing this, Matthew felt a chill in his heart—

He had indeed unconsciously overlooked the Purgatory Beast’s huge frame.

It turned out that thing was also a part of Glacia’s self-defence system, and seemed to be quite critical!

“Invaluable information.”

“I should have a way to reduce the effects of the Summoning Banner, but once we start, we must immediately seize control of Glacia and the beast itself, leaving us possibly even less time than anticipated…”

Matthew said.

Richard nodded and added,

“Fortunately, our mission is only to steal from the Demoness of Desire, which is much easier than an actual Assassination.”

“I will do my best.”

Subsequently,

Sener quickly outlined the second part of Glacia’s defence system:

“The mid-to-close range defence primarily consists of Glacia’s entourage, setting aside the soldiers from the Devil Alliance, the main components are as follows—”

“First are three Desire Demon Teams, each with six members, for a total of eighteen, usually one team rests, one is on standby, and one is visibly carrying out guard duties.”

“Don’t underestimate the Desire Demons, although none are Legendary units, it’s still somewhat difficult for a typical Legendary to tackle a Desire Demon Team, let alone in such a battlefield environment.”

“In addition, Glacia has four Shadow Demon guards, four Purgatory Monks, two personal maids, and two male pets who serve her year-round.”

“The combat abilities of the Shadow Demon guards and Purgatory Monks are strong, but luckily this isn’t the Purgatory Space, so their bestowed favours are greatly reduced.”

“As for the personal maids and male pets, I can’t assess their strength; they should possess some self-defence Skills but probably are not too powerful.”

Lastly,

It was the Rogue maiden Saphroloa who provided the assessment of the final line of defence:

“I’ve done some investigation before; the most famous guards around Glacia are three: Refining Demon Lopes, Desecration Mage Anderson, and the loyalist Calva.”

“The confirmed intelligence is that Refining Demon Lopes was dispatched by her to the Infinite Secret Cave at their original domain to carry out an important mission, while Anderson is in command of the Tears of Barthor headquarters.”

“So, apart from herself, the only Legendary combat power Glacia can rely on now is the Phantom Baron and the loyalist Calva.”

“The Phantom Baron needs to command the battles; he’s usually on the other side of the battlefield, not beside Glacia, and once the war starts, he might be able to support at great speed, so we need someone to intercept him.”

“But even more important is the loyalist Calva.”

“Do you see that gaunt man below the battle flag, who’s silent and wearing heavy shackles and harnesses?”

“That’s Calva.”

“He’s not a demon, but a human from Purgatory, said to have once been a Purgatory’s Son, but was betrayed by his kin and almost died in a certain calamity.”

“It was the Demoness of Desire who saved him, and since then, Calva has become Glacia’s most loyal guard.”

“To this day, I haven’t figured out his profession, Calva is thin, must have good Agility, but he doesn’t seem to be a Rogue focusing on physical Burst or a Fierce Warrior who engages in head-on battles.

He doesn’t even have a shield at hand, nor does he resemble a Guardian.

His only weapon is the Soft Sword he wears at his waist, and there is no aura of Ether Star Alliance on him, unlikely a spellcaster…”

Saphroloa mumbled as she eliminated several potential professions.

Then she showed a helpless and not very confident expression on her face:

“I suspect his profession… might be something like a Bard?”

“I’m sorry, I also don’t understand why Glacia would appoint a bard as guard; it obviously doesn’t seem appropriate…”

Lorraine immediately contradicted,

“The Bard is a very versatile profession; they can meet the demands of any position, don’t let bias blind your eyes, Miss Rogue.”

Saphroloa stuck out her tongue, whispered an apology, then added:

“Finally, there’s Glacia herself and the divine artefact she possesses.”

“I think the Demoness of Desire’s greatest domain is illusion; she’s lacking in other aspects.”

“The most threatening artefacts in her possession are the Summoning Banner, Mysterious Palace, and the Eye of Barthor.”

“The Summoning Banner is right before us, and since Mr. Matthew is confident he can Counterspell it, that shouldn’t be a problem.”

“The Mysterious Palace is a treasure Glacia found in an underground palace from the Eastern Continent, said to greatly enhance her illusion Abilities, and it can even capture a person’s soul into an Immortal Palace-like dream, immersing them in the wonderful life of the palace and making it difficult for them to extricate themselves, eventually becoming nourishment for the Demoness of Desire—so in summary, we still have to be wary of attacks on the illusion plane.”

“As for the Eye of Barthor, no one knows what use that item has, there are some rumors in the market, but I think most of them are not credible.”

After listening,

Matthew expressed his gratitude to Saphroloa.

Then,

the three Legendary Rogues exchanged observations they had made.

Matthew listened on the side,

and quickly improved the action plan based on the information they had.

“Can we confirm that Glasia is her true body?”

Matthew asked the three.

Sener answered decisively,

“Confirmed.”

Richard pondered,

“There’s a ninety-five percent probability that it’s her true body.”

Saphroloa speculated,

“Hard to say, maybe fifty-fifty.”

The other two looked at her with surprised eyes.

“We’ve confirmed that the Soul Copper Coin is real.”

Richard reminded.

Saphroloa nodded,

“Yes, but that doesn’t mean the Demoness of Desire who came is definitely the true body. She could hang the real coin on a fake body, and then the real one might disguise herself as a maid or a male pet. That’s a common trick, isn’t it?”

Sener scoffed,

“Demons indeed are deceptive, but they rarely do superfluous things.”

“This time the demons’ march was urgent, they even used the Summoning Banner to draft troops, this indicates that Beckman’s actions are an emergency for them.”

“I don’t think Glasia, in the frenzied state of preparing for the battle of Storluk, would have the energy to divert and create a decoy to mislead others.”

“It might avoid some risks, but the energy cost is too high.”

“Right now, she should be completely focused on how to kill Beckman and has no spare energy to consider anything else. Trust me, no demon can resist the temptation of rewards from the Blood River Will!”

Richard looked at Sener.

Though he seemed reluctant, this time, he gave a rare opinion that coincided with Sener’s:

“I also think Glasia does not have the spare energy to outwit potential enemies.”

“Assuming she doesn’t know of our existence.”

Matthew took a deep breath.

At this point,

all he could hope for was that the Blood River Will had not informed Glasia of his arrival.

After all, now that he had come,

not to confront her at least once would be unjustifiable.

“As planned, the three of you will spread out around the Demoness of Desire, maintain stealth, and wait for my signal.”

Matthew issued such an order.

The three each stealthily departed.

At that moment,

Vivien indicated that the temporary pulse device had been completely assembled.

Thereupon,

Matthew activated the guild spell ‘Shared Mage’s Hand,’ and took out a withered sea anemone palm-sized and a crucible with a turtle-shell-like pattern from the storage.

However, just as he turned over the crucible,

he found a tiny creature inside it.

“Hello there, Matthew!”

“I’m here to provide technical support for this device.”

Astronaut Bubu greeted him cheerfully.
