Chapter 28: Ancient Secrets

“What? He was ambushed?”

Everyone’s expression changed. They felt as if a door to the age of gods had been opened right before them.

It felt as if the myth of the rebel army that they had been piecing together all this time was finally being unraveled.

“Who was the one who ambushed the Great God Rutherford?”

The first elder asked agitatedly. After all, this was all news to him.

“I’m not sure!”

Zaencrest Harun shook his head. “I learned these secrets from the Zaencrest ancestors, and since they were passed down orally, there are some gaps between the information”

“All I know is that one of the gods that participated in the assault is called of the leading gods is called Truman.”

“Truman!”

After hearing the name, the Third Elder cried out in surprise.

“The ancestor of Oguapu Palace is Truman, and he is also known to some as Ogden.”

“What? The Oguapu Palace?”

“Damn it, I want to tear them apart!!”

“No wonder our mythology is so incomplete! This is all the Oguapu Palace’s fault!”

“What are we waiting for? Let’s gather all our men and storm the Oguapu Palace now! We must make them pay, and bleed them a river!”

Everyone’s eyes were bloodshot. They wanted nothing more than to assault the Oguapu Palace.

“No!”

Zaencrest Harun’s words shocked everyone once again.

“Our ancestors followed Rutherford’s order back then and moved our clan into the forbidden secret realm. Our family was sealed in there by Rutherford.”

“Right before the seal could be completed, however, a divine light flooded the scene, and in the end, all we could hear was Lord Rutherford’s furious howl.”

Zaencrest Harun clenched his fists tightly as if he was present when Rutherford was ambushed.

“Many more attacks followed, but our ancestors did not have the chance to witness it. By then, the seal had already closed completely.”

“Had it not been for the Divine Artifact Board, which shattered the deteriorating seal, our clan would still need to live within the secret realm that Lord Rutherford had sealed us in.”

“Damn it, why are these gods targeting the rebel army?”

The rebel army members present were all very angry, and their anger was mixed with a strong sense of incomprehension.

Logically speaking..,

If the rebel army’s gods were really that terrifying, should the other gods not keep their distance?

Instead, they were had ganged up on the rebel army’s gods instead!

“I’m not sure!”

Zaencrest Harun shook his head. “However, our ancestors speculated that the other gods are after something in the rebel army’s possession.”

“What that item is, however, is anyone’s guess.”

“An item?”

Everyone was puzzled. What exactly was it that could cause the gods to scheme like this?

A strong sense of doubt formed within everyone’s mind.

At this moment, someone suddenly exclaimed.

“Look, another powerhouse from the Montchristopher family has made it onto the board.”

Upon hearing those words, everyone immediately turned to look at the sky.

A brand new listing had appeared.

[ 46th place: Battle Legionnaire’s Breastplate ]

[ Owner’s Level: Intermediate Stage 9 ]

[ Phase: Prime ]

[ Owner: Montchristopher Sebastian ]

[ Reward: Both pet beast and owner will receive one trace of Elemental Divinity! ]

A silver-white knight’s breastplate with purplish-red spots and iron chains appeared before everyone’s vision.

The golden light of the reward was heading towards the territory of the rebel organization.

“It’s the rebel organization again. How many spots have they already occupied in the rankings?”

“This is their tenth listing. Oh my god! Why does the rebel organization have so many divine artifacts?”

“Where’s the blogger who made the personal rankings earlier? Show yourself! On what criteria did you based your rankings on?”

“That’s right. What kind of trash list are you making? None of your predictions have made the mark.”

On the beast tamer forum, everyone could not help but curse crazily once they saw the rankings in the air.

“Ahem, please calm down, everyone. The Zaencrest and Montcristopher families were beyond our expectations.”

“However, I can guarantee that the top ten rankings are absolutely accurate.”

“Is that so? Let’s keep watching then.”

Everyone in the rebel army was abnormally excited when they saw the Montchristopher family making the list again.

Compared to the rebel army, the other factions had reacted in the completely opposite manner.

At this moment, all the other factions had solemn expressions on their faces.

“Lord Bishop Salisbury, if this continues, won’t the rebel army be unstoppable?”

Alfred said worriedly.

“In my opinion, we should head to the rebel army’s territory right now and massacre them. Once we’ve gotten rid of their beast tamers, we’ll snatch their pet beasts and divine artifacts.”

The battle-hungry Clemente Hobart snorted coldly.

“The best way to solve the crisis is to nip it in the bud.”

“No, don’t tell me you’ve forgotten that we still don’t know whether or not that Joe is a member of the rebel organization!”

Black Amos said with a frown after hearing what Clement Hobart had to say.

“He isn’t!”

Warpole Clifford suddenly spat.

“I’ve already sent people to investigate. It wasn’t the rebel organization’s beast tamers who took action.”

“It was Joe’s pet, Behemoth, who killed it.”

“Huh? Behemoth?”

Everyone’s expressions changed. Behemoth was a powerful beast that ranked third on the Hundred Beasts Board.

“Behemoth took action? Wouldn’t that make Joe a member of the rebel army, then?”

“Of course not!”

Warpole Clifford said with conviction, “I’ve sent people to verify the information obtained by the rebel army and the Lo Powo Palace.”

“In fact, just as Bishop Salisbury had guessed, the information about La Powo Palace was leaked to us was falsified.”

“Their goal was to get us to hunt down the rebel army’s beast tamers, and then take advantage of us later.”
