Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

Chapter 295 Guardian Suicide

Douglas Lord's House meeting room.

"It's been a long time since we all get together." Owen Douglas looked around the conference room with a wry smile.

Guardian Gilbert and Dimitar, Philip.

The mercenary king Jed, Chris who became the leader of the Knights of Colinfirth, and the representative of the revolutionary group, Berid.

There are also heroes who are former students at the Hero Academy.

"Can't such combat power destroy a country?" Owen smiled bitterly as he watched the great figures who were difficult to gather together.

Although it can be said that the Libera Kingdom currently has the highest combat power, it cannot just smile with hope.

"That's all." Gilbert smacked his lips bitterly, and Dimitar gulped the water on the table.

"Damn it, we've lost two guardians!" Dimitar slammed the table excitedly, and Philip next to him was shaking with anger, staring into the air.

"A week ago, Guardians Simon and Orville died in the Eastern Battlefield. It is said that they were killed by Hamilton."

When Cardan temporarily left the human world, many people died.

On top of that, Simon and Orville, two Guardians that Cardan hadn't met yet, were killed by Hamilton, the current Guardian traitor.

"I heard about the death of Lord Simon and Lord Orville. Is that true?"

"Damn it! That rumor is true." Hearing this, people couldn't help but be surprised. The demon clan's goal is to open the door to the demon world.

It is said that in order to open the door to the demon world, five people like the guardians are needed as sacrifices. But why did two of the guardians die?

"I think everyone may have misunderstood." As the atmosphere became increasingly heavy, Mercenary King Jed continued cautiously.

"Lord Simon and Lord Orvel committed suicide." Hearing this, Philip and Dimitar stared at Jed with wide eyes.

"What are you talking about, Jade?"

"Can you take responsibility for what you said?" Suicide is dishonorable. Now Jed's words might insult the legend of the kingdom.

"I fought alongside them on the battlefield against the demons. I watched their choices and their final moments."

Jade conveyed this with a serious expression, unlike usual.

"Why did they commit suicide?" Gilbert, who had been listening quietly, asked expressionlessly.

"Hamilton ordered the demons to capture Lord Simon and Lord Orville." The two guardians who did not want to be captured stayed on the battlefield to fight after the resistance retreated, and eventually committed suicide.

After Jed finished speaking, the conference room fell into heavy silence again. This is the situation, and the atmosphere will not be good.

Creak. As the atmosphere became more tense, the door to the conference room opened and Cardin walked in slowly.

"Thank you all for listening to my request and gathering together." Cardin stood in front of the podium and greeted everyone respectfully.

"The atmosphere isn't very good." Cardin looked around the conference room and felt the heavy atmosphere. They were all familiar faces, but there were no smiles on their faces.

When Cardin returned to Douglas, he recounted what had happened during the three months he had been missing.

So he understood why the people in the conference room were breathing so heavily.

"I heard you disappeared, but you seem to be okay." Dimitar put down his glass and greeted Cardin.

"Looks pretty healthy."

"Nice to see you again." Gilbert also waved and greeted Cardan casually, and then Philip, the guardian who was searching for the Dragon's Nest with him, also smiled at Cardan.

Not only that. People who had met Cardin at least once tried to smile for him and lighten the mood.

"I'm out of here for now. Sorry."

"You don't need to apologize."

"The ones who were wrong were those demon guys." After Cardin apologized, everyone in the conference room waved their hands.

As they said, Cardin had done nothing wrong. Some people also comforted him and told him not to feel guilty.

"So what's the reason for bringing us together?" Gilbert leaned back in his chair and asked Cardin while waiting for everyone to quiet down.

Gilbert's question made everyone shut up and wait for Cardin's answer.

Everyone's eyes were focused on him, and after Cardin looked at each of them, he took a deep breath for a moment. Then he spoke slowly.

"Isn't it time to end this war?" Hearing this, Jed suddenly raised his hand and asked.

"What? We're going to use the remaining forces to attack all at once. That's not the plan, is it?" It's not about igniting the last spark. That's not the plan.

Jade thought, waiting for Cardin's answer.

"Yeah, more or less." The answer brought a gust of silence into the conference room.

"what? What?"

"We have not yet fully understood the ultimate fighting power of the demons, and we have already lost two major forces."

"Do you want to say such things and call us here?" What kind of confidence does he have to talk nonsense like this?

People looked at Cardin with disbelief, and Cardin waved at the rioters, asking them to calm down.

"Will you listen to me?"

After Cardan's respectful request, people tried to keep their mouths shut and give Cardan the right to speak again.

"Those who have listened to me may know that the demons have only one goal."

Open the door to the demon world. In order to open that door, five guardian-level warriors are needed.

"Two guardians have died in the battle. Now there are only three left. The demons will try to capture the remaining three no matter what."

"I heard that it takes five guardian-level warriors to open the door to the demon world. Anyway, there are still two missing, right?" Jade asked the question again, and Cardin nodded in answer.

"There are two more guardian-level warriors here." Cardin opened his hand and pointed somewhere, his fingertips pointing to where Matthias was sitting.

"The next guardian is Mathias." Cardin then said, placing his hand on his chest.

"And I will become a target of the demons." No one denied Cardan's words. As he said, Cardan is now a strong man that no one can ignore.

After Charlotte and Isaac, he is the most suitable necromancer for the position of Guardian.

"We must stop the door to the demon world from opening. So, shouldn't we hide our identities now?" The representative of the Paladins raised his hand to express his opinion.

Then the others in the room nodded in agreement with what was said.

As long as the five people hide their identities, they can stop the demon clan's goal.

"While we hide our identities, the citizens of the kingdom, including you, will have to live under the rule of the demons for the rest of your lives."

No, this is a benevolent explanation. Even if there is no gate to the demon world, the demons can create a demon world and turn all visible humans into demons.

"If not, then kill them all." Cardan looked at the paladin who asked the question and spoke again.

"Beginning with the rule of the Kingdom of Libera, the demons will spread throughout the world." Even if they flee abroad, it is only a matter of time before the demons rule the world.

"The most important thing is that there are also strong guardian-level people abroad." It is only a matter of time before the guardians, Matthias, and Cardin hide their identities.

"I see. My thinking was too short-sighted. Please continue." After Cardin finished speaking, the Paladin admitted it with regret and nodded.

"Crisis is also an opportunity." Cardin looked around the quiet conference room and continued.

"The demons are already troubled by the fact that they have lost two guardians." They may be more careful with the guardians who were sacrificed and Mathias and Cardan.

"We have to go to war." But for this reason alone, it was difficult to get the agreement of those gathered here.

"Total victory in war is possible."

"To be honest, we are not sure if we can defeat all the demons with this fighting power."

"No matter how you think about it, this proposal sounds like a last-ditch effort." People shook their heads, seemingly rejecting Cardin's proposal.

"But, total war should be carried out excluding everyone except the Guardians, Mathias and me." Cardan continued, and the people laughed dryly.

To wage war, we must send out the strongest forces. And it must be a total war that mobilizes all the forces.

"I want to keep listening." The crowd was noisy, and Gilbert said in a magical voice.

The authority he exuded made people shut up again, and Cardin spoke again after a brief thank you.

"The Guardians, Mathias, and I must go directly into the Noble Demons, the heart of the enemy."

"If we get caught, won't that be what they want?"

"Cardan, although we know your achievements, this is too much of a stretch given your current strength."

"If the dead Charlotte and Isaac were resurrected, it might be okay, but this plan is too reckless."

All three Guardians expressed their negative opinions, and Cardin sighed calmly and looked at them.

"Is it because the situation is too chaotic? Haven't you noticed yet?" Cardin activated his magic slightly and looked at the three guardians.

Instantly, everyone in the conference room, including the Guardians, stared at Cardin with wide eyes.

"Well, then."

"Has he reached 9 stars?" Only after Cardan released his suppressed power did people realize that he had reached 9 stars.

Only those who already knew that Cardin had reached 9 stars would chuckle and nod.

"How on earth is it done?"

"It only reached 8 stars a few months ago, didn't it?"

"It wasn't like this when we met." Dimitar, Gilbert and Philip kept saying in disbelief.

"Victory is possible. It's not impossible, nor is it a last-ditch struggle." Cardan said this, looking at the three guardians.

"but……"

"As I said earlier, we do not yet fully understand the enemy's combat capabilities."

"And we don't know where the enemy's center is." We can't agree to this easily. This is a matter of life and death.

No, it's about the future of the Kingdom of Libera, so we must be fully prepared.

"I know this." At this time, a man sitting in the corner of the conference room suddenly raised his hand and stood up.

"Who are you?" Gilbert asked, tilting his head, and the man answered after taking a short, deep breath.

"I am Jack Carter, the chief of the Thieves' Capital Branch. I already know the number of noble demons and the enemy's heartland."

"How do you know?" Even if they said it was a bandit gang, it didn't make sense. No, the bandit gang had been disbanded since the war began.

When gangs of thieves gather information, they usually do so through conversations between people.

But now the group has been disbanded, and there should be no one collecting information.

"Are the survivors of the bandit gang still active?"

"Even if members of the thieves' gang are active, it would be difficult for them to break into the demon formation, right?" People looked at Jack Carter with disbelief, and Jack Carter chuckled and pointed somewhere.

Meow. Then a cat that was resting in the corner jumped up and jumped into Jack Carter's arms.

"My agents are not human. These guys bring the information you need."
