Chapter 1461 - Losses
Chapter 1461 – Losses
The Old man looked at Gail and didn't reply.
His silhouette disappeared into Flit's body and the next second, the whole area is once again surrounded with spiritual energy. Flit's body disappeared from the spot as if it was never. Gail heaved a sigh and walked towards the Clan Leader lying unconscious on the ground with many injuries.
He examined the guy and felt relieved after noticing that his life is not in danger.
He looked through his spatial ring and took out a pill to feed the clan's leader. The leader of the Elite team came forward and took over the clan's leader to make him get some rest. Finally, the whole farce is over.
Every Gaja Clan member that survived felt like they got a new lease over their life.
At that moment, nobody wanted to think about what would happen next and just wanted to live out the rest of the day in peace.
After an hour. Within Giyon's residence.
Gail, Giyon and Sam are sitting together at a table.
They didn't speak since they came back from Saran's residence. All three of them freshened up and just sat there as they drank some wine.
"I am really sorry. I should have been more cautious about this whole thing."
Gail said after a long silence.
Giyon shook her head and chuckled.
"What are you apologizing for? It is not like you can go into the brains of every enemy of the clan and look into it to see what is going to happen."
Gail then looked at Sam and said.
"What is the deal with Saran's children? Why are so many people after them? Everyone is saying they are special, they have constitutions and all, but nobody has concrete details. Can you fill me in?"
Sam thought for a moment and explained what happened during the childbirth and what could have prompted the people to come here.
"It seems like you anticipated this way before than anyone else."
Sam nodded.
"I knew that the kids are special, but I never knew they are this coveted. I doubt that things would stop at this."
As they are speaking, Gamin and Yuvana arrived along with Grivon.
"I heard Flit was here. Did his old man bring him away again?"
Gamin asked as he took a seat.
"Yes. As always."
Grivon ran to Giyon and started bombarding her with many questions. He then looked at Sam who is sitting without his mechanical limbs.
"What the fuck happened to you? Where are your limbs?"
"Lost them in the fight."
"What did you do in a fight like this? I heard everyone that came is super strong?"
"Yeah, they are. But most of them don't have the brains to go with that body. We managed to kill The Black Witch because of those limbs. I guess that is kind of fair trade."
Gail, Gamin and Yuvana were surprised.
"The Black Witch came here?" Gail asked.
"Yeah, she did. The Divine league promised to give the kid with darkness constitution as a disciple. So, she came here to kill me. But we managed to deal with her. Sam used his limbs to create some explosions that are very weird and made her shadow squirm in agony before we managed to kill her."
"Oh? Thank god you are okay. She is a really foxy woman. It would have been really hard to kill her."
Yuvana said as she heaved a sigh of relief.
"Which god are you thanking aunt? The gods are the ones that wanted our clan dead today."
Giyon said in a lamenting tone.
Everyone turned silent again.
The next day, everyone within the clan gathered for a meeting in Clan's leader's residence. The main hall of the clan is completely destroyed, so they chose the next best thing.
As they all gathered, the clan's leader started looking at the reports compiled by the remnants of the investigative department and the enforcement department.
He couldn't help but feel the sense of loss.
All the grand elders are dead. Most of the core elders and Senior Elders are also dead. There are a lot more enemy deadbodies than they had previously known within the clan ground and there are even more dead bodies of the clan members along with them.
Almost all of the youngsters, innocent kids, regular members, external branch members, city guards, servants, maids, merchants and even some guests from the subordinate realms. All of them are dead. Slaughtered completely.
He also got the report from the secret forces of the Gaja clan that are mostly focused on collecting information along with the Planet and the realm.
It was said that seventy per cent of direct businesses under the clan were taken over by other organizations.
Many subordinate organizations rebelled and joined together with other organizations immediately. Cities were destroyed. Many people died. It is almost like everything that is related to Gaja Clan has been completely destroyed.
If even the realm they are present it has been this much of a mess, only God knows what the other realms have been like.
They couldn't get much information on this.
"Why? Why did this happen?" the Clan's leader's tone quivered as he looked at the reports.
He then looked at Gail and asked.
"Do you know how this happened?"
"Yes. The organizations ganged upon us. The whole tournament is a ruse. We were also ganged up by many grand elders, but we managed to come out unscathed."
"All of this for four kids that are prophesied to be the leaders of the new era?"
"The things people do are indeed inexplicable. Particularly when they are done in the name of an uncertain future that they are not even sure of."
Gail lamented over it.
That day, everyone gathered to stay together and maintained all the statistics of deaths and losses. As the numbers increased, their hearts grew heavier and heavier.
In one day, Gaja Clan is reduced to twenty percent of its original size. That is assuming all of their external organizations are destroyed.
To confirm this estimation, they have to wait for the reports to come from other areas.
The whole clan is in a sour mood.
The next three days, all the efforts were made to get information from the areas under the Gaja clan's control to learn what the situation is.
It turned out as soon as the attack in the tournament began, everyone already made their move.
Every organization made a move, almost instantly to occupy as much territory as they can.
The worst fears of everyone in the Gaja clan has been realized.
Everyone is feeling troubled.
Most of the Gaja clan's open resources are gone. Many of their external members are completely on the enemy side now. The worst part is, even if they managed to retake the properties they lost, they don't have members to hold them up.
This caused a lot of mess for them.
At this moment, Giyon who always didn't get involved in the Clan's activities, got herself involved for the first time.
She took out a lot of hidden information and placed it in front of the clan's leader.
"These are all the secret properties of the youngsters that died. They have their subordinates taking care of these things. There is no way all of these are taken away. I think Gaja clan can use this information to bounce back a bit."
"Thank you." The Clan leader said as he took the information with shaking hands.
Grivon also did the same. He even went as far as giving out half of the newly acquired properties to the clan.
But since it is impossible to give out his own subordinates like that, he decided to be the clan's representative for the said properties and just ran them with his own subordinates for the time being.
Looking at them. Some of the elders did the same as well.
They knew that this is the direst Gaja clan had ever been in a long time. They all had to get back together to bounce back.
"We need to keep these things secret at all costs. We cannot let their presence reveal itself.
We are going to seal the city. Since the merchants are already non-existent at the current rate, we will be rebuilding the city and we shall go be recluse for a few months.
I believe even the clans wouldn't dare to come and attack us without knowing what our exact strength left is and even they have to lick their own wounds.
Meanwhile, popularize this whole thing. I want to see how they would react when people's faiths don't stay as stable as they were before.
Let all of the subordinates on the outside publicize the matter of how many organizations had to gang up on us to destroy us. Of course, leave out the details."
This is the first order, the Clan's leader passed after the incident.
"Are you sure you want to do this? I mean, it does appear as a provocation."
The elite team's leader asked.
"We need to.. As far as I am concerned, this is the only way."
