Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2629

Golden Cicada asked earnestly, “Sebastian, how did it go?”

Sebastian gave him the thumbs up. “It was a success. Now, all we have to do is to put our plan into motion.”

“Excellent!” Golden Cicada exclaimed, clearly pleased. “You have done a splendid job, Sebastian. When we return, I shall make sure to reward you handsomely. Now, lead the way. The rest of us shall follow you and sneak into their base as quietly as possible.”

“Got it!”

Sebastian was leading the way, and the rest of the Northern Faction followed closely behind. They crept along on their stomachs, carefully navigating the terrain and keeping a watchful eye out for any potential threats.

The pit Nameless was stationed in was a naturally formed ditch.

It was dark at night, so the other sentries didn't notice those from the Northern Faction advancing into their base.

The Northern Faction had successfully sneaked into their enemy's base.

Golden Cicada gave a commanding wave. “Surround the base!”

His subordinates quickly got up and surrounded the base.

Golden Cicada gazed at the Southern Faction's base and chortled. “The Southern Faction will soon be erased from Theos Island's history and I, Golden Cicada, will be the sole ruler of Centuria.”

At the same time, Erebus was chasing after “Zeke” relentlessly.

For some reason, “Zeke” wasn't as fast as usual.

Erebus nearly caught up to him a few times but gave up in the end.

He grew paranoid.

Why did Zeke run so slowly? Is he doing this on purpose? Is this a trap leading me somewhere? That sounds like a huge possibility.

In actual fact, Erebus was thinking too much.

“Zeke” was slower than usual because he wasn't Zeke at all. He was Sole Wolf in disguise.

Sole Wolf was an Ultimate Class warrior, so he was far slower than a Celestial Class warrior.

He was struggling to maintain this pace, as it was not his usual speed.

Sole Wolf's breath was coming in short, shallow gasps, and he was filled with a sense of growing panic.

Erebus was too quick and nearly caught up to him several times.

If Erebus caught up to me and discovered who I really am, he'll take my life for sure. I'm just an Ultimate Class warrior, and he's a Celestial Class warrior. No matter how strong I am, I won't be able to defeat him.

Erebus wasn't a fool and slowly realized something was off.

D*mn it. This person seems to be running at full speed. Don't tell me he isn't Zeke. Is someone else impersonating Zeke? F*ck, that might be possible!

He released a burst of negative energy and directed it at Sole Wolf.

At once, Sole Wolf retaliated.

The moment he released his energy to defend himself, his identity was exposed.

Erebus immediately discovered that the energy didn't belong to Zeke.

I was right. This isn't Zeke, for someone else is pretending to be him! I got tricked! Zeke is still in the Southern Faction's base. Those from the Northern Faction who had gone to attack the Southern Base are now in grave danger. D*mn it. How did our plan get leaked? How did they find out we were trying to distract them?

He grew paranoid.

Why did Zeke run so slowly? Is he doing this on purpose? Is this a trap leading me somewhere? That sounds like a huge possibility.

At the same time, back in the Southern Faction's base, Golden Cicada gave a commanding wave. “Attack!”

The members of the Northern Faction leaped into action with the ferocity of wild animals when they heard the order. They burst into different rooms in the base, brandishing their swords menacingly.

Golden Cicada rushed into one of the rooms too and swung his sword at the bed unceasingly.

However, weirdly enough, he didn't hear any screams or moans of anguish.

Something seems wrong.

He immediately yelled, “Switch on the lights! Hurry, switch on the lights!”

His subordinates turned on their torchlights instantly.

The moment light flooded the room, Golden Cicada's heart sank to the bottom of his stomach. The bed was empty, and no one was around.

He had ruthlessly demolished the bed with his sword, leaving it in a state of utter destruction. Nobody was hiding underneath it.

The room was tiny, so its occupants could only be on the bed or underneath it. There was nowhere else to hide. He couldn't help but wonder where they went in the middle of the night.
