Global Beast Mastery: Only I Can See the Hints

Because Charles had to constantly avoid the Desert Goblins’ patrols while leaving their nest, by the time he reached the exit, Andrew and his companion had already been gone for some time.

“We’re falling behind. We need to speed up! Rainbow, take me to Serpent’s Eye Lake Oasis immediately!”

At Charles’s command, Rainbow swiftly spread her wings and soared into the sky.

The dragon’s flight was incredibly fast—it took only about half an hour to reach Serpent’s Eye Lake Oasis.

But to Charles, even that speed felt a bit slow.

While Charles was on his way to Serpent’s Eye Lake Oasis, a series of events were unfolding inside the oasis itself.

Within the great pyramid at Serpent’s Eye Lake Oasis, Aldany gathered his trusted confidants.

He had already decided to initiate a rebellion.

The current situation no longer allowed him to hesitate.

“Everyone, you’ve surely heard about the recent series of events, haven’t you?”

Aldany’s face was dark and somber as he spoke slowly.

His loyal followers listened attentively, their expressions grave.

They knew that Aldany had called this meeting for a very serious reason.

Based on recent developments, they could tell that the conflict between Aldany and the other high priests had escalated dramatically.

“Since none of you are answering me, I’ll take that as consent.”

Aldany rose from his seat.

As he spoke, he paced slowly past his confidants.

“The curse on Her Majesty the Empress has erupted again—and this time, it caused her to completely lose consciousness.

I believe this must be related to Charles.

After all, Charles is a human, and we can never trust any human. But the other high priests have all sided with him.

They have all gathered together to oppose me! I am now completely isolated and without allies.

If I am defeated by them, the Empress will be left utterly unprotected.”

Although Aldany had resolved to rebel, he did not openly declare his intentions.

He was still deceiving those around him.

He portrayed himself as loyal to the Empress, while casting the others as traitors.

If he succeeded, the resistance he faced afterward would be much weaker.

As soon as Aldany finished speaking, a Serpent soldier stood up and asked,

“High Priest, what is your plan? Are you planning to arrest all the other high priests? Or is our action only going to target Charles?”

This soldier was no ordinary one.

He was the most experienced combat veteran in Aldany’s faction, and it wouldn’t be long before he could be promoted to become General Sost’s deputy.

Thus, he was not entirely supportive of Aldany’s actions.

Aldany smiled and replied.

“How could I possibly arrest all the high priests? Although most of them have sided with Charles, I believe they have all been deceived by him.

Among all the high priests, only High Priest Kent has no reason to support Charles. I believe he and Charles are plotting a conspiracy.

Kent controls the other high priests, and through that, he can control the entire Serpent Empire. Meanwhile, Charles will take care of killing anyone who dares to resist them. This way, they can monopolize all the power!”

Although Aldany’s words were full of lies, from a purely logical standpoint, they didn’t seem unreasonable.

Kent was indeed the Regent High Priest of the Serpent Empire.

This meant that, with the support of most of the high priests, Kent could easily take control of the Serpent Empire.

Moreover, those who did not support Kent would certainly not have the same strength as Charles.

If this were to happen, the Serpent Empire would indeed be in grave danger.

The faces of the group were all filled with shock.

A young Serpent Beast Master stood up, hesitating for a moment before speaking.

“But High Priest Kent wouldn’t do that, would he? He’s always been a very kind person. I don’t believe he would work with humans to control the entire Empire.”

“Kent may have been a very kind person before, but the series of events that have happened recently show that he is no longer the same.”

Aldany said slowly.

“He has not provided General Sost with enough military supplies. Our war with the Stellar Empire is in a very critical stage.

By withholding supplies from General Sost, isn’t he practically ensuring that Sost will fail on the front lines?

If Sost is defeated, the forces opposing him will become much weaker. If we wait until then to act, even if we succeed, it will be meaningless.”

Aldany once again dropped a bombshell, leaving everyone stunned.

Kent, the High Priest, had indeed failed to provide General Sost with enough military supplies.

However, this was not intentional.

Serpent’s Eye Lake Oasis itself simply didn’t have enough military resources, and Aldany had continually demanded that the defenses of Serpent’s Eye Lake Oasis be strengthened.

As a result, most of the military supplies had been allocated to reinforcing the oasis.

But only a few people knew about this.

Neither Aldany nor Kent had spoken of it.

Thus, everyone present believed Aldany’s lies.

“High Priest, what are we waiting for then? Let’s act quickly! We cannot allow those people’s conspiracy to succeed!”

A person specifically arranged by Aldany saw that the atmosphere had been built up well enough and stood up loudly, urging everyone to take action.

The others instinctively nodded in agreement.

In this situation, Aldany finally allowed a smile to appear on his face.

“Although Serpent is currently facing a huge crisis, if our actions are properly executed, not only can we escape the crisis, but we can also use this opportunity to make the Serpent Empire stronger.

In this mission, we can use our own strength and also gain the help of the Desert Goblins! They are also very afraid that the Serpent Empire will collapse.

Once the Serpent Empire collapses, no force will be able to stop the Stellar Empire. And then the Desert Goblins will also be conquered by the Stellar Empire!”

Aldany’s words were meant to inspire his subordinates.

But as soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room grew a little strange.

The majority of people were reluctant to cooperate with the Desert Goblins.

Although the conflict between the Serpent Empire and the Desert Goblins had decreased in recent years, the clashes between the two factions in the past had been extremely intense.

The Desert Goblins had even repeatedly besieged Serpent’s Eye Lake Oasis.

Aldany noticed the shift in mood.

He quickly spoke up.

“The cooperation with the Desert Goblins is just a backup plan. If our actions proceed smoothly, this backup plan will not be needed.”

As soon as he said this, the mood in the room relaxed a bit.

“Since you’ve all decided to support me, let me explain the details of my plan.”

Aldany instructed his guards to provide each person with a map.

This map was of Serpent’s Eye Lake Oasis, and it marked a lot of critical information.

“This map outlines each of your individual tasks. Once the operation begins, you just need to follow the instructions on the map and complete your respective tasks.”

In Aldany’s plan, his trusted subordinates had to take control of all the important buildings within Serpent’s Eye Lake Oasis.

Only then could he ensure the success of his mission.

And only then could he ensure that he would be able to counter any retaliation from Charles.

“My strength may not be as great as yours, but as long as I can completely control the Serpent Empire, I can use its power to defeat you once and for all,” Aldany muttered fiercely.

The person he wanted to eliminate the most was Charles.

Because Charles had once mocked him mercilessly and without hesitation.

After reviewing their respective tasks, everyone felt more confident than before.

Aldany’s plan was indeed very detailed.

As long as they followed their tasks, this operation would undoubtedly succeed.

However, one person still raised an objection.

“Your Excellency, I believe our actions might be a bit too reckless. Shouldn’t you have another conversation with High Priest Kent? I think you still have a chance to persuade him to abandon his support for Charles.”

As soon as he said this, the mood in the room shifted.

Although Aldany’s plan was flawless, everyone knew that it essentially amounted to a rebellion.

Kent, the High Priest, was the Regent Priest.

Until the Queen regained consciousness, Kent represented the Queen herself.

A dangerous glint flashed in Aldany’s eyes.

He thought the person who had suggested this was being incredibly ungrateful.

But he also knew that he had to stay calm.

He couldn’t afford to let anyone see through his facade.

Feigning a pained expression, he sighed and said, “Actually, I had the same thought before. But when I tried to persuade High Priest Kent, he directly threw me out.”

As soon as Aldany said this, everyone in the room was filled with rage.

Although Aldany’s position was no longer higher than Kent’s, Aldany was still the second-highest-ranking priest after Kent.

Kent’s actions had certainly been excessive.
