Chapter 1462 - Plans
The Clan's leader is pretty pissed at everyone that was involved in the incident. Three different groups who barely have any relationship with each other made a move on Gaja Clan at the same time.
They plotted and executed everything perfectly and the worst part of it all is that Gaja Clan had no clue whatsoever.
They had spies everywhere, but they didn't send any information back. He is trying to get them in touch to see if anyone is alive.
But until now, there is barely any luck.
Gail, Gamin and Yuvana are within the clan. They didn't go out to take revenge.
Currently, the situation of the clan is very sensitive. There are over ten organizations that just attacked Gaja Clan with a massive plot. Nobody knows when they will get desperate now that the Gaja Clan has survived this peril.
The Peril that they should have never escaped.
The seal to the city currently serves as a defensive move as well as a warning.
It is saying the other organizations that the city is off-limits and they shouldn't be arriving at all.
Many organizations are currently contemplating what to do with the Gaja Clan.
There is a reason why they didn't directly attack the clan openly. The Gaja clan has a great reputation. Many common folks even in other territories knows about the clan and they have a decently clean image.
And for the organizations at their level, they need to keep up that image because of their need for faith.
The faith that every Astral Plane Consummate stage cultivator needs to have any chance to break through to the next stage.
If all the clans attacked the Gaja clan without a proper reason, even if they didn't showcase their dissatisfaction and anger, there is no way they would just let it slide in their hearts.
The whole faith they have accumulated over the years would be gone.
The leaders of the Gaja clan and the Grand elders who are into their old age are basically struggling so hard to keep this faith and are benefitting from it one way or the other.
And the gods who are supporting these organizations are also feeding on the same faith from these people because of the reputation of the clan.
So, they made this deliberate and intricate plan, luring them all over and killing everyone off. But now everything went sideways.
On top of all of that shit they stirred, The clan's leader is not sitting still.
He directly spread the information to the whole world.
The Elite team's leader used his external connections and friendships to spread the information based on the Clan's leader's orders.
This is a direct provocation by directly killing the reputation of the other organizations.
The Clan leader wants to use scare tactics in this situation. He knows very well that every organization would be on the edge. So, not only did he seal the city, he is also provoking them.
He simply says that the whole city is under their control and they are strong and secure enough to provoke the organizations.
They are simply asking them to come and get them.
Three days passed.
But there is no reaction from the other organizations.
The clan's leader recovered completely and he finally went to meet with Gail, Gamin and Yuvana.
"Thank you Brother Gail for the medicine. I am pretty sure it would have been an expensive thing even for you."
"No need. We are of one clan and in such a situation the price of that pill is negligible compared to your life."
"I am really sorry that I wasn't able to save the clan. I still remember you telling me on that day, how big of responsibility I am going to carry. But I was ignorant and only thought of the position of superiority I was going to obtain.
But now I understand."
"Don't apologize for anything. You are a better clan leader than any of the previous ones. Even the founder wouldn't have done a better job than you.
You stood your ground and put everything on the line. There is only so much one person can do no matter how powerful they are."
Gail and Gamin consoled him a bit.
"So, what is your next plan?"
After some time Gail asked.
"Gaja clan needs decades to recover from this blow. We don't even know whether the Divine league would be staying out of this from now on. But there is a great chance they would come back.
The other organizations are also in a tense situation.
We need to make sure that everyone thinks that we are strong enough and don't attack us for a few years.
We must keep up the image that even without the numbers we are as good as ever.
We need to reestablish trade, increase the resources, develop again. Increase the territory.
There are a lot of things, but first of all, we need to send them a few messages.
The first one is, that there would be consequences for their actions and the second one is that we are still not weak enough for them to barge in and take us on even in this situation.
If we cannot do both of them, we would soon become fish on the chopping board, ready to have the head severed."
"What do you want us to do? Just tell us that."
"It would help if you carry out some assassination attempts. We need to take down at least two grand elders from each organization and it needs to happen at a rapid pace.
We cannot afford to put these organizations to drop down the edge and attack us at the moment. But we also need to make their power go less."
"This situation wouldn't get resolved like that."
As the clan leader is speaking, Sam suddenly said.
Everyone turned to him.
"if you really want to keep your organization safe while retaining this city, you need to make them understand that you are only staying down because you want to not because you have to.
You have to show them that, you can walk around and grip them by their throats if that is what it takes.
That wouldn't be achievable if you are just assassinating.
The best option is to pick a clan or an organization and annoy them secretly. Make them go crazy in the most embarrassing ways that they wouldn't be able to go and tell anyone or publicize. Make them come and attack you by themselves.
Make them come to the city and defeat them. You need to absolutely crush them.
Not a single piece of information should go outside. The only thing the world should know is how many hours did the weakened Gaja clan take to destroy the full force of the clan that came at them.
If you publicize it and then proceed to deal with the rest of the organizations one by one. Picking up the pieces randomly but collectively at the same time, you will have some breathing space for a few years.
In these few years, you can establish secret trades behind their backs and develop from their pockets while weakening them. If that is what you want of course."
"Of course, I want that, why wouldn't I? The revenge is bound to be taken on every single of these organizations."
"Then in your current stage, trade is the best route. Contact a reliable merchant that does business on a massive scale. He must cover at least four to five territories that are under complete control of enemy organizations…."
Sam went on to explain his plan and the other just listened quietly.
"You seemed to have done this before."
"Many times, In fact, my organization must even be doing this now as we speak."
"You are eviler than you look."
"I never claimed to be a good guy, to begin with."
"Alright, then suggest this too. What should be the first organization that we should be targeting?"
"Which clan leader has the most inflated ego?"
All four of them looked at each other and gave out one answer.
"Bain clan."
"Then that is your target.
People with Big Egos are easier to explode. Go and pick on this guy."
"You didn't even like me, why are you advising me now?" The clan's leader asked.
"Opinions are not permanent."
That is all Sam said and left.
He is currently on a peg leg and is walking away.
"You can have your limbs made by the artisan department of the clan. One of them is still alive and he is a really good worker."
"No, I will wait. Traditional artisans would find it hard to get the concept of the limbs. I will find one myself. Don't worry. Thanks for the offer though."
He didn't even turn back as he answered and went to meet the kids in Saran's residence.
"So, how are you doing? How is your wife holding up."
