26 Planning An Attack
Then Hammed turned to the kid and asked: "What's your name little one?"
"I really don't have a name sir, since I was born, I live in the streets with nobody for me." He responded.
"Would you like to be my direct disciple and come with me to my power?" Hammed questioned.
"Of course, this junior greets master." The kid said as he bowed to Hammed.
"Stand up, from now on, you shall be known by Alex, direct disciple of Hammed Lords." Then Hammed made a diagram in the air and told him to drop blood into it to form a blood oath between them, so that one didn't betray each other in the future.
After everything was done, the trio and the new recruited 10 members got in the boat and navigated in Heaven Conquering Island's direction.
...
As they got there, Hammed, Rafael and Leonard taught them the rules and the point system. After that, they passed down cultivation and fight techniques to them, such as a simplified version of the bloodline cultivation technique. Hammed gave Alex the same version he past to Rafael and Leonard and the taught him some selected cultivation techniques.
Time pasted and the trio started to spread their power's name, offering assassination services, and in just a decade, their power was a well know assassination organization of the sub-world, feared and respected buy many.
In this period of time, the island also flourished with new members, all of them orphans, totally loyal to the organization. The first ten disciples already were core members and had fame as assassins, specially Alex, that with a Low Essence Plane Realm cultivation took life's of Peak Essence Plane Realm experts like they were grass, and was known as Imortal Shiningami.
In this meanwhile, Hammed's group cultivation also soared, as the three of them were already passing through the Heaven's Three Tribulations, walking down the path to become a Sovereign.
...
One more day at the Beast Island, a young man, about 18 to 20 years old walked out of the core of the island, missing a arm and carrying a giant beast corpus with the other. If one payed attention to the missing arm, one would see that it was actually growing back at a visible speed.
Obviously, it was Alex, Hammed's direct disciple. Although he had this special position, there weren't to much advantages. He had to fight like every body else for resources and his master just placed him in the right way in cultivating, the rest was on him.
After collecting his points and trading for some Peak Essence Stones and pills, his Communication Button glowed as his master voice appeared in his head:
"Alex, please come to the Secret Elder Chamber for us to discus a matter."
"Yes master." He responded and he immediately headed to the chamber's locations.
As he got into the chamber, all the important figures of the sect were reunited there. People like second and third patriarchs Rafael and Leonard, some loyal Elders recruited by them, and some capable core members like himself.
Hammed was sitting in the higher chair with Leonard and Rafael at his right and left.
"We're here today to discus a important matter for the sect's future. As all people present know, from the start, are sect's goal is to form a country and later a empire in the continent, but we were to weak in the past."
"However, now days, we have accumulated a big force and conquered lots of nearby islands. Now it's time to make preparations for the continent. Through some years of research and infiltration, I've been studying a good target at the land."
"And that target is the Lesser Tiger Clan. Although they aren't powerful, they're to arrogant and chose not submit to any major force, making them vulnerable. So, we discussed and decided to take their land for us!"
"What opinion do you guys share?" Hammed asked to the crowd.
Nobody demonstrated negative reviews about the decision, knowing the other power's strength and their strength, so everyone nodded confirming their approval.
"So I declare that the battle ships shall be prepared and that those with a High Essence Sea Realm cultivation or higher shall be present in the beach in three days to depart for the war. As for the protection of the sect, don't worry, everything has been arranged."
When Hammed said this, he was referring to a technique he unlocked recently from the Sacred Scripture of Creation. It was a clone technique that formed a clone with 80% of his fighting ability. After cultivating it, he passed it to Leonard and Rafael to. So now, their sect had three more backbones to support it.
As the three days passed, the men were divided into battle squads according to there familiarly were each other, with a core member being the leader. As for the power houses, they would be responsible of fighting the enemy elites.
Like this, ten colossal battle ships departed from the Main Island in direction the the coast of the Lesser Tiger Clan.
A thing one has to know is that theses ships and lots of armors and weapons were found in the secret deposits from the Sea Hydra Clan that Rafael and Leonard discovered back then.
...
About a week later, from the coast of the Lesser Tiger Clan, one could see a black line coming in their direction in the horizon.
In the ship, Hammed was passing the last instructions and battle strategies. Like they wouldn't attack the mist cities present in the clan's territory since the land would be theirs and money was needed to maintain a power, and this money came from the cities, although there were some branches of the Inter-race Merchant Company that couldn't be offended.
As the Art of War said, when in war, one should not destroy all the land and country if possible, but the enemy, trying to capture and make surrender as much as possible so that one didn't pay a great prize for the victory.
