Chapter 2773 Attack On Zarain
After Sacroria had been duly notified of all the signs that pointed to the existence of the
Ecclesiastic Order and the Esoteric Guild, Mr. X was confident that they would appear
soon.
However, the surprises were not over.
“They’d ransacked our armory?”
While he was still reeling from the first message, Mr. X received another alert.
“Forget the loss of our weapons! The Ecclesiastic Order and the Esoteric Guild have shown
themselves!”
All of a sudden, he froze as another possibility occurred to him. “Unless they stole our
weapons to be used against us?”
Feeling overwhelmed by that unsettling thought, Mr. X placed all of his hopes on Sacroria.
The theft of a large batch of weaponry is undoubtedly Levi’s doing. They can only guess
what horrors he has laid in wait for them.
At that very moment on the western coast of Zarain, the coast remained undisturbed as it
had been over the past weeks.
The Zarain faction was not anxious to make a move. The passivity of its commanders had

After weeks of inaction, they were beginning to relax.
The sentries could be seen standing about smoking cigarettes and drinking whiskey whilst
recalling to each other the conquests they had met at the bar.
Save for the rifles perched against the wall next to them, their languid manner did not
seem to hint at the imminence of war.
Detached to the reality of the war being fought miles away from where they stood, the
soldiers did not seem in a hurry to prepare themselves.
The fight wouldn’t extend over to this region, anyway.
They were not the only ones. The aristocrats of Zarain, too, behaved in a similarly
apathetic manner.
Even the news of the Diviniteria camp being assaulted barely concerned them.
Though Black Hawk and the other officials kept a close eye on the battle, they were more
relaxed than before after weeks of inactivity.
All we’ve been doing is sitting and waiting. We have no idea what the higher-ups are
thinking!
Aside from several curious officers who were still watching the battle more out of
amusement than vested interest, many of them did not bother to anymore.
The sentries of Zarain gazed at the coast with amusement as they loitered in the corners
to smoke and drink. “There is a war on the other side, and we’re here smoking cigars! I
hope the fight continues to stay this way.”
“I hope we get a ceasefire soon,” others said wistfully. “No good can come from fighting.”
Boom!
At that moment, the harbor on which they stood turned into dust from a blast of blue light.
The sentries who had been discussing their prospects only a moment prior were
disintegrated.
Boom!
To the horror of the sentries stationed on neighboring harbors, the unseen weapons from
across the horizon began firing in unison in the most brutal fashion upon the coast of
Zarain.
Within minutes, every harbor and every line of defense was annihilated as the Zarainian
forces were utterly unprepared.
The country soon descended into chaos.
Despite their initial indifference, the aristocrats and high-ranking officials were forced to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtake notice.
After watching their homes being destroyed before their eyes, the spectators were forced
to confront the reality of being forced to be active participants in the war.
Black Hawk and his men were reeling in shock in the command center.
“Mayday! Mayday! We are under heavy fire here on the west coast!”
“Mayday! We are under heavy fire here on the east coast!”
The cries for help across the coast came pouring in one after another.
The central command became flabbergasted at the relentless brutality of the attacks.
“Somebody is opening fire on Zarain!”
“Who? Who could be so brazen?”
“It has to be Diviniteria!” someone cried. The World Alliance is in a precarious position.
How would they have the time to launch an attack on us?
“That’s right! Aside from Diviniteria, who else would dare fight us?”
“It most definitely is Diviniteria!”
Despite the overwhelming conviction of his peers, Black Hawk’s thoughts turned to Levi.
Being familiar with his true power, he found it suspicious that Levi was still nowhere to be
seen given the extent of the war and Levi’s capacity to influence the battle.
First, the base camp of Diviniteria sustained a surprise attack. Almost immediately after,
the coastal strongholds of Zarain are under heavy fire. Levi must be orchestrating
something huge behind the scenes.
