The fact that someone that is almost on par with Eldritch has helped the other side meant that they must have wanted something in return. Mariposa did not know who that other person was as she died before even putting up a good fight, but she remembered being affected by heavy miasma that came from a follower of the dark god.

“That player will not be in their camp right now, right?” Adrian asked as it will be a different ballpark if there are still remnants of the followers of the dark gods in the enemy camp.

“They should not be here as they appeared about two months in-game time for the last war. I know that we could get other troops in the war, but I did not expect that the other side would actually side with the dark gods or perhaps the Plantae have something that the dark gods want.” Mariposa stated but she could only speculate what the followers of the dark gods wanted in exchange.

“If that is the case then we can just sneak inside without much difficulty. As long as you know of the area where that Compound Eye Orb is being held then we could retrieve it. We might not need to fight our way if the place is not defended by something.” Adrian stated which made Mariposa wonder about his confidence.

Adrian then explained that they could sneak inside of the place where the Compound Eye Orb is held by Sirius’ ability to bend the shadows to his will. They will basically be able to sneak inside undetected as long as the area they will traverse is not blasted by intense light that shadows could not manifest. .𝒎

Mariposa liked the idea and she immediately pointed to the direction of where she can sense the Compound Eye Orb. It seems that every Insectoid could detect the orb as it is sending continuous unique soundwaves into its surroundings that only insectoids could pick up via their antennae.

Mariposa stated that the Compound Eye Orb will be sealed in a special cocoon if it is not being used. It has the effect of giving great power to the Insectoids that are close to it, but they lost it due to the betrayal of one of the Insectoids. It seems that the only reason they lost is due to one of the moth like Insectoid’s betrayal.

The Insectoids would not have fallen that easily since they used the Compound Eye Orb but that was also what the Moth Insectoid wanted. Her aim was the Compound Eye Orb so that she will be amplified by its powers, but she was betrayed by the followers of the dark gods that she trusted.

The Plantae Queen did not like that the Compound Eye Orb will end up in the hands of another Insectoid thus she told the followers of the dark gods to kill their inside man the moment that her guard was down. Just like what the Plantae Queen wanted, the inside man was killed, and the Compound Eye Orb is taken by them as a prize for their victory.

It seems that the Moth Insectoid that died did not fully trust the Plantae and the followers of the dark gods as well since she never told them about the unique properties of the Compound Eye Orb. In the end, the Compound Eye Orb is not without reach but cannot be easily retrieved.

The Insectoids have great camouflage abilities, but they pale in comparison when compared to the Plantae. Any attempt that they made in retrieving the Compound Eye Orb has gone to dust as they would be ambushed as soon as they step foot in the stronghold of the Plantae.

Mariposa already attempted to breach the stronghold of the Plantae with a scout job class player, but they were also unsuccessful since the monster plants are very sensitive to heat and movement. No matter if they become invisible, they will always be detected in the end.

Mariposa brought Adrian to the stronghold of the Plantae where the Compound Eye Orb is being held. The whole fort is actually made of thorny trees entangled together. Mariposa said that the magic of the Plantae could mutate plants for a specific duration, but the Plantae Queen could turn ordinary plants into monster plants.

Her touch could also bring the dead plants back to life, but she needs a source of life force in return. She would often use the life of her prisoners of war for her beloved babies. This is one of the reasons why the Insectoid race and the Plantae would never reconcile as the Plantae Queen already shed much blood of the Insectoids.

“Greater Summon: Sirius.” Adrian stated as he already summoned the soulbound that he will need for te operation.

“Greater Summon: Kanlaon” Adrian stated as he summoned Kanlaon which made Mariposa a bit confused.

“I thought that we only needed Sirius for this operation?” Mariposa asked.

“We do but we also need someone to create a disturbance in an area that is a bit far from here. Kanlaon will set fire on that area there where the entrance to the treasury is farthest from. We need to bring as many guards there as possible so that we could escape should there be an unexpected situation to arise.” Adrian stated which Mariposa agreed.

Adrian told Kanlaon to initiate the Rain of Ice and Fire in the area that he designated. Sirius then immediately shrouded Adrian and Mariposa with his shadows and they melted into the darkness. The commotion of a huge dragon flying in their stronghold got the attention of the Plantae.

Kanlaon immediately started his assault as she rained shards of ice or balls of fire on the ground without much thought. He just needs to create as much disturbance as possible as the only thing that the Plantae lack is a flying unit.

The commotion is a success as some of the guards of the stronghold left.. They did not notice a dark shadow slipping into their treasury as we speak.
