All About Blood Moon. [part 1]
“More reasons why you have to be more serious about this!” Agnes argued back.
"Like I said, you don't have to worry, Number one, I shall be leading the vanguard of our attacks like usual, against whichever creature we have to face this ti," Alec said as he began laying down his plans for the attack.
"Brandon will stay in the middle with Knight, Brandon's job is to kill any creature we miss or those that attack from the sides, while Knight's job will be to protect Agnes, our magician, with his shadow elent."
"Or to eliminate any threat he feels he can handle in ti before they beco a danger, So, Knight is our only assassin for this round, while Brandon will be our sub attacker."
"Agnes and Arthur will lead the remaining Tier 1 warriors of the Gordon family behind us, Arthur, I know you're happy that you now have armor and feel that you don't have to defend with your magic like you used to since you want to be a full attacking force."
"But I have a selfish request to ask again, Please help
prevent anyone from dying from our family," Alec said, looking straight into Arthur's eyes.
"Only the Tier 1 babies, though," Arthur replied.
"Of course, only the Tier 1 babies we are responsible for, If anyone else wants to die, they are free to, I'm not going to watch after so Tier 2 mage who won't even listen to my orders, So, I will mobilize the ones I can," Alec said.
"You're talking as if you both are not a Tier 1 baby yourselves " Agnes retorted, but Arthur and Alec decided to ignore her and act as if it wasn't important.
"So, I'm your tank?" Arthur asked.
"You learn fast, brother!"
Alec exclaid, he was happy that the ones he considered family were quickly learning from all the fantasy stories he had been telling them.
"Well, even if your formation sounds bland and risky, as long as Legion and Titan can hold the vanguard position with your puny spearn golems, I suppose we could survive this blood moon with fewer casualties," Agnes couldn't help but acknowledge Alec's plan.
"Oh, believe
when I say we won't just be defending, We will be counterattacking with all of our forces," Alec said with a smirk.
Agnes and Knight were still unaware of the other evolved golems that Alec had, and he also had no interest in telling them either.
It wasn't that he didn't believe them; he just wanted to keep most of his cards hidden as he was still unaware of who was trying to assassinate him.
Even if his grandfather told him to forget about it, there was no way Alec would forget an attempt on his life that fast.

Alec and his gang of siblings made their way to the patriarch's mansion as they were ready to report for duty.
Alec went in ahead of them and saw that many other mages from the Clan were already there and waiting.
The mont they entered, the eyes and attention of everybody turned towards them instantly.
"Since you are all here, I shall start my speech now,"
a deep and grave voice was heard, Alec and his gang looked ahead and saw the Grand Elder standing at the platform where the patriarch was supposed to be, with his uniquely designed staff.
He gently tapped his staff on the ground, and the whispering in the room imdiately died down.
"I apologize for doing it like this, but I really need all of your attention," the Grand Elder said.
Agnes started sweating internally, She always knew that tagging along with Alec would bring trouble, but she was not aware that she would beco a potential offender in the eyes of the Grand Elder so fast like this after she choose to start accompanying alec.
She kept wondering why he always wasted ti and never left on ti.
The grand elder was soone everyone tried to stay away from and not offend, He was as mysterious as ever.
Not only was he the father of the seventh elder, Draco, but he was also the second brother of the Patriarch of the Gordons family.
He was the only one who could say no to the Patriarch in the whole clan, as his position was unshakeable.
The only thing that crossed Agnes' mind at that mont, was that she had just landed herself on his bad side by being late to the eting.
She could feel the man's stare on them, making her even more nervous than she already was.
"You don't have to act so scared when you see , you know, And don't worry, I don't bla your team for being the last to reach here. After all, it's your first blood moon battle, so I can understand if you all are a little nervous," the Grand Elder said, as he assud they have been nervous, this put Agnes mind at ease as she sighed in relief.
"Now, to the main topic, You are all here because we have chosen to send you all to participate in this blood moon that is about to occur in a few hours, I want you to know sothing: this ssage is for the noobs actually, but it is also of great importance to the experienced hunters," the Grand Elder continued.
"The blood moon always happens once every month, on the very last day of each month, It is the ti when the creatures from the second dinsion are at their strongest , and also the day when the spatial barrier blocking the gateway between our worlds becos lax."
" So they always use this opportunity to open a space portal to our world and commit all sorts of unforgivable atrocities—killing, plundering, and more. But you know what?, They were restricted at first because humans were weaker than them when they first invaded in an attempt to conquer our world."
"So, five ancient clan monarchs from back then ca together to seal a curse on both worlds under a contract to face the Abyss once per month, so anyti the blood moon occurs, we can gauge its intensity and send warriors of the corresponding grade to fight against the creatures of darkness from the second dinsion."
"Therefore, whenever a blood moon occurs, the curse cos into effect, And now, the grade of this attack is a weak mid-tier horde, That ans the worst we could be facing would be a Tier 6 creature from the second dinsion," the grand elder explained, causing many people to gasp at the newly revealed information.
They may have had so knowledge about the blood moon, but nothing as informative as this.
It was clear that the grand elder was still hiding more information, and they were not aware of why he was telling them this.
But they felt that whoever the ssage was intended for was receiving it, Arthur and Agnes at the back both realized that this ssage was ant for Alec and themselves.
