After settling on a plan, Xie Wen and the others did not act immediately. Instead, they waited quietly underground for nightfall.
Actually, Xie Wen could not quite understand why the Revolutionary Army had chosen to attack Saint Mary Geoise during the day in the manga. Acting at night would clearly have been better, both in terms of difficulty and the effectiveness of a surprise attack.
They had even specifically chosen the day of the Reverie, when Saint Mary Geoise's defenses were at their strongest...
Even if they needed the cover of the royal families attending the conference to enter Saint Mary Geoise, they could easily have waited until the conference ended, or at least until nightfall.
In short, it was baffling.
But with Xie Wen here this time, they naturally were not going to foolishly launch an attack in broad daylight.
As it happened, they could also use the wait to gather as much intelligence as possible in Saint Mary Geoise. Out of caution, however, they deliberately avoided Pangaea Castle, where Imu was hidden.
As the sky gradually darkened, the previously bustling Saint Mary Geoise...
Remained as noisy as ever.
Those Celestial Dragons were terrifyingly twisted. Torturing slaves alone was an "entertainment" that quite a few of them could keep up from morning until night, to say nothing of ordinary eating, drinking, and merry-making, which essentially never stopped.
Fortunately, most Celestial Dragons had never undergone any training, and their stamina and constitutions were on the weaker side even among ordinary people. As the night deepened, these scum finally grew tired and went to sleep one after another. Only a handful of particularly energetic Celestial Dragons were still "playing," and they could simply be killed silently when the time came.
"We can finally move! I can't wait to raise hell, meow!"
