Chapter 366 - Traitorous Act (1/2)
This is turning completely different from what he envisioned.
Wallace just found out that the Seiji and its allies were trying to negotiate with the Empire!
They were actually planning to attempt communicating with them and have some peace talks or perhaps even ally with them!
This is absurd!
”Avalon, can you clarify the information you got?”
[ Yes. As per your instructions, I monitored their actions and listened to their conversations secretly. Grand Sage Magnum, the leader of the Council of War, wanted to show off their real forces and power to the Empire… They will not try to attack them as they are planning to offer half of the continent to the Empire, as long as their countries would be under their wing. ]
To think that the nations of this land would have this grudge against another country that they are willing to sell the lands to an unknown species from outer space!
Wallace had truly underestimated the greed and selfishness of these people. He thought that it was enough for them to learn the cruelty of the aliens through the Virtual World game called Alien Invasion.
They've even seen Ace's battle in outer space!
However, instead of being afraid and joining forces with other nations, these people actually thought of joining the enemy to save themselves!
Wallace is expecting to watch the battle between the Seiji's forces and the Empire… He's planning to assist them once they realized that they couldn't fight them. But it seems that it wouldn't work like that…
He had to change his plans.
”Tell me… What should I do, Avalon?”
[ Same. Fight the Empire. ]
”Y-yeah… But do you think that the Empire will help them?”
With the advanced A.I.s of the Empire, they would surely easily learn the language of this world. As a matter of fact, they might even be aware of it already.
It means that communication would not be a problem between them…
[ Yes. However, they will just be used. Once they served their purpose, they will be eradicated or become slaves. It has always been like that. ]
”Thought so…”
Perhaps, the Empire would also take some good bodies of magicians to be sacrificed and experimented with… After all, it would be a perfect opportunity for them to capture an untainted sample since taking magicians through forceful means can be quite dangerous to their target as well.
”Haa~ They actually added to my problems… Should I just kill them?”
[ Good idea. But initiating an internal fight is not a good image. You can consider waiting for them to truly establish some connection then eliminate them in one go. We would also have time to prepare a stronger force… ]
Avalon suggested after considering many things. Well, he still has to respect the international laws even though they are in this crisis. If he's the one who's going to decide, he'll just ignore it and fight the empire with his full force without care to the other nation's opinion…
However, because the nations haven't fully realized the threat of their extinction that these aliens could literally do, the peace and order of these countries would just turn into chaos if he did things on his own without thinking of the boundaries of these nations.
He can't create more chaos now and deal with this one by one…
'Alright… Since you want to join the Empire, I'll let you… Good luck on that… However, once you joined them, you'll be considered as my enemy as well.'
Wallace closed his eyes and visualized the various scenarios that could happen once they attempted to negotiate with the empire.
