113 Chapter 113: War Plans (2/2)
”I need you to figure out which clan heads are loyal and those who aren't, naturally, as a beautiful woman, you have an advantage with charming. No physical contact is needed, those that are abnormally resistant are probably the traitors while those who are okay with it are more probable in being loyal” Caesar ordered with a strange voice to which Ahri tilted her head while Musashi frowned deeply.
”Why would the traitors be resistant, wouldn't it be the other way around?” Ahri asked, not bothered by Caesar's order in the slightest. She was very faithful and had no qualms about faking a few seductive glances at some men as long as it helped Caesar in the long run. However, if she was required to touch them in any way, she wouldn't hesitate to decline.
”From my understanding, the spies and traitors have some sort of device that lets the mastermind look, hear, and talk into… if you were a traitor, and you knew the thing your faction wanted most was right in front of you, but you were being watched, would you still take it?” Caesar asked a question instead of answering.
Ahri nodded her head in understanding, ”I see, I'll just get them drunk on flame nectar and grant them a few frivolous glances… that should be enough” Ahri said after a few moments of thought. She was very aware of the power a woman held when it came to seduction, it was possible for a beautiful woman to make even the strongest men wag their tails in front of them.
”Oi, oi, oi, what are you ordering my precious granddaughter to do? What if those scummy clan heads overpower her?” Musashi suddenly butted in the conversation with a loud voice.
”I assure you that Ahri is stronger than those measly clan heads, however, I have already taken precautions, I figured you would wait in a room nearby to barge in if anything were to go awry” Caesar said in a soothing tone, he didn't want Ahri to do this either, alas, he had to put aside his personal feelings if he wanted to win the war.
Musashi huffed and begrudgingly sat back down in his chair with crossed arms… Because of this, the atmosphere in the room lightened up a bit and everyone became more comfortable.
Once everyone clearly understood their roles, Caesar nodded in satisfaction and sat at the table while stroking his chin.
”If the three of you are capable, I want you to go out every night from now and recruit weaker clans, don't worry about food, most of the small clans, from my understanding, prioritized farming instead of hunting, unlike the fox-kin, they should have their own large stock of food”
The three nodded their heads with solemn expressions, ”what if they don't have any coordination with us in battle? Won't they do more harm than good,” Soka asked with a sly smile.
Caesar smiled in response, ”you're correct on the presumption they aren't coordinated, alas, I plan to have a clan-wide training session every day for the next two weeks… naturally, our allies will be invited” Caesar replied.
Soka giggled strangely and went back to fiddling with his wooden daggers, he was a strange fellow.
*clap*
Caesar suddenly clapped his hands, ”that's it for today's meeting, I expect great results from you…” he signaled the end of the meeting and everyone stood up from their chairs and walked out besides Ahri and Musashi.
Once the three of them were alone, Caesar put his feet on the desk and looked at the ceiling, ”Musashi, I want you to obtain some information detailing the approximate head count of all the fox-kin men capable of fighting while also finding information on how much enemy trolls there really are. knowledge is power, after all” he added.
”Very well, that can be arranged” Musashi responded.
After he replied, Musashi stood up from his chair and headed toward the door with Ahri in tow, before leaving, he glanced at Caesar was still sitting alone in the room, ”look, I'm sorry about the girls fate, I wish I could've saved her sooner” he said with an apologetic tone.
”Don't be sorry, it was more of a wake-up call than anything… does Joe know of the lass's demise?” Caesar abruptly asked.
”I don't believe so” Musashi answered back with an unsure voice.
”Good, keep it that way” Caesar replied to which both Musashi and Ahri nodded their heads and left the room, leaving Caesar alone.
Caesar, who was now alone in the room, leaned back in his chair and peered down at the elegant nails on his slender fingers whilst whispering in a quiet voice… ”I didn't even get to know the girl's name,” he said gently.
