Chapter 488: Insanity (2/2)
That was why he understood the urgency of this meeting.
Kai thought for a moment and asked, ”If I were to meet this true ruler… What is our chance in defeating France's Prime Minister?”
”Eighty percent. Sweden has been preparing for everything this whole time and only waits for the right time to strike. And since you've got a great interest in this matter, they're planning to make their move soon.”
”Fair enough.” Kai nodded. ”In that case, I will do it. What is the plan you get and what is our time limit?”
Arnaud then opened the map and pointed at Lithuania. ”Because of the current invasion, I'm planning to send you here to become their reinforcement. The reason why I chose Lithuania is due to its location. First, I wanted to send you to Sweden, but you couldn't go through Denmark.
”Hence, I changed my plan. The current plan is to have you go to this place and go around, passing Latvia, Estonia, Finland and finally arriving in Sweden.”
Kai agreed without hesitation since it was better than sending him to the south or southeast, where their main battlefield was. However, he still didn't have confidence in going around with the time limit and asked, ”What is the time limit? Is there any restriction?”
”The time limit is two weeks. The restriction… I'm afraid you can't go by vehicle. In other words, you need to go around by foot.”
”That's an insane request you have there.” Kai frowned as his expression turned serious. ”If it's only a one-way trip, I may probably be able to do it.”
”I know that, but this is the only way.” Arnaud sighed.
Kai looked down and crossed his arms, contemplating his plan. He then remembered that he had the ability to control the Magical Beasts. Although it wasn't every single one of them, he should be able to use them to go around.
The problem would be Finland. There was no way he could show it there, so he asked, ”How about Finland? Do I need to conceal myself there too?”
Arnaud had a pained expression but still nodded his head.
”You're indeed asking too much of me.” Kai shook his head helplessly while zooming the map. He then pointed at the small island above Latvia or West to Estonia.
”If this doesn't work, I'm going to make you accountable for it.” Kai sighed and offered an insane solution. ”I'm going to use this island.”
”Huh?” Arnaud was confused by his choice before he dropped his jaw to the ground, unable to comprehend whether Kai had gone crazy or not. ”You… You're not going to say you want to cross the sea, right?”
”Yes. That's my plan.” Kai shrugged.
”Are you insane?”
”You're the one who makes me.” Kai yawned and said, ”Anyway, I'm going to use this island and go straight to the west to rest on this small island called Gotska Sandon National Park before arriving at Stockholm.
”This way, I can arrive there in three days. Using the same amount of time to go back, I will probably spend another three days in Sweden. The remaining five days will be used to work my ass in Lithuania.”
”You…” Arnaud was speechless as he couldn't even rebuke him. What he said defied logic, but Kai himself couldn't go along with logic. Hence, he thought Kai must have the power to cross the sea even though he would be swarmed by an army of fishes and any other sea creatures.
Their number was far higher than those in the sky. That was why aviation was there while no ship dared to venture to the sea.
”Anyway, I have given you my plan. No matter how insane it is, it's your job to trust me. Tell that true ruler to meet me there or we can pretend that this conversation has never happened. And… You also need to make an excuse for me to leave Lithuania and venture alone. There's no way the soldiers won't realize I'm missing for nine days.” Kai shrugged and patted Arnaud's shoulder before walking away. ”That's it. I'm going to prepare for the incoming trip.”
”I don't know if you still have common sense, but trust huh…” Arnaud was speechless, wondering whether he or even the true ruler could trust Kai's insane method.
