Chapter 711: The Battle of alliances part 3 (2/2)

Secondly, there is only a low possibility that they will become canon fodders for the alliance of the major independent Guilds, as there are only three-player differences between the two alliances. If the latter really thought of pulling such a stunt, then they wouldn't mind being eliminated together, which can definitely cause a lot of trouble on their side.

Last but certainly not least, they are not people from the Noble Households in the Emerald Tree Kingdom, nor are they even in any sort of way related to any of them. Instead, they are members of Guilds as well. As such, it is much more beneficial for them if the alliance of the major independent Guilds would owe them a favor.

In spite of such an unfavorable situation on their side, Edgar Pierce's expression still didn't change, implying that he was utterly unaffected by Emir's and Enos' potential cooperation to fight against his alliance. He said, ”I must admit that choosing Emir's alliance is indeed much more beneficial for your alliance, Enos. As a matter of fact, there is nothing better than choosing to be on their side. And if I were in your shoes, even I would also choose to do that,”

”See that, Eben Nero?” Enos looked at Eben Nero with an insulting look on his face. He explained, ”That's the reason why the Pierce Noble Household is the strongest major Noble Household in the Emerald Tree Kingdom! Just look at him, he knows when to move forward, and he also knows when to take a step back and accept defeat!”

”Defeat?” Edgar Pierce asked in disbelief before letting out a hysterical laughter. It was as if he had just heard the most hilarious and ridiculous joke that he had ever heard in his entire life living in the Celestial World.

”Look, Edgar Pierce could even just laugh his defeat off as if it is merely nothing for him. I recommend that you should learn a thing or two from...” Enos was unable to finish his line as he shockingly noticed that Edgar Pierce was already right in front of him with a sword pointed towards his neck.

Observing closely, Enos noticed that there is only a one-inch gap in between the tip of Edgar Pierce's sword and his neck right now, making him gulped down a mouthful of saliva, which he regretted for a short bit of time as he saw his Adam's apple slightly moving closer to the sword for a moment.

”Enos, do you happen to know why exactly we are called the Pierce Noble Household?” Edgar Pierce asked with a wide grin on his face.

”I...” Enos doesn't know how he should respond to Edgar's question, fearing that he would accidentally get himself killed if he said something wrong.

Seeing that Enos was unable to say any proper word out of fear, thus Edgar Pierce chose to do the honor of answering his very own question himself, ”That is because all members of our Noble Household are trained to use any type of bladed weapons from a very young age. I don't think you know this, but some of us even started learning despite only being one to three years old. And that's not all, because even after awakening our potential to become Mages, we still train in the art of bladed weapons, including this sword I am holding right now if you know what I mean,”

Edgar Pierce inched forward his sword, which created a tinny tiny wound on Enos' neck, where little droplets of blood could soon be seen oozing out from it and dropping onto the collar of the armor he is wearing. He then muttered softly, ”If only it wasn't because killing someone while in the middle of a conversation is a shameful action for us Elves, then I assure you that your body would have long already been lying on your own pool of blood right now,”
