Chapter 657 Easy Problem

When Roland teleported back to the Realm of Devils, he found that the atmosphere was indeed stiff.

There were clearly two factions on the two sides of the wall.

From Roland’s perspective, the players, who were on the left side, seemed to be in a mess, but their camps were arranged in a certain pattern. Many succubi were flying in the sky. Even more were chatting with the players all ladylike.

On the right side was the camp of the Guardians of Light, which was purely white.

Their tents were white, and so was their armor.

Only the armor of the Saint Samurai was bright gold, but it wasn’t discernible in the ocean of white.

After Roland arrived, he landed in the players’ camp.

Although he was closer to Schuck, Schuck, as a Saint Samurai of the Church of Light and the commander of the expedition army, had a very sensitive identity at a moment like this.

If he were to meet Schuck recklessly, the players might change their opinion on F6.

Roland had been the center of F6 most of the time, so he entered the battle meeting center as the chairman of F6.

After seeing Roland, the people in the meeting room instantly stopped arguing. Some chairmen of small guilds were even blowing whistles.

“Finally, a man whose word carries weight is here. However, it’s true that big shots tend to arrive late.”

The man sounded rather cynical and sarcastic. Roland looked at him and found that he didn’t know him at all. The man was displayed as LV9 on the system and he wasn’t a Master.

As the strongest Mage in the whole server, Roland had always been modest. He wouldn’t admit it when other people complimented him saying how strong he was. However, the case was different now that someone was mocking him to his face.

Roland simply stared at him in silence. A moment later, the other people in the conference room stared at him with Roland.

Everybody who had been to elementary school could see what was going on, including both the onlookers and those involved.

“Sorry, I spoke too much. Please continue, sir.”

The man immediately chickened out.

He was only testing Roland and seeing if he could provoke him. He did it out of jealousy, but he wasn’t an idiot. It wouldn’t be a good thing if the F6 targeted him later.

There were three influential men among F6, namely Roland, Schuck, and Betta.

Roland was a Master Mage that was close to the Hollevin Association of Mages and somewhat related to the royal family. Schuck was quite unbelievable, too, as the commander of more than a hundred thousand soldiers.

As for Betta, who was the legit lord of Wetland City, he had the power to exile anyone on his territory.

The three of them all had unbelievable power and influence. If they were infuriated, a small guild of only dozens of members couldn’t possibly withstand their wrath.

Seeing that the man chickened out, Roland ignored him and sat down on a chair around the table in the middle.

Seeing that Roland sat down, Solisa slapped the table and said, “Roland, you’re finally here. This is a serious problem. How is F6 going to handle this?”

Everybody looked at Roland.

Because Schuck was the commander of the Guardians of Light, there was still room of negotiation between the Guardians of Light and the players.

“Is this being streamed?” Roland looked around and saw a lot of acquaintances, so he asked.

Solisa nodded. “Of course, this thing is deeply related to all players, as well as our diplomacy with a major force. All the players have the right to be informed.”

“All right.” Roland considered for a moment. He would’ve put it in a different way if the meeting wasn’t streamed, but since it was, he had to change the way he talked although he was expressing the same thing. “Then let me tell you the truth. Schuck is trying to keep the expedition army from attacking. He also hopes to find a solution that both parties can accept.”

Wa

“He’s a Saint Samurai, yet he doesn’t even have full control over an expedition army. He’s probably new to the Church of Light and hasn’t established his own connections and forces.” One of the chairmen sighed. “He still needs more time.”

It seemed to be a fair statement, but it actually erased all of Schuck’s hard work.

Also, since the meeting was being streamed, many people would have a bad impression of Schuck.

Although the players were generally decent, there was still intense competition among them. Many people would subconsciously criticize others after they graduated from school, whether they were ambitious politicians or corporate employees.

“We’re talking about the Guardians of Light in a crusade. They’ve been instructed to kill all the devils they see,” Roland said casually. “Schuck is already respected enough to stop those zealots from killing. He has done what would’ve taken other people one or two decades. We can’t be too demanding on him.”

All the guild chairmen were smart. After Roland said that, they realized that the two of them had a secret confrontation just now.

Many people in the stream channel exclaimed, “Is this the art of communication between the big shots? They’re both so shrewd.”

Many netizens and players who didn’t understand what happened quickly asked them.

Solisa heaved a sigh. “Enough, you should stop such drama. Even the women don’t do this anymore!”

Roland shrugged.

The chairman who just spoke chuckled helplessly.

In fact, he only said that instinctively. It couldn’t be helped. It was already in his DNA after staying for a long time in an international corporation.

Moogle picked it up and asked, “Roland, what are Schuck’s requirements?”

“He can temporarily suppress the expedition army’s desire to eliminate the succubi, but not for long. So, he wants us to propose a reasonable plan.” Roland paused and said, “We can either kick the succubi away or move them to the main plane.”

“It’s rather tricky,” Moogle said rather helplessly. “The players from many guilds will riot if the succubi are kicked away. Now, almost every player has one succubus. Some even have more.”

Solisa put on an awful expression. She looked around at the males disdainfully as if they were all maggots.

Roland sniffed too.

He wasn’t judging those people; he simply felt that they were too fast.

“Then we can move them to the main plane.” Charles from the Cornucopia was also here. He looked at Roland and continued, “It’s just several dozen thousand succubi anyway. They’re nothing compared to the five billion human beings in the main plane.”

“It’s not that simple.” The chairman of Moon Shadow waved and said, “I study sociology in reality. The succubi will be a major shock to the institution of marriage and ethics if they appear in the main plane. More importantly, unlike the Warlocks, we have no way to restrain them. They’re truly friendly to players right now, but in the main plane, they can invoke competition between dozens if not hundreds of people with their charm. They might even trigger a massive fight.” Well… Everybody felt that it did make sense.

“Also, more importantly, nobody can guarantee that those succubi won’t betray us after they come to the main plane,” Solisa said. “Neither can you guarantee that the people of the Church of Life and the Church of Life won’t kill the uncontracted succubi in the main

plane.”

Everybody felt a strong headache.

“So, neither choice works. What do we do?” Moogle heaved a sigh and said, “The devils are truly cunning. They’ve alienated and divided us with only one move.”

Everybody was slightly depressed.

Roland coughed and said, “I’ve heard your ideas and suggestions. You’re saying that if the succubi are contracted, it will solve the problem, right?”
