Chapter 52: In Na chess against Su Chen
Actually, the pri chess was to further evaluate Su Chen’s character After all, the way a person played chess spoke volumes about their personality If this Su Chen tried to cheat in just a chess game, that meant that there was an issue with his sincerity
Unexpectedly, Su Chen had stoh the old Ancestor had a number of times
Thankfully, Su Chen didn’t believe that a person’s way of playing chess spoke volumes about their character In any case, he had taken control of the s with the Zhu Clan, so he wasn’t worried that they ave up on playing chess when he realized that he couldn’t beat Su Chen, and they resu their plan
Since their cooperation was now set in stone, all that remained was to settle on a concrete plan
This plan was not like when Su Chen took a risk and entered Ravager territory alone Now that a clan that had invested an ocean of resources into this venture was involved, they would be much less tolerant of such risky behavior Zhu Chenhuan wouldn’t accept Su Chen’s ga tendencies A practical, reliable plan was the only way to go
As such, the oldhi Fla yourself into a Harpy fe of a difference between aFlame Oriole is also the Gentle Voice Nest’s Sanskrit Chanter Who knohat other screening processes are at their disposal for the Sanskrit Chanters? If they ask you to use the Soul Staain, ill you do?”
It had to be said that the old ical
Su Chen was too radically different fro Flame Oriole in ter her identity would bring no shortage of trouble
“Let’s forget about trying to trick those Arcana Masters for now After all, even the Harpies can’t produce Arcana Masters like cabbages And even if you do successfully trick the yourself somewhere down the line So for safety’s sake, you would need to disguise yourself as a Harpy that the Gentle Voice Nest doesn’t recognize — that is, if you did decide to disguise yourself Only in this manner would they not be able to detect any proble et around the issue of a rando the broodmother?”
“Could you return the brood Fla captured has already spread” Zhu Chenhuan wouldn’t stop talking once he started
“That’s exactly what’s giving me a headache”
“You have a headache because you’re only considering your own feelings on theright now?”
“How the Harpies feel?” Su Chen was taken aback by this train of thought
“That’s right! You don’t really think that the Harpies would just give up on the brood so ht?”
Su Chen fell into deep thought when he heard Zhu Chenhuan’s words
He realized that he hadmistake in his view of the situation
While he had been fretting over a way to return the broodmother, he hadn’t realized that the Harpies were al of a way to recover the broodmother as well
When he realized this, Su Chen’s eyes lit up “Have the Harpies e movements recently?
Zhu Chenhuan chuckled “We heard a few days ago that the Harpies sent a diplo why those arrogant pricks would suddenly want to talk to us, but now I understand”
Su Chen chuckled “I’d iine they’ll make a trip to Flat Sky City as well”
“So you can see that this ht present itself without us even needing to do anything On the other hand, if we did try so thehed with sincere admiration
Old people really were quite shrewd With but a few sentences, he had ards to the proble the broodmother, it was better to be still than to be in ht opportunity to present itself
Of course, there were still many other proble plan slowly began to coether piece by piece
Purple Forest Stream was in a terrible mood
The Harpies didn’t actually have much of an eneopolitical disputes and disagreements over the division of natural resources These were quite co countries If there wasn’t some friction from tilecting their national interest On the other hand, the close proximity of the two countries made it so that if one party was involved in a conflict, the other would typically be dragged in as well
For this reason, the Harpies and Liaoye Country would sometimes cooperate, such as when they needed to deal with the Beasts
When to fight and when to hold back depended on each country’s situation, and Purple Forest Strea this decision
Of course, the situation he was facing noas slightly h he was the leader of this diplo the decisions
That was not uncon affairs alher-ups came up with the ideas and decided which relationshi+ps tothese orders out to fruition
The chief a chewed out
But the main issue was that he didn’t even knohat his realforced to carry this black pot for someone else[1 burden]
Yes, he didn’t know!
The individual tagging along in this diplooal of this mission and had only told him to quietly follow instructions
But look at the ave me!
“You must secure the diplomatic envoy freedom to do as they please in Flat Sky City The best would be for you to somehow seize some authority within Flat Sky City!”
Was the Harpy who had given him the order crazy?
Flat Sky City was at the center of Liaoye Country, and not near the border When had it ever been possible to take over a city that belonged to another country through purely political eopoliticalto insert themselves into the situation?
The political tactics of this era were quite sihts, secession, or any kind of historical fras up
