t
In the Mansion of Secrets
One of Sila's living roo room for the Wicked Union's core members Presently in the roo the Mountain Thieves League—Beluga, Elso, and Nednapha—and two o
The five of the with serious expressions on their faces Sitting alone at the end of a table was Hong Tong, who came as the representative of the Victorious Wolves Sect He placed down many black invitation cards for the Mansion of Secrets on the table They were the cards Sila had issued to the members of Victorious Wolves Sect anted to use his dojo to transs
It was a clear display of Lone Wolf's will He and his guild seeked to withdraw from the alliance
Cross slammed the table heavily Such simple wooden furniture couldn't resist the strike, so it broke into a large amount of debris as if it was cut into pieces by psychic blades The invitation cards were torn apart by the sah In fact, they didn't evenpolitely replied, “Mister Lone Wolf didn't betray the union He has just become aware of his standpoint and realized his hts and conflicts, and plans to give his support and protection to players who aren't interested in the war He doesn't intend to join the Heavenly Dragon Guild”
“Heh! Even if he doesn't join thereatly reduces our forces How does it differ froestured to stop Cross and turned to Hong Tong “We don't constrain anyone From now on, we'll discuss the Wicked Union's next courses of action Since Lone Wolf has left the union, you are not welco nodded as his body faded away, contrary to his growing feelings of conflict The news he brought would cause many problems for the Wicked Union If the probleht fall apart even before the war starts
Cross had been briefly infora, and he honestly thought that the afore was ridiculous Virtue is an abstract concept For Cross, it was just a mere ithout any worth
“So damn pointless So he quit because he didn't want people to see hia could stillin this kind of situation “What if it were you, Cross? If your subordinates exploited your fame as the Sword Emperor to commit a crime, ould you do?”
Cross replied without a moment of hesitation “I'll let others know that it was h you actually didn't?”
“Certainly” Cross was resolute in his reply “I'uy rather than an incompetent commander who can't control his own atively in the long run Well, the involved subordinates will still be punished, si, “That uild as an army It's the reason Montra is e where you shi+ne the brightest On the other hand, Lone Wolf views his guild as a group that is dedicated to shared purposes, like—”
“Heh Lone Wolf's fan club, is it?” Cross nagged
Beluga threw a sroup of friends Well, your definition also works Since he felt he was a subject of idolization, he felt a heavy sense of responsibility, and that led to hiuildmates' mistakes Everyone has their own beliefs Don't bla this kind of critical ti himself to practice in his bedroom, sirs” Out of nowhere, Julia suddenly appeared, a broom in her hand She used it to sweep the debris and shredded paper Apparently, noas you were in the mansion you wouldn't be able to detect her presence at all The members had been startled at first, but by this point they were ? At this kind of tile person can't win a war by hi this tia didn't coe the flow of the war though The stronger the general is, the ree? I heard that you, too, are nurturing a certain player to becorinned “I really wonder how a chuckled “Our people lurk everywhere Well, I can retract the order if you don't like it”
“No need The uy's level is still low and his fighting ability is subpar Nevertheless, his co ability and leadershi+p can't be overlooked at all I have to get this kind of person into uild no matter what”
“He is the kind of vice-leader you always dreaht The other vice-leaders are too unreliable They needed le tihed, as did everyone else They were trying to joke around to reduce the tension in the room However, they eventually had to tackle the problehed “The ht now is hoe'll handle Lone Wolf He has a lot of intel about us and his are hile being paranoid over whether someone will stab me in the back”
Elso expressed his opinion, “I don't think Lone Wolf will bring harhed, concern written all over his face “No, Elso This tiree with Cross We can't leave this proble”
Elso frowned “Why? I don't understand Someone like Lone Wolf won't betray his friends”
Cross interrupted, “What if he is forced to choose?”
“What does that a's story, I've already figured out Lone Wolf's weakness If I'm Montra, I will find sosuyuan City This city ainst the raid However, I daresay that human shi+elds are the best and cruelest defense
“When we enter the city, invisible assassins will be hiding in thechaos and bla us Even e don't intend to harm unrelated players, it doesn't mean they won't attack us If it were me, I would send some of my men to incite people and cause a riot The a added, “The easiest method for us is to kill a few of the the more However, this th that is so superior that they think it's useless to fight back, otherwise, they will be roup up and rebel”
Cross continued as if he could read Beluga's mind, “The problesuyuan City and they have been protecting the city for so long If this kind of situation were to unfold, ordinary players will naturally ask the Victorious Wolves Sect for help Now Lone Wolf will have no choice Even if he doesn't want to fight us, he still has to do it for the sake of protecting his so-called innocent citizens As for the Heavenly Dragon Guild? They will just leisurely sit tight watching us fight each other, waiting until our forces have been worn down so they can strike us at our weakest moment It'll be their complete victory”
Nednapha opened her mouth for the first tia after he had caught her handling the guild's scandal without reporting hia did was caler to make up for her mistake
“I vote for us to crumble the Victorious Wolves Sect first However, that presents another probleon Guild's For us to win the war, there is a high chance that we have to seize twothe last, since they can always escape to other cities using the teleportation service they set up It's already difficult for us to divide our attention and forces between raiding Zhongsuyuan City and Siaferia City If we split it further to attack the Victorious Wolves Sect, the risk will be too ested Beluga
“What did you have in mind? Say it,” Cross asked He naturally had soiven their current nu the Victorious Wolves Sect members, all his plans becae to, and stay put when you actually intend to attack We'll trick the the Heavenly Dragon Guild's attention there At such a time, ill raid the Victorious Wolves Sect before they realize The next will be easy—”
Cross iued, “Easy? The one responsible for Siaferia City's side is us, the Royal Aruild still has no clue hoe should tackle thee”
Beluga put his hand into his pocket and tossed a certain item toward Cross “I won't send you on a suicide h”
Cross inspected the iteht and shone beautifully “What is this?”
“One of the Gehtfall Opal Based on my study, I found that it should be able to temporarily shut down Siaferia City's defensive mechanisms If their defenses were to suddenly shut down, they will naturally order an e that tireat iteh?”
“That hat I planned originally However, when considering that we have to take care of Lone Wolf too, everything changes”
Cross smirked “See? It's his fault in the end By the way, do you really dare to let me borrow this kind of precious itea sether Our enemy will reap benefits if we are wary of each other Let's just say you can have it if you want”
