In ancient times, when tacticians face city lords that have requests of them, they will often phrase the situation in a way that make it seeh their lives may be lost anytime
Everyone have fears When one’s life is threatened, they would be extremely alert and careful When the city lords hear fro, they would uncover it to the end despite how much they don’t believe in it If they realize that they are in a precarious situation after an intensive interrogation, naturally, they will seek for a solution through the tactician
Then, the opinions of the tactician would beof the tactician would naturally rise through the ranks Following their rise in standing, their new opinions will beco their rise in power to be‘I accept the responsibility of leading the are of defeat In times of trouble, I will carry out my job’ probablyto do with the matter at hand, it is just a trick used by tacticians to beThe wiser the tactician is, the better they are at e this trick
“Master, please teachto this lady’s script, I should be shouting these words
After that, she would analyze forout and that as soon as we ainst the the notion that we are spies sent by the surface to destroy the Alliance fro others to be wary of us Then, they would personally attack us and force us to the corner By then, it would be too late to leave
But if it is just to this extent, they are really underestiot it, you stay with your sister for the tis to say”
“I…” Facing itated, with anxiety spelt on her face She see at the e the room helplessly
“Elisa”
“…”
“If you don’t coone”
“…Master, please pay es you owesuch words”
“Cough Elisa, what do you think of the present sent by the Dark Elves”
“Lord, this lasses, she says these words beside my ear, emotionless
“…Duh The kindness of the Dark Elves is as lacking as that lass’s chests I aon E is ‘the kindness of a Dark Elf is equally i of others isn’t a proper action for a gentleman that respects ladies If she were to hear your words, she would be depressed”
Even though she said these words, her tone obviously softened by 20
“But, from my personal view, her words are probably true”
“The reason?”
“Intuition”
“Hehe, intuition your head Don’t tell me that you haven’t received the report and analysis from ‘Observer’”
As a diplomat, it is impossible to survive blind and deaf in a land full of eneainst you
As soon as we entered the city, ence team ‘Observer’ immediately dispersed and started to collect infor of their work efficiency, all kinds of reports should be stacked up on Elisa’s desk by now
“… The Lion King and the Dragon Eht was quite intense Half of the Lion King Residence being destroyed isn’t a false news But it is precisely because of that we can be sure that they are definitely staging a show”
“Is it too fast? Too obvious? That’s right, there is still more than 20 days before the auction date, they could have researched it together Even if a fight were to blow up, it shouldn’t happen right now”
“No, it is just that if they really fell out, the Dragon E would have long stole the items and escaped But, the Scepter is still in the hands of the Lion King, which shows everything Further, it should the entire street around the Lion King Residence getting destroyed and not just the Lion King Residence itself This is just a show and if ere to really make a move, they would move on to make us the public enemy of the Alliance”
I nodded my head satisfied What Elisa said concurs hat I was thinking
From the very start, we, Sulfur Mountain City, is the ano the Alliance would not necessary be a good thing to the few current Underground Autarch, especially for the Lion King and Dragon Ee with us
I could collude with Kajah and Ainsterna and ht Scepter to divert firepoay from us But, Shou and Molly aren’t fools and the tacticians under them wouldn’t be so incapable to be unable to see the situation clearly Naturally, they won’t allow us to successfully join the Alliance, so it is almost an inevitable that ould face schemes and troubles
Even if this isn’t a trap, I only intend to contact Kajah and Ainsterna I never intended to get involved in it
We are the newco to any factions or powers It cannot be helped that people would be wary of us
If I were to take the initiative to attack the Dragon Empress, then they would only have to spread rumors that we are ambitious for power and that Adam is born on the surface We would be seen as eneets past a certain extent, coupled with the inciteround Autarchs, ould be exiled by the Alliance and even hunted down
“Obediently staying in our home base is the best decision? Hey, this really makes one feel so helpless”
“Yes, as the date of the auction and the Alliance Conference at the end of the year approaches, the burden on Shou will become heavier and heavier This would put us further away fro now and wait patiently That would be the most appropriate decision”
“Hehe, to pass the initiative to the opponents isn’t a good habit… Tell those fellows that they are granted the freedoet on the streets and cause asthey find an eyesore, feel free to interfere Show the as they don’t get bullied If they find someone they can’t defeat, call for support If they are still unable to settle it, return back to base I will handle it even if the sky falls”
Hearing that, Elisa gasps, shocked
“You are allowing those perverts to act as they please? Authorizing those single-celled Knights to go on the street to enforce the law? Let those devoted believers of law spread their teachings on the street? You do know that this city is different froht? If they were to fool about, it would definitely get to the point of no return Do you intend on destroying the whole Vance City?”
“The underground world respects the strong The voice of the on’t be heard I a my own actions to do ht those bastards here just to waste ineers to prepare the Roland series to move out Leave some pilots here to wait for orders so that they can reinforce the others at all tie the naot it Then, how should I deal with Victoria?”
“‘Wash her clean’ first”
“Alright, I ash her clean and tie her on your bed But, your physical condition doesn’t seeht not be able to enjoy her Do you need me to call some adult toy shops to purchase so around, you knohat I mean”
The kindness of Dark Elves? If you were to put these 2 together, the entire underground world just treats it as a joke The Dark Elves pride themselves on betrayal and lies, it would be weird if there’s nothing wrong with their present
But even if there’s a problem with Victoria, it isn’t like there is no solutions to it Since they sent over a living person, then shebomb that will explode at any moment What that coinalher with the life of her kin and such ic Contracts can be erased, the wires of the bo clean’ is a coe It means to force the person in question to confess all her secrets to see if she could be saved If there is a possibility to convert her over, then we’ll try to pull her as one of our people
