Chapter 685 - Assassin (2/2)
Eich was a cruel world—cruel to the point where centralized authority was the norht about by dictatorial govern else Politicians’ survival space would typically be limited to only those specialized countries
Any chaotic era would produce heroes All these years of war meant that countless new heroes would appear However, very few heroes would actually be able to leave their s in co about themselves for the sake of a certain purpose
As I watched Kakagar walk off, I recalled various people from my memories: Ayer, Aso, Orloss, and Estrada Each of theoals even conflicted with each other However, they all had soh none of them was around in the oals still re the future path of the world
“Sly Fox” Kakagar had also seen through everything, yet chose to give up on his country, apparently using his own e the future as well
The sly fox who had just been discussing his thoughts on politics transforarwhole-heartedly on his new role I kept feeling ar
“…Of course you underesti that you were going to punish hi off military resources that should have been et about that already just after a feords from him?”
Harloys’ words caused me to pause in surprise Indeed, nooff military resourcesThe Mist Alliance was issuing these anti-fire resources for the sake of coer had an ar the resources back to the allied ar off these resources? Hoe supposed to enforce military discipline if everyone acted like hiet it, this is a matter for the Mist Alliance military Why should I intervene?”
Still, I didn’t really care about Kakagar’s actions, because of the current issue on my plate
Just as some people used their “foolish actions” to cause the world to underesti their intelligence and lack of li inheritance from their ancestors From a certain standpoint, ever since the elves lost their last ruler of the old Elven Edo slyer and slyer politicians In fact, the political syste ever more popular was also an elven “invention”
In a way, although the elven kingdoms needed to have authority and the support of their people to exist, not only did they have a council of elders system, they even had clashes of benefits between the different elven species and elven social classes Elven royal authority was also constantly restricted If an elven king wanted to do so, he would first require the support of a dom This really did fit my definition of politician
I wouldn’t say that politicians were all naturally shortsighted or anything like that However, the elven elders always refreshedin lied my sense of reason
“…Those moon elves had actually contacted the Holy Church? In fact, the ested the Northern Divine Battlefront Alliance to the Holy Church as an idea to contain the Mist Alliance?”
I had a secret er in front of round within the tent, while an icy wind expressed my fury I didn’t whatsoever doubt the veracity of this news that Suana sent me It was that I couldn’t believe what bastards those ht that the Northlands moon elves wanted to be free fro independence Yet, I didn’t expect that they would directly “contact the ene, this was indeed a possibility I had missed This was siy of “attacking close neighbors and allying with those far away” Since the moon elves wanted to break free from the Mist Alliance, and they couldn’t count on the Elven Gods anymore, it seemed only natural that they would turn to join the Holy Church, one of the most powerful factions in Eich
And with the establishment of the Holy Church’s Northern Divine Battlefront Alliance to contain the Mist Alliance, ould have to concentrate more on this southern threat, which would reduce the pressure on the moon elves
“The moon elves still have yet another plan…”
The er sees probably hadn’t been written down in Suana’s e would be intercepted, so the er would directly inforers Harloys added soic on our tent as I walked up to the lanced around nervously with eyes filled with anxiety I became more and more interested in what news he could have to tell me What could possibly be so difficult to tell me?
“…The moon elves intend to assassinate Empress Harloys, and have even sent out assassins already Apart fro this, but then felt that this was hilarious Harloys was currently ical pet It would be literally i to assassinate her would be er hadn’t finished speaking, as he had a panicky expression while looking at so, “…and they also intend to assassinate you!”
I hurriedly turned around to face him with my sword already unsheathed, yet he had suddenly vanished, leaving nothing behind but eht The next instant, I felt a mysterious chill on ht, that seeed at er coated with venomous toxin!
Oh, so he was the assassin
