303: Chapter 8, Pie-drawing Training Method_2 303: Chapter 8, Pie-drawing Training Method_2 Now all hopes are pinned on the more flexible and covert “Holy Hand”.
“Your Majesty, we have traced to the Mountain Domain.
According to the information collected by our intelligence agents, there’s a high possibility that the Mountain Lord is a Necromancer in disguise.
At the very least, his power is at the Sorcerer level.
He also has an adult Earth Bear and commands a force of tens of thousands in the Mountain Domain.
It would be nearly impossible to forcefully seize things from him .
Our agents are communicating with him, to see if we can buy it back, so far the communication is going well.
However, his asking price is too high, and our budget is limited.
We currently cannot spare enough funds, what do you think…”
In order to increase the budget, Ulysses started making up lies without flinching.
However, compared to the previous performance of the Judgement Knights, everyone was too busy to argue about many things as the Holy Hand quickly advanced the matter to this stage.
“Good!
Don’t worry about the budget.
Now what you need to do is to get the Blood Moon Horn back at all costs.
The Holy Treasury will bear all the costs.
Also, try your best to lobby the problematic Mountain Lord.
It’s good to plant this nail in the Alpha Kingdom.
However, we need to figure out how a single Necromancer could avoid the detection of the nobles of the Alpha Kingdom.”
Shelter VII said with satisfaction.
Large sum of money is relative to who it belongs to.
The Clergy’s poverty is only relative to its prosperous times in the past, compared to a “Necromancer”, they are much wealthier.
Moreover, transactions between the powerful are rarely carried out directly with gold coins.
Either they use precious magical materials, exchange cultivation resources, or even share knowledge, which is better than gold coins.
In the Clergy’s warehouse, there are many treasures and cultivation materials used by Necromancers.
At this critical moment, Shelter VII doesn’t mind using them for trade.
Of course, what satisfies him the most is that his own intelligence organization has grasped the handle of the opponent’s identity.
They don’t dare to use it now because it involves the “Blood Moon Horn”, they can’t afford the consequences of exposure.
It may not be the same in the future.
If you are willing to cooperate, you are a good friend.
If you are not willing to cooperate, it is worth considering revealing the other party’s identity at the right time.
If they can master the method of secretly replacing the infiltrator without being discovered by the nobles, the value they could obtain would be even greater.
All this is based on the validation of Ulysses’s words.
If it turns out that all of this is a made up guess, then that’s a different story.
Perhaps he felt that things were going too smoothly and was a bit uneasy, Shelter VII added:
“Be careful when completing the transaction.
The person who leaked the news has not been found yet, there might be twists and turns.”
…
In the Northern Battlefield, the Five Major Royal Families of the Orcs gathered.
Apart from the Bimon Tribe, which is the Crown Prince Alex, the rest of the families were represented by the Kings.
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
…
The intense shouts of battle that filled the sky did not interfere with the meeting, as if the combat outside didn’t exist at all.
Perhaps influenced by the solemn atmosphere of the battlefield outside, the atmosphere inside the tent was somewhat tense, and the faces of the kings were not very good.
“The Giants, Dwarves, and Elves who promised to wage war with us…None of them have launched an attack on the Human Race as agreed.
If these races do not participate in the war, it will be almost impossible for us to shake the dominant position of the Human Race with our strength alone!”
The Hawkman King said coldly.
From the beginning, he did not think highly of this action.
Uniting all races on the continent to overthrow the dominance of the Human Race sounds wonderful, but implementing it is another matter.
Even if everyone agreed in advance, when it comes to the crunch, the allies who harbored different intentions one by one let them down.
It’s all due to interests.
Overthrowing the Human Race is inherently a high-risk action, but whether the interests can match the gains is a matter of dispute.
The hegemony of the continent ultimately belongs to one race, not every race has the strength to replace the Human Race.
For most races, compared to the unrealistic domination of the continent, preserving their strength is the most important thing.
The Orcs want to make trouble, everyone supports them in their hearts, but it’s another matter I they need to hold a weapon and go to the battlefield.
To respond to the Orcs’ actions, the races did not remain idle, and they created a lot of friction with the Human Race some days ago.
Regrettably, friction is just friction.
When it comes to instigating a race war, everyone still has to think twice before acting.
This matter can’t be blamed on others.
In the last continental war, the Orcs betrayed all races for their own interests.
What goes around comes around, this time it’s their turn to be fooled, everyone naturally can’t stand it.
The main point is that the Elf Race also participated in it, the pure elves actually learned to lie, it’s totally beyond the imagination of the Orcs.
If they had participated in the negotiation personally, the Hawkman King would have found that the representative of the Elf Race had never given a definite promise.
It’s just that the representative who attended the alliance was a member of the War Faction.
In order to promote this war, they slightly modified the news sent back.
The Lionman King alongside was very embarrassed.
This war was pushed by him single-handedly, even the connection with the other races was his idea.
Regrettably, the races have too many smart people, they all want to wait for their allies to attack first and consume the strength of the Human Race, and then jump out to pick up the bargain.
As a result, except for the Orcs who really moved, other races stopped at the final moment.
