Chapter 838 Allying With The Enemy?
After hearing that strange tone coming from empty, each of the experts in that place began to look from side to side with narrowed eyes, some individuals already ready to draw their weapons.
As for the level 59 Spiritual Kings, they all immediately began to circulate their energies, as none had noticed the presence of the person that had just spoken.
'Who is that? Is it Minos?' James wondered in a startled manner, still a little traumatized by his last encounter with that young man.
On the other hand, Linette Carline was a little more aware of the newcomer's identity. 'Such an efficient concealment technique... He can only be...'
'Who are you? What does an assassin from the Scourges of the Devil want here?" She asked aloud, demonstrating her dominant personality.
"What?"
"Scourges of the Devil? These damned things?"
Several regional leaders frowned as they heard that woman's question.
Even Thomas and James were surprised by this.
On the other hand, the representative of the Snow family there was the one who was most dissatisfied with all this. 'What is someone from that damned organization doing here?'
"Hehehehehe, the people from the Kingdom of the End truly know us well..." The same voice as before said this while he was still hiding.pᴀɴᴅᴀ-ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ.ᴄᴏᴍ
He was using a spatial technique identical to that of the assassin who had sacrificed himself to try to avoid his capture by Minos.
Such technique could obstruct people of the same level as the user from finding him, as his spiritual fluctuations could be partially contained with that.
So, even if there were three people of the same level as this assassin there, he still had his position secure!
"Hahaha, is that a good way to welcome a guest? It looks like you all want to face me..." He said as he observed how alert those experts were.
"Humph, I didn't know assassins made jokes..."
"It truly is a joke. This bastard expects to stay hidden, and yet we let our guard down? What a son of a..."
"Tsk!"
"Assassin, do you think you can act freely just by your concealment techniques? Don't think that people of your..."
Several people were already preparing to fight when suddenly that individual stopped laughing and started talking more seriously.
"Well, if I were here on an assassination mission, you would only realize my presence after a few heads had fallen..." pᴀɴᴅᴀ ɴoᴠᴇʟ
"Anyway, you three don't have to worry... I'm not interested in anyone here, at least not for now." He said, looking mainly at those three individuals.
Thomas then asked. "What do you want? We're pretty busy, and if you're not here to fight, we have more important things to do."
"It is exactly because of these important things that I am here." He said, finally revealing his intentions.
"Oh?"
"You mean that your organization wants to fight the war against the Black Plain? What would you guys gain from that?" James questioned while Linette was silent, already thinking about what would happen next.
"Well, we don't have much interest in the war on the Black Plain, but we believe that Minos Stuart's death is for the best..."
"We have reason to believe that he will attempt to target us one day, so we are willing to help you take him down now!" He said this with a sincere expression on his face, but no one there could see that.
And he was being sincere in communicating these things to these regional leaders.
The Scourges of the Devil had nothing in particular against Minos, as the two sides, as far as they knew, had never met. But such an organization had participated in the attempted murder of Albert, and as they found out how young Stuart had killed Otis, the leadership of that organization could not help but worry.
They had only been hired for a job and had nothing against Albert. But it was undeniable that their action had influenced that man's decision to sacrifice himself. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
pᴀɴᴅᴀ-ɴoᴠᴇʟ Therefore, it was very sensible to think that Minos would try to take revenge on that organization once he won the war or stayed alive.
In this way, the Scourges of the Devil had stepped forward. They sent one of their most powerful members to this meeting of the Counter-Revolutionary Army leaders.
"So, that's it..." Thomas muttered in a low voice as he understood the reason for this assassin to make such an offer.
He knew about the involvement of this organization in Albert's death. As such, it was elementary for him to associate what their interest was.
As for the other two, they were both interested in this, despite the significant lack of trust they had towards the people of that organization.
The assassin then said. "Think about it. We are all threatened by that person, and if we don't cooperate, the worst may happen sooner or later."
"And as much as we have no interest in participating in your fights against the Black Plain forces, we are willing to fight that brat and some of the stronger enemy specialists."
"Other than that, once we complete our goal, we will no longer participate in actions against the Black Plain. But my organization will commit to not acting against your families for the next five years, as long as none of you attack us in the first place."
He needed to make concessions if he wanted to work alongside these people. After all, even if Thomas' group was in a lot of uncertainty about fighting Minos, increasing the uncertainties by adding people from this dangerous regional organization could very well increase their problems.
So, this assassin and the organization behind him were aware that they needed to demonstrate their honesty by making some promises that could be guaranteed through Soul Contracts.
Anyway, as they thought about the conditions offered by that assassin, most of them were already thinking about what could happen in the war and their families if they agreed to such an alliance.
'This will truly increase our chances against brat Stuart by a lot...'
'We don't know the full power of the Scourges of the Devil, but their experts are no less numerous than those of large regional royal families!'
'On the other hand, if we compromise with them, we can be assured that our families will not suffer because of them while we are here on the Black Plain...'
Various thoughts favorable to this passed through the minds of those many people.
But the representative of the Snow family was not at all pleased about this.
And seeing the expression on this man's face, it did not take long for Linette to say something. "Can you excuse us for a few hours to discuss this?"
"Hehe, sure."
"But don't be late. The enemy keeps getting stronger!" He said before finally leaving that place, making room for those people.
It was expected that they would want to argue among themselves. And it made no difference to this man to stay here and listen to everything or demonstrate his honesty and leave.
That's because the Scourges of the Devil were not doing this to get along with the powers of the northern region of the Central Continent.
No, they did not care about that, and it was evident that some would undoubtedly be opposed to such a proposition.
But for them, all that mattered was whether they could get a deal with these people, something that might make it easier to eliminate Minos.
As for whether the other side disliked them, was reluctant, or even planned to use them, none of that made any difference. After all, in an agreement like that, both parties would use the other to achieve their goals!
And with that, he had quietly left that area, already knowing what those people would talk about in his absence.
"Are you people crazy?" The Snow family representative said this indignant as he stood and gestured, red with anger.
"Have you people forgotten what these bastards are capable of? How many of your families, subordinates, vassals have died at the hands of these bastards?"
"Don't tell me you're going to ally yourselves with an enemy?"
Silence then permeated that area, as the people there either thought about the answers to these questions or merely ignored this level 58 old man.
Linette then gave her opinion. "I know you Snows are more sensitive about the Scourges of the Devil right now, but let's not forget our reality!"
"The Scourges of the Devil have existed in this region longer than some of our royal houses. But in all that time, they have never threatened our existence, even if we have our problems from time to time."
"As for the Black Plain..."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
