A Core Ship From The Start Chapter 906 - 906 638 Tides Rise and Fall

Chapter 906: Chapter 638: Tides Rise and Fall Chapter 906: Chapter 638: Tides Rise and Fall Mother Angeste sat in her chair, her expression gloomy.

The raiding party hadn’t returned at the agreed ti, and even now, the Chief Martial Artist had not been able to enter the hall to apologize to her. That could only an one thing—the raiding party had been completely annihilated.

This was rare in the history of the Drow Elves. Generally, when Drow went to the surface to fight, they scarcely suffered any losses. They were masters of stealth operations, but… they had been wiped out.

Considering that the enemy had even threatened this city, it seed a logical outco. In fact, this rather relieved Mother Angeste. Being a Drow Elf Matron who had ruled the city with plots and sches for a thousand years, she most detested the dark arrows and conspiracies from other places. If her Chief Martial Artist had returned to the city now with a confident smile, reporting that the mission was accomplished, that would have aroused Mother Angeste’s suspicions.

But now… the Chief Martial Artist and his squad had proven that the threat was real, and significant.

So, should she incite the other families to head to Deepwater City again?

Mother Angeste tapped the armrest of her chair, pondering. The leading family matrons in this city were High Priests greatly favored by the Spider Goddess. Just a hint from her, and for the blessings and favor of Rose, these families would certainly follow one after another.

But that would also anger the surface dwellers at Deepwater City. Although Mother Angeste was confident that the surface forces couldn’t launch a major attack on her city, she still didn’t want to antagonize a vast surface power—after all, she was also aware of the formidable nature of human Archmages, who were not to be trifled with even in the Dark Region.

Let it be so.

With that thought, Mother Angeste made a decision.

Reattacking Deepwater City rashly was unwise, but she could spread so rumors, indicating that the Spider Goddess had given her a premonition that a devastating disaster was imminent for the city. And as long as they could find and destroy the source of the calamity, they could win the Spider Goddess’s favor—this would be enough to motivate a large number of Drow Elf families to start moving, searching around the Dark Region near the city.

That would be enough. Once they started moving, they would form a huge and intricate web centered around the city. By then, once prey stepped into it, she would imdiately get the news.

As for what to do next………

A slight smile appeared on the corner of Mother Angeste’s mouth.

Everything was under control, no need to worry.

Duanmu Huai was unaware of the malevolent plot of the Drow Elf Matron, as he had more important matters at hand.

“A pair of kings! Burst!”

Duanmu Huai threw the playing cards forcefully onto the ground, raising his hands high.

“I won!”

“I lost.”

Ogis put down her cards, speaking softly.

“Then it’s your turn, Ogis. Find sothing interesting nearby.”

“Yes, Master.”

Ogis nodded, then stood up and disappeared into the dark tunnel monts later.

“Such a boring ga, I can’t believe you play it with so much interest.”

Gavi sat nearby, looking disdainfully at the playing cards in her hand.

“Well, there’s nothing else to do, a break is pretty good.”

Duanmu Huai stretched and looked toward Gavi.

“What’s up? Not getting along with Ogis?”

“What do you think?”

“Hahaha, don’t be angry. Ogis is trying to be a good sister, so she’s imitating what she read in books.”

“If she really wants to be a good sister, then she should at least listen to once!”

“Hahaha… So you haven’t realized?”

“Realized what?”

Hearing Duanmu Huai’s voice grow stern, Gavi frowned and stared at him.

“You’ve always thought that Ogis is a perfect puppet, so you’ve always wanted to replace her, right?”

“Exactly.”

“But you’ve seen it too, she’s not perfect.”

Duanmu Huai spread his hands.

“If Ogis were really a perfect puppet, then she could perfectly imitate the attitudes of those elder sisters from the books with respect to you, right? A perfect puppet must perfectly obey and execute commands, but do you think Ogis is perfectly acting like an elder sister now?”

Even as a comforting presence, she’s flawed and rebels, injuring Duanmu Huai deeply every ti she backstabs him. Where is such a perfect puppet who perfectly disses her master?

“This………”

Hearing Duanmu Huai’s questioning, Gavi was montarily speechless. Indeed, on closer thought, her initial resentnt toward Ogis stemd from being just a copy created in Ogis’ likeness by their maker, who thought her inferior to Ogis, thus discarding her.

And because of this, Gavi always harbored hatred toward Ogis. She attacked Ogis believing that if she could defeat her, then she would prove that she was far superior, and she was the perfect puppet.

But… perfect?
