Chapter 2007: Chapter 1127: Testing and Seeing Through
“What?!”
Durant’s calm words instantly stirred up a storm in the Royal Family eting room. Leo Ray’s associates, Asher Porter and Randall, both jumped up in surprise, their faces full of astonishnt.
The aning in the other party’s words could not have been more obvious.
Although it’s unclear what kind of beguilent the Temple of Light used, it’s evident that the rcenary Guild is prepared to stand on the sa side as them, joining forces to deal with us, who’ve just gone through a great catastrophe.
This ans that we will not only face two colossal forces far exceeding any one Kingdom’s Royal Family but also the simultaneous opposition of two major neutral organizations, causing a series of severe chain reactions.
First, the entire nation’s rcenary Guilds will shut down, leaving no rcenaries to take protection missions, severely impacting comrce and transport sectors.
Considering the current state where the Lords’ network isn’t fully ford, we can’t break free from traditional transport thods, and if we use otherworldly Lords to replace the rcenaries, it will also require so ti for completion.
During this period, our opponents only need to employ minor tactics to cause our internal chaos without any battle, leading to unpredictable effects everywhere.
Secondly, regardless of the Alchemist Guild’s stance, if two out of the three major neutral organizations stand against us, even if we are basking in the sunlight, not fearing the shadows, we will be portrayed as monsters rising from the abyss, leaving us with no words to defend ourselves.
After all, these three neutral organizations have saved the Human Clan from calamity multiple tis, and their authority is unquestionable.
Lastly, although we achieved several major victories, almost annihilating the Grim Kingdom’s Grand Army and trapping the Alliance Army of Saint Night Kingdom and the Orchid Federation,
these were under the circumstances where the two major neutral organizations didn’t personally intervene.
Once they participate, the Illusion Matrix might quickly be broken by them, and the captured soldiers will beco restless again, and not only will our current war gains be at risk, but we’ll also fall into deeper despair.
After all, our losses were also severe, with more than half casualties on most battlefields, and even with the support of Magic dicine, it’s hard to restore peak combat power in a short ti.
Moreover, during this ti, our opponents can thoroughly destroy us.
Aside from that, a declaration from the Temple of Light alone isn’t enough to shake our foundation, but if combined with a declaration from the rcenary Guild, the effect on our citizens and generals will be inevitable, potentially causing our collapse without a fight.
In conclusion, the opposition of the rcenary Guild will make our situation, already filled with uncertainties, much more severe, almost covering the last glow of hope.
Thinking of this unanimously, the tension among our personnel present is imaginable, even Taylor and Red Night, mainly tasked with guarding, are frowning and preparing to strike at any mont.
Even if the rcenary Guild chooses opposition, we must weaken the opponents sowhat first, at least ensuring that the Tier 5 branch president Durant and these rcenary representatives don’t leave the conference room today.
Facing us directly, realizing that Taylor and Red Night are accumulating energy secretly, Durant couldn’t help but frown slightly, making the atmosphere instantly tense as if ready for conflict.
However, as Durant’s sharp gaze moved to Leo Ray, he found the latter still wore a calm expression.
Indeed, among our group, only Leo Ray remained unfazed, even with a hint of a smile on his lips.
Noticing this scene, not only Durant but even Rupert and a few other rcenary representatives showed slightly surprised expressions, clearly not expecting Leo Ray to be so composed.
“Branch President Durant, shall we end the probing here?”
Leo Ray gently waved his hand, signaling our people not to be nervous, and smiled, “We’ve just been through a life-and-death battle, our spirits are still extrely tense, please forgive us if we’ve offended in any way.”
“Probing? Your Highness, what do you an by that?”
Durant raised an eyebrow, full of curiosity, “Does Your Highness an that the rcenary Guild hasn’t sided with the Temple of Light?”
“That’s right, if the rcenary Guild had already decided to be enemies with our Coldfla Kingdom, you could have suddenly closed all the rcenary Guilds in the Coldfla Kingdom, catching us off guard, so why bother attending this eting by invitation?”
Leo Ray picked up a steaming teacup, took a sip, then continued, “Doing so only gives us more reaction ti, instead putting the rcenary Guild in a passive position.”
Leo Ray put down the teacup and again revealed a faint smile, “Branch President Durant, am I right?”
“It seems Your Highness is very confident in your judgnt.”
Durant didn’t directly respond to Leo Ray’s words but instead shifted the topic, “Your Highness is concluding based on your assumptions, isn’t that too presumptuous? Perhaps the rcenary Guild and allies have already started acting behind the scenes.”
As Durant spoke, Asher Porter and the others, who had just relaxed a bit, tensed up once more.
Just like the other party said, perhaps this is rely a feint by them, while they’re secretly collaborating with the Temple of Light against us?
