“What?” I nodded and urged her to speak.
“I got sothing that needs your attention first… A ssenger ca not long ago.”
“A ssenger?” my eyes shone brightly, “don’t tell … Is it from Berry?”
“You guessed it?!!” a look of surprise appeared on her face. This Loran… She might be a genius lady in planning and such. Yet she still has a fragile state of mind.
Couldn’t she even guess it on her own?
I went all out, devastated Berry’s army, and made such a miraculous move of getting those Reapers to my side.
Wasn’t all this enough to drive the attention of that brutal lord? If I was her, I’d send out envoys and spies, together in the sa carriage.
As I kept my calm and silence, only looking without speaking at her, she regained her composure fast before adding after clearing her throat:
“A single person ca, and he is waiting for you over there.”
She pointed in one direction, and there was a single peak there. It wasn’t a grand mountain, yet it was enough to be called a mountain.
“Just a single one? No one else?” I asked in doubt. Why didn’t she send the large company over? Wasn’t she that interested in getting information about or what?
Sending large people over as ssengers would make it easy for her spies to infiltrate my forces and collect various information.
For example, what was my origin? How was my real strength? My forces, nature and types? There were just tons of missing data about .
And yet she only sent just one person? Don’t tell she got her hands full at other fronts, and she just sought out temporary peace to stabilise this region?
No way I’d let that happen! I wanted to get more of those evolved soulers. If I agreed, wasn’t that like digging my own grave with my own hands?
If I gave her the peace she desired, she’d co at later on after taking care of the other fronts. It was like giving her advantage while stripping naked out of it!
“I also found it strange, especially when that person cladded in heavy black clothes and covered up himself tightly with a black cape and mask refused to stay any single mont here,” Loran seed also to read the matter just like I did, frowning over the sa points as myself.
“So he decided to go over there and wait for ?”
“Yes, it was per his request and… Persistence.”
“Fine,” I could notice how hard it was to deal with such a stubborn person. Sending such a person to make negotiations wasn’t the right choice indeed.
In such situations, one had to send soone able to trick the other party and knew how to endure insults.
For , it was better to send Lang other than Loran for example if I ever wanted to negotiate with soone.
This might be considered a bad sign if I wanted to end this on good terms with her. But having such a hard to deal with envoy was good news to .
Like this I’d drive this man crazy and make him end up starting a brutal war instead of just buying ti for his lord.
“I’ll go there and et that man then,” I turned to the two, “start your preparations to move. Don’t wait until I return and start heading back to my land.”
“Won’t you need ? Us? Any of our forces?”
“Co on!” I rolled my eyes when Loran said that, “he dared to co alone and waited all this ti on the side. He isn’t that fool to try anything at . And I’m not that weak either.”
I shook my head while saying these words, “besides, it’s not good for my image as an overlord. I have to show the sa quality of courage and self confidence to the other party, at least on the sa level as him. Go now, it will take a long ti before you are ready to move out.”
I waved at the two to move, blocking the path over Lucas who seed to stand on the sa side as Loran.
The two seed a bit worried over . But they had to know it’d take more than a single man to take down.
Even an entire army wouldn’t be enough.
As the two reluctantly left, I moved my chariot towards the direction they pointed towards.
Until I saw the single black big tent that was erected on one elevated side of this small mountain I couldn’t believe there was just a single person sent here by Berry.
I still held doubts about her real intentions. She might have sent one, but might also have sent lots more sneakily to infiltrate my army and gather intel.
But when I saw the single silhouette covered all in black standing in front of the black tent, I knew this wasn’t a lie.
And when I noticed the calm gaze coming from this fellow down below, I knew he was expecting .
Ok dude, let’s get done with this eting. I still had land to build, armies to organise, and then battles with your lady to settle.
“Hi there, I believe you are the one called Hao, right?” Just before I’d landed beside him, this dude spoke in such a high tone, making my pupils constrict.
He was daring and rude, indeed.
“As you know my na, isn’t it a bit rude for you to not announce yours first?” I reneged on the idea of landing my chariot next to him.
I could already sll the scent of fire powder even without the need for to co down.
“I hold all the capital to speak in such a way, if you aren’t satisfied with my attitude just now.”
“I’m not satisfied indeed.”
This dude was already getting on my nerves. What the heck with such an attitude and such tone? Who was the lord and who was the ssenger.
