Chapter 754? All pawns(1/2)
"In the final analysis, this matter is all a unilateral conjecture between us. Maybe there is a possibility of success? Even if it is slim, it is worth a try." Elder Brady did not give up his point of view easily, "
What's more, we have a ready-made lobbyist, don't you think so? Elder Irene, Elder Irene!"
"Ah..." Elder Karin looked like she had just woken up from a dream, and asked a little uncertainly, "Elder Brady is referring to Angie Beina?"
"That's right, it's Angie Beina." Brady affirmed, "Hasn't your disciple always been very close to Princess Sophia and the leader of the Yongye Army? We have invested in her over the years.
Quite a bit, it's time for her to make some contribution to the secret meeting."
Elder Irene sighed softly and said, "Although Elder Brady's idea is good, I'm afraid it will come to nothing."
"How do you say that?" Being denied one after another made Elder Brady feel a little embarrassed, and a trace of anger appeared on his face.
"Although Angie Beina is nominally a member of the secret meeting, she has never been in a secret meeting. The time she spends with me is far less than the time she spends with Elena. She has no relationship with us both in public and private matters.
It’s not as close as we think. As for our investment in Angie Beina, it has never been selfless. Has Elder Brenner ignored the warlock apprentices we have recruited from Angie Beina’s territory over the years?
Because this secret meeting was so extreme, it had already caused Angie Beina's resistance and dissatisfaction.
Compared to the secret meeting outside, do you think she is closer to us? Or is she closer to Princess Sophia and the Eternal Night Army Commander who have maintained friendly relations with them for many years?
Unless we can prove that letting Princess Sophia participate in our war with the royal court is beneficial to the princess and the leader of the Evernight Army.
Otherwise, don’t even think that Angie Beina would put much effort into this matter.
It's just that I thought about it for a long time. Princess Sophia's intervention in this matter has no benefit except making the relationship between the two siblings more rigid, especially when the leader of the Yongye Army faces the mysterious and unpredictable people in the Eastern Odin Empire.
Under the threat of the undead!" Elder Irene analyzed unhurriedly.
There was a trace of her dissatisfaction hidden in this.
After all, Commander Manyu managed the situation with great difficulty.
It's just that the Witches' Conclave paid too little attention to this isolated territory. Except for a certain amount of external support and the materials they tried their best to obtain at the beginning, they basically didn't invest much.
The rise of Angie Beina was largely due to the rise of the Yongye Army Leader.
If she hadn't been caught between the Eternal Night Army and the Princess' fiefdom, even with the Witches' Conclave as the backbone, it would have been a matter of time before she was annexed by other forces.
But the witches' secret society didn't have this awareness. They always believed that Angie Beina's rise was only possible with the help of their witches' secret society, and they kept asking for and asking for more.
Things like affection are mutual.
If both parties are invested, then it is called love.
If the other party does not know what to invest and only knows what to gain, that is not called affection, but it is called robbery in the name of using affection.
Elder Irene, who was caught in the middle, felt particularly clearly. Angie Beina's attitude towards her secret meeting with the witches was getting colder and colder, and most of the time she just dealt with it.
The Witches' Conclave did not have the corresponding awareness. They believed that Angie Beina had become too big and inflated, and that she should be punished accordingly.
But the problem is that Angibena's territory is isolated, separated by the Holy See, how to impose sanctions?
Even if the news of summoning Angie Beina to Gemini Peninsula was delivered to the other party, the other party would turn a blind eye.
"This is a kind of betrayal!" Breno said with an angry face, "It is the responsibility of all secret society members to send the warlock apprentices in the territory back to the secret society for systematic training, and everyone is executing it. Why does Angie Beina want to
Special case? This is basically a contribution!"
"Just be afraid. This is Elder Irene making excuses for his wrong teachings." Elder Bruno added insult to injury, "I have said it a long time ago that all awakened people should bring back the secret meeting and bring them back to Ten Thousand Towers City.
To cultivate them, because this is not only the process of cultivating them to become talents, but also the process of cultivating their sense of belonging to the secret society. If this necessary step is missing, the current situation will occur. The starting point for them to consider things is not the secret society.
It’s about themselves. When everyone in the secret society considers things like this, our secret society is not far away from falling apart.”
Elder Bruno and Elder Brady are both from the same lineage of wizards, one is outside and the other is inside.
The former is responsible for recruiting warlocks from various major territories, mainly wizards.
The latter sits in Wanta City all year round, cultivating and teaching male awakeners.
The nature of Elder Irene's work is similar to that of Elder Bruno, except that she is mainly responsible for the witch aspect.
Colleagues are enemies.
Elders Eileen and Bruno are not easy to deal with, and Elders Brady and Patricia are prone to quarrels. They are both famous in the Witches' Conclave.
However, it involves far more than simple competition among peers, but also the power game between witches and wizards.
No one likes to be suppressed all the time, and the same is true for the wizards and wizards of the Witches' Conclave. Although their number is small, they only account for less than one-third and a little more than a quarter of the Witches' Conclave, but compared to
Witches are more united, which is the survival instinct of the weak.
Elder Eileen sneered and responded: "Angibena's status is special, and there is no way to follow Elder Breno's method. Her ability to get to where she is today depends largely on this special status. If she had been brought in at the beginning,
Back to the secret meeting, now we just have a more talented apprentice, not an earldom!"
"You are changing the concept..." Elder Bruno still wanted to argue.
But he was interrupted by a cold shout, "That's enough, we are here to discuss countermeasures, not for you to attack each other."
"I'm sorry, President." Elder Irene saluted from a distance.
"Yes, President." Elder Bruno also responded.
The person who interrupted them just now was none other than Martina Harrison, the president of the Conclave of Witches.
Her figure is obviously two sizes smaller than that of most women. She is only about 1.4 meters tall, and her face is somewhat baby-like. Sitting on a tall chair, she is obviously a little out of place.
Her unique appearance can easily confuse her age, but her graying hair and crow's feet at the corners of her eyes silently tell the traces that time has left on her body.
Although she is younger than Elder Nitya and others, she is relatively limited and has already had a century of life experience.
From the reactions of these elders, we can see how much prestige the president of the secret society of witches, who is as tall as Luoli, has.
President Martina said sincerely: "Our conclave is facing unprecedented challenges. We need closer unity than before. We must put aside all previous prejudices and differences and work hard for the same goal. Only in this way can we
Only if we can hope to overcome the difficulties can we hope to pass on our secret society. When the inheritance of the secret society is broken, what is the meaning of the trivial matters you are arguing about?"
"What the president taught us is that we did something wrong."
"What does the president think we should do? We follow the president's arrangements."
The eyes of all the elders of the Witches' Conclave present fell on President Martina.
"What the elders said all has some truth, but it is not complete." President Martina made a concluding speech, "Synthesizing all the opinions is what we need to do. We should indeed be like Bray
As Elder Di said, uniting all the forces that can be united, even if the possibility is slim and can only bring a little pressure and disagreement to the royal court, is still worth a try.
Elder Sophia, I remember that your most popular disciple Selina is still active in the east!"
"Yes, President." Elder Sophia replied.
"Then let her go to the Eternal Night Army Commandery to test the opinions of Princess Sophilia and Earl Augustine." President Martina looked at Elder Irene and said, "Elder Irene, please give your disciple
Is it okay to write a letter and ask her to recommend it?"
"Don't worry, President, no matter how dissatisfied Angie Beina is, she will still give you this little kindness!" Elder Eileen promised, "Don't worry, President, leave this matter to me!"
"At this time, these means are at best a supplement and are difficult to play a decisive role. What we can really rely on is the force we have in our hands, and the focus is not on the ground, but on the sea.
As long as the Twin Inner Seas are still there, we have the local initiative in the battle, and we have options to advance or retreat. Therefore, we must not make any mistakes in the Twin Inner Seas. We order Elder Cynthia and Atwood to lay as many mines as possible and defend the Twin Inner Seas."
Martina ordered again.
"I'll pass the order as soon as I know." Elder Sophia responded.
According to President Martina, Elder Cynthia is the commander of the witch fleet, and Elder Atwood is the commander of the wizard fleet.
"Elder Patricia, Elder Brady, you go north and south, keep an eye on the ground and set up defenses. Don't hide them. Whether it's magic armor or black powder mines, move them all out of the warehouse. There is no need to do so at this time.
, when will we wait? We must let them know our will to resist, and we must not let them easily set foot on the land of our secret meeting." President Martina's voice revealed a firmness.
"Leave this task to us, President, don't worry." Elder Patricia patted her chest and assured.
"We know what to do." Elder Brady responded.
"Now that everyone has understood their tasks, let's start taking action!" President Martina waved her hand.
"As commanded."
Several elders of the Witches' Conclave got up and left to prepare for their own affairs.
Soon the White Tower returned to its former coldness. Only President Martina was sitting alone in her seat. After a long while, she sighed faintly and said: "Three hundred years of reincarnation, the Byron Alliance also
If we fail to avoid this fate, after this turmoil, regardless of victory or defeat, the Byron Alliance will probably become a thing of the past."
No one can answer President Martina's question.
Not even Sean, who has a soul from another world and claims to stand taller and see further than ordinary people.
Because the leader of the Yongye Army is also a pawn on this war chessboard, he faces unprecedented enemies.
The undead empire led by Narentoya looks very similar to the skeleton army led by the God of Death, but there is a huge difference between the two in essence.
This difference is none other than spiritual intelligence.
There is a world of difference in the level of threat between those with intelligence and those without intelligence.
The circling moves used by the leader of the Eternal Night Army, the Skeleton Army, were completely ineffective against the Undead Empire.
Although the undead have a fearless undead army, they are very cautious in their behavior. Most of them ignore the temptations and harassments of the Eternal Night Army leader and just build their own canopy of the undead step by step.
As a result, many of the tactics led by the Yongye Army had no chance to be used.
