Section 64 Proposals
It must be noted that Belle's apology with great politeness and demeanor just now attracted a lot of favor. If someone took the opportunity to make trouble for Kedasa, he would feel it was difficult to start after saying this. So everyone sat down again and someone began to ask about Belle's identity.
"Beral is Tiberius' general, and was the head coach of the expedition to Carlean. He has rich experience in fighting vampires." This time, Damon stole the show again. "The elder invited him to come, probably to consult the vampires."
Kedasa was about to speak, but Damon immediately changed his mind.
"The Tiberius and the Ryans are allies, and they must be in a coordinated relationship. Although this Belarus can be seen, it cannot be used as the basis for our judgment. Who knows what conspiracy is behind them? We must have a more reliable method. I suggest sending an envoy."
His first half of the sentence was immediately approved by everyone. Moreover, this judgment was reasonable, and even Kedasa could not refute it. However, the last opinion made the audience silent.
"I support Lord Damon's opinion." Someone suddenly said in the crowd. Everyone looked at the speaker and saw a man in his thirties and handsome. Some people recognized that he was the leader of a small tribe. It is logical that this person was not qualified to attend such a high-level meeting, but because his tribe had many battles with the Ryans in recent years, with great victory and amazing results, he became one of the invitees of this meeting.
"We send an envoy to meet the vampires and find out the truth," he said. "I heard that vampires are not very different from ordinary lords in a sense. Although they are evil, they are always rational and not the kind of monsters that cannot be communicated - of course, this is not surprising. According to records, there are also many humans living in Kalean."
"The vampire has no friendship with us, what if he doesn't see him?" Someone questioned. "He can drive the envoys away directly at the border. This is a waste of time for us."
"I heard that vampires only like the blood of beautiful girls, so we might as well give him a few girls. And I have a special existence in my hand... I believe everyone knows that it is Leya, the daughter of the fortune teller Alexander."
"It's that kid!"
"I still remember her mother's last curse..."
Half of the people were talking about it, while the other half were silent. Even if they were not witnessed, everyone heard about it. Legend has it that Alisan is a powerful witch with special abilities that can see the past and the future, and control many destinies in her palms. Relying on her power, the Bin clan gained the upper hand in several battles with the Ryans. Due to the successive battles, the Bin clan once had the illusion that he could counterattack Ryan.
However, in a war with Ryan's army, she refused to bless the Bin tribe for some reason, but instead imposed a terrible curse, which eventually led to the Bin tribe's defeat in the war and suffered heavy losses. Some people say that she fell in love with an outsider and eventually betrayed the Bin tribe. Some people say that the witch is evil and unpredictable. However, her ending is very clear - the family members of soldiers who lost their relatives in the war rushed into the witch's house in grief and anger, burning her to death.
"She is the child of that witch..." Someone pondered. "I heard that she has also inherited the power of the witch?"
"It's true. In fact, she has completely inherited that power. At least I can be sure that she can now peek at a person's fate in some way. So," the leader continued. "We might as well let her meet a vampire. Let her see the vampire's fate."
"What if she curses us again?" someone asked.
"It's okay, we can take a hostage...I can handle this matter well." The leader answered confidently.
There was another wave of discussion, but no one seemed to have objections to this statement again.
"Then the matter of sending vampires and girls..." Kedasa, who spoke this time, stared at Damon. "Is this appropriate?"
"There is nothing wrong." Damon seemed to have no idea about the abnormality in his eyes, and his face was full of smiles. "There is no need to ask for volunteers or something. You know, isn't it common to spend more money now and buy a few children from poor families as slaves? At most it's just a matter of price. As for slaves... is there anything strange about the master giving them to others?"
What he said is the truth. Not every tribe can occupy a rich mountainous land, and not every tribe can win repeatedly under the harassment and attack of the Ryans and firmly defend their homes. Now, whether it is the struggle between the Bin tribe or the battle with the Ryans outside, it is always easy to produce a group of homeless refugees. Selling children or something is not rare.
"But the envoy is the envoy, we need to find out some specific situations about the vampire power. If there is no way... it is impossible to find out the news in a short time."
"I know a dark magician." Damon suddenly threw out the bombshell. "He is now under the vampire."
People were in agitation and talked a lot. If you want to say that this matter is really a scandal, but now it makes Damon an instantly key figure in the audience.
The black magician, or the necromancer, are those who practice black magic. According to the church, when a person embarks on the path of undead art, he is already deviating from the normal human life. In the process of constantly exploring the undead art, the necromancer will become more and more like the terrifying creatures he created with magic. These mages who are deeply involved in the undead skills themselves are actually constantly wandering in the world of the living and the dead. Their bodies are distorted by the power of uncleanness, and their minds are also polluted by the black magic. In the end, the necromancer will be more like an undead creature than a human.
Of course, the motives of the black magicians may not be evil. Some of them simply pursue knowledge, while others save their lives or their beloved. But even if their original intention is good, their abnormal pursuits ultimately lead them to a path toward darkness. On the one hand, it is because the black magic they study often makes the people around them feel very terrifying and then rejected by others. On the other hand, because those dark rituals inevitably distort their spirits and make them evil, ruthless, and paranoid. In any case, as long as a person starts to learn black magic, they are not far from madness.
At least this statement from the church has been accepted by the whole world.
"If we really want to organize an envoy, we have a good excuse to be ready," Damon continued. "That's to work hand in hand with the vampire against the Ryans. Such a good reason, plus a gift that the vampire likes, I can't see any reason he has to refuse our envoys' entry."
This statement was immediately approved by everyone. Among all, Kedasa was the only one who frowned. This expression was not because he did not agree with the other party's suggestions, or because he had a unique vision and opinion, but because he could clearly feel that the fox had taken the initiative in the meeting. No matter where he was sitting, it seemed that he had fully exerted his influence. In fact, although Kedasa was hosting the meeting, the person who was the most popular at the moment was Damon.
"It takes one or two months for the envoys to go back and forth. How should the Ryans respond?" He deliberately asked a small question. "Although they did not limit the final reply time, they obviously would not wait too long."
"Drag," Damon replied. "Controversy back and forth on details. If the envoys can go back and forth at the speed of a marching force, I believe it will not exceed a month and a half. Of course, we must also prepare for war with the Ryans. But I believe that this should be our next issue."
Kedasa coughed in a low voice. Anyone with discerning eyes could see that this would be the next issue, but after Damon said this, the situation would be different. Because it seemed that the entire meeting was under Damon's control rather than Kedasa. But he could not get rid of this embarrassment for a while.
Fortunately, a few well-behaved subordinates immediately jumped out and continued to comment on the envoy's issue. By the time the discussion on these details ended, everyone had almost forgotten Damon's previous words. So the meeting successfully moved to the next issue, that is, preparations for war.
In fact, the main problem of this issue is that each tribe provides corresponding soldiers and supplies according to their own strength. There are always some people who want to spend less money and make more profits, so this discussion is particularly lengthy and tedious. It makes Robin feel a little impatient. It is not easy to wait there when he is idle. Beller sat there in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking, but Robin could only squat in a corner watching the ants crawl and pass the time.
"General!" Robin finally couldn't help but come to Beller. Since Beller appeared at the meeting before and was finally bombarded (this word is inappropriate, but in essence), they were staying in a room far away from the conference room. At this time, the content of the discussion was obviously not known to outsiders, so there were a few people standing outside who were on the surface who were serving but actually surveillance.
"Ah..." Beller seemed to wake up from a dream. "What's wrong, Robin?"
"Can we succeed?" Robin asked anxiously. In his original idea, Beller should use a gusto to convince the Bin people, rather than staying in a remote room to kill time. "Sir, you should find a way to get yourself a chance to speak to convince them. It is impossible for us to be idle here to do anything."
"Robin, can you convince them? It's not words that you rely on." Berel smiled slightly.
"Not words?" Berel's words stunned Robin for a while.
"Of course not words. A rigorous, logically sensible speech is suitable for convincing a large group of people - in a square that gathers thousands of listeners. But in such a small meeting, there is only one thing that can convince people, and that is interests!"
Belle's words made Robin half-believing. It must be noted that Robin now has increasingly clearly felt Belle's ability. Although Belle usually looks careless, at the real critical moment, he can shine with the vision, strategy and courage that a real general possesses.
