Chapter 314: Chapter 73: Of course, Fairies Must be Mischievous_3
Seven demons from the Different World dared to invade King’s Forest. Even if they didn’t carry the same terrifying aura as the previous 200 demons, they were formidable enough to cause distress!
Heavy pressure instantly overwhelmed the hearts of the three princes.
“A…agree to their terms.”
The eldest prince swallowed nervously, his eyes filled with fear, his voice trembling as he spoke, “Agree to those high aristocrats, as long as they’re willing to send their troops.”
The vitality of the Fairy royal family had reached its limit after losing an army of fifty thousand, a main force of a hundred thousand, and a personal guard of six thousand for the Supreme King. They were too weak to organize a potent resistance.
The “next generation” fairies, numbering less than ten thousand, were the last strength of the Fairy royal family.
They must be preserved and not used casually.
Before the mobilized civilian fairies could form a fighting force, they could only call upon the armies of great aristocrats from other clans to resist the invasion of the demons from the Different World.
To buy themselves some time and create breathing space.
However, when facing a foreign enemy, it’s always the common people who are the most selfless, sacrificing themselves for their country.
The high-ranking aristocrats who enjoyed the privileges brought by their power always acted in their own interests. How could they give selflessly? Deploying armies?
Of course.
What conditions can the Royal Clan offer in return?
What?
Nation perish, species perish, world perish?
The “guests” from the Different World didn’t launch an attack immediately after they arrived. Instead, they first sent ambassadors to try to convince the Royal Clan to agree to a peaceful coexistence and the joint development of the Fairy World.
In the end, the Royal Clan boldly refused the ambassadors from the Different World and took the initiative to start a war.
Now that the war has been lost, they even plan to draft the lower-class civilians for their high-risk experiments, and also expect us to aid them without any rewards?!
Absurd!
Even the “guests” from the Different World don’t expect that.
They promised that once they overthrow the corrupt rule of the Royal Clan, they won’t forcefully rule the Fairy World.
Fairies would govern their own world. As long as they would cooperate in the exploitation of some resources and occasionally dispatch troops to follow them into battles, it would suffice.
Moreover, there will be rewards for doing these things. The prices were clearly marked with no intentions to deceive.
The aristocrats had already contacted the auxiliary troops from the Different World.
Everything that the Wizard promised was true, and everything was fulfilled.
Hence, the resistance among the several Fairy grand aristocrats from different clans was not firm.
They have been haggling with the Royal Clan and have put forward many conditions.
“Have you lost your mind?”
The Second Prince, who was strongly advocating for war and refusing to compromise, glared at the eldest prince, “Do you even realize what you’re saying? Wake up! Out of touch! If we show even the slightest weakness, will those ‘pack of wolves’ let us go? They will tear us apart!”
“Then what do you suggest we do?”
The eldest prince erupted, glaring back accusingly, yelling in a heated outburst, “With father dormant, the Royal Clan at its weakest, without agreeing to those high aristocrats, how are we to resist? With our heads? How many lives do we have? How many times can our heads be cut off?”
“Enough, both of you, stop arguing!”
The youngest but most imposing Third Prince slammed his fist onto the table, releasing an aura that repressed the anger from both the eldest and the Second Prince.
Seeing his hotheaded brothers calming down, the Third Prince calmly added, “Let’s deal with the current situation before we think about the future.”
The eldest prince and Second Prince, of course, knew that the Third Prince was referring to the seven demons invading King’s Forest. They asked in unison, “How do we resolve this?”
The Third Prince’s eyes shone with wisdom, “Inform the major aristocrats, tell them that the ‘guests’ from the Different World have sent an ambassador. We, the Royal Clan, are willing to negotiate peace, but we are limited by the will of the world. We can’t discuss the terms of peace with the ‘guests’ from the Different World hence they, the aristocrats, should negotiate on our behalf.”
After pausing for a moment, the Third Prince emphasized, “Remember, refer to them as ‘guests’ from the Different World, not ‘demons’.”
“I agree.”
The Second Prince immediately seconded and then proposed his idea, “Then we could arrange an ambush to kill all the wolves and the ‘demons’ from the Different World.”
The Third Prince glanced at the Second Prince, full of violence, and was left speechless.
If they could be murdered, would there be a need for such scheming?
Without offering the Second Prince an explanation, the Third Prince turned to advise the eldest prince, “You handle this. Remember, say it’s a decision you and I have made. The Second Prince disagreed, but we have locked him up.”
“Understood.”
The eldest prince calmed down, barely shaking off his fear, understanding the true intention of the Third Prince.
There was no time to lose; readily, he rose from his seat and left the palace, planning to visit the great aristocrats one by one.
As long as he could create a factual conflict between the great aristocrats and the “demons” from the Different World, even if the demons suffered no losses, the situation wouldn’t allow them to remain indecisive.
It’s either they sent their troops or they sent their troops!
