YM778.TV Chapter 574 - Bad Blood
Location- Sky Blossom City, Association Guild Mall, Warehouse no.234
Diana knew her new boss hated to make small talk. Therefore she had a feeling that there had to be a reason why he brought up the public statement given by the sun blossom branch Circle\'s leader.
"You are right. I do have an interest in this incident. And this also involves the punishment I have prepared for you. I am planning on invading sun blossom city to destroy the
Circle\'s branch that is housed in it. And you are going to help me with that. So, Diana, what do you think? Are you up for this? But know this once you back out today, forget about working with or for me ever again." I made my intention clear to Diana. I think she should have already guessed it considering me going on a full-on network war with the circle\'s false propaganda.
"I expected you would say something like that. After all, my agents did say that the adventurers of the TSR guild and soldiers of the Tiger squadron were more active as if they were preparing for war. It was more evident learning that you are the one behind the network feud with the circle." Diana explained that she had already accepted that I would be going to war with the circle.
"So, are you going to help or not? Before you answer, remember I have yet to sign the contract. Therefore you are free from any obligation. If you don\'t want to participate, there\'s the exit. You guys are free to walk away. But if you choose to stay, remember you follow my orders. I will not entertain other way." The war with Circle will not be over with the destruction of the sun blossom branch of the circle. Until I genuinely destroy the supreme leader, the battle will continue. Therefore I wanted allies willing to go all-in and not regret their decision later. I asked Diana if I could count on her to be precisely that.
"My people and I are willing to follow you to hell. Let alone the fight against the circle. Honestly, I am a little hurt that you had to ask me that. The circle had ruined many lives. Cindy, Jaya, you, and I are just a drop of it. If I can put an end to such an organization, then I am willing to participate." Diana was no saint. She had dreamed of various ways to take revenge on Circle. Now that the opportunity provided itself, Diana would not back down.
"Good to hear. I hope you will stay true to these words till the end. Now let\'s discuss the role you and the Fine Gold will be playing in this massacre, transportation." I explained to Diana that she would use her floater carriers to help the adventures of the TSR guild, Soldiers of Tiger squadron, and guards of Fine Gold to enter and leave the sun blossom city unnoticed.
Adventures of the TSR guild and Soldiers of Tiger squadron were more than enough numbers to fight against the Circle and its cannon fodder, but it was good to have back up, so I added guards of Fine Gold to the list of forces invading the sun blossom city.
Fine Gold does have a branch in Sun Blossom city. Therefore when the Sun Blossom city guards notice fine gold Carrier floaters, they will not get suspicious. As long as we can pass the search in the sun blossom airstrip, we will have invaded the sun blossom city with the Fine Gold taking care of the transportation problem.
The next step was how to avoid the local forces that were bribed and had submitted to the circle. These forces will not sit ideally by as I attack the circle. Handling them wasn\'t a problem, but I would instead not prefer fighting with them because it would turn from my act of vengeance on the circle to a feud between two cities.
After the great monster war, when the city borders were marked and recorded, there was a lot of infighting between the neighboring cities. They all wanted as many dungeons as possible to fall under their city jurisdiction. In this world, dungeons were the natural source of enormous wealth, like a gold mine. The dungeons were a stable source of monster meat, soul jades, card ingredients, and some even had natural mines and other resources. Dungeons were basically an inexhaustible source of various resources. So, the cities fought with each other to ensure that their border would enclose the most dungeons.
This fight turned into a bloodbath, and many lost their lives until the Royal families stepped in and distributed the land themselves based on the merits of the cities during the monster war. Greater the merit larger the border with better dungeons in it. With that came the immigration frenzy. People started to desert cities with smaller borders to the bigger Cities. But locals were not hospitable to the immigrants as their family members had died to gain those merits, which gave them bigger borders. They were unwilling to share what they had earned through their blood and sweat with the immigrants or the refugees. This led to another bloodbath. And once again, the royal families and the government stepped in to make the immigration law which forbade a person from immigrating from the native city to another city without a valid reason and being approved by both cities involved.
So basically, there was a lot of bad blood between the two cities. If I carelessly harmed the city authorities and families, the next day, the local news would read, outside forces attacked the elitist of the Sun Blossom city. Which would lead to people digging up the past wounds, and I would indirectly become the trigger to start the next city war. Even though I could escape the legal persecution with the help of the southern royal family, I will not be able to forgive myself.
