Chapter 110: The One Who Curses Digs Two Graves (6)

I won the gamble.
I inadvertently let out a cheer when Marbas appeared with his 2nd legion. Honestly, I was going to consider the timing and suggest to retreat back to the Black Mountains mainly because the humans will most likely gather faster than the Crescent Alliance.
However, Marbas took my statement seriously. This was the result of raising his affection. The fact that I didn’t make Paimon pay for her crime during the hearing resulted in the affection of Marbas, who at the time was the moderator of the hearing, going up. That affection influenced this war.
In the end, everything started at the hearing……. I used to belong to no faction, but I created a connection with Barbatos and became a part of the Plains Faction which eventually led to the creation of the 8th Crescent Alliance. Is the world not treacherous? The misfortune that Paimon is currently facing all stems back to something she had done herself.
“So you’re the one who called over old man Marbas, huh?”
Barbatos stared at me quietly. I couldn’t read her gaze.
I revealed several things to her.
The fact that I had planned all of this since the beginning will most likely get revealed in the future, that’s why it was better to disclose a certain amount to Barbatos before then. It’d be troubling if people started to doubt whether I’m an active supporter of the Plains Faction or not, after all. Barbatos makes a great support beam. A support beam that could protect against the attacks of other Demon Lords.
