Chapter 234: Battle of Demon Lords (5)
The Neutral Faction was greatly indebted to me.
This dated back to when the Crescent Alliance was still active.
At first, Barbatos wasn’t going to forgive Paimon who had put her in a trap. She was going to hold an official hearing and crush Paimon there. However, Marbas of the Neutral Faction hosted a gathering and urged them to reconcile.
At that time, Marbas said this:
‘A bird that loses a wing will be unable to fly. If the Mountain Faction trying to attack the Plains Faction is wrong, then would it not also be wrong for the Plains Faction to try and wipe out the Mountain Faction in retaliation?’
He then also added.
‘I wish for a reasonable compromise. Of course, if the Plains Faction chooses to be tolerant, then the Neutral Faction will support you fully.’
He stated that he would ‘support us fully’ at the end.
It was the compensation the Neutral Faction had to pay us since we had generously forgiven the Mountain Faction……. This was the trump card I had pulled out. We were dealing with Agares, the strongest battle fiend. It wasn’t a waste at all.
