Chapter 436 - 437 – Meeting with first princess – part 4.
"Wait, she really knew where it was?!" – said Oron after ClownFrog ended his call with the first princess of Oin empire.
"No wait, you fuking told her about the 'staff'?! Are you fuking stupid?!"
"Do you know how risky that was?! We don't even know if she isn't working with the benefactor!"
"Well did I had any FUKING OTHER OPTION THAN GAMBLE IT?!" – shouted ClownFrog.
"…."
"Still, she did told us the possible 'staff' that these guys are looking for." – said GreyHunt who was annoyed because of the ClownFrog.
"So, there is an solid chance that the first princess isn't the traitor."
"However, now we have another problem being the location of that possible 'staff'. An capital city of the Oin empire that is currently under the control of the first prince… Welp, this got annoying."
"And its not like we can warn the first prince, since A, he is an greedy bastard and B, that 'staff' could be some sort of hidden overpowered weapon that he could use against us."
"Or there is an chance that this bastard had became new "FRIEND" with the 'benefactor'."
"…."
"Should we focus on crushing the first prince ASAP then?"
"But won't that give the second prince time to prepare though?" – said Oron.
"Shouldn't we still focus on pushing both of these guys equal?"
"And remember, we have an limited amount of time before these two attack the first princess."
"…."
"Wait, do we even need to rescue her now?" – asked GreyHunt.
"WE HAVE THE INFORMATIONS WE NEEDED!"
"The contract wasn't made and there wasn't any announcement yet!"
"Your conversation with the first princess was secret as well, with only you and her being allowed to use the mirror and be on the meeting."
"We can pretend that the conversation never had happened and we can just destroy the first princess faction!"
"She fucked up! The only reason why the hell we hesitated was because of the informations, but now the only thing that was protecting is gone, we are free to do what ever we want to do now!"
"…. Well, GreyHunt isn't wrong…. We can just pretend that the deal never had happened, since there was neither an official declaration NOR we had signed the contract yet." – said Oron.
"She is "FUCKED" …. But are we sure about this?"
"I mean, would she really make that kind of stupid mistake?"
"From what we found out, she isn't some stupid leader, but instead an smart one as well as an talented politician."
"Would it make sense… I don't know… For her to possible have something like an recorder on her that recorded the whole conversation you two had? There are magic tools that can work like telephones and stuff, so wouldn't recorded already be existing in this world?"
"…. Ah… Shit…. Yea, you may be right." – said annoyed GreyHunt.
"We had Blueberry check the mirror, but there was no problem, but there is no saying that the princess wouldn't be using some extra device on her end in secret."
"…."
"Tch. Yea, we can't fuking risk it…. That fuking bitch."
"…"
*Sigh*
"So, what the fuck do we do?" – asked GreyHunt.
"We need to focus on stabilizing our kingdom, that is right now our main objective, but what next?"
"Do we try and connect our kingdom with the first princess territory? Or do we focus on destroying the first prince faction?"
"Yea… That is the problem…. But shouldn't both problems get resolved if we were to defeat the first prince faction? If we defeat him and steal his territory, we would have an path that would connect both us and the first princess faction."
"True…. But the problem is the location." – said GreyHunt as he took out the map and rolled it down on the table.
"The capital city of the Oin empire is here, while the first princess territory is here."
"If we want to get to the first princess, we would need to go through the second prince territory mostly."
"We can also make an connection through conquering the first prince territory, but it would take us time."
"However, if we were to try and make an line to connect OUR and the first princess territory, then it would possible give the time for the 'benefactor' to make the move and secure the staff."
"And if we would want to both options at the same time, the capital city and the first princess territory, then we would need to go like this, in line, then split up in two separated directions."
"Hm.. Yea, this is an somewhat big problem." – said ClownFrog.
"Strategically, it would have been far better to conquer the first prince territory and get the capital city."
"However, we don't know how long the first princess can hold on by herself without our support."
"She won't spread the news about us being in alliance nor she won't talk too much about the staff."
"We discussed the possibility that the 'benefactor' may have planed spies in her faction or the spies of the first prince and the second prince could be gathering the information and that would result in them finding about the 'staff' AND where it is."
"So, like what? She cannot operate and do stuff? Do we have to do everything for her? For fuck sake." – said annoyed GreyHunt.
"Well, I don't think so. She will definitely have some means of gathering the informations and you remember these intruders that once managed to get to our hidden city in the past? They are maybe working for the first princess and if they do, then things may end up somewhat better than we had expected?" – said ClownFrog.
"…."
"Well, if you say so… Still, what do we do?" – said Oron.
"Do we go with A – get to the first princess ASAP."
"B – Conquer the first prince territory."
"Or C – focus on the first princess and the capital city by splitting our forces."
"Let me remind you, we cannot take any actions right now, so we have some time to decide, however, it would be for the best if we came up with the plan before the chaos within out kingdoms somewhat calms downs, allowing us to move again."
"Agree…. But honestly I'm more in favor regarding the conquest of the first prince territory." – said ClownFrog.
"Oh? I though you would want to aim for the first princess first though?" – said GreyHunt.
"I know… And honestly it does make sense, but let's say that the greedy first prince became an new friend of the 'benefactor' and he gets his hands on the humanoid monsters?" – said ClownFrog.
"The third prince was an complete retard and was easily manipulated, while also don't carrying about consequences of his actions, but the first prince isn't like him."
"He is an leader that can think…. However, he is extremely greedy and ambitious. He was also working with the third prince when they launched an invasion on our original continent."
"…. True… If he is that greedy, then reality of him becoming friends with the 'benefactor' and producing the humanoid monsters is very highly likely to happened." – said Oron.
"But I also don't like the second prince."
"This guy, he hides a lot and he is an professional schemer."
"Honestly, I think he is far more dangerous than the first prince and the only reason why the first prince wasn't crushed yet was because of his military power."
"But is he greedy enough to sacrifice his own people and straight up become the "Devil" in their eyes? Just how third prince did?" – asked GreyHunt.
"Honestly, I think the first prince is the greediest one among the heirs, meaning that it would make more sense for him to now work with the 'benefactor'."
"I say we conquer the first prince territory."
"But what about the second prince? If we want to conquer the first prince territory, we would need to mobilize an large amount of troops we have AND that could possibly leave an opening for the second prince… And that bastard will definitely use it." – said Oron.
"Not only that, but I doubt our little strategy from before with the whole infecting people with vampirism and having them go berserk, forcing the faction to focus on these wild vampire monsters instead of us, would this time worked."
"So, what do we do?"
"The first prince military may not have been as the humanoid monsters army, however they are still strong and not only that but they also have an proper fortified defenses."
"We won't be dealing with some disorganized soldiers as well, but an real and proper soldiers."
"This also includes capitans, generals and all other high ranking people leading them. These guys won't be some brain dead idiots, unlike the third prince generals."
"Conquering the first prince territory WILL take time and things would get annoying if the second prince would launch an full out attack or he would send his forces to support the first prince forces."
"We can't rush it."
"If we do, we may end up taking an decision that will fuck us all over big time."
"So, lets strategies and find the plan that will deal with our problems."
