Chapter 527: CLVI. I love you too
"Great, then let’s set off immediately. We will head to the fortress where Crocodile Island’s lord is located for a meeting. The lord will also lend you manpower, including officers. Commanding army officers, isn’t that prestigious? At that time, the East Sea Governor will call the shots, and even the Holy Spirit wouldn’t dare to disobey."
The Aran Envoy was fawning, instantly raising Liszt’s status.
"Mere words are not enough; the sincerity of Crocodile Island is still insufficient. I, Liszt, have some reputation in the underworld. I once served time in the Northern Realm, gained enlightenment in Dragon Field, and now, colluding with the government would ruin my reputation completely. This is a high-stakes gamble, so it has to succeed, failure is not an option."
Liszt was talking at full speed.
The Aran Envoy was extremely pleased, like a top scholar passing the imperial exam, cutting to the chase. What Liszt said assured him completely.
"Brothers, do this: go back and tell Crocodile Island to withdraw its people from the strongholds around Drifting City. I need to account to Uborio as well. Once withdrawn, you won’t even need to create gaps in your line; I will immediately dispatch a surprise attack squad to decapitate the cult leader. After the captain of the Eighteenth Formation succeeds, it won’t be too late to meet with Mr. Crocodile. No merit, no reward."
Liszt planned a trap within a trap within a trap.
Three birds with one stone.
If Magnus is an ultimate tough guy and indeed dismembers Zote’s mother, I, the East Sea King, will acknowledge you as the strongest.
Liszt would then celebrate and, taking advantage of Crocodile Island’s unpreparedness, kill Crocodile Island’s lord. His current power controls one-eighth of the continent’s strength. Does Crocodile Island stand a chance against him? Those worthless subordinates will be easily killed, including the remaining Black Sail members under Sha Ge Chuanche. He also has the support of Lostra, bringing two thousand desperados.
Absolute victory, marrying Su Yizhana, becoming the Mulong Regent King, reaching the pinnacle of life.
