Chapter 194 - 17: Lich
"He was winning over the people’s hearts in the city, and many were beginning to change their impressions of him. If this continues, the situation will turn unfavorable for us."
"If we launch a crusade against Holy Knight Gray, but the people choose to believe in him, our position will become incredibly awkward."
"He is a very insidious and ruthless person. Our original intention was to give him time to consider, but he seems to have never considered our suggestions, even turning them to his advantage. From the beginning, he wanted to reverse the people’s perception of him, thereby reversing the entire situation."
"Your Majesty, regarding Holy Knight Gray, I suggest you make a decision quickly. For the sake of the Gustav Empire, we can no longer delay."
This was the advice given to Cedric V by his advisors.
"Respected Dragon God, please tell me, should I take action?" Cedric V prayed.
"Are you certain he is trying to change the situation?" a male voice asked.
"Isn’t he?" a female voice retorted.
"*Fanatics cannot compromise, but the thoughts of fanatics are also easy to predict,*" the male voice said, "I don’t think he is doing this to change the situation. If he had such a thought, it would indicate he has already compromised. In this case, we could certainly make him compromise more. Of course, he cannot be unaware of this result. But I tend to think he is actually committing suicide, forcing us to make a decision. These bizarre fanatics always consider sacrifice to be the highest honor. Their thought patterns are hard to understand. Unlike us, they easily do things that cause mutual destruction.*"
