162,

In the new year, the first thing to come is the snowstorm of nature.

Under the heavy snow, while Mr. Cyclone does nothing, the world keeps turning.

The Western Demon Clan settlement, Seven Sins City.

The Southwest Water Sect, Holy City Kakarl.

The Southeast Steel Tribe, City of Steel.

Lastly, the northeastern academic capital, City of Dusk.

Daniel has been calculating his moves with these four cities as his targets.

Each of these cities holds individual significance. For example, Seven Sins City, although not a large city, has been a gathering place for the Demon Clan since ancient times and is the origin of evil.

Of course, Daniel doesn't believe that it is the origin of evil; that's just "common knowledge" for ordinary people. If we talk about evil, Daniel believes it originates from the greed of the human race.

However, the influence brought by "common knowledge" far exceeds ordinary estimates.

Three years ago, Daniel personally experienced this.

And the horror of Seven Sins City can be analyzed from the map of the continent.

In the past, there were five countries that wanted to eliminate it, including Allen City, City of Dusk, and Holy City Kakarl.

The other two countries?

They were destroyed.

Comparing the previous map, to the south of Seven Sins City, between it and Sunset City, there were still two large countries, but that has become the past.

Now, the closest major country to Seven Sins City in terms of distance is Allen City.

This is the most urgent crisis and the most advantageous opportunity for Daniel.

If Seven Sins City is considered the origin of evil in people's common knowledge, then all Allen City needs to do is to destroy it, and Allen City will have the absolute legitimacy to unify all regions from the west to the north of the continent.

Three years ago, Daniel made a vow to prove that she was wrong and decided to make Allen City the most powerful country in the continent.

For this reason, Daniel wants to restore Allen City's former glory that was ruined by the Grand Prime Minister and make it even stronger.

Utilize Allen City's advantages as the economic center of the continent.

First, form an alliance with City of Dusk in the northeast to fill the talent gap in Allen City.

Then look to the south, where the Water Sect and Steel Tribe have been in a perennial state of conflict.

On the one hand, they want to expand their territory, but on the other hand, they fear attacks.

The Water Sect, located in the coastal area heading south, is the most awkward. It wants to develop towards the west, where the Demon Clan resides, and towards the east, where the Steel Tribe is.

What about the north?

The Water Sect, which is based on the theory of justice and the doctrine of gods, cannot mobilize its troops without a justifiable reason.

This is why the Water Sect is united and strong, but it is also a limitation for itself.

Under normal circumstances, Daniel is not afraid of the Water Sect.

However, Daniel cannot simply mobilize troops to attack the Demon Clan either.

Because once troops are mobilized, in order to keep the people of Allen City away from the war, the Water Sect would have a reason to attack Allen City.

In addition, even if the Water Sect doesn't come, the Steel Tribe, which is in the midst of factional conflict, will attack Allen City to occupy its insufficiently defended territories for economic and trade advantages.

To avoid the southern threats, Daniel cannot recklessly deploy Allen City's forces.

On one hand, troubled by the Demon Clan, and on the other hand, unable to counterattack, the only thing Daniel can do to solve this problem is to seize his only chance without anyone noticing his intentions.

Fast, fierce, accurate. With one swing of the sword, he will capture Seven Sins City and suppress the southern threats.

The ministers of Allen City are well aware of this, so they have always been cautious of Daniel's every move.

While providing some assistance, they have also been monitoring him.

Help is given with the intention of benefiting Allen City, but surveillance is also for the sake of Allen City.

With only one chance, if it fails, it will bring about the destruction of Allen City once again, no matter how great Daniel's contributions have been in Sunset City and City of Dusk.

However, Daniel's sword had already been quietly swung out.
