(195) Opportunity in Despair
update icon Updated at 2025/6/30 8:10:12

In Allen's tent, a meeting was being held by Tiny.

The seating was arranged in two rows, with Allen sitting at the head of the table. On each side, two people sat facing each other.

The closer the position was to Allen, the more trusted the person should be.

Currently, Cyclone was sitting in the first position to the right of Allen, followed by Sonja and Bettina.

On the opposite side, Cyclone's left, was Daniel.

Next to Daniel was Basbasi, followed by Churchill.

"Indeed, the Steel Tribe launched an attack," Sonja explained the situation.

"No problem," Cyclone replied.

"Are you so sure, my Lord?"

"Well~ We've already made a plan, right, Daniel?"

Cyclone raised his hands and teasingly passed the question to Daniel.

"Yes, the plan is in place," Daniel confirmed. However, Basbasi still felt uneasy.

"What... did you do?"

"Oh, nothing much. Just sent a letter," Cyclone shrugged. He was used to Daniel's arrogance and now found his confident attitude natural.

"A letter!? Can a letter really counter the Steel Tribe?"

As a vice general, Basbasi's own experience told him it was impossible. Unfortunately, his lack of experience was a major weakness in his growth.

"The Steel Tribe is already in a civil war. With the expansionist faction and the Eastern Sea defenders clashing, I simply sent a letter to the Eastern Sea faction," Cyclone explained.

"Do you really think they will help us?" It was not Basbasi, but Bettina who asked the question.

Cyclone looked at Bettina's smug expression. She must have thought she had caught Daniel's mistake. But in reality, it was just another opportunity for Daniel to show off.

"Of course not," Daniel calmly replied.

"That's why I simply wrote in the letter, 'If the expansionist faction attacks, no one will defend.'"

Meaning, regardless of whether the Eastern Sea faction helps or not, if the expansionist faction attacks, their defenses will be weakened.

It was a tactical move only someone like Daniel could come up with. Instead of directly asking for help from the Eastern Sea faction, he lured them into attacking the expansionist faction.

The Demon Annihilation War was already in its middle stage, and this meeting was the last one. The final topic was the witch, Yuna.

"It has been confirmed that the witch, Yuna, is currently at the Tower of Lust," Daniel reported to King Allen.

"Impressive, Arrogance," Allen commented.

"Yes, Your Majesty. But thanks to Cyclone, there are no hidden worries in this war anymore," Daniel said, smiling.

While Cyclone responded with a smile, he was actually anxious. His calm demeanor was just a facade. His plans had already been shattered, and now everyone knew Chio's true identity.

But for them, Cyclone has achieved another great feat.

While Churchill could only hold Yuna back, Cyclone's trump card, Chio, can now fight against her, increasing Daniel's winning rate from 99% to 100%.

Cyclone has lost its original plan and can only pretend to be cool, with no substantial gains.

If Chio's identity is exposed, even if a girl with six attributes dies now, it cannot be confirmed to be Yuna.

"Hmm."

Cyclone could only answer like this.

"We no longer need to hold back in a defensive manner, both Churchill and Chio..."

Daniel looked at Cyclone.

"I know it, it was originally my plan."

After receiving Cyclone's answer, King Allen and Daniel both nodded happily.

"As for the lust side, I will trouble Brother Cyclone."

Under the despairing scenery, Cyclone now has only one last chance.
