Chapter 382: 359. One person can lie, can two people also lie?
When Charles reappeared before everyone, there was already a monkey behind him…
Well, a Silverback Ape Person!
Qiudelo, filled with anger yet helpless, burst out in emotion when he saw Antonio, shouting, “Give back the stick.”
Charles hurriedly stopped him, saying, “What stick? That’s the heirloom of the Brittany Family and it has nothing to do with you.”
Charles felt that his words were sowhat flattering, but he had no choice. This was Anne’s brother who had just acknowledged his relationship with Anne, so so flattery was necessary, especially since being a math teacher wasn’t exactly a profession known for integrity.
Antonio was actually planning to return the Dragon Slaying Stick. As the eldest son of the Brittany Family, he was quite upright, but under Charles’s strong persuasion, he reluctantly accepted this Sacred Weapon.
...
At this mont, the impression of Charles among all the knights of the Brittany Family soared!
Antonio was destined to be the next head of the Brittany Family. These Sacred Order knights would be the core of Antonio’s future team. They were loyal to this young master and naturally wanted him to grow stronger, capable of rivaling the Old Earl, and even becoming the next strongest person in Fars.
Earl Brittany had a Sacred Handgun, but in battles of the Sacred Order, firearms were far less effective than cold weapons. The mode of combat was different, significantly so from that of common folk. But how could one easily obtain a Sacred Extraordinary Item? Even Earl Brittany couldn’t just acquire one at will; one had to take what one could get, unable to customize or seek out a perfectly suited weapon.
Although Antonio was trained in traditional knight gunmanship, switching to a stick was not a big problem, as the techniques of guns and sticks had been interchangeable since ancient tis. Once Antonio beca slightly acquainted with it, he could fully unleash the power of this Sacred Weapon, and with a Sacred Transcendent Weapon in hand, it was possible that this eldest son of the Brittany Family could indeed rival his father!
The knights of the Brittany Family, who had so complaints before setting out due to Anne’s elopent which disrupted many of Earl Brittany’s arrangents, would of course not bla their young lady. Instead, they focused their resentnt on Charles. After eting him and seeing his comndable performance, the knights begrudgingly recognized him, but it was not until this mont that they truly accepted Charles as “one of their own.”
No one was blaming Charles anymore for letting Miss Annie leave ho to go to the most dangerous front line.
After all, obtaining a Sacred Extraordinary Item was enough to offset everything.
In this world, strength was supre!
Every improvent in Antonio Brittany’s strength was in the best interest of the Brittany Family.
Although Qiudelo was badly injured, he was still of the Sacred Order with astonishing recovery abilities. In just a short while, he was able to move around freely, and though he needed seven or eight days of rest to fight again, rallying his subordinates and collecting the Beastman army was not a problem.
Qiudelo and Tumishen, unlike the Black Dragon and Agon, was a competent commander. The Beastman of the Sacred Order successfully rallied his subordinates, but he also was worried, so he secretly went to the Old Leopard Man and asked, “I heard that the Head of the McAllen family only wants non-cannibalistic individuals, the rest must all beco Labyrinth Guardians!”
“Becoming a Labyrinth Guardian isn’t unacceptable, but Evil Spirits cannot breed descendants, and the Silverback Ape People might go extinct!”
Tumishen said aningfully, “You can have your subordinates say that they don’t eat humans, have never eaten humans before, and will never eat humans.”
Qiudelo exclaid in surprise, “Charles is so easy to deceive?”
Tumishen replied indifferently, “It’s not that he’s easy to deceive, it’s that he’s giving the beastn one last chance.”
Qiudelo shivered slightly, understanding what he needed to do.
Later, when Charles was distinguishing those who did not eat humans, there were indeed so beastn who weren’t very smart and still slipped up. These beastn were all transported to Dubrovnik City and transford into Labyrinth Guardians, while those who insisted they had never eaten humans from childhood were sent to Cappadocia City. After undergoing the Beast God Shapeshifting Art and training in Fals Language and Inglima Language, they were integrated into the local life.
While Charles was consolidating his gains, Black Dragon also took ti to visit Red Cliff City from the beastn camp. When he learned that Qiudelo had already been “surrendered” by Charles and had swallowed a beastn army of thirty thousand, he was greatly shocked. This required more commanding ability than if nine Sacred Order mbers had joined together to kill Qiudelo and slaughter the thirty thousand beastn.
The forr only needs strong power and rciless slaughter, but the latter requires profound wisdom, charismatic character, and exceptional vision and insights.
The old lizard firmly believed: Relying purely on strength and slaughter, the beastn have no future! Beastn don’t need strong warriors and military commanders; beastn need a perfect leader, only a leader who can clear all obstacles, can carve out a future for beastn.
Charles perfectly t Black Dragon’s expectations, especially Charles’s handling of the thirty thousand army, which made Black Dragon even more devoted. He had originally thought Charles would slaughter all the beastn.
Although he could accept that, it would still hurt.
Upon Black Dragon’s arrival, Charles convened a brief eting, unanimously agreeing to let Qiudelo remain Qiudelo, and the Old Leopard Man would also still infiltrate back into the beastn camp.
Antonio originally wanted to propose a direct assault on Amis Fidath; he was not afraid of the King of Ten Thousand Lions, but given that he had just acquired the Dragon Slaying Stick, and needed so ti to master this beastn divine weapon. The Brittany Family’s family motto never to take unnecessary risks unless absolutely necessary, also influenced him to wait until he could operate the Dragon Slaying Stick proficiently and genuinely increase his strength before challenging the King of Ten Thousand Lions.
Although Charles too considered letting Antonio take action, he quickly dismissed the idea. Now, he was different from a few days ago, having gained strong followers. He could not let his followers feel that he could only rely on Antonio, and besides, the plan itself had a good chance of success. If he could further weaken Amis Fidath, the battle would be even more secure.
With the departure of the three beastn of the Sacred Order, Charles initially wanted to abandon Red Cliff City, but after long consideration, he chose to maze-ify the city instead. Red Cliff City was an extrely important port, larger than the port in Dubrovnik City and capable of accommodating more ships, thus providing support for Sabastine’s fleet.
Amis Fidath, watching Qiudelo lying on the ground, crying his heart out, had a dark expression. Not long ago, Black Dragon intended to get rid of those who did not eat humans, but Bull Demon Samson stole all the food, even taking the Lizard Tribespeople. Since then, Black Dragon’s personality had greatly changed. Now it was Qiudelo’s turn, and although Qiudelo’s departure greatly displeased Amis Fidath, it was clear that Bull Demon Samson stealing so many beastn was an act of defiance against him.
Amis Fidath did not doubt the words of the two Sacred Order mbers!
One person could lie, but could two people still lie?
