Chapter 1135: 510: The path to rebellion and self-establishnt! Chieftain’s daughter sacrifices herself!
Upon hearing her daughter’s response, Chief Constantine wasn’t surprised.
The reason was simple: she was infatuated with Lanling, and so she wanted to kill him.
This might sound absurd, but it was both real and completely logical.
Because Nini’an had to win at everything, carrying an insatiable desire for control over everything, especially when it ca to matters of love and relationships.
She needed others to be infatuated with her, while she effortlessly manipulated their emotions, commanding them to do this or that, which gave her a sense of superiority.
But when it ca to Lanling, it seed this approach didn’t work.
Her feelings for Lanling made it hard for her to maintain absolute composure when facing him, so emotionally, she lost her advantage.
Thus, if she killed Lanling, it would put an end to everything.
Constantine pondered for a mont, then said, “His demonic talent is truly rare. Gaining him is better than an army of thousands. So, let’s give him one more chance.”
“Even if we give him another chance, I don’t think he’ll betray Suo Mo,” Nini’an replied.
“That’s not certain,” Constantine said. “How long has he been in contact with Suo Mo? Just a re ten days or so. The so-called familial ties of blood are still relatively weak. The reason he’s unwilling to betray Suo Mo is because Suo Mo has made sacrifices for him. To save his daughter, Suo Mo traveled far to capture a griffin, and to give Lanling a proper gift, he even captured three griffins at once. Just a few hours ago, Suo Mo chose demonization to save Lanling. We both know the cost of demonization is steep—it exhausts one’s vitality and martial strength considerably.”
Nini’an nodded, acknowledging her father’s reasoning.
Constantine continued, “But if Lanling’s feelings for you surpass his allegiance to Suo Mo, he might betray Suo Mo.”
Nini’an’s eyes narrowed upon hearing this, her mood noticeably sour.
In her eyes, any man’s love for her ought to be unconditional and profound, surpassing all other emotions.
Constantine said, “Lanling’s current feelings for you stem purely from desire between n and won—passionate, but not yet deep. With your skills, I believe you can make him unable to resist you, ultimately betraying Suo Mo for you. So, I want to give him one more chance, and also give ourselves one more chance. After all, it would be a pity to waste such a rare talent simply by killing him.”
Nini’an asked, “Father, do you want to seduce him?”
“Yes, seduce him,” Constantine said. “We’ll give him twenty days.”
Nini’an questioned, “Why twenty days?”
Constantine replied, “Because Suo Mo’s weakened state from demonization lasts only twenty days to a month. After twenty days, Suo Mo will regain sixty to seventy percent of his martial strength—at that point, eliminating him will beco much harder.”
Nini’an’s beautiful eyes trembled as she asked, “Father, you… you even want to eliminate Suo Mo?”
Constantine said, “This is a once-in-a-lifeti opportunity. Suo Mo’s martial strength is too overwhelming, and after demonization, it’s even more astonishing! Right now, his post-demonization weakness is the perfect mont to eliminate him. If we miss this opportunity, it may never co again.”
Nini’an thought it over and found her father’s words to be true.
Suo Mo, although almost overly righteous to the point of rigidity, held nearly unrivaled martial strength and was incredibly alert.
Under normal circumstances, killing him would be imnsely difficult and co at a trendous cost.
His demonization-induced weakness, where his martial strength greatly diminished, was the optimal window of opportunity.
Constantine said, “Lanling is truly exceptional, an unbelievable prodigy. And his achievents on the battlefield will surely spread—might other tribes co to poach him?”
“They will!” Nini’an replied. “The most likely to take him is the Wild Horse Tribe.”
Constantine nodded, saying, “Indeed. Lanling’s exceptional nature is sothing the Chief of the Wild Horse Tribe understands very well. The Wild Horse Tribe is currently facing its greatest crisis—they desperately need soone like Lanling. And if the Wild Horse Tribe offers to fully accept the Foreign Tribe Army and even marries the Chief’s daughter to Lanling, do you think it would be tempting?”
Nini’an responded sharply, “Lanling must absolutely not join the Wild Horse Tribe! Even if we have to destroy him, kill him—he cannot fall into their hands.”
Constantine said, “However, if we kill Lanling, we must also kill Suo Mo.”
Nini’an didn’t ask why. The situation was already abundantly clear: Suo Mo not only viewed Lanling as his successor but also as his own kin.
If Lanling were killed, Suo Mo would fight to the death.
Thus, if they were to kill, both Lanling and Suo Mo must die together.
“Lanling’s demonic talent is truly rare,” Constantine said. “So we’ll give him twenty days. If he chooses wisely, pledging his allegiance to and severing ties with Suo Mo, he can not only live but also marry you. Otherwise, he’ll perish alongside Suo Mo.”
Nini’an asked, “Father, if Lanling pledges his loyalty to you, how do you plan to use him?”
Constantine replied, “As a lone commander, never allowing him to hold actual military authority. I would permit his martial skills to develop to so degree, but the most important thing is to strictly suppress his growth—making sure he never becos too strong, ensuring we could kill him at any mont. We only need him to be a killing machine on the battlefield, nothing more. Like a loyal dog: ferocious and formidable, yes, but the key is obedience and control!”
