Chapter 50: Scheming
"Ahem——!" Sitting on a chair, Bahad Khan deliberately attracted the attention of the entire room.
"So, let's get started!"
Exaggerated arms outstretched, the imaginary echo didn't appear - Max was looking at the ornaments with a bored expression, Camille was smirking in anger, and Anderson was thinking about how to quickly start killing the bastard without even raising his head.
Weiznan laboriously wiped away the tears that could barely be stopped under his mask, and Nagash was quietly casting a spell, ready to kill the fool named Bahad as soon as he started to do so. Kassandra is trying to tempt her sweetheart with her "affectionate" gaze, but unfortunately the Demon King's gaze at this time is actually passing through the mural on the wall where she is looking...
As for Karn, he had a look of "Why isn't it over yet, I'm going to fight!" Grimnir was looking at Kassandra with hatred as he tried to tuck his newly grown beard behind the iron armor, and as for Akon, his dark black full helmet, he sat motionless, and the devil knew what he was thinking.
In short, no one cares about Bahad's position at all, everyone has their own affairs, it's just the rules of the Brotherhood that they came here, which can be regarded as giving the Brotherhood a face, but for the mentally handicapped and reckless Bahad, these powers really don't want to give any face.
Bahad, who was about to have a seizure, glanced at the flickering eerie black light on the dwarf's axe and Nagash's troll staff on the side, and thought that nothing had happened.
After all, it would be absolutely unwise for the Brotherhood, a mortal power that relies only on a large number of people, to offend archmages and demigods at a time when there is no advantage in numbers—the Great Khan who died unexpectedly had proven this truth before.
Barely squeezing out a smile that was more ugly than crying, Bahad was like a clown, ignoring everyone's wordless ridicule, and continued the "words" he had prepared for a long time.
"So, which one is the strongest person who helped the Brotherhood regain the territory from Old Joe? I still want to thank you in person. ”
This is a knowingly asked, and everyone present is a person who understands, but they all want to see what Max, as the latest superior, will do.
"It's—"
The honest answer made Camille grow up in surprise, he didn't expect that he had asked so hard that Max was really bluffed by Bahad. I wanted to remind him, but I didn't have the opportunity, so I could only open my mouth and be in a hurry.
As the smirk on his lips became more pronounced, Bahad felt that his plan had succeeded—a landmine had been planted in what seemed like a normal problem.
If you really want to ask, then you only need to ask who is the new Warlord or the current leader of the Immortal City, but Bahad cleverly asked who is the one who "helps the Brotherhood take back". In other words, no matter whether Max answers or not, he is swearing that the "City of Redemption" that the Demon King and they occupy is actually the territory of the Bitter Spring Brotherhood, but after being snatched away by Old Joe, it is now being snatched back. From the very beginning, he put himself on the moral and theoretical high ground of the whole, and although Bahad was known for his brute force, he was not a fool, and he was still very good at this kind of political trick.
Sure enough, it's just a mediocre idiot! Thinking so, Bahad was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue. Unexpectedly, the Demon King's words were not finished.
"—but I didn't help anyone, I just grabbed a place to stay."
The flat tone, but with a strong sense of provocation, made the atmosphere of the venue gradually scorch.
"Oh? So, do you want to eat this territory yourself?! ”
In contrast, Bahad was not a patient lord, and when he heard this, he was furious, and stood up directly, forcing him to look at the demon king who still had a calm face. The loudspeaker-like voice was full of firepower, and everyone's ears buzzed.
"yes" plucked his ears indifferently, as if he was indeed shocked by the roar and had a little earache.
"What? What is the dissenting opinion of the Great Khan of Bahad? "A beautiful counter-attack, straight in front of Bahad, is also an interesting question.
It is clear to everyone that one of the reasons why the four forces have been at peace since Bahad's usurpation of power is that they now only occupy a piece of territory that is not much different in size.
If Bahad Khan had made it clear that he wanted to reclaim this land and turn the Brotherhood's territory into two, it would be equivalent to the sum of the current "betrayal" Karn and "Endless One" Weznan.
At this time, these two masters who directly single-handedly killed the Great Khan and grabbed the land will definitely kill Bahad on the spot to the point that there is not even a scum left, and if Bahad does not answer, then it is tacitly that there is no opinion on the "possession of this land" proposed by the Demon King.
Unlike the brave Bahad, the Demon King doesn't care so much about his feelings, as long as he makes a move, he will directly force the opponent to a dead end, which is not the same as just now, this choice basically Bahad has to make, and as long as he makes the wrong choice, the end is a dead end.
In more than a dozen lines of interest, the strong man in a gorgeous coat began to grit his teeth as if he was in a sauna, large drops of sweat fell from the top of his head, and the sweat was shattered in the Milky Way on the table, looking unexpectedly beautiful.
In his brain, there was a frenzied operation going on, and no matter what, his first priority was to keep himself alive. There are two paths in front of us now - first, admit that you want to reclaim the territory of the Immortal City, and then find a way to buy Karn and Verznan so that they don't care about these lands; The second is to deny it first, and then directly regret killing Max, but when he sees Camille smiling on the side, he knows that this will definitely not work.
It was clear that Bahad now knew why Camille had to follow. There were seven or eight of his retinue in this room, and he could only be sure that three of them were not Camille's people, and the others would probably immediately start to denounce the land once they proposed not to do so, which would then cause a large-scale revolt.
Suddenly, as if kissed on the forehead by the goddess of luck, a poisonous plan appeared in the brain that was already smoking because of the high-speed operation.
Bahad decided to treat him the way he was a man, since whether it is an archmage, a conspirator, or a demigod killing god, he has to look at his appearance and want his life, then he might as well come to a mountain and watch the tiger fight, and it would be good to be a fisherman.
Pretending to stretch his legs easily, Bahad wiped the sweat from his face, spread his hands out, pretended to hug generously, and said with a smile
"So, I'm okay with it now, but I'm afraid that Lord Blood God and Lord Endless won't just look at you like an ordinary boy who seems to have fallen from the sky and sit on an equal footing with them, right?"
