Chapter 1609: Chess Pieces
The purpose of war is peace, and the premise of peace is war.
To say this is nothing more than the glorification of certain interests seekers.
How to guarantee peace?
When the interests are satisfied, there will be peace.
But is it possible for all profit seekers to pursue interests that can be satisfied?
This is of course impossible.
Not only is it impossible, but even for the vast majority of people, it is unrealistic.
Take the emperor as an example, since ancient times, have there been few people who have pursued this position?
But there are only seven people in this position in the past generations, so the question is, what about the other seekers to the throne?
Maybe it's gone, maybe it's dead, maybe even the family has been destroyed.
Success and defeat have existed since ancient times, and under the throne, there are dry bones.
Since I intend to support Rodney to become the Lord of Ari City, then all those who stand in my way will be my enemies.
Whether it's the Knights of the Round Table Guild, the Silver Wing Guild, the Golden Flame Guild, or York Hancheng and Eri City.
I don't mind that there will be a few great powers left in the Zephyr Continent in the end, as long as I can complete my plan, except for my family, there will be no one in the world who cannot be killed.
Having made up my mind, I immediately contacted Boss Wren and ordered him to give instructions to Rhodes, who was secretly accumulating power in Dasai City, to mobilize manpower to assassinate everyone in an iron mine seven kilometers south of Dasai City within a week, and at the same time selectively assassinate all the members of a random Ari City adventurer team that was harassing the borderlands of Dasai City, change the corpse into a Knights of the Round Table guild uniform, move to the iron mine, and try to disguise it as if there had been a fierce battle between the two sides.
Boss Wren, who received the order, immediately set about it.
Walking out of the tree house and walking down the street, I kept sneering.
Since you Eri City and York City want to do something, then I might as well add some material for you, and everyone can have fun together.
Seven kilometres south of Dasai City, there is an iron ore mine, which is not owned by Dasai City, but by Yorkhan.
I don't expect to cause the two countries to become enemies, but at least to make them suspicious of each other.
Two hands that can't be clenched into one fist will never be able to punch the heaviest.
As long as you can't land the heaviest punch, I'll have a way to neutralize all your remaining attacks.
After arranging these, I continued to go to the dungeon with my family to farm monsters, and as usual, it was a whole day.
On the fifth night, I received a secret letter from Boss Rennes.
MeSign said that everything was done.
In the evening, I quietly went out and went to the owner's house in Rennes to inquire about the loss.
Boss Wren was silent for a few seconds and said, "This time, we lost six good seedlings. ”
"What about the other party?" I asked, "How many people have been lost?" ”
"Forty-seven," said Boss Wren.
"What about the strength of the other party?" I asked again.
"The average strength is level five."
"Well, six of them have been lost, which is a bit much," I sighed lightly, and I said, "Send the lost ones back to your hometown for burial." ”
Leaving the house of the owner of Rennes, I felt a little desolate.
Maybe for some, it is a very good deal to exchange six people for forty-seven lives of the other party, but for me, it is not.
Assassins of Boss Wren's lineage are not as easy to train as ordinary adventurers, but they have to go through thousands of selections, go through layers of tests, and pass hellish training before they stand out and gain the right to take on missions.
My requirements for this kind of organization are that they are not expensive, even if they eliminate more people, it doesn't matter, as long as the rest are elites, it's fine.
Because of this, I have even greater expectations for the many members who have passed the test, and I am eager to see them spread their wings and soar undefeated.
However, with only two assassinations, just forty-seven adventurers of rank 5 strength, I could lose six elite assassins!
How can I not feel angry.
After thinking about it all night, I figured out a few ways to reduce the casualties of the Assassins, and that night, I approached Boss Wren and told him to listen.
The solution is actually very simple, which is to hone your strength.
However, it is not a kind of training behind closed doors, but the trained assassins are sent to the adventurer's guild, and they are allowed to fight the monsters of the dungeon, and in the process of this fighting, they gradually accumulate experience.
Naturally, the elite assassins were assigned to the new Guild of Valorant, with Jin Siqi in charge.
Assassins who failed the test were brainwashed and sent to other guilds, or asked to take their resumes and join guilds with whom they did not have a relationship.
I did this not intentionally to abandon them, but to see how much heat and light they could exert themselves.
Those Assassins who failed the test were entitled to receive the same salary from the Assassin Department as the elite Assassins who passed the test, but the amount of the salary was different, and the difference was not small.
Even so, Assassins who failed the test were paid twice as much per week as the average member of a large Adventurer's Guild.
The reason why I have laid this down is not to be merciful, but to save the Assassins who failed the test with a lot of money as my power.
These people may not make a good assassin, but they may make good adventurers, diplomats, and even good spies.
With these people, I can control and even subvert situations that seem impossible.
Some people may say that I am ungrateful for doing this, and the great grace of the lord of Dasai City has given me the absolute power of the prime minister of Dasai City under one person and above ten thousand people, why do you have such a layout in Dasai City?
I just want to say that the most ruthless emperor family, unless my interests have been completely entangled with theirs, and can no longer be separated from each other, such as the fairy queen, Master Dewey, the dwarf king, etc., in addition, even the elven queen who placed her two sisters as 'hostages' in my family cannot be absolutely trusted.
Who can guarantee that the Elven Empress will not suddenly become ferocious and personally send people to kill the two sisters and our group?
Of course, this will not happen for the time being, after all, no one wants to be an enemy of the dwarven army and the goblins with advanced technological power.
That would be very unwise.
In addition to sending personnel to the Guild, I also ordered Rhodes to send some of the untested Assassins with proper manners to the Orc King's palace to serve as attendants or maids.
I'm not worried that the Orc King will investigate the identities and origins of these people, because I am confident that even if he exhausts all his abilities, he can only investigate the basic identity of these people, that is, the identity of orphans, and as for other identities, even if he tortures these people to death, he will definitely not be able to ask a cent.
Besides, he won't do this, not only because the Orc King is a generation of heroes, but also because these people were sent to the palace by me in batches.
Unless the Orc King kills all these groups of people who have entered the palace, there is no way to clean up the chess pieces I buried in them.
