"Malfurion has suppressed the matter again, but it seems that he is also starting to be forced to do nothing?"

In front of the shadow, the tall and hideous figure asked.

"Yes, my lord, at first, Malfurion seemed to want to deal with it internally and find out the real culprit. But our spies thwarted his plans at our behest, and made the upper echelons of the Church of Life aware of it—and now, under pressure, Malfurion has ordered that if no more evidence can be found to prove the rangers' innocence, they will take action. ”

The Ranger Legion's investigation is ongoing, and they can only find clues that point to the druids. Now, too, their emotions are becoming more and more unstable. The lower echelons of the Cult of Deity are in turmoil, and it is said that there have been several large-scale conflicts with the Life Cult. And the upper echelons of the Divine Cult have repeatedly exerted pressure, and Cenarius has tried his best to suppress it, but it is becoming more and more inadequate. ”

"These two fires are now getting bigger and bigger according to our plan."

The Shadow replied respectfully.

……

"Yo...... Well done. ”

"I have to say that the presidents of the two major legions of the Elven Empire are not in vain - in such a situation, they also suppressed their emotions very well, and did their best for the stability of the country...... Worthy of Malfurion and Cenarius......"

"But what can you do? By the time we detonated two fires...... While you are anxious, the Elven Royal Family and the Life Sect of the Nature Sect can only work hard for them who beg my great barbarian clan not to interfere in the civil strife, and they are even more powerless to resist our demands......"

The tall figure nodded in satisfaction, and even smiled proudly.

……

"Yes, sir."

"By the way, and, my lord. Did the Druid Legion's spy request spread this news to the Life Cultists? On that flame that was about to erupt...... Fuel up? For this matter, the subordinates do not dare to judge themselves, please ...... Adults make it clear. ”

The shadow smiled in agreement, and then, as if he remembered something again, asked again.

The tall figure frowned suddenly.

"Our spy is in such a hurry...... You know, the murder of the Ranger and the murder of the Druid, the reason why these two things didn't happen quickly, but happened slowly, was that they worked according to the best time that we deduced from the human heart. ”

"First of all, let the two rangers who happened to have a disagreement with a few druids while they were out and about, and then index the line to those druids. Then, kill two more druids, but index the line to the Ranger's head. Such a thing, while piling up wages on fire, is also a natural comparison. ”

……

"Otherwise, wouldn't it be better if we killed the Ranger today, the druid tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow directed a large-scale cannibalism between them? But why don't we do it? ”

"Don't underestimate others, and don't think they're stupid. I estimate that even if we do these things so secretly and naturally, there will always be careful people who suspect that this is a conspiracy, not a natural occurrence - after all, although there is no flaw in these two things, the timing of their appearance is inevitably too coincidental. ”

"Therefore, we must not be in a hurry and not show any flaws. Be secretive and make everything flow. Just like when we let the upper echelons of the Life God Sect know about this matter this time, we waited patiently for a few days, and even arranged a perfect opportunity to naturally reveal it-"

……

"In this way, we can cover up the traces of the conspiracy to a minimum, and cover us up well - we are only here to ask for the holy water of life, and we have been focusing on this, what happened to you has nothing to do with us."

"In this way, we will be able to stealthily, step by step, achieve our plan to quickly seize the Holy Water of Life and hasten the recovery of Our Majesty - in short, be patient. When the elves are fighting each other and the water is hard to recover, that's when we're done. Do you understand? ”

He exhorted.

……

"Understood, then, my subordinates should immediately go and warn the spy not to act rashly for the time being—after all, tomorrow is the deadline for the Druid Legion to find evidence."

Shadow nodded convincingly.

"If they can't find it, Malfurion will have a hard time suppressing the news, and the druids will probably storm the rangers' camp in anger and demand that the rangers hand over the murderer."

"And more importantly...... As long as the druids make a move, the news will inevitably reach the people. So...... The Life Cultists who seemed to have suffered from some grievances in the first two brawls...... Even more so when you hear the news, you will be furious. ”

"In that case...... From the army to the people, from top to bottom, when they all regard each other as blood enemies and even more red-eyed, they are afraid that they will fight if they don't fight, and the Elven Empire will naturally be chaotic if it is not chaotic! ”

Then the shadow smirked, laughing at the same time as the tall figure.

～～～～～～～～～

"My lord, please allow us to question the rangers at once, and ask them to hand over the murderer and pay the bloody debt! Our appointed time has come, and Your Excellency the High Priest has acquiesced in our actions - we can't be silent any longer! ”

The next day, at dawn, a red glow loomed in the shade of the World Tree of Life, and in a druid tree house, there was a gloomy atmosphere—in which Oak was speaking with tears in his eyes.

Malfurion sat on the throne with a heavy face, and he sighed leisurely.

"Okay, then-"

His voice was cut off suddenly.

……

"My lord, but we haven't obtained definite evidence yet, so let's make a rash attack, I'm afraid that even if we find out that it wasn't done by the rangers in the future, we won't be able to stop it, and the country will be in chaos!"

Bernardo stood up with a worried face and said.

"Bernaldo! What do you mean! ”

Oak was already furious: "Two brothers were shamelessly murdered by the rangers for inexplicable crimes, and we continue to watch like this? Are you still not a noble druid officer, are you a noble believer in life? ”

He rebuked in a rage, and the angry druid generals in the room immediately looked at him with dissatisfaction.

……

"My lord, I'm just ......"

Bernaldo stammered for a moment.

"I also hate those shameless murderers, but...... Once we put this into action, everyone will know. Then, I'm afraid that there will never be peace in the country from now on, and we have to take care of the overall situation......"

He said.

"What's the big picture? The big picture is that the Cult of Nature is pressing forward step by step, and we are retreating step by step—how many years, when has the glory of life fallen to such a point in our empire? If we don't do something about it, I'm afraid the empire won't have a place for us! ”

Oak retorted angrily.

……

"But...... But I once consulted a master about it, and he still hasn't come to a conclusion...... Why don't we wait for the master to come to a conclusion? ”

Bernardo hesitated.

"What?!"

Oak had already changed color again, and even Malfurion looked at him with dissatisfaction.

"Your Excellency has repeatedly ordered that you are not allowed to leak the news, and you treat the military order like this? I said, "Why did the Great Priest get the news so quickly?" Also, who the hell is that master? ”

Oak asked in a flurry of questions.

……

"He was a learned master, his incomparably profound knowledge, his noble and very virtuous character, his deep love for his country**, and enough for us to trust him - this could not have been revealed by him, and the news leaked out before I could have found Master Kyle."

Bernaldo immediately pleaded.

"Bernaldo, what the hell is going on? Why did you say you had to wait for that...... Kyle's conclusion? Tell me more about it. ”

Oak was about to have a seizure, but Malfurion spoke in a deep voice, and he spoke slowly.

……

"That's ............"

Bernardo settled down, and he had already revealed what he knew about Yang Linkai.

"So, I only met Master Kyle by coincidence - and I'm sure he can help us find the culprit!"

"Bastard! Do you think he is God? Even the god of the stars in our ancient legends can only trace what has happened - is he the god of the stars? Do you believe that kind of folk rumor? ”

Oak was furious.

"But he did accurately judge the time, place, and even the person of my injuries - how could he have known that these things had happened in a military camp that was strictly kept secret, and that it was heavily guarded and unattended for a few days?"

Bernardo argued stubbornly.

……

There was a lot of discussion in the treehouse, some of them angrily accused Bernaldo of being confused, some of them were full of suspicion and hesitation, and a small number of people did not believe what Bernaldo said, but they also said good things for Bernaldo.

"Don't make any noise!"

It wasn't until Malfurion slapped his hand on the table angrily that the crowd fell silent.

"Then let that Master Kyle come over, didn't you say he should have figured it out-"

"If he really helps us find the culprit, and even if we find the slightest suspicion that we don't know, we will surely reward him. I will not prosecute you for disobeying military orders and leaking great secrets to the people—you should know what a catastrophe it will cause if we let our people know about it! ”

"And if he doesn't help us in any way...... Take off your uniform, Bernaldo. ”

He gave Bernardo a deep look and said.

……

Bernardo slammed into a slump, and his body trembled.

"Yes! The subordinates will send someone to find Master Kyle! My subordinates also believe that Master Kyle will never lie to me! ”

He replied sadly, but his expression was also full of trust and stubbornness for his friend.

"If that's the case, that's for the best."

Malfurion glanced deeply at Bernardo again, his eyes flashing with appreciation, but he nodded indifferently. (To be continued.) )
