BXBX NOVEL Chapter 305 It's All Settled
Sharole shrugged, a scornful smile still on his face .
"Your words are ridiculous. A strong king can rule a strong country, but a strong country will never accept a weak king, and vice versa."
"If you had the power to defeat Siluop, would you want to become the king of a high-ranking kingdom?"
"You should remember, kingdoms that are not ancient kingdoms cannot survive and develop on their own. They all have to rely on stronger kingdoms, including high-ranking kingdoms."
"Look at the whole world, Rafos, have you seen any high-ranking kingdom that was not a vassal of an ancient kingdom?"
"There is a saying you should remember. People would rather be a noble in an ancient kingdom than the king of a high-ranking kingdom."
"Understand?!"
Rafos frowned. He felt that Sharole was insulting him. Indeed, he did not know much about the power structure of the outside world, however, that did not affect him.
Rafos thought that as long as someone possessed greater power, that person would win.
All tactics were meaningless in the face of absolute power.
Yes, Rafos\'s ideas were the exact opposite of Sharole\'s. But Rafos didn\'t want Sharole to feel uncomfortable with him either.
Anyway, the one who had the power to control the royal army right now was Sharole.
The royal army could control the lower level troops. Therefore, it was not wrong to say that Sharole was the one in possession of military power.
Besides, with the feats that Sharole just mentioned, he could help Rafos a lot. Besides, the royal army had always followed orders from Sharole, not Rafos.
Even if Rafos held the jewel that represented the king\'s power, it was unlikely that everyone would obey his orders.
The most important thing was that Rafos knew how to assassinate and carry out missions, and he had never commanded the army. That\'s why, even though he wanted to command the royal army, he didn\'t have enough confidence.
This opportunity only came once. Ratyous had given him a chance, and he needed to seize it this time.
If he failed, everything would turn to ashes. He would revert back to being a normal assassin and being controlled by Ratylous.
Or… he would die.
Rafos felt that in the upcoming battle, victory or defeat would depend on Sharole.
Rafos could only nod now, he had no other choice.
"I understand."
"Good! You can stay here if you want. There are still rooms available downstairs, you can choose any room you like."
Rafos nodded and said, "I want to see the other armies, okay?"
Sharole shrugged, "Of course."
…
At another army barracks, this place, although not as lavish and beautiful as the palace of the royal army, was not too low.
It was a large area, like a residential area, and inside the residential area there were quite a few families living there. This area was surrounded by a wall that was over 7 meters high, with a single gate to get in and out.
Rafos asked: "Is that…"
"It is the living area of the main army. This army can only live inside this area, not outside."
"They can only go out when there is war or when the King needs them."
Rafos heard Sharole\'s explanation and frowned. He asked: "So... how do they practice?"
"Practice? What do you mean?"
"I mean… how will they train to work together?"
Sharole laughed when he heard that. He laughed as he said: "Training to work together? Hahahaha… Rafos, I find you interesting."
"What am I saying ? Ah! You\'re like a dwarf who just emerged after 1,000 years of mining."
"Training to work together? It sounds weak and ridiculous. Only weaklings need to learn to work together, you understand."
"As long as they are strong enough, when they go to the battlefield, they will have confidence, and they can easily destroy the enemy. No matter how well you coordinate, when faced with a stronger enemy, that coordination is easily broken."
Rafos also had nothing to refute because Sharole was right. It seemed that a person with as much experience fighting on the battlefield as Sharole allowed Rafos to trust his judgment.
At this point, Rafos was completely reassured. However, he continued to ask: "So… when going to the battlefield, which army will open the way?"
"Very good question… follow me."
After saying that, Sharole led Rafos to an area more than 10 kilometres away from the Shareny Kingdom. This place was surrounded by a wall more than 2 metres thick and more than 10 metres high.
Rafos saw a lot of sealing magic on the wall, and he even saw a lot of high-level sealing magic.
In the sky was a giant seal consisting of five layers on top of each other.
Rafos wondered whether it was him, no, he felt that even if the Void Lord came here, he wouldn\'t be able to break these sealing spells.
"This place is…" Rafos asked confusedly.
At this point, Sharole did not answer him, but led him to a secret door. To open this door, Sharole needed to go through many steps.
After more than 20 minutes, Sharole breathed a sigh of relief. He turned to Rafos with his eyes full of annoyance and fatigue: "Because you are the person the king trusts, I put a lot of effort into showing you the team. this army."
"If it were someone else, I would never waste my time doing useless things like this."
Rafos immediately understood what Sharole wanted, he folded his hands and said: "Thank you, this is a Tier SSR magic card, I hope you can accept it."
Sharole saw the yellow card in Rafos\'s hand and immediately put it in his pocket as if he was afraid that Rafos would claim it back.
At this point, Sharole\'s face became much happier, he smiled and said: "Hahahaha… it\'s okay. You are the king\'s confidant, the secret son he trusts most. Later, when you become the king of this Kingdom, I will only need to serve you."
Rafos saw Sharole\'s expression change 180 degrees, and secretly scolded Sharole for being greedy. And of course, he also quietly raised his vigilance towards Sharole.
A greedy person like this could be easily bribed by the enemy. Since he was currently holding the army of the Shareny Kingdom, his power seemed to be second only to Ratylous, and above all others in the Kingdom.
Whether it was the nobles in Shareny or those with high positions in the royal family, when meeting him, they had to bow their heads. Except for those of royal lineage like Ratylous\'s children or wives, since there was no need to do so.
Of course, he was actually an excellent military operator, he was just greedy. But with the wealth that an ancient kingdom possessed, his greedy nature was easily satisfied.
Rafos followed Sharole to a small room, which was located within the city wall. In front of Rafos was a screen showing the situation behind this wall.
The scene before Rafos was terrifying, a bunch of monsters were living inside this area. However, with no one to take care of these monsters, they were allowed to act without restriction.
The only thing is that they can\'t break the seal to go outside.
"This is…" Rafos was about to ask something.
However, Sharole now interrupted his words: "Shh! Keep looking!"
Rafos listened to Sharole\'s words, and stared at the phantom screen in front of him.
He saw that this place was extremely large, inside there were countless monsters with strange shapes. Those monsters, when they met, immediately rushed to destroy and eat the opponent.
The inside was extremely chaotic, like a giant meat grinder.
"Are those monsters crazy?" Rafos frowned and asked.
Sharole explained with a smile: "Hahahaha… this place is where the mist monsters are kept. They were starved to stimulate their survival instincts and bloodlust."
"For what?" Rafos asked again.
"Very good question. Look, can you tell what\'s different about those mist monsters?"
Rafos looked closely and discovered that the area inside was not foggy, the surrounding area was illuminated by the Misty Lamp.
That means… These monsters can fight even where there is a Misty Lamp.
Sharole proudly said: "Got it, right? That\'s right, these monsters are almost immune to Mist Lamp. Combined with their bloodthirsty nature, they are excellent pavers in a battle."
"Aggressive, painless, only fighting, tremendous strength… those are things that no other army possesses."
Rafos took a deep breath when he heard this and asked, "Who did this?"
"Hahahaha…" Sharole smiled confidently and said, "It was me… I was the one who came up with this idea and implemented it. And of course, I succeeded."
Rafos now felt a chill run down his spine, making him shiver.
What the hell is this? He thought
Mist Monsters that are Not Afraid of the Misty Lamp…
Mist monsters are used as troops to pave the way…
Too awful.
At this point, Rafos not only felt that Sharole was a smart guy, but he was also an extremely dangerous person.
Rafos couldn\'t touch this person, otherwise the one in danger would be him, not Sharole.
"Hahahaha… another army is the mixed blood army."
"You also use mixed-blood people?" Rafos was very surprised.
"Of course. Why not?!"
Sharole continued to take Rafos to another place, this place was in the opposite direction of the area where the fog monsters were trapped.
This place was also about 10 kilometers from the Shareny Kingdom, but this place was extremely shabby and poor. The houses were built in a makeshift way and there were a lot of mixed blood people living here.
Sharole and Rafos flew in the air, and used magic to conceal their existence.
Sharole pointed to the area of the mixed-bloods and said: "Mix-blooded people are extremely numerous and reproduce very quickly."
"Even though they don\'t use magic as well as the purebloods, the number of them is enough to make up for the quality."
"When there is war, we just come to this place, and give them some food and some resources, and I can recruit more than 10,000 troops."
"We use these pieces and those monsters as pavers. After that, the royal army commands the normal army to use magic to attack."
"Boom!"
"It\'s all settled."
