It was late at night and dinner had already been finished. I walked out of my father's Study and walked to my room.

On the way, I passed a Hall. The lights inside were still bright, and there were real conversations and laughter. It was Mei Er, my mother, and Sun Er.

The Snake-People thing I was talking about with my dad just now made me feel bad, so I didn't go in. I just listened outside for a while. Seeing that their conversation was quite harmonious, I went back to the room directly.

"Medusa, regarding what my father just said, a strong Snake-People man appeared in the Chuyun Empire territory, what do you think?"

I sat down casually and asked impatiently. Although I got a lot of benefits from reselling Azure Lotus Core Flame and had a Dou Emperor guard, I still couldn't transcend Gamma Empire.

Gamma Empire--still my basic disk!

And if Snake-People Tribe really succeeds in forming an alliance with the Chuyun Empire, Gamma Empire is really in danger of destruction, which is definitely not a good thing for me.

Medusa must have heard the outside world and must have been thinking about this question, so she answered very quickly at this time.

"Great One, now Snake-People Tribe Queen is Yue Mei. She is cautious and resourceful, and can often see things that others cannot see. When I was still Snake-People Queen, I would often call her to discuss things."

A charming voice came from her mind, and she said slowly, "Maybe Yue Mei really wants to form an alliance with the Chuyun Empire."

"She has said before that Human Race is full of unity and serious internal strife, and it may be possible to form an alliance with it - but I have never adopted it before."

I groped my chin, not even interested in these Snake-People Tribe past events, but asked directly:

"Medusa, if you return to Tagor Desert now, can you still... control Snake-People Tribe?"

The voice in my mind did not panic at all, nor did it hesitate or fluctuate at all. It continued as before:

"Great One, according to the rules of the Snake-People Tribe, Yue Mei has succeeded and is the only queen of the Snake-People Tribe. All my former subjects will surrender to her and no longer obey my will."

I rubbed the handrail and remained silent. Of course I didn't believe Medusa's nonsense. She had ruled Snake-People Tribe for hundreds of years, and Yue Mei only took the throne for ten days, so Medusa could completely lose control of the Snake-People Tribe.

There are only a few confidants, not a few cronies

But I didn't say these words, so what's the use of saying them?

She also expected that a simple imprint from me on her Soul Origin would make her completely submit to me and even be willing to betray her racial interests to me.

Just daydreaming!

If you push too hard, you can only force her to fight me desperately...

I pondered for a long time. Medusa has a very strong temper. It seems that he should be lured, not coerced.

inducement

Snake-People Tribe plans to attack Gamma Empire. In addition to wanting to avenge Medusa... they also want to seize a fertile land from the Gamma Empire because Tagor Desert is barren.

But there is fertile land - not only Gamma Empire has it!

My eyes lit up and I took out a hide map from Ring of Holding. The scale of the map was very large and included several forces near the Gamma Empire.

It extends to the Snake-People Tribe in the north, Mulan Empire in the west, Black-Corner Region in the south, and Chuyun Empire in the east. All parties are on the map.

I moved my finger back and forth on the Chuyun Empire, and it was on the Chuyun Empire Northern Region, which was also bordered by Tagor Desert.

An excellent method slowly emerged in my mind.

"Medusa, Chuyun Empire is ambitious, Snake-People Tribe forming an alliance with them is like seeking the skin of a tiger, it is too dangerous."

"Why not form an alliance with me, Gamma Empire. Your clan will attack from the north, and our country will attack from the east. If we attack from both sides, we will definitely destroy Chuyun Empire in one fell swoop!"

"When the time comes..."

My finger crossed an east-west river in the Chuyun Empire. This is the longest river in the Chuyun Empire. It also divides Chuyun Empire into north and south. Its name is:

Red River.

"Your clan governs Red River North Bank, and our country governs Red River South Bank - ruling across the river, isn't it beautiful?"

After I finished speaking, the corners of my mouth curled up slightly, feeling slightly proud of the Redirecting the Disaster method I had come up with.

Attacking Gamma Empire or attacking Chuyun Empire makes no difference to the Snake-People Tribe. It will not harm the interests of the Snake-People Tribe, but will actually benefit.

However, for the Jia Ma Empire and Cloudrise Empire, this is a major matter of national importance!

Medusa's voice fell silent, probably because she was thinking about it. After a moment, she said respectfully, "Great One, your will is the direction I will move forward!"

"I am willing to persuade Yue Mei for your will. I believe that when she feels your glory, she will act according to your will."

After some pious praise, her voice became lower again and she said, "It's just, Great One, how should your will be carried out in the Gamma Empire..."

Medusa's consent was within my expectation. As long as it does not affect Snake-People Tribe's interests, there is no reason why she would refuse.

And her questions were equally to the point.

With her here, Snake-People Tribe won't be a problem. But Gamma Empire--I'm just Heir Apparent of the Nalan Family in Three Great Families. There are too many old guys on it. How can I get them to agree to my idea?

It is impossible for me to reveal the existence of Medusa. In the eyes of outsiders, I just proposed an alliance with the Snake-People Tribe just a few days after killing Snake-People Queen...

This certainly seems ridiculous!

How could they agree to let me try it?

I couldn't help but frown. This feeling of knowing that there is an excellent way to face a crisis, but being unable to execute it. The first thing I consider is not how to execute the plan, but how to get others to recognize it - it's really not good!

But there is nothing I can do. Without the support of those old guys, my plan cannot be implemented at all.

I lowered my head and stared at the map spread out on the table, and began to think carefully in my mind. The best way to get those old guys to agree is to improve the details of this plan and make it more feasible...

The night outside the window was getting darker and darker, and the Zhu Huo in the room was swaying. I stood in front of the table, constantly drawing on the map with my hands, and discussing various details with Medusa.

We had a pleasant discussion. As Snake-People Queen, Medusa has a very good view of the overall situation and is constantly fighting for the interests of the Snake-People Tribe.

I simply don't care much about the Gamma Empire's interests, so it doesn't hurt to let some of it go.

Well, just think of it as a long-term investment. Giving away some of the benefits may make Snake-People Tribe have a good impression of me. When my cultivation level improves in the future, I can directly take over the entire Snake-People Tribe!

After discussing it until late at night, I fell asleep. When I woke up the next day, it was another sunny morning. Everything was so beautiful, like a brand new beginning.

If you ignore the anxious look on Xiao Yu's face, there is also the bad news she brings.

"Little Yezi, Xiao Yan He... seems to have run away."
