What should you do when you encounter someone who doesn't play by the rules?

Red Dragon Wales is numb!

He felt he had made a mistake!

But this shouldn't be happening!

Based on the intelligence gathered from her various informants, this Lady Audora acts with considerable method and strategy.

After initially arriving on the Staphis Continent, they remained completely silent for more than three months, thus lulling all forces into a false sense of security and lowering their guard.

Secretly, they gather intelligence, identify vulnerabilities, and find key evidence.

Later, he used the evidence to win over Sickle, a highly respected but frustrated exorcist in the military, to his side, kill Myleson, and take control of the armed forces.

In addition, judging from the style of its layout, there is a high probability that it also has some off-the-ground tactics.

Even without it, they are still in an invincible position.

This is why, after careful consideration, Red Dragon Wales chose to abandon the Bazel Brothers and turn to the light.

I thought that at this crucial moment, correcting the wrongs would at least prevent me from being completely punished, if not forgiven. Who would have thought that this official in front of me is not a fool!

"My life is over..." Red Dragon Wales sighed sadly, he had no intention of resisting.

Just kidding, this warship is the flagship of the armed forces, armed to the teeth. The shield generator alone is a product from the Central Cosmic Domain, worth millions of Star Wheel. The Void Energy shield it generates is enough to withstand the attacks of several Peak Demigod without leaving a trace.

Star Sea Bank may not have much else, but it has plenty of money and is willing to equip the troops with good weapons.

Under such circumstances, he had no chance of resisting. Moreover, the sense of danger emanating from the girl in front of him far exceeded that of any non- God Level life form he had ever encountered before. Her gaze, as sharp as a blade hanging over his neck, was terrifying to the extreme, a pure and utter killing intent!

Filled with many questions, Crimson Dragon Wales slumped to the ground, resigned to his fate.

Despair spread like a dark tide, endless and relentless.

But just then, a clear voice pierced through the gloom like the first rays of dawn, allowing him to see the light again. Red Dragon Wales inexplicably felt a sense of redemption.

He looked up and saw that the Three-Eyed Race youth with Blood Pupil seemed to be shrouded in Holy Light, appearing exceptionally kind and approachable.

"My lord, although Wales has business dealings with the Bazel Brothers, he willingly severed ties with these traitors for you, which shows his loyalty. I believe he has been deceived. At this critical moment, when we need capable men, why not let him redeem himself on the battlefield?"

Logo's words were like a godsend for Red Dragon Wales. Seeing the changing expression on Audora's face, Wales immediately realized that he was saved.

Heaven took pity on him, Wales scrambled to Audora's side, swearing to the heavens that he would fight to the death to repay her for sparing his life.

After a long silence, the atmosphere heavy and oppressive like dark clouds looming over a city, Audora finally nodded, saying in a lighthearted, back-to-her-nature tone, "Alright, Logo is right, I'll spare you for now!"

Upon hearing this, Red Dragon Wales burst into tears. Good heavens, this rollercoaster of emotions was too thrilling! Please don't do this to me, the old dragon, next time! It's terrifying!

After expressing his deepest gratitude, Red Dragon Wales stood up.

The shadow of death has departed, and reason has returned.

As he pondered the tone of Audora's words, Red Dragon Wales gradually came to his senses.

Our intelligence seems to have a fatal flaw!

That is, it seems that the previous series of plans were not personally orchestrated by Lady Audora.

The Three-Eyed Race, Blood Pupil youth next to her seems to be the mastermind.

As for Lady Audora, well... she has a straightforward personality!

Thinking of this, the Crimson Dragon looked at Logo.

Just then, Logo also turned around and looked at him.

Their eyes met.

One's eyes held a smile, full of profound meaning.

One expressed deep gratitude and gestured with his eyes, "I will remember this life-saving act."

Logo turned his head, his expression becoming as still as a deep pool.

Why did he save Red Dragon Wales?

In addition to further strengthening their own forces and increasing their chances of winning.

Another important reason is to win over the fence-sitters!

Within a large power, the fence-sitters, or Neutral Faction, often wield considerable influence.

They're the type to side with whoever wins!

Can you say they're wrong?

It's just that everyone has their own way of dealing with the world.

From the perspective of the fence-sitters, lacking the courage to strive for advancement, they honestly do their work, wait for the eldest and second eldest brothers to determine the winner before joining them, ensuring a sure profit.

If we eliminate Red Dragon Wales, a representative figure of the fence-sitters, what will the other fence-sitters think?

With everyone feeling insecure, the situation could easily spiral out of control.

So, regardless of whether or not you want to kill him afterwards.

At this critical moment, we must seize the opportunity.

This is politics, the art of compromise.

Even if your opponent kills your loved ones, you should still cooperate. On this stage, reason always prevails over emotion!

Besides, Logo also had a personal reason for letting Red Dragon Wales go.

It was his pleading that got Audora released to Wales.

In other words, Logo saved the red dragon's life, and did so in full view of everyone.

Regardless of what Wales thought, he had to acknowledge this favor, or he'd be out of a job!

In this way, Logo will have a powerful new network of connections on the Staphis Continent, and he may even be able to bring the Crimson Dragon Wales under his control in the future.

On the recliner, the old devil witnessed everything. A smile flashed in his deep eyes before disappearing.

The armed forces split into two groups.

Led by Audora, they headed west to the base of Platinum Glory.

The other group, led by Sickle, headed towards Graystone Castle.

The large-scale troop movements could not be kept secret from those who were interested.

Although they lacked the intelligence of Red Dragon Wales, the Bazel Brothers and the thirteenth prince quickly noticed the anomaly and realized the danger they were in.

They immediately rushed to Platinum Glory and Graystone Castle to organize the evacuation.

According to the timeline, there should be plenty of time.

After all, it takes time for the troops to arrive.

This interval is more than enough for both organizations to set off!

But at that very moment, another of Logo's arrangements took effect.

He sent his potion clone to the Lancer Organization an hour early.

Because we had given prior notice.

Without much hesitation, Chongyue Knight Coles shouldered his weapon, gathered his men, and led a large group of knights to the vicinity of Platinum Glory without making a sound.

By the time the thirteenth prince prepared to escape, it was too late.

The knights, eager for a fight, grinned and surrounded them, resulting in a stalemate.

On the other side, Graystone Castle was also being held back by hostile forces.

An hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Precious evacuation time has been wasted!

By the time the massive Star Sea Armed Forces arrived, the die was cast.

Holding her battle scythe, Audora unleashed her true nature. Under the gloomy gaze of the thirteenth prince, she issued the order to encircle and annihilate the enemy, and charged forward herself, her scythe flashing as she slaughtered indiscriminately.

A massive melee erupted just like that!
