“What? Is Kaeger scared?” asked Marcus as he frowned.
Although he did not hide the suspicion in his heart, he still showed a smug look.
It seemed that as long as it was bad news for the Feathered Monsters, it was something worth being happy about for Marcus.
Vincent grasped the other party’s mentality and took advantage of the situation. He said, “The Feathered Monster Race’s casualties are also much heavier. Moreover, after fighting with you, Kaeger is no longer confident that he could defeat you. If the battle continues and the Feathered Monster Race loses, they will be chased out of the capital of Ultimate Evil by the evil lord. Then all his years of hard work in the capital of Ultimate Evil will be in vain. He might even be deposed as the leader. Don’t you think he would want to stop the war?”
Marcus immediately revealed a happy expression and said viciously, “As expected, Kaeger can’t hold on any longer. Then I can’t let him off easily! Now is the best time to exterminate all the Feathered Monsters in one go!”
Vincent saw that Marcus was still so stubborn. He hurriedly shook his head and said, “Don’t forget, I was sent by the Ultimate Evil Lord. When I go back, I still have to report back to him. If you don’t want to call a truce, then the evil lord will send someone else to take over your business. At that time, your Bards will be the first to be driven out of the capital of Ultimate Evil. At that time, won’t it still be Kaeger who will profit?”
Marcus said with a displeased expression, “I can’t look past this! In the chaotic battles these past few days, he and his race have taken the initiative in every aspect, causing our Bards to suffer heavy losses. The low-level members have almost all been wiped out. If we let it go like this, I will also be dismissed by everyone in the race!”
Vincent shook his head and said, “Since you know that you have suffered heavy losses, you should sum up to them the experience of failure! Even though Kaeger is currently fearful of you, the Feathered Monsters still have the upper hand based on the previous number of casualties. Why don’t you take this opportunity to stop temporarily and make up for your own disadvantage, and then wait for an opportunity to take revenge on the Feathered Monster Race!”
After hearing this, Marcus became even more furious. He snorted coldly and said, “How can my Bard Race be at a disadvantage when compared to the Feathered Monster Race? You don’t know the specific situation. There is a traitor within my Bard Race. I once had a subordinate who saw a Bard killing another Bard, but I have yet to find any clues about that traitor. Only by continuing the war with the Feathered Monster Race can I lure that spy out and clean up the situation of the race!”
Vincent laughed secretly in his heart. It seemed that Marcus was frightened by the effect of the Bard necklace. Presumably, the Bards were already on tenterhooks. If they did not continue to fight and divert everyone’s attention, perhaps the Bards would soon fall apart because of the issue of the spy.
After considering the predicament that Marcus was currently facing, Vincent took the initiative to say, “If you want to find the spy, I have another way. Not only can you not offend the Ultimate Evil Lord, but you can also take the opportunity to take revenge on Kaeger!”
After hearing this, Marcus immediately asked curiously, “Oh, what is it? Quickly tell me!”
Vincent smiled slightly and said, “The war between the Bard Race and the Feathered Monster Race this time is all because you two interfered in each other’s businesses. Therefore, the Ultimate Evil Lord has agreed that as long as we mediate this war, he will hand over a small portion of your businesses for me to manage. This way, we can not only pin down the Feathered Monster Race and the Bard Race but also prevent you two from fighting with each other. After I get the business of the Feathered Monster Race, I can take the opportunity to find out their business channels. Then, you can strike from the dark. Wouldn’t it be easier to destroy the business of the Feathered Monster Race and achieve your goal of revenge? Moreover, when the time comes, I can easily find the spy within the race with two pieces of false news.”
“How could I have paid such a painful price?”
Marcus heard it and immediately slammed the table and exclaimed, “Good idea! Why didn’t I think of it! Thanks to Brother Asura, it reminded me of my dream. If the Feathered Monster Race’s business falls into your hands, I can start causing problems for them from the side. He, Kaeger, will suspect but will not be able to find any concrete evidence. By then, I’ll be able to destroy the Feathered Monster Race without bloodshed and drive them out of the capital of Ultimate Evil!”
Vincent nodded and said, “Exactly. You were deep in hatred before and didn’t see it clearly for a moment! Now, I have already told you the best way. You can decide what to do!”
Marcus said without hesitation, “Then what else do you want? Just do it according to your arrangement! Since the evil lord wants to stop the war, then I will stop the war!”
When Vincent saw that his plan had been achieved, his smile became even wider. He said, “However, the truce is still the truce. You cannot be careless. If Kaeger doesn’t have any morals, he might take the opportunity to take revenge on you. Moreover, if the Feathered Monster’s business is damaged and Kaeger attacks you recklessly, you must be prepared to protect yourself.
After hearing Vincent’s exhortation, Marcus could not help but sneer. He said, “Even if you did not remind me, I will not let Kaeger off so easily. I agreed to a truce to give you face, brother, and to also give face to the Ultimate Evil Lord. At the same time, I need a period of time for the Bard Race to recuperate. When I recover, I will definitely give the Feathered Monsters a heavy blow!”
Vincent nodded slightly. As long as the hatred between the Bard Race and Feathered Monster Race was still there, there was still value in using them. Thus, he said, “If you want to take revenge, I can help you in secret. After I understand the Feathered Monster Race’s business thoroughly, you can strike them with a thunderbolt. At that time, you can take over his business. Even the evil lord will not say anything then!”
Marcus nodded and said, “Okay, let’s do it this way! My Bards will wait for your good news, brother!”
Vincent smiled and then said goodbye to Marcus. He left the Bards’ stronghold and went to the Arena of Life and Death to report the good news to the evil lord. Then, he would wait for him to divide the Feathered Monster and Bard’s businesses to him. After that, he could take the opportunity to find an excuse to leave the capital.
However, when Vincent arrived at the top floor of the arena, he discovered that the evil lord was currently receiving guests.
The Ultimate Evil Lord put down his wine glass when he saw Vincent and asked with a smile, “The Fire Asura is back. How are things going?”
Vincent replied succinctly, “Both the Bards and Feathered Monsters have agreed to a truce!”
At the same time, his gaze swept across the two guests in front of the Ultimate Evil Lord. One was the leader of the Vampire Race who had once bought two Dragon Race materials from Vincent. The other was someone Vincent had never seen before. However, through a simple visual evaluation, he could tell that the other party’s appearance was not much different from that of a human. It was just that his skin was more translucent, and there was a faint twinkle of starlight in his flesh and blood. His entire body was emitting a terrifying aura.
This allowed Vincent to conclude that his strength was far more powerful than that of Kaeger and Marcus!
