“What do you think, Boss Mag?”
In the secret chamber of the city lord’s castle, Michael and Rolan looked at Mag.
Mag stared at the map in front of him, absorbed in his thoughts. He came to the city lord’s castle to have a discussion after completing the breakfast service. They were going to discuss Helena bringing her troops southward to annihilate the Night Elves.
“This is a war without any doubt. The Wind Forest has the absolute advantage with their number of troops and powerhouses. They could crush the Night Elves easily. Regardless how complex the underground cavern is, it is not going to withstand the magic attack by thousands of magic casters at the same time.” Mag retrieved his gaze from the map and looked at Michael and Rolan. “However, if the Night Elves were annihilated, the Wind Forest’s internal conflicts would be reduced by half, and they would most likely follow the Roth Empire and vote against the peace treaty’s extension. This isn’t a good news for Chaos City.”
“Irina and the Night Elves have already shown extremely strong resilience by forcing the Wind Forest to send out such a big number of troops.” Michael shook his head. “But, like what you said, this is a war without any doubt. This also implies that if any external force wants to be involved, they would have to go all out. This means this force would have to go into direct conflict with the Wind Forest, even starting a total war. This is an outcome that neither Chaos City nor the goblins want to see.”
Mag was silent. Michael’s words had reason. Even the goblins who placed their troops at the border wouldn’t want to go into battle with the Wind Forest now.
On the Norland Continent now, no forces would extend help to the Night Elves.
“Even if the Night Elves were suppressed, Borg and Helena’s conflict is becoming increasingly acute, and they have the same numbers of followers. There is still no news about the elf queen, so these two are going to fight each other for control over the Wind Forest. It will be easier to stir up disputes between them than to help the Night Elves,” Rolan commented.
“It isn’t a good thing to most of the elves regardless which of these two obtains the control of Wind Forest in the end,” Mag said with furrowed brows.
“This outcome would be considered as a good outcome when compared to a chaotic world,” Rolan said calmly.
Mag didn’t refute Rolan’s point. He had read up on much information about the racial war. That was a disaster that swept across the entire Norland Continent, and nobody wanted it to ever happen again.
“But what if Alex extends his help? Given his previous declaration and his relationship with Irina, he would not look away while the Night Elves face total annihilation,” Mag continued after staying silent for a while.
“For a war, a man’s power ultimately can’t alter the result. Even if he is Alex.” Rolan shook his head. “There are dozens of 10th-tier powerhouses in the elf species, and Borg and Helena are at the pinnacle of the 10th-tier. Moreover, now they are all rushing to the underground cavern. This lineup is even much more powerful than the assassin lineup for that rainy night’s assassination.”
“If Irina wants to leave, nobody is able to stop her, but the Night Elves would most probably not survive.” Michael sighed. “The ideal of the Night Elves is similar to our Chaos City. If they are given enough time, maybe they could be the next Chaos City.”
“Therefore, Chaos City is not going to do anything?” Michael asked Rolan and Michael.
“Regarding this matter, Chaos City cannot do anything.” Rolan nodded.
“I know those two young ladies are with the Night Elves, but I am afraid we can’t do anything regarding this matter,” Michael said with some resignation.
Mag’s vision and outlook made Rolan and him very impressed. His talents at manufacturing were even more astonishing. However, in this world, a lot of compromises had to be made.
“I understand.” Mag nodded, without much reproach.
Being the people in charge of Chaos City, Michael and Rolan had to be responsible for the residents of Chaos City.
“If the Night Elves could survive this combined attack, we would provide them with some help within a certain limit,” Michael added.
Mag came out of the city lord’s castle with a heavy heart.
Since Chaos City had said clearly that it wouldn’t intervene, then the goblins in an alliance with it obviously wouldn’t take the risk to declare war on the elf species because of the Night Elves.
Mag rode his bicycle to Chaos School. He wanted to discuss with Teacher Luna Amy’s wish to perform at the term-end variety show with Anna.
Luna smiled and nodded after she heard about Mag’s intentions. “Of course. Anna is coming to school next year too. It is a good thing to let her experience the school’s atmosphere in advance.”
“Thank you, Teacher Luna.”
“Don’t mention it, Mr. Mag. I believe the children would like to watch Amy and Anna’s performance too,” Luna said smilingly.
After coming back from the school, Mag sat in front of the map for half an hour. His gaze eventually locked on the Boundless Sea Realm.
SInce there were no forces willing to assist the Night Elves in this world, then a force that didn’t belong on the map, Lantisde, would help them.
Mag’s gaze became determined. Even though he wanted to continue to hide this trump card, if the Night Elves were annihilated and Irina died, everything would be meaningless.
During lunchtime, Mag put down his chopsticks after he finished his lunch quietly with the rest. He stood up and gestured to Miya, who was going to clear the table, to take a seat first. He said to all of them, “I have to discuss a matter with all of you.”
“What is it, Boss? Is the hot pot restaurant going to open today?” Miya asked curiously. She didn’t hear any renovation noises coming from next door, so the hot pot shouldn’t be released so soon, right?
The rest also looked at Mag. They stopped smiling when they saw his serious expression.
“Shirley and Firis have gone to the underground cavern at the border of Wind Forest and the goblins to join the Night Elves. You all know about it,” Mag said softly.
Anna jerked her head up to look at Mag.
“Yes. They have been gone for so many days already. I wonder how they are doing over there? The underground cavern most probably isn’t very comfortable, right?” Babla nodded. She had a very good relationship with Firis.
“There still should be fighting between the Night Elves and the elf species? Or, they should still be surrounded?” Elizabeth said with furrowed brows. Although she didn’t have much contact with the outside world, she’d still heard some bad news.
Gina listened to their conversation with wide eyes. She could understand about half of what they were saying now.
“I heard the news when I went out today. The Night Elves are still surrounded by enemies who are many times their size, and a massive army is moving toward them, preparing to exterminate the Night Elves once and for all. They don’t have any reinforcements or ample powerhouses.” Mag looked at all of them with a determined gaze, and said, “Maybe it’s time for Mamy Restaurant to do something now.”
