168 [3-25] Freedom of interpretation causes kings to w... (2/2)

I'm not sure what to do. But if we continue to fight the Caenis Empire, we'll never get anywhere.

”......, Master Preceptor!

Calm down. I'm not suggesting that you lick the nectar from the same flower as him.

I'm not sure if it's because I'm not a fan of his or not.

If you have to fight either of them at some point, it is better to gain the upper hand when they are exhausted by fighting each other. To do that, we can at least pretend to join forces for a while.

Jivarmaguza chewed on a green weed.

Krsna, however, did not shake her head.

”Please forgive my rudeness, Elders. But it is also my duty to make sure your message is accurate.

Making enemies fight each other for profit: ......

It's a simple scheme that even I could come up with. If it had been useful, I would have been ordained to do so. And yet, the order was only to 'avenge his men'.

I can't help but think that there is something significant about this. ”Isn't there a poisonous snake lurking on the path to join hands with the one who is the Rose Princess of Hell?

A clear gaze that never wavered in the slightest pierced through Jivarmaguza.

Zibarmaguza couldn't help but feel a sense of dread. That doubt was also present in Jibal Maguza.

But there was no hope for him if he did not stop the empire first. ......

As the tribe's political leader and experienced warrior, Jivarmaguza could not help but feel this way, and that is why he had no time for the oracle.

Or would a miraculous dispensation make everything all right if he decided to fight the Rose Princess of Hell here and now?

Would the situation be resolved in a chain of events, like a pile of stones that all fall apart when you hit the bottom?

Cruz Salina seemed to believe so, but ...... the next wrong move could destroy the tribe. That's why Jivarmaguza couldn't make a rash decision.

Anyway, I think we should tell everyone what the oracle said first.

When Lord Saaresahya heard the same oracle, he was put off because he was still unsure of what it meant. ......

”Wait, no!

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

”...... Now is not the time. The village will lose its harmony.

”Why?

The rumor of an alliance with the Rose Princess of Hell has somehow spread throughout the village. Unfortunately, there are many who hope for this.

And if you throw the story of the Oracle into the mix, ...... the village will be confused and torn apart.

”But what does it matter? When the elders make a decision, everyone follows.

Normally, yes. But now it's too dangerous.

The concern that Jivarmaguza had and that the elders shared was something that was difficult to explain in words.

They had led the tribe for many years, and they could feel it. It's something that can only be described as an expert's intuition derived from accumulated experience.

But it was clear that the tribe was on the verge of exploding. He didn't want to give away any information that might provoke it.

This concern did not go over well with Krsna.

It seems to me that there is nothing to be lost.

We have a mandate from our fathers, and if the elders decide to follow it, all we have to do is to do our best.

The most important thing now is to remain steadfast. Then we will all be united.

Listening to Krsna's words was a kind of emotional experience for Jibal Magus. The words were as dazzling as the sun shining through the trees in a straight line.

She believed that if she did the right thing, all would be well. It's a beautiful vision of the future. You want to surrender to it.

But it's not that simple, Zivarmaguza thought.

--It's still too straightforward.

That's why the elders chose Saaresaiah as their chief priest and not Krsna.

It was because Krsna was too straightforward in temperament.

She could not swallow political considerations, pleasantries, and the like.

In a sense, this was the nature of a priestess. It was typical of priestesses who spend their days in quiet prayer and practice, cut off from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

However, the tribe's religious leader, the chief priest, was a highly political figure, and in order to lead the tribe in an orderly manner, honesty alone would not suffice.

Please guide us. I'll do my best as the chief priest.

”Mm. ......

Jibarmaguza replied vaguely.

Where do you want me to lead them? He still had no answer.
