Chapter 670: Nethergrass City (1/2)
After Lilith spoke her mind openly and truthfully, Uncle Jorn understood that he had been giving the Little Princess too much credit simply because she was the Little Princess.
He had forgotten that it was not long ago that she was still the little girl who ran away from home to escape an arranged marriage.
The amount of pressure and resolve needed for the little princess to assume leadership and lead the clan was something no one can understand clearer than herself.
”Your Highness, feel free to rely on others if the burden is too great,” Uncle Jorn said before mentioning, ”I understand that being a leader is not easy. There are a lot of things to consider, and each decision carries consequences and responsibilities that you would have to bear.”
”Even the Clan Leader, your father, had sleepless nights on separate occasions due to clan matters. But I will say to you the same thing I have said to the Clan Leader in the past; don't overwork yourself.”
”Body Cultivators may have great endurance and tolerance to stress, but the body will still collapse without adequate rest from time to time. Nothing is more important than your health, Your Highness,” Uncle Jorn stated.
”Un, I understand. Thank you, Uncle Jorn,” Lilith nodded with appreciation and said, ”I will keep your words in mind. But right now, we have people that need saving. So let us go over the plan again.”
”Yes, Your Highness,” Uncle Jorn nodded.
In front of them, a map was laid out on the table with clear indications of the Desolate Crow Clan's location in the center and several neighboring tribes and clans beyond its borders, including the Desolate Netherbird Tribe.
”According to what Uncle Jorn previously mentioned, the Desolate Netherbird Second Prince is residing in Nethergrass City, located right here on the border.”
Lilith shortly pointed at a single point where the borders of the Desolate Crow Clan and Desolate Netherbird Tribe are connected.
”That's right,” Uncle Jorn nodded and said, ”Lord Balzacs would regularly send a messenger back to the Desolate Netherbird Second Prince in Nethergrass City to keep him updated on the Desolate Crow Clan's matters. That time is not far from now.”
”So, our plan would be to infiltrate the city as messengers accompanied by our warriors openly under the disguise that we have submitted and was sent over to aid the Desolate Netherbird Second Prince's cause,” Lilith stated.
”That's right. You remembered it well, Your Highness. That is indeed the first step of the plan,” Uncle Jorn nodded before he said solemnly, ”However, we need to remember that we are going to save the Clan Leader and elders, not to wage war.”
”After we cause chaos in the city as a distraction and get our people, we will escape immediately and not entangle ourselves with the Desolate Netherbird Second Prince's forces.”
”I can understand that much, Uncle Jorn.” Lilith nodded seriously.
If the Desolate Netherbird Second Prince was harmed by them, there was a possibility of the Desolate Netherbird Tribe's Paragon making a move against them.
Sometime later, a clansman arrived before them and reported, ”Your Highness, the preparations are complete. Our warriors are ready to sortie.”
”Good!” Lilith nodded and ordered, ”Inform the clansmen that we will set out immediately.”
”Yes, Your Highness!”
”Wait a minute, Your Highness,” Uncle Jorn suddenly stopped Lilith before asking with surprise, ”You're not planning to come with us, right?”
”Of course, I am. Why else am I here?” Lilith responded with knitted brows.
