So, should we get involved or not?

Although it's not yet 100% certain that this game exists, Yun Zhe has already considered the worst-case scenario.

Yun Zhe was just about to send everyone away so he could think things through alone when the door creaked open and Jelock walked in, clutching a letter.

"My lord, the Earl's letter is said to be urgent, and he wants you to reply before dawn tomorrow."

All eyes were on the letter, and everyone speculated about its possible contents. Even if the contents of the letter were uncertain, the request itself suggested that something significant might have happened to the Earl.

Morrison went a step further. Considering today's topic and recent events, he quickly came up with a possibility: the other party had already approached Serena to pressure her into persuading Yun Zhe to change his mind.

Yun Zhe tore open the letter, and the more he read, the more interesting his expression became, which aroused everyone's curiosity exponentially.

Yun Zhe put down the letter. “Gentlemen, the elves once invaded us, but they also formed an alliance with us. Do you think we should break the alliance and turn against them?” As he spoke, Yun Zhe handed the letter to Gao beside him.

After Gao finished reading, he casually handed it to Gidding beside him. "My lord, no one should know about our alliance with the elves. Even if it were leaked, they could only get the information from the elves. Clearly, the person who offered this advice knows quite a bit."

Yun Zhe looked at the others, and after everyone had finished reading the letter, Yun Zhe asked the same question again.

"My lord, I object. The elves are our support, and the foundation upon which we can achieve anything. I object," Gao stated his opinion clearly. Actually, this wasn't entirely his opinion, but he felt it best aligned with Yun Zhe's thoughts, so he voiced it.

"Why would this person bring this up at this time?" Morrison asked with a puzzled look after reading the letter. He still felt that Yun Zhe's words today were correct, that these wars were related, so he instinctively put this matter into this logic, trying to find the unique significance of this letter at this moment.

Gidding didn't dare say anything, but he knew that human beings were as prone to betrayal as eating and drinking; whether they betrayed someone or not was not surprising. He just inexplicably felt that Yun Zhe should oppose this action. He wanted to know Yun Zhe's thoughts more at this moment.

“My lord, I also think it’s inappropriate. If we start another war with the elves now, we’ll be attacked from both sides. How can we withstand such a turmoil?” Blaze shrugged. “The person who came up with this idea seems to know a lot, but this statement doesn’t seem to fit with what he knows at all.”

Yun Zhe glanced at Jelock, who was startled and shook his head, "Sir, I disagree too, this is not a good thing..."

Yun Zhe stared at the letter in front of him, resting his head on his hands. He finally realized that his idea was not just wishful thinking. At this moment, Yun Zhe was no longer thinking about the problem of his idea, but rather whether or not to tell the people in front of him about it.

Once you've told them, is there any way out?

Yun Zhe thought for a moment. If they turned against him now and really colluded with those people, the mastermind would succeed, and he would most likely be one of the first cannon fodder in the attack. Even if he survived by chance, he would definitely lose control of this land.

But if he tries to persuade Serena to refuse, he will already be caught in the game. The other side is in a very favorable position, and how long can he hold on? How long can these people in front of him hold on?

"Everyone, I have something to say. Please listen to it, then read this letter, and then make a decision." Then Yun Zhe spoke about his grand plan for the Western Continent and his idea of ​​fighting the elves again in the end.

After hearing this, Gidding looked blank, unable to accept the fact for a moment. However, Gao and the other two clearly understood Yun Zhe's thoughts, and they looked at each other with worry in their eyes.

“Sir, if we agree…” Morrison hadn’t finished speaking when the conference room door slammed open. Yun Zhe frowned and looked over. Xi Xi had already appeared at the entrance of the conference room, panting heavily. Behind her was Ellie, who looked helpless and sympathetic.

"Yun Zhe, Duke Field wrote to Serena questioning the alliance with the elves, and Miss has recently encountered many people from the capital who are discussing opening casinos and boxing rings with her. If it were just discussions, that would be fine, but they actually know about the alliance and are trying to persuade Miss to abandon it and cooperate with them in exchange for greater benefits." Xi Xi, whether out of exhaustion or still disliking Yun Zhe, spoke with a cold face and tried to remain calm.

"Lady Serena must have felt that the two things coming together were a bit strange, so she sent you to ask for my opinion, right?"

Xi Xi was taken aback, then nodded slightly with disgust. "What do you think? Write a letter now, and I'll use magic to send it to you, Miss."

"Perfect timing, Miss Xixi, we're discussing this right now, would you like to listen in?"

“I don’t want to hear it, I just want your reply. Serena is very anxious right now. I’ve never seen her like this before. I don’t want to wait too long. Write me back as soon as possible.”

Yun Zhe shook his head with a wry smile, thinking to himself that Xi Xi was still the same as before. However, the expressions of the people around Yun Zhe were not good. Morrison and Blaze's eyes were so cold that they seemed to have been frozen. Gidding also looked at the girl in front of him in confusion, not understanding why she had such a great resentment towards Yun Zhe.

“Miss Xixi, I suggest you sit down and listen.” Gao walked to Xixi’s side and was surprised to see that she was dressed as a cavalryman. “You rode here on horseback?! That must be tiring. I’ll prepare some food for you. You can eat while you listen. Lord Yunzhe just said something very important. I think you should know it.”

Apart from Yun Zhe, Xi Xi was friendly to everyone. She smiled slightly at Gao, which was considered as agreeing to Gao's suggestion.

"Ellie, don't leave either. You need to know about this too." Yun Zhe said, pulling Ellie to the conference table and closing the door behind him.

Yun Zhe blocked the doorway and repeated his point of view. This time, Xi Xi wasn't angry anymore. She stared straight at Yun Zhe, her voice trembling for the first time, and said, "Are you sure about this idea...?"

Yun Zhe didn't answer immediately. Instead, he went through everything in his mind again before nodding. "Moreover, the plague that happened in Donic last year was actually a man-made disaster. Even the elves' attack on us was orchestrated by a mastermind. It was a series of operations, from the plague to the establishment of the Aluru people's kingdom, from the Belvaldo invasion to the formation of the Southern Alliance. Everyone thought it was an isolated incident, everyone thought they had driven the war forward and achieved their own ambitions, but little did they know, they were all calculating, always have been."

Xi Xi sniffed, sat back down, and silently took out paper, pen, and scroll from the cloth bag behind her.

"Yun Zhe, you can tell me. Miss will know soon."
