"New intelligence has also arrived. The force that negotiated with the Naga group is a group called the Amethyst Islands. Their leader is called Krober Amethyst Rose, a low-ranking dragon knight."
Orchi threw the information face up on the table, making it easier for everyone to scan it with their mental power.
"The spies currently lurking in the Naga territory have already fully ascertained the strength of the human side."
"The Amethyst Islands are the only overseas territory of the Golden Duchy, a vassal state of the Emerald Kingdom. Its lord is not only a low-ranking dragon knight, but also the fiancé of the Golden Duchess Veronica."
"And Veronica is the only remaining direct blood relative of the Emerald King, Alvis Emerald Light. Therefore, we must never harm that guy named Krober."
Everyone nodded, they had a deep understanding of human solidarity and protecting one's shortcomings.
Especially Kugel, this guy was abused by humans a long time ago, so he couldn't help but feel fear after hearing about fighting with humans.
"So the four of us should focus on besieging the Naga tribe. As for the human trade routes, I suggest we send a sea dragon to attack. That way, even if we fail, we can put the blame on the wild dragon head."
When Olchi's method was mentioned, Kuyala and Kugel nodded in agreement, but Sk had a different opinion.
"Master Orchi, I think your method seems to have room for improvement."
After this was said, before Olchi could say anything, Kugel was the first to be unhappy.
"What nonsense are you talking about? What could be wrong with the idea my second brother came up with? Are you, a newly promoted guy, already showing off your intelligence?"
As if feeling unsatisfied, Kugel brandished his large pliers, intending to give the cowardly guy a good beating.
"Hey! Kugel!"
Olchi stopped Kugel's action, and the tentacles on his head moved upwards, signaling Sk to speak his mind.
"I believe that, given the Naga's understanding of us, they must be fully aware of the dragons we raise. If there are magicians in the human caravan, there's no guarantee how they'll transmit this information back."
What Sk said does make sense.
As a race with simple minds and strong limbs, the Kuer people have no understanding of magical things like magic.
They only know that magic can create many things with magical functions and can control various elements in the world.
What's more, human magicians have always focused on alchemy, and have countless magic props with various functions.
Like the merchant ship they robbed before, there was a magic prop in the captain's room that could illuminate at night. It was said to be made of something called night fluorite.
However, the Kuer people have always lived on the seabed and have dark vision, so they have no use for this thing, so they can only throw it into the warehouse to collect dust.
"That makes sense. Human magicians are particularly strange. We simply cannot imagine anything they cannot do, so Sk's suggestion makes sense."
"Then what should we do? We can't just ignore this trade route, right? Wouldn't that just mean we're just watching humans give blood to the Naga?"
When Kugel heard this, he immediately became stubborn and angry.
"That's right. We can't just sit back and watch the humans give blood to the Naga. Otherwise, the war between our two tribes will continue, and both sides will suffer in the end."
Kuyala also agreed with his third brother's words. Although his IQ was not high, he still had basic war acumen. On paper, the Naga tribe, which had gathered all the high-end combat forces in the central part of the Blue Sea, was not much different in strength from the Kul tribe.
"This is probably part of the human conspiracy. He wants to deplete the sea tribe's overall strength and wait until we've suffered almost all the losses before sending out the dragon knight squad to wipe us out."
Olchi thought about it for a while, and then he guessed Krober's "conspiracy".
"The Sea Snakes and Seahorses each sent out a dragon knight. Do they really think my Kul tribe doesn't dare to destroy them?!"
As expected, Kugel did not disappoint everyone and wanted to exterminate the clan at every turn.
Olchi was too lazy to pay attention to his brother who had transformed his brain into muscle. He fixed his eyes on Sk and said:
"Sike, just tell us what you think. As long as it makes sense, we will support you."
Sk nodded and told him the solution he had thought of.
"When I was fusing my magic with the Sand Dragon, I learned from its memories that there's a wild dragon living in the southeastern part of the Azure Sea, also a type of Sand Dragon. We might as well let it plunder the trade routes."
Upon hearing this, the other three looked at each other.
In the end, it was Olchi who stood up as the most intelligent of the three brothers and said:
"But wild dragons are always very proud. They might not agree if we just go there."
Skew smiled confidently.
"Leave it to me. Lord Hamasaryu and I are confident that we can convince that wild dragon, but we may have to take some of the tribe's resources."
"Well, this is a small matter. As long as you can convince that wild dragon, I can even empty the clan's treasure house."
Orchi waved his hand and directly agreed to Sk's request. After all, as long as the human side's affairs were resolved, they could take action against the Naga with peace of mind.
By then, the mermaid royal family will live in seclusion in the deep sea, and the entire shallow sea will be controlled by the Kul tribe.
Therefore, he did not feel sorry at all for spending these resources, as long as it could bring victory to the war.
"Don't worry, I will definitely drive that wild dragon to attack the trade route at the lowest cost."
Sk raised the pliers in his right hand high, which represented "oath" in the Kuer people's body movement, implying that he took the matter very seriously and solemnly.
"Okay, then let's prepare immediately and declare war on the Naga tribe directly."
The Kuer people are a nomadic people, and the tribe itself is a barracks. Naturally, he does not need to recruit soldiers everywhere like the Naga. He can just move directly towards the Naga territory.
If it weren't for the purpose of shutting up the mermaid royal family and preventing Lord Ocean Dragon from dying in order to protect the Naga tribe, they would have probably launched a "blitz attack on the Naga" long ago.
At this moment, Olchi's heart was calm.
The chief Kuyala was in charge of mobilizing the troops, Kugel was the vanguard, and Sk went to look for the wild dragon.
As for myself, I can only stay in the central government and do intelligence work and other miscellaneous tasks.
