Chapter 79: The Name of Intervention

  At the beginning, Mo Yan yearned for war because he saw many benefits brought by it. However, after the civil war in Elan began, the disadvantages of war also emerged. After the war started, due to conscription in places like Kabinda, the number of factory workers decreased significantly, and production was affected to some extent.

  And because the war caused grain prices to rise in Eran, Mo Yan's profits from selling weapons were returned to the hands of the people of Sart. So after considering it, Mo Yan decided to end this inexplicable internal strife as soon as possible. The main problem facing Eran now is Azera, who was crowned in the Council City.

  As long as he can be defeated, everything will return to normal. However, if Azela is to be defeated, the Council City under his control must be attacked. But now that the training is almost complete, the 15,000 Salte warriors are not vegetarians.

  Moreover, the defenses of the City of Parliament were extremely complete, not only was the city built strong and tall, but there were also many defensive facilities such as giant crossbows, flame trenches, deep pits and traps. Even a powerful creature like a giant dragon would not dare to provoke the City of Parliament, and at that time it had only 5,000 troops guarding it.

  Currently, the other cities of Eran have been divided into three forces. Arica and Ankud have a grudge against each other due to the assassination incident. If these issues cannot be resolved, it is impossible to form an alliance that can fight together. Mo Yan, even if he were arrogant, would not rely solely on his 5,000-strong demon army to challenge the 15,000-strong Sartrean garrison at the Council City, let alone that he is not an arrogant person.

  In fact, the conflict between Alica and Ankude is easy to resolve. When the Shadow Planner assassinated Alica's representative, the Party Guard had already collected some evidence. It was just that at the time, Moyan wanted Elan to erupt in war, so they didn't bring it out. Now as long as they bring out this evidence and tell both cities that everything is a plot by the Malo people.

  So the conflict between Arika and Ankude no longer exists, and at that time, the Eran Union Council can be reconvened to re-discuss the issue of forming an alliance. Although the last council was dismissed due to various reasons, Mo Yan will guarantee that the next council will not repeat the same mistakes, because Mo Yan will represent Leiting Cliff in the council.

  "But you are not a Sartrean." In the conference hall, Regal frowned and said, "This is an internal problem of the Sartreans. As a city ruled by a demon lord, Thunderhorn has no stance to participate in this matter. And the Council City will seize on this point, at that time Thunderhorn will be in a very embarrassing position."

  "Eran's internal strife has severely impacted the business and life of Thunder Bluff." Emily, who was present, countered: "Thunder Bluff already has a considerable number of Salties residing there. Although Thunder Bluff has provided grain subsidies, the current price of grain is still too expensive, affecting the lives of its residents. Thunder Bluff has every reason to intervene."

  Emily was eager to end the internal strife between Arica and Ankud, which had been going on for some time. In her view, Ankud was not the kind of person who would resort to assassination due to differences in political views. Moreover, the killer had not been found yet, indicating that someone was manipulating from behind the scenes.

  "If it's just being affected, that can only be an excuse for protest, but not a reason for intervention." Refora heard Emily's words and said: "After all, the lord of Thunder Cliff is not a Sault person, nor is he human. This is a fact. As a demon, intervening in the internal affairs of Eran will be accused of having ulterior motives."

  "Then wouldn't giving him a suitable identity solve the problem?" Lirius said with a smile: "Find a woman from Sart in the city and have her marry the master, then the master would also have a legitimate reason to attend the council, right? Although it's unlikely that there is a woman willing to marry a demon, it can still be done with some means, isn't that what the Party Guard is for?"

  "Indeed." Regal nodded and said, "We can make a family in the city go bankrupt through some operations, disguise ourselves as usurers to make them owe a huge debt, and then force them to mortgage their daughter. We can come out flawless, no one will find any flaws."

  "If it's for Eran, then it's not unacceptable." Although Regal's words made Refor frown, he who had seen many dark things could also understand and said: "However, the best way is to secretly find some volunteers first, after all, such a thing is not popular."

  "What are you talking about?" Emily, who had been listening to the conversation of the three with some annoyance, said: "Artificially breaking up a happy family and forcing their daughter to marry a monster? How can anyone do such a thing! Even if an identity is needed, it can be resolved in other ways."

  "Although I agree with you, don't say that marrying me is a very cruel thing." Mo Yan slightly reminded the discussants who were still present: "Regarding such hurtful things to women, it does not conform to my ideals. Moreover, regarding the matter of reputation, I also think we can adopt a more gentle approach to solve it."

  "A more gentle way?" Vivian tilted her head, thinking for a moment before spreading out her hands and laughing: "It seems there isn't one. What other faster ways are there to join a nation besides intermarriage?"

  "That can't come at the cost of destroying someone else's family." Emily insisted, "If we do something like that, what's the difference between us and Azrael who betrayed everyone? To me, if you can't protect one family, how can you protect all of Elyria?"

  "Emily, although you're very clever." Reforla looked at Emily who was already somewhat indignant and shook his head with a bitter smile: "But you're still a bit too young. Politics is often like this, sacrificing individual interests for the sake of protecting the entire Thunder Cliff's interests isn't anything special."

  Every city has had such a thing happen, and after the internal strife in Erland is over, we can still make amends. Marriage is just a superficial effort and won't really do anything. I believe this is something that the lord of the castle should be able to guarantee, he wouldn't have any interest in ordinary humans, would he?

  "If the girl is not willing, I won't force anything to happen." Mo Yan nodded and said: "If it's really like what Leifeng said, it doesn't seem like a big deal. And even if we do what Leigang said, Thunder Cliff will compensate the family and the girl will return anyway. Besides, all of this is based on the premise that there are no volunteers, right? Maybe they'll find someone willing."

  "Then let me do this volunteer." Emily looked at Mo Yan, who was also gradually persuaded, and stood up with a serious face after thinking for a moment: "Rather than letting others bear such things, it's better for me, the insider, to take on this cost. I am also Sartre's woman, aren't I?"

  "Ah, the brave one who's willing to sacrifice herself has appeared." Lirien looked at Emiri with a smile and said: "It's just like those heroes who give up their lives for the sake of others, throwing themselves into the arms of monsters for the happiness of the masses. Even I, this evil demon, am moved to tears." Lirien wiped away non-existent tears from her eyes, gazing at Emiri with a look of reverence.

  "It's just a fake show." Refora didn't oppose Emily's words, but comforted her by saying: "Once the internal strife is over, there will be no need to pretend to be married anymore."

  "So, since it's already been discussed. Mo Yan looked at the situation and concluded: "So, the bride is set to be Emily. If you change your mind, you can explain it to Regal and let him arrange the next steps. As for the reason for intervening in the name of the nobles, this wedding must be done so that the entire Eran knows about it, otherwise there's no point."

  When it comes to getting married, Mo Yan can be said to be familiar with it, in order to perform some special tasks. Mo Yan often marries some female colleagues and then disguises himself as a newlywed couple to infiltrate the target's side, or to carry out assassination tasks or steal necessary intelligence.

  "I will send out invitations to all the cities of Eran." Lirien nodded and said, "Within three days, I will notify all the cities and let them know that a wedding is about to take place in Thunder Cliff, and the bride is a Sartian. But if so, within ten or more days, all the guests will come here, and preparations may be very tense."

  "It's quite simple, really," said Rofela. "A Sartrean wedding doesn't have any complicated parts to it. All you need to do is show your strength and prove that you can take care of a wife, and then prepare enough food for the day of the wedding, and there aren't any special requirements."

  "Then just let Jones show up at that time." Mo Yan nodded and said: "And I will arrange for some Sart people to help with the wedding preparations, you all do your own work. So this meeting is over, dismissed."
