Lawrence nodded.
Roughly summarized, it indeed boils down to those two points.
The first point is equivalent to replacing your second brother, and the second point is akin to suppressing your eldest brother.
Kana tapped on the table.
"So, let's first discuss the first point, which is how to help you gain public support.
Your advantage in this area lies in the Holy Light Church and the Night Watchers."
Kana pointed at Alicia and then at himself.
"When it comes to the actual counterattack, I believe the Holy Light Church will have the power to engage in direct combat."
Alicia nodded.
After all, the Blood Race is now essentially defined as an evil race with the intent to overthrow.
"And in this war, the Night Watchers will also join the battle,"
Kana said.
Although the Blood Race is not a cult, the number of cultists among them is too great.
Moreover, the most crucial reason is the immense hatred between the Night Watchers and the Blood Race.
No need to say much about the Counts, whether it's the refugees from the Safro Kingdom or the Cohen Kingdom.
The reason they became refugees is because of the Blood Race.
The Dwarves, their first primary target of hatred is Demons and cultists.
The second target of hatred inevitably falls on the Blood Race, who are now eyeing the Gray Mountain Range eagerly.
Half-Elves and Elves.
This needs no further discussion; the reason they ended up in their previous state is because the Blood Race fleet attacked them at sea.
Seeing the confused looks of the two.
They couldn't help but glance at George and the others behind Kana.
They wanted to say that the number of Night Watchers doesn't seem to be that many.
Whether the Night Watchers Alicia saw more than half a year ago or the ones they see now, the numbers are not large.
Not enough to be called an army.
"This is just a very small part; if willing, the Night Watchers can now help you reclaim the lands lost by the Cohen Kingdom."
With these words.
Alicia and Lawrence looked at Kana.
Their eyes filled with distrust.
In their ears, this sounded like boasting.
Kana's face broke into a smile.
"I know you surely don't believe it, how about this."
With that, Kana sat down and beckoned with a finger.
Bobo jumped onto Kana's shoulder and took out a map from the backpack behind him.
Kana took it and spread it on the table.
The two took a glance at this map.
It couldn't be more familiar.
The central area is the land of the Cohen Kingdom, already mostly fallen.
Kana pointed to a slightly more upward part of this land, where it was the exit to the Eastern Wilderness.
Other places could also be exits, but the exit here is the best, with the smoothest connecting road.
Kana's finger conjured a bit of magic power, drawing a line.
It slid straight from their exit in the Eastern Wilderness, cutting through the fallen land.
"Here is the route from which we pass through the Eastern Wilderness to arrive here.
The line I drew will become the new frontline."
These words dropped.
The two suddenly looked up at Kana.
This line, when drawn, covers a bit more than 1/3 of the fallen land.
Ignoring the emotions in their eyes.
Kana continued.
"This land will be taken with the help of us Night Watchers.
Your purpose in coming here, besides settling Rubek, is also preparing to host and gather troops from other forces here.
This place will become the frontline headquarters, and the assembled army will launch a counterattack from here."
Lawrence looked at Kana.
This purpose he wasn't entirely sure of; it was just his guess.
Yet Kana stated it as if it were certain.
"Not certain, but perhaps that's the case."
"Though there is Snake River, there are too many refugees gathered here, posing a great problem, isn't it?
Taking this land will suffice to temporarily settle these refugees and begin to restore production.
And all these achievements will be credited to you."
Kana's words were extremely tempting, echoing in Lawrence's ears.
Kana then continued: "No need for you to act, only the Night Watchers are required.
You just need to say the Night Watchers are allies you've invited as support from the Holy Light Church.
The Holy Light Church and the Night Watchers will be your supporters, and the accomplishments made will naturally fall on you in the struggle for the throne.
Thus you will gain immense prestige at once, securing support far beyond that of the Eldest Prince and the Second Prince."
Alicia listened quietly beside them.
Since when did the Night Watchers become allies of the Holy Light Church?
Of course, in the Cohen Kingdom, this was the situation.
"This is against the rules," Alicia said.
It is equivalent to acting privately, especially in such a military action.
Kana looked at Alicia with a strange gaze.
"You represent the Holy Light Church, why must you obey the council's orders?
Does the Holy Light Church not have the right to attack, unable to tolerate the cruel actions of the Blood Race?"
Alicia opened her mouth and had to nod: "Of course, it does."
Kana looked again at Lawrence.
"You are the Third Prince, watching your people suffer such hardships, seeing the land of your former country become overrun by the Blood Race.
How can you endure it? Naturally, you would act, and whether you face reproach depends only on the success of your actions."
