Words like "ungrateful descendant," "incompetent rat," and "selling off ancestral property" came out without repeating.
The main theme was "dutiful son and loyal descendant."
Indeed.
The Eternal Blade organization was originally created by that branch of the Hidden Forest.
The original founder was a demigod from the Hidden Forest.
Even if the Eternal Blade organization later degraded, leading directly to the decline of the Elf Realm, as a top-notch advanced profession, the Eternal Blade shouldn't have fallen so.
Anyone with a bit of sense knows that it's the elves' mindset that has issues, not the advanced profession.
It's not like the Witch Demon transformation with its massive side effects.
But the result was that the Eternal Blade, after the collapse of the Elf Realm, bore infamy for over a thousand years.
Since then, the Hidden Forest continued to maintain the legacy and collided directly with the Combat Mages of Tunisia at their peak.
After a brutal grind of blood and flesh, the Hidden Forest nearly crumbled.
To return to their peak, they sold off everything they could.
The Eternal Blade ended up in the Supreme Forest, becoming a part of its collection.
Thereafter, the Supreme Forest faced off against the then vigorous Emperor Lao Deng in the Enoak Desert.
They lost spectacularly.
In the end, the card-loving Emperor Lao Deng added the Eternal Blade's legacy to the war reparations.
One could say that the history of the Eternal Blade's changes is the blood and tears of the elves over the years.
"In this case, as long as there are no irreparable conflicts within the Tunisian Republic, we can rest assured."
By estimating the time, Tunisia is about to enter a snowballing phase.
Without interference from the Hidden Forest, Tunisia's snowballing speed will only increase.
Though from Tunisia's perspective, the Hidden Forest is the greatest enemy.
From Louis's perspective, the most dangerous threat is the Giant Demon Tribe.
After all, there's a major original sin there.
Presently, Tunisia's mortal enemies are fervently feeding the Giant Demon Tribe, which is essentially a proxy war of another world.
But now, these countries playing chess behind the scenes will soon feel the headache.
The main army, the Hidden Forest, needs to head to the rear to clean up the mess at Manchester Camp.
If it's not properly cleaned, all that awaits them is a fire in the rear.
Wait a moment...
Louis paused for a moment, a peculiar look flashing in his eyes.
In the future diary, this event didn't occur.
If it had happened earlier, it wouldn't have delayed his industrial chain division plan.
The honeymoon period between the two countries would also be significantly advanced.
He rearranged his thoughts.
According to the original development trend, Tunisia should first accept cooperation with Ense.
Then, with the help of the Ense Empire, they resolve their internal conflicts and start accelerating their snowball.
Next comes the defeat on the western battlefield, with the Hidden Forest's intervention, leading to intensified internal conflicts in Tunisia, delaying his industrial chain division plan.
Then came the already snowballing Tunisia encountering the then spirited genius General Joseph Williams.
Meeting the right person at the right time.
Plus his own behind-the-scenes pushing.
Ultimately causing the Giant Demon Tribe, which still had developmental opportunities, to be rolled over to death by Tunisia's snowball.
None of this involved Manchester Camp.
So if the opponent of the Hidden Forest always intended to disgust those long-ears,
Then in the original timeline, they should have also supported Manchester Camp a bit.
Disgusting the Hidden Forest has nothing to do with whether or not you snowball in Tunisia.
This is the sort of Star Continent style these relatively opposing nations should exhibit.
But the result is, in every timeline Louis obtained from the future diary, there is no record of Manchester Camp being supported.
If initially the original writer didn't record it, that would be one thing.
After all, he genuinely started writing it as a diary.
But Louis would never do that.
If there's no record, that means it didn't happen.
The last diary update was when he snuck into the swan princess's bedroom in the middle of the night to obtain her treasure (referring to the Jade Phoenix Mage).
So the key point causing this new variable is after that.
Louis initially thought the key point was with the swan princess.
After all, Olivia's appearance with the Acid Arrow indeed changed the battlefield situation.
But he quickly dismissed this possibility.
The time Olivia handed over the Acid Arrow to Tunisia should have been when she registered at the White Tower for this exchange conference.
That time was still before the diary update.
This means the variable generated by the swan princess's spell model submission had long been incorporated into the diary's update content.
—This means that in the originally intended future, a Magic Brigade equipped with Olivia's Acid Arrow already existed.
The reason they didn't emerge immediately was likely that they had been hiding, not yet used.
So the real variable is...
"I see, is it related to the Jade Phoenix Alliance?"
Louis had a quick mind and quickly locked onto another huge variable.
"After the diary update, I found the swan princess and joined the Jade Phoenix Alliance."
"Compared to the latest version of the future diary, the biggest variable is actually myself."
"Disguising as Mayer, I gained a new identity, representing the Jade Phoenix Alliance to recover the soon-to-fall compatriots' bodies, as the Jade Phoenix Mage."
"So why would this variable of recovering the Jade Phoenix Mage heritage affect Manchester Camp?"
At this moment, he only felt a current climbing up his spine, electrifying him to numbness.
First off, one thing was certain.
The action of the Jade Phoenix Mage is quite secretive.
If news leaked, causing a huge impact, only two possibilities exist.
One is through the internal channels of the Jade Phoenix Alliance, with other Jade Phoenix Mages leaking the information.
—The possibility is not zero, but considering the deterrence of the Grand Speaker of the Wise Council, he doubted internal Jade Phoenix Mages would have the audacity.
More accurately, supporting the armaments at Manchester Camp is basically impossible for any individual.
Once the Hidden Forest investigates afterward, the truth will inevitably come to light one day.
When facing them, there is no talk of evidence, just a confirmation of the list.
Not to mention the energy required to mobilize such a large amount of resources.
Though there's a slim chance it really was done by an individual.
For instance, a certain Jade Phoenix Mage has a close relationship with their country's highest level, able to mobilize the power of a great nation to some extent.
—Isn't this exactly like the swan princess and myself?
But in reality, even the swan princess wouldn't think of directly crossing to support Manchester Camp behind the Hidden Forest.
It would be a massive waste of manpower and resources, potentially inviting trouble as well.
To Ense, it could be said there's no benefit, only harm.
So… now, among the great nations, who has clashed with the Hidden Forest, fears no reprisal, and could gain the most from this backstabbing incident by the Hidden Forest?
The answer is clear.
It is the Tunisian Republic.
There are three reasons:
1. Tunisia's methods for countering the Giant Demons' remarkable resilience stem from a Mage Brigade long versed in Olivia's Acid Arrow.
This brigade had been hiding its strength, clearly preparing to strike the Giants when it mattered most.
2. The greatest beneficiary of the Hidden Forest catching fire from behind is Tunisia.
This means the obstacle to Tunisia's snowballing is temporarily lifted.
Given a bit more time, they could truly reach great heights.
3. Currently, the major powers aware of the Jade Phoenix Mage's precise actions in Tunisia are likely only Ense and Tunisia, with Ense already ruled out.
But along with this, he also pondered over another more serious issue.
If this line of thought is accurate, the real shift should be...
Due to his arrival, a segment of Tunisia's internal force was freed up.
This segment of force was thrown into the war, directly causing a major reversal in the battlefield situation.
Tunisia wasn't short of talent.
They naturally spotted the snowballing opportunity immediately.
Thus, they deployed their Magic Brigade and newly mobilized forces, while simultaneously laying out plans regarding the Hidden Forest.
As long as they have the Hidden Forest entangled for a while, not long, two months to half a year, Tunisia's war machine will rev up.
Louis rubbed his chin, murmuring softly:
"This is troublesome."
The swan princess looked at him curiously and asked:
"What's the matter?"
Louis could barely hold his composure:
"I suddenly realized that I might have a tough battle ahead, and I'm not exactly eager to fight it."
