Chapter 345: Chapter 298: Truth Remnants Appear (Request for monthly ticket)

"Private soldiers?"

Lette widened his eyes upon hearing the Elf Queen’s report: "I didn’t expect Prince Michael to have such a card up his sleeve.

Based on yesterday’s interrogation results, even his son didn’t know about this.

This old fox, he’s even hiding it from his own son.

If anyone claims he has no ulterior motives, that’s a hard pill to swallow."

"Currently, the number of these private soldiers isn’t too large, but each one is an elite. They are well-equipped, resolute, have formidable strength, and can be called Death Soldiers, with strong single combat abilities.

Apparently, Prince Michael has also hired a large number of mercenary corps to enter the jungle for his son’s rescue.

If this group enters the forest, they will be difficult to deal with."

The Elf Queen handed the intelligence to Lette: "This is the news sent back by the frontline mercenary corps leader."

"Death Soldiers, we must eliminate them. These guys are incorrigible elements who can’t be united. Keeping them would only add to the burden.

As for the mercenaries, let the frontline mercenary corps convey the message of the Elf Empire through the Mercenary Association.

The Elf Empire intends only to reclaim the ancestral land forcibly occupied by the First Empire, and has no intention of waging war against the Human Clan.

If they don’t interfere in this matter, they will earn the friendship of the Elf Clan.

If they choose to accept this mission, then they are the enemies of the Elf Clan. On the battlefield, swords have no eyes—life and death are at one’s own risk."

The Elf Queen also agreed with Lette’s decision. As a leader of the Elf Clan, she didn’t want to spoil relations with the entire Human Clan.

She was well aware that even discounting the Holy Light Goddess and the Divine Court, just with this man still around, the elves couldn’t possibly defeat humans and regain their domination.

Peaceful coexistence is the best vision.

"Then... what should we do with those Death Soldiers?"

Lette smiled slightly: "Don’t we have a treasure captive? Bring him up; I have a way to make his old man, who’s desperate to save his son, obedient."

"Alright! You all, bring that man up!"

Lette turned to the side: "Lilith, call over that Enchanting Demon from last time."

Not knowing what Lette planned, Lilith nonetheless drew an array with a hand, reached into it, and pulled out an utterly terrified upper level Enchanting Demon.

"M-master! I-I-I..."

The Enchanting Demon was pale as a ghost, trembling too much to form a coherent sentence.

"What are you afraid of?"

Lette frowned: "All you need to do in a while is control the target’s mind and make him do as I say."

"Yes!"

Soon, Bander, who had been detained for a day, was brought up. Before he had a chance to curse, his mind was controlled by the high level Enchanting Demon.

Lette took a notebook and pen from the Elf Princess’s hand, jotting down something rapidly.

"Have this guy use the magic tool to contact his father."

The Enchanting Demon nodded repeatedly, swiftly controlling him to activate his Magic Device. After some buzzing and sizzling sounds, a middle-aged man’s voice came through.

"Bander, is that you?"

Seeing this, Lette flipped open the first page of a small book, on which was written [Let him converse normally]

The Enchanting Demon understood tacitly, manipulating Bander.

"It’s me, Father!"

"What’s your situation now? Are you alright? Where are you all located?"

As if anticipating this, Lette opened the second page, instructing the Enchanting Demon to make Bander recite what was written.

"Father, our team got scattered. Those damned pointed ears set a trap in the jungle, just waiting for us.

Fortunately, my personal guards fought bravely, ensuring my escape."

"Since you managed to escape, why haven’t you returned?"

Lette opened the third page, and the Enchanting Demon continued to comply.

"Father, I’ve found fortune in misfortune, and am about to locate the enemy’s base. If I can wipe it out, we’ll not only defeat the elf army but also rescue other captives!

This is a golden opportunity!

But, I currently lack the forces and hope you can send more troops."

On the other side, Michael was furious: "What nonsense! Return immediately! That’s an order!"

"Father, this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance!"

"Shut up! Follow orders!"

"But we’re already deep in the woods, and even if we head back, we might encounter more elves or fall into traps.

Instead, why not send reinforcements and let me destroy their base outright?

If I head back now, the journey could be even more dangerous."

The Magic Device fell silent, eventually showing signs of compromise.

"Alright, I’ll dispatch a team into the forest to rendezvous with you. Where are you now?"

Lette’s finger slid across the map, finally stopping at a place called Maple Valley. The Enchanting Demon quickly imposed suggestions, and Bander spoke to the Magic Device.

"My subordinates and I are hiding within Maple Valley."

"Good, stay there and don’t move. Wait for the rescue team to arrive!"

With a click, the Magic Device went inactive.

Everyone looked at one another, and Emily couldn’t help but mumble.

"Was that all it took? Doesn’t the general fear deceit? Doesn’t he suspect the speaker isn’t his son?"

Unexpectedly, the half-dazed Bander spoke: "This Magic Device can only be used by me; it’s soul-bound."

Emily was startled: "Why mention this now? How come you didn’t ask yesterday? If this was..."

Halfway through, Emily saw Lette looking at her, speechless.
