Don't call me evil god

Chapter 621: Pete's Three Strategies
"Are we going to go against the nobles of the capital?!"

After listening to Pete's explanation, Lancelot's voice became a little distorted with nervousness.

Pete immediately corrected the other party's statement:
"Who told you we were going to go against them?"

"What are you thinking? Even the nine clans of Stone Castle were not dealt with by us. Instead, they went crazy and were dealt with by the dwarves of their own clan."

"This is Starosh, the capital of the Reyak Kingdom! Just relying on the few of us? Even if I give you 100 lives, it won't be enough for you to die!"

"If you want to die, I won't stop you."

"Didn't I say before that there is good news?"

"His Majesty the King is on our side and he will support us."

Lancelot was puzzled: "So?"

"So... the ones who really bear most of the pressure are His Majesty Kenreddin and the royal family."

"Oh!" Lancelot understood a little: "It was His Majesty's suggestion to form an action corps. We just accepted his commission. Is that what you mean?"

Pete nodded: "You are right."

"As long as we accept His Majesty's commission, we can start an investigation in the capital under the pretext of recruiting members for the action corps."

"I think this is a conventional approach that is neither good nor bad."

"Ah ha?" Lancelot finally came to his senses and looked confused again: "Do you have any other ideas?"

Pete raised the middle finger, ring finger and little finger of his right hand.

“I came up with three ideas.”

"The worst solution is for us to ignore everything and simply not get involved in the infighting in the capital. We should publicly declare that we are not strong enough and are not suitable for this responsibility. Then we can leave Starosh and return to our own territory."

"But...are you happy to do this?"

The first person to speak out against it was Brandon.

"No, no, there's no such thing as a hero deserting a battlefield or running away in disgrace. Anyway, I don't want to!"

His reasons were very simple and direct.

Is there hidden evil in the king?

Wouldn't that be better!

There will be another colorful chapter in the life experience of the legendary adventurer Brandon Robert!

Brandon is the kind of person who will forget whatever you say about nobility, upper class, elegance, etc., and the knowledge will slip directly through his smooth cerebral cortex.

But what if it has something to do with cultists and monsters?

Then he will be excited!
The more evil the opponent, the more motivated Brandon becomes.

Hearing this, Dolan also touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "Well... I'm just suggesting it. I also think it's a bit inappropriate to just leave."

"It would be fine if we didn't know. But now that we know there are believers of the evil god in the capital, but we don't dare to find and destroy them, the Lord will be disappointed in us..."

"Praise Nowen, He certainly doesn't want to see us running away like this."

Reina didn't say anything, because she would agree to whatever Pete planned to do, and she would always stand firmly on the same side as Pete.

"You all know the solution that is neither good nor bad. That is to accept His Majesty's commission. That way, you will have a suitable identity and reason to conduct an investigation."

Pete put down his middle finger and ring finger, leaving only his little finger standing up.

"There is another way, which I think may be the best idea."

"Keep the shaky surface neutral!"

"Just as His Majesty promised us to cooperate, continue to maintain that hesitant look!"

"What does hesitation mean?"

Pete paused.

No one responded.

Brandon and Lancelot both stared with clear eyes;
Dolan was trying hard to keep up with Pete's pace, frowning and thinking hard;
Reina, on the other hand, didn't even think about it;
“…” Pete scratched his head helplessly.

There are three sources of wisdom in the team. When encountering problems, Gail and Miranda can also provide a lot of ideas and solutions.

As a result, they were in a world of two.

The rest of Pete's people are either brainless, or their brains are not that good, or they don't want to use their brains.

As a result, no one can respond to what he is saying now.

He had no choice but to express his thoughts:
"His Majesty knows that our hesitation is a show, and he will cooperate accordingly, pretending to convince us."

"But those new nobles who have hidden agendas don't know the inside story. They just think that our attitude gives them an opportunity to manipulate us!"

"I don't believe that under such circumstances, they can resist the temptation and not try to deal with us!"

"Huh!" Brandon perked up: "Are they going to assassinate us?"

Reina's eyes also changed slightly, revealing a bit of coldness.

When a stalker targets a human companion, the threat is far greater than when it targets a monster.

The corner of Pete's mouth twitched: "How could it be an assassination? Do you think they are fools?"

"Don't forget who I, Miranda, and Lancelot are?"

"We are now heroes of the kingdom acknowledged by the king himself. Apart from the cultists, who would dare to take the risk to assassinate us?"

"Wouldn't that be like telling everyone openly that there are cultists hiding within the kingdom?"

"Then it will become even more necessary to form an action corps!"

"The struggle in the capital is not about fighting and killing openly."

"The use of force is only one means of resolving the problem. They will not resort to this method unless it is absolutely necessary. That would be courting their own destruction."

"I prefer another possibility."

"When they see that our attitude is wavering, they will most likely try to... bribe, win over, and assimilate us!"

"If they do that, we won't even need to think of any extra methods. We can just get inside them!"

Lancelot suddenly realized.

"Oh! No wonder they were so eager to invite me to their banquets and social dances during the luncheon!"

"So that's what's going on?!"

Pete nodded.

"of course."

Lancelot clenched his teeth and said, "You nobles are the ones who are so good at playing tricks. I didn't think so much at that time!"

"As expected, the nobles have many schemes, and even more of them are bad."

After saying this without thinking, Lancelot suddenly realized and quickly changed his words:

"Oh! Mr. Chinal, you are not a cunning nobleman, uh, no, I mean you are cunning, uh, anyway, you are a good nobleman, not a bad one!"

"…Neither is Mr. Franklin!"

"But I think the method you proposed is really good. We can give it a try!"

Pete looked helpless.

It would be better not to change it.

"Everyone, although this method seems to be the easiest and most effective idea, it is also the most difficult to implement."

"Remember, don't easily believe their solicitation and flattery, and don't make promises casually."

"We may face a lot of sugar-coated bullets next, but we must not get hit by them!"
