"Actually, we could trade the undead Lord's location to those first-tier Alliances and let them handle our problem," Ivy finally voiced her idea, shocking everyone. This was completely contrary to their previous decision not to antagonize Alex.
"Why not just seek her help directly? How do you know she's alone without allies? And even if she only has one Monarch level undead, do you think those first-tier Alliances can defeat her?" Samson immediately countered. In his view, those Alliances wouldn't stand a chance against Alex. If they failed, the Elemental Alliance would be implicated, and they'd face Alex's wrath with no chance to escape.
"I..."
Ivy wanted to argue but realized it was futile and fell silent.
"Samson is right. If we ally with other Lords and they lose to the undead Lord, we won't be able to escape," Cain agreed, believing the Lords wouldn't be able to defeat Alex.
