Chapitre 175: Seeds of Distrust

"Hm, I figured this would happen." Exile laughed as Clay reported on what had happened. "Don't worry about it. The Ruling Faction will join the attack, but Aeri will attempt to betray us. However, she won't find many allies willing to do the same."

"Why? It makes sense for them to attack us, doesn't it?" Clay revealed a puzzled expression for a moment, but Exile just shook his head slowly.

"Yes and no. They will be tired after the fight with Sommerdan, and we gained favour with some of the leaders when we rushed to aid in the fight with the wolves." Exile smiled as a glint appeared in his eyes. "So they feel indebted for our previous aid, which prevented them from dying and their own people being weakened further."

"I see... Do you think they'll hold themselves to that debt though? They have a lot to gain from joining Aeri."
