Chapter 621 Phases Of Intervention

Human Court, Raizen.

"Ancestor, phase one is going smoothly so far." A human Emperor Rank, standing near his seat, addressed the ancestor and the court.

Darren nodded lightly in response.

The Emperor Rank then said, "If the plan doesn't fail, we can initiate phase two soon."

Hearing that, everyone turned towards Lucas, Darren included.

Having all the gazes upon him, Lucas got up and said with a calm look to Darren,

"Ancestor, there's no need to worry. We have only just scratched at the surface and there's hardly any risk."

"Surface you say?" Darren asked calmly.

Lucas nodded. "Less risks, less rewards, Ancestor. But no worries, phase two, although riskier, will ensure the human influence reaches deep into the Elven Society."

"By phase three, we can expect ourselves to be assimilated with the elves and by phase four, the Elven nobility and commoners, except of course for the Queen, should become a puppet of the humans."

Nobody was surprised hearing that as they already knew. Lucas was just repeating what they had discussed before.

Graham stood up in response to Lucas's comment and added, "We should begin with phase two two years later, just to be safe."

"Hmm?" Lucas was surprised hearing that and turned to look at Graham.

As per the plans, the second phase would begin after a year, and everything was going good, so why was Graham trying to postpone it, Lucas couldn't understand.

He turned to look at Graham with a questioning gaze and the same was the case with others.

Graham calmly explained, "To keep the risks lower, we should take our time and not rush things. If we are caught by any chance, not only would it shame the entire race, but we'll also need to explain ourselves to others, which by no means would be an easy task."

That was true. The other races would question the humans why they did such a thing and if the reasoning wasn't good, there was a good chance for there being lots and lots of restrictions imposed upon the humans by the other seven races.

This would bring a calamity upon them and they would see no end to their problems; not until this era ended at the very least.

The people in the court nodded their heads and agreed with Graham's reasoning.

But Lucas shook his head and argued, "it wouldn't do."

He turned to face Darren and addressed, "Ancestor, if we delay things, the nobles will lose interest in us and it wouldn't be good. We need the nobles to understand that we have the upper hand in things and can provide them with immense benefits."

"If we decide to lay low, the nobles will question us when we go to them later. Regarding this, I was about to address the court that we should prepone our plans, but Sir Graham beat me to it."

Darren didn't say anything and turned to look at Graham, waiting for him to argue back with Lucas.

As expected, Graham did have things in response.

For the next hour, the Human Court discussed the pros and cons of initiating their plans faster or slower.

Lucas wanted things to be done faster because he wanted to see the humans rise as soon as possible. He wanted them to be at the pinnacle.

He mentioned this reasoning to the others along with proper facts that sounded reasonable and in favour of the humans.

But in reality, his motives were completely different.

Lucas wanted the humans to fasten up the process as, if his predictions were correct, things weren't the same as he had memories of and would change soon.

The unstable situation in the Elven Continent would go on for many decades and it wouldn't be until later down the line would things change.

Of course, in his memories, nothing happened to the elves and the humans hadn't involved themselves as they were afraid. But, despite no external interventions, there was still a civil war within their kingdom with many dying.

It was a clash between the commoners and lesser nobles against the upper nobles which resulted in lots of bloodshed and losses.

In the peaceful era, this was one instance where many had died.

But it wasn't for a long time as the Elf Queen intervened at the end and resurrected many who didn't deserve to die and also ended the civil war.

She didn't punish anyone, neither did she say anything and simply went about her ways of governing them.

This was all over the news and from it, Lucas had a rough idea about the houses that were involved and also suffered the most.

From the way things were going right now, the human intervention had already fastened the civil war.

The things happening now shouldn't be happening for at least the coming ten or twenty years, but due to Lucas's brilliance, things had changed.

Since it had already changed this much, he wanted to fasten it up further and reap as many benefits as possible from it.

If things went right, not only would the humans have the elves as their puppets, Lucas would be even more favoured by the Human Ancestor and Emperor Ranks which would give him a smooth sailing to the higher Magic Ranks.

Not to mention, Lucas also had a deadline of twenty-two months.

The A Class Mission that his system gave him, it was to foil the conspiracy among the Elven nobles.

The conspiracy was happening between two Viscount families and it should be within Lucas's capabilities to clear it.

But instead of doing that, he ended up involving the entire Human Race into it and gave himself a deadline of twenty-two months.

In just twenty-two months, he had plans to initiate all four phases and make the Elves a puppet.

But with Graham in the picture, things weren't easy as he had to convince him first.

Thankfully, Lucas was someone with a great deal of experience. He knew how to handle people well and just after a day's worth of discussion, he had made the Humans understand how important it was to act early.

Everyone was convinced, Graham included, and they decided that a month later, phase two would begin.

For now, phase one was going on and they had to ensure that it got completed properly.

Lisbel Square.

A day had passed and there were still no signs of any authorities coming over to stop these people even though a few people had died already.

Lisbel Square was jam packed and it was so crowded that Lith had to change places.

He went up in the air along with Alea and Ren and was overlooking the clash from midair.

All this while, Alea was with him and it was good that she wasn't bored and asked him to take her back to the castle.

Alea ate many snacks while being at Lith's side and watched the clash. She commented on a few things from time to time and just listened to Lith's commentary on the clash.

Lith purposefully let his thoughts out loud so that Alea could hear and not be bored.

It was working and Alea wasn't bored due to it.

When Lith didn't talk, Alea would torture Ren to keep herself busy.

Last time, by using his paws, she had made a beautiful landscape on the canvas of the clash happening in front of her.

It amazed Lith and made him wonder just what all skills did Alea have within her.

Anyway, keeping Alea's topic aside, Lith found many useful things by looking at the clash.

The first thing he noticed was that it wasn't happening naturally, meaning someone was behind it.

The second thing was that the emotions of the commoner elves was being played with by the person behind the scenes.

Lith didn't know who it was by just looking at the clash, but...

Lith stared at the conflict below him and cracking his neck, said softly,

"It wouldn't be for long."

He stretched and got ready to get into action.

Just by watching, not many things could be understood. Everything that he knew so far were all due to his great comprehension and analytical skills.

But to understand more, he had to join in on the conflict and only then would he know who it was that was orchestrating the whole thing.

However, before he went down, he talked to Alea and asked her to stay here and not go elsewhere.

He also told her that if she stayed here and watched him, she'll find something interesting.

Lith also promised her that he would get her another stuff toy if she didn't move and after a great deal of talking later, Alea agreed to not move.

As for Ren, he woofed and begged Lith to be taken with him.

Ren looked at Lith with a sad puppy face and said, "Woooo..."

He didn't want to be with Alea at any cost.

Lith, looking at him, smiled and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Woof!" Ren agreed immediately.

Lith smiled.

He picked up Ren and looking him in the eyes, his smile grew wider and he said, "What a bad master would I be to leave my pet alone in someone else's care, right?"

"Woof! Woof!" Ren nodded his head repeatedly.

Lith chuckled and still looking at Ren, said, "get ready then."

"Woo?—"

Swisssshhhh!

Lith dived straight down with Ren in his hands and didn't give him a chance to understand what was happening.

"WOOOOOOOOoooo... oooo... oo... o..."

His soulful cry could be heard by Alea above and she couldn't help but giggle and wave at Lith and him.

"Have a good day~"
