Chapter 2806: Chapter 1201: Scheming and Strife

Noble Saiyamofu was clearly very aware of this point. This time, rather than simply falling silent, her figure started to fade and she directly departed.

Struggles for power and palace intrigues are also an inseparable part of the nobility.

She cannot remove this from her divine position, nor can she intervene too much.

Because this matter inherently has no right or wrong, only a redistribution of power.

The best approach is to leave them to fight it out themselves; regardless of who wins or loses, she remains undefeated.

Because whichever side wins will become the new nobility, needing her endorsement, needing her teachings to assist in governance.

The four dukes did not speak to stop her; a True God who knows when to leave is a good True God.

They only need Noble Saiyamofu to stand against threats from the divine when they face them.

Otherwise, she can remain lofty, accepting their offerings without interfering in their governance.

If she cannot do this, they don’t mind replacing her with another True God to revere.

The world is not lacking in True Gods.

Of course, this is a worst-case scenario, as a True God like Noble Saiyamofu, who fits their rule perfectly, is currently unparalleled.

Moreover, those powerful True Gods will not easily intervene in mundane disputes.

Only new gods like Noble Saiyamofu, who urgently need faith, will resort to such strategies.

For the four dukes, the greatest significance of Noble Saiyamofu’s descent is the power boost she brings, filling them with radiance and the confidence to do things they previously dared not.

Such as jointly heading to the City of Brilliance to personally meet Prince Harried.

Previously, though their power was formidable, it wasn’t yet world-class; once outside their domain, there was significant risk to their personal safety.

Now it’s different; with the four joining forces, even if the opponent is a demigod, they must retreat three leagues.

If they really encounter life-threatening danger, Noble Saiyamofu won’t sit idly by. 𝚏𝗋ℯⅇ

Under powerful external threats, the efficiency of the four dukes this time is unprecedentedly high; they set the plan, then immediately took action, directly teleporting to the vicinity of the City of Brilliance, ready to personally visit Prince Harried.

This exiled prince of the Tesser Kingdom is not currently in Waterdeep City but at a temporary military camp by the Desalin River.

No matter how inclusive the City of Brilliance is, it doesn’t permit Prince Harried to build his army there; his mercenary force must remain outside the city, far from the core controlled areas.

This temporary camp is exceptionally busy, not only with many mercenaries arriving upon hearing the news, but also with numerous supply vehicles coming and going, delivering abundant provisions, including living supplies and armored equipment.

These supply vehicles, of course, come from Waterdeep City.

This Northern Lands’ jewel is always famed for its abundant goods; if you have money, there’s nothing you cannot buy here, including an army.

Prince Harried’s mercenary force is already taking shape; not only are many mercenaries drilling in the camp but also several large ships on the Desalin River are cooperating in training maneuvers.

The direct distance from here to the Tesser Kingdom is over two thousand kilometers; Prince Harried clearly isn’t planning to emulate Gaven’s thousand-mile overland migration but is prepared to travel by water.

As long as there are sufficient ships, by heading south along Sword Bay, they can reach the Tesser Kingdom in just over a month.

"It seems our Prince doesn’t act on a whim, but had expert guidance, planning everything thoroughly," Duke Francis couldn’t help but comment.

As one from a military family, he assesses the opponent’s training to estimate the general combat capability of this army.

The combat power of the mercenary army before them is already at a passing level, sufficient to handle most war conflicts; post-bloodshed, as long as they aren’t completely routed at the first blow, they can swiftly transform into an elite force.

Don’t hear the term mercenaries and think they are rabble.

Those ordinary farmers aren’t qualified to be called mercenaries; at least, one must be an adventurer or a professional to make a living this way, as the wilderness is fraught with dangers; without genuine skills, it’s easy to be ousted by harsh reality.

"Land warfare and naval warfare are entirely different concepts; it goes doubly for ordinary professionals, even many transcendents have little use when out at sea; if the ship sinks, they can easily end up as fish food.

At sea, strong ships and powerful cannons are key," Duke Zeber spoke with a hint of disdain.

The few ships training on the Desalin River are all large flat-bottomed vessels; though sizable, they’re unsuitable for sea voyages; a little wind and waves can topple them.

Only those who have sailed the open seas truly understand how terrifying the ocean’s wind and waves can be.

The nickname for the Sea Queen Ambri is ’Shrew Queen’; she hardly understands reasoning, doing as she pleases to stir up storms in the sea.

She is probably one of the most active True Gods among the Deities of Felen on the Material Plane, with her rampant presence in major oceans.

Because no race worships her, even aquatic races mostly worship their racial gods.

Her beliefs mainly rely on intimidating sailors and coastal cities and island residents during sea voyages.
