"You did a good job in the previous battle. It was because you suppressed the empire's commander, Denton, that the great Knosolis tribe could easily defeat the empire's vanguard, "Matriarch Cynthia said with a smile.
"It's a pity that Denton escaped." Camilla, or rather, Camille, did not sound relaxed.
"Don't blame yourself. It's because I didn't make a move. I have a long-term plan. Count Denton's death at the hands of Lord Bosuvius is more valuable than his death at your hands. I ordered you not to pursue at that time for this reason. You're also very obedient. This is what I like about you. "
Matriarch Cynthia smiled gently.
Although the matriarch had shown her kindness, Camille did not relax at all. Looking at the matriarch's gentle smile, she even felt a chill in her heart.
Camille's identity this time was a noble member of the Knosolis tribe in the Drows Empire of the underground world.
If they had a choice, Class 129 of the Divine Court Training Camp would not give such a key position to Camille, a native of Earth. In fact, in the Divine Court Training Camp, it was an open secret that the Staralliance students discriminated against the natives of Earth.
The reason for all of this was only one word: gender.
The Drows Empire was a matriarchal society. The status of men was extremely low, even lower than the status of women in the feudal society of the ancient Hua Xia where men were superior to women. And the Staralliance students in the training camp, those in the hero profession, were all men.
To let the Staralliance students cut into the Drows Empire, even if they put in ten times the effort, it was impossible to get any authority.
After Camille cut in, she put in a lot of effort to complete the priestess trial mission of the Queen of Spiders Lolth and finally achieved her current position — a high-ranking member of the Knosolis tribe.
This priestess trial mission was very difficult, and the price of failure was very serious. She would be turned into a half-human, half-spider monster by the mentally unstable Queen of Spiders Lolth and lose her identity as an awakened.
In other words, if Camille failed, she would have to escape the Cain Dimension. This meant that she would lose the opportunity to participate in this great unification, and the price would be heavy.
Fortunately, she succeeded. As a newly promoted priestess, her words carried a lot of weight in the tribe. This invasion of the surface world, the Knosolis tribe was so active because of her persuasion.
However, even so, Camille was still very careful in front of the matriarch. These days in the cruel society of the Drow Empire had made Camille clearly aware of the horror of this race. What kinship, friendship, love … In this cruel race, all of these were luxuries, or rather, they were all dog shit. No one had these things, and no one cared about these things.
All the drows were thinking about conspiracies and how to survive better in society at the expense of others.
The drow nobles, who had a long heritage and had received "good" education, were even more adept at scheming. Civilians simply couldn't beat them. As the top echelon of the entire tribe, the matriarch Cynthia was undoubtedly a master of scheming.
In the face of the Matriarch's praise, Camilla could only lower her posture. "This is all thanks to the great Matriarch Cynthia's command. Camilla is only following your orders."
"You don't have to be humble. You have the right to be proud."
I don't believe you, thought Camille.
Mother Cynthia smiled and said, "Then, what do you think we should do next?"
Camille's heart skipped a beat as she remembered the class leader's instructions.
"Matriarch, now we have defeated the empire's vanguard, but this is only the beginning. The army led by Nicholas IV has already left for the Xisha Province. Only by defeating them can we truly rule the surface world. "
Matriarch Cynthia said faintly, "Camilla, what I want to hear is the specific action steps, not these things that a three-year-old child knows."
Camille's heart trembled, and she whispered, "There's news from Bossuwei's territory that they have grasped the route of Nicholas IV's army and found a suitable place to carry out an ambush."
With that, Camille handed over a simple map with a place name circled in bold red pen. "It's this place called 'Gridell Canyon.' I've seen it, and this place is indeed suitable for us dark elves and underground races to carry out a surprise attack. "
"Then, what do you think?" Matriarch Cynthia asked, seemingly inquiring.
Just as Camille was about to speak, she instinctively sensed that something was wrong. She paused for a moment and suddenly changed the topic. "Matriarch, Camille believes that this is Lord Bossuwei's scheme. His goal is to let us and Nicholas IV both suffer, and then take the opportunity to jump out and clean up the mess."
"Yes, you're right."
Matriarch Cynthia nodded with satisfaction. "You didn't disappoint me and proved your worth, Camilla. If you can't see this, you won't be able to pass the trial of the Spider Queen and become her priestess. "
Camille's heart turned cold. If she had followed Andre's instructions and continued to encourage Matriarch Cynthia to ambush Nicholas, it was hard to say what would have happened in the end. Perhaps Matriarch Cynthia wouldn't touch her for the time being, but losing the trust of a matriarch was also a very serious crisis for a newly promoted priestess of the Spider Queen.
Matriarch Cynthia naturally didn't know what Camille was thinking, and she sneered. "The nobles of the Xisha Province are still far from being able to use us drows. Camilla, tell them that the army of the Drow Empire hasn't finished assembling, and it will take at least ten days for them to have the ability to fight Nicholas IV! If they're in a hurry, go find Nicholas first and test the strength of the opponent. "
"The strength of the nobles of the Xisha Province against Nicholas IV is like an egg against a rock. They won't agree to this, "Camille said.
"No, they will!" Matriarch Cynthia sneered. "Because Nicholas IV's first target will be them. Do you really think that the escape of the vanguard commander named Denton was a coincidence? No, it's just because I didn't do it on purpose! "
"The moment Bossuwei's private army killed Denton, they were destined to become the first target of Nicholas IV's hatred. Just watch, as long as they don't encounter any obstacles along the way, the western expedition army of the Gorse Empire will inevitably drive straight to Duke Bossuwei's manor and castle! In order to protect their foundation, the nobles of the Xisha Province can only fight to the death. We, the Drow Empire, are the hunters who have the last laugh! "
Camille understood. "We just need to lurk near Bossuwei's manor and wait for the opportunity to join the battlefield, and we can clean up the mess."
"That's right. Although Bossuwei's private army is very weak, they rely on the castle's defense and will definitely cause a lot of casualties to Nicholas IV's Imperial Army. We just need to wait until the Imperial Army breaks through the castle and enters the city, and then we can kill our way out in one fell swoop. We can then defeat the regular forces of the surface humans and gain a firm foothold in the Xisha Province! "
Matriarch Cynthia said with a smile. "Then, with the Xisha Province as our base, we can enjoy the rich resources of the surface world and develop rapidly. As for the underground world, let the other two tribes compete with the monsters in the plague territory. We don't need it. "
