Primordial Villain With A Slave Harem

Chapter 743: Pincer Attack

“Curses!” Ayame hissed as her head snapped between the two forces, pinching us. Based on what I heard from Rajah, they were getting the same sandwiching treatment, just swapped the Covenant forces for Elvardia’s. I didn’t know which side drew the shorter end of the stick.

“Why would Elvardia attack?!” Sylvaris asked with disbelief, shocked by the news. Based on our intel, they should be prepared to invade the Vraven Kingdom through the Ravenshade Duchy. Sending their forces here didn’t make sense. Unless one considered that…

It was Iris who cracked the code. “If Elvardia wants to go all in on the invasion of the human lands, their borders will be vulnerable to beastkin attacks, who will take the opportunity to raid their fertile lands free of their valuables. Elvardia knew that most of the Beastman Confederation’s forces would be present here today, so by working together with the lionkin and the Covenant, they could lay waste to the forces that would be a pain in their side during their grand invasion…”

“By slaying tens of thousands of beastkin elites today, their flanks will be protected thanks to the Beastmen Confederation being forced into serious rebuild mode…” Aurora summarized with a wry tone.

Seraphiel also had a thought of her own. “And it seems the Covenant is eager to have us killed too… I imagine their history with the Consortium is long and rich, full of bad blood. The Consortium had committed over 30,000 highly trained soldiers to secure good relations with the whole nation of the Beastman Confederation. If the liches and their minions can eliminate this army, their rival syndicate will be dealt a significant blow. The Consortium might even get itself destroyed if the Greenvale family declares war, should the 30,000 members fall today.”
