John understood the content after a few murmurs. It seemed that a cornered individual had caught the attention of a high-ranking official and entered the chaotic world of nobility, cleverly maneuvering to turn the official's subordinates to their advantage.
"Brother, are you suggesting we find a way to sow discord within the Third Prince's ranks, making those teams ours?" John felt he was beginning to grasp something important, although Redman still had a broader perspective. He hadn’t anticipated John would think of such a strategy.
Redman was surprised that John could come up with this. Initially, he had only intended to learn from that book about how to ingratiate himself with the Third Prince’s subordinates. Now that John had voiced it, he couldn’t pretend he hadn’t thought of it.
"Yes, that's right. However, causing discord isn’t easy. We need absolute loyalty, and we can’t let the Third Prince catch on. That’s quite difficult," Redman replied.
Indeed, who could guarantee complete loyalty?
John certainly had his methods but wasn’t planning to share them with Redman. The more people who knew about this plan, the less secure it would be. He had already made arrangements for Template Reward warriors to be assigned to the Third Prince’s unit; no one would suspect they were connected to him. As for Roma Twilight Reward, he couldn’t just act recklessly; Half-Step Transcendent was still too conspicuous.
"Brother, do you think you could find some people? We need those who are capable yet not easily noticed," John suggested.
Redman furrowed his brow and shook his head helplessly. "It’s not that simple to find such individuals! Even if we manage to identify someone, it’s unlikely we could keep it hidden from the Third Prince."
As he spoke, he pondered internally; the Third Prince was no fool. Any slight disturbance on their side might raise his suspicions.
John understood the difficulties involved; after all, how could there not be spies within the army? Perhaps even now, someone was watching them outside to prevent them from leaking information about the Third Prince's whereabouts. The thought sent a shiver down his spine.
Redman continued, "However, according to what the Third Prince said, this time legendary figures are strictly prohibited from participating in the contest for the throne. This means that the strongest will be at most Epic-level experts. As long as we remain cautious and steady, we should be able to keep our lives intact."
Redman seemed to relax slightly, though a hint of worry remained in his eyes.
John didn’t share his optimism. He scoffed and replied, "Brother, you’re being overly confident. Who can guarantee absolute safety in such matters? Besides, do you really think those legendary experts will obediently follow the rules and refrain from intervening because of some princes?"
John had recently learned that legendary experts were exceedingly rare in the capital; they represented a kingdom's most formidable fighting force on display. Their numbers were extremely limited; in border counties like Blink County, there wasn’t even one visible. Even that Marquis Duvas with his perplexed expression was merely at the peak of Epic-level.
As for Redman's mention of the legendary Sanctuary, it hadn’t even been brought up—like a taboo subject that Third Prince Caesar Novich avoided entirely. John felt a sense of loss for not having gathered any information about Sanctuary.
Nevertheless, one thing was clear: among lower-tier nobles, Transcendent warriors remained absolute powerhouses; it seemed their strength hadn’t diminished in value.
Redman fell silent; he knew his thoughts were somewhat naive. Yes, strong individuals were still human and had their own emotions.
"John, just wash up and go to sleep. It's not something we can decide; we'll take it one step at a time. A small person must have the awareness of a small person."
"Yes, the serfs are small people compared to John, and John is a small person compared to the White Family. Yet, isn't the White Family also a small player in relation to the upper nobility?"
