《Legacy: Lord Alba》Chapter 50: Ants
Advertisement
Frey just listened in silence to what Alexander was saying. As far as he knew, a normal person could not even leave the southern part of the continent in his entire life, so it did not seem strange that out there, there are powers equal or stronger than the ones he knew.
Seeing the silence of the other party, Alexander continued: "Mr. Frey, let me be honest if there is something that you should be afraid of it's "greed". One should know that although these sects are the local powers if we take the whole picture of the continent they would amount to no more than ants and you just have to give these ants the necessary benefits to make them fight among themselves, it is not very complicated "
Frey reflected the words he just heard from Alexander and said unbelievingly: "Then you plan to make it that the powers are so busy fighting each other that they do not have time to deal with us."
Alexander was very pleased by Frey response. it's the very reason why he likes talking to smart people, the more he spoke with him the more he understood how despite being born as a commoner without any background he managed to become a prominent figure within the Alba kingdom. Although for him, that achievement was unimportant, that did not mean the same for the other party. Therefore, if one sees it from the perspective of the other side, One could see that it was a great achievement for the other side.
Alexander said: "you are right but at the same time wrong if you have not noticed. When the six powers came to recruit new disciples, their relationship was amicable, do you know what it means?"
After hearing that, Frey pondered for a moment, then said: "It means that they are in an alliance."

hearing that Alexander clapped and said: "you are right, they are in an alliance, but this alliance seems to be recent, and I can only think of one reason why such powers came together to form an alliance."
Frey, could not help but ask: "why?"
Alexander turned a little serious and said: "They want to stop being a desolate land, and become a 5th-grade mortal country."
This confused Frey, "But third prince, that's something they could do on their own, why do they have to form an alliance for that?"
"Mr. Frey, As someone working in politics, you should be already aware of this, a king can not allow the neighboring kingdoms to become too strong even if the neighboring kingdom does not possess any immediate threat to your kingdom, the same goes for the powers. If the balance is broken and one becomes stronger than the rest, it is most likely that he will annex the other powers to be stronger." When he heard that, Frey understood that the relationship between the powers was not so different than the Kingdoms. Then Alexander continued: "Because of this the competition between the younger generation is very bloody, many of them die at the hands of disciples of nearby powers, so an alliance makes sense if they want to develop without being harassed."
After hearing that, Frey leaned on the chair and slowly stroked his beard as he said: "But if the powers are in an alliance, how shall we make them fight each other?"
Alexander calmly replied: "It's not necessary to make them fight with each other, we just have to make everyone beware of everyone, and make powerful people stay in power, so we do not have to worry, I mean you already know how strong is Audrey right?"

Frey could not help but nod, as he saw Audrey cripple the elder of the Sea Palace, and asked: "how do you plane to make them stand still?"
Alexander put his elbows on the table with his fingers intertwined each other while smiling like an old fox and said: "Let's put a price on the heads of the supreme elders of all powers, but not in money but a pill of opening Elemental!"
"Hearing that Frey just furrowed his eyebrows" what is this opening elemental pill?" He had never heard about this pill.
Alexander Continued: "It's normal that you do not know but this is a pill used to break the bottleneck between the Realm of Qi Gathering and the Elemental Realm," he smiled at Frey cheerfully as he said, "Something that the other supreme elders need desperately, Now do you understand?"
Frey opened his eyes wide in wonder, as Alexander planned to give them something that was necessary for them to breakthrough elemental realm and all they needed to do was to kill their peers which were impossible for them to accomplish all alone therefore they need to form an alliances with other supreme Elders to face their target in two to one, but how could they go to ask for an alliance to go and kill another elder and not know if another had already done it and he was the target of the other party?
This would make the relationship between them very tense, and they will have no choice but to guard themselves at the base of their respective sects, not only that, to prevent another Sect from trapping their disciples and elders they would be ordered to return to their respective sects to protect themselves. Meanwhile, the main culprit would be free of all sin.
After a few moments, Frey finally recovered his senses sighing and asked: "The third prince is wise, but I imagine that this situation will not last forever, right?"
Alexander extended his hands, making a gesture towards Frey and replied:" Of course not, imagine that a guy arrives in 50 years asking for the reward, so to avoid all that It will be given a term of two years to perform the task, This will give us enough time to grow and we will not be afraid against mere powers anymore."

It's just a picture I found one day at DeviantArt and thought that the two shown in the picture looked like how I imagined Lyle and another character to be. Simply put, it was convenient in various way and I also loved the art. From my understanding is is from a collaboration between artists Chocobikies and Pinlin. Here is a link to where I found the original http://pinlin.deviantart.com/art/Linked-456655669
