My Players Are So Fierce

Chapter 2759 -920: His Highness Prince Hu Fu Demonstrates What It Means to Use a Cannon Against Mosquitoes_2

However, His Highness Hu Fu’s eyes were very bright; to put it in a more emotional way, these were a pair of eyes that could speak. Just these gentle blue eyes alone were enough to leave quite a good first impression.

He watched the projected battle of the players on the screen and sighed:

“Although we don’t know their true origins, nor do we really understand the history of their world, the fact that they can produce such outstanding warriors shows that their level of civilization is by no means ordinary.

What do you think, brother?in?law?”

“Your Highness, we are on official duty. You should address me by my position.”

Standing beside the Prince was a tall Sanghai man in a flaming red priest’s robe, wearing the Golden Fierce Sun crown unique to the Sun Priests, holding a war spear topped with the Sun Holy Emblem, with the Holy Codex of the Fierce Sun at his waist. He spoke very sternly, but then added in a lower voice:

“And your sister and I have only entered into a betrothal. Given your status, you shouldn’t call me that in an official setting; it will cause me a lot of trouble. You know, there are already plenty of chatterboxes in the Sun Holy City spreading rumors that I’m some lucky bastard who stepped in dog shit…

Er, pardon me, I shouldn’t use such crude metaphors in front of you.”

“But I don’t mind, Priest Bodinos.”

His Highness Hu Fu smiled.

The relationship between him and this priest clearly surpassed the constraints of rank, and that distinctive form of address also showed that this was truly “one of his own.”

Just from the priest’s voice, one could tell he was also a young Sanghai man, a bit older than His Highness Hu Fu but not by much. From the highest?grade Fierce Sun Holy Emblem on his chest, it could be seen that this was a Grand Priest.

To attain such a prominent position at such a young age was enough to prove that this man was a true genius within the Solar Church, and the fact that he had been taken by the Pharaoh King as a Princely Consort further showed that this priest was a remarkably talented youth.

Hu Fu’s elder sister, Princess Fleur Patra, was the most beautiful desert jewel of the Sanghai Empire and also the most perfect woman in the Sanghai Empire. With such a wife, no wonder his colleagues gossiped about him; this was a genuine winner in life. The fact that his colleagues hadn’t already dragged him into some dark alley and thrown a sack over his head showed he knew how to handle people.

“But you still haven’t told me what you think of these Undying Spirits.”

His Highness Hu Fu watched the smooth progress of the assault below. When he saw Lord Pa Ying leading several vampire vanguards and breaking through into the valley where the Shrine of the Master of the Hunt was located, he relaxed, then asked the stern Great Sun Priest at his side:

“According to the information Father has gathered so far, it is precisely because of their activities in concert with Lord Morphy that a faction of faith in the creator has re?emerged among the Wolf People. For other civilizations this might be a miracle, but for us Sanghai People it signifies an even more important choice.

The creator now has a second organized faction of followers in this world; what attitude should we take toward this?

Should we accept these Guardians of Creation?

Or, as we did a hundred years ago, should we refuse the invitation of that arrogant King of Bone Biting?”

“Your Highness, these are matters we should discuss in a sealed chamber, especially those secrets from a hundred years ago.”

Bodinos replied:

“The private contacts between the Sanghai Empire and the King of Bone Biting are not matters that can be laid on the table. You are the future Pharaoh King, and your benevolent nature is a blessing for all our people, but your carelessness in certain details could lead to rather terrible consequences.

Especially in diplomatic settings.

However, if you ask for my opinion, I will tell you that I am happy to see the followers of the creator spread like wildfire across the Continent.”

The Sun Priest explained earnestly:

“Perhaps the Wolf People of the Guardians of Creation faction understand the creator differently from us Sanghai People, but the single fact that we both serve the creator is enough for us to adopt a generous, open?minded attitude and accept this group of Wolf People who have found their way back.

One foolish conflict over the right to interpret the faith three hundred years ago was enough. The dreadful outcome of that Mamuruk rebellion should have taught all Sanghai People to be tolerant.

Of course, there is a precondition for accepting the Guardians of Creation faction: these Wolf People must never, like the King of Bone Biting a hundred years ago, claim to be the orthodox inheritors of the creator’s will and arrogantly demand that we become their vassals.

Whether from the standpoint of law or the rules of civilization, this is absolutely unacceptable!

As for those foreigners…

My view will have to be based on a deeper understanding of them, but so far, I think that while we should approach them with goodwill, we must also be on guard. You may not know, but when they boarded the Sun Ship earlier, some of the foreigners were obviously carrying out some kind of espionage activity…

This shows their complexity.

Your Highness, we cannot judge people by appearances, and likewise, in most cases a first impression cannot be the basis on which you make decisions.”

“Well said! That’s exactly the same conclusion I came to.”

His Highness Hu Fu nodded in satisfaction and said:

“Then let us hand this answer sheet back to Father as my response to the political test he set for me. After the war, I will represent the Sanghai Empire in a round of talks with that ‘Wise Wolf.’

Last time, Father’s talks with the King of Bone Biting ended in a disappointing conclusion. I hope that this time I can win a glorious victory for the creator.

Lord Bodinos, may I invite you to serve as my advisor in this round of diplomacy?”
