Decisions

Wreck's POV

"All of our preparations are now done, Chairman!"

"Are you sure, Iman?" I asked.

"I already double-checked and it is perfectly placed sir."

"Good."

"Are you sure about this idea, Chairman?" Mayor Wiro asked.

"I have no other choice Mayor. If I need to lie then so be it. This plan would probably save this city."

"Alright. I will follow you."

"Thanks, Mayor."

Mayor Wiro and the non-soldiers with us now went on hiding. All the soldiers are now stationed in their locations. Poel, Iman, and a few more soldiers are with me.

"I thank you all for following my ideas. Even if this might be considered as back-handed, you still believed in me. I assure you that this will be successful and we will be returning with another ally! Now let us go to the battlefield!"

While we moving back towards the palace, Poel talked to me.

"So you are just implementing the Fairy Card in a different way, sir."

"Yes. This might be the worst thing I have done so far but a little trickery is needed in this situation to be believable."

"Does this go against your morals, sir?"

"I may be a man with principle, but when it comes to the lives of thousands of people, I don't mind getting my hands a little bit dirty.

We have now arrived at the compound where lies a lot of dead bodies. Soldiers and civilians all with the same fate. I really have no regrets about my decisions. We can now see the main palace walls.

"Iman! Snipe the palace walls using the blood spheres!"

"Roger."

As soon as Iman replied, he has now released the string of his bow. After 2 seconds...

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

"King! Let us jump!!!!!"

"ROAARRR!!"

King ferociously roared as he leaped into the smoke coming from the explosion. As we go through the huge hole in the walls, I saw the assassins that attacked me last night fighting with some Knights wearing Red Armor. But that was not the most surprising thing I saw. My eyes saw a scene where the King is fighting with his brother using swords. I don't know what I was most surprised of. The fact that they are dueling or the fact that the King with OCD knows how to fight using a sword. Anyways I need to start my act.

"STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPP!!!!!"

Everyone that was on the vicinity froze, including the King and the Prince. Looks like I was successful.

"Chairman Wreck! What did you?! How dare you destroy our Royal Palace!" The King shouted.

"So you have picked a side now Chairman. Good Choice since I was winning anyway." The Prince stated.

"What did you say Rebel?"

"BOTH OF YOU STOP!!!! LISTEN TO ME!"

"I do not need to listen to someone who is destroying my royal palace!"

"You are wrong King Trevo! I was not the one who attacked this palace!"

"Then who was it?!"

"It is the Fairies of the River!"

Everyone that heard my statement laughed.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!! Are you kidding Chairman!?!?!" Prince Veeto chuckled.

"You must be out of your mind, Outsider!" King Trevo proclaimed.

Well if I was them too I would not believe this ridiculous statement either. The only thing here is that I am going to force them to believe me.

"I am not joking right now. My wife is a fairy of the Crimson Woods and she told me through a messenger just a while ago that the Fairies of the River that was on slumber for a Millennium is said to be awakened due to your quarrel here nearby the heart of the river where they reside!"

I definitely made all of this up. This may sound silly for you but if danger strikes, you will surely believe in it.

"The fairies will destroy your city if you don't figure this out!"

The brothers did not believe me.

"Are you kidding me? There is no way that-!"

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMM!!!"

*EXPLOSIONS SFX*

*PEOPLE CRYING SFX*

A soldier with blood on his arms came to report to the King.

"Your Highness! Locations such as the High End and the Central Area just caught on explosions!"

"WHAT!!?!?!?!" The pair reacted in unison.

"I warned you already. They are mad at humans right now. My wife said that wars and conflict is one of the major things that fairies despise the most, and the River Fairies absolutely hates on being awakened!"

"S-So you were not joking right now, Chairman?"

"Of course! I couldn't care less about your civil war. I came here to warn you and to also help your citizens into safety. I am still a man with morals. I know that this city is beloved to both of you so I need both of you to be allies right now not for the sake of yourselves but for the sake of the city you and your people love!"

"Alright. I will face this problem right now. Veeto, would you mind pushing this rebellion after we save our city?"

"I agree. Let us be peaceful for a while. Just like the old times."

The two brothers who were just fighting for the leadership a while ago decided for a truce in order to save the place they are living right now.

"Chairman! How should we calm the Fairies of the River down?"

"I believe that the one thing that triggered the River Fairies the most is Blood. As they are fairies that dwell in the clear waters, they despise blood and they view it as dirty and impure. We should try our best to remove all the blood that was spilled during your war before the Fairies get mad even more."

"Thanks for the information Chairman. Now I need Krod the generals right now to announce that ceasefire was decided and we should clean the blood!"

"Crew! I need you all to tell of the men that we should stop fighting and that we should remove all of the blood right now to save the City!"

Now both of the brothers are moving. Their natural leadership skills are displaying right now. King Trevo's wise and strict attitude is needed in a leader while Prince Veeto's humanity and instincts as a commander are proven to be necessary. They both compliment well with each other and they cover each other's weaknesses. It would be nice if they both settle this score very well.

Now, how did I instigated this plan?

As soon as I heard the 'Fairy' word, I remembered my former ultimate trump card when it comes to negotiations. That is the Fairy Card or the threatening card. I originally planned on using the Kingdom of Zione as a threat but we lack the manpower so we decided to use the Fairy Card. Before I only use it as a threat through words, but this time I applied it. Through a made-up story that was from a bedtime story Laur used to tell me at night, I was inspired to initiate this idea.

It was to basically make the humans believe that they are being punished because they are fighting. And in order to make it believable, I need to show something new which is where the Blood Spheres comes in. This special invention was created through very hard research of explosives and was implemented by Wright with the use of the Red Iron and the Purple Apples. We basically found out that a specific chemical can trigger the red iron that chemical was found at the stem of the Purple apple bushes. The concept of this orb is like a grenade. If you remove the stem that was placed at the top of the activated red iron orb, it will cause an explosion. Basically a round grenade. We originally planned this for demolition rather than warfare since this weapon is way too dangerous but Iman brought some with us. Now my plan was to basically use the Blood Spheres as the "power" of the fairies for display. I assigned the soldiers on each major location but I also ordered them to destroy parts that do not contain any living citizens. I ordered them to launch it after the signal which was delivered by Poel which is why I was left alone in the palace.

I know this plan was really messed up. I am basically tricking a whole city but it was for good purposes though. I believe that this way, everything should be in order while I can still use the 'fairies' as an alibi to control the city and to make sure not to attack us. It is a win-win for me and my country.

Poel then ran towards my location.

"Chairman! The King and the Prince called for your presence!"
