"Correct! This is the first point, we must succeed in the assassination, if we’re to find any way out!... But right now, the Divine King has scattered seven and a half Royal Cocoa Beans. He placed two on the west road, two in the central road, and three and a half in the east... In this situation, although the Divine King’s power has been dispersed, trying to successfully assassinate the Divine King among twenty or thirty thousand soldiers, is incredibly difficult! This means relying entirely on ’knife and dagger’ revenge. If we fail, we won’t even have a chance for a second blow! Unless we continue to scatter..."

Upon hearing this, Xintle’s brow twitched, and his expression fluctuated uncertainly. He grasped Izel’s implied meaning, but the thought of having to continue enduring felt truly tormenting to him.

"Izel, are you saying we should continue to wait? How long are we supposed to wait?"

"Xintle, do you remember a few years back, when we enjoyed the Tarascola noble lady together, what kind of Divine Revelation I had?..."

"...Which time are you referring to?"

"The time when you triumphed! Brought three similar faces, almost made me lose my patience..."

"Oh! You’re talking about that time! How, even when you were celebrating, did you have extra energy, and what Sage’s wisdom did you receive?... " 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Hmm... That time, I discovered the weakness of the Fierce Tiger... which is the weakness of the Divine King!"

"...! What is it?!... "

"The Chief Divine testifies! It is the uncontainable desire for conquest!... "

"Desire for conquest?... "

"Exactly! Desire for conquest, difficult to satisfy and cease! Right now our undercurrent stems fundamentally from the Divine King’s centralization, but the more direct influence comes from the logistical pressure brought by the Southern Expedition! The excessively lengthy supply line and transportation losses, the manpower and resources conscripted, causing the Great Nobility of the City-State to be somewhat unable to endure... But will the Southern Expedition cease after conquering the Mixteco Cloud? Or will it continue?... "

Izel squinted his eyes, like a cunning fox, speculating on the Fierce Tiger’s weakness, each word striking at the vital point.

"Apart from the Great Nobility, the conflict between the Asar Lineage and the Divine King has yet to fully erupt and can still escalate!... Their most fundamental, irreconcilable contradiction is the division of the territory after conquering the Land Amidst the Clouds... It is said that the Divine King plans to take out half the fief, to give to the child of the Princess aged one. And these fiefs were originally promised to the Asar Lineage... Clearly, the Divine King is oppressing the Asar Lineage, and it will become increasingly severe!... "

"As for the conflict between the High Priesthood and the Divine King, it actually centers on the ’Prophet’! A living Prophet, for those ambitious Elder Priests, is what kind of power threat? If we wait for the Prophet to formally enter the High Priesthood, how can they continue to speak?... "

"Moreover, both sides have conflicts over the interpretation of doctrine, conflicts over the scope of the diocese, and the unresolved conflict over the new and old divination rituals, which we can push into further strife!... The divine authority conflict between the High Priesthood and the Prophet will inevitably intensify. And within the High Priesthood, there will always be some who cannot bear it and will choose to act sooner or later!..."

"So, Xintle, have you seen our real timing to act? Once three factors are met, once three types of conflict erupt, when the Divine King’s power is severely dispersed... it will be our time to strike a killing blow, with the mindset of the Coyote Beast, piercing into the Sun Heart!!..."
