Chapter 531 Miscalculated
Dronacharya was in a peril , scar-face was absolutely serious when he told him that he would imprison him indefinitely , should his reasoning not satisfy him. Hence the pressure he had as he started his explanation was unreal.
Dronacharya said " I have three reasons for you to make me your ally , however I have confidence that any logical man would beg me to join their cause after listening to any one of them.
Number one : I boast a total army strength of 400,000 troops , of which 300,000 are tier 2 and 80,000 are tier 1 while some tier 0 cannon fodders are also there.
But all my generals are tier 3 and i myself am nearing the peak of tier 3 myself.
But that is not all , my army is well trained and well equipped , as they all have the best dark gold equipment given to them upon completion of training.
Everyone of them also have the best skill scrolls and potions available to them , hence they become an extremely capable unit that you will need to bolster your organization's numbers.
However I am a rich man , and not only will i equip my army but also yours , should you choose to accept me as your ally. ".
Dronacharya felt confident after saying this reason ,afterall who did not love money? , He had plenty of it and no real use for it . Especially after the elites share price skyrocketing , he had a tonne of reserve cash that he could spend to take down that very enemy.
However to his surprise scar-face only looked at him as if being bored as he said nothing after hearing the first reason , only looking at dronacharya plainly as if asking him to continue.
There was menace in his eyes , as if telling dronacharya that if this is all that he had to offer then he would be a prisoner for the rest of his life.
Dronacharya gulped as he gave the second reason.
He said " The second reason is that , i know the enemy like you will never know the enemy. Not only do i have spies infiltrating the enemy's organization and have access to internal Intel , but i also have information about the key secrets of the enemy and the enemy's hidden Trump cards.
With me around you will never have to worry about the unknown , as you can plan a counter strategy for the enemy's every move. How big of an advantage is that? " .
Dronacharya stated his second reason , and it was a strong one. However the problem was that he had nothing to back his bold claims as the scenario in his mind was completely different from reality.
In his mind the blood merchants were supposed to be in awe of his future insight , however he was living in a fairyland that had no correlation to reality , as all his dreams came crashing down at the question that scar face asked him.
Scar-face said " Okay , prove it ".
Only 3 words however dronacharya was left stumbling on what answer to give as naturally he had no way to proove what hidden cards the elites had before they revealed them.
He could not just go around claiming that he had reincarnation knowledge of a soul in his body that came from the past?
The blood merchants asked him a simple question , yet he was unable to give them a justifiable answer on it , as he had never thought about it in such depth .
This was the major difference between him and Rudra , as Rudra was thorough in his planning and did not give such half a**** explanations like dronacharya.
Stumped dronacharya could only mumble " Err...ummmm....thattt.....iiii...hmmm.....no...."
Scar-face gave him a threatening look as he said " Ofcourse we are to beleive you as you are the great prophet no ? , And you can look well into the future and predict the events accurately , like some ancient Greek oracle.
BULL**** . If you were the all-knowing oracle , this conversation here would not be going soo poorly now will it?
So cut the crap and think before you speak the third reason , as it might be your only chance at remaining a free man ".
Dronacharya gulped nervously as Scar-Face's judgement fell upon him . Things were not going how he expected them to go at all , and the worst part was that he had no reason 3 prepared , as he never thought it would come to reason 3!
However that only meant that he was completely f**** , unless he could think of something on the fly.
His very life hanged at the balance of what his mind could think of in an instant.

( Meanwhile in vanaheim)
" Yes princess Ruby , the kingdom of Nineclouds has indeed fallen and the territory is officially under the Duke of the elite kingdom under the Hazelgroove Empire .
If rumors are to be beleived then Shakuni maybe crowned king of the Country , although he will still pledge allegiance to emperor Cervantez.
However to be able to become a self-made king at tier 3 , Duke Shakuni is indeed something else .... We will not see his likes for another century or two for sure ".
The reporter reported the situation to Ruby , who was absolutely elated at the news.
The pressure for her marriage had been increasing in the past few days , with many suitors flocking vanaheim to ask for the beautiful princesses hand.
She had started to get a bad reputation as she rejected everyone on the first date , however all her problems were soon to be solved as her love had finally achieved his goal of becoming a king.
Should he be officially coronated , then he was sure to come for her ... Which meant that the time for her marriage was not far away.
The very thoughts of marriage and walking down the aisle in a lovely dress while shakuni waited for her at the other end made Ruby blush soo much her skin became the color of her eyes , as smoke escaped from her ears.
The moment she had been waiting for , for so many years was finally about to come . Her love was soon going to ask her hand in marriage! And nothing could make her more happier.
