He had several ideas, but he wasn't quite sure...
There is currently insufficient relevant intelligence, and Colin cannot know everything out of thin air. He has to wait for more news from Patton.
"Let's see if we can get some information to determine which elder is the first one."
Colin thought about it for a moment and asked Barton to talk a little to see if he could get the name of the guy behind the scenes.
If it had a name...
His speculation will soon have new developments.
However, just when Colin thought it would be difficult and would take some time to figure it out...
Information came quickly from Patton, who basically answered all the questions without any evasion.
"They said the one who sent them here was... the High Priest."
[You realize that there is basically no lie in these words.]
"No lie... Does this mean that the person behind the scenes is the high priest? Well, the ordinary sea clansmen didn't know that Barton was an undercover agent, so they directly reported the name of the high priest, hoping to intimidate Barton and prove that they were their own people... Then they wanted to get information about the 'Holy Light Alliance', but what they didn't know was that the high priest asked them to find Barton because he had seen through everything. Well, what these ordinary sea clansmen think is not very important. What's important is what the person behind the scenes thinks..."
Colin tapped his fingers lightly on the edge of the parchment scroll, his expression becoming even weirder. After a while, he replied,
"Is it the high priest I know?"
He remembered that if he was not mistaken, in the territory of the Sea Clan, the elders were called various priests or something, but the only one who could be called the High Priest or the High Priest... was the person at the pinnacle of power.
this...
The enemy leader sent a bunch of people to join them blatantly
Things seem to be getting weirder...
For a moment, Colin couldn't figure out what the other party wanted to do. He didn't think this person was a brainless character...
Just based on the fact that the other party saw through Patton's identity through unknown means, no matter how stupid the other party is, they would not be stupid enough to blatantly send a group of people to join them.
It can be said that the moment these people appeared here, both sides had already "opened their cards".
"If that's the case, then since these people are here, don't even think about leaving..."
Colin touched his chin and planned to ask Barton to help these people change their beliefs.
However, just as Colin sent the message, he suddenly had an idea...
Guess whether the other party might be playing a "betting on both sides" tactic.
Or maybe all of the above
"Maybe the recent events have made him realize something, so he plans to leave a way out?"
Colin was thoughtful. After all, generally speaking, if there were people inside the enemy, they would be able to better grasp the enemy's movements. If something really happened, and they were defeated in the end...
Then, through these arrangements, you can directly join the other side and leave a way out for yourself.
But he felt that it was not entirely true...
No matter what, in short, make the person your own first and then think about other things!
It's not a good idea to hide it like this...
