"Our alliance's slogan will be: Eradicate the bandits, clear the trade routes, boost West End's economy, benefit the people!"

echoing the slogan.

"Eradicate the bandits, clear the trade routes!"

"Eradicate the bandits, clear the trade routes!"

Quintus and Rhett had been at the banquet the entire time, keeping an eye on Mackenzie for her protection. Quintus, seeing this display of support, couldn't help but smile, his eyes filled with admiration. "Heh, as expected from the woman I love. She's so captivating! Wherever she goes, she's the center of attention. I must say, my taste is impeccable!"

Rhett, usually quiet, couldn't resist chiming in with a playful remark. "Yep,

looks like everyone here has good taste!"

Quintus immediately got defensive, retorting, "I clearly have the best taste! I

liked Mackenzie before anyone else, even Emmanuel!"

synchronize information to make sure both their plans were progressing smoothly.

When Emmanuel learned that Mackenzie was planning to lead a campaign against the bandits, he wasn't surprised, but he still felt the need to warn her. "Mackenzie, just take on the role of commander in name only. Don't lead the charge personally, and whatever you do, don't put yourself at risk by entering the Five Poison Sect's territory."
