Chapter 725: Let's just split up

Robb followed the Wind Knight into the hall, where he saw Barry sitting on a luxurious chair in the middle of the room. It was probably the chair used by the former governor of the city. In front of him stood a group of dejected magicians, their hands empty and their staffs confiscated. They were dressed in ordinary clothes, and it seemed their robes had also been confiscated as weapons.

Their expressions looked embarrassed, frightened, and fearful of the punishment they were about to receive. Kante was also in the room. When he saw Robb come in, he leaned in close to Robb's ear and whispered, "Just now, Captain+ Barry pardoned the fire, water, and earth magicians, agreeing to let them join the West Gran army, to redeem their crimes. Only these lightning magicians have been detained here. We don't know how to deal with them, and they are in a panic."

Robb thought to himself, who wouldn't panic in this situation? He looked at the group of lightning magicians s, wondering if he should sympathize with them or mock them. They had excluded the wind magicians and even set up the Thors Roar to attack them from the other side of the lake. Now, they had gotten themselves into big trouble.

The group of lightning magicians hung their heads, afraid to speak up or even plead for mercy, fearing that Barry would shout at them and drag them out to be hanged. Barry put his hand on the table and tapped his fingers lightly on the surface, hesitating on how to deal with these people, which was quite a headache for him.

Frankly speaking, wind and lightning were originally branches of air magic, and they should have been united and friendly. For example, the water magic system also had two branches: water and ice. However, these two branches never quarreled or caused trouble. The ice branch peacefully accepted themselves as part of the water branch, willingly becoming the water branch's subordinate and happily maintaining the water systems status.

But the air magic system was very awkward! Both the wind and lightning systems wanted to claim that name and remove the word "air". So they were always fighting against each other, excluding, persecuting, and doing everything possible to kill each other. Now, it had become a ridiculous situation where the wind system supported the queen, and the lightning system supported Mondra.

When Barry saw Robb coming in, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He did not have to hesitate anymore, and he could just dump the problem onto Robb's lap. He stood up suddenly and said, "Robb, you are here. That's good. I was just hesitating on how to deal with these bastards. Can you help me come up with some ideas?"

Robb was hit on the forehead by a big pot as soon as he entered the room, and couldn't help but laugh and cry, "You called me here just for this?"

Barry said, "Yes!"

Robb said, "Barry, you are the captain. I am just a staff officer. For such matters, you can decide with a single word."

Barry quickly straightened up and said, "You can't say that. You're the inheritor of the old captain, and sooner or later, the Wind Knight Order will be handed over to you. Besides, the old captain played a decisive role in the Wind and Thunder War back then, so I have to respect your opinion. How should these lightning magicians be arranged?"

"I don't know!"

Barry was sweating, and the Wind Knights next to him were also sweating.

After several seconds, Barry leaned over and whispered, "Robb, your proposal seems to have ignored the issue of power balance. Only by combining wind and thunder can we be on par with the three other elements of fire, water, and earth. If we split, our power will be far behind the other three, and we might not even be one of the five elements of magic in the world."

Robb smiled and said, "We can work hard in the wind system. Even without the power of thunder magicians, we can be as strong as fire, water, and earth. What's the problem?"

Barry: "..."

The Wind Knights were sweating again, thinking, [Thats easy to say, but it's not easy to do.]

Robb said, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Now that we're about to split up, our strength will definitely be weaker than the other three factions. But after the Wind and Thunder factions split up, we'll avoid internal conflicts and each go our own way. We'll work hard, forge ahead, and gradually catch up with the other three factions."

Pausing for a moment, he continued, "If I'm not mistaken, Her Majesty the Queen must have long been aware of the constant disputes between the Wind and Thunder factions. If we propose to split up and ask Her Majesty to approve the building of separate Wind Towers and Thunder Towers in two cities for each faction to develop independently, she will definitely agree. With the protection of Her Majesty's policies, the Wind and Thunder factions will surely grow stronger and catch up with the other three factions until all disputes are resolved. We'll all work together for the prosperity and strength of the Kingdom of Gran. Everything will no longer be a problem."

Although this statement may be a little difficult to understand, everyone thought about it carefully and realized it might actually work.

Barry said, "Okay, I'll report your proposal to Her Majesty and see if she agrees. As for these Thunder magicians... let's leave them to the Black Earth Knights for now. Let them redeem themselves and make a contribution with the Black Earth Knights. After all, our Wind Knights cannot afford to take them in and risk them turning against us."
