Owen nodded in agreement. "The dark elf territory is relatively close to Emerald Dreamscape. If we can establish an intelligence network there, it will certainly work to our advantage."
"Moreover, I recall that the boarmen live near the dark elf lands. Perhaps we can use the Water of Life to broker a partnership with them."
Realizing that direct confrontation with Emerald Dreamscape was impossible, Owen began to devise alternative strategies.
In the original storyline, the boarmen near the dark elf territory were a uniquely powerful and savage race. Even Emerald Dreamscape seldom ventured into their lands lightly.
Their weakness was a near-irresistible attraction to anything rich in life essence. Trading the Water of Life for their cooperation could allow Shadow Clan to operate freely within their territory.
Leslie nodded slightly.
