"I propose to start with members of the younger generation. It is easier for them to learn and eliminate the xenophobic ideology implanted in their minds by their father and brothers." Cain could see a mixture of emotions in the faces of the powerhouses, including Blood Duke and Bloodless #1. They could see the gain in sending people of the Purist Path into the army. There was no better place to prove yourself and understand that the essence of a man was his character and not the blood that ran through his veins than the flames of the battlefield. Not to mention, they would be fighting against the Dark Races, something all humans hated, making it easier to bond. However, it could also erode those youths' sense of belonging to the Blood Sea, generating problems in the long run. "Of course, you would not just send warriors to the Imperial Lightning Fort and expect nothing in return. I am sure the Collapsing Lightning Duke would be happy to send young soldiers here. That would also help to combat xenophobia. You can establish a merit system to increase their standing and ranking in the Blood Sea, making their presence a win for everybody." The frown on the powerhouses grew weaker as they heard that part of Cain's plan since it indeed would be a win for everybody. They were not totally convinced, but the next part made everybody's eyes glow. "Besides, having a large number of soldiers in the Blood Sea would make anyone think twice about attacking you." Your next read is at empire A flash of shock crossed the eyes of the Blood Duke, Bloodless #1, and every other powerhouse in the room. It was clear that the Blood King did not fear the Blood Sea, but even The Organization thought twice about attacking the Imperial Army. Taking soldiers from the army into their ranks would help people understand that outsiders were not all monsters and give the Blood Sea a new shield without them losing their individuality. "That tactic will work in most of the youths. Some would retain their xenophobic nature regardless of everything, but their numbers, power, and influence will be so little that they would not be a problem now or in the future." Cain's words made awe appear in the powerhouses. They wonder how someone so young would have such sharp insight regarding human nature. In all honesty, even Cain did not know it. Most likely, it was part of the experiences of his past life that lingered in his soul. Bloodless #1 was very pleased with Cain's plans, but one major problem remained. "Helping the majority of those youths see the stupidity of xenophobia is plausible, but what about the Wave Kings? They are older, and it would be harder for them to change their nature. We can allow a few dozen or even hundreds of Wave Warriors or Wave Champions with a xenophobic nature since they can be kept in line, but a single Wave King could provoke a lot of damage." Cain nodded, and cold light appeared in his eyes as he exchanged glances with Bloodless #1. "The battlefield is a very dangerous place. Everybody that goes in must be ready to die. The Blood Duke stared at Cain for a moment, and although he did not negate it, neither did he affirm the young man's words. "Why would I harm the people of my own path? My stance toward the Purist Path should be clear and that my relation with the Blood King can only be one of pure animosity." Cain's eyes remained cold as he stared at the Blood Duke. "You wanted a civil war, a way to get rid of the High Blood Elder and all those powerhouses from the Purist Path. While there was discomfort and rage in the Integrationist Path's Wave Kings, it did not reach the point where they would march into war. Yet, things would have taken a very different turn if the Blood Maiden or some of the Blood Champions had perished under the nefarious tactics of some assassins." Cain noticed how the Blood Duke clenched his fists, but the young man did not stop. "One or two deaths would have been enough. You never expected everybody to be in danger, so the Wave King assassin should have been a flaw in your plan." The Blood Duke's eyes grew sharp as he was about to counter Cain's words when he felt Bloodless #1 cold gaze. He sighed and shook his head for a moment before speaking. "The Blood Sea could not endure this division for much longer, so I needed to do something. I knew danger was looming, so I made the hard choice. The life of two people for the safety of millions. It was not easy, nor something I enjoyed, but I did it. Sacrifices are needed in war. Any good general understands that." Cain stared at the Blood Duke for a moment before nodding. He could see the reasoning behind the man's plan, and shouting in anger was useless since he had no way of harming this one. He just wanted to ascertain the kind of man he was and also verify Bloodless #1's participation. "I understand you, but from now on, you will never have my trust." The Blood Duke clenched his fists. Before the war, the trust of a Wave Champion would have meant nothing, but Cain was already intertwined with the fate of the Blood Sea. However, he could do nothing about it; his decision pushed things to this place. "Soon, the Ascendance of the Blood Moon will begin, and I will march into the Blood Sea's core. Before that, I would like a meeting with Jason Samsan, alone and without people watching us." The Blood Duke and Bloodless #1 immediately understood what Cain was after. Cain had already learned the consequences of not taking care of his enemies and would not allow another Uriel to appear. Jason would never stop hating him; if that were the case, he would kill this one here and now. "I can visit Jason for you," Bloodless #1 spoke. It was easy for him to decide between Cain and Jason. Cain immediately shook his head. "I want to visit him myself. Without shackles on his body."
