"Good, good, well-reasoned!"
The old man nodded constantly, his eyes filled with approval as he looked at Luo'er.
"So, what do you plan to do?" the old man asked with interest.
"First, we should establish autonomy for Lipei through an agreement to prevent Earth's forces from intervening and escalating the war. Secondly, we should nominally sever ties with the Church, using them to attract the attention of Gudelv, so he doesn't focus all his efforts on Lipei."
Luo'er explained.
"But, if we cut off ties with the Church..." the old man hesitated.
"We can first contact relevant personnel in the Church to reach a mutual understanding—cut off ties nominally, while secretly providing the Church with all the support they need to contain the expansion of Odelanqi..."
