Boogie signalled to the demons who passed the bribes to leave, he wished to play this card discreetly. Once gone, Boogie explained, "I think we have a fair chance at vistory because we have developed a strong, yet flexible strategy to fight our enemy. Secondly, our side has high quality demons in its ranks who will prove to be a formidable force when fighting together..."
Boogie paused, and crept close to the door. He raised his staff and swung hard against the door. The demons listening in fell and fled in fear of being caught. Boogie resumed speaking, "And the strongest card we have to play against Baal is one of his own vassals. She was a former Overlord who recently regained her power and from what I hear was an important strategist. The two are currently not on good terms, which is why we have a third party negotiating an alliance with this Overlord to help crush Baal."
Boogie leaned against his staff, "My reasons for fighting? There are the more pragmatic reasons: Baal was responsible for the death of the great Krichevskoy, killing the demon who slew the previous Overlord would help cement the legitimacy of Laharl's reign. Also, the defeat of this invader is crucial to this Netherworld running its own affairs. Personally, I can't stand the vile demon. I prefer to be the power behind the throne rather than the walking bullseye, but even if Baal proved to be the victor I would refuse to serve him."
Boogie's brow furrowed, "Even if we were no match for the forces of Baal, we must still fight. Demons may be evil, wicked, and unscrupulous," Boogie clenched his fist, "But we also have pride."

"I hear you out" He looked at Pissaster and stated. "Yes, this type of order doesnt come in often but..." Shiva took a deep breath then contined "This overlord Baal seems to appear on the news and as well as certain rumors." "His power, able to crush a mountain with a touch, his army is vast and if Overlord Baal is their leader then..." Shiva took another deep breath and continued again "Life as we know it will be destroyed. Brute strength isnt the way to go we need a strategic stand point." "im afraid geo symbols how ever few we have must be used at this time." Shiva then closed her eyes for a second and then said "Please consider this in your judgement."

"Pride is one thing, stupidity is another." Eligio held his hand up towards his eye, looking it over by turning the hand a bit. " Even in the form of a metalic creature, I still know and understand a warriors honor. No, a demons honor, and how a true demon would never bow before an enemy. We backstab, cheat, steal...bribe." Eligio looked through the bill he had picked up, seeing the bribe that had been set for him. " Most of all, we have a tendency to be.....hasty."
"Tell me, what exactly is your 'strategy' for defeating the lord of terror, and how the geo symbols play a role in said strategy? Leave out not one detail of this plan, then we shall see on this bill of yours....."

The thought that one of these Senators may reveal the plan to Baal dawned upon him. On the other hand, he had to win the confidence of the Assmebly. Boogie took a deap breath, "Firstly, we've fortified the Castle. Improvised explosives have been set in the immediate area. We are exploiting the moat and steep cliffs to regulate the enemy forces."
Boogie continued, "As demonstrated in past battles, bottling up a much larger enemy often negates the advantage of superior numbers. Thus, we intend to hold the bridge which the enemy must cross to take the castle. By boosting the attack power of the defenders and weakening the defensive power of the invaders, we balance out the relative strength of their forces and ours. The damage dealing Symbol will aid in gradually sapping the life of enemies. There are demons with near inpenetrable defenses, but they are typically slow, lumbering brutes and so the Symbol will have more time to work on demons such as these."
Boogie added, "It is conceivable that the enemy may have the ability to keep pressing on more than we can push them back. In that event we will blast the bridge, cutting the Castle off from the foot soldiers. Using the Dimensional Gate, we then attack from behind."

Frankly, Pisaster was alredy leaning to aproval on this man's proposal. He did not care much for the practices of Overlord Baal. At times he even considered trying to enact sanctions against him. His carapace flexed slightly at the thought of potentialy aiding the efforts of Laharl's forces by trying to enact his own legislation specificly against Baal... but that would be unlikely to go obver well, as he was widely suspected of seeking such power fo himself, thought it was untrue.
He tented his fingers, smiled and noded, his moist hair falling forward into his face. THough it was a small change, it seemed as if he was in part droping his austire persona, opening up so to speak. "Time and test has proven that even with continual banes placed upon an encroaching hoard, it is often far to little to stem th flow..." he began. His voice was not so detached as usual, it was open, even sounding as though it might be giving friendly advice. "WIth this knowledge in mind, I must ask; WHy have you not requested auto-healing panels as well?"
THere was another point that was on his mind, and he drew his hair back behind his head, resuming his cold aperance. "Why exactly did you alone apear before the assembly?" this was bothering him... could it be that this man was possibly enginering his own campaign against Baal, under the guise of Laharls? "WHy does the Pince not before us him self?"

"The thought of requesting the auto-heal Symbols has crossed my mind, but I did not wish to press the generousity of the Assembly too far," Boogie responded, "Also, because the engagement is intended to be limited to the bridge, part of our strategy is to circulate fresh troops to hold the bridge while those battle weary get patched up enough to keep fighting on. Besides, the medics may kill me if they are deprived of their fun."
Boogie's brow furrowed as he looked for the best answer, "Though I hope to keep Laharl as fresh as possible for the fight with Baal, his presence is vital for his vassals keeping their resolve."
Boogie paused, "Also, Laharl's diplomatic skills need to be... polished, yes polished. That is the most I can say to explain the situation short of gossiping about the next Overlord. He's probably the perfect leader for winning the war against Baal, but he'll need capable and loyal vassals for the peace. "

Gustave nodded to the others questions and observations, he himself listened well. Well it seems you have everything all ready, your right about the auto heal symbols, it would press our generosity as I speak for most of the Assembly. he said. Lets hope that his vassals do remain loyal. he said giving off a slight glare in Boogies direction.
I for one am for your bill, lets just hope you do a good job like you "say" you are he said with a sly smile.

Boogie bowed to Gustave, "Thank you for your support."
Boogie smiled, he had the favor of one major Senator. He scanned the remaining Senators, eagerly anticipating the votes of the others. Whatever reasons they had, he was confident that the others, most of them anyway, would vote in his favor.

Shiva then had one final comment as she raised her hand she stated "Ill vote in your favor on one condition..." She combed her hair with her fingers "If you promise to not let the geopanels get used against us. Then I will vote in your favor."

Gustave nodded to Shiva's statement. I'm sure the boy wont be foolish enough to take on the Assembly, let alone us for that matter ahahaha he said smiling. He after all, was in work longer than some senators. After all we are the ones who can grant him, or anyone such request, we can easily change our decision he said.
