Where does conspiracy most commonly appear?
Looking through history, conspiracy has always surfaced when the enemy is strong while we are weak, when they are many while we are few, or when they are concealed while we are exposed. It is only when one lacks the necessary power that so-called underhanded tricks are employed.

What's more, the command for fostering alliances was just issued recently; this matter could never have been done by our people."
