Regardless, the plan of the Fallen Warrior was still executed.
The reason is simple: high cost-effectiveness and strong executability.
With just a small team carrying instruments and conditions, they can find the Warrior and start the "persuasion."
Once persuaded successfully, they can directly or indirectly guide a city's future.... That persuasion team can completely turn into a beheading squad to help the "Fallen Warrior" remove some obstacles, like a lord, city lord, or village chief.
Moreover, under the operation of Fei'er and Catherine, they soon developed a simple and efficient operational method.
"Step one, inform them that the identity of the Warrior is merely that of a puppet... how about showing them films or videos?"
Though it sounds a bit far-fetched, a classic trick of deception is to first shatter the other's values and worldview, making them doubt the world and themselves.
There's plenty of evidence, including firsthand accounts from renowned Warriors.
