Chapter 370 - Another (2/2)
As soon as the two aliens floated about 50 meters away from the airship, Minexis waved his hand and started to speak. His voice was amplified so it can be heard even if they're still at such distance.
”We would like to settle this without having too many deaths on both sides… I would like to know the purpose of your visit to our island…”
The Grand Sage said. He didn't want to say too much since he's still quite unsure whether the alien can actually understand him.
He waited for a response but the golden-skinned race was just standing still on their floating piece of metal.
Minexis looked at his side to see whether they have a suggestion…
”Try to keep talking for now…”
”They might be hesitating whether to tell you their reason here”
”Very well…”
The old man then continued with his talk…
”There is a high chance that you wanted to take over this planet. I know that you are all very powerful… However, you should know that there is no way you can conquer this planet with only your number… You are strong but so as we… If you considered negotiating with us, we might be able to help you on your conquest…”
Minexis looked at the expression of the aliens but nothing seemed to have changed. He can't read them at all.
'Haa~ It seems that they're not capable of understanding our language… However, the Arians seem to be capable of it… Did they teach them beforehand? Or perhaps those aliens are fake?'
The old man is getting impatient at the inactions of these golden aliens…
He looked at the armored soldiers watching from the spacesh.i.p.s and they seemed to be waiting for something…
In the end, he can only continue with his speech as he laid out the benefits of allying with them…
Even Wallace, who's watching everything secretly, commended the patience of the Grand Sage…
Nevertheless, his tolerance paid off as the alien decided to wave his hand gesturing his intent to be followed!
The aliens floated away as they seem to be returning to the Conqueror Starship…
Minexis and the other Grand Sage and Grand Arcanists were quite shocked at this...
They did it! It seems that there will be a piece of good news sooner or later.
”Eralles, you stay here and wait for us…”
Then, he looked at the two Grand Arcanists… They were both unafraid of going with him but Minexis decided to just bring one of them and took three of their finest Sages.
He still wanted to prepare in case they needed to run away… He knows that his survivability would increase if he's with the Sages since they are all willing to sacrifice their lives as long as he could live.
He used his floating spell to everyone and brought them with him as they followed the alien race…
He then glanced at Zephon, the general of the main army, and signaled to him to stay put but remain on guard…
Once he entered the spaceship together with the aliens, he wouldn't be able to control whatever would happen on the outside…
Nevertheless, it appears that communication with the aliens is possible… Even if they couldn't fully understand what he said, perhaps his message got through them…
He held his amulet or his Mana Artifact tightly as they reached the Starship…
Hom~
The invisible barrier was removed and a path going inside was opened for them. The entrance appears to be a tunnel.
Seeing that there's a light at the other end, Manexis felt a bit excited as he wanted to see the internal structure of the spaceship.
***
Wallace saw the Grand Sage with his entourage enter the spaceship… He couldn't read the Empire's actions now since they have perhaps acknowledged the threat of the Magicians together with the missing spaceship that fought them in outer space.
This may be the reason why they have decided to approach this planet differently from what they have planned before.
He wanted to wait and see what will happen before he would attack in full force but unfortunately, Avalon sounded its alarm!
[ The Black Sovereign with suspected Cube of Paradox is showing signs of descending on the planet. ]
”What?! Why now? Where is it headed?”
[ Montego. ]
”Tsk… It's too far from here...”
Just like what Wallace feared, the spacesh.i.p.s of the Empire seem to be planning to descend in different regions of the world…
This is extremely bad for them since the forces of each country would be divided.
