Chapter 372 - Towers (1/2)

Wallace has no idea what happened inside the Conqueror Starship.

However, he can already see that the Empire is not planning to attack the Seiji's Alliance soldiers.

They have certainly made a deal with the natives… It's not an action that the Empire would do but perhaps Ace's actions in outer space triggered them to agree with Seiji's offer.

Anyway, they wouldn't lose out on such an offer… They can even lessen their attackers and establish their stronghold easily.

He looked at the Grand Sage's entourage as they returned to the floating airship…

The soldiers on the ground were silent, as they await their announcement.

Then, after a few seconds, a yellow flare was lit up in the sky. It is a signal that confirms the success of their negotiation and to halt any aggressive actions for now…

”What?! That signal…”

”What's going on? There's a negotiation for non-aggression?”

”This… They killed a lot of people!”

”My home town… T-they destroyed my hometown and killed all of my relatives!”

”Why are we negotiating! We can definitely defeat them with our numbers!”

”Argh! This is frustrating!”

The soldiers that are unaware of the plans of the Council expressed their dissatisfaction about their decision.

Zephon heard them while he's on his horse but he couldn't do anything about it. This has been decided by the leaders of the four countries in the alliance.

The State of Kazan may have been the one that suffered most but at the very least, the destruction and massacre would no longer happen.

He knows that their forces right now are really strong… However, he also knows that many of them would die here if they insist to continue with the war...

'But the question is how long this would last…'

Zephon thought.

It may be true that the aliens have agreed with their non-aggression pact, alliance,  or whatever their deal was, but it doesn't mean that it would last forever…

'Haa~ Perhaps if all the nations have allied, we could've overpowered these aliens and we wouldn't have to resort to this negotiation… What in the world are they planning now?'

The general pondered as he looked at the golden airship…

Then he heard sounds of engines being activated. It created a rumbling sound the seems to be echoing all over the place…

Zephon wasn't surprised about their sudden appearance…

The country of Seiji changed one of its cities into a Steel Knight Factory.  Perhaps they have the most number of Steel Knights in all the countries combined.

He can still recall that as soon as the Molten Core was invented, the leaders of the country didn't hesitate to start a massive hunt with the Fire Mana Beasts everywhere…

They have also created a lot of Steel Knights designs and improved them to the best of their abilities before mass producing them.

The only problem was their method of transportation… It was a bit difficult to bring them from Seiji to Kazan since they have to cross the sea…

The airsh.i.p.s were not that suited as a mode of transportation since the Steel Knights were too heavy… Perhaps only three or four can be carried if they forced it.

This is why they made adjustments to some Steel Knights that could tread water.

These are the Steel Knights that they are seeing right now. They used magic to arrive here almost undetected to join the war…

However, since the negotiation was successful there was no longer any point in hiding and started moving away.

”We'll follow the Grand Sage's decision. Let's head back for now. I will confirm the details of the negotiation and fill you in with the details after.”

Zephon said to his vice-generals as they ordered them to retreat.

He can only hope that this won't end badly for them.

Julian, the strongest magician of Montego, had a foreboding feeling since a while ago…

He entered the core room of his Mage Tower and bathed with mana at the highest purity he could ever know…

This place is also the control room of the Tower and with the help of the glowing stone at the center of the room, he could cast a powerful Mana Spell within five kilometers of the tower.

It was such an incredible creation that no other country could perhaps fight them as long as they are within the protection of their Tower…
