Chapter 324: The Power of Premium (2/2)
”An alliance that is equal, without differentiating between strong and weak?”
w.a.n.g Lu said, ”It’s like the eastern city-states—by joining forces to form a parliament to command the overall situation. The forces are represented as parliament members, which together discuss and make major strategic decisions. Each city has a high degree of autonomy. There is no absolute ruler in the alliance, and the interest of all parties will be fully respected. For you guys, these should be extremely generous conditions right?”
”Of course!” The magician’s voice slightly trembled. ”But why?”
”Why would you ask something that you already know the answer to? Of course it’s because your value at this point is at its highest.” w.a.n.g Lu very calmly said, ”Whether Knight King or the Holy Light Religion, all want to enlist your support. For this, the Knight King is willing to show her generosity. Of course, don’t think that this is due to our lack of confidence. Don’t forget that the Knight King has the Caliburn, the royal power proof in Brettonia, but also a tool that is blessed with ‘triumphing in every battle’. I don’t need to tell you that more than one hundred years ago, the Knight King, armed with Caliburn, created a miracle. Compared to the previous king’s situation, this time’s difficult situation is actually nothing.”
”That’s… true…”
Seeing that the two people were already somewhat moved, w.a.n.g Lu immediately followed with, ”Incidentally, the Knight King has already been working together with the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals of Nine Regions; you should understand this if you follow the recent events on the east.”
”The Union of Ten Thousand Immortals of Nine Regions?”
”Don’t be surprised, the exchange between east and west has been increasingly frequent and the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals also need an ally in this land. In fact, I am the representative of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals, sent here to the Knight King’s side to help her rebuild her home country.”
”So that’s why…”
”In addition, we have already obtained the support from Meteorite Mercenary Corps, Falling Goose City, Silverstone Fortress and other forces. Coupled with the available soldier of Dragon City Guards, the forces have already begun to take shape.”
”Is this true?” The great knight’s eyes were s.h.i.+ning and his voice trembled.
It was not until this time that he was really shocked. Meteorite Mercenary Corps, Falling Goose City, and Silverstone Fortress were all first cla.s.s forces in Brettonia. Have they really joined Dragon City?
”If you don’t believe me, you can ask them yourself. In short, are you in or are you out? This is now or never.”
After a moment of silence, the great knight’s eyes shone and said with a sinking sound, ”If her majesty the Knight King really has such intentions, then I, on behalf of Riddle City, can pledge that we are willing to join the alliance. I hope we can work together to build a beautiful and powerful country.”
After a long time, the magician also nodded. ”Then, I will go beyond that. After having seen your sincerity, on behalf of Blue Tile City, we will not let her majesty the Knight King be disappointed.”
w.a.n.g Lu said with a smile, ”Great. As for the specifics, please return back to your respective city and report you city master. By the way, the Holy Light Religion at this time doesn’t know that we have made an alliance, so I hope that at the appointed time, you guys can cooperate…”
—
And just a moment later, at another camp outside Dragon City. The head tent of the Meteorite Mercenary Corps, welcomed in an uninvited guest.
”Mr. Commander, do you know about Dragon City?”
…
”Yes, Riddle City and Blue Tile City have joined the alliance, the next is on you.”
…
”Mm, at the moment, the Holy Light Religion doesn’t know about all this, so I’ll need your help later.”
A moment later, the head of Silverstone Fortress, General Vaka, also heard a similar story.
”General, do you know about Dragon City?”
…
”That’s right, Meteorite Mercenary Corps, Riddle City, and Blue Tile City have joined the alliance, so we are just waiting for your decision!”
…
”Yes, next we need your cooperation, the Holy Light Religion doesn’t know about our talk yet.”
...
That same night, a lot of similar scenes happened. w.a.n.g Lu worked tirelessly to talk with more than fifty parties outside Dragon City all night long and won the support from a large number of independent force through generous conditions. When five days later, the Bloodl.u.s.t Holy Knight expeditionary force appeared outside Dragon City, they were unaware that the wild dogs have become the hidden minions of the hungry wolf.
And they, themselves, would be buried in the belly of the wolf.
