26 The Yamato Shogunates Plan (1/2)

Inside the large dome was a large stadium-like auditorium with thousands upon thousands of seats filled with foreign dignitaries. In the centre of the stadium was a large circular table with what seemed to be about 20-something seats.

These seats were different from the other seats in the stadium and quite a few regalia were surrounding the chairs in the middle of this stadium, showing these chairs were seats meant to be taken by people of extreme importance.

As Windsor and the other two who were following him entered the stadium, the head servant who was leading them announced their entry, ”Introducing his highness Prince Albion Windsor, The Fifth Prince of Greenwich.”

As soon as Windsor was announced the clatter and the noise within the auditorium that was nearly filled to the brim instantly dimmed down to silence. It was so quiet one could even hear the sound of a pin drop. Albion himself was famous across the entire Western Continent; one could even say the entire world, due to a certain incident that had happened when he was younger.

Normally someone of his age wouldn't be of importance in such a meeting but knowing his own place, Albion took Angus and Siren and walked straight to the large circular table in the middle of the auditorium, he took one of the seats and sat down while Angus and Siren stood behind him. No one else had sat by the table yet but almost all the other seats had been taken.

As time went on other important characters started coming in late filling up the seats at the important table bit by bit, until all twenty four seats had been filled. The moment that happened, the entire stadium became quiet once more.

Although it was meeting for thousands of dignitaries, the other thousands were merely a decoration, it was these twenty four who truly had the right to talk. Each of the twenty four had people standing behind them and each of them was a person whose name resounded throughout the western continent with a force that should not be underestimated. Each of these people had a reputation no lower than Albion's, each of these people were proud people, powerful people, people with experience in such matters, people with an agenda and people representing their own nations.

The western continent was divided into six major nations; one Nation was the Gutu Empire, the Gutu Empire was isolated and kept to itself, thus the other five nations united together to form the Western Alliance. These Nations were the Qin Empire, the Vajra Empire, the United States, the Greenwich Kingdom and the Yamato Shogunate. These five nations made up the Western Alliance and it was these five that decided how everything was supposed to occur. There were many other minor nations that existed within the Western Continent but they were not worthy to be represented at this table. Each and every minor nation was definitely subject to the control of on these five nations. In other words each and every nation that wasn't a part of these five was a colonial nation at best.

One of those who were sitting at the table, one of the supreme dignitaries, stood up and raised his hands, ”My friends, I welcome you to this meeting that is going to decide the fate of our Western Continent. We may not be the most important people in the whole continent but we have been placed in the front lines of a war that will determine the fate of our continent. Please, I ask you to put down your pride and humble yourselves as we try to look for a way forward despite all of our differences. Many of us have warred with each other but now we face a greater enemy, The Gut Empire.”

As soon as the man stopped talking, every face within the stadium turned grim.

The Gutu Empire had been standing as a behemoth for thousands upon thousands of years but everyone knew that this current generation was the strongest ever recorded in history. Luckily for the other five countries their current generation was also the strongest that had ever been recorded in history; thus they decided to strike whilst the iron was hot.

The Gutu Empire had no intention of mixing with other countries; in fact it had no intention of invading other countries or expanding its borders. It was perfectly happy with what it had, however due to certain underlying currents and extenuating circumstance the other five nations felt forced to invade the Gutu Empire; thus this Great War had begun. Although to the Gutu Empire it was nothing more than a small scuffle breaking out, as they had so much pride that they didn't even believe the other countries were qualified to have a war with them. To them this was no different to a minor scrimmage that would disappear with the sands of time.

The first person who had spoken was a white-haired middle aged man. His face was filled with wrinkles of experience and his eyes were deep, pulling in one's attention. He was a well-known traveller and he had no nation that he stood for. This was the main reason he had been chosen to be the main speaker and mediator for this meeting. His name was Anglius and he was only known as old man Anglius. He had no last name, he had no house but people knew that this man was one of the most powerful majors who had ever existed.
