Chapter 837: Vol V Chapter 197

In the end, there was no agreement to where this batch of trainees should go.

The various forces were arguing endlessly, and the big boss, Sui Xiong, had no conclusion. Naturally, the argument would fetch no result.

Sui Xiong also could not be bothered to engage in such a pointless argument any further. He merely told them to slowly discuss things, and then he returned to his God Kingdom to continue the training.

Yes, that training ground was not even on Earth. It was within his God Kingdom.

This was not for the sake of secrecy, just purely to save trouble. There was a lot of messy designs in that training ground. It would be quite a chore if he wished to get everything out in reality. But if he were to build it in his own God Kingdom, he would have the power to change everything at his own will. This was much more convenient.

As the days passed, new armies of the various countries were gradually taking shape. And the situation within the Commonwealth of Gold Coins between the northern and southern sides was increasingly intense. It seemed like a storm was brewing.

This time, the aristocratic party was no longer the one with the upper hand, and the merchant party was no longer the side that had to back down. The situation was reversed.

Other than its seven ace troops consisting of its New First Army to its New Seventh Army, the merchant party also trained more than 20 new armies after it adopted their style of training. The original seven ace troops were combined to form what was called the New First Army Corps. Those that were trained later were called the New Second Army Corps, New Third Army Corps and New Fourth Army Corps.

The combat power of the Second, Third and Fourth Army Corps were naturally not up to the standard of the First Army Corps, but they were truly elite troops that were capable of “daring to fight” and “able to fight.” The Fifth Army of the First Army Corps could win a bloody battle even if it was in a disadvantageous situation. Even though they were not so skilled fighters, at least when they were in a situation where there was a balance in power, they could still fight a normal battle.

With these four Army Corps, the merchant party naturally gained confidence. With enough confidence, they were much stronger when they had to face the aristocratic party.

Over the years, there had been much friction between the two parties of the Commonwealth of Gold Coins. From time to time, there would be occurrences of conflicts. In the past, the merchant party would always tolerate with everything they could put up with and tried their best to make big matters small and small matters trivial. But now, with the four major Army Corps to fall back on, the merchant party certainly would not make any further concessions.

Not only would they not yield an inch, they were going to turn the tables and force the aristocratic party to yield to them!

In terms of reason, there was nothing wrong with that. It was the unalterable truth that the strong would prevail and the weak would give way. But the aristocratic party had been used to always being the side with the upper hand. Some time ago, it had not gained any advantage and because of that, the aristocrats’ hearts were already burning in a nest of flames. And now, the merchant party had to turn things around and demand the concession of the aristocratic party—this was truly something that was really unbearable!

This time, even the few great aristocrats who originally wanted peace could not take things lying down. The supreme council that was made up of 16 great aristocrats quickly passed the resolution of “giving the merchants a taste of our power.” What followed next was nothing more than carrying out more joint meetings among the aristocrats to discuss exactly how they should go about giving this “taste of their power” as well as to what degree of power should they exert upon the merchant party.

When the number of people increased, naturally secrets would no longer be secrets. Moreover, the aristocratic party had no intention of keeping this matter as a secret. The aristocratic party had the intention of launching an attack on the merchant party within the next few days, and the news of all aristocrats being summoned to the capital to attend a major meeting for all aristocrats was spread.

Naturally, this news would reach the ears of the merchant party as well.
