Chapter 401 Playing Dirty

”Hold on a rant our support in tiive out our entire armies in case a war breaks out!” Said one of the Leaders of one of the mid-level factions which had been invited to the One Above All coed by the ht Hoe protect our territory like that?”

When the peace treaty had been signed, the universal government had made sure that, in case a new faction was discovered in the depths of space, the other groups would have to give their support in subduing it However, until now, that had only meant that a small portion of their warriors would be sent to join the arovernment

This time, on the other hand, from the way the man in royal clothes had phrased it, it seeovernment wanted a different kind of support A total one, which required for every high iroup

If a war really broke out, this wouldtheir massive territories to the care of individuals at the same level of the participants of the event Kids, or untalented individuals who hardly had any experience in ruling over massive territories

For any respectable leader, this request was out of line for a simple reason All of these factions had, at soained a good amount of enemies for themselves and the people that followed them

That meant that, in case a war really broke out, these massive territories would fall into chaos while their owners would be forced away, to fight a war that would ultiovern about” Responded the old ain silence He then added, ”We are talking about a civilization so powerful, that it can afford to send scouts that would roup of explorers, as well as a battalion of the ar I have seen this myself, I was there!”

For the first time, the news of how the first encounter between the two civilizations had gone, had been revealed, coreat surprise to the observers Everyone kneerful the arle battalion was able to destroy a small scaled faction in a h, the power of eachup the lack in organization, with their individual prowess and resourcefulness To think that a scouting group had been able to face this line up, was truly shocking

”I understand the gravity of the matter, but we still cannot empty our territories How can we protect them in case of an attack?” Asked one of the observers

”You won't For reasons of which you are already aware of, the power of the Judges is not useful for military situations This means that, in the eventuality that a war breaks out, for as long as it will go on, the judges will take care of every dispute between factions” Responded the old ly aware of what the purpose of this banquet was, the man in purple robes which had previously sat at Daniel's table stood up fron of Corruption offers to eh corrupted, and ten thousand more in case of necessity”

”The Spiritual Emperor offers fifteen thousand spiritual warriors” said the man in white clothes as soon as the herald of corruption finished speaking

After the two finished, every representative of abehind these offers was clear While weaker than the universal government, they were still too powerful to be pushed around

As the last of these dozen individuals finished speaking, the man in royal clothes turned to look at the Teacher, then while showing clear disinterest towards the words of the other cultivators, he asked, ”What about Iewah's faction?”

Ro behind this banquet Contrary to what the representatives of the other et of this event were not their groups, but the members of Iewah's faction who had the kind of power that allowed them to produce oddly powerful warriors

Without hiding his smile, the Teacher looked back at the ht know, Sir, overnoverns”

In a general sense, the behaviour of Iewah towards the universal government could be summed up with a word That word, was indifference Not one ti decisions for his own faction He would siive orders whenever he wanted

Even the wars fought for the expansion of his territory were not fought by his orders, but by his oldest children's decision, who after seeing their father's disinterest towards the newly discovered planets, systealaxies, had decided to act on their own

Unfortunately, contrary to when Ieould give one of his rare assignments, his children would only act based on whimsical decisions, and that was the reason why they were considered unreliable That meant that, in order to be sure that in case a war broke out the government would receive the help of Iewah's powerful children, the government needed Iewah's word

”I am afraid that you will have to bother him, this time” Responded the man in Royal clothes, clearly unhappy about Iewah's usual indifferent behaviour ”I want a promise of cooperation from him, just like any other member of the universal faction”

Already aware that this important man would not concede, Romah, as the only member of Iewah's children as personally here, was left with no other choice but to nod in agreele person had minded Daniel's presence The reason for that was the fact that Daniel was a relatively new member of Iewah's faction, and that when compared to factions that were counted in the tens of thousands, his group's overall power could not cos of unhappiness of the leaders of roups, no one dared to oppose the words of thewhat he wanted, sat back and ignored the guests

To speak next was the old e double door at the far end of the room, he said, ”You may continue to interact with one another, or retire for the night in one of the suites we have prepared for your The co”

As he finished speaking, he, along with the are, and the e roouests alone

Daniel did not wish to stay either, so he decided to retire for the night with his co cultivator in his forties approached him, and said, ”Mister Sewah, a moment, please”
