Chapter 42: The Siege of the Council (I)
When Yang Bai walked into the conference hall, there were already many people seated here, many of whom had some familiar faces.
Giant Sword Saint Forrest Gump, Swordsman Mentor G.S.D., Sorcerers Guild President Shalan, Wind Fist Runner Hall Master Feng Zhen, Templar Knights Golantis.
In addition to these familiar faces, there are also some NPCs that Yang Bai knows in the game.
Roger the President of the Merchant Guild, Kelly the Celestial Man, Paris the Sewer Princess, the Legion Leader of the Delos Empire, the Short Sword Saint Barn, and the Deputy Legion Leader Hyde. Bourne. Kruger et al......
In addition, there are some people who look like officials of the Duchy of Belmar or officials of other countries, and there are some famous power leaders, but Yang Bai is not familiar with them.
It can be said that almost half of the Arad continent has gathered all the influential people in this place, and the decisions reached by these people are definitely the lifeblood that can change the world.
At this time, seeing Yang Bai's arrival, many people who knew him greeted him one after another.
"You're here......" Forrest Gump cherished his words like gold, but still greeted Yang Bai, his face looked much better than before, and he had obviously solved the problem of Lotus's mental interference.
"Brother Yang Bai, sit here." Sharan said with a smile.
The rest of the people who didn't know Yang Bai also set their eyes on him, which was quite scrutinizing.
"Your Excellency's aura is very strong, it stands to reason that with your strength, it is impossible to be unknown." Just then, Barn spoke.
"I'm from Wuling." Yang Bai came up with the best excuse again.
Only then did everyone understand that it was no wonder that they didn't know Yang Bai.
Sitting down beside Shalan, seeing that there was still some time before ten o'clock, Yang Bai whispered, "President Shalan, can you help me introduce me?" ”
"Hehe, of course there is no problem." Sharan pursed her lips and smiled, then began to introduce them one by one.
Yang Bai's guess was right, there were three major forces involved in the battle of Rotes this time, namely the Duchy of Belmar, the Delos Empire, and the Adventurer Alliance. Among them, the Duchy of Belmar and the Delos Empire are almost the two most powerful countries in the Arad continent, and the influence of the Adventurer Alliance is needless to say.
These three forces were in dire straits, because the three councillors of the Duchy of Belmar had already overthrown the royal family, so the revolutionary army in the Alliance of Adventurers had been preparing to seize power over the Duchy of Belmar.
And there is not harmony between the Duchy of Belmar and the Delos Empire, they have had minor frictions over the years, and the Delos Empire has always coveted the rich land of the Duchy of Belmar.
But this time the threat of Lotus is self-evident, and a bombshell news that can only circulate from within has brought these three forces, which were impossible to unite together, to a council chamber.
"The Heavenly Veil Behemoth may not be able to hold on...... If it falls into the sea, it will inevitably pose a huge threat to the Arad continent, especially the Duchy of Belmar and the Delos Empire. Shalan whispered to Yang Bai.
Yang Bai nodded, where Lotus was really powerful was not mind control at all, he was the Deep Sea Emperor among the Apostles. In the sea, none of the other apostles was its opponent unless Karn, the head of the apostles.
If Rotes really fell into the sea, it would be terrifying.
However, Yang Bai didn't say that Lotus is actually a house octopus, and even if it falls into the sea, it probably won't take the initiative to attack others, but will anyone listen to these words?
Lotus is too strong, and its very existence is a huge threat, so it must be eliminated.
Yang Bai was thinking about this, and the minute hand of the clock on the wall pointed to the direction of twelve o'clock at some point, and the last group of people walked into the council hall.
Among them were Caracas and the vice-president of the League of Adventurers, Dana. Donat, as well as Scardy, Queen of the Principality of Belmar, and the three councillors who really hold the power of the Principality of Belmar.
Seated on the throne, Queen Skady looked slightly tired, flanked by the three councillors and Karacas.
"It's a pleasure for you to be here today to participate in the Rhodes Storming Council, and now I declare this Council officially open." Standing behind Caracas, Dana. Donat said in a loud voice.
"As for the apostles, I think everyone knows very well, and they are a threat to our Arad continent, naturally I don't need to say more. And this time we need to deal with the target of the 'Eighth Apostle. Long-legged Lotus '......" stood up, and it was Caracas who spoke first.
"This time, with Ophelia's help, we finally understand the situation inside the Celestial Veil Behemoth, which is why I have gathered everyone here......"
Caracas began to describe the reasons why it was necessary to attack Lotus, as well as the pros and cons of this battle, etc., and gradually some people began to oppose and some expressed support, but Yang Bai never expressed an opinion.
First of all, although his strength is sufficient, with his current prestige and status, he is indeed not qualified to participate in the discussion.
Second, he believes that no matter how these people discuss, the answers they get may not be much different.
There are two main contradictions in the council, one is that the three councillors of the Duchy of Belmar do not want to exert too much effort in this battle, they are more concerned about how to accumulate wealth and how to strengthen the rule, although the apostles must be eliminated, but this matter seems to be easy to thankless.
However, although the three of them were single-handedly covering the sky in the Principality of Belmar, under the pressure of both sides of the Venture Alliance and the Delos Empire, they finally had to compromise and express their opinions to help with all their might.
The second thing is that the resources are allocated after the battle, will it be beneficial to kill the Apostle?
The answer is yes, the apostles, as a conglomeration of energy and an existence comparable to a natural calamity, every part of their body is valuable.
Since everyone present wanted to contribute, they naturally wanted to be rewarded, and there was much more discussion about this matter than before, and the three parties had to confront each other for several hours before they came up with a relatively fair proposal.
Just when Yang Bai thought that the meeting was about to end, and he was going to be a salted fish like this, he didn't expect Karakas to mention his name.
"Let me talk about a person below, his name is Yang Bai, from Wuling." As he spoke, Karakas looked at Yang Bai.
Following his gaze, everyone also focused their eyes on Yang Bai, not knowing what Karakas was going to say.
"In our plan this time, Mr. Yang Bai has accomplished a pivotal thing. As I said earlier, creating a jamming launcher requires magic iron, and that piece of magic iron was obtained by Yang Bai after defeating the Heavenly Expulsor. With a smile on his face, Karakas said.
The matter of getting the Magic Iron itself is not worth bringing up in the council, but Karakas is clearly trying to build momentum for Yang Bai, as he highlights that Yang Bai defeated the Heavenly Destroyer.
"What?!"
"He defeated the Celestial Destroyer?"
All of a sudden, all those who knew the strength of the Heavenly Destroyer turned their eyes to Yang Bai, and their eyes were no longer the previous ignorance, but as if they wanted to remember Yang Bai completely.
And those who didn't understand, after others explained, also showed shocked expressions.
