Chapter 198: Six-Party Alliance (5)

Imperial Capital, Fernando Palace, Royal Ballroom.

Ryan sat on the chair, slowly looking at the copy of the covenant in his hand, while listening to the representative from the imperial capital read aloud the six-party alliance that had been drawn up after almost 20 days of consultation, in fact, these covenants had already been repeatedly negotiated by the representatives of the six parties, and now the representatives of the imperial capital were reading it out in public, which was nothing more than a kind of ritual.

Of course, Ryan is not the only one who is qualified to sit here, since it is the Six-Party Alliance, it naturally includes the heads of different regions and their assistants, adding up to more than 500 people, as well as spectators from all over the mainland, such as representatives of long-established families, etc., fortunately, the Royal Banquet Hall is large enough to put everything on the table, and the most eye-catching of them is the round table in the center of the hall, where the covenant of the Six-Party Alliance will soon be signed.

The entire model of the covenant is hundreds of pages, which details the responsibilities and obligations of the various forces involved in this new alliance. A copy of the dwarven language, and at the same time stipulates that if there is a verbal doubt, everything is based on the text written in the human language of the continental lingua franca, which also explains the leading position of humanity in the entire covenant in disguise, and it is no wonder that Freya wants to make a six-party alliance in every possible way to disperse the power of the human race.

Under the terms of this thick covenant, the participants of the Six-Party Alliance will abandon their prejudices, stick together, and share each other's strengths to a limited extent. For example, what dwarves are best at is their craft, so after joining a new alliance, they will unconditionally share their ancestral secrets of crafting weapons and armor with elves and humans, in order to maximize the combat effectiveness of the entire alliance members. Of course, the sharing of craftsmanship here is only limited to ordinary standard equipment, and does not involve core craftsmanship, in other words, the dwarves still maintain enough advantages in this regard.

Another example is that the Royal Knights of mankind are recognized as the most powerful army on this continent, and they still have an undefeated record until now, of course, because the main force of the Royal Knights is all holy knights blessed by the gods and have incredible strength, but the training of the trainee knights of the Royal Knights is also a very important part. Therefore, after forming allies, Orlando took out the entire system of training trainee knights of the Royal Knights for everyone's reference for free, and even trained several batches of qualified trainee holy knights for other allies. These apprentice holy knights are absolutely no different from the new blood trained by the Royal Knights themselves in terms of physical strength and martial arts, but as for their ability to receive the blessing of the Lord God of Light and thus obtain that incredible power, it has nothing to do with General Orlando. As for some of the rules set by the 200-year-old Fernando king, they have been selectively ignored, after all, the imperial capital is not facing a civil war of mankind, but a common enemy of the entire continent, and it is always a good thing that the strength of the allies can be stronger.

In the same way, Cassano and other forces have their own obligations and rights that they can enjoy, such as the Imperial Capital, Iron Fist Castle, Mochizuki City, The magic exchange between the respective magic guilds in Demon Moon City, such as the exchange of magic master-level teachers, the exchange of magic apprentices to learn the essence of other magic guilds, etc., as for the free heaven without magic guilds, you don't have to worry that you will suffer, because the imperial capital and other magic guilds will send people to help them establish their own magic guilds and magic academies, etc., in short, all of these things are listed in a memo with a detailed enough time schedule so that they can be implemented and completed as soon as possible.

Of course, the most critical points are also written in the covenant, that is, the command of the army, the coordination and distribution of materials, and the handling of internal affairs of the alliance. According to Freya's assumption, the 5 parties in the Six-Party Alliance that are not in the imperial capital each have 1 vote, and the imperial capital has only 2 votes, so that a total of seven votes will be decided when the final result is decided, of course, there is a supplementary provision in the last article of this block, that is, each ally has an equal status in the alliance, there is no subordinate relationship with each other, and other allies have no right to intervene in the internal affairs of the allies' territories.

Judging from the distribution of votes alone, the imperial capital seems to have a great advantage, but in fact it is not the case. On the one hand, in the entire covenant, the imperial capital occupies more than half of the entire six-party alliance in terms of population, troops, materials, etc., and naturally has to bear more things when fighting against the evil forces, so it is also appropriate to have more power, and on the other hand, from a private point of view, Mochizuki City, Free Heaven and other southern forces have faint signs of grouping, even if the emperor has 2 votes, as long as the elves are on the side of Mochizuki City and Freedom Heaven, then the dwarves will usually choose to support the elves, so even if Ryan abstains, the southern forces also have the means to suppress the imperial capital legally, of course, only legally.

"Okay, that's all for the whole covenant, if you have no objections, then you can sign it and take effect!" The representative from the imperial capital finally finished reading the entire covenant after spending three hours, his face was full of excitement, although he talked for three hours, but he knew that he had witnessed an extremely great scene in human history, and had the honor of leaving an insignificant name on this page of history, which was enough for him.

"No objection!" Ryan was the first to raise his hand to speak.

"I agree!"

"It's time to sign!"

Now that everyone had passed the covenant, the signing ceremony began as a matter of course, and Ryan and the others, under the guidance of the master of ceremonies, walked to the huge round table that had been prepared in the center of the royal banquet hall and sat down according to the pre-arranged positions. Soon, the accompanying assistant came over with a thick copy of the covenant, and spread out the six identical covenants in front of the signatory, and prepared a special royal ink.

Ryan smiled slightly, was the first to pick up the quill, and quickly signed his name on the contract according to the deputy's instructions, and then waited for the next contract to be signed...... After a few moments, all the contracts were filled with six names: Faras, the archon representing the imperial capital, Ryan, the overlord of Cassano, Clifford, the archmage of Mochizuki City, Kilaviv, the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce on behalf of the Free Paradise, Her Majesty Freya, the queen of the Elven Moon, and Reynolds, the dwarven king representing the dwarven realm.

"Come, let's toast to the creation of a new covenant!" At the initiative of the master of ceremonies, the above six people stood together, and as the six most powerful people in the Eslar continent, they raised the crystal glass in their hands together, and then drank the best Bordeaux wine filled inside, which caused warm applause from everyone present, and also meant that from this moment on, all races and all forces on the continent were truly united.

――――――*――――――*―――――― Just when the Six Parties Alliance was signing, the abyss in the center of the earth, the mansion of the half-demon lord Kuze.

"Bang!"

A half-demon butler was punched away, but he didn't dare to resist after falling to the ground, but he was even more docile and prostrate on the ground, and said in a loud voice: "I'm really sorry, but Lord Kuze is really not in the mansion!" This half-demon butler has always had the title of butcher in the territory of Lord Kuze, but when facing the envoy from the Demon Prince, he is even more well-behaved than the most docile underground dwarf.

"Bastard!" said the envoy of the Demon Prince, "Leaving the mansion at this time, does he dare to disobey the Prince's orders?"

"Don't dare, don't dare!" explained the half-demon butler desperately, revealing everything about his master.

"Oh? You said Kuze had found a way to other planes? Is that true? Do you know what it would mean to deceive me? I don't mind having one more piece of leather in my private collection. The Demon Prince's envoy sat down in his chair and said softly to the half-demon butler who was prostrate at his feet.

"My lord, why bother talking nonsense with them, why don't you kill them all and reappoint a new lord, anyway, with my brother's strength, even if I slaughter the entire city, it will only take a few hours. The guard beside the Demon Prince's envoy said excitedly.

"No, Kuze is still more trusted by the Prince, and his mother is the Prince's favorite woman. The Demon Prince's envoy said, "Besides, if he can really find a passage to other planes, it will be very good for expanding the realm of our demons, after all, after seven wars, the armies of the Heristl Lord, the Eye Demon Tyrant and the Spirit Sucking Monster Mastermind have stopped our expansion, and every step forward will cost a huge price." ”

"Then, what about the prince's orders? This time, in order to prepare for the attack on the enemy, Kuze's side needs to collect a large number of troops and supplies, but he is not here at such a critical moment!"

"Ha, it's very simple, let's see for ourselves!" said the Demon Prince's envoy, "If necessary, we can also help Kuze, after all, he is one of our Prince's most trusted subordinates, isn't he?"

"Haha, what kind of opponent is worthy of the envoy's attack? Even a legendary powerhouse is vulnerable, right?" The guard beside the envoy said with a hint of smirk: "It's up to our brother to come forward, if the creatures of that plane refuse to obey, they will all be slaughtered, ah no, we must leave enough of the opposite sex to breed the next generation for our demons." Well, of course, the best of the opposite sex should be left to the envoy first, isn't it?"
