As the sun slowly rose in the east, a conference that encompassed almost all the forces of the entire continent was finally held as scheduled. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Guevara presided over the meeting, and as soon as he appeared, Che Guevara's gloomy face seemed to be dripping with water, which gave everyone present a sense of foreboding, and also put a layer of oppressive color on the atmosphere of the conference.
Then came the Grand Duke Solomon, the long-standing star of magic seemed to be in good spirits, he just appeared, and there was a low discussion below, there is no impermeable wall in the world, although Guevara immediately laid precautions, but some of the words Solomon said were still spread, if he could take a stand without scruples, Solomon is very likely to become a public enemy here.
Then, Anqi El and a group of elders and guardians of Dragon City and Dragon Domain appeared, who on the mainland did not know Han Jin's habits? The dragon clan who died in the hands of Han Jin was not a small number, although it was the dragon envoy sent by Anqi El who informed them that they were coming, but there were still some people who mistakenly understood that the dragon clan wanted to use this conference to fight back, and some people with ill intentions sat there with excitement, waiting for the show to be staged.
If it weren't for Han Jin gaining the Godhead, then I'm afraid there would be two-thirds fewer people sitting here today, maybe more. Although there have been melee battles on the mainland for many years, the power structure is basically stable, except for the fast-rising Nikolai and Han Jin, although most areas are in full swing, it is difficult to distinguish between the superior and the inferior, and now all the people who can still lead one side are strong, and it is not difficult to gain some advantages in local battles, but it is not so easy to completely annex the other party.
Or like Chetsom in Cold Studios, although he has been able to occupy Deepe City a long time ago, he has never made a move, because that means directly facing Han Jin's Holy Crown City, some lords have been silently accumulating strength in order to avoid confrontation with strong enemies, and they have also tried to keep a low profile, but in fact, their strength is not to be underestimated.
Therefore, the situation on the continent seems to be chaotic, but in fact, it is just a strong man who has divided the continent into countless small pieces, in this case, the rapid rise of Nikolai has made a sense of crisis rise in the hearts of the lords, first destroying the Holy See by thunderous means, and then the domineering rapid expansion, a posture of those who follow me and perish those who oppose me. In the face of the iron cavalry of the Xiongguang Empire, even the Lola Alliance could not resist it, not to mention those small lords who only had more than 100,000 troops in their hands.
However, before people's mentality recovered from the shadow of Nikolai, Han Jin, a monarch with a godhead, was freshly baked again, which inevitably made the lords start to worry, although the gods believed in different regions were different, and even some places had no faith at all, but even the most daring and reckless man would not foolishly think that he could compete with a god.
Han Jin was like the rising sun, radiating a thousand rays of light, and at the same time, it also sowed the seeds of fear in the hearts of the lords. So they all came, and they were still scrambling and being very active, lest they would fall behind if they were one step slower than others and become an excuse for Han Jin to attack him. But at the same time, they also have a wait-and-see mentality in their hearts, the reason why they came to this conference is just to leave a way out for themselves, once the legend is true, they can just express their sincerity, but if the legend is false, then I'm sorry, everyone still does their own thing, and the well water does not interfere with the river water.
In this case, Anqi El led the dragon clan to appear, which was equivalent to a shot in the arm for these trembling little lords, after all, many people didn't even know what Han Jin looked like, let alone any hatred between them, even if Han Jin did it, it wouldn't be their turn. And the dragon clan also has every reason to retaliate, you must know that the dead are all golden dragons, not ordinary monsters, and the dragon clan's consistent strength over the years has already left a deep impression on people, so those who were originally a little ready to move and tried to do some small tricks and feet, are sitting there quietly at the moment, with the dragon clan's big enough shield in front of them, how can they still use themselves to shoot?
People's mentality is sometimes very strange, for some weak existences, even if it is just because of some inconsequential things, there will always be people who go up and bully them, in order to show their strength. And in the face of those strong people they need to look up to, they bow their heads and surrender at the same time, and they hope that someone will come out and knock each other to the ground, although this is not a real benefit to these people, but this is indeed their true thoughts in their hearts.
There is never a shortage of people standing aside to watch the excitement, but there are very few who dare to stand up.
The lords present had different thoughts, the only thing that was the same was that no one dared to make any outrageous moves, it was not a wise decision to make a head bird at this time, there was no idiot who could sit here, and no one would do anything to set themselves on fire.
However, later, the lords really couldn't suppress the curiosity in their hearts, because the people who appeared one after another, Jadis, Zeng Green, and others had already filled the seats on the viewing platform, and Han Jin did not appear, which was really a little abnormal, so it was reasonable that Han Jin should not let go of this opportunity to stand up in front of the lords of the whole continent.
Curiosity is curiosity, but no one dares to ask, Guevara's expression has fully expressed his mood at the moment, no one wants to touch this moldy head.
In fact, Guevara can't be blamed for this, he has never seen any strong winds and waves after several ups and downs, and it stands to reason that he should not show an inappropriate expression, which will cause the lords attending the meeting to make wrong judgments. But Guevara really couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, on such an important occasion, Han Jin actually said that he would not participate?! What is this really unreasonable! Who is he working hard and thinking about for whom? Not for Han Jin! But at the moment when the establishment of the empire was announced, Han Jin, as the monarch, was not present, is there anything more funny than this?
Zeng Green and Jaydis, who were sitting next to Guevara, were also a little helpless, just before the conference, Guevara suddenly made an unbelievable decision, that is, to remove the seat that originally belonged to Han Jin, and everyone was shocked when they first heard the news, how could they do this? But no matter how you persuade him, Guevara just insists on going his own way, and there is nothing that can be done about this old man whom Han Jin has always respected, Jaydis and Zeng Green have no choice but to go to Solomon, in terms of identity, Guevara is Han Jin's elder, and Solomon is Han Jin's father-in-law, and he happens to be in the same position, so it is very appropriate for Solomon to come forward and persuade him. However, when Solomon heard the news, he simply smiled and said that he knew, and never said anything more.
So Han Jin's seat was really removed, Zeng Green and Jaydis were full of complaints but had nowhere to tell, they were uncomfortable sitting there, Han Jin was not there, is this meeting still meaningful? But the lords have already come, and they can't tell them that Han Jin is not there, so let's go back first...... However, Grand Duke Solomon seemed to be indifferent, as if it was a normal thing for Han Jin not to appear here, and he didn't care at all about the few faintly hostile glances shot from below, after the last incident, a considerable number of people have regarded Solomon as a potential enemy, for no other reason, just interests.
Among these people was Thorn Tennan, the leader of the tribal alliance, who, because he had no formal allegiance to Han Jin, had to bow down to the bottom rather than sit high on the viewing platform like the Kaimoraki and Honduras of the Free Federation. The tribal alliance is not comparable to those small lords' small cities, it is formed by the union of countless large and small tribes, and the position of the leader of Thorn Tiannan is also a hasty decision made by the old leader, if you think about it carefully, whether it is on strength or scheming, there is no shortage of talents in the tribal alliance that surpass him, so Solomon's words have the greatest impact on Thorn Tiannan, and the resentment in his heart is also the heaviest, although he does not dare to make a mistake because of Solomon's identity as Han Jin's father-in-law, but it is still okay to vent the resentment in his heart with his eyesγ
Someone like Chetham who is famous in his own territory, although he is not very worried that someone will dare to stand up and overthrow him, but Solomon's words are really too harsh, so Chetham's attitude towards Solomon is not friendly.
But after all, Solomon's identity is there, and no matter how big the opinions are, everyone can only endure it in their hearts, at least until now, no one dares to say anything to their faces.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Guevara adjusted his mood, and at this moment, it was useless to think about anything else, coughed lightly, and slowly opened his mouth and said, "On behalf of everyone who came from afar to participate in this grand event, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to everyone in the Holy Crown City. β
It was good that Guevara did not speak, and this opening confirmed the suspicion in the minds of the people that the monarch who had attained the godhead was not going to attend the meeting! But what was he doing it for? Or where is he now?
Some of the lords who did not send representatives but came in person couldn't help but be a little worried, in this world where the strong are respected, whether or not high-level professionals are involved in the battle are completely different situations, and those who are suspicious even wonder if Han Jin deliberately took this opportunity to gather them here, and then go to attack their own territory.
Although this kind of thinking is a bit ridiculous, with Han Jin's current strength, it is only an easy matter to break through which city, where can such a despicable means be used, but it is undeniable that there are not a few people who have this kind of thought. It's like a coyote guarding a carrion, guarding against a thunderbird soaring in the sky, it has no need to worry about the thunderbird rushing down to grab its food, and the carrion that it regards as a treasure in its eyes is actually not attractive to the thunderbird at all. The coyote did this because it didn't know about the Thunderbirds, and similarly, these lords who only owned one or a few small cities couldn't understand Han Jin at all.
There was a lot of discussion in the field, and some people who were more familiar with each other couldn't help but start exchanging opinions in a whisper, no matter from which point of view, Han Jin did not appear on such an occasion, which was really a little weird.
Even those who had known Han Jin for a long time also showed a look of astonishment, and Thorn Tiannan's eyes widened even more, his small mouth opened slightly, with a look of disbelief, if it was him, I am afraid that he would do everything possible to show up, how could it not appear?
In the following chaos, Guevara's face became even more ugly, and his words were no longer polite, "Which one has a problem?
The venue was quiet all of a sudden, and no one whispered anymore, although Guevara's personal strength was not outstanding, but the people behind Guevara were the most important, Han Jin did not appear today, but it does not mean that he will not appear in the future, and no one wants to cause trouble inexplicably.
The corners of An Qi'er's mouth on the side twitched slightly, and he understood why Han Jin was reluctant to appear here, looking at the people below, even she couldn't help but be a little disdainful, not to mention Han Jin, who had already taken the last step, it was hard to imagine that the eagle would talk about his ambitions with the sparrow.
"In this war with the Abyss World, we first repelled the Abyss army, and then took advantage of the victory to pursue, killing the Great Demon Donald in the Abyss, destroying the foundation of the Demon Clan, the Demon Pool! Our Excellency Raphael even killed the Great Lich Denver and eliminated the Hades God Stia, and successfully obtained the Godhead!" Although Guevara didn't want to mention Han Jin's name now, he still had to tell Han Jin's glorious achievements in this situation in order to completely deter the lords below with different thoughts." We have great respect for the fact that Lord Angelel, the Frost Dragon, has always been able to fight alongside His Excellency Raphael in critical times. And the joining of the Free Federation has also greatly boosted the morale of the coalition forces, it can be said that Kemoraki and the Honduran adults are extremely far-sighted, and the facts have proved that their choice is not wrong!"
Guevara deliberately omitted Nikolai's name, only mentioning Angel El and the Free Federation, and exaggerating the role of the Free Federation, which was intended to convey a message to the outside world that we would never treat those who took refuge in us.
Kemoraki and Honduras were a little excited, knowing that sitting below included the lords of the whole continent, and they could get such high praise on such a grand occasion, which was something they didn't even dare to think about before, and on the other hand, they looked at Thorn Tiannan, the great leader of the tribal alliance with the same status as them, and could only sit pitifully below, and their names had never been mentioned, and to this day, they were sincerely glad that they had made the right decision.
Although the lords below had already heard of Han Jin's deeds, they couldn't help but take a breath when they heard Guevara say it with their own ears at this moment, and only then did they deeply feel that they were simply incomparable compared to Han Jin. Let's see what people have done, the Great Demon Donald, the Great Lich Denver, those are all terrifying existences that can stop children from crying at night, in the face of such a super-level powerhouse, these little lords may not even have time to resist and will be easily killed.
What's even more incredible is that even the god Stya died in the hands of Han Jin, you must know that it is a divine mansion!
When most of them heard Guevara's words, they showed a solemn look and even closed their mouths tightly, for fear that they would cause death for themselves by leaking a few words. But there are still a few people who don't give up and wait and see, of course, they definitely don't dare to be the first to jump out, they just put their hopes on the dragon clan, the dragon clan's temper is mostly strong, once the Holy Crown City side really goes toe-to-toe with the dragon clan, then they may have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and get some benefits for themselves.
Seeing the following reaction, Guevara was very satisfied, and even his expression eased a lot, and then there was a tirade, and the seemingly meaningless words always revealed the same message, that is, since our alliance has been established, then it will not stop at the northeast region, and it is a matter of time before we expand outward and even unify the continent, and it is better for everyone here to make a decision as soon as possible.
Although Guevara did not explicitly say how you must be, the threat was still overflowing, and the lords had no doubt that if they were not attached to the Holy Crown Alliance, the fate would never be much better.
The territory is relatively close to the Holy Crown City, such as Marishen in Dip City, he has long been restless, he is already trying to survive in the cracks, and his ambition is no longer what he used to be, and the rise of Han Jin is a good thing for him, but the key point is that he can't even find the object of his allegiance. How can it be said that Marishen is also a lord, a figure above 10,000 people in Dip City, even if he bows his head and submits, it has to be in front of Han Jin, what is the matter with his allegiance to Guevara, an outdated dragon knight?
There are not a few people who have the same thoughts, especially the lords of remote areas, anyway, Han Jin's hand can't reach there for the time being, it's just a superficial surrender, but he is also a strong party, and it looks better to say his allegiance to Han Jin, that is an existence that can make the gods fall, and it is not ashamed to surrender to such a person. But Guevara is different, he is only qualified to represent Han Jin, not Han Jin himself, and none of the lords present have made a move, if anyone jumps out first and shouts allegiance at this time, I am afraid that he will only become the object of contempt for everyone, what is the difference between that and a clown?
Looking at everyone's hesitant looks, not to mention how angry Guevara was in his heart, in his plan, he should have used the opportunity of this conference to subdue the vast majority of the lords, and for those who were stubborn, Guevara did not hesitate to use thunderous means. However, these were all destroyed by Han Jin, and Guevara was also a lord of one side, of course, he knew the thoughts of these people, but Han Jin was not here, and the effect of this meeting was far from what was expected.
At this moment, Anqiel suddenly spoke, "Lord Guevara is right, the continent can't continue to be chaotic like this, someone should stand up and unify the entire continent, you can rest assured, our dragon clan supports any decision Raphael makes." β
Angel's words were like throwing a boulder into the calm surface of the lake, which was equivalent to adding a heavy weight to the side of the Holy Crown City. No one could have imagined that the dragon clan, who had always been above the top, would say such a thing.
Angel's words actually contain several meanings, first clearly expressing her determination to support Han Jin, and then calling Han Jin by her name reflects that the relationship between her and Han Jin is equal, and the point is that she is supporting. Any decision made by Han Jin, the implication is that if any decision is not made by Han Jin himself, then she can completely ignore it, which also shows her trust in Han Jin, although the dragon clan is tyrannical and irritable, but perhaps it is due to pride, their reputation is also well-known, and the words that come out of the mouth of the dragon clan have always been one one, two are two, and they are never discounted. One can imagine the extent to which Anqi El can say such a thing, and his trust in Han Jin has reached.
In this way, those who are still waiting and watching have lost their temper, and even the dragon clan can't resist the pressure and compromise, what qualifications do they have to go against the current? There are even some people who are hesitating whether they should express their stance now, the current situation is already obvious, Han Jin, who has the ability to kill gods, Grand Duke Solomon of the Elemental Capital, as well as the joining of the huge organization of the Free Federation, and the dragon clan is also on Han Jin's side, these forces are united, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they can sweep the entire continent, in the face of such a combination, the end of resistance may only bring disaster to themselves.
Guevara took in everyone's reactions one by one, knowing that the strings should not be tightened too tightly, otherwise they would be broken, and said, "What kind of choice should be made, I believe everyone knows very well in their hearts, I won't say more here, time will tell." In a few days, the wedding of His Excellency Raphael is coming, and everyone is welcome to attend, and I hope that by that time, we will both be able to show the sincerity we deserve. β
Hearing this, the lords all breathed a sigh of relief, not only did they have a few more days to think about it, but they also didn't have to face the embarrassing situation of whether or not to pledge allegiance to Guevara, I think that Raphael would always appear at the wedding celebration, right?
The atmosphere in the venue suddenly became warm again, and the enthusiastic congratulations came one after another, anyway, it didn't cost money to say a few good words, and it didn't lose face, but also showed goodwill, so why not do it.
At this moment, a deafening explosion sound came from the air, the tall conference hall was shaken, cracks appeared on the bright skylight, countless dust was sprinkled one after another, as if it was a blizzard, the field immediately exploded, and the lords who participated in the meeting stood up and looked around.
"Quiet!!!" Che Guevara exclaimed, he didn't know what was happening, he glanced around, then turned to the skylight above his head, and the next moment, Guevara's eyes didn't move, because he saw a scene of horror.
High in the sky, I don't know when a huge gate of heaven appeared, countless flames attached to the gate of heaven, blazing, and a dazzling glow flickered in it.
The lords followed Guevara's line of sight, and they stayed there one by one without exception, the gate of heaven was always full of divine aura, and at this moment, what was going on?
"Lord Anqi El, is it ......" Guevara's gaze turned to Anqi El, he had seen Han Jin sneakily talking to Anqi El in the morning, if that glow was really Han Jin, then Anqi El must know the inside story.
"That's right. Angel El smiled, "Raphael is attacking the Celestial Realm. β
Although Anqi El's words were soft, to the lords, it was no less than a thunderbolt from the sky, and for a while, there was silence in the field.
(To be continued)
