Defying the Fate of Beheading-Chapter 537 - 297: Day and Night, Pushing and Pulling_2
At this moment, the Grand Chief of the Giant Demon Tribe, Nuke, suddenly spoke:
"The huge oversight this time does indeed have something to do with our Giant Demon Tribe’s failure to defend properly."
"Ladies and gentlemen, I, Nuke Long Xiao, representing the collective Giant Demons, have a suggestion to propose to you all."
Originally, the demigods’ gaze was fixed on Louis, but now it shifted to this mere legendary-level Grand Chief.
The Giant Demon Tribe took the initiative to take responsibility, also drawing some of the fire onto themselves.
After all, in the eyes of some demigods, if it weren’t for the Giant Demon Tribe’s misstep, so many extradimensional beings wouldn’t have merged into the Undercity, nurturing a generation of Demon King.
Not to mention that the Curse Binding Legion is so formidable now; although they can’t claim all the credit, they certainly deserve ninety percent.
How could a mere merchant act so brashly before many demigods, truly thinking he’s the emperor?
Nuke deeply bowed his head to apologize to everyone and proposed a suggestion that left them dumbfounded:
"By failing to stop the Demon King Army from expanding, the entire Giant Demon Tribe feels deeply ashamed. To console future citizens who might die under the invasion of the Demon King Army, the Giant Demon Tribe is willing to advance and retreat with our ally Ense."
"In the process of resisting the Demon King Army, as long as we have the prior consent of the fallen soldiers, Mr. Mayer will unconditionally convert the Giant Demons into members of the Curse Binding Legion, spilling the last drop of blood for the continent."
The mouths of the demigods sitting next to the Giant Demon Tribe opened wide, constantly muttering "Crazy, they’re all crazy."
At this moment, the Sword Master of the Lokeshi Empire suddenly raised his hand and said:
"The Giant Demon Tribe has been set up by the Four Abyssal Gods, and it’s not entirely their fault."
"And upon discovering the problem, they responded proactively, effectively striking against the extradimensional beings. Hence, our Lokeshi Empire has a proposal."
"Everyone, according to ancient tradition, forces that actively guard the dimensional passages are qualified to establish a nation."
"After all these years, why not welcome an ambitious newcomer among us?"
"On behalf of the Lokeshi Empire, I hope the Giant Demon Tribe will establish the Giant Demon Kingdom."
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell silent.
The first to break the silence was Duke the Prime Minister.
"The Tunisian Noble Council has unanimous agreement, with full support for the Giant Demon Tribe to establish a new country."
Goodness, it’s like they directly said all agreed, as if Tunisia might as well say "We communicated long ago."
Following closely, Louis also controlled a clone to raise his hand:
"On our side, we’ve communicated with the Emperor and the Eldest Princess, and the Ense Empire supports the Giant Demon Tribe establishing a nation."
Mr. ONE of the Am Empire watched this scene with interest and suddenly spoke:
"The Giant Demon Tribe has commercial value that the Am Empire cannot ignore. We are willing to deepen communication with future allies. I, ONE, on behalf of the Am Empire, support the Giant Demon Tribe establishing a nation."
The Elven faction, who had been silently watching the Giant Demon Tribe suffer from all sides, suddenly had a reaction. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
The Grand Speaker of the Hidden Forest solemnly said:
"By the order of the Elf Main God, we consent to our former comrades becoming a new nation."
This sentence caught Louis’s attention.
It’s as if saying, "Internally, the Hidden Forest actually doesn’t quite agree, but the gods have already decided, and we cannot refute it."
"Interesting, nowadays the voice of the Hidden Forest is not the Elf Empress, but the Elf Gods?"
This is indeed a strange phenomenon.
The Elven faction created the Elf Gods not to seek a superior but to craft an ’ultimate weapon’ of deities for themselves.
Usually, in the major sovereign nations of the elves, it’s rare for divine power to surpass royal power.
Although many elves highly respect and believe in the Elf Gods, it doesn’t mean they would follow the Elf Gods’ instructions when handling state affairs.
This is very un-elven.
In contrast, the attitude shown by the Supreme Forest aligns with Louis’s stereotypical impression of elves.
"The Windwalker Family received word from the Elf King. The Elf King and Elders warmly welcome their former partners back to the ranks of the World Order Guardians."
For a moment, the scene was even more boisterous.
Clearly, the news of the Giant Demon Tribe wanting to establish a nation had already spread among some great powers.
And those forces had long made their judgment on this matter.
Everyone’s eyes returned to the members of the Ense Empire.
They clearly understood that the Giant Demon Tribe, which had been closed off from the outside world for years, even after so many years of trade with various nations, couldn’t possibly establish connections with countries protected by so many demigods all at once.
There must be someone acting as a messenger behind the scenes, conveying the intention of the Giant Demon Tribe to the nations supporting its establishment.
And among them, the most suspicious one was the Ense Empire, which had been leading the scene all along.
They looked at Mayer and found that the extraordinarily lucky businessman was silently watching the Prince of the Empire of Ense.
These demigods, with their sharp eyesight, had long seen that both the princess and the prince on site were magical clones.
Logically speaking, with the enormous power Mayer had gained, it would be normal if he chose to break away from the empire.
After all, being someone’s dog can’t compare to being king oneself.
But oddly enough, despite only the magical clone of the Prince of the Empire attending in person, Mayer had been seeking the opinion of that Prince of the Empire.
——This was the result of Louis intentionally misleading them.
Unsurprisingly, some demigods began to think askew.
True.
The one orchestrating all of this behind the scenes definitely wasn’t Mr. Mayer.
He’s just a businessman; what qualities does he have to seize the assets of the Mad King?
As everyone knows, the one who killed the Mad King was the emperor of those days, and the inheritance of the Mad King is mostly in the emperor’s hands.
This Mayer writes as a businessman, but it reads more like the emperor’s spokesperson.
No, that’s not right.
If truly the emperor’s spokesperson, he wouldn’t have to be so concerned about the face of that Prince of the Empire.
Mayer’s respect for Prince Louis seems excessively reverent.
This respect as if worshipping a god, combined with past information they’ve gathered, indicates Mayer is serving the Prince of the Empire wholeheartedly.
Yes, that’s correct!
The true spokesperson for the emperor is clearly that Prince of the Empire.
And Mayer is the ’lucky one’ chosen by the spokesperson.
The Prince of the Empire is not suitable to participate directly in the front line, as that could easily provide the enemy with leverage.
But if there is a trusted subordinate, and the level of trust between them exceeds ordinary friendship, with a long-established oath, that is another matter entirely.
It’s worth noting there exists a special profession in this world known as Dragon Knight.
The relationship between a Dragon Knight and their dragon is not just that of knight and mount.
It’s a partner covenant mutually bound by vocational forces. Throughout the long years, many Dragon Knights and their dragons have relationships that surpass those with a lover.
This is a special covenant in which they can entrust and rely on each other.
Coincidentally, everyone knows that Mayer is a dragon.
With the level of greed dragons have, under what circumstances would they be willing to share their power and authority with the Prince of the Empire?
The answer is obvious: Prince Louis is a Dragon Knight.
Only this can rationally explain the strange relationship between the two.
And only a Dragon’s Covenant can allow the Ense Empire to agree to entrust the Mad King’s legacy to a merchant, letting him carry out plans that the Prince of the Empire cannot execute himself.
However, they didn’t know that at the moment, Louis was whispering telepathically with Olivia.
Louis: "Guess how many people will misunderstand after this wave is over?"
Olivia: "At first maybe only 1/5, but by the end of the meeting, maybe only 1/5 won’t believe it."
Louis: "Do you think they’ll accept our proposal?"
Olivia: "What does it matter if they accept or not? From the beginning, we never intended to gain their approval. Ense’s choice has nothing to do with them."
Louis: "Your tone is a bit like someone..."
Olivia: "Who?"
Louis: "Pretend I didn’t say anything."
He could hardly say that this tone sounded a bit like the Black Swan who inherited the Queen of the Shadow Country’s memories, could he?
If the Little Swan were to ask about his relationship with the Black Swan, could he really say he was pushing and pulling with another version of her day and night?
That would be courting death.
