"Aren’t you going to send a message to Black and White Path sooner?" It was ’Lu Huayu’ who remained calm.

After all, this kind of trivial topic was completely valueless to someone like him, and to be honest, it felt a bit too naive for him to get used to.

"Ah~" ’Snow Cloud Peak’ slowly sat up, "Hill always gets nervous when dealing with the Beastmen.

In the current situation, neither side will target that silly girl flying in the sky.

After all, she has nearly sacrificed half of her soul and will probably need to sleep in the Styx for ten thousand and eighty thousand years after this battle."

"Hmm? Why not just make those Beastmen leave?" ’Battlefield Lightning’ was a bit confused, "What are they even useful for? They don’t even dare approach that Asma, right?"

"Asmodeus!" ’Night Slumber Treading Flames’ couldn’t help but turn to look at him, "If you can’t remember, just say Lord of Hell, don’t forget we have this deity favor thing.

Your careless words might affect the relationship between our entire Alliance and a certain deity!"

"But this... could never be an ally, right?" ’Battlefield Lightning’ pointed at the giant screen, "Rose..."

"Can you shut your mouth, Thunder." ’Snow Cloud Peak’ quickly spoke up, stopping this guy from speaking out about the impressions left on Toril by these two.

"Oh..." Realizing he might have misspoken again, ’Battlefield Lightning’ quickly curled himself up and hid behind his deputy leader.

And that rather serious-looking Knight wore a distinctly calm expression... their Clan Leader, never a day without a lecture.

It was all loving education anyway, so just let him be.

’Snow Cloud Peak’ knew very well that although the summoned deities included Coron, and Shaer and Celene were vaguely antagonistic towards Rose, appearing like deep-seated enemies.

But enemies wouldn’t affect temporary cooperation concerning benefits.

It’s only about whether there is a common enemy, once it’s confirmed that what both sides want doesn’t conflict, cooperation follows naturally.

But positions don’t work.

This has nothing to do with character and capability.

In reality, positions might shift due to subtle changes, but in the game, it’s impossible.

An enemy is an enemy.

When there’s no conflict of interest and no way to act, it’s fine to ignore or temporarily withdraw, but cooperation... absolutely not.

Even without William’s permission, once it happens, friendly factions like Hill’s would quickly turn cold.

But ’can’t cooperate’ doesn’t mean it has to be offended here... otherwise, what if this Lord of Hell really follows them around?

This is a highly autonomous NPC!

If Hill can run around, this one certainly can do more.

’Snow Cloud Peak’ wasn’t afraid of having enemies, but they needed to be ones the Undead Tribe could break through.

Like the currently somewhat insane Orc Leader.

He pulled out a tablet, smiling as he typed, "Now is when notifying them is useful.

Earlier, they just started fighting, and seeing my message would be ignored.

Do you really think Ink Brush has that restraint and authority?

He hasn’t even sorted out his own people yet!"

"You really do value him." ’Old Age Striking King’, who had been fiddling with his fingers, looked up in surprise.

"How many more years can our era last?

Once people start having kids..."

’Snow Cloud Peak’ suddenly laughed, "It would be no different from a hen laying eggs, those getting married and having kids will just follow suit one by one.

Games, I believe most will continue playing until..."

He waved his hand, gesturing upwards with a heavenly gesture, "But surely many people, their life’s focus, will no longer be the game.

Look at Baldy, it’s been over ten years, that spot beside him has never been vacant during important moments.

But now... Black Rose folks have to make reservations to find their Sister Liu, right?

Hey~ I’m saying everyone, at this moment, have you felt the passage of time?"

’Snow Cloud Peak’ adorably tilted his head, "Of course, people like me, like the Road Eunuch, will definitely keep going.

But people change."

He turned to look outside the window, "People’s hearts waver, human nature is suspicious.

I... although I still quite like playing mind games and fooling silly kids now.

But seeing so many changes among you, it indeed has made some impact.

Truthfully, I don’t want to find, in a dozen or even decades of years, that when I turn around, all I see are unfamiliar faces.

I think when that day comes, I might lose much of my interest too.

After all, I’ve become a lot more peaceful now, not nearly as aggressive as in the past!"

"Actually, that sentence doesn’t need to be said." ’Perfect Bald’ who had been listening to him break the silence in the hall, "It only makes people feel like you’re acting in front of us again."

"How did you come up with the courage to speak about your attack power declining?" ’Lu Huayu’ looked confused, "Don’t say it’s your combat power, you’ve never had that thing."

Back then, Zhu Meili wouldn’t even include you in the power comparison statistics."

’Snow Cloud Peak’ turned to look at him and suddenly puffed out his cheeks like the ’Young Master’ used to: "Why say such hurtful things?"

The command hall, which had been slightly downcast, was instantly filled with sounds of retching.

"I shouldn’t even talk to you." ’Lu Huayu’ said slowly, staring ahead with unchanged expression, "I’m very busy, got to go now."

"What are you busy with? Helping Ambori seize the divine rights Triton left behind?" ’Snow Cloud Peak’ suddenly leaned in closer and asked hastily.

"Looks like... Aesces indeed plans to take the stage himself!" ’Lu Huayu’ smiled lightly, completely unmoved, "In that case, everyone for himself, let’s see who can seize more!

Just see how fast each of us can digest what we get, pulling each other’s legs with little tricks is also fine.

But, absolutely no mutual attacks because of this."

Then he smirked, revealing a stiff smile: "We Ambori have no intention of doing anything in this world, just leaving a mark.

Of course, the deeper the mark, the better.

But there’s no need to start a conflict because of it.

Aesces as a world, hasn’t reached that value yet."

He cast a glance at Snow Old Dog’s large face that was very close: "I understand the words you wanted to say and didn’t say, so, it’s none of my business anymore, right?

I really don’t care about how the next commander and Alliance Hierarch of Proud Sky Alliance are nurtured."

Getting Snow Cloud Peak’s nod of approval, Chief Steward Lu smiled and bid them farewell. When he reached the door he suddenly turned back and smiled: "I never expected Proud Sky Alliance to be so united and obedient.

You can decide the next Alliance Hierarch yourself and others don’t even think about fighting for the opportunity!

Really... admirable."

He smiled and quickly descended the stairs.

"Ah... Really, hearing such words, I’m relieved.

Chief Steward Lu seems not to have planned a big trap for me." ’Snow Cloud Peak’, with a slow pace, returned amidst the laughter.

Truth be told, Proud Sky Alliance always existed just because of ’Snow Cloud Peak’.

This loose alliance would naturally end if there were any dissatisfaction.

Besides, even if ’Mobi Chenxin’ really passed his tests and gained approval from other families in Proud Sky Alliance, the people he manages then couldn’t possibly be the ones behind him now.

The most important thing is, ’Snow Cloud Peak’ is just being prepared for a rainy day.

The day of complete power transition is actually still far off.

The chairman temporarily steps down, but it doesn’t mean the shares are handed over.

His purpose of speaking so much today was to hope that Lu Eunuch and Zhu Meili would be lenient in their actions... considering the usefulness of Ink Brush and Black and White Path.

’Lu Huayu’ certainly understood and quickly responded: No major events occurring, why bother with minor ones.

It’s impossible to not lay any traps, but perhaps Ink Brush, that foolish child, didn’t even notice being held back... so things just passed.

’Snow Cloud Peak’ couldn’t help glancing at the large screen, murmuring softly: "Ah... where’s the pit?

Why didn’t I see it?"

"Zhu Meili... still the same Zhu Meili!" ’Perfect Bald’, who just captured Snow Old Dog’s intention and gave perfect cooperation, couldn’t help shaking his head, "Everyone knows he certainly did something, but just can’t find where that something is."

"Why do those Orc Leaders just watch as the Lord of Hell and Gaia smash with big sticks?

Whose side are they on?

I see them smashing the black cat too, so... why ignore Gaia being beaten up until he’s bloody?

And over there, so many of their own subordinates were killed!

Why don’t they rescue them?" ’Battlefield Lightening’, completely indifferent to what had just happened, always watching the exhilarating battle on the large screen, asked confusedly, "Wasn’t it said that Beastmen have many rules and if a tribe is wiped out, even level 20 can’t survive in their own world?

These, are not from Toril, right?

If they all died, even if they go back alive, won’t the tribe be swallowed by other tribes?"

Even though it was well known that this guy only thinks during battles, many people still applauded his clear thinking in the inquiry.

’Battlefield Lightening’ turned to look at them, frowning slightly... why doesn’t he feel it’s a well-intentioned encouragement?

"When Ellie summoned them, she should have them protect that baby... ah, now should call him child.

He’s already five years old, right?" ’Snow Cloud Peak’ glanced at that naked child on Rainbow Bridge, asked in surprise, "Looks pretty good, better looking than Poseidon."

But he was just asking casually, not intending to get an answer, he continued, "The black cat threatened the child’s safety. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Asmodeus should understand too, so he didn’t intervene."
