Eofam took quite a long time to think. It was so long that when Li Huailin logged on the next day, he saw that Li Huailin was still researching in the square. It looked like he had not slept the whole night. Of course, seeing that Eofam was still researching, Li Huailin did not disturb him. After thinking about it, he decided to settle the follow-up matters of the Continental Conference first.
A day had passed, and the time given to these guys to think was over. It was time to express their stance. Of course, these people thought that Li Huailin had given them a day to think, which was already good enough. Now, they could only express their dissatisfaction.
Yes, what could they do in a day? There was almost nothing they could do. They did not even have enough time to hold a meeting and discuss with their ministers. Moreover, they had to make a decision that concerned the fate of the entire country. How could they make it in time?
Moreover, most of the Kings were not prepared to make this news public. To them, they were just a small country with little power. Even if they really sent out troops, they would only send a few hundred people. They were just fence-sitters who followed the majority of the army, so they would not be able to play any key role. Their rule of survival had always been to follow the victors. So who was the victor now? They did not know. The Protoss were indeed strong, but what Li Huailin said made sense. He had never lost before.
Originally, they just wanted to follow the Protoss, but now that Li Huailin had forced them to express their stance, they did not know what to do after thinking for a day. Before they could come back to their senses, it was already time.
Of course, their thoughts were not wrong. Li Huailin did not care much about their opinions. To be honest, although the Continental Conference looked lively, the situation of the entire continent was still relatively stable. The Six Great Powers basically controlled the main political situation of the entire continent. The other countries were either affiliated to the Six Great Powers or neutral countries. They had little influence, and the Six Great Powers would not allow them to have any influence. So, the most important opinions were actually the opinions of the Six Great Powers.
To be honest, Li Huailin hoped that all the people from the Six Great Nations would side with him. This would really save a lot of trouble. Moreover, Li Huailin didn't know what the Divine Race was doing. So far, the Divine Race's only action was to contact everyone and have them deal with the Ancient Race. This was the only clue that Li Huailin had.
Therefore, if he wanted to know what the Divine Race wanted, he could only investigate in this direction. Of course, this also required the cooperation of the six major countries. As for the other small countries, if the six major countries raised their hands and agreed, they would follow suit. Li Huailin didn't care at all.
After returning to the Duke's Mansion, Geert came to report the news immediately. Now, all the spies that the mainland government could use had basically been sent out. Of course, the original name was to investigate the situation of the old race, but in fact, they were secretly investigating the movements of the Protoss. Because Li Huailin's intelligence network was relatively strong, he got a lot of information.
First of all, there was a strange news that appeared on the Terrans' side. Yes, after yesterday's meeting, the decisions of the various countries were different. Among them, the Emperor of the Terran Empire, Anthony, encountered a very troublesome problem when he returned. A group of ministers firmly opposed becoming enemies with the Protoss. Yes, this group of ministers actually had a very good impression of Li Huailin. But the problem was that this was a matter of choice for the country. In their opinion, becoming enemies with the Protoss was just courting death. Although the one leading the way was the million-strong Duke, but … humans couldn't fight against the Gods, so they firmly opposed it.
But the problem was that you couldn't talk to Anthony. He would always say things like, "I don't want to be the Emperor anymore," or "I want to help Li Huailin fight against the Protoss in my personal capacity."
But the problem was that things weren't as ideal as Anthony thought. Could the Emperor's identity be thrown away so easily? As the saying goes, if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. Since ancient times, no one had ever heard of an Emperor being able to resign. Even if you really resigned now and helped Li Huailin fight against the Protoss, the other party would see that you were the Emperor of the Terran Empire. Wouldn't it still show the Terran Empire's position?
What should they do when faced with such an unreasonable Emperor? So the ministers thought of a way, which was to announce this news to the entire country. This was because the majority of the people had their own beliefs. So if this news was announced, it should cause the people to oppose it. If the opposition was very strong, then they could persuade Anthony. After all, Anthony seemed to be a relatively close Emperor.
Anthony really agreed with the ministers' opinions. This was what Li Huailin told him. If he wanted him to announce it, then he would announce it. Anthony also felt that it was necessary for the people to know about this matter. So on this point, the two sides reached an agreement. Then Anthony issued an official document to announce this news.
Then, a scene that surprised everyone appeared. Once the news was announced, the entire country was overjoyed. When everyone heard that Li Huailin was actually going to war against the Protoss, they felt that this was a great thing.
This result surprised all the ministers. What made them even more confused was the strange attitude of these believers. Yes, according to the feedback, these believers didn't intend to abandon their beliefs. However, they didn't know why they regarded Li Huailin as the most devout believer of the Protoss. Many of the Pope even expressed that their faith in their god wasn't enough. They were even prepared to give up their position to Li Huailin.
This was simply inexplicable. The ministers were really confused. Brothers, this guy is already going to war against the god that you believe in. Where did this most devout believer come from? Is he so devout that he'll kill you? Are you sure you don't have any Deepwell Ice?
But the problem was that it wasn't just one faction that thought this, it was the entire country that thought this way. Therefore, the ministers couldn't understand what was going on. Were these people crazy or were they the ones that had gone crazy? Therefore, if you ask a believer, "Do you believe in your god?", the other party would immediately reply, "Yes." Then, if you ask, "Now that Li Huailin is going to attack your god, what will you do?", the other party would immediately reply, "Isn't this a good thing?"
In short, this strange situation was spreading throughout the entire Human Empire. Although they didn't know the exact details, it was clear that the Human Empire was siding with the Protoss.
After listening to Geert's report, Li Huailin pondered for a moment. Although Li Huailin expected this situation, he still felt that it was a bit strange. This was because the Divine Race really didn't do anything. Yes, the Divine Race's oracle only told them to deal with the Undead, but it didn't mention Li Huailin's name. If the Divine Race had announced their hostility earlier, then it was obvious that their believers would become enemies with him. But because the Divine Race didn't make a clear announcement, it led to the belief that their believers were on the same side, leading to such a change in their favorability.
Because of this, Li Huailin felt that it was a bit strange. The Divine Race obviously had many opportunities to cause trouble for him, but the other party didn't do anything. He really couldn't figure out what was going on. The other party clearly knew that he was an enemy. Of course, although he didn't know what was going on, it was still beneficial to his side.
At the same time, Li Huailin also listened to the reports from other places, such as the Undead. The Undead had also announced the news to the entire country. Moreover, they didn't have any scruples about it. After the meeting yesterday, Soudeis and the others announced the news as soon as they returned. They had no intention of hiding it from the people at all.
And what they said was almost the same as what Li Huailin said before, but the meaning of "create an era that belongs to us" was different. Because in the ears of the Undead, the "us" in "our era" naturally referred to the era of the Undead.
The Undead would certainly agree. They didn't have any faith in the Divine Race, and their emperor was the wielder of the divine sword they believed in. Now that the emperor said that he would deal with the Divine Race, and they really had a grudge against the Divine Race, then … why wouldn't they do it? Therefore, the Undead had almost no obstacles at all. From the current news, it seemed that the Undead were definitely on Li Huailin's side.
Of course, it would be great if the other races were as simple as the Undead, but the problem was that it wasn't so simple. Apart from the Humans and the Undead, the other four countries had not announced the news yet. Among them, the Dwarves and the Demons were now affiliated countries, so it was very likely that they would listen to the opinions of the Humans and the Undead. However, the situation with the Elves and the Beastmen was very ambiguous.
The two countries had not announced this amazing news so far. Their troops were still gathering, but they were still helping the Divine Race fight against the Ancient Race. The attitudes of these two countries should ultimately be decided by their own royal families. Because it was an internal meeting, the current results were not very clear. Therefore, the attitudes of these two countries were the biggest variable in this meeting.
To be honest, the current situation of the Beastmen was not very good, so Li Huailin could ignore them intentionally or unintentionally. But the Elves … seemed to be very troublesome at present. The previous battle with the Beastmen had also strengthened the strength of the Elves. At present, they were the third most powerful country on the continent. Although there was still a gap between them and the Humans and the Undead, they were still ranked among the top. If possible, Li Huailin really didn't want to take the time to deal with them now.
After listening to all the reports, Li Huailin nodded slightly. After resting for a while, Gelt quickly informed him that all the countries' representatives had arrived, and the meeting was ready to begin.
