Hoffman was a little anxious now. However, although the Glittergold Trade Union was on par with the three major forces, they still seemed a little weak in the face of the many top forces that almost represented the entire Breezy Plains. It would be fine if it were just those forces, but the problem was that the Ashen Warlock was an existence that mortals could not contend with at all. Hence, Hoffman had no choice but to consider the Glittergold Trade Union.
Now that things had developed to this point, almost everyone could already predict the outcome of the Tower of Dusk. Even Lin Li secretly became more vigilant. After all, he had never interacted with the Ashen Warlock before. Although the Ashen Warlock was said to be a powerhouse on the same level as the three arbitrators, Lin Li was not a person who would resign himself to fate easily.
Amidst the pleas of the crowd, the expressionless Ashen Warlock who was standing on the steps finally spoke slowly. However, as soon as he said those words, everyone was stunned.
"It seems that the Breezy Plains has been very peaceful recently. In that case, let's continue to maintain this peace. It's best if no one tries to break it," the Ashen Warlock said in a low and hoarse voice that was filled with an unquestionable tone.
Peace? How could it be peaceful!? The Tower of Dusk had caused so much trouble and risen in an extremely domineering manner. How could there be peace in the Breezy Plains!? Everyone fell into a daze, and they simply could not believe their ears. They all looked at the thin and shriveled old man on the steps in disbelief, and even suspected that the Ashen Warlock might be an imposter.
However, no one dared to stand up and question the Ashen Warlock's words, because everyone knew that it was the final verdict and the new order in the Breezy Plains. In particular, the last sentence that no one was allowed to break the current peace was a blatant threat. That sentence was equivalent to giving the Tower of Dusk an amulet. Not only did the Ashen Warlock not care about the things that the Tower of Dusk had done, he also put an end to the possibility of the other forces taking drastic measures against the Tower of Dusk.
More than 300 years ago, there was a force called the Blood Lions Adventurers in the south of the Breezy Plains. Although their strength could not be compared to the Mithril Alliance and other giants, they were qualified to be invited by the Ashen Warlock. For some reason, they felt that the Ashen Warlock could not leave Gran Town, and there was nothing they could do about it. Although they did not express any dissatisfaction when the new order was established, they turned a deaf ear to the Ashen Warlock's warning when they returned, and continued to fight with the surrounding forces for interests.
Indeed, the Ashen Warlock did not appear in person, and the one who descended was an Abyssal Demon Dragon that was burning with black flames. The four Legendary leaders of the Blood Lions Adventurers, as well as thousands of elite warriors, as well as a team of mages that consisted of more than 100 mages, and Lions, Masters, were, and castcast-sized mercenaries, were, and, and was.
With such a lesson in mind, not only did the leaders of the various forces not dare to question the Ashen Warlock's words, they also did not dare to disobey him after they left. Chen, they, Dynasty, and a Alliance, they be. with Springs, Unions. with the Gods, Masters, with, and, with, and, Saint., and of, they.,., Master Master, with Academy, with, with, Masters, and to., and, and and and to, they.
In particular, Joseph and the others, who were standing in front, had sullen expressions on their faces when faced with the Ashen Warlock's obvious words of partiality. However, they dared not say anything, even though they were furious. They originally thought that the three major forces would be enough to attract the Ashen Warlock's attention. However, they did not expect that they would still be ants in the eyes of the Ashen Warlock, no matter how big they were.
At this moment, Joseph was extremely remorseful. He never thought that he would get such a sentence from the Ashen Warlock after making so many arrangements. If he had known earlier, he would have gathered powerful forces before the gathering, and destroyed the Tower of Dusk before the new order was established.
During the last gathering in Gran Town three years ago, the Tower of Dusk's name was not on the map of forces in the Breezy Plains. Hence, no matter how they dealt with the Tower of Dusk, they would not be considered going against the will of the Ashen Warlock as long as they did not cause too much of a commotion. However, even the Mithril Alliance could not easily deal with the Tower of Dusk, and they would inevitably have to pay a price for going head-on against them. Besides, the Mithril Alliance was now lacking in talents, and none of the five major families was willing to suffer any losses. Hence, Joseph came up with the idea of using the Ashen Warlock to take down the Tower of Dusk without shedding a single drop of blood.
Joseph's idea was undeniably good. Otherwise, Mogadi and Claus wouldn't have agreed to join forces with him. The young president of the Tower of Dusk and the Ashen Warlock did not seem to have anything to do with each other. Besides, with the influence of the three major forces, how could the Ashen Warlock let the Tower of Dusk off easily?
However, how could the Ashen Warlock's thoughts be guessed by mortals? Joseph's scheme ended up backfiring. Not only did the Ashen Warlock not intend to hold the Tower of Dusk accountable, he even gave the Tower of Dusk an amulet. Hence, if Joseph wanted to use force against the Tower of Dusk again, he would have to be prepared to bear the wrath of the Ashen Warlock. Not to mention that the Blood Moon Clan and the Caesar Family would not join him in messing around, even the members of the Mithril Alliance would not agree to it.
Trapped in one's own trap! Trapped in one's own trap! No matter how resentful Joseph was, he dared not continue to harp on this matter. Hence, he had no choice but to bow respectfully to the Ashen Warlock, and say, "Yes, we will continue to work hard to maintain the peace of the Breezy Plains. Do you think we should move on to the next topic now?"
The Ashen Warlock nodded slightly, seemingly not intending to hold Joseph and the others accountable. That made the people who had just stepped forward to request for the Tower of Dusk to be expelled secretly heave a sigh of relief. The Ashen Warlock was not someone who could be exempted from punishment. If they really angered him, they would not be able to escape the fate of being crushed to death like bugs even if they were all big shots of the Breezy Plains.
The next topic that Joseph mentioned was actually to determine the territories of the major forces. In the past gatherings, it would usually be considered to be coming to an end at this point. For so many years, due to the existence of the Ashen Warlock, the territories of the major forces had not changed much, and they would usually settle everything with just a few words.
This time, the rise of the Tower of Dusk had clearly brought about great changes to the map of the forces of the Breezy Plains. The reason why the Tower of Dusk was established in Doland in the first place was precisely because it was once the border of the territories of several top forces of the Breezy Plains. It was one of the few areas in the entire Breezy Plains that did not have any forces. Of course, this so-called blank space didn't include those small forces that couldn't make the cut.
However, the empty area was just a small piece of land. Otherwise, the major forces wouldn't have ignored it. Now that the Tower of Dusk could already stand shoulder to shoulder with the three major forces, their territory had naturally expanded countless times, and many of the territories of the major forces had also been included. Hence, the next step was to determine the territory of the forces of the Breezy Plains, which was of great significance to the Tower of Dusk and the other forces.
The disputes between the other major forces regarding the territories had already been agreed upon through negotiations. Hence, there was nothing worth discussing at this moment. Joseph reported the results of their negotiation, and after seeing the Ashen Warlock nod, they made some changes to their respective territories according to the results of the negotiation. The map of the forces was thus decided.
The Tower of Dusk was the only exception. When the various forces came into contact with each other previously, the Tower of Dusk refused to give in to anyone. Naturally, they did not reach any agreement on the issue of territory with any of the forces.
Joseph failed to provoke the Ashen Warlock to deal with the Tower of Dusk, and instead allowed the Tower of Dusk to have a protective talisman. Hence, he was naturally indignant. Although it was impossible for him to cause any trouble for the Tower of Dusk, Joseph still did not give up the opportunity to make things difficult for the Tower of Dusk.
Didn't you say that the Breezy Plains is very peaceful? Now that there are so many problems with the Tower of Dusk, you have to be the judge. Let's see if you can still remain calm! Hence, when it came to the disputes between the Tower of Dusk and the other forces, he tried his best to complicate the issue even though he was not as biased as before.
Of course, Joseph wasn't doing something meaningless. Since he couldn't drive the Tower of Dusk out of the Breezy Plains, he would try to reduce the Tower of Dusk's territory as much as possible during the division of territories. That would more or less suppress them. In particular, the Tower of Dusk had been included in the new rules and restrictions after participating in the gathering this time. Although they could say that they did not know the rules and did whatever they wanted in the past, they wouldn't be able to attack and plunder the territory unscrupulously in the future.
The Tower of Dusk was considered a foreign force, and apart from the place where the tower was located, all of the other territories were seized from other forces. Hence, when talking about the Tower of Dusk's territory, Joseph would always mention who the territory originally belonged to, or who it should belong to logically. In short, according to Joseph, the Tower of Dusk's territory would only belong to the place where the tower was located.
However, before Joseph was halfway through his sentence, the Ashen Warlock suddenly interrupted him, and said impatiently, "Stop talking, let it belong to whoever it belongs to now."
The Ashen Warlock's words made Joseph feel as if his throat had been stuck, and he couldn't say anything else. Since the territory now belonged to the Tower of Dusk, there was no need to dwell on who it belonged to in the past. At this juncture, if anyone still couldn't tell that the Ashen Warlock was biased towards the Tower of Dusk, they would really have to suspect that there was something wrong with their intelligence.
Joseph had actually already expected such an outcome, but he was just unwilling to let go of any possibility. Hearing the Ashen Warlock's words, he simply sighed regretfully in his heart, but there wasn't much of an expression on his face. He responded respectfully without saying anything else.
Without a doubt, the Tower of Dusk had undoubtedly become the biggest winner of the gathering because of the Ashen Warlock's words. In the past two to three years, the Tower of Dusk had taken over Doland and the surrounding areas with their own strength, and occupied a large piece of territory. However, as a foreign force, the legitimacy of owning those territories would inevitably be criticized by the local forces, and it might even cause various disputes.
However, the Ashen Warlock's ruling made everything about the Tower of Dusk justifiable. From this moment onwards, no one could say that the Tower of Dusk was a foreign force to the Breezy Plains, because the Tower of Dusk was already the unquestionable owner of this land.
That outcome also made Mogadi of the Blood Moon Clan look even more sullen. The final ownership of the swamp mining area that was extremely important to the Blood Moon Clan had been determined by the Ashen Warlock, which meant that Mogadi had completely lost all hope of obtaining that piece of land. However, no matter how bold he was, he dared not ignore the existence of the Ashen Warlock. Hence, he couldn't help but blame Joseph.
Although the swamp mining area was an extremely tempting treasure for other forces, it had an irreplaceable significance to the Blood Moon Clan. Wealth could be earned anywhere, but there was only one place in the entire Breezy Plains where Serum Grass could be grown in batches. If they could obtain that treasure land and use it to grow Serum Grass in large quantities, the core members of the Blood Moon Clan would no longer have to worry about the pain of bloodline splitting. Secondly, they could also perfect the bloodline mixing technique and allow the strength of the Blood Moon Clan to increase rapidly.
Although the Blood Moon Clan had also participated in the operation to suppress the Tower of Dusk previously, and their attitude was not good when they met in the hotel, Mogadi felt that they had at least not fallen out with the Tower of Dusk yet, and that there was still room for reconciliation. However, they had just jointly requested to expel the Tower of Dusk. It would be fine if the plan succeeded, but the Tower of Dusk had to be protected by the Ashen Warlock. Hence, how should they face the Tower of Dusk next?
Seeing that the territory of the forces had been decided just like that, Mogadi was far more anxious than the leaders of the other forces. While secretly blaming Joseph for leading him to the wrong path, he racked his brains to think of a way to resolve the situation. All of a sudden, he saw Hoffman, who was standing not far away. The leaders of the other forces all looked gloomy at this moment, but Hoffman was smiling so widely that his facial features were all squeezed together.
Mogadi suddenly remembered that Hoffman seemed to have a good relationship with the young president of the Tower of Dusk. After all, he was not the leader of the suppression of the Tower of Dusk. Could he ease the relationship with the Tower of Dusk through Hoffman? Although there was no hope for that treasure land, the swamp mining area would not be completely mined in a short period of time. If he could grow some Serum Grass before that happened, he would at least be able to cope with the needs for a while.
