A hundred years ago, the Zhao Kingdom had hired assassins from the Assassination Society, causing the name of the Assassination Society to resound throughout the south-eastern region of the Thousand Kingdom Territory.
A hundred years later, the Zhao Kingdom, who had hired them, had been destroyed by the Assassination Society.
A hundred years ago, the most prosperous kingdom in the south-eastern region wasn't the Great Qin Kingdom, but the Chu Kingdom.
Back then, it was because of the Assassination Society that the Chu Kingdom had declined and become a second-rate kingdom. Now, it could only change its name to the Chu Kingdom.
Even the Southern Summer King Kingdom, which had nothing to do with the Assassination Society, had almost been destroyed because of the Assassination Society.
The situation in the south-eastern region was controlled by the Assassination Society.
Realizing the seriousness of the matter, the Great Qin King had immediately called for this meeting of the leaders of the Eight Kingdoms.
After Lin Yun arrived, the Great Qin King immediately ordered the guards to make the women who were singing and dancing leave.
Following this, the meeting officially began.
After everyone quieted down, the Great Qin King coughed and got straight to the point, "I'm sure everyone here understands the main point of this meeting. I won't waste any more words on pleasantries and will get straight to the point.
"I'm sure that a few months ago, everyone here was threatened by the Assassination Society to unconditionally submit to them and become their subordinate kingdoms."
Hearing the Great Qin King's words, all of the Kings fell silent, and their expressions became quite unsightly. After all, no one wanted to hand over the sovereignty of their kingdom to an assassin organization.
Seeing that none of the Kings said anything, the Great Qin King continued, "The Assassination Society's actions have already started to speed up. The destruction of the Zhao Kingdom is just the beginning.
"If we don't do anything, I'm sure that the flames of war will soon affect us. As such, we can't just sit here and wait for death. We have to prepare for a rainy day. For this, I have two suggestions.
"First, share military strength. Gather the armies of the Eight Kingdoms and form a large-scale allied army to defend the frontlines.
"Second, share resources. Gather the resources of the Eight Kingdoms and use them to nurture some super geniuses so that they can grow faster.
"Everyone, do you have any opinions on this?"
Hearing the Great Qin King's words, the Kings all discussed how to split the spoils.
Although the common goal of the eight countries was to fight against the Assassination Society, they would definitely prioritize the interests of their own countries. It was impossible for them to be truly united.
After some discussion, King Chu directly asked the Great Qin King, "The eight countries' military forces and resources are completely unequal; how are we going to integrate them fairly?"
The Great Qin King seemed to have already made arrangements. He said methodically, "The number of troops dispatched by the eight countries is inversely proportional to the resources contributed."
"The more troops a kingdom sends out, the less resources they need to contribute. In fact, they might not even need to contribute any resources at all. On the contrary, a kingdom that mobilizes fewer troops will need to contribute more resources. "
"And the resources that were contributed were all distributed to the young geniuses of the eight nations. The distribution doesn't depend on the country, only on the individual. No matter which kingdom's geniuses are from, as long as they have talent, they will be distributed. "
"The distribution is based on the individual's talent. The more talented the genius, the more, and the less talented the genius, the less."
Hearing the Great Qin King's words, all of the Kings' expressions became quite grim.
The Great Qin King's intentions were quite simple: those with money would contribute money, and those with power would contribute strength.
This didn't sound wrong, but it couldn't be considered carefully.
The Great Qin Kingdom was the most prosperous Kingdom out of the eight nations, and it could compare to the super Kingdoms from 100 years ago. Its army was estimated to be at least two million soldiers, and King Wu had tens of experts.
The Great Qin Kingdom sent out the most soldiers, but it definitely wouldn't contribute any resources. The Great Qin Kingdom also had the most geniuses out of the eight nations. In terms of resource distribution, it had the greatest advantage.
The most important question at the moment was who would be the commander-in-chief of this allied army that gathered the forces of the eight countries.
Since ancient times, it had always been the strongest. The Great Qin Kingdom was the most powerful, and it had the most talented people. The commander-in-chief would most likely be the Great Qin Kingdom.
If the Great Qin Kingdom obtained the command, it would control the eight nations' military forces. If any dangers appeared during the battle, the Great Qin Kingdom would use this allied army to protect its own nation.
It had to be said that the Great Qin King's plan was quite good. According to his plan, he would be able to use the eight nations' military forces, and he would also be able to distribute the resources of the eight nations.
On the surface, it looked like the allied army of the eight nations, but in reality, it was more like the other seven nations combining their military forces and resources to support the Great Qin Kingdom.
The kings present weren't stupid, and they only needed to think a little to understand this kind of political scheme.
The Great Zhou Kingdom's military forces were second only to the Great Qin Kingdom, and it was ranked second out of the ten kingdoms in the southeast region. Therefore, the Great Zhou King had more confidence than the other kings. He got straight to the point and asked the Great Qin King, "Then who will be the commander of this allied army?"
The other kings didn't say anything, and they just looked at each other with a crafty look in their eyes. Finally, they all looked at the Great Qin King.
The Great Qin King sat on the throne, and his expression didn't change as he said, "The allied army of the eight nations is no small matter. It concerns the survival of the eight nations, so it must be commanded by the most capable person."
Just as the Great Qin King finished speaking, an old General wearing spiked armor and a horned helmet walked in from outside the palace, holding a three meter long Sky-Splitting Battle Axe.
This old general was more than two meters tall, and his body was abnormally sturdy, like a beast in human form. He dragged the axe behind him, and wherever it passed, sparks flew from the friction of the axe's blade, leaving behind a charred cut.
The Great Qin King immediately introduced this old general to everyone, "This is our Great Qin's Marshal. He is skilled in both literature and martial arts, and he is both brave and intelligent. He has fought countless battles in his life, and has never been defeated."
"Currently, he has already broken through the level 9 King Wu realm, and is the number one expert in the southeast region. I think there is no one more suitable than him to be the commander in chief of the allied army."
Hearing the Great Qin King's words, the kings' expressions became even uglier.
However, they didn't dare to say anything. After all, as the Great Qin King had said, there was no one more suitable than the number one expert in the southeast region to be the commander in chief of the allied army.
After all, all of the Kings present knew how powerful Great Qin's Marshal was.
Not only was he the number one expert in the southeast region, but he was also the best commander in the southeast region. His name had already spread throughout the entire southeast region.
