When the sun slowly rose from the east, a meeting that included almost all the forces on the continent finally began.
The host of the conference was Guevara. As soon as he appeared, Guevara's gloomy face gave everyone an ominous premonition. It also added a layer of oppressive color to the atmosphere of the conference.
The next to enter the stage was Grand Duke Solomon. This Star of Magic who had been famous for a long time seemed to be in high spirits. As soon as he entered the stage, a low murmur of discussion could be heard from below. There was no such thing as an impenetrable wall in the world. Although Guevara had taken precautions immediately, some of Solomon's words were still leaked out. If he could express his stance without any scruples, Solomon would most likely become the public enemy here.
Then, Anqielle and a group of elders and guardians of Dragon City and Dragon City appeared. Who on the continent didn't know about Han Jin's hobby? The number of dragons that had died in Han Jin's hands was not a small number. Even though it was the dragon emissary sent by Anqiel who had informed them of the meeting, some of them still misunderstood that the dragons wanted to use this meeting as an excuse to launch a counterattack. Those with ulterior motives sat there excitedly, waiting for the show to begin.
If Han Jin hadn't obtained the Divinity, perhaps two-thirds of the people sitting here today would be missing, or even more. Although the continent had been in chaos for years, the structure of the forces was basically stable. Except for the rapidly rising Nicholas and Han Jin, most of the regions were in full swing, but it was difficult to determine the winner. Until now, those who could still lead a region were all powerful. It wasn't difficult to gain some advantages in local battles, but it wasn't so easy to completely swallow the other side.
Chesam of Cold Shadow City, although he could have taken over Depew City long ago, he didn't do it because it meant that he would have to face Han Jin's Holy Crown City directly. Some lords had been quietly accumulating their strength and keeping a low profile to avoid becoming enemies with powerful forces, but in fact, their strength was not to be underestimated.
Therefore, although the situation on the continent seemed to be chaotic, in reality, it was just one powerful individual occupying an area, dividing the continent into countless small pieces. Under such circumstances, Nicholas's rapid rise had already caused a sense of crisis to rise in the hearts of the lords. First, he destroyed the Holy See with thunderous means, and then he aggressively expanded rapidly, with a stance of "those who submit to me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish". Facing the Grand Light Empire's cavalry, even Laura's alliance couldn't resist, not to mention those small feudal lords with only a few hundred thousand soldiers.
However, before the people could recover from the shadow of Nicholas, Han Jin, the new monarch with the divine personality, had appeared again. Inevitably, the lords began to worry. Although the gods worshipped in different regions were different, and some places didn't even have any religion at all, even the most reckless man wouldn't be so stupid as to think that he could compete with a god.
Han Jin was like the rising sun, radiating endless rays of light, but also sowing the seeds of fear in the hearts of the lords. Therefore, they all came, and they were very eager to be the first, fearing that they would be used as an excuse by Han Jin to attack them if they were slower than others. But at the same time, they also had the intention to wait and see. The reason why they came to this meeting was to leave a way out for themselves. If the legend was true, then it would be a good way to express their sincerity. But if the legend was false, then sorry, everyone would just mind their own business and mind their own business.
In this case, the appearance of Anqielle leading the dragons was equivalent to a shot of adrenaline to the trembling small feudal lords. After all, many of them didn't even know what Han Jin looked like, let alone have any enmity with him. Even if Han Jin were to attack them, it wouldn't be their turn to attack. The dragons also had a reason to retaliate. After all, those who died were all golden dragons, not ordinary magical beasts. Besides, the dragons had always been strong and had left a deep impression on the people. Therefore, those who were eager to make a move and wanted to do something were now sitting there quietly. With the dragons as a big enough shield in front of them, why would they need to do anything?
The mentality of humans was sometimes very strange. For some weak existences, even if it was just for some insignificant matters, there would always be people who would bully them to show their strength. In the face of those who were strong, they would bow their heads and submit to them. At the same time, they also hoped that someone would come out and beat them to the ground. Although there was no real benefit to these people, this was indeed their true thoughts deep in their hearts.
There was never a lack of people who would stand aside and watch the show, but there were very few who would dare to step forward.
The feudal lords present all had different thoughts, but the only thing they had in common was that no one dared to do anything out of line. At this time, it was not a wise decision to be the first to step forward. No one who could sit here was an idiot, and no one would do anything that would bring trouble to themselves.
However, in the end, the feudal lords couldn't suppress the curiosity in their hearts anymore. This was because Jedis, Glynn, and the others who appeared one after another had already filled up the seats on the viewing platform. Han Jin didn't appear, which was a little too strange. No matter what, Han Jin shouldn't let go of this opportunity to establish his power in front of all the feudal lords of the continent.
Although they were curious, no one dared to ask. Guevara's expression had fully expressed his feelings at this moment, and no one wanted to touch this bad luck.
In fact, this couldn't be blamed on Guevara. He had experienced many ups and downs, and had seen all kinds of storms. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have shown such an inappropriate expression, which would cause the feudal lords to make the wrong judgment. However, Guevara really couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. In such an important occasion, Han Jin actually said that he wouldn't be attending?! This was outrageous! Who was he working so hard for? Wasn't it all for Han Jin?! But at the moment when the Empire was announced, as the Emperor, Han Jin, was not present. Was there anything more ridiculous than this?
Glynn and Jedis, who were sitting next to Guevara, were also somewhat helpless. Just before the start of the conference, Guevara suddenly made an outrageous decision, which was to remove the seat that originally belonged to Han Jin. When they first heard the news, everyone was shocked. How could he do this? But no matter how much they tried to persuade him, Guevara was stubborn. They couldn't do anything about this old man that Han Jin had always respected. Jedis and Glynn had no choice but to look for Solomon. In terms of status, Guevara was Han Jin's elder, and Solomon was Han Jin's father-in-law. Their status was about the same, and it was most appropriate for Solomon to persuade him. However, what was even more outrageous was that after Solomon heard the news, he only smiled and said that he understood, and didn't say anything else.
Thus, Han Jin's seat was really removed. Glynn and Jedis were full of complaints, but they had nowhere to vent them. They sat there feeling uncomfortable all over. Without Han Jin, what was the point of holding this conference? But the lords were already here, and they couldn't tell them that Han Jin wasn't here, so they could all go back first …
On the other hand, Grand Duke Solomon seemed to be indifferent, as if it was normal that Han Jin wasn't here. He also didn't care about the few faintly hostile gazes that were directed at him from below. After the previous incident, a considerable number of people had already regarded Solomon as a potential enemy, for no other reason than profit.
Among these people was the leader of the Tribal Alliance, Thorne of the South of the Heavens. Because he wasn't officially loyal to Han Jin, he could only sit below, unlike Kemorache and Honduras of the Freedom Federation, who sat high up on the viewing platform. The Tribal Alliance wasn't something that those small lords and small cities could compare to. It was formed by the union of countless large and small tribes. Thorne of the South of the Heavens' position as leader was a hasty decision made by the old leader. If one were to seriously consider it, there was no lack of people in the Tribal Alliance who were better than him in both strength and scheming. Thus, Solomon's words had the biggest impact on Thorne of the South of the Heavens, and the resentment in his heart was also the heaviest. Although he didn't dare to act rashly due to Solomon's identity as Han Jin's father-in-law, he could still vent his anger with his gaze.
Chesam, who had a fierce reputation in his own territory, wasn't very worried that someone would dare to stand up and overthrow him, but Solomon's words were really too harsh, so Chesam's attitude towards Solomon couldn't be considered friendly.
But after all, Solomon's identity was there, so even if they had a big opinion, they could only endure it in their hearts. At least until now, no one dared to say anything in front of Solomon.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Guevara adjusted his mood. At this moment, it was useless to think about anything else. He coughed slightly and said slowly, "On behalf of the Holy Crown City, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all of you for coming all the way here to attend this event."
Guevara's words confirmed everyone's guess. The monarch who had obtained the Godhead really didn't want to participate in this conference! But, why did he do this? Or rather, where was he now?
Some lords who didn't send a representative but came in person couldn't help but feel a little worried. In this world where the strong were respected, there were two completely different situations with or without the participation of high-grade professions. Those who were naturally suspicious even suspected that Han Jin deliberately took this opportunity to summon them here, so that he could launch a sneak attack on their territory.
Although this idea was somewhat ridiculous, with Han Jin's current strength, it was just a piece of cake for him to break into any city. There was no need for him to use such a despicable method. But it was undeniable that many people had this idea. It was like an aardwolf guarding a rotten corpse, guarding against a thunderbird soaring in the sky. It didn't need to worry that the thunderbird would rush down to snatch its food. The rotten corpse, which was regarded as a treasure in the aardwolf's eyes, was actually not attractive to the thunderbird at all. The aardwolf did this because it didn't understand the thunderbird. Similarly, these lords who only had one or a few small cities didn't understand Han Jin at all.
Suddenly, there was a lot of discussion in the hall. Those who were more familiar with each other couldn't help but whisper their opinions. No matter how one looked at it, it was really strange that Han Jin didn't appear on such an occasion.
Even those who had known Han Jin for a long time showed a look of astonishment. Thorne's eyes were wide open, and his mouth was slightly open. He had a look of disbelief. If it were him, he would try his best to be in the limelight. How could he not appear?
With the chaos below, Guevara's face became even uglier, and his words were no longer polite. "Who has a question? You can say it directly! "
The hall suddenly quieted down, and no one whispered. Although Guevara's personal strength wasn't outstanding, the people behind him were the most important. Han Jin didn't appear today, but it didn't mean that he wouldn't appear in the future. No one wanted to get into trouble for no reason.
The corners of Anqielle's mouth twitched slightly. She understood why Han Jin didn't want to appear here. Looking at the people below, even she couldn't help but despise them, let alone Han Jin who had taken the last step. It was hard to imagine that an eagle would talk about his ambitions with a sparrow.
"In this war with the Abyss World, we first defeated the Abyss Army, then pursued them and killed the Great Demon Donald in the Abyss. We destroyed the foundation of the Demon Race, the Demon Pool! Our Lord Raphael also killed the Great Lich Denver and eliminated the God of the Underworld, Stia, and successfully obtained the Divinity! " Although Guevara really didn't want to mention Han Jin's name, he had no choice but to mention Han Jin's glorious achievements to completely intimidate the lords below. "At the crucial moment, Frost Dragon Anqielle was able to fight side by side with Lord Raphael. We express our deep respect for this. The Freedom Federation's participation also greatly increased the morale of the allied army. It can be said that Lord Kemorach and Lord Honduras had great foresight. Facts have also proven that their choice was not wrong! "
Guevara deliberately omitted Nicholas's name and only mentioned Anqielle and the Freedom Federation. He even exaggerated the role of the Freedom Federation. His intention was to send a message to the outside world: We will not mistreat those who seek refuge with us.
Kemorach and Honduras were somewhat excited. After all, the lords of the entire continent were sitting in front of them. They actually received such high praise in such a grand occasion. In the past, they wouldn't even have dared to imagine such a thing. On the other hand, the great leader of the Tribal Alliance, Thorne Tiannan, could only sit pitifully below. His name had never been mentioned before. Only now did they sincerely rejoice that they had made the right decision.
Although the lords below had long heard of Han Jin's various achievements, when they heard it personally from Guevara, they couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. At this moment, they deeply felt that compared to Han Jin, they simply couldn't be mentioned in the same breath. Just look at what he had done. The great demon Donald and the great lich Denver were terrifying existences that could even stop children from crying at night. In the face of such super powerhouses, these lesser lords might not even have the time to resist before they were easily killed.
What was even more incredible was that even the God of the Underworld, Stia, had been killed by Han Jin. After all, he was a god!
After hearing Guevara's words, most of the people showed a dignified expression. They even closed their mouths tightly, for fear of leaking a word or two and causing a fatal disaster for themselves. However, there were still a few people who didn't give up. Of course, they absolutely didn't dare to be the first to jump out. They just put their hope on the dragons. Most of the dragons had a tyrannical temper. Once the Holy Crown City and the dragons were really at loggerheads, they might have a chance to fish in troubled waters and gain some benefits for themselves.
Seeing the reaction of the people below, Guevara was very satisfied, and even his expression eased a lot. Then he began to give a long speech. The seemingly meaningless words revealed the same message all the time, that was, since the alliance had been established, it would not stop at the Northeast region. It was only a matter of time before it would expand and even unify the entire continent. As for where to go from here, it was better for all of you to make a decision as soon as possible.
Although Guevara didn't explicitly say what they had to do, his words were full of threat. The lords had no doubt that if they didn't rely on the Holy Crown City Alliance, they would not have a good ending.
Those whose territories were closer to the Holy Crown City, such as Marishen of Depew City, had long been restless. He, who was struggling to survive in the cracks, was no longer as ambitious as he used to be. The rise of Han Jin was actually a good thing for him, but the key point was that he couldn't even find someone to be loyal to. After all, Marishen was a lord, a figure above all the people in Depew City. Even if he had to bow his head and surrender, it should be in front of Han Jin. How could he be loyal to Guevara, a has-been Dragon Knight?
Many people had the same idea, especially the lords in the remote areas. Anyway, Han Jin couldn't reach them for the time being, so they just submitted to him on the surface. However, they were also powerful people, so it would be better to be loyal to Han Jin. After all, he was an existence that could kill gods. It was not shameful to submit to such a person. But Guevara was different. He was only qualified to represent Han Jin, not Han Jin himself. Moreover, the lords present hadn't taken any action yet. If anyone jumped out at this time to pledge allegiance, he would only be despised by the others. What was the difference between him and a clown?
Guevara was infuriated when he saw the hesitant look on everyone's face. In his original plan, he was supposed to use this conference as an opportunity to subdue most of the lords. As for those who remained stubborn, Guevara was not stingy with his ruthless methods. However, all his plans were ruined by Han Jin. As a former lord, Guevara certainly knew what these people were thinking. But Han Jin was not here, so the effect of this meeting was far from what he expected.
At this moment, Anqielle suddenly said, "Lord Guevara is right. The continent can't go on like this. It's time for someone to stand up and unify the continent. Don't worry, we dragons will support any decision made by Raphael."
Anqiel's words were like throwing a huge stone into the calm lake, which was equivalent to adding a heavy weight to the Holy Crown City. No one would have thought that the Dragon Clan, who had always been arrogant, would actually say such words.
In fact, Anqielle's words contained several meanings. First, she clearly expressed her determination to support Han Jin. Then, she directly called Han Jin by his name, which showed that she and Han Jin were equals. And the key point was that she supported any decision made by "Han Jin". The implication was that if the decision was not made by Han Jin himself, she could ignore it completely. This also showed her trust in Han Jin. Although the dragons were tyrannical and easily angered, perhaps due to their pride, their credibility was also well-known. Whatever they said would never be discounted. It was not hard to imagine how much trust Anqielle had in Han Jin when she said such words.
As a result, those who were still on the fence lost their temper. Even the dragons could not withstand the pressure and compromised. What qualifications did they have to go against the current? Some people even hesitated whether they should take a stand now. The current situation was very clear. Han Jin, who had the ability to kill gods, Grand Duke Solomon of the Capital of Elements, the huge organization of the Freedom Federation, and the dragons were also on the side of Han Jin. It was not an exaggeration to say that these forces could sweep the entire continent. In the face of such a combination, resistance would only bring disaster to oneself.
Guevara took in the reactions of the crowd one by one. He knew that a string could not be stretched too tight, otherwise it would break. He said, "I believe that everyone is very clear about the choice you should make. I won't say more here. Time will prove everything. In a few days, it will be His Excellency Raphael's wedding. I welcome everyone to attend. I hope that when the time comes, both of us will be able to show the sincerity that we deserve. "
Hearing this, the lords heaved a sigh of relief. Not only did this give them a few more days to think about it, but they also did not have to face the awkward situation of whether or not to pledge their loyalty to Guevara. Thinking about it, Raphael would appear at the wedding ceremony, right?
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became lively again. Enthusiastic congratulatory voices rose and fell one after another. Anyway, saying a few words of praise did not cost any money. Not only would they not lose face, but they could also express their goodwill. Why not?
At this moment, a deafening explosion came from the sky. The tall conference hall trembled, and cracks appeared on the bright skylight. Dust flew everywhere, as if there was a snowstorm. The hall immediately exploded. The lords who attended the meeting stood up and looked around.
"Silence!!" Guevara shouted. In fact, he did not know what had happened. He looked around and then turned to look at the skylight above his head. The next moment, Guevara's eyes could not move because he saw a shocking scene.
In the sky, a huge Gate of Heaven had appeared out of nowhere. Countless flames were attached to the Gate of Heaven, burning fiercely. There was also a dazzling ray of light coming and going from the Gate of Heaven.
The lords followed Guevara's line of sight and were all stunned. The Gate of Heaven was always filled with a holy aura. At this moment, what was happening? Did someone dare to set fire to the Gate of Heaven?!
"Lord Anqiriel, could it be …" Guevara's gaze turned to Anqiriel. He saw Han Jin and Anqiriel secretly talking about something in the morning. If that ray of light was really Han Jin, then Anqiriel must know the inside story.
"That's right." Anqiriel smiled and said, "Raphael is attacking the Heavenly Realm."
Although Anqiriel's words were gentle, to the lords, it was no less than a bolt from the blue. For a moment, the hall was silent. If you want to know what happened next, please go to www.qidian.com. There are more chapters. Support the author. Support the original reading!
