Chapter 1383 Fragile Alliance
Everyone turned their attention to the newcomer who walked into the conference room. The man wore simple black robes, even ragged compared to the rest. I is long black hair was tied into a ponytail, swaying behind his back.
His identity was a mystery to some, who had never seen him before the two worlds merged. However, whispers among the crowd revealed his identity and numerous titles. Some originated from Earth, while others belonged to Alka.
Seika.
Memoir.
Beloved One.
King of Wrath.
Outsider.
Everyone knew him from different perspectives throughout his life, but no one could belittle his impact on the world. The first major effect was the epiphanies he brought to the world, and the second was becoming the eraser of timelines.
His aura silenced the crowd as he walked toward his chair, each step blending seamlessly into the world. Once he sat down, becoming the fifty-first participant in the conference, silence descended upon the hall.
"Thank you for gracing us with your presence, King Arthur, Ruler of Runera and Guild Master of Ascent," Lucien began, introducing him for those still unable to decipher his identity. "As I was saying, strength is the absolute guarantee that no one would betray
the other."
"And he is the strength you seek?" asked Kael Firebrand, the current ruler of Thiria. "An outsider who brought this chaos upon us?"
Kael then walked out of the conference room, making his rejection final. The crowd remained silent as they watched him leave. A few more rose from their chairs without saying anything and left the hall.
Lucien understood that their reasons were not about the alliance itself but their pride, shaped by countless encounters with Arthur. Kael and Dragonir were the two most affected by Ascent's sudden rise.
Others who left were guild masters who believed they had nothing to do with the situation. These reclusive guilds focused on surviving as isolated groups and had no land to protect. Therefore, no one was surprised to see them leave.
Lucien made no attempt to stop them. He understood that these people should leave now rather than in times of trouble. There was no use in convincing someone who could not care less about others.
After everyone who wished to leave had indeed left, Arthur did a quick count and found that twelve members were gone, leaving them with thirty-nine people. Those remaining seemed to be considering the proposal.
"If we create this treaty, what duties would we have?" asked Morkan Steelgrip, Guild
Master of the Iron Vanguard. "If the Seika participates in this alliance, then I am willing to do my part!"
Lucien looked relieved for a second before smiling. Then, he waved his hand to construct an ethereal map of the world before them. The map was divided into several sections in different colors.
"This is the map of the New World," Lucien said with a smile. "If those present here are willing to sign the treaty, we will work together to cover the areas marked here. These are the most threatened zones we have discovered."
"That is..." the Alvan King muttered with a frown as he noticed that one of the areas bordered his kingdom. "How accurate is this?"
No one expected the Alvan King to be part of this alliance, but the demi-humans always acknowledged strength above all else. If Arthur wished to invade Alva and claim it as his own, no one would complain, as he clearly had the ability to do so. "As accurate as our reports can be," Lucien said as he retrieved the documents from his dimensional ring and began showing them to the crowd. "You are free to confirm
them."
