Chapter 1652: Negotiation
As the emperor said, he immediately sent a letter to the empire, telling them he would be coming with a guest.
The empire felt a bit uncomfortable, but it was rare for the dynasty to disregard any courtesy and just barge in. Not to mention that the dynasty only came with five people.
In the end, they accepted the dynasty’s request and invited them for a private meeting.
On the empire’s side, the emperor was surrounded by all the important people, such as the prime minister, their strongest forces, and even Regina.
Regina was quite surprised that Nathan had actually returned to this continent.
But it was a bit sad that Nathan chose the dynasty over the empire.
Nevertheless, Nathan began talking about the incoming danger to the compensation.
Obviously, the compensations were something no nation could ignore. If the dynasty were the only one to receive this, the empire would suffer a massive setback.
Since the dynasty had accepted Nathan’s request, there was no reason for the empire to reject it.
The empire’s emperor placed his hands on the table before saying, "It looks like the situation may have gone worse than expected... To think that the aliens have been fighting on many fronts all this time.
"The destruction of one continent has caused the influx, so if we end up losing another one, we may not have enough manpower to handle the second influx. It will only be a matter of time before the third continent falls, and then the entire world will fall. Even if you build an impenetrable fortress, it will fall eventually."
Nathan nodded. "That’s why I’m planning to take the fight to them. By entering their worlds, it may create a distraction. Eventually, we will have to push them back."
"How many people do you require?"
The dynasty’s emperor was the one answering the question. "For the sake of fairness, how about sending an army of fifty thousand with many officers and crystal armor stage summoners? If we want to send the crystal fusion summoners...
"How about sending five of them and two more for those who have surpassed the normal crystal fusion stage summoners? For example, my dynasty will send Sir Ternius and Vanregreed."
The empire’s emperor contemplated. They could definitely spare that number as well.
It looked like the dynasty had considered the amount of manpower they possessed without actually harming the front lines.
"Do you know where they’re going to come?"
Nathan shook his head. "We know they’re going to come to this continent, but we don’t know now from where other than the fact it will be in alien territory."
The dynasty’s emperor asked, "How about sending scouts all around the front lines? Once we have found them, we will have the people in that area retreat. Then, we will send the soldiers through the teleportation circles."
"I’ll do you one better. It won’t be just soldiers. There will be workers. We need to dig ditches and other structures to increase our defensive power. This is a battle where we may have to abandon a few fortresses." The empire’s emperor shook his head.
The two emperors seemed to be on the same wavelength. Even though they had been rivals, they were more than capable of uniting their forces when it was necessary.
Summoners and soldiers could dig ditches as well, but they needed to conserve their energy, so it was only right to bring workers to handle this kind of job.
Hence, the dynasty’s emperor agreed. "I don’t mind. We will send thirty thousand workers?"
"Sure."
"All right. What are we going to do now?" The empire’s emperor asked. "When are we supposed to begin?"
"My team will arrive starting next week. I hope that you can start sending scouts starting from right now since we only have a rough estimate of their arrival. We expect them to arrive in three to eleven weeks. It’s a large estimate, but we can’t predict more than this.
"However, looking at the alien’s movement this time, I’m afraid we should prepare for the worst.
"Once my team arrives, we will begin to clean up the ash cloud. As I mentioned previously, you can just do the maintenance, which shouldn’t be too hard for both nations.
"To avoid confusion, please announce that we will be doing it or at least grant us the permission to reveal our names as well as the agreement to avoid confusion.
"I assume the work itself will take seven to ten days. After that, we will finish the teleportation circles before focusing on the alien matter.
"My team and I will do our best to take care of the enemies as quickly as possible to lower the casualties, but we can’t promise much, considering the numbers.
"That’s the gist of our schedule. As for the plans, I believe it’s best to discuss them in the war council first."
The empire’s emperor looked at the other emperor. They seemed to have a tacit agreement.
"Now that I think about it..." The empire’s emperor couldn’t help but notice a link to this incident. "Is this the result of us taking down the Godfather? If I’m not wrong, he is supposed to be the link to the black cell, right?"
"!!!" Nathan widened his eyes. He definitely didn’t consider this possibility. All this time, he had just pushed the thought about the Godfather away since the revenge had been achieved.
But the emperor was right. The Godfather was the representative of the black cell on this planet.
In that case, his death might also be the reason for the black cell to take this world more seriously.
That might be the reason it forcefully sent the elite class aliens to this world. The black cell wanted to retaliate.
If Nathan hadn’t been blessed by his luck, his team wouldn’t have been able to grow strong enough to withstand this kind of army. Even if they did, the world would be chaotic and a lot of things would have been lost.
That was why this incident might actually be related to the death of the Godfather.
The emperor noticed his expression and smiled. "It looks like we have a lot to talk about. How about staying at the empire for the duration of your stay? I believe my sister is also intrigued about this matter."
’This sly fox.’ The dynasty’s emperor twitched.
