Sunrise, the camp gates wide open, heavy battle tanks aimed outwards, greeting the row of envoys with great authority.
One by one, envoys from various nations entered, and although not every nation sent their rulers, they sent heavyweight members of the royal family.
Under the stern and imposing gaze of the Earth Guardians, the group warily proceeded towards the central tent.
Lin Hao sat in the center of the tent, watching the crowd enter with a smile and gently tapping on the table.
A total of forty nation's envoys stood divided on both sides of the tent, akin to paying tribute.
Though these people were discontent, having seen the formidable might of Earth's military, they dared not complain.
After all, what they had just seen were indeed Emperor Level Earthlings!
Everyone knows that Earthlings have no Emperors, let alone a Great Emperor, and according to previous intelligence, the Earthlings from Gu Country weren't strong, except for the few Great Emperors like Lin Hao.
But now...
In just a few months, so many Great Emperor Earthlings have emerged!
What kind of tactic was this?
It was simply unheard of.
Moreover, wasn't it said that Lin Hao had died in Tianxuan Cave? How come he's appeared again?
"Ladies and gentlemen!"
Just as the envoys were astonished, Lin Hao cleared his throat: "We Earthlings have always been generous and benevolent. As long as you swear allegiance, pay tribute, and compensate, I won't demand your lands, and this matter will be settled. Afterwards, we can still be friends."
These words were already well communicated to these nations. The envoys did not express anything and just listened quietly.
They were here, naturally prepared mentally.
"Emperor Lin Hao, we understand what you've said, and we do come with sincerity. Previously, we were biased towards Earthlings but from now on, we are willing to be friends with Earthlings."
An envoy spoke with evident dissatisfaction, then took a memorial in his hand and said: "This is a modest gift from us to express friendship, please review it, Emperor Lin."
"This is ours."
"And ours too."
One led, and the rest of the envoys also took out their memorials.
Lin Hao's gaze swept over them and he slightly smiled: "Since you are so sincere, I will take a look first."
Saying that, Lin Hao signaled Weiwei with his eyes, and Weiwei immediately collected these memorials and placed them in front of Lin Hao.
Lin Hao casually picked one up and took a look. Though his face still bore a smile, a hint of cold light flashed in the corners of his eyes.
Then, without changing his expression, he picked up a second, third…
In less than three minutes, he had gone through over forty memorials.
After that, Lin Hao laughed.
The compensation listed in these memorials was meager, mere pittances – practically like fobbing off a beggar!
Such a list clearly showed these empires had no sincerity.
And these envoys were also very aware of what was written in their lists, always paying attention to the changes in Lin Hao's expression.
However, aside from that barely perceptible anger at the beginning, Lin Hao maintained a smile, eventually setting aside the memorials and standing up.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's rare to have so many international friends here today, this Emperor would like to invite you all on a tour," said Lin Hao as he walked out, leaving the envoys completely confused.
They had imagined Lin Hao might get angry or roar after reviewing the memorials and then haggle, but they didn't expect this reaction.
Not only did he not get angry, he even invited them to go on a tour?
A tour of what?
Could it be he was planning to find a place to kill them?
The envoys' faces turned somewhat unsightly, but none dared to say no to Lin Hao.
"Come on, gentlemen, I invite you to review the troops."
Lin Hao walked to the door, called back at everyone, and then a vast airship descended from the sky, landing in the open space in front of the tent.
A military review?
What was that?
No empire in the Upper Realm Plane had ever held such an event, and what exactly was Lin Hao planning?
The envoys became somewhat anxious seeing the descending airship.
"Let's go, gentlemen, or do you need the Divine Dragon Emperor to invite each of you personally?" Weiwei followed on the side, speaking displeasingly to the envoys.
Then, a group of people came out from the tent.
Lin Hao was the first to board the airship, and under Weiwei's arrangements, all forty-plus envoys also boarded.
Despite the airship looking like a strange ship, it was filled with various advanced equipments, giving it a sci-fi feel.
These envoys from the Upper Realm Plane had never seen such a thing before and, once on board, were like country bumpkins entering a city, curiously looking everywhere.
"Come over here, to the edge of the ship, I invite you to appreciate this great landscape."
Lin Hao was indeed enthusiastic, making these envoys feel an illusory sensation as if hinting at hidden secrets; that enthusiasm and smile unnerved the envoys.
They thought Lin Hao, after seeing the list in the memorials, was angry and intended to kill them.
Not directly killing them might mean he wanted to throw them off after killing them from the airship.
Some were already trembling with fear.
"We are here," Weiwei boarded the ship, also unaware of what Lin Hao was planning; however, he didn't ask but simply followed beside Lin Hao, occasionally glaring angrily at the envoys.
Lin Hao nodded: "Take off, all forces get ready to move!"
With the command, the airship immediately began to ascend, and at the same time, the heavy battle tank units also started to mobilize.
Dozens of envoys were dumbfounded and simultaneously extremely shocked, gathering together, unsure what to do.
They could feel the airship flying higher and higher.
"Come over here, how can you see the outside scenery from inside?" Lin Hao enthusiastically waved again, urging the envoys to come closer to the ship's rail.
This really scared the envoys, truly believing Lin Hao intended to slaughter them and then throw them from the airship.
"This... this, Emperor Divine Dragon, actually, about the compensation, we can still discuss it," finally, one envoy couldn't hold back and mustered the courage to speak.
But Lin Hao just smiled and shook his head: "We're not discussing this now. Now, we're just looking at the scenery. Come on, everyone!"
As he spoke, Lin Hao's tone became increasingly stern.
The envoys had no choice but to move forward, all coming to the edge of the airship and looking outside.
By now, the airship had flown high enough that at the ship's rail, one could even see some floating clouds drifting by.
And the ground had long since looked like ants, only seeing some small spots moving rapidly away from the camp.
Those were the armored divisions.
The envoys were filled with fear and trepidation; they had never been this high from the ground in their entire lives, even riding exotic beasts, they could not fly this high.
Finally, they began to feel truly afraid.
