At this moment in the Lusis Empire, the King was sitting in his seat holding a meeting with others.

What these people were discussing was the recently rising Xuanwu Empire. The name of this country sounded strange at first, Xuanwu? What is that, surely it must have some special meaning.

"Your Majesty, we will soon be contacting those people from the Plague Land, is it not somewhat improper to deal with allies like this?"

An elderly noble spoke up, and others nodded in agreement. This person might not know about the matter, but how could they not know, and quite a few had been ordered to handle these matters directly.

"Exactly, and the situation is escalating, it's possible that the other side might find out."

"Hmph, don't you think the threat from the Xuanwu Empire is too great? A mere small country at the edge of the continent can come up with such war weapons. Floating battleships, and a large number of Bimon Giant Beasts."

The King's expression was very solemn: "I heard that we also have a floating city and an approaching army of sub-dragons being sent to the battlefield, their war potential is so powerful. If one day they attack, what can we use to resist?"

Attack? How could that be, they're practically too far away, right?

Seeing everyone's unsurprised expressions, the King became even more serious: "Do you think they're too far, but have you considered they have long-distance teleportation gates."

"But Your Majesty, wouldn't attacking us bring them no benefit, and others would not just stand by."

"Hmph, how long have they been developing, yet they are extremely aggressive on the Delan Continent. And in such a short time, they already have three demigods, if allowed to continue developing, who else can stand against them."

Suddenly, someone rushed in and said: "Your Majesty, esteemed lords, the Xuanwu Empire has sent a protest, saying that we promote statements unfavorable to them and demand a public apology."

The King immediately stood up: "Did you hear that, did you hear that, they demand a public apology, which means they see their strength as equal to ours, is this threat not significant?"

The crowd seemed to feel this made sense, nodding in agreement, the threat of the Xuanwu Empire was indeed too great.

"What Your Majesty says is not without reason, we all need to buy floating battleships from them, some of their technology is indeed superior to ours." These words resonated with many.

"But don't they refuse to sell to us?"

"So, we don't have it but they do, this potential already surpasses us greatly."

The previous person spoke again: "But what if they agree to sell to us?"

The King spoke: "If they're willing to sell to us, it means they have something better, or simply too many to care about this. That means they are even more of a threat."

Many young nobles furrowed their brows, these old folks in the country are always so stubborn.

Always thinking that their own opinions are right without considering others' situations.

"If that's the case, should we still continue the construction of the Magic Net, that thing is directly controlled by them and poses a bigger threat, right?"

The King waved his hand: "Of course I know it's a threat, but the Magic Net is too useful, how could we give it up?"

Is this thinking regardless of threat because it's useful? Looking around, most people seemed to agree, not concerned about the threat of this thing.

After all, the Magic Net brings tremendous benefits to the country's development.

This is just the beginning, in the future, when more time has passed, it will surely be more helpful.

Moreover, right now, we need this power to counter those undead beings. So no matter what, they won't give it up, as for the threat, it's of course very significant.

"We not only mustn't apologize, but we should also express our opinion, the Magic Net within our country must be under our control." A minister spoke up, immediately garnering countless agreements.

Many people's eyes flashed with greed, being able to control the Magic Net would bring even greater benefits.

As to whether this could be taken from the demigods, they surprisingly hadn't thought about it.

A rare few with some sense were feeling overwhelmed by it all.

When the country faced no danger before, this stubbornness didn't seem a problem, but now it's about to cause big issues. Still, some weren't willing to give up, continuing to speak out.

"Um, they've grown averse to us, what if we don't want to send troops to help?"

"Hmph, how could that be, this is an order from the Alliance. A mere country from Delan Continent, what right do they have to refuse?"

"But if they delay, wouldn't we suffer enormous losses?"

"That would further prove their treacherous intentions, we report to the Alliance to sanction them."

"But that takes time, how will we make up for the losses our country suffers? If, if we can't hold back those undead, we might lose significant territory."

The King looked disdainful: "Can't hold back the undead, are you joking, with those dead? Those small countries upfront may lack strength, but do we?"

Their empire has demigods, and that's their confidence.

As for whether demigods would join the fight, that doesn't need to be considered. Because the demigods' families all reside in the Lusis Empire, if the country falls, their families would also be doomed.

Thus, for their sake, the ancestors of their families must step in.

Furthermore, the Royal Family also has ties with other demigods, capable of persuading some to join.

The numerous old noble families nodded in agreement, as they were all aware of these things.

Looking at those few young nobles, each of them was silent, they couldn't understand at all.

"Still too young, in need of training." The other nobles looked at these newly risen nobles thinking. Do they really think they're unaware of some things? But the situation is different.

Don't be fooled by that small country producing all these things, that's all they have.

For true depth, you still have to look at these old Borick empires.

Meanwhile, after Zhao Guang issued a protest and found it surprisingly useless, this intelligence returned to Zhao Guang's desk. "Heh, seems these people genuinely don't take me seriously."

"Master, how should we respond to them, should we go through the Alliance?"

"Of course not, that would make us seem unconfident and unable. However, some adjustments are necessary." At present, the strongest force at the front line, even if not himself, wouldn't differ much.
