Chapter 2233: Chapter 2233 Seize the Power
"I see that you have quite a number of experts. Are all of you participating in the battle?"
Ye Liuyun tried a different tack to gauge the number of Alliance of Goddesses.
"The Alliance of Goddesses only have a little more than a thousand members. Even though they are all experts, many of them are martial practitioners who have not engaged in combat for many years. Their practical combat abilities are not high."
It’s only those who frequently go out to handle affairs or conscript martial artists who have some combat experience!"
Zhan Lingquan unintentionally slipped out the total number of members of Alliance of Goddesses. He also attributted their reasons for not joining the battle to lack of combat experience.
These seem like mere excuses to Ye Liuyun.
"These old geezers, they’ve all been battle-tested before. They’d fight with gusto if squaring off with their own kind. Even if they haven’t been in combat for a long while, wouldn’t they get better after a period of retraining?"
Thus, he probed again. "Would the Alliance of Goddesses coerce people into signing a divine soul contract? Can I join the Alliance of Goddesses?"
Zhan Lingquan hastened to explain with a smile. "How could that be possible! All of us joined the Alliance of Goddesses voluntarily, uniting to resist the foreign race.
We’ve only collectively signed a divine soul contract vowing not to disrupt the order of the Alliance of Goddessess. Those going to the battlefield must promise not to betray the Human Race. These measures are solely taken to prevent the emergence of traitors.
However... even though we don’t enforce the divine soul contract, we don’t accept those from the Royal Management. Due to their massive influence, we worry they would sway the course of the Alliance of Goddesses."
"That’s a nice way to put it. These old folks simply want to control Alliance of Goddessess, leading it according to their own will!" Ye Liuyun secretly grumbled in his heart.
However, he just simply smiled and said he could understand repeatedly.
“Overlord Ye, could you suggest a solution for the trial battlefield issue?” Zhan Lingquan steered the conversation back on track.
"Do you have any suggestions? Given that the entire God Realm is already mobilized, squashing the enthusiasm of these martial practitioners would hinder future attempts to rally them for the foreign race battlefield. It won’t be easy.
"Moreover, many of our soldiers are fighting on foreign race battlefields. When they are on the foreign race battlefields, they do not require my provision of resources. However, I have to provide resources for them once they returned which would increase my burden.
Therefore, this matter is not as simple as just issuing an order to stop them from going to war no matter how you look at it!”
YE Liuyun purposely mentioned that it would burden him further if the soldiers returned in order to misled Zhan Lingquan thinking that he needed compensation for him to pull the soldiers back.
"Of course, we understand that as well. We cannot crush the enthusiasm of the warriors, they are still needed on the foreign race battlefields.
We only hope that Overlord Ye can call back all the soldiers. Their relocations are relatively simple, a single command from you can solve it.
But of course, the Alliance of Goddesses will compensate for all your losses. What do you say?” Zhan Lingquan proposed.
Ye Liuyun nodded, "There’s no problem to that. However, since it was me who sent those people in the first place, I’d need to give an explanation to the public if I recalled them back, right?"
"Of course! We will release a statement that there are too many people on the foreign race battlefield in conjunction for you to withdraw the soldiers. Things will be done once you called them back!” Zhan Lingquan obviously had the whole plan figured out.
"Since the Alliance of Goddesses has planned things out so thoroughly, I have nothing more to say. But I need to prepare the resources to supply the soldiers in advance. As soon as they return, I have to allocate to them so they won’t complain!" Ye Liuyun added.
"No problem at all! I’ll arrange to have the resources delivered to you as soon as I return!" Zhan Lingquan confidently assured.
Therefore, the two came to an agreement. Zhan Lingquan immediately returned to reply the foreign race, to arrange the announcement and to prepare the resources.
On the other hand, Ye Liuyun gathered everyone together again to discuss countermeasures against the Alliance of Goddesses.
Song An pointed out, "Although the backbone of the Alliance of Goddesses is weak, it does not necessarily mean that its strategy is wrong. We can’t say with certainty that your ideas would work! After all, we know too little about the foreign races’ layout and information. Everything is merely speculation.
Indeed, there should not exist a power equivalent to the royal management coming from their perspective. I support your decision from this point."
Ye Liuyun also said, “Indeed! My thoughts may not necessarily be right. In addition, uniting the other realms and getting the support from the big planet is just my speculation. Whether they want to deal with us is still unknown!"
"I just feel that dealing with the foreign race devoid of humanity who only knows invasion and plunder, retreat is simply useless. Conversely, it would only provide them with more preparation time."
"Exactly! I’ve had a long history of dealings with these foreign races and I think this lad is right!" Qiong Qi also agreed with Ye Liuyun’s idea.
In the end, everyone unanimously agreed with Ye Liuyun’s idea, but what was to come was the real beginning of the difficulty.
Which was Ye Liuyun needed to think of a way to deal with Alliance of Goddessess and the small talks. At the same time, he needed to take into account of uniting the outer realms and to fight against the foreign races.
Qiong Qi also explained the situation of the Alliance of Goddesses to Ye Liuyun and his companions.
He was a rather extraordinary existence in the Alliance of Goddesses.
He had always been kept as a pet beast in the Alliance of Goddesses. Thus, he was well versed with Alliance of Goddesses’s situation and able to contact with them without signing any loyalty pact.
He told everyone, “Alliance of Goddesses is actually made up from the experts from each power houses from central regions. There were a hundred plus of them in the beginning.
Next, the began to bring in their family members into the alliance to take advantage of the resources. The experts from the enormous planet indeed left abundance of resources behind.
A significant portion of them were the top weapon-refining masters, alchemy masters and formation masters from the God Realm. This group of people totals more than six hundred.
There were more than one thousand people with everyone combined. Due to the ample resources, all of them were at the late-stage or even peak of ninth realm.
As for the martial practitioners and the butlers you met in the foreign race battlefield, they did not belong to Alliance of Goddesses.
There were two important things of the Alliance of Goddesses. “One of them is the token left by the experts from the enormous planet. You can ask for help by crushing the token but it was only when at the verge of dying.
The other one is a palace treasure. All the treasures of the Alliance of Goddesses came from there. But they discovered that the treasures in it always increase after awhile as if someone could add in the resources.
These two things are both in the hand of Cao An, the leader. However, the palace treasure cannot be opened casually. It requires registration and at least ten elders to open it together. This is to prevent the embezzlement of resources.
