YM778.TV Chapter 1221 Alliance - Part 1
"Because I know the First Order Guild will be the next World Government\'s target if the Tang Empire falls. I disagree with the World Government\'s view, and we will remain independent from any influence. That should be a convincing reason for you to form an alliance with us," Herman voiced his thoughts.
"Make sense, but as I said, you don\'t understand the whole situation, Guild Leader Herman," Zhang Mengyao shook her head, "Our enemy is not the World Government or The Uprising Guild. This might sound arrogant, but I will be honest with you. We don\'t care about them, our real enemy is The Divine Church and The Federation of Allurion."
Herman Bonivido, Frans, and Henry looked confused. They did not know yet about the other three factions in this city. Zander seemed to hide that from The First Order Guild, or maybe Herman just pretended not to know anything in front of them.
"They are the factions from the other worlds who participated in this Dimensional Tower, just like us but from another world that\'s not Earth. We are in a war against them. I will share with you a little bit of information about the two factions. They are the factions that have conquered several worlds, and because of Our Emperor, they seem to be targeting Earth now. They want to conquer Earth and have been trying to find Earth\'s location for quite some time."
Herman Bonivido had a hard time understanding the whole situation. That was too much information to dump at him. The participants from the other worlds, factions that conquered several worlds, and the real war they would face if they sided with the Tang Empire.
"If you don\'t understand, let\'s make it simpler. We are in a war against the factions that have experienced several dimensional towers. Are you sure you want to form an alliance with us?" Zhang Mengyao raised her right brow, "In their terms, we are newbies in this tower while they are the veterans. I am afraid they will be using The World Government and The Uprising Guild to locate the Earth\'s location."
Herman Bonivido looked at Frans, his trusted aide. The thing was much bigger than he thought, and the scarier part was the fact that the Tang Empire was still intact, missing the Emperor, despite fighting two factions at once. That just showed how formidable the Tang Empire was. However, just as Zhang Mengyao said, it would be different if the war was against another two formidable factions. The First Order Guild did not have enmity against the two mentioned factions, and they did not want to meddle in that muddy water.
Frans shook his head, indicating not to agree at the spot. They lacked so much information. The moment they arrived on the eleventh floor, they thought they caught up with the Tang Empire, and there were no other participants other than the factions from Earth. With the new information, they would make different decisions, including the alliance.
"Let\'s make an alliance!" Herman Bonivido did not heed his Vice Guild Leader\'s advice and made the decision on the spot, "I don\'t know how strong The Federation of Allurion and The Divine Church are, but we have to fight sooner or later if they decide to invade the Earth. I don\'t plan to join the World Government, and I don\'t plan to be ruled by factions outside the Earth. I have no choice but to fight, with the Tang Empire or without The Tang Empire."
Zhang Mengyao snapped her finger, "Let\'s make the alliance and sign the contract right away." The contract did not hold the power to punish the breacher, but it would help to find out if any party broke the contract. The moment the contract was broken, they knew how to act. That was the use of the contract, and Herman agreed to sign the contract.
"Guild Leader…" Frans wanted to persuade Herman to think it over again before making the alliance. He felt like this was too hasty.
Herman raised his right hand, motioning at his Vice Guild Leader to stop talking. He made the decision, and it was final. Kang Xue brought the contract and both sides discussed the terms for the alliance. It was a temporary alliance until they repelled the Federation of Allurion and the Divine Church from Earth if an invasion happened.
"I like talking with a decisive person like you. If you say you will think about it and come back later to propose the same alliance, I will decline your alliance proposal," Zhang Mengyao said after she dropped the blood on the contract.
"I guess I made the right decision then," Herman smiled as he secured the alliance with the Tang Empire, "I will not take your time anymore since you have another guest."
The First Order Guild left the meeting, leaving Zhang Mengyao, Cao Jingyi, Kang Xue, and Marshal Alton in the room. Marshal Alton could not hold back his curiosity anymore, "May I know why we form an alliance with them, Supreme Commander Zhang? I feel like nothing will change whether we form an alliance with them or not."
"Exactly. There\'s no harm in forming an alliance with them, but we gain a little advantage here," Zhang Mengyao smiled, "We don\'t have access to their territory, across the sea. We don\'t know what happened there unless we sent Li Na with her summon there. But we don\'t need to do that anymore because we have the First Order Guild to watch their area. They can relay some information in case the federation and the church enter the Earth through their area."
"Information. That\'s why we need information from them so we will be ready if they invade Earth. The First Order Guild will watch their continent while we focus on ours."
