Chapter 936: Chapter 414: Alliance Conference (Part 2)
Fang Konglin’s words made sense, and as he spoke, the people present fell into silence.
Indeed, once they retreat this time, it will surely give the Nine Realms Dynasty a chance to catch their breath and the time to gradually erode the Nine Domains.
However, if they do not retreat, then on the family side… it will really be ruined.
“Everyone.”
Seeing the tangled expressions of the family spokespeople present, Fang Konglin first turned his head to look at Nie Sanling. After receiving a slight nod from him, he continued, “Could everyone listen to me for a moment longer?”
A few people who had already been persuaded by Fang Konglin spoke up, “Family Head Fang, if you have more to say, please do.”
“Good.” Fang Konglin nodded with satisfaction, then smiled and said, “You all hold your family’s heavy troops. I, Fang, will say something treasonous: Even if your family’s foundations are destroyed, as long as you remain, the family legacy will not be cut off. Think about your domains; maybe… the Sky Domain is more suitable for everyone.”
As soon as this was said, the audience fell silent.
In the context of the family system, Fang Konglin’s words were indeed extremely treasonous, but they were still very reasonable.
Take the eighteen families exterminated by Solomon, for instance. Their families were indeed destroyed, but their spokespeople still control most of the family’s heavy forces. Moreover, most of these are the elite of the past families. As long as there is a suitable world to settle in, rebuilding the family is actually not difficult. Furthermore, these family spokespeople have naturally taken the family head positions, but… is this suitable world really the Sky Domain?
Fang Konglin’s treasonous words had indeed struck a chord with these family spokespeople, causing their hearts to move, but such words were hard to openly agree with. Hence, as Fang Konglin finished speaking, the scene was silent.
Seeing the expressions of those in front of him, Fang Konglin knew his task was complete, and then he cupped his hands toward Nie Sanling.
Looking at Fang Konglin returning to his seat, Nie Sanling felt quite satisfied. If Fang Konglin weren’t such an ungrateful white-eyed wolf, Nie Sanling would truly be reluctant to deal with him.
However, now is not the time to think about these matters.
“Ahem!” Nie Sanling glanced around the circle and then said, “Everyone.”
“Alliance Hierarch.”
Seeing Nie Sanling, who had been silent, speaking up, everyone’s attention turned to him.
As the Alliance Hierarch of the Six Domains Alliance, his power is indeed significant. When the Six Domains Alliance was first founded, Shen Lianxin of the Shen family held this position as both the Alliance Hierarch and the Grand Marshal.
If it weren’t for the trap the Shanhai Chonglou family head set for the Six Domains Alliance at the cost of millions of soldiers’ lives, Shen Lianxin wouldn’t have lost credibility in the Six Domains Alliance. After numerous internal power struggles within the alliance, Nie Sanling paid countless efforts and finally ousted Shen Lianxin.
Even up to the moment before Shen Lianxin stepped down, the strategy against Shanhai Chonglou was still strictly followed per Shen Lianxin’s instructions.
To say the Six Domains Alliance is loose would be very wrong. When the alliance was first established, to unite the front and centralized coordination, each participating family signed highly binding agreements, the most important of which was allegiance to the Alliance Hierarch’s command.
Therefore, even though those eighteen family spokespeople knew their families were destroyed and felt heartbroken, yearning to fly back immediately to the Long and Broad Domains for revenge against Solomon, they had no choice but to suppress their anger and dared not withdraw troops from the frontline to return to their families.
“Everyone,” Nie Sanling continued, “I believe you’ve all heard what Family Head Fang said. I won’t express any further suggestions, but I think it’s necessary to promise you that as long as I, Nie Sanling, remain Marshal of the Six Domains Alliance, once the Nine Realms Dynasty is destroyed, I will ensure that the families who suffer greatly from this war receive enough compensation. They will also be granted the most fertile world in the Sky Domain to rebuild their homes!”
Hearing Nie Sanling’s words, most people in the hall became somewhat excited, as this was clearly Nie Sanling’s assurance in response to Fang Konglin’s words. This assurance indeed settled their minds, no longer wavering between retreating.
Yes, so what if the families behind them are destroyed? As long as they survive, the family can rise from the ashes. Besides, settling in the Sky Domain in the future is a hundred, a thousand times better than their own family’s former tiny territory.
“Marshal, this matter should be collectively discussed by those present to determine if it should be included in the alliance agreement.”
This was when someone stood up to make a suggestion to Nie Sanling.
The Marshal’s power in the Six Domains Alliance is significant but not absolute. Especially on matters concerning the overall interests of the alliance, members need to vote. With the approval of more than half, it can take effect.
Upon hearing this, Nie Sanling chuckled: “Aren’t I discussing this with you all right now?”
With that, Nie Sanling looked up at everyone, “Do you agree with my suggestion?”
“Of course, we agree.”
“We must agree!”
“Alliance Hierarch Nie is righteous!”
Voices of agreement echoed, and soon, Nie Sanling’s policy was passed with more than ninety percent approval and included in the important treaties of the Six Domains Alliance.
“Marshal Nie,” at this moment, those who didn’t agree to this treaty stood and spoke, “Are we just going to let the people of the Nine Realms Dynasty run amok behind our backs and slaughter wantonly?”
To this, Nie Sanling shook his head and said, “Your families haven’t committed all their forces. Previously, these people hid their tracks and silenced witnesses, which delayed the revelation of the news. Now that your families are aware of these people’s existence, they will certainly organize troops to counterattack. We’ve always discussed the worst-case scenario, but in reality, things don’t have to develop that way. I believe at this moment, your families are already united and discussing strategies to deal with those massive invading forces that had infiltrated the Six Domains’ hinterland.”
Nie Sanling spoke as he stood and walked to the center of the hall, then said in a deep voice, “The purpose of establishing the Six Domains Alliance back then was to crusade against the Nine Realms Dynasty and dismantle the Sky Domain’s ambition to rule the entire Nine Domains. It was to defend our homeland and fight for our future. In this battle, we cannot retreat. Once we retreat, the Nine Realms Dynasty’s ambition will be unstoppable. At that time, not only will those who stand behind us silently supporting us be sacrificed in vain, but so will we. The Nine Realms Dynasty’s insane actions at this moment also prove they are at their wits’ end!
I,
Nie Sanling,
as the Grand Marshal of the Six Domains Alliance, hereby order that in three days, the Six Domains Alliance will launch a full-scale attack on the Nine Realms Dynasty. In this battle, we shall not rest until we capture Weyang City!”
Upon hearing the order from Nie Sanling, everyone in the hall looked serious and stood up to bow to Nie Sanling, “We will comply with the Grand Marshal’s order!”
As the meeting concluded, Nie Sanling returned to his study, where a person had been waiting for some time.
Seeing the middle-aged man reclining in a chair with his eyes closed, Nie Sanling’s face immediately turned grim, “What are you doing here?!”
Upon hearing Nie Sanling’s questioning, the middle-aged man smiled slightly, opened his eyes, and said, “Brother, long time no see!”
“I don’t have a brother like you!” Nie Sanling turned away coldly and sat at his desk, glaring at his brother, “You’re dead, why have you come back?”
“I said brother, now that you’ve gained tremendous benefit, won’t you at least look after your brother like a stray dog?”
“I have nothing to discuss with you. You’d better leave before I change my mind!”
“Heh, brother, don’t try scaring me. You know I have a weak heart, can’t handle threats. Once threatened, I can’t control what I say.”
Upon hearing this, a trace of murderous intent flashed in Nie Sanling’s eyes, and he spoke in a chilling tone, “I shouldn’t have shown mercy back then and spared your life. I didn’t expect you, Nie Feng, to repay kindness with enmity. The Nie Family truly wasted a hundred years raising you.”
