Chapter 1587: Hydro Battlefield
Of course, Aquaria and Arid Expanse World were not about to bicker like kids.
After all, both of them answered to the Gallant Federation and Grand Apocalypse World.
Still, there was no denying that Aquaria bore responsibility for the crushing defeat on Marvelous Plane.
The interstellar mercenary who had withdrawn at the same time—the Rank Five Cerulean Crab King—also confirmed that the Rank Five Aquarian merman had been the first to disengage from the battlefield.
Out of a measure of restraint, the Cerulean Crab King described the merman’s action as a “withdrawal” rather than a “flight”.
Even so, it was Arid Expanse World that ultimately suffered the heaviest losses in the conflict. After a period of heated wrangling and deliberation, a final decision was made.
Orven, the young Rank Six Ocean King, personally declared that Aquaria would assume responsibility for the Marvelous Plane front to atone for their earlier failure.
Since the Ocean King had spoken, the Rank Four and Rank Five beings of the Arid Expanse World could only move on from the matter.
What surprised many was Seiron’s reaction. The most fearsome existence of Arid Expanse World, infamous for his fury, cruelty, and bloodlust, made no move against Aquaria and appeared indifferent to the entire matter altogether.
Under the shadow of Seiron’s lingering authority, the other four Rank Five beings of Arid Expanse World dared not voice any dissatisfaction.
Ever since Seiron had broken through the peak of Rank Six with the Gallant Federation’s aid and grasped even greater power, he had grown increasingly low-key and silent.
Meanwhile, Aquaria’s military mobilization was anything but modest.
