Chapter 407 - 406: From Opposition to Unity
During the conflict between the Wandering Alliance and the Dense Civilization.
The Metal Civilization and the Titan Civilization also broke out in war in another corner of space.
However, compared to the entirety of the Titan Civilization, the Metal Civilization was internally divided, a rather dire situation.
To resolve the current state of affairs, the incumbent government of the Metal Civilization could only dispatch the Metallic Battle Stars to fend off the Titan onslaught while trying to quickly eliminate internal strife. If internal strife isn’t resolved, external threats can hardly be addressed.
Therefore, the Metal Civilization used the Titan Civilization’s attacks as a pretext, requesting the Reform Faction to postpone their reform efforts until the Titan threat was repelled or eliminated before discussing long-term plans. However, this proposal was rejected by the Reform Faction as they regarded the government’s words as perfunctory. Consequently, the Reform Faction set forth their demands, agreeing to join forces against the Titan Civilization only if reforms were assured.
Moreover, the Reform Faction insisted that the reform details should be designed and directed by their team.
As expected, the current government of the Metal Civilization would certainly not agree to these terms. After all, if the Reform Faction took the reins, the future of the Metal Civilization was uncertain, and their power and interests would not be secured. Thus, they explicitly refused the Reform Faction’s terms. With neither side willing to compromise, they once again broke off negotiations at the table.
In light of this impasse, Wandering felt somewhat guilty.
After all, the Metal Civilization was retaliated against by the Titan Civilization purely because they aided the Wandering Alliance.
Although both parties had reached transactional terms, after Wandering’s arrival in the Metal Civilization, there were no hostile treatments; overall, the Metal Civilization hadn’t wronged him or the Wandering Alliance. Yet now they were facing reprisals from the Titan Civilization due to past actions, prompting Wandering to feel a sense of remorse.
