Volume 5 Chapter 146
by Need_More_SleepVolume 5 + Chapter 146: Declaration of The Alliance
All representatives awaited Yue Liu’s words, expecting her to announce the formation of the grand alliance.
After all, uniting the strength of nations was essential to counter the Dragon Clan.
Yet her response left everyone dumbfounded.
“Wolf King, I am pleased that you have given this matter serious consideration and responded to our fox clan. However, we will not be joining the grand alliance,” Yue Liu said.
“Huh?”
Wolf King Alex was stunned.
Representatives from other nations also looked confused, sharing the same question…
Why?
Under normal circumstances, the fox clan had no reason to refuse.
After all, the proposal had originally come from them, and they had worked tirelessly to bring it to fruition.
Now that many nations were willing, why reject it?
“Nine-Tailed Fox Emperor… surely this is a joke?”
“This is no April Fool’s Day, and in such a setting, who would joke?”
“Could there be another reason?”
Confusion spread among the crowd.
Wolf King Alex pondered seriously, convinced there must be a reason.
Perhaps the fox clan wished to lead the alliance.
After all, they had invested immense effort, and without their mediation, the alliance would be difficult to establish.
With the elves absent, it would be natural for the fox clan to seek leadership.
Having reached this conclusion, Alex spoke again.
“Nine-Tailed Fox Emperor, you must have other concerns. Rest assured, every nation recognizes the fox clan’s efforts. Should you wish to lead the alliance, our werewolf tribe will fully support you.”
The other representatives quickly understood.
“If the fox clan leads, I have no objections!!” the Troll King declared.
“The fox clan is indeed suited for that role,” said the giant representative.
“Nine-Tailed Fox Emperor, we all support you!” added the Dwarf King.
With such sincerity displayed, the fox clan should surely accept.
However, Yue Liu not only refused, she dropped a bombshell before all present.
“No matter the circumstances, the fox clan will not join the grand alliance, because we have already formed an alliance with another nation,” Yue Liu declared. “The fox clan is now allied with the Dragon Clan. I hereby announce this important relationship to the world!”
“What?!”
“How is that possible?!”
“The Dragon Clan? Truly?!”
Shock swept through the hall, none could believe their ears.
The uproar nearly overturned the entire venue.
Xia Yi was somewhat surprised, the little fox had chosen to reveal it publicly. Bold, as expected.
“This is bad, that annoying fox spirit is making her move!”
Miu Miu was displeased.
Wait… this isn’t how it was supposed to go. How did the fox clan end up with the Dragon Clan?
Whether alliance or acquaintance, I was supposed to be first…
The Dragon Clan’s only ally should have been the vampires!
The flying mouse fumed.
“… ”
Tia’s expression remained calm, she had already anticipated this possibility.
“Madness! Utter madness!”
Wolf King Alex pointed at Yue Liu, reacting fiercely.
“You are pushing the fox clan into the abyss!”
“Nine-Tailed Fox Emperor, I urge you to reconsider,” said the giant representative, his tone edged with threat.
“Such a declaration places you against all nations. Do you truly believe your clan can withstand the consequences?”
“Indeed, look at what became of the vampires! Persisting on this path will bring grave consequences!” the Troll King warned.
“Nine-Tailed Fox Emperor, retract your statement while you still can! You are the ruler of your people, you must think of your nation, not indulge in reckless words. Joining the grand alliance is the correct choice!”
The Dwarf King spoke sharply, attempting to pull the fox clan back.
An alliance between the Dragon Clan, Vampire Clan, and Fox Clan would be unprecedented.
Like adding fuel to the fire, it would embolden the dragons beyond restraint.
Thus, all nations sought to stop Yue Liu.
“If you truly ally with the Dragon Clan, we will sever all ties with the fox clan, diplomatic and trade alike!” threatened Wolf King Alex.
“We will do the same, we will treat the fox clan as an enemy,” the giant representative declared more aggressively.
“War may follow,” said the Dwarf King.
“War? How interesting. I can’t ignore that statement. Dwarf King, are you declaring war on my ally?”
A voice rang out, it was Xia Yi.
Under everyone’s gaze, the Silver Dragon Princess stepped beside Yue Liu, wearing a villainous smile as she looked at the Dwarf King.
“Dwarf King, repeat your words, declare war on the fox clan. The Dragon Clan will join the conflict. We will not allow any ill-intentioned race to harm our ally.”
“You…!”
The Dwarf King trembled with anger.
He had only meant to intimidate, who expected the Silver Dragon Princess to respond directly?
Now he was in an awkward position.
The alliance had not yet formed, if he truly declared war, the Dragon Clan would not hold back, and whether others would support him was uncertain.
“Why the silence, Dwarf King?” Xia Yi pressed knowingly.
“Or shall I declare war on your dwarven race right here?”
“I… I was joking. Don’t take it seriously, haha…”
The Dwarf King forced a laugh, sweating and humiliated.
He regretted speaking rashly.
“Anyone else wish to declare war? This is a fine opportunity,” Xia Yi said arrogantly. “The Dragon Clan welcomes any opponent.”
“… ”
Silence fell over the hall.
“My decision is final. The fox clan’s choice shall not be interfered with by outsiders,” Yue Liu declared firmly. “Let me state once more, the Fox Clan and the Dragon Clan are now allied in an unbreakable partnership. We will not join any other alliance.”
