141: Covenant of the Radiant City

Lord Su gently set down the teacup in his hand, the sound particularly clear in the quiet reception room.

"Your Excellency should understand that we are not natives of this world."

At these words, the previously harmonious atmosphere in the reception room became somewhat tense.

The expressions of the few clerics behind Apolosi changed slightly, and a hint of vigilance flashed in their eyes.

Apolosi, however, remained calm. She quietly gazed at Lord Su, awaiting his next words.

"Our enemies, or rather, the enemies of the entire Blue Star Alliance, are the Dark Star Empire and the Three-Eyed Race."

Lord Su's voice was unhurried.

"This war that erupted in Woma World is merely a microcosm, an outpost for a grander battlefield."

"Our primary mission is to utterly defeat them here, and then return to the true main battlefield—the Boundless Sea."

He candidly laid out the Blue Star Alliance's strategic objectives without any concealment.

Such honesty was far more effective at gaining trust than any flowery words.

"Therefore, while exploring the secret realm is important, it cannot interfere with our core plan of eliminating the enemy."

"Infinite City, and indeed the entire Blue Star Alliance, cannot at this moment divert its main forces to embark on an uncertain adventure."

Apolosi's golden eyes calmly met Lord Su's, showing no surprise whatsoever.

She nodded slightly, "I understand, Lord Su."

She paused, and a hint of coldness entered her tone.

"In fact, I desire the demise of those fellows even more than you. The betrayal of Ignis and Echidna had their shadow behind it. The Dark Star Empire and the Three-Eyed Race are also the sworn enemies of Radiant City."

The words of this legendary Guardian were impactful, and they also relaxed the tense nerves of the clerics behind her.

It turned out that their Guardian had long seen through the situation.

"Since our enemies are common,"

Apolosi's gaze swept over Lord Su, finally resting on Bai Xiao beside him.

"Then, Radiant City is willing to formally ally with the Blue Star Alliance."

"On this land, we will fight alongside you to thoroughly clear out all Dark Star Empire and Three-Eyed Race forces entrenched in Woma World."

A formal alliance with an Eternal City!

The weight of this promise was enough to change the direction of the entire world's war.

"As for the Red Mist Secret Realm,"

Apolosi continued, "Radiant City will organize an advance team to enter and explore. I hope the Blue Star Alliance can also dispatch an elite squad to act in conjunction."

She did not demand the main force but proposed a highly pragmatic request.

"We don't need to solve the problem immediately, but we must know... what exactly we are facing."

After she finished speaking, the entire reception room fell silent once more.

Lord Su's fingers gently rubbed the rim of the teacup, his thoughts racing.

It had to be said, Apolosi was a leader of immense wisdom and courage.

The conditions she offered left the Blue Star Alliance with no reason to refuse.

Sending a small team for strategic reconnaissance was a controllable risk, yet the potential rewards were immeasurable.

More importantly, the alliance with Radiant City would completely end the suspense of this war.

Besides, wasn't Bai Xiao's earlier action precisely for this moment?

Lord Su looked up, a smile on his face.

"Your Excellency, you have successfully persuaded me."

He then turned to Bai Xiao beside him: "Bai Xiao, secure the area."

Bai Xiao understood. Immediately, an invisible sword intent instantly enveloped the entire Lords Manor.

All sounds, light and shadow, and even the flow of air outside the reception room, were isolated.

The expressions of the few clerics from Radiant City changed slightly.

They felt as if they had been separated from the entire world, placed in a realm of absolute silence, a domain of sword blades, and were inwardly astonished.

Lord Su then unhurriedly tapped the void in front of him, and a virtual light screen composed of data streams instantly unfolded.

On the light screen, three figures appeared almost simultaneously.

The person on the left, with a burly physique and resolute features, was none other than the military bigwig, Dragon Battle.

Behind him appeared to be a steel fortress, and the faint roar of engines could be heard.

The person on the right, with long blue hair draped over his shoulders and an elegant demeanor, was Ling Feng, the Head of Tiance Manor.

Behind him was a massive star chart, with countless points of light slowly revolving.

The person in the middle, with a steady and dignified countenance, was Zhou Yong, who was overseeing the rear.

"Lord Su? Such an urgent highest-level communication, did something happen on your end?"

Dragon Battle's voice was like a great bell, direct and straightforward.

"No."

Lord Su moved aside, revealing Apolosi behind him, "Let me introduce you to a new ally."

The three people on the other end of the light screen, upon seeing Apolosi, were all stunned, even though they were seasoned veterans.

"Your Excellency Apolosi of Radiant City?"

Ling Feng was the first to react, his usually calm, smiling face now filled with astonishment.

"How could she..." Zhou Yong also looked surprised.

Dragon Battle, however, directly turned his gaze to Lord Su, his eyes full of question marks.

Lord Su wasted no time, quickly reiterating Apolosi's intentions, her conjectures about the secret realm, and the proposal for an alliance.

After listening, there was silence on the other end of the light screen for a full ten seconds.

"I agree..."

Dragon Battle was the first to speak, a hint of joy on his usually serious face, "An Eternal City as an ally will greatly accelerate our progress."

Ling Feng gently closed the bamboo slip in his hand, a sharp glint in his eyes.

"This is feasible. The retreat of the red mist was already suspicious; if there are enemy contingencies, they can be eliminated in advance. Your Excellency Apolosi's alliance will completely secure our victory."

Zhou Yong listened to their opinions and finally made the decision: "Since you all have no objections, on behalf of the military, I approve this alliance and joint operation."

"Lord Su, you will be fully responsible for the specific matters. If you need any resources, apply directly to the military. It will be given the highest priority!"

"Good." Lord Su nodded and ended the communication.

The entire process took only two or three minutes.

The few clerics behind Apolosi were already dumbfounded.

Their Radiant City's major diplomatic decision, which had been deliberated for thousands of years, was settled in a few words by these outsiders?

Such efficiency was simply incredible.

Apolosi's eyes also showed approval.

The strength of the Blue Star Alliance lay not only in individual combat power but also in this efficient, pragmatic, and unified decision-making system.

"Then, Your Excellency."

Lord Su looked at Apolosi again and extended his hand, "Welcome to the team, ally."

Apolosi looked at Lord Su's outstretched hand, paused slightly, then also extended her fair hand and gently shook his.

"A pleasure to work with you, Lord Su."

This handshake symbolized the official alignment of one of Woma World's oldest Guardian forces with the overlord from another realm.

...

A moment later, an announcement, bearing the seals of both Radiant City and the Blue Star Alliance military, spread throughout Woma World via the Blue Star Alliance's public channel.

[Alliance Announcement: Following friendly negotiations, Radiant City has formally entered into a comprehensive strategic alliance with us. Effective immediately, both parties will jointly clear out all remaining Dark Star Empire and Three-Eyed Race forces in Woma World.]

As soon as the announcement was made, the entire Alliance channel exploded.

"What the f*ck? Am I seeing things? An Eternal City? That legendary Radiant City?"

"We've allied with an Eternal City? Are you kidding me! That's the only faction with a legendary powerhouse right now!"

"It's true! The announcement has Radiant City's seal. I had someone knowledgeable check it, and it's a real Holy Seal of Light!"

"Alliance is awesome!! This is like directly recruiting the strongest local NPC faction!"

"What's there left to fight for! What can the enemy use against us? We were already stomping them, and now we have another legendary ally. They might as well start picking where they want to reincarnate!"

"Dark Star Empire and Three-Eyed Race: Let me say, thank you..."

"Hahahaha, I just want to see what that old fox Maergan's expression is like now. Doesn't he foresee the future? Did he foresee this?"

Ecstasy, an unbelievable ecstasy, swept over all Blue Star Lords like a tsunami.

If defeating two legendary powerhouses and routing Kasa and Lilith had sounded the trumpet of victory,

then at this moment, the alliance with Radiant City had directly nailed the coffin lid shut on the outcome of this war, and then welded it tight for good measure.

From this point on, the war in Woma World held no more suspense.
