165: Chapter 165 Elder Long Bets the Nation's Fate
One Ninth Rank and two Ninth Ranks were concepts from completely different dimensions!
Lin Feng, while at the Eighth Rank, could already pin the three leaders of the enemy nations to the ground and rub them into the dirt. Now that he had reached the Ninth Rank, just how monstrous his strength had become... no one dared to even think about it.
Suppressing the wild joy in his heart, Old Long coughed twice, signaled for Lin Feng to take a seat, and began to get to the point.
As the Supreme Commander of the entire army, Lin Feng naturally sat firmly in the center of the first row.
In the back row, Gu Ze craned his neck, his eyes filled with curiosity and excitement.
He was probably wondering how his good brother had managed to jump several major ranks in just a few months.
Facing the fervent gazes of those around him, Lin Feng rubbed his nose and gave a tactical cough.
Old Long's expression turned solemn as he reported the latest combat situation.
Just this morning, the Great Xia Alliance's number one core mining area suffered a devastating invasion by powerful enemies from outside the territory.
The entire mining area was forcibly seized by the alien race!
Fortunately, the garrison troops had received word in advance and evacuated in time, which was the only reason they saved their lives.
The loss of the core mining area showed that this group of wanderers from outside the territory had become increasingly rampant.
If they were not suppressed with thunderous means, they would sooner or later bring the flames of war to the real Main World!
It was not just the Great Xia Alliance.
Within a short month, several vital mining areas of the Blood Moon Empire, Mad Bear Empire, and Star Eagle Federation had also been successively looted by foreign enemies.
This series of moves had directly infuriated the other Three Great Empires as well.
"How do you intend to respond?" After hearing the military situation, Lin Feng pondered for a moment before asking.
"Right now, it is a matter of life and death facing the entire Main World."
Old Long said in a heavy tone, "The enemy forces from the outer territories are extremely powerful. During the bloody battles thousands of years ago, Great Xia lost countless Ninth Rank heroes. If we do not cast aside our previous grudges and huddle together for warmth, our Main World will definitely suffer severe damage! We might even face the crisis of extinction!"
"I hope that the four super Empires can swiftly form a unified front to jointly resist the alien invasion!"
An Alliance!
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire council chamber erupted like boiling water.
It felt even more surreal, especially coming from Old Long's mouth.
For thousands of years, the four Empires had been tripping each other up, wishing they could destroy one another.
It was already good enough that they could maintain restraint and not go to war, yet now they were actually going to form a multinational coalition army?
But reason told everyone that this was likely the only way to survive.
The powerful enemies from outside the territory were eyeing them covetously, and these guys even had old monsters of the Pseudo-God level hidden in their ranks.
If they did not join forces, no one would survive.
"Lin Feng, what do you think?" Seeing the crowd arguing in a mess, Old Long threw the ball directly to Lin Feng.
The hall instantly fell silent.
That's right, the current Lin Feng was the bona fide strongest person in the Main World!
In terms of seniority, he might not be as high as Old Long, but in terms of fists, no one present dared to question him.
Everyone knew that only if this God of Slaughter nodded could the plan truly be implemented.
"Form a coalition..."
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, calculating rapidly in his heart.
After stepping into the Ninth Rank, it was the best time to widely recruit vassal gods and crazily harvest faith.
Anyway, his strength was solid now, and he had no fear of the True God above the Main World.
Even if he were discovered, at worst, he could just drive the Chaos Territory and escape into the depths of the Void Realm.
Forming a four-nation coalition would definitely have bumps in the short term, but in the long run, it was definitely an excellent stage for him to expand his map of believers.
Moreover, Old Long's analysis was very correct.
Foreign enemies were pressing on the border, and they even had Pseudo-Gods backing them up.
Continuing to consume each other from within would only let outsiders take advantage.
"I agree to the Alliance." Lin Feng said calmly, making the final decision.
Having received a clear answer.
The whispering offstage gradually subsided, and the vast majority of the generals chose to support this decision.
"Since everyone has no objections, I will contact the leaders of the other three nations now."
Old Long's will moved slightly, and three powerful Divine Thoughts were launched directly, piercing through the Void Realm.
Ninth Rank experts could conduct ultra-long-distance mental communication directly in the real world.
Lin Feng couldn't perceive it before, but now that he had stepped into the Ninth Rank, he could hear every single mental fluctuation in the surrounding Void Realm clearly.
A moment later, the three Divine Thoughts returned.
Lin Feng was fully capable of intercepting and deciphering them halfway, but he couldn't be bothered to waste the mental effort; the result would be revealed immediately anyway.
After receiving the information, Old Long's expression grew even more solemn: "The Star Eagle, Blood Moon, and Mad Bear sides have stated that they are willing to consider an Alliance, but a four-party talk must be opened immediately."
Faced with life and death, these high and mighty jackals had no choice but to put down their airs.
Otherwise, given the arrogant style of Star Eagle and Blood Moon, they wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to Great Xia's proposal at all.
For the next full hour or more.
Old Long continuously sent and received Divine Thoughts, engaging in a fierce war of words with the other three parties in the Void Realm.
Sometimes furious, sometimes with a face as dark as water.
The Eighth Rank commanders below could not hear the content of the conversation and could only stare helplessly and worry anxiously.
Lin Feng could hear it, but he found it noisy, so he simply closed his eyes to rest.
Finally, Old Long sent out the last Divine Thought and let out a long, relieved breath.
Everyone's heart was in their throat.
What was the result?
"The Three Great Empires have agreed to form a unified front."
Old Long said loudly, "However, the four-nation coalition must elect a Supreme Commander to exercise unified command."
A group of dragons cannot be without a leader; without a Supreme Commander, tens of millions of miscellaneous troops would just be loose sand.
But the candidate for this commander instantly became the biggest hot potato.
The leaders of the four nations were all Ninth Rank experts, and none of them would submit to the others.
If anyone were let to take the position, the other three families would definitely not agree.
"The other three families have decided to hold a four-party ultimate negotiation tomorrow morning. On the negotiating table, the ownership of the Supreme Commander will be settled."
Old Long rubbed his brows helplessly.
Decided by negotiation?
The council chamber erupted in an uproar again.
Everyone's strength was similar; wasn't the so-called negotiation just about who had more allies?
The Star Eagle Federation and the Blood Moon Empire had long been in cahoots; as long as they put on a little double act, they could definitely snatch the commander's position.
This kind of situation was extremely unfavorable to the Great Xia Alliance!
Unless... someone could jump out from the Great Xia side, a super monster whose strength completely crushed the sum of the other three families!
Using unreasonable, absolute force to forcibly suppress the whole place and snatch the commander's seal!
Thinking of this, the gazes of the hundred-plus commanders in the hall.
Swished over in unison, with great tacit understanding, and stared tightly at Lin Feng, who was sitting in the first row.
Lin Feng felt his whole body hair stand on end, and the corners of his mouth twitched wildly.
"...You guys, why are you staring at me!"
Popular people attract trouble; this saying was truly not false at all.
Lin Feng had thoroughly realized the weight of this sentence.
At the moment when over a hundred military giants in the hall cast their gazes over, Lin Feng had an idea in his heart.
For this position of coalition commander, besides himself, there was simply no one who could hold the fort.
"Lin Feng, are you willing to represent our Great Xia Alliance to attend this Peak talk?"
Old Long's gaze was like a torch, staring tightly at Lin Feng, his tone incomparably solemn.
This four-party talk not only concerned the ownership of the coalition's supreme command, but also determined the future national destiny of the entire Great Xia Alliance.
If the old foxes of the Blood Moon Empire or the Star Eagle Federation snatched the command.
In the future, the sons of Great Xia on the battlefield would definitely be treated as cannon fodder and pushed to the very front line to die, with no good days to speak of.
And Lin Feng, coincidentally, possessed the Heaven-Defying capital to turn the tide with absolute force.
Therefore, at this moment, Lin Feng had already become the only savior for the entire high-level Alliance.
"This..."
Lin Feng pondered slightly and did not give an answer immediately.
Sitting in the position of Alliance leader would undoubtedly make him a thorn in the side of the high-level experts of other factions.
But for the common people at the bottom, Lin Feng, who led the Main World to resist the alien powerful enemies, was definitely a savior hero revered by ten thousand families.
Of course, except for the scum of the Blood Moon Empire.
"No problem, I'll go."
Since things had developed to this point, Lin Feng couldn't be bothered to hesitate anymore.
As long as there was an opportunity for large-scale harvesting of incense from foreign countries, he would definitely not let it go.
As for becoming a thorn in the side of enemy leaders?
Let them hate.
In the face of power that crushes everything, even if they have more grievances in their hearts, they have to endure it for me.
If anyone dared to play dirty behind his back, Lin Feng would definitely strike without mercy and uproot them.
"Good! Refreshing! Tomorrow morning's four-party talk, I entrust you with full authority to represent Great Xia!"
In the eyes of Old Long looking at Lin Feng, there was full, undisguised admiration.
Although this young man was young, this spirit of taking responsibility without hesitation was not at all inferior to any of the veteran generals present.
Lin Feng could have shirked this kind of offensive task, but for the overall interests of Great Xia, he still decisively shouldered the banner.
"The future of Great Xia is all bet on you!"
Old Long's tone was sonorous.
Inside the council chamber, the eyes of the other high-ranking generals also burned with a raging fire of expectation.
Every time, this teenager could bring miracles that subverted common sense; this time, he would definitely be able to create brilliance again!
The top-secret decision to form an Alliance and resist the enemy was currently limited to the core high-level officials of each country.
Even the disaster of the large-scale invasion by alien powerful enemies was strictly locked in the hands of the highest military level.
Before the dust settled, not a single bit of news could be leaked to the general public.
Otherwise, once nationwide panic was triggered, the consequences would be unimaginable.
They had to wait until the situation was stable before finding a suitable opportunity to announce the truth to the whole world.
At least, before the coalition commander was officially finalized, absolute silence had to be maintained.
...
After the meeting finalized the details, everyone dispersed.
In the dead of night, Lin Feng returned to his exclusive villa, activated the positioning device, and locked the coordinate destination to the Void Realm buffer zone agreed upon by the Four Great Empires.
Old Long and the exclusive planes of a group of Great Xia military giants followed far behind to hold the line.
Firstly to witness this century negotiation, and secondly to prevent the enemy from jumping off the wall in desperation.
Although with Lin Feng's current monstrous combat power, it would be difficult to have an accident...
After entering the navigation instructions, Lin Feng fell directly onto the bed and slept with his head covered.
The next morning, Lin Feng woke up on time.
The representatives of the other three major factions also arrived at the venue one after another.
"Ding! Radar high-energy warning: A Ninth Rank Great World detected directly ahead!"
"Ding! Ninth Rank Great World detected directly ahead!"
