Chapter 1570: Chapter 58: Things Escalated_3
This is an extraordinary world, where strongmen are destined to have more privileges.
After staying at the peak for a long time, many strongmen have developed a sense of seeing everyone else as ants.
This innate contempt is very uncomfortable. Yet, these rulers are best at understanding human nature.
The difference in strength is huge, but when it comes to playing mind games, they are no less skilled than those ancient figures.
It seems like they get along well, but in reality, even among family members, there are gaps.
Compared to these ordinary juniors, the ancestors prefer those juniors who have already broken through to the Sanctuary, followed by the geniuses within the race.
It seems as if these people are their peers, while the rest are just leftovers.
Even if one is the Emperor, people merely give face symbolically; in essence, they are still “leftovers.” It’s impossible not to have a bit of resentment over such a disparity.
…
A similar scene occurred in the Iberia Kingdom.
Likewise, being forced into a tough spot, the high-levels of Iberia also do not wish to rashly start a continental war without being fully prepared.
However, those making decisions were their own ancestors; directly refusing them would sour relations, making it a hassle when needing to rally people in the future.
Now with the Alpha Kingdom opposing, they conveniently took advantage of the situation.
Without the suppression of the three major nations, representatives from various nations, who could barely suppress their impatience, started proposing in the Alliance Council.
Resolutions from the secret meeting were tacitly ignored by everyone since they hadn’t participated anyway.
On the surface, the highest power in the Alliance is still the Alliance Council, which stipulates in its acts that councilors can propose if a certain number is reached.
Within a few short days, troubled nation representatives coordinated efforts, with over two hundred councilors signing the proposal.
This directly created a new record in Human Alliance history; previously, the largest proposal had just over fifty councilors signing.
The number of participants in the proposal directly exceeded half of the permanent Alliance council seats, creating a bizarre spectacle of a proposal passed before a vote began.
The Presidium has the right to exercise veto power, but such a proposal with an unprecedentedly unified stance from all sides inherently represents the positions of the three major nations.
As time ticked away, the meeting deciding the continent’s future destiny is already into its opening countdown.
The continent’s attention has converged on Lutesya; all sides are waiting for the Human Alliance to make a resolution so they can formulate their next countermeasures.
Hudson, watching the Blood Moon Frontline, was still unaware that his letter of inquiry helped Caesar IV make a decision, causing an uproar across the continent.
Like countless onlookers, he is currently busy watching the spectacle. The Communication Magic Array rings every so often, with new messages relayed back every day.
Now he and Governor Piers are no longer discussing the Dark Forest battlefield, but whether the human race’s old figures will interfere with the Alliance’s resolution.
“Marshal, if those ancestors forcibly intervene in the Council’s decision, how should we respond?”
Governor Piers couldn’t help but ask.
At the moment, he really has no confidence, especially after receiving the King’s reply; his confidence is lost.
If the human race ancestors are all like Alpha the First and bypass the Kingdom Government, independently making decisions for all sides leading to the current fierce backlash, the consequences could be serious.
“Your Excellency Governor, the situation should not be so dire!
Direct interference in Alliance Council resolutions, treating the Alliance’s code as nothing, once such a precedent is set, the credibility of the Human Alliance will be gone.
This table-flipping behavior benefits no one.
If they really collapse the Alliance, losing the human race’s continental hegemony, their plans become even harder to realize.
These are all old figures; they shouldn’t act impulsively. Even if this plan fails, they can wait for next time.
The most severe consequence is merely a few years of silence. Once nations recover their vitality, everyone will naturally coordinate with them.
