Chapter 1704: Chapter 106: The Age of No Gods (Part 2)
After the mysterious elder finished speaking, many of the powerful individuals present began whispering among themselves.
Hudson, who was unfamiliar with these old folks, simply closed his eyes to rest at his seat. Deep down, he was busy seeking information about the elder.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard he searched, there was no information matching the elder. But being able to attend this meeting meant the person was a local strongman of the Kingdom.
“Senior, you can’t say that!
Starting a war is easy, but ending it triumphantly is difficult; we are not yet ready for war.
The Kingdom’s poor geographical location dictates that we must treat war with caution; a slight mistake could result in a multifaceted enemy assault.
If it really involves the Road to Becoming a God, the Human Race countries might not be reliable.
This Cataclysm of ten thousand years should not start from the Kingdom!”
Hudson immediately responded.
Not knowing the identity wasn’t important; since he had shown himself, Hudson would know him after the meeting ended.
As the Commander-in-chief of the Kingdom’s three armies, he didn’t want the Kingdom to be drawn into the flames prematurely.
If everyone present had a unified standpoint, he might have chosen to compromise, but now with everyone’s standpoints divided, there was no need to yield.
“The Marshal is right; we should not be the initiators of disasters.
In recent years, the Kingdom has been at war year after year, and it’s a time when people and horses are exhausted; the military and civilians need time to recuperate.
According to the established plan, we can act when we’re prepared, but not too early.
There are not even Third Order of Sanctuary powerhouses on the Continent right now; even if the Road to Becoming a God opens, everyone can only watch!”
Robert spoke in agreement, followed by numerous newly breakthrough Sanctuary powerhouses.
Compared to the ancient relics who left three hundred years, these new entrants to the Sanctuary had much deeper feelings for the Kingdom.
At the summit meeting of the Peak Strong, their voice was very limited, but following along when someone else speaks was still possible.
Seeing this scene, Alpha the First instantly felt awkward.
He was busy gathering external strongmen, not realizing his juniors were jumping out to oppose.
After all, having been a King, recalling the Kingdom’s recent experiences, he realized his carelessness.
Alpha Kingdom’s military strength was indeed strong but did not mean the domestic military and civilians could continuously withstand high-intensity wars.
A brief three-year respite only allowed the Kingdom to take a breath, with severe shortages in all aspects of material reserves.
Agriculture indeed had a great harvest, but training soldiers takes a toll on food supply. Even the reserve forces need a full stomach before battle power is a talk.
Whose Kingdom is it, who cherishes it.
If the excellent situation got ruined, even regaining position wouldn’t bring much help.
“Everyone misunderstood!
The Human Alliance is a whole; as a part of the Human Race, we must align with the race’s steps.
If the Alliance decides to initiate a Continental war, the Kingdom cannot be alone and unaffected.
Today’s gathering is primarily to exchange thoughts on the situation and insights on cultivation.
…”
With just a few simple words, the situation was pulled back, and Hudson witnessed Alpha the First’s adaptability for the first time.
The Kingdom is not suitable for immediately initiating an external war, but once a Continental war erupts, there is no right to refuse participation.
The poor geographical layout destined Alpha Kingdom to be a main force in the war.
Either to beat others or be beaten by others. Preparing ahead is definitely correct.
Of course, these words were superfluous.
According to Alpha Kingdom’s tradition, everyone who has the ability will prepare for war.
Recent years of victories haven’t extinguished this tradition, but rather the warlike spirit has intensified.
In such a large environment, every ambitious Noble child desires to make a name on the battlefield.
The meeting ended hastily, and everyone directly entered the stage of exchanges, quickly enlivening the scene.
Sanctuary powerhouses are rarely seen, and having a gathering of Sanctuary powerhouses for exchanges is even rarer.
Unfortunately attending were Caesar IV and numerous Ministers, but there wasn’t a trace of a smile on their faces.
Can’t understand, genuinely can’t understand!
Their own realms weren’t sufficient, and they hadn’t touched the laws yet. Trying to comprehend them was exceedingly torturous.
No matter how painful, a few were still entirely focused on listening.
A dream of the Sanctuary must be had; what if one day it gets realized!
Hudson, participating in the exchanges, felt completely different.
As a Novice Saint Territory, listening to the exchanges, many confused areas were directly clarified.
From the smiles on the faces of many Santurary individuals, it was evident everyone gained considerably. Alpha the First spoke the most.
After the exchange meeting started, the atmosphere inside the great hall quickly became harmonious. Originally displeased with Alpha the First, Hudson now had no animosity.
Cultivation is difficult; receiving guidance from these predecessors can save many detours. Although he shared his insights as well, their value was clearly of a different level.
If not for the inherently mysterious rule of fate, everyone would suspect he was being deceitful. When Hudson spoke, everyone was utterly confused.
Human nature is this way; obtaining benefits from Alpha the First directly altered Hudson’s perception of him.
After all, besides the issue of contention for position, Hudson and Alpha the First had no conflict in other areas.
This event indeed had an element of winning hearts, but the cultivation insights Alpha the First shared were genuine; everyone had to acknowledge this kindness.
