Barien's words left Gu Ding and the others somewhat confused.
"Mr. Barien, what do you mean by that? Why would Elsa's bloodline awakening result determine what the War God Palace does?" Gu Ding could not help asking.
Only then did Barien begin to explain. "You should all know that the War God Palace is one of the five Seven-Star Holy Lands on the Main Plane. The reason the Seven-Star Holy Lands are called Seven-Star Holy Lands is because they possess incredibly deep foundations, far beyond the reach of other forces. Even setting aside their foundations and speaking only of overall strength, our Viking Clan still falls somewhat short of the War God Palace. Standing against the War God Palace is actually an extremely dangerous matter for our Viking Clan."
"Although our Viking Clan is inferior to the War God Palace, that does not mean we lack the courage to fight. If both sides truly tore off all pretenses, then even if our Viking Clan were annihilated in the end, the War God Palace would probably be unable to keep its position among the Seven-Star Holy Lands. That is not something they wish to see either."
"However, because the price would be too great, our Viking Clan cannot bear the War God Palace's wrath on your behalf. Unless..."
As Barien spoke, he looked toward Elsa.
At that moment, Miko, who stood nearby, spoke up.
"Unless Sister Elsa's status carries enough weight within your Viking Clan! In other words, only if Sister Elsa becomes a Saint King in the Awakening Pool will you stand up for her and bear the War God Palace's wrath. If Sister Elsa merely advances to Saint Lord Level, that will not be enough to make you act."
"Young friend Miko, you truly are as the rumors say.
