Today's fourth update: Chapter 2984! 4/4!
The alliance between the Black Tortoise Race and the Crocodile Race had been reinforced over countless years through various means, including marriage alliances—especially the union between the Eight Wise Kings and Ting Sha Piaoliang.
And Si was precisely a crucial link maintaining the close bond between these two powerful races!
He was not only the Black Tortoise Crown Prince, but also the Crocodile Lord's beloved grandson, representing the Crocodile Race's interests within the Black Tortoise Race!
Now, that crucial link had been severed! In time, the seemingly solid friendship between the two races would inevitably develop a rift that could not be healed!
If, in this joint campaign against the Huang Race, the position of commander-in-chief could be handed to the Crocodile Lord's biological grandson's maternal uncle—the Crocodile Race's highly anticipated Imperial Realm prodigy and reincarnated demigod, She Tu Renekton—it would undoubtedly be the greatest gesture of goodwill and sincerity toward the entire Crocodile Race and the Crocodile Lord!
It could be called a masterstroke in consolidating the alliance between the two races and healing the wound caused by Si's death!
As Erh's voice fell, the entire royal court sank into brief silence.
Then, a highly respected old Turtle King slowly rose to his feet and solemnly bowed toward Erh and the Eight Wise Kings. His voice was filled with admiration. "Crown Prince Ni is truly farsighted, planning for the race's future generations in ways beyond the reach of short-sighted people like us! This old man... fully agrees that She Tu Renekton should serve as commander-in-chief of this Wild Hunt Operation!"
"I second that!"
"I second it as well!"
Erh's clearly reasoned, steadily escalating court defense, which struck straight at the heart of the matter, finally won the acclaim of the entire hall!
