"Ah?"
Whether it was the Sino-Japanese Alliance or the French Expeditionary Force, everyone was left blank-faced after hearing Zhang Yulin and Utsunomiya Taro echoing each other.
Yes, the two sides were hostile, and they had even fought each other bloody.
But even so, when their strength was roughly equal and neither side was certain of victory, they normally would not launch an all-out war!
So what was this supposed to mean...
Rumor had it that Utsunomiya Taro and Zhang Yulin had once both taken part in a Mission Space war. Utsunomiya Taro had suffered a major loss, and only he and a handful of others from the Sino-Japanese Alliance had escaped the entire Mission Space. Perhaps that mission was where the grudge between the two sides had begun.
New grudges and old hatred, all coming together!
"What does Princess Shirley think?"
Ande Hai's face was ashen. He then looked toward Shirley, his constantly shifting expression seeming to hint at something.
Though he was somewhat stronger than Utsunomiya Taro, he truly could not disregard his words!
This was an important figure representing the Kwantung Army Advance Group! There were many things the Qing Court needed to rely on them for!
So at this moment, he still hoped Shirley would say something.
Give them a way out...
Shirley tilted her head, seemingly deep in thought.
"If we're going to fight, then fight. We were going to fight sooner or later..."
Smack~
Béton slapped a hand over his face, then slowly slid it downward as he forced out a smile.
His inner drama was intense.
Unreasonable!
The same despairing thought rose in Béton, Ande Hai, and Prince Su's hearts.
But what else could they do?
The Beiyang Alliance's authority rested with Zhang Yulin, while that of the French Expeditionary Force rested with Shirley.
