Sunset Jungle, the Snake Gang headquarters.
In the center of the city, a building in the style of the Snake People Race stands, its structure exquisite and delicate, yet strangely eerie.
"I disagree? This isn't a peace agreement; it's a humiliating and unequal treaty that strips us of our rights! What 'stationing troops'? It's clearly ceding our territory! And these trade agreements—which one of them isn't just sucking the blood out of our Snake Gang?"
Beside the wooden table, the Madam Poison hysterically roared at the old snake king before her, her two soft mounds trembling beneath the pink veil, tracing a breathtaking arc.
The old snake king, Pudong, listened calmly to his "good daughter's" roar. His eyelids drooped, and he looked like he hadn't woken up yet, but his cloudy eyes held an unusual shrewdness and insight.
"Are you done? If you're done, then sign!" Pudong pointed his index finger at the paper document on the table.
"Impossible." Madam Poison firmly refused.
If she actually signs this agreement, her prestige within the Snake Gang will inevitably plummet. A leader who cannot fight for the interests of his subordinates will be overthrown sooner or later.
"You have to pay the price for your mistakes." Pudong raised his head, the turbidity in his pupils clearing away, leaving only a sharp, sword-like gaze.
Madam Poison's heart trembled, as if she had returned to her childhood, and her imposing aura weakened by three points.
Pudong continued, "Don't forget, the reason the Three-Eyed Race made peace wasn't because we defeated them, nor because we successfully stopped their offensive, but because the higher-ups made a compromise on our behalf. Whether you acknowledge it or not, it won't change the outcome."
Madam Poison gritted her teeth. Of course she understood all this. If it weren't for Frost Serpent Serpent's mediation, the Three-Eyed People would never have stopped.
Thus, the conflicted Madam Poison spent a full ten minutes before finally signing her name on the agreement.
After signing the papers, she slumped into the chair, as if she had lost all her bones and had no strength left.
Pudong finished organizing the documents and looked at the Madam Poison before him. "I told you long ago, conspiracies can only work temporarily, while strength is the only Eternity law. You haven't even investigated the true power of the Three-Eyed People, yet you rashly broke ties with him..."
"Father, I was wrong!" Madam Poison lowered her head, her expression sincere. "I will definitely learn from this lesson and lead the Snake Gang out of the shadows and towards glory."
Seeing this, Pudong raised an eyebrow and said, "The acting was good, but the movements were a bit exaggerated. Remember to correct that next time."
Madam Poison suddenly stood up. "Old man, don't you have any fatherly affection left?"
"Huh? Let me think, who said there's no family ties on the road to power? Was it my precious daughter? Ah? Hahaha..." Pudong laughed and left the room.
The sound of clashing armor rang out, and the Duke walked to the Madam Poison's side.
"What do we do next?" the Duke asked.
After the old snake king Pudong returned, the main Snake People Race of the Snake Gang quickly sided with him, but the Madam Poison was still nominally the leader of the Snake Gang.
However, with the announcement of this agreement with the three major clans, her position as the leader of the Snake Gang may be in jeopardy.
"Hmph, I will never give up my position in the Snake Gang!"
"Then let it split. Although we've lost the support of the Snake People Race, our strength is still considerable, enough to rival your father," the Duke said calmly, as if the division of the Snake Gang was insignificant to him and he didn't care at all.
The Madam Poison nodded slightly, a cold glint in her eyes, "Three-Eyed People, Red Ghost..."
Come on, everyone, eat and drink to your heart's content!
"This is truly gratifying! You have no idea what the expressions on those snake cubs' faces were when they learned the contents of the peace agreement."
"Thanks to the Red Crystal Gunpowder and the Strong Vibration Steel series of weapons, our military strength has been greatly enhanced, which enabled us to easily crush the Snake Gang. Otherwise, even if we could have won, it wouldn't have been so easy."
"I've heard that these two technical formulas are new inventions of the Royal Court. How many more technologies do you think the Royal Court is hiding from us?"
There must be quite a few more.
In the square, many Gendaya People from the three major clans gathered together. The air was filled with the aroma of wine, and the tables were laden with a variety of delicious foods. The spirited Gendaya People clinked glasses and discussed the conflict with the Snake Gang.
This was a victory celebration banquet, and not only were all the high-ranking officials present, but also the clansmen who had performed outstandingly in the hunting grounds or in the subsequent all-out war were invited.
Logo sat out of place among a group of middle-aged and elderly people, attracting curious glances from time to time, mostly filled with admiration and respect.
After the battle at the hunting grounds, Logo's name spread far and wide among the three major clans, and he was hailed as the number one genius of the three major clans.
To be able to kill fourth or fifth-tier Transcendent beings as easily as slaughtering pigs and dogs at the age of twelve or thirteen is a feat rarely seen, not only among the three major clans but also throughout the entire Royal Court.
The Gendaya People value strength above all else; after Logo the Red Ghost's identity was revealed, his reputation soared?
Especially among the younger generation under thirty, they have become leading figures.
Such prestige may not be of much use now, but it will play a crucial role when one holds great power in the future.
Halfway through the banquet, Logo saw that the time was right, walked to the center of the venue, and took out a black mech.
"Does anyone recognize this mech?" Logo asked with a smile.
"Isn't this the standard mech of your Campbell Family's Heavenly Eye Force?" Viscount Howard spoke first.
"The Heavenly Eye Force? The same special forces unit that captured the Talunbu'er Base in just ten minutes?" a viscount from the Thorn Clan exclaimed in surprise.
"Indeed, this force is the private army of the Red Maple Clan and the Campbell Family. It is said that it was only formed a few months ago, but it has already achieved numerous victories. In particular, their mechs are of superior performance and are also very durable."
Sir Logo, what is this...?
After the surrounding discussion ended, Logo slowly spoke, "Speaking of which, the all-out war started because of me, and many of my people died or were injured. Logo feels deeply guilty."
This Heavenly Eye Mecha is a one-star mech that I developed myself, and its performance is acceptable.
If the clan leaders don't mind, I'm willing to offer 1500 Heavenly Eye Mecha as a token of my appreciation to each and every clan present!
As soon as Logo finished speaking, the room fell silent; everyone was stunned.
