175: The sensible eagle

Eagle Sauce Country.

ONeill Mersad summoned many high-level officials and had already begun discussing the upcoming reparations to Dragon Country.

They received news of the destruction of Sakura Island quite quickly.

This was mainly because they had many undercover agents over there.

This time, Eagle Sauce Country had also suffered heavy losses.

"Everyone, Dragon Country has already produced a new Ninth-Rank Expert, and the momentum is fierce. As for this battle... I believe everyone present is very clear about it!"

"If we continue to act willfully and maintain our original attitude toward Dragon Country, I fear we will be the next to be wiped out!"

ONeill Mersad's tone was quite helpless. Although he was unwilling to admit defeat so bluntly, the gap in strength was simply too vast!

This could not be bridged in such a short time!

Even if someone reached the Ninth-Rank, it would be impossible to slaughter so many demons in an instant.

Such strength... it was simply terrifying!

"General Mersad, wouldn't that be saying we are worthless?!"

"Regardless, we and Dragon Country are the two most powerful forces in the human camp on Blue Star, even if..."

Slap!

ONeill Mersad slammed his thick palm onto the table. This kind of nonsense was the last thing he wanted to hear right now.

That was a Ninth-Rank Expert!

The battle record was laid out right there, yet some fools still harbored wishful thinking.

"I am telling you, the main content of today's meeting is how to compensate Dragon Country and repair the relations we previously worsened. I want you to propose reasonable suggestions!"

"And by the way... have you contribute a portion of the resources for the compensation!"

ONeill Mersad's resolute gaze swept over everyone, giving them no time to argue.

As the general with the highest prestige in the military, commanding the most elite troops of Eagle Sauce Country, ONeill Mersad had been entrusted with this heavy responsibility.

When everyone heard they had to contribute resources, their faces turned pale.

This... wasn't this asking for their lives?!

Resources and wealth were things accumulated over a century.

Now, they were being told to hand it over to others?!

How could they accept this?!

Damn it!

"Our previous rudeness caused significant harm to Dragon Country. Especially the later delegation, which actually thought about assassinating our beloved ally, Dragon Country. It is simply a capital offense!"

"I have already captured all the relevant military personnel involved, and will send them to Dragon Country along with the compensation to be dealt with!"

Everyone looked at each other in dismay.

Wouldn't this be going too far?!

Was it necessary to go this far?!

But ONeill Mersad did not give them time to react and continued, "Every first-class, large family in Eagle Sauce Country must contribute ten billion dragon coins in assets!"

"As compensation for Dragon Country!"

Before he finished speaking, everyone was speechless with misery.

The high-level officials of Eagle Sauce Country were actually shifting the risk of this disaster directly onto them.

You must know... who among those present didn't have the support of a large family behind them? Otherwise, how could they have reached such positions?!

"Here is a list that records all the families that must pay."

"It will be pushed through layer by layer; no family will be spared."

"By the way... immediately withdraw all undercover agents within Dragon Country. Do not let these fellows affect our relationship!"

ONeill Mersad's tone was firm and allowed no room for anyone to argue.

If he weren't wearing the military uniform of Eagle Sauce Country, these people would even suspect that this guy was a spy sent by Dragon Country!

He was considering everything for Dragon Country so thoroughly!

"Also, allocate some of the profitable secret realms to Dragon Country's territory."

"The military has already drafted a simple preliminary plan, which will be gradually perfected. All of you must cooperate unconditionally."

Everyone nodded helplessly.

It seemed they could not escape this calamity.

Who told Dragon Country to be the first to produce a Ninth-Rank Expert.

"One hour from now, the collection plan will be implemented. Within twenty-four hours, I want to see all the compensation given to Dragon Country."

"I am telling you, time is life!"

"If Dragon Country strikes first, lets demons invade our territory, or directly marches their army in, we will all end up with the same fate as Sakura Island!"

ONeill Mersad threw the documents down, looked at everyone, and added, "If you still want to maintain your current status, then get moving!"

"If you don't do it, the military will do it for you!"

"From now on, in our cooperation with Dragon Country, we must concede as much profit as possible."

"In all future competition, Eagle Sauce Country must not have any improper thoughts toward Dragon Country, and must not harm the people within Dragon Country, until we ourselves have the protection of a Ninth-Rank Expert..."

"Dismissed!"

As his voice fell, everyone dispersed.

Having to scrape together ten billion dragon coins within twenty-four hours would not empty their coffers, but it would definitely cause a significant reduction in the power of all the families.

But since this was targeted at all families within Eagle Sauce Country, everyone was weakened, which meant no one was really weakened.

"From now on, there is only one superpower in the human camp on Blue Star!"

ONeill Mersad lowered his gaze, looked at his badge, and complained helplessly.

"I hope Dragon Country doesn't have any designs on us for the time being."

...

And situations like this were playing out thousands of times across the entire Blue Star.

Sneaky Puddle, Kangaroo Lone Continent, Clock Country...

These factions that had previously cooperated with Eagle Sauce Country to harm Dragon Country were all planning how to repair their broken relationships with Dragon Country.

Some were even willing to cede territory as reparations.

As for the other countries, their attitudes were even more pious.

There were many races on Blue Star and competition was fierce. If they attached themselves to Dragon Country at this time, even if monsters invaded, they would have to consider whether the big brother agreed.

As the saying goes... to beat a dog, you must look at its owner!

What's more, this owner was so powerful!

Even the demons dared not invade anymore.

Not only the human camp, but some monster and creature races also vied to show goodwill to Dragon Country.

Regardless, they had to express their intentions.

In case they were targeted, they would only have themselves to blame for not being sensible.

Within a single day, giants kept pouring into the borders of Dragon Country.

Their expressions were all extremely friendly, wanting to negotiate matters with Dragon Country.

And they also attached incredibly precious gifts.

The guards stationed at the borders of Dragon Country were numb.

"If I remember correctly, this is the 103rd delegation today, right? Why are they suddenly so polite to our Dragon Country?"

The guard next to him shook his head, his face beaming with joy, and the curve of his mouth could hardly be suppressed.

"Hey... do you think our Dragon Country is still the same as before?"

"A Ninth-Rank Expert!"

"A being about to ascend to godhood. If they aren't sensible, who knows where they might be wiped out."

Another guard moved two steps closer and lowered his voice, saying, "Don't you know yet?"

"That Ninth-Rank Expert can command Abyss demons!"

"From now on, Dragon Country won't just be simple Dragon Country. With the Abyss added, it is now the number one fighting force on Blue Star!"
