Chapter 48: Chapter 46
'Xianzhou, huh? They received the news rather quickly,' Adonis scoffed, then he turned his gaze towards Stelle, 'No, she's the one who revealed it, even though it probably wasn't her intention.'
Afterall, she doesn't seem to know the relationship between the two. 'Hmm, should I accept this...?'
Even without Xianzhou, he was going to take care of them anyways, so, even if he invites the Xianzhou over, it doesn't change the fact he's still in control of the situation.
But then.... As far as Adonis knew, Xianzhou should be the closest to Jarlio-VI, and not to mention, Adonis somewhat had a favourable impression of the Xianzhou.
Thinking about this, Adonis decided to agree, "Alright, we'll kindly accept their help then."
Hearing this, Stelle smiled, "Then, I'll relay it over."
"Wait."
Stelle, who had her smartphone at the ready, hesitated when she heard Adonis' words. "What's going on?"
Adonis then added, "The reinforcements will be under my control."
Stelle was surprised and looked at Adonis with a puzzled expression. The Xianzhou were coming to help Belabog, but Adonis wanted to be in charge? Would General Jing Yuan agree?
"I'll pass your message along to them, but the final decision isn't mine."
"Of course," Adonis replied.
She then forwarded Adonis' message to Welt.
.....
Xianzhou Luofu, Sky-Faring commission.
Upon receiving the news from Stelle, even Welt, who was usually composed, couldn't help but be surprised, and the corners of his mouth twitched. This request was rather unexpected.
Of course, Welt didn't believe that the Xianzhou would refuse, but at the same time, he found it challenging to accept their condition.
Yukong observed Welt's expression and inquired, "So, what was their response?"
Welt adjusted his glasses and looked at Yukong as he relayed the message, "He agreed but requested to be in command."
Yukong frowned, touching her chin in thought, and said, "It's not entirely unacceptable."
Hearing this, Welt withdrew his contemplative gaze, thinking, 'So, even without meeting in person, he can still influence others with his words alone?'
"Wait! What am I talking about? How can command be handed over?" At the same time, Yukong seemed to realize something and briefly looked at Welt and March Seven, but she quickly averted her gaze and shook her head.
It can't be these two.
They have no ability to influence her, and there is no reason to risk offending Xianzhou for such a thing.
So, what's going on?
After considering the situation, Yukong decided to set aside the strange matter for the time being and informed Welt, "Thank you once again for your assistance. I will need to report the proposed conditions to the General."
Welt nodded in agreement and replied, "Of course, please take your time."
Yukong stood up and continued, "We won't keep you any longer." She also continued, "Mr. Yang, once we have made our decision, we will get in touch. We apologize for any inconvenience."
Welt added a meaningful comment, saying, "On the contrary, I am looking forward to your final decision."
Yukong was momentarily surprised, sensing that there might be something more to Welt's words. However, she chose to dismiss it, as she was known for her thoroughness. After seeing the two off, she proceeded to contact General Jing Yuan directly.
[Yukong: General, the ruler of that planet accepted our assistance, but he also made a request, the command should be given to him.]
[Jing Yuan: Huh? That's all? The there's no problem... Wait, what?]
[Yukong: General, did you also subconsciously accept to this rude request?]
[Jing Yuan: Also? That's interesting.]
[Jing Yuan: Yukong, let me think about this matter first.]
[Yukong: Yes, lord general.]
...
In the meantime.
Seat of the divine foresight.
Jing Yuan sat at his desk, deep in thought, replaying his conversation with Yukong in his mind. His eyes glimmered as he considered the situation.
No matter how he looked at it, he found the other party's request quite audacious. When he first heard it, it felt almost natural to yield command.
However, Jing Yuan didn't believe he was influenced by any external forces; instead, it was more like the person making the request was exceptionally special.
After pondering this matter for a while, he decided to summon his chief strategist.
"General, you called for me?" the strategist asked upon entering the room.
Jing Yuan looked at the strategist and said, "The person in power is asking us to relinquish command to him. What are your thoughts on this?"
Upon hearing the strategist's response. "Xianzhou has a blood feud with the Wingmakers, and if we can clear them, we can hand over command…" the strategist started, but her words were suddenly cut short as she appeared to be overcome by confusion and doubt.
"I... What did I just say? I'm sorry General, I didn't—"
However, Jing Yuan was quick to reassure her. "It's okay," he said, "when I first heard this request, I also had the same inclination."
The strategist was taken aback, her surprise evident in her expression.
Jing Yuan sighed lightly and continued, "Don't worry, you can leave now."
As she left, Jing Yuan sat there, deep in thought. He picked up a star chess piece and studied it closely, musing, "Unconsciously influencing everyone who hears it. But where is this strange power coming from?"
In that moment, Jing Yuan's interest in the Wingmakers waned, and his curiosity about the mysterious figure who had made the request piqued. A faint smile played on his lips as he stood up from his desk, "How can I not share something as unusual as this from Fu Xuan?"
