Global Mutation: Opening with Swallowing a Black Mamba-Chapter 440 - 441: New Enemies! The Lolan Alliance Invades!
The conference hall fell silent once again.
The Supreme Leaders of many Star Cluster Civilizations turned their gaze towards the South Emperor and Gu Qijue.
Among the three giants of the Star Cluster Alliance, Ming God has already expressed clear support for the Dark Emperor Civilization, opting to join the Dark Emperor Civilization’s faction.
Now everyone wanted to know the attitude of the remaining two giants.
Facing the eager gazes of everyone, the South Emperor said casually, "The Purple Crystal Civilization can join either side."
"Even at the peak of the Purple Crystal Civilization, it did not have the credentials to rival the Dark Emperor Civilization and the Witch Demon Civilization."
"Under the vast tides of cosmic war, joining any side has little significance."
"Even if the Dark Emperor Civilization wins in the end, joining their faction does not guarantee we’ll smile to the end."
"It’s the same reasoning even if we join the Witch Demon Civilization’s faction."
After the South Emperor spoke, everyone, including Gu Qijue, nodded in agreement.
The South Emperor was very clear-headed and had pinpointed the core of the issue.
Which faction to join is not important; what’s important is who smiles in the end.
"The victor becomes king, and the loser a bandit" is a very generalized statement.
In the backdrop of cosmic war, both victors and losers will have beneficiaries in the end.
Since the South Emperor already highlighted the crux of the matter, Gu Qijue followed her lead and said:
"So, as the South Emperor said, choosing a faction is not the most important thing."
"The most important thing is for the Star Cluster Alliance to become one of the ultimate beneficiaries."
"The issues for us to discuss next are not about joining a specific faction."
"But rather on discussing how to survive till the end."
After Gu Qijue finished speaking, the Supreme Leaders of various Star Cluster Civilizations voiced their agreement.
"Agreed!"
"I agree with Supreme Leader Gu’s opinion!"
"I also agree!"
"Let’s continue the discussion following Supreme Leader Gu’s proposal!"
After everyone expressed their stance, Ming God naturally had no objections either.
Ming God led the Star Cluster Alliance smoothly with his three techniques.
First, mudding through. Second, surface-level skills. Third, open-mindedness to advice.
He was never stubborn and self-opinionated; if others proposed a better plan, he would adopt it.
With these three techniques, Ming God was even more suited than Gu Qijue to become the Alliance Leader of the Star Cluster Alliance.
The words of the South Emperor and Gu Qijue quickly shifted Ming God’s mindset.
He pondered for a moment, then spoke again, saying:
"Since that’s the case, we should focus on two things moving forward." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
"The first is to survive in the cosmic war."
"The second is to grow stronger during the cosmic war."
Although war is incredibly terrifying, when it’s unavoidable, it also becomes an opportunity for growth and development.
After swiftly adjusting, Gu Qijue’s eyes couldn’t help but glimmer.
He mused internally, "It seems I’m not the only one profiting silently and growing rapidly."
"Others in the Star Cluster Alliance are also growing swiftly."
Based on his understanding of Ming God, usually, Ming God would remain silent and weigh the pros and cons when facing such matters.
It’s been some time since they last met, and Ming God has developed the capability for quick decision-making.
As soon as he realized his mistake, he shifted his mindset and adjusted his plan.
Ming God had already outlined the future direction for the Star Cluster Alliance’s development.
With this broad direction in place, the next step would be to form concrete action plans.
With the collective wisdom of the Star Cluster Alliance’s upper echelon, solving this issue isn’t difficult.
After some discussion, Gu Qijue summarized:
"The Star Cluster Alliance will enter a wartime alliance state and cooperate extensively in all areas moving forward."
"Subsequent military actions of the Star Cluster Alliance will be conducted as a cohesive whole."
"I propose organizing a trillion troops, under the unified command of the Star Cluster Alliance’s high command."
"This trillion-strong force can be divided into one hundred units."
"Each unit comprising ten billion soldiers."
"These one hundred units will be divided into regular and elite forces."
"Ninety regular units and ten elite units."
"Before the flames of war reach the Star Cluster Alliance, we can maintain contact with both the Witch Demon Civilization and the Dark Emperor Civilization."
"Once war erupts, we’ll analyze and decide our every move based on the specific scenarios."
After Gu Qijue finished speaking, the Supreme Leaders of various Star Cluster Civilizations nodded in agreement one after another.
Conflict wars are unjust wars.
Efforts should be made to avoid such wars by all means.
Since war is inevitable, it must be handled flexibly.
After all, both warring parties fight for greater benefits.
Being swept along in this massive tide, the Star Cluster Alliance can certainly make a similar choice.
The outbreak of war came sooner than the members of the Star Cluster Alliance had anticipated.
As the Star Cluster Alliance concluded its meeting and began preparing for war, the flames of battle spread to its vicinity.
The Star Cluster Alliance, aiming for steady growth, hoped to avoid war.
But some groups, which weren’t good at development but purely skilled in slaughter and plunder, emerged.
After the eruption of cosmic war, such groups naturally revealed their vile and ugly nature.
The group that appeared near the Star Cluster Civilization claimed to be the Lolan Alliance, a part of the Dark Emperor Civilization’s faction.
The emergence of the Lolan Alliance forced the Star Cluster Alliance to convene another meeting.
In the holographic conference hall, the demeanors of many leaders were even more serious than before.
One leader didn’t even appear in the holographic meeting hall because their civilization was currently in combat with the Lolan Alliance.
Once everyone was present, Ming God candidly stated: "The Lolan Alliance is a member of the Dark Emperor Civilization faction."
"We hadn’t given a clear answer to the Dark Emperor Civilization before; seems like this action from the Lolan Alliance is a warning to us."
"The Snowy Owl Leader is leading the Ice Spring Civilization in a major battle with the Lolan Alliance at this moment."
"The Lolan Alliance demands we take a stand immediately and supply them with resources."
"If we provide logistical support to the Lolan Alliance, their battlefield spoils will have no relation to us."
"With expenditures but no revenue, no matter how vast the Star Cluster Alliance’s assets, they’ll soon be depleted."
"What’s everyone’s opinion on this sudden event?"
Before anyone else could speak, Gu Qijue promptly said:
"We can negotiate with the Lolan Alliance and provide them with some material support, but this needs to allow for fair and free trade between us."
"Make them fight with the Witch Demon Civilization or other Dark Emperor Civilizations on the frontlines before the Star Cluster Alliance."
"As long as we can profit from free trade, their arrival is a good thing."
"The Infinite Empire can provide maximum technical support in product manufacturing."
Gu Qijue’s strategy was feasible: let the Lolan Alliance earn money within the Star Cluster Alliance and spend it there, indirectly promoting the development of the Star Cluster Alliance.
