Chapter 579: Surrender
As the war in the world of Faerun became increasingly tense and the situation became more severe, after careful consideration, Krober decided to arrange Ludwig's Dragon Riding Festival in the Forest of Michael in the continent of Faerun.
Although the conditions here may be slightly simple and difficult compared to the main world, there is no doubt that the number of participants in this Dragon Riding Festival is the most complete in history.
Through this grand Dragon Riding Festival, various countries have keenly noticed an important change.
After Alvis led the Emerald Kingdom to resolutely announce the merger with the Amethyst Ocean Flow Kingdom, now even the Citrine Jade Crown Kingdom has joined Krober's camp.
Faced with such a situation, those countries that have good relations with Krober, such as the Azure Tide Kingdom and the Blazing Steel Kingdom, can't help but start to secretly calculate in their hearts.
The leaders of these countries know that the current situation is undergoing earth-shaking changes. If they want to continue to gain a foothold and seek development on this ever-changing continent, they must make wise choices.
So, they all made up their minds and prepared to find a suitable time to have a frank and in-depth communication with Krober.
As long as the conditions proposed by Krober are not too harsh and difficult to accept, then they are very likely to lead their people to follow Krober's footsteps and jointly create a new situation.
Submission to the strongest is the characteristic of the main world, no, the entire multiverse.
In this world where the weak are the prey of the strong and strength is respected, it is an unchanging law of nature for the weak to bow and surrender to the strong.
And the grand dragon riding ceremony held by Ludwig, on the surface, seems to be just a gorgeous show for him to show off his strength and charm, but in fact, behind the gorgeous appearance, there is a very strong political meaning.
Even Harold, who has always been a brainless person, easily saw the mystery in it.
He frowned, staring at Ludwig riding a dragon in the distance, muttering to himself:
"Ludwig? I didn't expect that guy to join Krober? This is too wrong!"
"You know, Ashadelon is famous for her strict control over her subordinates. She would never let go of a person with the powerful combat power of a high-level dragon knight."
The more Harold thought about it, the more he felt that things were strange. His thoughts were surging like a tide. Suddenly, an amazing idea flashed through his mind:
"Could it be that... Ashadelon... also intends to join Krober?"
At the same time, Aditya also noticed this situation.
Although he did not have much direct contact with Krober on weekdays, he thought that the relationship between them was acceptable through his performance during this period.
Therefore, after seeing the development of the situation in front of him, Aditya began to secretly calculate in his heart.
Perhaps, it would be a good choice to merge his country with the Amethyst Ocean Kingdom under the rule of Krober.
Now he has already opened his eyes.
There is no need to hold on to the small piece of land in the main world.
That is just a little more, how can it be compared with a small plane?
If he plunders a city-state from the world of Faerun, the resources he plunders are comparable to the income from his half of the Holy Mithril Kingdom.
Moreover, only by following Krober can he use Krober's power to consolidate and expand his sphere of influence.
Then the benefits that can be obtained in the future will be immeasurable.
Thinking of this, Aditya's eyes became more determined, as if he had seen the beautiful scene of prosperity after the merger of the two kingdoms.
"However, there are probably many people who have the same idea as me at this moment."
While thinking this, Aditya slowly turned his head and carefully examined everyone present.
As expected, he found that except for Harold himself, the vague expressions on the faces of the others all revealed the same thoughts.
This is no wonder, you have to know that Ashadron's prestige is too deep.
Looking back to the past, when Krober had not yet emerged, Ashadron had already become the well-deserved "human leader" in nearly a thousand years.
Although each country maintains its independence, without exception, they will regard the orders issued by Ashadron as the criterion and remember them in their hearts.
"No, I must speed up... I must not be left far behind."
"It is understandable that Alvis can taste the sweetness first, who makes him an angel investor."
Aditya muttered to himself.
"Ashadelon is already of great value, not to mention that she gave Ludwig as a gift to Krober."
"Such a valuable gift, coupled with her immeasurable contribution in the field of scientific research, may her status and role be even more critical and important than Alves."
Thinking of this, Aditya frowned.
"I may not be as good as the two of them, but I can never be better than that guy Belron!"
Aditya secretly clenched his fists and made up his mind.
Aditya stood there, staring into the distance, thinking secretly in his heart.
After careful consideration, he finally made up his mind:
After the Dragon Riding Ceremony, it was hopeless to go to Krober to discuss the merger.
Because from the look of Bellon who couldn't wait and was eager to try, he would definitely express his allegiance to Krober without hesitation as soon as the ceremony ended.
However, Aditya was not the kind of person who gave up easily.
He had an extremely adventurous spirit and a shrewd business mind. In this moment, an extremely bold but brilliant idea that could bring several times the profit came to his mind.
This idea made his heart beat faster and his blood boil.
He decided to publicly declare his surrender to Krober in front of everyone at the most climax and the most anticipated moment of the Dragon Riding Ceremony!
In this way, it would not only cause a huge sensation, but also likely make things develop in a direction that was beneficial to him.
Thinking of this, Aditya's mouth corners slightly raised, and his eyes flashed with confidence and courage.
The only drawback of this plan was that Aditya needed to take some risks.
For example, he might offend Ludwig.
After all, this was the other party's dragon riding ceremony, and he announced his surrender to Krober, which undoubtedly stole the other party's limelight.
More importantly, if Ludwig and Ashadelon behind him were more valuable in Krober's heart, he would probably reject Aditya's request for surrender because of his consideration for the other party's feelings.
At that time, he would lose face.
