“As I was saying, Aditya is really dangerous. Last night he took down 3 Western Empires. Letting this man grow would only make him more dangerous. Sooner or later, his interest will conflict with our interests. That’s why I think we all should unite our military strength to destroy this….Your majesty.”

The look on Philip’s face told Lucca that there must be a big reason for his Prime Minister to interrupt him.

Sigh!

Lucca somehow controlled his rage. “What is it?” Hearing the cold tone of the Emperor, Philip’s legs began to shake in fear. But he still needed to say it otherwise, everyone sitting here could be in big trouble.

“Just now, a letter has been delivered by an elf. This letter came from the Celestial Terrain.” Hearing the name of the Celestial Terrain regardless of who it was, their faces turned pale. At that moment everyone knew that ignoring the letter of the Celestial Terrain would be the same as inviting Death to kill them. Not even Lucca or the Oracle Alliance dared to be arrogant in front of the Celestial Terrain.

Hearing Philip’s words, Lucca’s expression changed. Lucca couldn’t think why the Celestial Terrain would suddenly send the Oracle Alliance a letter. This was the first time something like this has happened. The relationship between the Oracle Alliance and the Celestial Terrain wasn’t anything special.

‘None of the members are that close to the Celestial Terrain. At most, the relationship between the Oracle Alliance members and the Celestial Terrain was limited to export and import.’ Lucca worriedly thought in his mind.

In the past, Lucca has tried many times to befriend the Elven Empress who is also the mother of the Goddess of Nature. But all of those times Lucca’s efforts have failed. There was a point when Lucca wanted to propose an engagement between the goddess of nature and his son Louis.

Lucca even personally visited the Celestial Terrain and met The Elven Empress to discuss the engagement. He tried to tempt the Empress with the countless benefits that both parties would receive from their engagement but within 5 minutes, Lucca was forced to leave. To this day, Lucca remembers the terrifying expression on the Elven Empress’s face when he talked about the engagement.

Even if Lucca was disrespected that day, there is nothing that he could do. Even if he uses the whole Oracle Alliance to attack The Celestial Terrain, he would still lose against the Elven Empress. Not to mention the fact that the Elven Empress had powerful backing in the Main continent.

The Celestial Terrain was the home of Elves. A whole continent is a place where Elves lived. Other races do not live there. From the beginning, The Celestial Terrain has kept minimal connections with outside forces. The Elven Empress and The Celestial Terrain never cared what happened outside their continent.

Lucca wasn’t the first person who tried to befriend The Celestial Terrain and become their ally. Every one of them failed.

It was a fortunate thing that The Celestial Terrain wasn’t closed to the outside world. Around 99% of the Magic fruits that are in the market came from The Celestial Terrain. The Celestial Terrain had everything that an Empire needed to become a super Empire.

Since The Celestial Terrain has sent a letter to the Oracle Alliance, this means that the matter wasn’t a simple thing. Something big must have made them send this letter here.

Lucca opened the letter and began to read. There wasn’t much written in the letter. There was only one sentence but reading that very sentence left Lucca’s mouth dry.

『If Any Peregrine Imperium gets directly gets involved with the matters of the Dying Isle Continent, The Celestial Terrain will have no cull but to join this war as well.』

Seeing Lucca frozen, others looked at each other in shock. Meanwhile, Philip also read the sentence. As he began reading, drops of sweat began rolling down his neck. When he finished, Philip’s entire body was soaked in sweat.

“What does the letter say?” Asked Logan Hussain, the Emperor of the Vermillion Empire.

『If Any Foreign Empire gets directly gets involved with the matters of the Dying Isle Continent, The Celestial Terrain will have no choice but to join this war as well.』

Hearing this not just Philip, but even other Emperors began sweating. Some Emperors and their Prime Ministers began to tremble in fear.

Silence!

The whole meeting room fell into deadly silence. Everyone had a different expression on their faces. Hearing that The Celestial Terrain was telling Lucca to not get any Foreign Empire involved in this matter, the 6 Foreign Empires who were also a part of the Oracle Alliance sighed in relief. It seems as long as they don’t participate in this war, nothing will happen to them.

In a way, this was good news. 6 of the Foreign Empires were unwilling to participate in Lucca’s fight in the first place. Now The Celestial Terrain’s words gave them the perfect excuse to not join this war. They didn’t even know the Istarin Emperor. The 6 Emperors saw no benefit in joining this meaningless war. Even if they win, it would be the Echo Nexus Empire who takes all the benefits. In the end, they would be just wasting their resources and their troops for nothing.

Meanwhile, the other 5 Empires that belonged to the Dying Isle continent were deeply worried. The Celestial Terrain words had made them think about the relationship between the Istarin Empire and The Celestial Terrain.

‘As far as I know, Neither the Istarin Emperor nor The Celestial Terrain had made any contact with each other. How come The Celestial Terrain is suddenly willing to threaten us for the sake of the Istarin Empire?’ Reese Gilliam who was the Emperor of the Mystic Spring Empire asked himself this question.

‘If more than half of the Oracle Alliance members are not allowed to join this war, then it would put more pressure on us. It would force us to deploy more troops and use more resources. Previously I wasn’t worried about the war as all the members were going to fight together. This meant that all the resources and the troops that I would need to use in this war would have been negligible. But now Lucca would expect the 4 of us to provide him with all the helps that we can give in place of the other 6 Empires.’ Another thing he knew was that when the War would start, he and his Empire would become the enemy of the Istarin Empire. And from what he had learned of Aditya, that man was the type who held grudges.

Suddenly he was also unwilling to join this War but he couldn’t say it to Lucca. The Oracle Alliance was created on the basis that all members would deploy their troops if one or multiple members were attacked by an enemy. In the current situation, Many Emperors saw their resources and troops getting used by Lucca.

After a long moment of silence, Lucca broke the ice. “In this letter, it is stated the Foreign Alliance Empires cannot directly get involved in this war. Meaning that the 6 of you won’t be able to send your troops to the battlefield.”

Hearing this All 6 Emperors inwardly smiled in happiness. Right now, the six Emperors were repeatedly thanking the Elven Empress in their hearts.

However, Lucca’s next words changed their faces. “But that doesn’t mean that you six can’t indirectly help us out. Since you six can’t send your troops, you guys can help us indirectly with funds, food, equipment, cannons, armor, and weapons.” Right now their faces looked very ugly. As if they wanted to cry but their eyes had no tears. As if someone had slapped their faces and had turned their faces red. They are in a situation where they wanted to protest but if they said a single word, their Empire would be in deep trouble.

Meanwhile, Lucca’s words had pleased the other 4 Empires. The four Emperors were grinning while staring at the ugly faces of the other six. ‘Good job.’ The four of them were inwardly praising Lucca with all sorts of flattery words.

“Then, it’s settled.” Seeing no one objecting to his words, Lucca nodded his head with a satisfied look. It’s not like anyone can object or show any protest anyway. Not when Lucca is here.

“Philip, I hope you have made preparations for the meeting.” Philip nodded his head.

“Your Majesty, the mirror already has been delivered to the Istarin Empire.”

“Good. Set things up. I want to see that bastard’s face.” As for the letter that came from The Celestial Terrain Lucca was going to worry about it later.

If the Celestial Terrain really wanted to protect the Istarin Empire, then in the letter the Elven Empress would have warned them to not attack the Istarin Empire. But it was clearly mentioned in the letter that no Foreign Empire was allowed to directly get involved in this war. This meant that The Celestial Terrain wasn’t trying to protect the Istarin Empire or anything.
