Chapter 494 – Meeting of Heads of State

Translator: Xaiomoge

A burly man said solemnly: “Eastwood Monarch, that won’t do. Even if we use all our strength and defeat Yang Feng, the victory will be tragic. By then, the Azumano State and the Minamino State will definitely take advantage of our weakened state. And if we are defeated, then with Yang Feng’s disposition, the Kitano State will cease to exist!”

The remaining Moonlight Warlocks nodded.

In a fight between Moonlight Warlocks, it was easy to defeat the opponent, but very difficult to kill them. Thus, after a fight between two states, the losing party will carve off a part of its land and give it away as reparations, and things will end here. Rarely will a state be wiped out. After all, the party to wipe out another state will also incur heavy losses.

As he has attacked many places in the Fuso Subcontinent, Yang Feng’s losses exceeded 1 million battle robots. But because he has established many munitions factories in the Kihara State and the Nishino State, the destroyed battle robots were being reforged. At the same time, a steady stream of troops was being delivered from the Turandot Subcontinent. The mechanical legion that didn’t seem to decrease in numbers gave people a sense of despair.

If it wasn’t for the huge number of battle robots that served as cannon fodder, Yang Feng would think twice before starting a war.

With a gloomy expression, a Moonlight Warlock spoke coldly: “That trash Kuwata Kou deserves to die 10,000 times over for the mess he created!”

The other Moonlight Warlocks showed anger on their faces, and killing intent towards the already dead Kuwata Kou surged inside them. Of course, they selectively forgot about how excited they were when Kuwata Kou had the West Sea State submit to the Kitano State.

Eastwood Mata said harshly: “Furakawa Monarch, what do you suggest we do? Do we just stay still and watch Yang Feng take down our vassal states one by one?”

Furakawa Hono responded with a faint smile: “Of course not. We can invite the Holy Glory State together with the Azumano State and the Minamino State to mediate. Even if Yang Feng was stronger, he cannot ignore the combined force of the three major states as well as the Holy Glory State. The Azumano State and the Minamino State must also have some fear towards the aggressive Yang Feng. As long as we pay a small price, they will definitely agree to mediate for us.”

Furakawa Hono’s eyes flashed with an enigmatic glint and he carried on: “If Yang Feng doesn’t accept the mediation, then with the combined strength of the four major forces, we can completely destroy all of his forces in the Fuso Subcontinent.”

Hokko Yusei’s eyes radiated resplendent light: “Well said! Let’s do it this way!”

A few days later, the Nishino State’s royal palace, in a secret chamber.

Surrounded by piles of magic crystals, Yang Feng was sitting on a jade bed. A fearsome whirlpool formed on his body. Every time the whirlpool span, a large number of magic crystals will be absorbed into his body.

With the support of the Nishino State’s myriad of resources, Yang Feng’s cultivation base quickly reached the intermediate Starry Sky Warlock realm.

Due to the semi-plane seed that he implanted inside his sea of knowledge, Yang Feng required millions upon millions of times more cultivation resources than other people. But unlike ordinary Warlocks, he wasn’t stuck in a bottleneck for dozens of years or 100 years.

It took at least 30 years for an ordinary Starry Sky Warlock to cultivate from the junior to the intermediate Starry Sky Warlock realm. And this was the cultivation speed of geniuses from the Battle Demon Sect. Many rogue cultivators were trapped in the bottleneck between the junior and the intermediate Starry Sky Warlock rank their entire life.

Suddenly, there is a knocking on the door.

Yang Feng opened his eyes, and the door opened automatically.

Kitazuki Kaori came in with a fragrant scent wafting off from her, knelt in front of Yang Feng, and spoke respectfully: “Your Majesty, the Kitano State sent an envoy. Do you want to receive him?”

“A Kitano State envoy! How fast!” Yang Feng frowned and went on to say: “Let him wait for me in the Dazzling Hall.”

Kitazuki Kaori withdrew herself respectfully:” Yes! Your Majesty!”

Yang Feng went to a hot spring bath. Waited upon by beautiful women, he took a comfortable bath and dressed, and then walked towards the Dazzling Hall.

As soon as Yang Feng entered the hall, he saw a slender, handsome young man.

The envoy from the Kitano State was a Starry Sky Warlock. He had been waiting here for two hours, but he didn’t dare to show any hint of dissatisfaction on his face.

With Yang Feng’s power, he could have a Starry Sky Warlock wait for him for several hours, and the same was true for a Starry Sky Warlock with Moonlight Warlocks as their backers.

“I am the envoy of the Kitano State Tanaka Kuon. Greetings, Your Majesty Yang Feng!” After Yang Feng sat on his throne, Tanaka Kuon gave him a 90° bow and spoke respectfully.

Yang Feng asked with an arrogant attitude: “Are you here to declare war on behalf of the Kitano State?”

Tanaka Kuon answered respectfully: “No! The Kitano State has the highest esteem for you, Your Majesty. The Kitano State had no prior knowledge of the West Sea State’s matter. It was all an arbitrary action of Kuwata Kou. In order to resolve the misunderstanding between us, the ruler of our state has invited the rulers of the Holy Glory State, the Azumano State, and the Minamino State for mediation. Please stop all attacks. After 10 days, please go to the Holy Glory Ancient City to resolve this dispute.

Yang Feng frowned: “Here it is! How troublesome!”

It would be better for Yang Feng if the Kitano State was determined to fighting him. He could destroy the Kitano State and appropriate its power and resources in one fell swoop. Even if the more than 5 million battle robots and the 6 battlestars were destroyed in the process, it would all be worth it so long as the Kitano State was dealt with.

However, the Kitano State invited the three major forces to mediate. Even if Yang Feng was stronger, he would still have to think carefully before acting.

With the mechanical legion and the many Moonlight Warlocks who submitted to him, Yang Feng was certain that he could destroy the Kitano State. However, if he started a war against the four states at the same time, his chances at victory weren’t high. And even if he won, the victory would come at a very heavy price. At least 70% of his experts would die.

Tanaka Kuon took out a golden invitation letter and handed it to Yang Feng respectfully: “Please accept this invitation letter, Your Majesty!”

“Okay, you may take your leave!” Yang Feng beckoned, and the golden invitation letter flew into his hand, and then said coldly.

Tanaka Kuon made a salute and took his leave: “Yes! Your Majesty!”

Yang Feng played with the golden invitation letter in his hand and sighed with regret: “Unfortunately, it seems that the large-scale offensive must come to an end.”

If he could control the Fuso Subcontinent in its entirety, then with the resources of the entire subcontinent Yang Feng wouldn’t need to go elsewhere to look for resources. Coupled with a period of bitter cultivation, he could promote to a Moonlight Warlock in the Fuso Subcontinent.

Compared to the Turandot Subcontinent, the Fuso Subcontinent was 100 times richer in resources. With its countless precious treasures, it has previously given birth to Infinity Warlocks. The Turandot Subcontinent could not compare to this subcontinent in terms of value.

The Holy Glory Ancient City was located in the western part of the Holy Glory State. It was a huge city specially established to serve as a place for negotiations between the five major states.

There were no magic barriers in this city. In this way, even if something happened, the heads of state of the five major states could run away immediately.

Almost 90% of the Fuso Subcontinent’s forces believed in evil gods. As such, treacheries and betrayals were commonplace. Only places where there were no magic barriers could be entered safely. Even so, each time before they entered the Holy Glory Ancient City, the four major states will send experts to conjure several detection spells within the city.

In the center of the city, there was a wide platform that was more than 40 meters high. Atop the platform, there were five seats located.

These five seats were reserved for the heads of state of the Fuso Subcontinent’s five major states.

At this time, four of the five seats were occupied. The four people were the ruler of the Kitano State Hokko Yusei, the ruler of the Azumano State Higashi Ajime, the ruler of the Minamino State Minami Keikaku, and the ruler of the Holy Glory State Nakajo Tsuki Sakura.

Higashi Ajime was a burly man built like a bear. Minami Keikaku was a man with a horn on his hand, a magic patters on is face, and a gloomy expression. Nakajo Tsuki Sakura was a mesmerizing 16- or 17-year-old girl with a noble yet slightly childish temperament.

Among the four people, except for Nakajo Tsuki Sakura who was a level-2 Warlock, the other three were quasi-Glorious Dawn Warlocks.

Unlike the other four major states, the title of head of state of the Holy Glory State could only be inherited by those who have the bloodline of the state’s first head of state. Next to Nakajo Tsuki Sakura stood an old-looking advanced Moonlight Warlock rank expert.

Minami Keikaku looked at Hokko Yusei and smiled eerily, saying: “Hokko Yusei, I heard that your Kitano State was beaten black and blue by Yang Feng. Of your five ancillary state, only the Rige State and the Joto State remain. You’re in a tight spot. Isn’t your Kitano State known as the nr. 1 state in the Fuso Subcontinent, so why don’t you duke it out with Yang Feng? Your Kitano State is a blemish on the Fuso State’s reputation.”

Looks or ridicule focused on Hokko Yusei. The relationship between the four major states was very bad. If not for Yang Feng’s rise being too fast and his threat being too great, the remaining major states would sit back and enjoy the spectacle of Yang Feng destroying the Kitano State.

Hokko Yusei responded flatly: “My Kitano State is indeed not Yang Feng’s match. Why don’t you have your Minamino State have a go at him? If your Minamino State can beat him, then I, Hokko Yusei, will admit that you are better than me, Minami Keikaku.”
