215 Rebuilding The Dark Alliance
Xu Yuan had transformed into his mini-dragon form so that he could lie down on the throne. He sat on the throne and looked at the four Dark-Type heroes who had gathered below.
The Dark Enchanter and the Fallen Angel stood to the left, while the Red-Eyed Black Dragon and the White Dragon Saint stood on the right. Their respective Lords stood by their sides.
The atmosphere was solemn.
“Everyone,” said the White Dragon Saint. “Since we have all gathered here, I will hold this meeting on behalf of His Majesty.”
The White Dragon Saint noticed that Xu Yuan didn’t speak, so he took over.
“You?” said the Fallen Angel mockingly. “Why would you speak on behalf of His Majesty? What qualifications do you have that sets you apart from us? Let me be the first to disagree with your proposition. Besides, you don’t even have a Lord.”
This was a fatal blow. Every other hero had a Lord and was bound by the rules of the Overlord Plane. They could also enjoy some perks of the Overlord Plane. For example, they could be resurrected after death if the Territory Core was intact.
However, the White Dragon Saint was different. It wasn’t just his scales and his appearance. He was different in the sense that he had no Lord.
Everyone looked at Xu Yuan for a decision. They knew that Xu Yuan’s words would be final. It would be absolute. However, it was also true that he didn’t really participate in trivial matters.
It was very important for the leader to be chosen for this alliance right from the beginning.
Xu Yuan glances at them one by one. His gaze lingered on the Dark Enchanter and the Fallen Angel. The leader could only be someone from the two heroes.
One of them was the daughter of the Dark Magician Marshal, who had once been the leader of the Dark-Types. Besides, the Dark Enchanter, Eve, was so powerful that she could hold her own.
On the other hand, the Fallen Angel had been a deputy to the King of Heaven in the past.
If he chose the Dark Enchanter, many of the old Dark-Types would willingly follow her out of their loyalty to her father, the Dark Magician Marshal.
If he chose the Fallen Angel, he could rely on the hero’s ability and experience of ruling his subordinates as the deputy to the King of Heaven. He would also be a good leader.
Xu Yuan was conflicted.
If he chose the Dark Enchanter, he would gain more loyal followers and experts who were once devoted to the Dark magician Marshal. Many would respond to Eve’s orders. However, she was still young and inexperienced in leading subordinates.
Meanwhile, the Fallen Angel had experience and knowledge on how to rule and command subordinates because he had done it before as the deputy to the King of Heaven. However, the Fallen Angel as a leader might not sit well with some of the Dark-Types because he once was a Light-Type. He must have offended many other Dark-Types while he ruled. Many Dark-Types would refuse to follow him.
Before Xu Yuan could declare his decision, the White Dragon Saint, the Fallen Angel, and the Red-Eyed Black Dragon made a unanimous decision.
“Your Majesty, we propose that the Dark Enchanter, Eve, be chosen to lead this alliance and preside over the meeting.”
Crack!
The Dark Enchanter, Eve, had broken the staff that was in her hand. “Why? Because I am his daughter?”
Eve stared at them icily. She had worked so hard to achieve things on her own. She had always put extra effort into becoming strong so that she could be acknowledged based on her effort and strength. She wanted to be remembered for her strength and resilience. She didn’t just want to be known as the daughter of the Dark Magician Marshal but as a powerful hero in her own right.
Seeing how the others had agreed so willingly implied to her that the thing she hated the most had come to pass. The atmosphere was so tense that it was almost blowing up into chaos.
Su Wan noticed that the situation was going to deteriorate. She whispered into Xu Yuan’s ear, “Xu Yuan, do something! Why don’t you say something to stop them? Otherwise, it might get ugly.”
Xu Yuan yawned lazily. “Why? Isn’t this good? We have something to watch to keep us entertained.”
Su Wan was so angry when she heard this that she almost shouted at him. However, she didn’t want to do that in front of everybody.
If she shouted at Xu Yuan right now, both the fangirl Eve and the other fangirl, the White Dragon Saint, might attack her.
Su Wan decided to intervene. “Everyone, please calm down. Please let me say a few words…”
The four heroes looked at her. “You?”
“What qualifications do you have to interrupt us?”
“Who are you even?”
None of them thought very highly of Su Wan as a Lord. This was the internal matter of the Dark-Types, and no Lord was allowed to interfere.
It was at this time, Su Wan realized how little they thought of her. She found their arrogance insulting. Until now, they had just ignored her or let her be because of Xu Yuan. However, when she tried to help restore peace, they insulted her!
Su Wan was stunned. ‘Who am I?’
If she only said she was a Lord, they wouldn’t give a rat’s ass about it. She had to do something. The only way to make them respect her was to show that she was equal to Xu Yuan.
Su Wan thought for a while. She took a deep breath. She closed her eyes. Black flames encased her.
“You ask who I am,” she turned to them. “I am the Lord of the hero you mewl around every day calling him “Your Majesty”.”
A pair of black wings unfurled from her back. She was in her Demonic Dragon form. “I am Xu Yuan’s Lord, in contract, for so long as he dies, or I die permanently. And when I speak, you will listen. Is my status enough for you now?”
Everyone fell silent. No one spoke. She knew that if she didn’t use this form, they would not be intimidated enough to listen to her.
Whether it was the Fallen Angel or the White Dragon Saint, or even the Dark Enchanter, they looked at her with newfound respect. Their attitudes toward her changed.
“Now then, please allow me to speak a few words,” said Su Wan. “As the Lord and representative of the Dark Demon Dragon, I will chair this meeting.”
She glanced at Xu Yuan. He didn’t say anything.
“No objections? Great!” said Su Wan. “As far as I have understood from your incessant whining, the Dark Alliance is created to better manage the Dark-Types when they are gathered to fight against the Light-Types. Therefore, it is only proper for the most powerful Dark-Type to lead the alliance. As of now, the most powerful Dark-Type present is the Dark Enchanter, Eve, who will lead the alliance.”
The Dark Enchanter, Eve, looked a little less angry. She still thought that she had been chosen because of her father’s legacy. But Su Wan’s words made sense. No matter what the others thought of her, she was one of the most powerful Dark-Types!
“It is decided that the Dark Enchanter, Eve, is chosen to lead the Dark Alliance. She will preside over the future meetings of the Dark Alliance and manage the Dark-Types. This decision will be made final after the votes from all four generals and the current person presiding this meeting.”
