Chapter 1559 - 1559 Temporary Alliance (1)
1559 Temporary Alliance (1)
Just like what Tang Zhen had said, although there were internal conflicts among the cultivators in loucheng, and sometimes the degree of cruelty and bloodiness was shocking, they had always worked together in the battle outside and could leave their backs to the other party.
The reason for this was that the cornerstone platform was watching every cultivator at all times. If they did something against the rules, it would be difficult to escape punishment.
Especially during the war in the other world, the cultivators of loucheng were all from the same homeland and were the only companions that could be trusted. So what if they were of different races?
When they bathed in blood and killed enemies together, they were all brothers who shared life and death!
Especially when the strength of the cultivators in loucheng reached a certain height and faced a wider world, their prejudice would only limit their development, and they would be further and further away from the real big stage.
“Sir Tang Zhen has a broad mind, we are ashamed of our inferiority!”
he has taken the top spot in the trial twice in a row and is leading far ahead this time. If there are no accidents, His Excellency Tang Zhen is about to complete the magnificent feat of three consecutive championships and break the record left behind by the senior trial-takers!
“Yes, yes, I’m also full of admiration!”
Tang Zhen secretly laughed in his heart when he saw the few trial participants conversing with him in a respectful tone. This group of people clearly had something that they wanted to trouble him with. Otherwise, why would they need to be so attentive?
They were all powerful existences who were about to transcend life and death and could cross the void by themselves. It would only make people feel awkward to use such inferior words.
Clearly, Taylor and the others also felt a little uncomfortable. Therefore, after seeing Tang Zhen’s eyes that seemed to be smiling yet not smiling, all of them exchanged embarrassed glances with one another and shut their mouths at the same time.
“If there’s anything you need, just say it. If this tang can do it, I will certainly not delay it.”
As the Lord of a battle zone, Tang Zhen’s status had far exceeded that of ordinary participants. Even if his sacred dragon battle zone had just been established, the Lord of a City Tower could not be compared with him.
It was naturally not easy to get such a Big Shot to make a promise, and he would not easily break his promise.
This time, Taylor took the initiative to speak. He spoke to Tang Zhen in a serious tone, we’ve all seen your ability, Sir. Compared to us, it’s only a matter of time before you complete the trial.
although we are not as strong as you, we are more than enough to act as your pawns and cooperate with your plan.
therefore, I have a presumptuous request. I hope that Sir Tang Zhen can allow us to follow you. We don’t have many requests. We just want to follow you and drink some soup!
When he saw Tang Zhen’s pondering expression, Taylor quickly said, don’t worry, Sir Tang Zhen. As long as you agree to let us follow you, we will definitely listen to your command and will not act on our own initiative!
After Taylor finished speaking, he looked at Tang Zhen without blinking. He felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Following Tang Zhen to participate in the next trial was a choice they made after careful consideration. Regardless of Tang Zhen’s outstanding performance in the trial or the influence he would have after completing the trial in the future, it was worth it for Taylor and the others to take the initiative to befriend him.
At this moment, Tang Zhen was a seed with extremely high potential. However, other than Luo Fei, no other trial-taker had taken the initiative to follow her. This was undoubtedly a very abnormal thing.
Even a cultivator like Ming Feng had several cultivators willing to follow him. Compared to him, Tang Zhen was more than a level stronger!
The reason for this was because Tang Zhen’s fierce reputation was too great. The other participants didn’t understand his character and didn’t dare to place their bets easily.
After analyzing Tang Zhen’s behavior and indirect contact with him, Taylor determined that Tang Zhen’s character did not match the rumors. The reason why he had such a bad reputation was most likely due to someone stirring up trouble behind the scenes.
The biggest suspect among them was cultivator Ming Feng, who had suffered two losses in Tang Zhen’s hands and vowed to find an opportunity to take revenge.
There was a saying that a wise man would never believe in rumors. Although Taylor was a rough man, he was very clear in this aspect. Among the trial-takers, he was the first to propose to follow Tang Zhen.
Although the other participants were a little tempted, they were not as determined as Tyler. After discussing for a long time, there was no result. In the end, Tyler was a little impatient and came to find Tang Zhen alone.
Seeing this, the other cultivators felt that it was a pity to give up this opportunity. After all, the points they had gained from fishing in troubled waters last night were more than the points they had gained from the losses they had suffered in this period of time!
To the cultivators who had worked hard to accumulate battle merits, this was an irresistible temptation. How could they give up so easily?
Therefore, when Taylor was ready to act alone, they couldn’t hold back and quickly followed him.
Tang Zhen was not clear about the cause and effect of all this. However, he could guess the thoughts of Taylor and the others.
If it was in the wilderness God’s kingdom, Tang Zhen would definitely reject Taylor’s request because he would be able to handle it with ease. There was no need to let the other trial-takers share his benefits.
However, after coming to the Manas Empire, Tang Zhen discovered that fighting alone in such a divine Kingdom was undoubtedly an extremely difficult thing. If it wasn’t for the Guard’s surprise troops, he might have been like Taylor and the other trial-takers, unable to break through the situation.
There were a few other countries like the Manas Empire in this world. Tang Zhen did not aim too high and wanted to take down all of them, but at the very least, he had to conquer the Manas Empire under his feet!
In order to not be restricted in the next operation and continue to maintain the advantage of being the leader, it was imperative to find a suitable helper.
It was not impossible to fight alone, but that could cause a large number of casualties. The rewards and punishments would cancel out each other, and it would repeat the mistakes of Taylor and the other trial-takers.
Therefore, even if Taylor and the others did not appear, Tang Zhen would still find a way to contact Luo Fei. The two sides had cooperated twice and were familiar with each other. When they cooperated, they would be more successful.
On the surface, he seemed to be thinking, but in fact, Tang Zhen already had an answer in his heart.
“Since everyone trusts this Tang, we can temporarily form an alliance and brainstorm together to think of a way to break the stalemate in the Manas Empire and strive to obtain more Battle Points.”
“I’m not talented enough to be your loyal follower. We’re only cooperating.”
“If we can get along well, then this Alliance will continue. If there’s anyone who’s dissatisfied, they can leave at any time. This Tang will not force them!”
Hearing Tang Zhen’s words, Taylor felt slightly disappointed. One must know that the so-called cooperation was built on the foundation of equality. It seemed very fair, but in reality, a certain distance was maintained.
There was a difference between close and distant in everything. Although forming an alliance could still benefit them, when there were real benefits, it was impossible for allies to get a share of it. However, followers would have the opportunity to share the benefits.
Following was only applicable in situations of mutual acceptance, while the form of an Alliance might be more suitable for trial-takers who were not familiar with each other.
Taylor asked himself. If this matter had happened to him, he might have made the same choice as Tang Zhen. If he wanted to improve the relationship between the two of them, he would need time to test it.
After realizing this, Taylor felt relieved. He bowed to Tang Zhen and expressed that he was willing to accept his suggestion.
“Since that’s the case, I’m willing to join the alliance led by His Excellency Tang Zhen,”
The other participants also understood this point. However, compared to the slight disappointment in Taylor’s heart, Tang Zhen’s proposal of an Alliance was more to their liking.
As spiritual emperors, they naturally had a trace of pride in their hearts. They didn’t think that they were weaker than others, so how could they easily submit to others?
Even if Tang Zhen’s performance was outstanding, that was all. It was not enough for them to be determined to follow him.
However, they had neglected another point. If they missed this opportunity, they might lose the chance to choose forever.
If they had persevered a little longer, perhaps things would have turned out differently. In the days to come, they might have even obtained more benefits!
