This alliance's power structure shocked everyone present. If this alliance truly existed, then it would be enough to wipe out most of the powers present. Even the leaders of the various weaves would be flustered by this alliance.
"Alliance Leader, isn't this alliance too powerful?" Lü Ran asked carefully, as he was worried that Lu Yin would control the alliance and wipe them all out.
Lu Yin smiled. "Elder Lü Ran, don't you want the people protecting you to be as strong as possible?"
Lü Ran laughed dryly. Of course, he wanted that, but who knew if this alliance would protect them or destroy them?
Everyone present was worried about this, and Lu Yin was well aware of it. "The alliance's formation will be witnessed by the entire Eastern Weave. No matter how much competition there is within the Great Eastern Alliance, even if you all join forces to deal with my Great Yu Empire, the alliance will not interfere. The alliance's purpose is to deal with external threats, not internal threats. I can guarantee this, and everyone can see and hear me."
Everyone looked at each other.
"My Lars Weave agrees," Jake Shamus immediately declared. Right now, he was most worried about Armament Weave acting against them. With the help of Lockbreakers, the Six-Fingered Tribe had no confidence in dealing with them at all. They could not wait for the alliance to grow stronger, and it would be even better if they could directly wipe out the Wei family.
Bei Hong declared, "Shenwu Continent agrees."
Lan Wu quickly followed up. "Grandtop Weave's Nine Stacks Sect agrees as well."
Bard Weave's Elder Meiya spoke up. "Evenground Palace agrees."
"The Tri-Banner Federation agrees," Gibu added.
In the end, only the Vastdearth Sect and Greenpeak Gorge remained. As for the remaining hundred or so representatives from the various powers participating in the Alliance Conference, there was no need for them to express their opinions. They were only participating so that the Alliance Conference wouldn't look bad with too few participants.
Everyone looked at Lü Ran and Elder Hana.
Lü Ran glanced at Elder Hana, and when he saw Lu Yin's gaze sweep over, his heart trembled. He hurriedly said, "Greenpeak Gorge agrees."
Elder Hana coughed. "The Vastdearth Sect agrees."
At this point, the structure of the allied forces' strength had been determined. Lu Yin smiled. "I understand everyone's concerns, and I can assure you all once again that the allied forces will not attack our internal forces. We will only attack our external forces. Alright, now that we've decided on the commander of the allied forces, I suggest that Liuying Zishan, the former captain of the Great Yu Empire's Thirteen Imperial Squadrons, be appointed. Although she's only a Cruiser, her military accomplishments are extremely high."
The Commander of the Allied Armies would definitely follow Lu Yin's arrangements, and everyone was already mentally prepared for this. They had no intention of competing with Lu Yin, so they all agreed. However, the higher-ups of the Allied Armies still had to be fought over, and Lu Yin did not interfere. He had to leave some benefits for them, and besides, if the higher-ups of the Allied Armies did not have people from these organizations, they would not feel at ease.
The reason why Liuying Zishan had been appointed as the first commander of the allied forces was because her strength could no longer keep up with Lu Yin's standards for the captains of the Third Imperial Squadron. He wanted to replace them one by one, but none of the original captains had made any mistakes, so he could only transfer them in parallel. Liuying Zishan's attitude towards him had been the biggest reason why he had been able to become commander, and Lu Yin was very reassured by her.
He did not need the commander to have any abilities; he only needed the commander to be loyal. Once a huge battle broke out, the commander would be nothing more than a puppet, and Lu Yin would be the only one making decisions. If the commander was truly capable, then that would be troublesome, as the commander would not have any decision-making power during a battle, which was something that Lu Yin did not want to see.
After the two biggest proposals had been discussed, the next step was the integration of resources, the establishment of tariffs, and a series of other regulations. These were mainly discussed by Huan Sha and Gavin, and Lu Yin also listened from the side.
To be honest, there were many things that Lu Yin did not understand, and neither did Jake Shamus and the others, which was why they had brought along professionals.
The Alliance Conference lasted for two days, during which many things were discussed. It wasn't until noon on the third day that the Alliance Conference officially ended, and the first Great Eastern Alliance Conference came to a successful conclusion.
Everything that had been discussed during the Alliance Conference was made public, but in reality, the actual matters that needed to be discussed would only be discussed after the Alliance Conference.
Lu Yin and Gibu remained in the palace and chased away everyone else. A screen rose in front of them, and images of Bach Shamus, Meng Qing, Mu Nichang, and Greenpeak Gorge's Master Feng Shu appeared on it. This was a grand Alliance Conference, so how could the leaders of the various powers not meet each other? The previous Alliance Conference had been a show for outsiders, and this was the real Alliance Conference.
There were some matters that could not be completely exposed, such as the establishment of the Great Eastern Alliance's military express routes and the establishment of the special forces. All of these matters needed to be discussed with the true decision-makers.
This was the first time that Lu Yin had met all the leaders of the various powers at the same time. "Everyone, it's been a long time. We finally meet."
Meng Qing looked at Lu Yin with a complicated expression. He had seen images of Lu Yin countless times, but when he saw him in person, he still gasped in amazement, as this kid was just too young.
Mu Nichang curiously sized up Lu Yin, as he was rather good-looking and pleasing to the eye.
Feng Shu had a smile on his face, and he looked very carefree.
Bach Shamus smiled. "The Alliance Leader has contributed greatly to the establishment of the Alliance."
Lu Yin's gaze swept across the group. "Everyone should have seen the agenda that I sent to you. If you have any thoughts, feel free to share them."
"I just want to know one thing. Regarding the Alliance Leader's suggestion of hiding the troops among the commoners, who are you guarding against?" Mu Nichang asked with a curious gaze.
Lu Yin looked at her, and his eyes flashed with amazement. He smiled. "Everyone should be aware of the battle on Sourcepeak Planet, and the mastermind behind the scenes is from Armament Weave's Wei family. Patriarch Bach should be well aware of this."
Bach Shamus solemnly asked, "Wei Rong?"
Lu Yin nodded. "As the saying goes, hiding the troops among the commoners and establishing the military express routes are meant to deal with what might happen next. The war between the East-West Weaves …"
…
This could be considered an Alliance Conference within an Alliance Conference. Although it did not last long, the discussions were all about information that could not be made public.
While Lu Yin and the others were discussing the Alliance Conference, Wei Rong's investigation of Sourcepeak Weave came to a conclusion. Since he knew that Lu Yin was targeting Sourcepeak Weave, he could not ignore it. No matter what, Sourcepeak Weave could not be pulled into the Great Eastern Alliance. Not only that, but he also wanted to take care of the remaining weaves in the eastern weaves.
Before Wei Rong could even hear the report, a cold killing intent appeared from all directions, and the room instantly shattered.
Wei Rong's expression did not change, and he stood in place without moving. Several assassins appeared around him, but before they could even get close to him, their heads were separated from their bodies. Wei Rong only saw a shadow appear in the void, but he had no idea what it looked like or how strong it was.
"Help me thank the Royal Regent for his protection," Wei Rong said with a smile, even though he could not see anyone.
In the darkness, Phantom Sting disappeared.
He had received Lu Yin's orders to protect Wei Rong's safety, and more importantly, to monitor Wei Rong and prevent him from causing trouble. He had not expected that someone would actually try to assassinate Wei Rong.
After the Alliance Conference ended, Lu Yin received a message from Phantom Sting, and his face sank. "Ask Young Patriarch Jake Shamus to come see me."
Back in King Zishan's palace, Lu Yin changed his clothes. Jake Shamus was already waiting in the living room, looking somewhat nervous and restless.
When he saw Lu Yin appear, he hurriedly stood up. "Your Highness, no, Alliance Leader, what instructions do you have for me?"
Lu Yin stared at him coldly. "It looks like you don't take me seriously."
Jake Shamus's expression changed, and he hurriedly said, "Alliance Leader, you've misunderstood. Actually …" Lu Yin raised a hand to stop Jake Shamus from continuing. "I'll only say this one last time. Within Frostwave Weave, you are not allowed to act against Wei Rong. If I find out that you have acted against him again, your Six-Fingered Tribe should be prepared to receive the Wei family's revenge. Although the Alliance Army serves and protects the Alliance, it will not pay for personal grievances."
Sweat dripped down Jake Shamus's forehead, but he did not say anything.
Lu Yin walked out. "I can change Adonis Weave's helming power to Greenpeak Gorge, and I can also change the helming power for Lars Weave." He then left.
Jake Shamus's entire body felt weak, and he felt some lingering fear.
He believed that Lu Yin would do as he said. It looked like he could not act against Wei Rong within Frostwave Weave. It was a pity that he had lost such a good opportunity.
"Seventh Bro, isn't it better for the Six-Fingered Tribe to kill Wei Rong?
That person is a huge threat, "the monkey said.
Lu Yin sneered. "Do you really think that Wei Rong is that easy to kill? If Wang Wen can survive an Enlighter's attack, then why can't Wei Rong do the same? Jake Shamus is an idiot. Assassinating him will only embarrass the Great Eastern Alliance, and I'll be the one losing face."
"You humans are too petty. You're not like our Astral Beast Domain, where strength is everything," the monkey said disdainfully.
"That's why you call yourselves beasts, and we call ourselves humans," Lu Yin retorted, leaving the monkey speechless for a long time.
Because the Great Eastern Alliance's first Alliance Conference had smoothly concluded, Zenyu Star celebrated for three consecutive days. Countless people celebrated, and the Great Yu Empire's status had risen to a new height in the universe.
Ku Wei was still trying to enter the imperial palace, but he was constantly being chased away. Huo Qingshan was getting impatient, and if not for Lu Yin's special care, he would have captured Ku Wei.
Xuan Jiu went around Zenyu Star, trying to read people's fortunes. However, one of the people that he had tricked was very persistent and followed him around. Whenever Xuan Jiu tried to read someone's fortune, that person would try to undermine him, which made him depressed.
With Zhao Ran constantly looking for him, Xuan Jiu decided to leave Zenyu Star.
The fish on Xi Qi's head was similarly depressed. Zenyu Star was celebrating, and there was noise everywhere. Its words were drowned out, and no matter how much it taunted others, no one could hear it.
Wei Rong leisurely strolled through the streets.
Zenyu Star had gained a few more Lockbreakers from Planet Hydrotink, and their presence often caused the people around them to cry out in surprise.
Zenyu Star was filled with cheers and laughter, and distant lights illuminated the city.
In King Zishan's palace, Lu Yin remained calm, and he did not raise his head to look at the three rings around the continent.
"You've accomplished something that Father has never been able to accomplish in his entire life." Wendy Yushan's voice came from behind him, followed by a cool fragrance.
Lu Yin smiled. "I was just lucky."
Wendy Yushan looked at the imperial palace with a complicated expression. "If you were lucky enough to unify the Eastern Frontier, then Father wouldn't be so depressed."
Lu Yin recalled Ku Wei's words, and he casually asked, "What kind of person is Undying Yushan?"
Wendy Yushan thought about it. "He's extremely talented, but he doesn't have enough opportunities. He's ambitious, but he doesn't have the means or strength to match his ambitions."
"You're really heartless to talk about your own father like that." Lu Yin found it funny.
Wendy Yushan remained silent.
Lu Yin said, "I'm sorry."
