Chapter 396: Scarlet Disaster.
The outer circle of the Chaos Islands.
In this vast sea area, there is an important location mainly in the eastern region.
There is an island governed by three ordinary kingdoms.
Purple Stone Island. This island produces a medium-sized but extremely large mineral resource, enough for the three kingdoms to develop for thousands of years.
Purple gold stone is a kind of golden magic material with very good magical conductivity.
It can be said that the natural magical conductivity of the synthetic magic metal is stronger than that of ordinary steel, which is then covered with a large number of magic patterns and then improved.
After refining, it can even be compared with the top craftsmanship of the major kingdoms.
Even the empire has purchased this huge amount of mineral resources.
The importance of this island in the Chaos Islands is no less than that of Benati Island, which Arden still uses as his residence.
Because this place's water transportation and strategic position were very important, it was divided among three kingdoms.
These three kingdoms both confronted and united, thus ensuring that the original four kingdoms on the Twin Islands did not interfere.
It is not as chaotic as other important nodes, but a rich place where money is made every day.
But, it seems that misfortune is destined to happen here.
Compared with other forces, and even with the entire Modo planet, its strength is definitely one of the best. The incarnation of a certain evil god has arrived here.
"squeak!"
As He descended into a forest, a remote corner.
A large number of virtual blood-colored bats appeared around him.
The thick blood mist was invisible and odorless, but extremely conspicuous, spreading in all directions of the jungle.
The evil god began to cause disasters.
-------------------------------------
"Boom"
Arden, who had transformed into a human form, sat on the main seat in front of the luxurious, huge long table in the palace and tapped the table lightly.
The clear sound echoed throughout this huge palace.
Apart from him, the envoys from the remaining three kingdoms are all legends, but there are differences in their strength.
"The demonic tide has arrived, and you have seen it. What has the Chaos Islands become now? I wonder if you have received any inside information."
As soon as Arden opened his mouth, the envoys from the three kingdoms were startled for a moment.
What inside information?
Arden looked at them and his curiosity was aroused at once. After breaking their train of thought and attracting their attention at once, he couldn't help laughing in his heart.
But he still looked serious and repeated in detail the information he had received from Bucks.
They were relieved that the demonic tide would subside a little after ten years, but when they learned about the abyss layer, all three were swallowed up by the Mordo world.
The envoys from the three kingdoms immediately looked as ugly as if they had just eaten a fly.
These three have lived for hundreds of years and have long had their own insights. The spell of lies had already been started, and there was no movement at all, which meant that Arden was probably telling the truth.
Three full abyss layers, doesn't that mean that in the next 100 years of the Chaos Islands, or even longer, during the entire demon tide, there will be a large number of demons, and even abyss lords?
How could they possibly resist a monster that was at least legendary, perhaps even at the peak of legend or even demigod?
"So in this situation we must save ourselves, otherwise at least half of the creatures on the Chaos Islands will die."
Finally, when Arden finished saying this, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became cold.
Arden's words were very clear. The four countries must unite. Otherwise, except for the Silver Dragon Kingdom, which might still have some doubts, the remaining three kingdoms would most likely either perish or be seriously damaged in this disaster.
"What do you think?"
Looking at the three people who had been silent for ten minutes and still hadn't spoken.
Arden spoke without any change in appearance.
-------------------------------------
After Arden finished speaking, the envoys of the three kingdoms knew that they could not escape. They pushed each other away, and in the end, no one took the initiative to speak.
They are now very conflicted, not wanting to give the initiative to other countries, but also not wanting to see the country perish. For the sake of the safety of the kingdom.
They hoped that Arden would give them some time to inform the king.
Arden readily agreed to their request.
His personal plan was to take advantage of this chaos and find a way to form an alliance and slowly extend his influence to the other three kingdoms.
First, take command of the joint army, then the economy, culture and even the people's inclinations!
During these hundreds of years of chaos, the major empires, out of self-preservation considerations, simply could not devote too much force to the Chaos Islands.
If it were in peacetime, Arden would want to spread his power or influence to the entire Chaos Islands.
That would definitely require war, and would definitely be strongly obstructed by the two great empires, the Magical Machinery Empire and the Ryan Empire, located on the east and west sides of the Chaos Islands respectively.
At the beginning, Arden chose Suning Island as its territory.
Instead of some places in the Southern Storm Ocean or the Northern Storm Ocean, they regard the Chaos Islands as the basis for their own success.
Encountering such a chaotic opportunity as the Demonic Tide was both beneficial and dangerous for Arden.
At least there is no obstruction from the Empire. Without the support of the Empire, the three kingdoms are not on the same level at all. Just the rapidly developing Silver Dragon Kingdom alone, Arden has a 50% chance of defeating two of them. If there are three, think twice before acting, and if it is the defensive side, it can barely resist.
Strong strength supports Arden's ambition.
Arden built this alliance through unconscious and slow soft aggression in terms of influence.
When the armies of the three kingdoms habitually obey and receive news from the alliance, Arden can make this alliance a reality.
This is just like a certain big country in Arden's previous life, which used a huge danger to unite forces that might have become competitors and turned them into its own logistics.
Arden believed that in this chaotic moment, the three kingdoms had at most retained a portion of their military forces, and their countries should only have high-level legends but not peak legends.
Chaos has broken out now, which is not the true level of these kingdoms with deep strength. But if they are really sure and confident to survive this war, they will not take the initiative to shrink their forces and cause some disturbances.
Such strength can only be preserved for a while at best, and will certainly be severely damaged in the future. If one wants to preserve the current status, changes must be made.
Therefore, there is still a good chance that his meeting will be successful.
We must eventually bow down to the cruel reality.
If success is not possible, then Arden can only find a way to create a "threat".
Arden would never allow his plans to be thwarted.
At the very least, after the establishment of this alliance, even if he is not allowed to annex the three kingdoms, he must make the three kingdoms actually be influenced by him and become subordinate states of the Silver Dragon Kingdom, or listen to him.
He could also serve as the leader and become the most powerful person in the Chaos Islands.
-------------------------------------
The information provided by Arden was passed through three legends from different kingdoms. In less than 15 minutes, as the meeting was temporarily adjourned, it reached the ears of the kingdom's top nobles and the king, who were quietly waiting for the details of the meeting.
Arden's proposal to the alliance is: 1. As the leader of the alliance, the Silver Dragon Kingdom will protect other members of the alliance in the future. 2. Member states are not allowed to withdraw without the consent of all other members. 3. Member states are obliged to help other members in times of crisis, and the leader must help...
In general, it completely respected the face of each country, and even shocked the kings of the three kingdoms, because Arden neither asked for a high price nor set any vague terms, but explained the situation very straightforwardly.
It was even said that he was cutting his own "flesh" to help the three kingdoms.
For a moment, they didn't know what Arden was thinking.
People of this era don't understand what Arden is thinking. When they truly accept Arden's benefits and gain peace in troubled times, will the people and nobles of the kingdom give up all this?
Their king would also be effectively sidelined.
What Arden had expected to see finally happened about an hour later, with the rejoining of the three messengers.
After making sure that there were no major problems, Arden really wanted to take the initiative to unite the three countries, and even took out part of his own troops to help the three countries.
Faced with the increasingly collapsing situation of the Chaos Islands and the terrifying internal factors behind it, the three countries were terrified and finally chose to agree.
