Surprisingly, Wolfric did not disagree with Nathan. He slowly said, “I, too, think that Mr. Cross' suggestion is the best plan we can come up with. Moreover, I think we should form an alliance to hunt down the leaders of the dark clan first. Once most of the leaders have been taken down, the rest of the armies of various countries can then begin wiping out the remaining vampires and werewolves to re-establish world peace.”
A pause after, he icily added, “But I think we shouldn't cast aside the idea of using nuclear weapons against them. If the alliance doesn't stop the dark clan from expanding, I think we'll still have to use nuclear weapons to deal with them. We would rather sabotage most of the lands on earth than let these pieces of trash challenge the leadership of mankind on earth.”
At that, Nathan, Eugene IV, Leopold, and the others could not help but furrow their brows.
It seemed like the Adrune nations were adamant about using nuclear weapons to rid the dark clan if the alliance did not work out.
By then, their decision would spell a catastrophe for the dark clan, the humans, and the rest of the world.
Therefore, everyone had to do their best to cut down the vampires and werewolves before things took a turn for the worse.
Eugene IV could feel the pressure of the situation. Turning to the rest of the Gods of War, he asked, “What about the others? Do you agree with their suggestions, or do you have any other opinions?”
The Gods of War all shared looks with each other, but none dared to protest the suggestions at all.
Tyrell, the God of War of Xyperia, then said, “Xyperia agrees with it.”
The God of War of Jetroina, Eiken, also voiced their agreement.
The other Gods of War soon followed suit in expressing their agreement with the formation of the alliance to defeat the dark clan.
Eugene IV nodded in satisfaction when he saw that everyone was in agreement. In a low voice, he continued, “Since we're forming an alliance—the Hundred Nations Gods of War Alliance—we'll have to pick a commander-in-chief and several deputy commanders. Please feel free to nominate the ideal person in your mind. It can be someone else, or it can be yourself.”
Right as those words were out of Eugene IV's mouth, the people started discussing who would be the best choice for the position.
Right then, Eugene IV discreetly glanced at Hepburn, who promptly knew what he wanted.
Standing up, Hepburn cleared her throat loudly.
Everyone instinctively fell quiet and focused on her.
When she noticed that, she smiled and started, “Esteemed attendees, in my mind, there is a perfect candidate for the alliance's commander-in-chief, and that is our pope, Eugene IV.”
Everyone whipped their heads around to look at Eugene IV in shock.
Eugene IV had a look of surprise at the start, but he seemed to soon recompose himself and incline his head at the rest of the people.
Still smiling, Hepburn continued, “The Curia has been doing everything we can to fight against the dark clan all this while, and our pope has been working to his bone for the sake of peace for humankind. Moreover, he is the one who has united the Gods of War of a hundred nations. I believe it would be perfect if he were to be the commander-in-chief while Mr. Cross, Mr. Welz, and Mr. Remington take on the role of the deputy commanders. What do you think?”
