The next day, the alliance convened again, discussing how to deal with the situation. Led by Wolfric, the Adrune War Gods once again made a strong statement. As the alliance's commander-in-chief, Nathan must lead by example and mobilize a large-scale Eurasian army to fight against the vampires. To achieve the goal, even the War God of Xyperia, Tyrell, stepped forward and said, “I think Mr. Welz and the others have a point.”
“Mr. Cross, as the commander-in-chief of the alliance, if you don't even have a decent unit under your command, not even a bit of military strength, how can we trust you, and how can we feel at ease entrusting the armies of our respective countries to you for deployment? Now, I declare that Xyperia will send ten thousand warriors to join the battle against the vampires. We hope, Mr. Cross, that you will also agree to dispatch five hundred thousand Eurasian warriors to participate in the war.”
Nathan's face turned gloomy, but he didn't say anything yet.
The Jetroina's God of War, Hideo, stepped forward and exclaimed, “That's right! We, Jetroina, will also send five thousand warriors to join the battle. Mr. Cross, you must also show your commitment. There are so many capable and talented warriors in Eurasia. You must send five hundred thousand people to demonstrate your sincerity. If you disagree, I suggest you reconsider being the commander-in-chief of the alliance.”
Many people at the scene chimed in agreement. Even Leopold and Eugene IV fell silent. They looked at Nathan, waiting to see how he would respond. At this moment, Wolfric stood up smugly and said to Nathan, “Mr. Cross, I have great respect for you personally. However, as the commander-in-chief of the alliance, the troops you can deploy are all warriors from our countries. You don't have a single combat-ready unit under your command. Isn't that quite unreasonable?” Nathan said coldly, “Haha! Right now, the threat of the vampires is directed at Adrune. I'm here to help you deal with them, yet you demand that I mobilize countless warriors from my homeland to protect your country. Don't you think that's too much?” Nathan said this, looked at Tyrell, Eiken, and others, and sneered.
“Jetroina has sent 5,000 troops, but the land area and population of Remdik are not much less than ours in Eurasia. They are only sending ten thousand troops. Why should I be required to send five hundred thousand troops from my nation? Could it be that you all consider yourselves as dependent territories of Eurasia, always relying on us to handle matters?”
A dependent territory?
Wolfric immediately denied the claim. In his opinion, Ariarica was the world's overlord. They would never become a dependent territory of Eurasia. He said solemnly, “Of course, we are not a dependent territory of Eurasia. You simply feel that our demands are excessive. If asking for 500,000 troops is too much, how many warriors are you willing to commit?” Nathan raised a finger and said calmly, “Ten thousand!” Upon hearing this, Colin, who was standing behind Nathan, was taken aback. He had no idea that Eurasia was planning to send troops, and this was no small matter.
