Chapter 844 – Littered with Famous Friends

Just as the Federation President was thinking, there was a secret meeting on the other side of the city in the skies. The ones having a meeting were the core members of Silver Hand, known as the silver fingers.

The five of them were all elderly and the youngest among them was already over 65 years old. They were the people behind the top five aristocratic families in the world.

Before this, the actions of the Silver Hand toward Shanhai City did not alert these five. In their eyes, Ouyang Shuo was just a little kid fresh out of the pan, and they did not need to personally pay attention to him.

Their views were the same as that of the Federation President.

Only because Shanhai City was on the verge of establishing the country did the situation change. On this night, the five of them finally sat together and discussed their strategy to deal with Shanhai City.

The speaker was the leader of Silver Hand; his codename was Number 1. Only to hear him say, “It seems like even if other regions help, Yanhuang Alliance will not be able to suppress Shanhai City. I think we should adjust our strategy and hit their overseas power to keep them in China. Then no matter how strong they are, they would not be able to shake the roots of our organization.”

The others did not express any other views, and only Number 2’s face turned black; he was the grandfather of Di Chen.

When Number 1 saw that, he smiled and said, “Number 2, you do not need to be depressed. The organization will continue to support you. No matter what, we need Yanhuang Alliance to hold off Shanhai City. If you need technology, weapons, or talents, it’s all one word away.”

Number 2 nodded in silence, to face such a matter, he could not only blame his luck. Why was there such an anomaly in China?

Speaking of which, Number 2 had met Ouyang Shuo before.

That was still during the 1st year of Gaia when Feng Qiuhuang wanted to leave the Feng Family and Ouyang Shuo helped support her.

At that time, was really Ouyang Shuo too flashy and rash, so Number 2 did not have a high opinion of him.

Who would have guessed that in a short three years that crazy young man would become a crafty king, pressing down on Yanhuang Alliance to the point where they could not breathe?

Even Feng Qiuhuang had soared into the sky, turning things around and becoming the head of the Feng Family.

In comparison, his grandson’s growth was not much.

“This game truly trains people.” Number 2 exclaimed. Without Ouyang Shuo, that anomaly, he would probably feel delighted about his grandson’s growth.

The goal of the Federation when they first designed the game was pretty much achieved.

Luckily, the five of them were all used to the huge changes of the world. Although Ouyang Shuo was stellar, it was not worth them putting in effort to deal with him. After a short reminder, the matter was settled.

Number 1 concluded, “The Mediterranean must prepare themselves; we must not let Shanhai City truly rise up. If not, we might have some problems.”

When Number 4 heard that, he nodded. He was the true ruler of the Mediterranean.

After discussing about Shanhai City, the five of them turned to discuss other matters. They talked about interesting things such as their children and their family; they were really close and got along really well.

In comparison, they were more relaxed than the Federation President.

Gaia 4th year, 4th month, 17th day, Shanhai City.

Tomorrow was the coronation ceremony and Shanhai City had started to get nervous and busy. The preparation work for the various rituals had come to an end, and they were doing the last minute rehearsals.

The entire city was covered in a noble gold and a festive red, and all the middle streets were covered with thick carpets. The Guards Legion Corps members wore red armor and patrolled the streets; especially the central street, which had been cleared out a day earlier.

No random people were allowed to get close.

The various significant buildings were all decorated and were several times grander than during the Lantern Festival. Civilians, merchants, and schools all acted and decorated their own places.

As for the imperial city where the ceremony was going to be held, it was even grander. Every street was covered in red carpet embroidered with many auspicious diagrams.

On each street of the imperial city, there would be a Guards Legion Corps member guarding every hundred meters. Each gate of the office was protected by squads of guards. The three thousand Divine Martial Guards were in charge of defending the palace.

The entire imperial city was exceedingly solemn, and there was not a single room for games. The officials who passed by were all tense and did not dare to speak loudly.

The plaque of the Nanjiang Governor General House was taken down and replaced with a plaque with the words Xia Palace.

The square in front of the Xia Palace had a reviewing stand set up in preparation for the military parade. During the coronation, Shanhai City would hold an unprecedentedly huge military parade.

Guards Legion Corps, City Protection Legion Corps, Dragon Legion Corps, Tiger Legion Corps, and Leopard Legion Corps would all send their most elite regiment over. The various Garrison Divisions would all send one regiment too. Additionally, the navy would send a post of soldiers, including a Firearms Squad, and the Marine Corps that were still in training at the special forces base would also send a regiment over.

The Yashan Squadron would send a unit to patrol Friendship River.

During the military parade, there would be 12 P1 Type Cannons on display. Even the recently created War Elephant Force would send out nine war elephants. During the parade, the Flying Squad would have aerial performances.

The only ones not participating would be the Divine Martial Guards. During the coronation tomorrow, they would be beside Ouyang Shuo and would not be able to remove themselves to join in the parade, making them feel really regretful.

Apart from the Shanhai City Army, Fallen Phoenix City, Stone City, and Black Lion City would all send a regiment to participate as a form of an Alliance Army.

Over 30 thousand people participated in the military parade.

At this juncture, all the forces participating had gathered in Shanhai City and were camping at the imperial city Guards Legion Corps base, practicing day and night in preparation. … At 9 AM, Atlantis Queen Kalia and her group arrived in Shanhai City through the Jidian City teleportation formation.

Ouyang Shuo personally rushed over to welcome her.

Kalia and her group exceeded Ouyang Shuo’s expectation. Apart from her envoy, there were actually 10 Mediterranean Lords who had followed along.

Ouyang Shuo instantly understood; this was the surprise that Kalia had previously mentioned. She had really put in effort. Knowing that Shanhai City was in trouble, she had tried to help him.

“This is Shanhai City? It’s so majestic!”

Even though she was from the mysterious Atlantis City, Kalia did not try to hide her praise for Shanhai City. Both cities had their own styles and represented the different cultures and charms of each region.

Kalia smiled and started to introduce the 10 Lors to Ouyang Shuo. One could tell that the 10 of them really respected her. Who knows what method she used?

Ouyang Shuo shook hands with all of them.

“Please!”

After the greetings, Ouyang Shuo personally led the way.

To welcome the VIPs, the Construction Division specially turned the house used to welcome the philosophers into an inn to welcome the guests.

Naturally, it was luxurious.

In the inn, Ouyang Shuo had a half an hour conversation with Kalia alone, mainly talking about the latest developments. Speaking about this topic, Kalia put away her smile.

She reminded, “Ouyang, the Mediterranean is really unstable, you must be careful.”

Ouyang Shuo nodded and mentioned Silver Hand to her.

When Kalia heard that, she was astonished.

“No wonder the members of the Mediterranean Alliance were all so unsettled and even Henry did not agree to come. If that’s the case, can you handle it?” Kalia was a little worried.

Ouyang Shuo smiled, “It might be tough, but I’ll be fine.”

“That’s great.” Kalia smiled and suddenly teased, “Ouyang, I want to see your wife. I want to see what kind of woman managed to obtain your heart.”

Ouyang Shuo smiled as he shook his head; western women were just so bold.

“Ok, I’ll let someone send you to the palace. You two can have a chat.”

Kalia smiled and clapped, “That’s great!”

Ouyang Shuo’s schedule today was full. Kalia was a thoughtful person, so she did not keep him for long. She smiled and said, “Ouyang, go get busy!”

“Have fun.” Ouyang Shuo said goodbye and left.

… Kalia seemed to have been a great start as many VIPs continued to arrive. Without a doubt, everyone who came today was an ally.

The Yellow Emperor Tribe, the Fire Emperor Tribe, and the Shang King Tribe all arrived one by one. What surprised him was that in the delegation sent by Fire Emperor, there was Nuwa.

After not meeting for three years, that little girl had become a pretty teen.

“Brother Ouyang!” Nuwa greeted.

Ouyang Shuo smiled. Who knows why, but he had a favorable impression of Nuwa all along. Nuwa also knew that Ouyang Shuo had secretly sent someone to protect her in the Battle Map to save her life, which was why she felt really close to him.

However, after entering the wilderness, the Fire Emperor did not allow her to go out. If not, she would have run over to Shanhai City to play with Ouyang Shuo.

Hearing that Ouyang Shuo was going to become a king, she begged the Fire Emperor to let her follow the delegation. The Fire Emperor had no choice and finally agreed to her request.
