Afterwards, leaders of the three nations erupted into an intense argument reminiscent of an unruly dispute...

Of course, Tairuo was the one at the forefront, charging ahead.

Meanwhile, Han Xu Yang mended the gaps from behind.

With an old fox like Han Xu Yang around, Tairuo’s impetuous remarks were always supplemented with logical perfection...

Leaving Anduin without a shred of retort.

Especially since Anduin was already at fault.

The explanation for that so-called time-space teleportation device, although it managed to brush off the issue, was actually quite the foolish explanation...

After all, by saying this, it signaled to everyone that the Baoxue Empire had developed an extremely advanced time-space teleportation device capable of directly transporting weapons into the enemy’s stronghold.

At such a time, deploying those powerful Star level Weapons in the Secret Realm was completely out of the question.

Unless he could truly explain how these weapons appeared in their Secret Realm and confirm that the Baoxue Empire didn’t have a space teleportation device at all...

But if he were to explain, the secret of the Secret Realm would absolutely not be kept.

So Anduin could only suffer in silence, with grievances untold.

He had to agree to the extremely reasonable conditions set by the other two nations... 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Never again casually display weapons on the border, and not even reveal these weapons without permission. If they found Baoxue Empire’s weapons on their lands again, it would be deemed a direct provocation, met with a stern response.

Agreed...

He could only agree, even as Anduin himself couldn’t figure out how the weapons got there...

preventing this possibility means ensuring those enemies never got their weapons.

It was a very humiliating meeting.

Carlos was so angry, his brow veins almost popped. To him, positioning these weapons and bombarding the Secret Realm would avenge the previous defeat.

Yet the two empires firmly held their ground, starkly warning, "If you dare fire, we dare to start a war..."

The Three Great Empires had enjoyed a century of peace.

Is it truly because they didn’t want to dominate Blue Star?

They simply couldn’t bear the consequences of starting a war...

Especially for Anduin, who believed, knowing the Secret Treasure issue now, was not the right time to initiate war until acquiring the treasure.

After all, he didn’t want to end up with a damaged Blue Star.

In this mindset...

As long as the demands weren’t too excessive, he would basically comply.

Under his deliberate concessions, an understanding quickly emerged among the three nations.

Weapons teleported into the territories of the Great Xia Empire and the Land of Light would be confiscated as lethal weapons.

The citizens harmed by these lethal weapons would receive compensation: victims would receive 5 million Snow Coins each, and the injured, 1 million each.

Even though Anduin was secretly cursing those lethal weapons, "Lethal weapon my ass... Does your family throw cannons as weapons?"

Moreover, this compensation is outrageously high, isn’t it?

The death benefits for our country’s warriors aren’t even a tenth of this.

But in this situation, he knew if he wanted to continue the Secret Realm campaign, he mustn’t offend the Great Xia Empire or the Land of Light, or else the Baoxue Empire would indeed become Blue Star’s public enemy.

He was not afraid to become a public enemy, but couldn’t afford it now.

He had to begrudgingly agree to everything.

And so.

The talks ended in a harmonious and good atmosphere.

"That’s all we can think of for now; any reasonable requests in the future will be supplemented at that time."

"Yes, but once more, I’d like to warn you, I don’t wish to see this level of military display... I have a constant feeling that any shots fired would end up on our territory."

"Apologies, it was my oversight."

Anduin thought today’s patience was all for the Baoxue Empire to one day become the Blue Star Empire.

So I endure.

Everyone stood up.

But Carlos kept his gaze fixed on Xu Lingjun.

Suddenly asked, "And this is..."

His question came abruptly.

After all, this was a leaders’ meeting of the three nations. Carlos might have a significant position, but clearly, here he had no right to speak.

That’s why when he spoke up, everyone was momentarily stunned.

Xu Lingjun slightly knit his brows. Had he not seen fear in Carlos’ eyes, he might have thought he was exposed.

Han Xu Yang smiled, "Oh, you mean Xu Lingjun? He’s the Commander in Chief of the Polar Star Battlefield, in charge of the Nine Major Military Regions... But, being young and inexperienced, I brought him here to observe and learn."

Anduin, while puzzled by Carlos’ intention, understood that his subordinate might have discovered something important from their many years together.

He praised, "Such a young Commander in Chief? Truly enviable. Seems like Xia Country will have another Grandmaster in a few years."

Han Xu Yang laughed heartily, "Hahaha, young people shouldn’t be too flattered, or they’ll get arrogant."

Carlos said, "Commander Xu, have we met somewhere before?"

Xu Lingjun smiled, "I don’t think so. I’ve always been stationed at the Polar Star Battlefield, engaged in combat with the Chi Yu mysterious clan. Before successfully eradicating the Chi Yu mysterious clan, I never left the Polar Star Battlefield, having no time to concern myself with the internal intrigues of Blue Star..."
