Hearing what Alvis said, Krober couldn't help but be surprised.
When did his brother-in-law finally come to his senses?
This really caught him off guard!
However, after Krober observed the Emerald Dragon's facial expression, he could already tell something from it.
"Haha, brother-in-law, you and I are family. Since you asked, I will naturally not hide it from you."
Krober smiled slightly, a glint of understanding in his eyes.
"To be honest, with my current strength, I'm more than capable of crushing most countries. To say I don't have any further plans is naturally impossible."
He paused, his eyes fell on Alvis, and continued:
"So, brother-in-law, what are you thinking? Do you want to be with me? Or stand against me?"
Kroeber's tone was calm, but it contained an invisible pressure.
After all, his current strength has surpassed most people, and his decision will affect the pattern of the entire continent.
Although Alvis is his elder brother-in-law, he is also the ruler of the Emerald Kingdom and one of the most honorable upper dragon knights on this continent.
Alvis was silent for a moment, then slowly raised his head, looked at Krober and said:
"I know your ambition and strength, but I don't want to see the continent plunged into chaos and war."
"If you really intend to go further, then I hope you can consider the interests of the people and not let them suffer unnecessary harm."
Krober nodded, indicating that he understood Alvis's thoughts.
"Don't worry, no matter what, things between you and me will never go to the worst possible path."
No matter what the outcome of the talks is, there should be no war and both sides can handle this issue in a peaceful manner.
To be honest, it was indeed a bit too early for him to discuss this topic with Alvis now. After all, the Winged People had not yet been eliminated, and humans were still facing the threat of external enemies.
Originally, he planned to wait for some time and have Veronica personally discuss the matter with her brother Alvis.
After all, the two brothers and sisters have always had a very good relationship. Alvis was even willing to give up the southern wasteland area of the Emerald Kingdom for Veronica and make it Veronica's duchy.
This situation is rare in the human kingdom, which is full of power struggles and conflicts of interest.
Because of this, Krober developed a certain degree of trust in Alvis.
After all, the other party's emphasis on family affection is in line with his interests, because Krober is also one of Alvis's few "relatives".
So, when Alvis heard the idea proposed by Krober, he fell into deep confusion.
He had not yet answered Krober's question. When he asked about his position, he was also indirectly asking him whether the Emerald Kingdom was willing to submit to him.
Fortunately, the Emerald Dragon had already given him a heads-up before, so he was relatively calm at the moment.
If it had happened just now, I'm afraid Alvis would have been like a cat whose tail was stepped on, with his fur standing up straight away, and he would have rejected Krober's proposal on the spot.
However, after the Emerald Dragon's persuasion and guidance, he also thought seriously for a while.
At present, Krober's strength has indeed far exceeded any of the seven kingdoms, and annexing other countries is almost a foregone conclusion.
Otherwise, how could Krober, who has three contracted superior dragons, raises a tidal dragon, and has a superior dragon knight loyal to him, tolerate other weak countries to be on equal footing with him?
Take the Azure Tide Kingdom as an example. The entire country can hardly put together a team of lower-level dragon knights, and there is only one upper-level dragon to barely hold the situation together.
Not to mention Krober, even Aditya, whose national strength has been greatly weakened, is ready to make a move.
If Gassoni had not passed away, the army of the Holy Mithril Kingdom would have already begun the invasion.
After all, not everyone is like Ashardlon, who immerses himself in academic research and is committed to opening up a new field of magic for mankind.
In this world, most people are vulgar and are obsessed with worldly things such as power, strength, status, and glory.
Even a high-ranking dragon knight like him is not immune to this.
"Just as you said... We are one family, so there's no need for us to have different opinions."
"The Emerald Kingdom will always stand on the same side with the Amethyst Ocean Kingdom."
Alvis's words were subtle, but the deep meaning behind them was clear.
Krober showed a look of satisfaction and gently patted his brother-in-law on the shoulder.
In fact, he did not want to break up with Alvis completely. After all, the latter was Veronica's only living direct blood relative. If an accident really happened, Veronica might go crazy.
Fortunately, this time he reached a consensus with his brother-in-law, further strengthening the relationship between their two countries.
The most important thing is that Alvis has already shown signs of respecting the Amethyst Ocean Current Kingdom as the leader.
This alone is enough to satisfy Kroeber.
As for what happens next, we can only leave it to time to slowly ferment and grow.
After all, it is a big deal, and Krober still needs to give Alvis some time.
"The battle here is over. Brother-in-law, you will lead the army to the central area. I will have Deep Purple assist you, while I will take Ocean Current and Aurora to the northern defense zone to assist His Majesty Ashardron and His Majesty Azure."
Round Rainbow Dragon, Rainwater Dragon and Campbell are dead, Tunguska is missing, and Aurora Dragon is contracted by him.
Then the only ones left of the Winged People are the Atmospheric Dragon, its contracted partner Salem, and a Cloud Sea Dragon.
It just so happens that the northern defense zone also has two superior dragons and a superior dragon knight, and their strength is equal.
But this is the dragons' home ground after all, and Krober was afraid that Ashardron and Azure would suffer losses, so he came up with the idea of supporting the northern defense zone.
As long as Salem dies, the Winged People can be declared defeated.
In this way, when the seven-nation coalition divides the wealth of the Winged People, he can get more based on his contribution.
Originally, the Winged People should not have had many good things, but they attacked five countries after all.
Among them, the Azure Tide Kingdom was completely robbed, and the Holy Mithril Kingdom was directly declared dissolved.
Although only the capitals of the other three countries were attacked, there were treasures there that the kings had collected for many years.
If it were through ordinary methods and channels, Krober would probably have to spend a lot of money to get it.
But now, he only needs to perform well and increase his contribution, and he can easily obtain rare treasures collected by other kings.
