Hearing William's words, everyone's faces showed confusion and dissatisfaction, and they all frowned.
They secretly murmured in their hearts, never expecting that the ruler of a kingdom could not even fully survey his own country's airspace.
Among them, Harold's reaction was the most intense. He widened his eyes, glared at William, and directly expressed his dissatisfaction:
"What did you say? If you can't even do this, who would believe you have the power to invade another world?"
His voice was filled with dissatisfaction and anger.
He then added:
"Don't let a space-time rift appear at your doorstep and you have to beg us for help!"
These words carried a hint of sarcasm and contempt, causing people to doubt the strength of the Azure Tide Kingdom.
"I'm a brave warrior! Not your babysitter!"
Although Harold's words were harsh, no one present stopped him.
After all, the Azure Tide Kingdom is at the bottom of the list in terms of strength and doesn't even have a single high-ranking dragon knight.
The fact that he could stand here and communicate with a group of high-ranking dragon knights and even sign his name on the contract was because everyone was doing it for the sake of the Royal Sapphire Dragon.
After all, the current Azure Tide Kingdom is just a lucky one.
If neighboring countries had the intention of invasion, it might have disappeared in the long river of history.
But it seems that this is the reason why they formed an alliance with the Holy Mithril Kingdom.
Thinking of this, William immediately turned his gaze to Gassoni.
After hesitating for a moment, Gassoni decided that he should help his allies. After all, he also needed the assistance of the Magic Blue Royal Gem Dragon.
Then he said:
"I will send someone to assist King William and complete the mission of high-altitude reconnaissance within the Kingdom of Azure Tide."
After the tasks were assigned, the eight kings agreed and expressed their willingness to undertake their respective tasks.
At this moment, Harold suddenly stood up and said:
"Wait! Your Majesty, have you forgotten the existence of the Sea People? The Mermaid Queen Gwendolyn is waiting outside the door. If we want to unify the world, the Sea People will become a huge obstacle we must face. Instead of confronting them head-on, it would be better..."
After saying this, he gestured a few times on his neck with his right hand, the meaning of which was self-evident.
However, his words did not receive much response.
Everyone just looked at him calmly, with no expression on their faces.
Harold couldn't help but feel a little confused. He wondered why these guys' attitude towards the sea people suddenly changed overnight.
It seems that it is no longer the same as before.
But he still firmly believes in his point of view.
After all, the sea people have always been a threat that cannot be ignored.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty Harold. The sea people are no longer enemies of humanity. They are the people under the rule of my kingdom and enjoy all the rights they deserve."
After Krober's words were spoken, most people nodded in satisfaction, except Harold who was a little confused.
He seemed to hear something, but didn't seem to understand.
But it was obvious that everyone was short of time, so no one planned to explain it in detail.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Harold felt embarrassed to continue asking questions. He vaguely felt that their attitude towards him seemed to have become somewhat contemptuous.
But he didn't know why. Was it because he didn't understand the deeper meaning hidden in Kroeber's words?
So Harold really hated those guys who spoke in a roundabout way. Wouldn't it be better to just say what he wanted to say?
He has to be so hesitant that it makes people confused.
Hearing this, Harold frowned, a sense of doubt rising in his heart.
He didn't understand the deeper meaning of Krober's words and felt as if he was excluded from this small group.
And this is not a good thing for him.
He secretly decided that if possible, he must find out the intentions and plans of these people.
He didn't want to be an outsider and be kept in the dark.
However, the situation at the moment did not allow him to ask further questions.
Everyone's attention turned in another direction and began to discuss other important matters.
Harold felt helpless and could only sit aside silently, waiting for more information.
He knew that now was not the right time and he needed to wait patiently for the right opportunity to solve the mystery.
"Let me share with you some information about the space-time rift..."
The meeting lasted about a whole morning, and the discussion ended around lunchtime.
They spent long and tense hours in the conference room, but ultimately reached many important consensuses and agreements.
After fierce debate, negotiation and compromise, everyone finally signed a large number of cooperation contracts on a series of cooperation matters.
These contracts cover various fields, including scientific and technological research and development, resource sharing, economic cooperation, etc.
They will promote closer ties and cooperation among countries and propel human society to a higher stage of development.
This conference has far-reaching historical significance. It not only changed the pattern of human society, but also influenced the direction of the future.
Historians believe that this conference was the cornerstone of a new era, marking the beginning of mankind's gradual move away from a divided political system and towards unity and centralization.
Over time, this trend intensified, eventually leading to a highly centralized political system with Kroeber at its core.
Such a system brings about more efficient decision-making mechanisms and resource allocation methods, enabling humans to better respond to various challenges.
This meeting also left its name in history books - the Conference of Eight Kings.
However, no one knew at that time that this meeting would become one of the turning points in human destiny.
Now they are heading to the castle's banquet hall to attend the banquet.
"Your Majesty Gassoni, do you have enough manpower to scout the floating islands above the borders of the two countries?"
William deliberately walked at the back of the team and had an encrypted conversation with Gassoni Shining Silver.
Gasoni used magic to block the sound to prevent others from hearing it.
"It's not enough, but what can you do? Who else can you ask for help?"
Gassoni's tone was a little unpleasant, but William could understand it. After all, he was the one who tricked the other party first.
In terms of overall strength, there are only two countries that can deploy manpower to help the Azure Tide Kingdom, namely the Citrine Jade Crown Kingdom and the Topa Kingdom.
But judging from Ashadron's expression, he didn't seem to have any intention of helping.
As for the Kingdom of Topa, it would be even more impossible for William to ask for help.
From the day he ascended the throne, the Topa Kingdom relied on its own powerful strength to make things difficult for him everywhere. Not only did it annex a large number of the Azure Tide Kingdom's land trade routes, it even snatched away many of his business partners!
