Battle of Ascension - 408 Seven Envoys

15 days after Devil Apostle defeat, now there was no longer a guild called Devil Apostle anymore. Of course. The news regarded Devil Apostle defeated by a guild from Asia Continent quickly traveled to the public, whether it was a guild of Asia or a guild of Europe.

It was huge and shocking news for Europe while the public of Asia cheered over the Happy Guild win against Devil Apostle. After all, Happy Guild considered a representative of Asia Continent, of course, the happiest were the people who immigrated to Happy Guild’s territory.

Destroying a big guild from Europe meant Happy Guild could protect their territory from a guild of Europe, just in case the guild from Europe decided to invade Asia. That meant the people who stayed at Happy Guild’s territory would be safe from the flame of war.

The news made the Happy Guild’s residents cheered and this was also a reason that news traveled fast to Asia.

As for Europe, everyone got to know Devil Apostle destroyed because of the survived Devil Apostle’s people spread the news that a guild from Asia Continent destroyed their guild.

Of course, the survived Devil Apostle’s people were not doing this for no reason. They were doing this to avenge for their guild, killing with a borrowed knife. It was what the survived Devil Apostle’s people did right now.

Russia was a territory full of resources and many guilds in Europe set their eyes at Russia. But they did not want to wage a war against Devil Apostle because of no one dared to start it.

If they start to attack Devil Apostle, then the other guild would take advantage later. However, it was different now it was a foreign guild who took Russia from Devil Apostle. That meant the other guilds would unite to force the foreign guild out from Europe.

And the survived Devil Apostle’s people worked well. 15 days later, seven guilds sent their envoy to Bedlam which was now White Ivory.

Five envoys from the five top guilds as such Wind, Royal Knight, House of God, Heroes Land, and Saint. The other two envoys were coming from the new rising guild, Panzer and Starlight.

But of course, Randy already prepared for what would come today. He had chosen the right person to face these envoys. Pristine Auvil, Randy had chosen Pristine to talk with these envoys.

…

Inside the hall within the Ivory Fortress.

There was a hall called Throne Hall, Throne Hall used to be a place where the Lords and their subordinate gathered to discuss the future of Devil Apostle.

But now, this hall used to greet the guests as Long Xinya and Zhen Yi had not rearranged the fortress interior. There were 21 Thrones, but only 5 Thrones filled, Randy, Zhen Yi, Long Xinya, Udin, and Gusti.

In front of 21 Thrones, there were many seats. The seat arranged like the seats inside a church. Randy felt if the seats filled with the people it was more like a cult meeting. But fortunately, the seats only filled with 10 people.

Out of ten people, seven people were the envoy while the other three people were Pristine while the other two were Pristine’s friend. Yes, the two women beside Pristine were an ex-guild member of Light House.

After Devil Apostle destroyed by Happy Guild, Pristine began searching for the survived Light House guild member. The result was effective and about 200 of Light House guild member gathered in White Ivory.

They were the one who would talk with the seven envoys while Randy watched from his seat. But before the talk even began, there was the middle-aged man wearing a black suit. Even though the suit not as good as before, but it looked fancy in the current era.

“I will only talk if it’s your guild leader meet me face to face. I don’t care if you are an ex-guild member of Light House or whatever guild. Let me be clear, I only talk to your guild leader!”

Meanwhile, the seven envoys could not see Randy and the others were sitting on the throne. There was a black curtain covered the throne. So they did not know the leader of Happy Guild behind the black curtain.

The middle-aged man in a suit was about in the mid-forties. The white beard made him peculiar amongst the seven envoys. He was Charles, an envoy sent by Wind.

He looked mature and sharp. It was as if he had experienced many battles, but he also looked quite arrogant.

However, Pristine did not care what Charles said to her. She pointed her finger toward the hall’s entrance, with a smile she said, “The exit is there! You can go if you do not want to talk!”

If she was still in Light House, she would not act like this. She would be more polite and patient, but not in Happy Guild. Long Xinya had instructed her how to act before these envoys. She of course followed the instruction.

“You…” Charles pointed his finger toward Pristine, but no words came out from his mouth. He took a deep breath.

“Can you be responsible for what you said? Do you know who I am, right? I am sure you know what my guild can do to your guild, right?” Charles threatened Pristine.

Meanwhile, the other six envoys watched the fun from the sideline. They did not interfere with Pristine and Charles confrontation.

“Heh, this is why I only talk with the guild leader. A mere subordinate like you can’t be responsible for your words. In the end, you will only back to your guild leader to discuss further. It only wastes my time!” Charles added

Pristine did not respond at Charles and Charles thought it because his words hit the right spot. But then, he realized Pristine just ignored him.

She was looking at the other six envoys. From her gaze, it was clear Pristine was asking if they had the same thought as him. If yes, maybe Pristine would ask the other envoy to go out too. He realized Pristine was not deterred by his words.

Sure enough, Pristine next words confirmed his guest.

“If you only want to talk with my guild leader, then you guys also can go out. The exit is there!” Once again, Pristine pointed the exit with her hand.

“However, if you do not mind to talk with me, then we will continue the talk!”

Charles wanted to storm out of the hall. But he remembered what his guild leader trusted to him. He could not go out yet, he had to convey his guild leader’s words and intention.

Charles sat back with a full load of resentment.

15 minutes later…

Seven envoys told everything respective guild intention for coming here. Each guild conveyed a different message, but the content was the same. Practically, they wanted Happy Guild to share the territory in Russia to them. In exchange, they would not “disturb” the Happy Guild in Europe. Not disturbing meant they would not attack Happy Guild to take the territories by force.

Gorsk Territory, for example, Wind Guild asked Gorsk Territory and other three territories with many mines. It was such an absurd request to ask from Happy Guild.

But the same as before, Pristine was not surprised by the seven envoys’ request. She smiled even as the Long Xinya already told her about this.

“Before answering your request, I will tell you guys Happy Guild’s main purpose for coming to Europe with no intention of war against your guild over territory. We come with peace as our purpose is to conquer the unconquered territory. As for your guild request…”

Pristine shook her head and let out a chuckle.

“Hehe, your guild can take the territories that remain unconquered in Russia. Take example the territory in the north and south, you guys can take it with your force.

Happy Guild will not step in those territories for a week. After a week we will move our forces to conquer those territories. So, Happy Guild will give your guild a week time to take those territories.

As for the territories, you guys asked…” Pristine smiled, her smile grew even wider, “We will not give it out, even one. But if you forced your way to take those territories, it’s the same as a war declaration to Happy Guild, ”

Instantly after Pristine finished her words, Charles immediately stood up and asked with a stern look, “Are you sure about this?”

Pristine however responded with a stern look too, copying Charles expression. Even without answering, Charles already got the answer.

“I hope your guild won’t regret your decision!” After spitting these words out, Charles walked toward the entrance. But in the half-way, Pristine called him.

“Oi, Old Men! I have some information that you need to know before your guild can make a decision. Maybe your guild can use this information as a consideration before coming with a decision.

Happy Guild suffered no casualties to destroy Devil Apostle. Maybe this information is useful for your guild!” Pristine added.

Charles stopped his steps when he heard this. Even though he did not know whether the truth or Pristine just bluffed to threaten him and the other envoys. But it was indeed shocking him and maybe he should have suggested investigating Happy Guild first to the guild leader later.

He continued walking toward the entrance and got out of the hall. After that, four other envoys also followed after Charles while two envoys stayed.
