Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor-Chapter 945 - 944 Cooperation

"What do you mean?" Even Su Han was somewhat at a loss at the moment.

The words spoken earlier by King Taiyu and his subordinates, Su Han heard clearly. Even if they were to seek fortune, they would certainly destroy the Long Wind Empire, yet now he was casually chatting with him as if there was truly no enmity between them. Most crucially... he still didn’t know Su Han’s identity!

Unable to understand, Su Han looked at King Taiyu, waiting quietly for his explanation.

"You should be aware of the current situation of the Long Wind Empire."

King Taiyu glanced at Su Han and spoke eloquently, "If things continue like this, the Long Wind Empire will certainly be defeated, and you will be killed by the Four Great Empires, eternally falling in this place!"

Su Han nodded. Though he had experienced both the Ancient Times and the Distant Antiquity, he knew the reason he hadn’t died was that everything he had gone through occurred during these two eras. However, if someone from the Dragon Martial Continent were to kill him, he would surely die.

It would be true death, without resurrection!

King Taiyu’s words were both a threat and a bargaining chip.

"Continue," Su Han said.

"What I mean is, my Moon God Empire will secretly ally with the Long Wind Empire, while on the surface, the Long Wind Empire will still be a common enemy of the Four Great Empires. The Long Wind Empire currently has less than seven million troops. In the next battle, you will deploy all your forces, and at that time, my Moon God Empire will suddenly betray. Together, our two countries will have over ten million soldiers, enough to wipe out the other three great empires!"

King Taiyu’s eyes glittered as he stared intently at Su Han, showing expectation.

Su Han, on the other hand, frowned, seemingly in contemplation.

Yet inwardly, he thought, "So this guy’s plan is to use the Long Wind Empire to completely destroy the nine million troops of the other three great empires. In reality, his true targets are merely Xuanyuan Wuqing and Bai Ling. Once they’re eliminated, he might first aim to wipe me out!"

Su Han’s guess was correct, King Taiyu indeed had such intentions.

Given the current situation, it’s challenging to eradicate Xuanyuan Wuqing and Bai Ling. Who would have thought that King Qinghong’s body would suddenly get possessed?

Though unaware of the other’s identity, it didn’t hinder his plan.

King Qinghong’s strength had greatly diminished, and even possessing the opponent’s body would never make him a match. As long as he could use the Long Wind Empire’s hand to wipe out Xuanyuan Wuqing and Bai Ling, then killing King Qinghong and overthrowing the Long Wind Empire wouldn’t be too difficult!

If he could achieve such a flawless plan, the final fortune would surely belong to him, to the Sect of the Battle God!

Thinking of this, King Taiyu couldn’t help but feel excited.

Su Han interrupted, "I cannot agree to this because I cannot trust you. What if after deploying all my forces from the Long Wind Empire, you don’t fulfill your promise but instead lure our forces out and destroy them in one move? Then, I would perish here just the same."

King Taiyu was slightly taken aback; he hadn’t considered that, but relying merely on verbal assurances wasn’t enough to inspire trust.

"This is the Archaic Era; there exists the Archaic Pact here, akin to the Dragon Martial Contract on the Dragon Martial Continent. You should know its purpose."

King Taiyu flipped his palm, and immediately a piece of parchment appeared. He wrote swiftly on it, clearly about cooperation with the other side.

After finishing, he tossed the parchment to Su Han and said, "Have a look."

Su Han took the parchment, glanced at it for a moment, and nodded slightly.

On King Taiyu’s Archaic Pact, it was clearly written that he would lead the Moon God Empire to betray during combat and directly attack the other three great empires, otherwise, perish in both body and spirit.

Yet, this Archaic Pact only targeted King Taiyu, or rather Zhou Yufeng, not Su Han!

"Shouldn’t you sign one as well?"

Seeing Su Han nod, King Taiyu continued, "I’ve given you assurances, you should give me assurances as well. What if the Long Wind Empire doesn’t deploy all its forces when my Moon God Empire betrays? Then all accusations would point at me. I’d likely die even quicker than you!"

"Alright."

Su Han pondered briefly and also asked King Taiyu for a piece of parchment before writing some words on it.

What he wrote was a decision made after consideration, merely recording that the Long Wind Empire would deploy all its forces when war breaks out and so forth.

Both had their calculations, but outwardly seemed to be cooperatively engaging pleasantly. It was only after both signed the pacts, the parchments turned to ashes and dispersed into the sky that they simultaneously laughed.

"King Qinghong, appearing suddenly here, surely has its purpose, doesn’t it?"

King Taiyu smiled at Su Han, "Without this cooperation, the Long Wind Empire and Moon God Empire would probably be exchanging troops by now?"

"Indeed."

Su Han didn’t conceal anything and stated directly, "I brought six million troops this time; wiping out your Moon God Empire’s four million isn’t difficult."

"Does that mean I should thank you for this cooperation then?" King Taiyu asked with a smile.

Despite Su Han’s words, he felt no fear since his strength surpassed King Qinghong significantly. Even if the opponent had six million troops, so long as he killed King Qinghong first, the Long Wind Empire’s six million would naturally crumble and retreat. Thinking of wiping out four million from the Moon God Empire was just wishful thinking.

"Now that we are cooperating, shouldn’t you also withdraw your troops?" King Taiyu asked again.

"No rush."

Su Han responded calmly, "From the Long Wind Empire to here, it’s a long journey. They also need rest; once thoroughly rested, they’ll move for the return journey."

"Very well."

King Taiyu nodded, then said, "Then our cooperation will be set for... the battle three months from now?"

Su Han thought for a moment, agreed, "Alright."

King Taiyu once again smiled; in his view, everything was within his calculations. Once the troops of the other three great empires were destroyed, even if they grew angry, it would take time.

During this time, he could request troops from the Moon God Empire and wipe out the Long Wind Empire swiftly. When the other three great empires react, they would have already taken control over the Long Wind Empire.

By then, pressured by the three great empires, perhaps the Moon God Empire would allocate some irrelevant resources to them, and he could enjoy the benefits, taking everything, including the fortunes gained here, away with him!
