Chapter 1725: Chapter 545: The Eve (Part 2)
Otaine said to Su Ming.
“That’s right, as long as we can do it, we will never refuse!”
Jikol also followed with a comment.
Upon hearing this, Su Ming said to Otaine and the others.
“Alright, then I’ll be direct. Actually, the reason I came to the Land of Lost this time is to seek cooperation and help.”
“Sir, if you need any assistance, just say the word.”
Otaine and Jikol looked at Su Ming and said.
“It’s like this, the Dark Star Empire is about to engage in an all-out war with the Federation. The Dark Star Emperor is gathering the army to personally lead an expedition. Right now, the Dark Star Empire is vulnerable internally, and I hope you two can take this opportunity to attack the Dark Star Empire.”
Su Ming smiled and said to Otaine and Jikol.
Originally, Su Ming’s plan was to persuade the Holy Army, but now the situation has changed. The fools of the Dark Star Empire had a falling out with the Land of Lost, so he decided to try to persuade the entire Land of Lost to side with the Federation.
“No problem, our Holy Army has long wanted to attack the Dark Star Empire!”
Jikol heard Su Ming’s words and agreed without any hesitation.
Upon hearing Su Ming’s words, Otaine’s face immediately showed hesitation. Although the Dark Star Empire is now low on troops and had attacked them, if they dare attack the Dark Star Empire, the Emperor would definitely destroy the Land of Lost afterward.
“Lord Otaine?”
Su Ming noticed Otaine hadn’t made a statement and smiled as he asked.
“Lord Su Ming, it’s not that we can’t attack the Dark Star Empire, but there needs to be some guarantee, right?”
Otaine took a deep breath and said.
In fact, it was understandable that Otaine hesitated, as it meant risking everything they had.
“That’s no problem, I can promise on behalf of the Federation Government that the Federation will protect the Land of Lost!”
Su Ming, of course, understood the concerns of Otaine and the others.
After listening to Su Ming, Otaine smiled and said.
“Sir Su Ming, not to be unkind, but we are all outlaws and don’t trust the Federation Government’s promises.”
“So what do you mean?”
Su Ming asked politely.
“We only trust you, Lord Su Ming. How about this? If you don’t mind, we three could swear brotherhood?”
Otaine asked with a full smile.
As long as Su Ming agreed to become sworn brothers, the Land of Lost would be seen as aligning itself with Su Ming.
Su Ming was a bit surprised by Otaine’s proposal, but after thinking carefully, he found it acceptable.
From their battles in the arena, Otaine and Jikol seemed to be people of great loyalty, and such people were worth befriending deeply.
“Of course, no problem, it’s my honor.”
Su Ming smiled and said to Otaine.
“Great! Then let us drink and swear brotherhood!”
Otaine was overjoyed when Su Ming agreed and said immediately.
Su Ming picked up a cup of strong liquor, smiling as he asked.
“No problem, then according to age, I should address you as elder brothers.”
“No, no, our brotherhood isn’t based on age, but on strength. Su Ming, you will be the eldest, I’ll be the second, and Jikol will be the third!”
Otaine said with a smile.
“Isn’t this a bit inappropriate?”
Su Ming was a bit taken aback.
“There’s nothing inappropriate about it, here in the Land of Lost, we value strength above all!”
Otaine stated directly.
“Alright!”
Su Ming nodded in agreement.
The three then stood up with their glasses.
“I, Otaine, Su Ming, and Jikol, swear brotherhood here. We will share fortune and adversity together, swear by the drink! Never betray each other!”
Otaine said passionately.
“Never betray each other!”
Su Ming and Jikol both echoed.
The three then drained their glasses in one go!
“Elder brother!”
Otaine and Jikol called out to Su Ming simultaneously.
“Second brother, third brother, from now on, we are a family!”
Su Ming responded with a smile.
“Yes! Elder brother, what do we do next? When do we launch an attack on the Dark Star Empire?”
Otaine asked directly.
“For now, you hold your position; now is not the time to attack. Wait until the Dark Star Empire and the Federation are in full war, then make your move.”
Su Ming said to Otaine and the others.
Even though the Dark Star Empire’s forces are spread thin right now, if the Land of Lost makes a move at this time and the Emperor returns, they will be in trouble.
But if they wait to act until the fight progresses, the Dark Star Empire will be attacked from both sides, putting them in a tough spot.
“No problem, in that case, shall we attack the Main Star of the Dark Star Empire?”
Jikol asked.
“No, the Main Star of the Dark Star Empire is not easy to conquer. You only need to attack the Energy Core·Heart of the Sky Base and the production planets in the rear, liberate your enslaved relatives and fellow countrymen.”
Su Ming provided a plan that was quite lenient and aligned well with Jikol and the others’ beliefs.
“No problem, we guarantee to complete the mission!”
Jikol and the others were very excited by Su Ming’s words.
They already wanted to save their oppressed relatives and compatriots, making it a win-win situation.
“Alright, then it’s settled!”
Su Ming decisively concluded the matter.
Otaine, full of smiles, said to Su Ming.
“Elder brother, since you’re here in the Land of Lost, why don’t you stay a few more days and let the brothers entertain you well?”
“Yeah!”
Jikol chimed in.
“Second brother, third brother! I have many things to take care of, so I won’t stay longer. I’ll be leaving soon.”
Su Ming politely declined.
“Alright, then enough talk, let’s drink!”
