Beast Taming Star Journey

Chapter 394 The Allies' Sincerity Gradually Emerges

Chapter 394

The Platinum strategist stepped forward, surveyed the crowd, and began, "Gentlemen, I come here on behalf of the Kingdom of Metal to join you in fighting against the forces of darkness. While our Kingdom of Metal may not excel in beast taming, we possess unique skills in other areas that can compensate for this deficiency." He paused, seemingly organizing his thoughts, "We have observed that the weakness of the forces of darkness lies in..."

His voice was calm and measured, yet carried a persuasive power. I noticed the Beastmaster's furrowed brows relaxed slightly, but the doubt still lingered. The surrounding Beastmasters began to whisper amongst themselves, the atmosphere gradually shifting from tension to confusion and anticipation.

The strategist from the Metal Platinum Clan explained their intention to cooperate in detail, including their unique fighting style, strategic deployment, and the resources they could provide. As I listened, I subtly activated my cheat ability. A small, colorful bird silently appeared beside me, and I quickly entered into an equal contract with it.

"Go, investigate their true intentions," I commanded the spirit bird telepathically. The spirit bird nimbly took flight, disappearing into the night, heading towards the Metal Kingdom's forces. Through the shared vision with the spirit bird, I saw the Metal Kingdom's warriors. Though their faces were serious, their eyes held no malice, but rather a resolute and unwavering determination. I even saw the Metal Warrior who had fought alongside us on the battlefield; he was sitting cross-legged, seemingly recovering, radiating a powerful aura, yet showing no hostility.

The spirit bird flew closer to the strategist, and I heard him mutter to himself, "I hope this cooperation will be successful, for the future of the Kingdom of Metal..." His tone was full of worry and hope, without a trace of hypocrisy or calculation.

I became even more certain that the Kingdom of Metal genuinely wanted to cooperate with us. Retrieving the spirit bird, I took a deep breath, about to speak, when I suddenly felt a warm breath near my ear.

Su Yao appeared beside me without me noticing. She gently breathed into my ear and said coquettishly, "You're always so smart, I admire you so much..."

Su Yao's breath brushed against my ear, a tingling, numbing sensation like a feather lightly brushing against my heart. The word "admiration" she uttered, spoken with such sweet fragrance, sent a shiver down my spine, a warm current coursing through my body. I turned to look at her; her eyes sparkled, a mischievous smile played on her lips, and a faint blush rose on her cheeks, making her exceptionally beautiful in the firelight. I couldn't resist reaching out and gently stroking her soft hair. This subtle interaction happened in the blink of an eye, seemingly unnoticed by those around us.

I cleared my throat, suppressing the romantic thoughts in my mind, and said, "Everyone, I believe that the Kingdom of Metal (this character may be a custom character created under special settings, without an actual corresponding Chinese character meaning, so please retain its original form) sincerely wants to cooperate with us." I briefly recounted the information I had gathered through the spirit bird, emphasizing the steadfastness of the Metal warriors and the sincerity of the Metal-Platinum (similarly retained) strategists.

However, my words did not completely dispel everyone's doubts. The Beast Tamer, Jin Yi (similarly reserved), stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Nong Yu, your beast taming ability is indeed special, but that cannot completely guarantee the reliability of the Jin Jin Kingdom. After all, they are not beast tamers, and we know too little about them. To cooperate rashly would be too risky." Although his tone still carried doubt, it was less hostile than before, and more cautious.

The atmosphere tensed up again, and the surrounding beast tamers nodded in agreement. I understood their concerns; after all, this was a crucial decision concerning the fate of the entire beast taming world, and there was no room for carelessness.

“Senior Jin Yi’s concerns are not without merit,” I replied calmly, “but we cannot abandon the opportunity to cooperate simply because we are afraid of the risks. The forces of darkness are growing stronger, and we must unite all forces that can be united to ultimately defeat them. I believe that as long as we treat each other with sincerity, we will be able to overcome the difficulties and achieve final victory.”

I paused for a moment, then continued, "I suggest that we start with small-scale cooperation to gradually build trust. At the same time, we can also send envoys to the Kingdom of Metal to gain a deeper understanding of their situation. I believe time will tell."

My proposal received support from some beast tamers, who considered it a relatively safe approach. However, other beast tamers remained opposed, believing that collaborating with non-beast tamers was a desecration of beast taming traditions, too risky, and not worth attempting.

The two sides were locked in a heated argument, the atmosphere tense and on the verge of conflict. I stood in the middle of the crowd, feeling the pressure from both opposing forces. Su Yao gripped my hand tightly and gave me an encouraging look. I took a deep breath, about to speak, when I heard a familiar voice from the crowd: "I support Nong Yu's proposal!"

I turned my head and saw that it was the Metallium boy. He walked through the crowd to my side and said with a firm look in his eyes, "I have witnessed the power of the Metallium warriors and felt the sincerity of the people of the Metallium Kingdom. I believe that they will be our reliable allies in the fight against the forces of darkness."

His words resonated deeply, causing quite a stir among the crowd. A surge of joy filled me; I knew there might still be a chance. However, just then, another voice rang out: "I firmly oppose cooperating with non-beastmasters!" The speaker was…

"Enough!" A hoarse yet authoritative voice interrupted the argument. Everyone turned to look, and saw an elderly man with white hair slowly approaching…
