Beast Taming Star Journey

Chapter 397

I stood on the high platform, looking down at the beast tamers gathered below, their faces filled with doubt and confusion. The Iridium beast tamer stood at the forefront, his brows furrowed, his sharp gaze seeming to pierce through me. I took a deep breath and slowly spoke, "I propose a small-scale cooperative operation with the Kingdom of Metal."

The moment I finished speaking, the crowd erupted in chaos. A cacophony of doubts and objections surged towards me like a tidal wave. "Cooperate? With those guys who suddenly appeared, of unknown origin?" one beast tamer shouted, his voice filled with distrust. "That's right, cooperating with them is like asking a tiger for its skin!" another beast tamer echoed.

I raised my hand to signal everyone to be quiet and continued, "I know you all have doubts, but please believe me, this cooperation is not an impulsive decision, but a well-considered one." I briefly told everyone about the scenes I had seen on the battlefield and my understanding of the history of the Kingdom of Metal, and emphasized the necessity and potential benefits of the cooperation.

The Beastmaster remained skeptical, scoffing, "They talk a good game, but who knows if they're up to some kind of scheme?" I wasn't annoyed and calmly replied, "That's why we need to engage in small-scale cooperation to test their sincerity."

I explained the battle plan in detail and assigned specific tasks. The core of the plan was to launch a joint raid on a stronghold of a dark force to test the level of cooperation and true intentions of both sides.

The atmosphere was incredibly tense on the day of the battle. Su Yao and I stood side by side on the front lines, closely monitoring the changing situation. The warriors of the Metal Kingdom, dressed in strange attire and wielding uniquely designed weapons, fought alongside our tamed beasts.

As soon as the battle began, the dark forces launched a powerful offensive, with overwhelming dark energy sweeping in. I commanded my tamed beasts to meet the enemy, while Su Yao wielded her longsword with heroic grace.

The battle was fierce, with several beast tamers surrounded by dark forces and on the verge of collapse. At this critical moment, a figure charged into the enemy ranks like lightning—a thallium warrior from the Kingdom of Metal. He wielded his giant axe, the powerful force dispersing the surrounding dark energy and freeing the trapped beast tamers.

Meanwhile, our beast tamers used their skills to create opportunities for the warriors of the Metal Kingdom to attack. The two sides cooperated seamlessly, supporting each other, and gradually turned the tide of the battle.

Finally, with everyone's concerted efforts, we successfully repelled the attack of the dark forces. Watching the dark creatures flee in disarray on the battlefield, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Yao walked to my side, a hint of excitement on her face. She reached out and grasped my hand tightly…

Su Yao jumped up excitedly and threw herself into my arms. Her full breasts pressed tightly against me, and a faint, sweet fragrance filled my nostrils. She said coquettishly, "Darling, you're so amazing!" I wrapped my arms around her waist, feeling her soft body, and a warm current surged through my heart. This victory not only proved my judgment but also deepened the bond between us.

I savored this intimate touch, gently stroking her hair. The smoke of battle hadn't yet dissipated, and the air was thick with the stench of blood, but this did nothing to diminish the sweetness between us. Su Yao's face beamed with happiness, her eyes sparkling like the brightest stars in the night sky.

"Cough cough..."

A sudden cough shattered the pleasant atmosphere. I turned to look and saw the Iridium Beastmaster standing not far away, his face grim. Although he had witnessed our cooperation with the warriors of the Metal Kingdom and our victory in this battle, he still harbored doubts.

“This collaboration has indeed yielded good results,” he said slowly, with a hint of reluctance in his voice, “but that doesn’t prove they are sincere. Perhaps it was just a show they put on to gain our trust.”

I sighed helplessly. The caution and stubbornness of the Iridium Beast Tamer exceeded my expectations. I knew that a single cooperation wouldn't completely dispel his doubts; we needed more time and more evidence to prove the sincerity of the Gold Kingdom.

“I know you still have doubts,” I said, trying to keep my tone calm, “but please trust my judgment. The Kingdom of Metal is not an enemy. They, like us, yearn for peace and want to defeat the forces of darkness.”

The Beastmaster of Metal and Iridium didn't speak, only gave a cold snort, and turned to leave. His retreating figure appeared somewhat lonely, and also stubborn. Watching his retreating figure, I felt a surge of helplessness and anxiety. How could I completely dispel his doubts and get him to accept this hard-won ally?

I took a deep breath and turned my gaze into the distance. I knew we needed greater challenges, and greater victories, to prove our choice.

The next day, I summoned all the Beast Tamers and announced my plan to them: "We will launch a larger-scale cooperation with the Kingdom of Metal to fight against the forces of darkness!"

As soon as I finished speaking, a murmur arose among the crowd. Some expressed support, while others opposed it. All eyes were on the Beastmaster of the Metal-Iridium Beast, whose attitude would determine the final outcome of this cooperation. He remained silent, his expression shifting between light and shadow, seemingly engaged in a fierce internal struggle.

I waited quietly for his response, the air thick with tension... "I..." he finally spoke.
