Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

"As long as everyone remains loyal and we work together to develop these advanced killing machines, we will all eventually possess them!"

"Signing the alliance is just the beginning. Our common goal is to equip our allied legions with these forces on a large scale, develop more powerful weapons, and completely integrate Western power! This requires resources, talent, and unity of purpose! What we see today is the cornerstone of the future, and also an ultimatum to the East Asian Alliance!"

"Although those East Asian countries briefly surpassed us, as long as we unite as one, we will definitely be able to fight them... Our strength far surpasses theirs."

After Nie Bing said that, everyone's eyes filled with fervor...

Her voice suddenly rose, carrying an undeniable will: "The Western Alliance will rise from steel and flames! And you..."

Her gaze swept over the crowd, “We will be the creators and sharers of this great era! Let the sound of cannons and the iron guards bear witness to the power of our covenant!”

Xiao Ce, watching this scene from beside Nie Bing, couldn't help but chuckle.

Because at this moment, Nie Bing's way of evoking emotions is one of Xiao Ce's usual tactics.

Xiao Ce saw a reflection of himself in Nie Bing, which he found quite interesting.

After this martial arts demonstration, the kings and members of the twelve families immediately calmed down considerably...

Their attitudes also became more obedient.

Just then, Nie Bing hosted another dinner for them. This time, everyone enjoyed the meal even more than before, and their attitudes were much better.

Over the next few days, they had a detailed discussion about the alliance members.

They reached an agreement very quickly.

First, Nie Bing served as the president of the Alliance Council, and two rotating presidents were elected: Medici of the Roman Empire and Baptiste Leclerc.

The reason for choosing these two individuals is primarily because Medici adheres to the doctrine of the mean and is unassuming and non-competitive. Most importantly, the Aurelius family is based in the Roman Empire. And the relationship between Sean Aurelius and the Chairman is self-evident.

Baptiste Leclerc, as the leader of the French Empire, possessed the most powerful military and a strong national strength... This was widely accepted, given the renowned reputation of the French army.

Moreover, this seat is rotated, and many people feel that the initial seat carries a great risk...

Everyone reached a consensus, and then the core organization, the trade consortium, was established, with the patriarchs of the twelve families joining. They were responsible for integrating all core industries such as minerals, food, communication, arms, and trade...

Everyone agrees on this; it's a consensus.

As for the governors in charge of each country, they decided to wait until there were more capable people applying to enter the Alliance City before assigning them, and that they could not be people from their own country, but rather foreigners would be needed to govern them.

Before this, the kings of various countries naturally acted as interim rulers in this matter...

As for the allied forces, each country has now assembled its own military, and the Illuminati Navy will be conducting patrols...

After the army is consolidated, it will be redistributed.

This important task was originally intended for Sean (Xiao Ce), but he politely declined, instead asking him to pass it on to Victor King.

Nie Bing initially had some reservations, but seeing Xiao Ce's certainty, she agreed...

The details still need to be further selected by the personnel in the Alliance City.

After reaching this consensus, the kings of various countries decided to leave.

After all, they still need to encourage the elites from various countries to join the Alliance City. The rest, with its myriad tasks, simply requires time...

The kings left one after another, while Victor King and Ed White were extremely busy.

After all, many people came to recruit them from overseas because of their reputation. Previously, they had not received any positive responses from the kings of various countries, so they were left adrift at sea.

They had been waiting until the agreement was signed before they told those people who were floating at sea and preparing to join the Alliance City to hurry up and come over.

After all, the country with more people in the Alliance City will naturally have an easier time getting things done in the future.

The Western alliance weakens the concept of the nation-state...

Therefore, many people who wanted to immigrate flocked in immediately.

Fortunately, Ed White had a well-established method, and as for the military, Victor King had taken over the greatest power in the alliance.

So he also got busy making plans and preparations for receiving troops from various countries.

Now, with their combined military forces, they estimate that the number of soldiers surrendered by various countries is conservatively estimated at ten million.

After training, the three million were allocated to various countries for garrisoning and patrolling.

He could command seven million troops, something Viktor King wouldn't even dare to dream of...

Victor King wanted to find Xiao Ce, after all, he also felt he wasn't up to the task...

However, during this time, he discovered that he was being watched, and Xiao Ce did not take the initiative to contact him.

He also forced himself to refrain from going to find Xiao Ce...

In fact, Nie Bing had already gone to Xiao Ce to express her doubts.

That is, is there any risk in handing over military power to Viktor King?

Xiao Ce's answer was simple: military power was one part, the other part was military funding. As the saying goes, even a skilled cook can't cook without rice...

And this military funding for the alliance is currently being provided by Nie Bing within the alliance...

If those armies were to rebel, all we had to do was cut off their food supplies...

Nie Bing's concerns were dispelled by Xiao Ce's words, and she suddenly understood... she had no concerns at all...

After all, the alliance's finances are overseen by the twelve families, and Nie Bing manages the allocation.

As long as you control the money, those soldiers are useless without it...

...

By this time, most of the people had gone home.

Only the Aurelius family remained, none of them returned...

Of course, this was at Xiao Ce's behest; their alliance city had already stabilized...

The next development will take time. He originally stayed here to try and find out some information about the original owner of this body.

However, since the Star Network Hub was shut down, they have disappeared without a trace...

There was absolutely no gain...

Moreover, Xiao Ce stayed here for a while, but there was no indication that the original owner of this body intended to come over.

Therefore, Xiao Ce was no longer going to wait passively for something to happen...

Xiao Ce was considering returning to the Roman Empire, since Yin Pan'er and the others were there...

He also wanted to check out the energy cannon Morgana had mentioned...

Therefore, he needs a legitimate reason to leave...

...

So, when Xiao Ce saw that the time was right, he went to find Nie Bing.

After receiving the kings, Nie Bing returned to the governor's mansion.

At that time, we had no choice but to stay at the governor's mansion to receive the king.

However, after finishing this important business, Nie Bing still left Sun Fort and returned to the Governor's Mansion.

He still felt that the feng shui of Sun Fort was bad.

There were now more servants in Nie Bing's governor's mansion.

Xiao Ce glanced at these attendants and found them somewhat unfamiliar...

I don't know when they arranged for me to come here.

Although Xiao Ce didn't know them, these people did know Xiao Ce...

"Mr. Sean, are you looking for the chairman?"

Xiao Ce nodded to the servants without saying anything more.

These servants then led Xiao Ce to find Nie Bing.

Upon arriving at Nie Bing's residence, Nie Bing was somewhat surprised to see Sean (Xiao Ce), then smiled and said, "Mr. Sean, you are truly an extraordinary person..."

Xiao Ce was completely bewildered by Nie Bing's seemingly random remark...

Looking at Nie Bing with some surprise, he said, "President, what makes you say that?"

When Nie Bing heard Xiao En (Xiao Ce) say this, she smiled and said, "Sir, didn't you know I was coming to see you? That's why you came."

Xiao Ce smiled and then said, "President, you really overestimate me... I'm just a human... not a god... how could I know you were looking for me... I'm looking for you..."

Xiao Ce paused for a moment, then continued, "So, President, you were looking for me too?"

Hearing him say that, Nie Bing nodded: "That's right, Mr. Sean, I did want to find you... I didn't expect you to come looking for me... However, judging from your words, it seems you have something to ask me."

Xiao Ce nodded to Nie Bing, and without further ado, said directly to her, "President, please speak first... I don't have anything important to say, it's just some personal matters..."

Seeing Xiao Ce's reaction, Nie Bing said curiously, "No rush, Mr. Sean, why don't you go first... It's not anything too serious for me..."

Seeing Nie Bing's expression, Xiao Ce didn't refuse and said directly to her, "President, let me go first..."

When Nie Bing heard Xiao Ce say this, she smiled, nodded, and did not interrupt.

Xiao Ce cut to the chase, saying, "President, I've been here for a while now, and I've been away from home for some time as well... Now I just need to wait... I want to go home and visit, so I'd like to ask for leave... Also, I'd like to go to the British Empire to see for myself what's going on there..."

Nie Bing looked embarrassed after hearing Xiao Ce's words.

Seeing Nie Bing's expression, Xiao Ce asked in surprise, "President, what's wrong... is it not allowed?"

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Nie Bing immediately shook her head: "Not for now..."

Before Xiao Ce could ask why, Nie Bing said to him, "Mr. Sean, let's hear what I have to say first."

Seeing Nie Bing say this, Xiao Ce nodded in confusion and curiosity, but didn't respond...

Nie Bing continued, "Mr. Sean, the reason I wanted to talk to you was to tell you some good news..."

"good news?"

Nie Bing nodded affirmatively, then said, "Yes, good news, His Holiness the Bishop has sent word..."

Xiao Ce was immediately drawn to Nie Bing's words.

Seeing that Xiao Ce didn't interrupt, Nie Bing continued, "His Holiness the Bishop says he knows about what you've done here... He highly praises your actions... and wants to meet you in person..."

As she spoke, Nie Bing looked at Xiao Ce with some excitement and said, "Mr. Sean, this is a very rare opportunity... If we can gain the bishop's approval, then you will truly be one of us..."

Seeing Nie Bing's expression, Xiao Ce wasn't as agitated as he was.

He was even a little stunned, not excited, but even a little worried.

His concern was simple: he didn't know what it would be like to face the original owner of this body...

He didn't know if the original owner of this body would see through him, or if the original owner already knew his identity...

He wasn't sure.

Xiao Ce, although he wanted to see the original owner of the body.

However, what Xiao Ce wanted was for him to be in control, not for the other party to dominate...

Seeing Sean's (Xiao Ce's) expression, Nie Bing wasn't surprised...

She just felt that Xiao Ce was somewhat shocked...

“Mr. Sean, aren’t you happy? This is your greatest honor… His Holiness the Bishop isn’t someone you can just meet with anyone…”

Seeing the awkwardness, Xiao Ce said to Nie Bing, "President... I'm not unhappy... I'm just... I'm just a little nervous..."

Seeing Xiao Ce's words, Nie Bing smiled and said to him, "Nervous? What's there to be nervous about... Don't be nervous... This is a good thing..."

Xiao Ce looked at Nie Bing with some confusion: "Guild Master, the Bishop is here to see me, why are you so happy...?"

Nie Bing heard Xiao Ce chuckle and said, "You're the person I chose... Now that you've proven your abilities and made contributions... I'm also gaining face, aren't I..."

As Nie Bing spoke, she looked at Sean (Xiao Ce)'s expression and then added, "Mr. Sean, do you have any concerns?"

Xiao Ce nodded, readily spouting platitudes: "President, yes... I do have concerns... If the bishop grants me some power... it will inevitably diminish your power... You've done me a favor... If I were to diminish your power, wouldn't that be bad...? I can't be an ingrate..."

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Nie Bing chuckled, "So that's what you think... You're underestimating me a bit?"

Xiao Ce looked at Nie Bing with some confusion.

Nie Bing said to Xiao Ce with a very confident expression, "Mr. Sean, you don't think that I'm someone who values ​​power a lot, do you?

Xiao Ce looked at Nie Bing, his expression conveying a sense of "Isn't that right?"...
