After three rounds of drinks and a variety of dishes enjoyed,
the King of the East Sea suddenly put down his wine cup, a look of embarrassnt directed towards Ye Ling.
Seeing him like this, Ye Ling also smiled and asked, "May I know if the King of the East Sea has sothing he wishes to discuss with ?"
"Ah! It's embarrassing indeed, as the King of this East Sea, I've been harried by a force for the past three years."
The King of the East Sea sighed, his face showing helplessness as he spoke.
Hearing this, Ye Ling raised an eyebrow. Although the King of the East Sea was aging, he was still the King of the East Sea.
Within the territories of the East Sea, ordinary forces could not possibly withstand the King's assaults, unless it was a powerful force like the Eastern Alliance, with three Warlords stationed!
As the King of the East Sea ntioned this pressing matter, everyone else also put down their chopsticks, looking seriously at the King of the East Sea.
"What force could be so powerful that even you, King of the East Sea, are unable to handle them?"
Ye Ling asked, puzzled.
Hearing this, the King of the East Sea sighed again and began, "Northern Liao King, you may not know, but my health has been declining day by day."
"Those thieves, knowing that my health worsens by the day, have also started to erge. They're taking advantage of my old age, leaving unable to lead my troops against them."
Saying this, the King of the East Sea picked up his wine cup and drained the strong liquor inside it in one gulp.
Then, fueled by the alcohol, he spoke again, "Three years ago, a group of people suddenly appeared on the East Sea and occupied an island, renaming it Sky Wolf Island!"
"Then, the bandits on Sky Wolf Island began to rob passing traders and ships. Over the years, East Sea residents who have died at the hands of these crazed bandits tally up to more than a thousand."
"The East Sea military has also launched three encirclents against Sky Wolf Island, and in all three battles, we were defeated, losing three of our commanders!"
Hearing this, Ye Ling slightly furrowed his brow.
The East Sea military had failed all three encirclents and even lost three commanders!
From this, it appeared that the strength of Sky Wolf Island might even surpass that of the Eastern Alliance.
Because of the aging King of the East Sea, whose vitality and vigor were no longer what they once were, opportunistic scoundrels were also erging.
"Ye Ling, I consider myself a brother to the old Northern Liao King, having entered life and death situations together."
"I have a favor to ask of you!"
The King of the East Sea looked at Ye Ling, speaking earnestly.
This King of the East Sea, who had been indulging in pleasures in recent years, rarely showed such a serious deanor.
Ye Ling raised an eyebrow and asked, "You want to help you deal with Sky Wolf Island?"
"Indeed! Who in Dragon Country does not know that among the four great war zones, you, the Northern Liao King, possess the greatest strength!"
The King of the East Sea nodded slightly, then continued, "I am already old and might retire in two or three years, but Sky Wolf Island has always been a thorn in my side. Unfortunately, due to my old age, I am unable to do anything about it!"
"But you are different. If you are willing to take action, Sky Wolf Island will surely be no match for you!"
Fearing that Ye Ling might refuse, the King of the East Sea continued, "I am a brother to the old Northern Liao King, also an elder to you. Consider this a favor for an elder, and a help for the East Sea, how about it?"
Ye Ling frowned slightly and after a mont's thought, replied, "King of the East Sea, I am indeed the ruler of Northern Liao, and helping the East Sea eliminate Sky Wolf Island is naturally my duty."
"However, this place is ultimately the East Sea, and , a man from Northern Liao, stepping in might lead to so behind-the-scenes talk."
Hearing this, the King of the East Sea slapped his thigh and imdiately responded, "This can be easily arranged! I will clarify the situation to the imperial capital imdiately, saying that I have asked for your help!"
"There's no need for such trouble as long as you, King of the East Sea, agree to one condition of mine. I'll help you remove this worry without another word!"
Ye Ling, however, waved his hand with a smile.
Hearing this, how could the King of the East Sea not know that Ye Ling wanted to negotiate terms.
It made sense, after all. The Northern Liao King had never cared about others' opinions, and now, helping the East Sea in dealing with Sky Wolf Island, why would he care about them now.
The King of the East Sea shook his head, smiling, and said, "Are you waiting here just for , young man?"
"Haha, the East Sea military has failed three tis in their encirclent, which shows that there must be warlords within Sky Wolf Island, and it's possible that there's more than one."
Ye Ling chuckled lightly, then continued, "Facing such powerful opponents, naturally, I would like to gain so benefits, wouldn't I?"
Upon hearing this, the King of the East Sea showed a resigned smile.
He then spoke seriously, "Fine! I agree to your condition!"
"But the condition must not endanger Dragon Country or my East Sea!"
Ye Ling nodded slightly, smiling, "Do you really see as that kind of person, King of the East Sea?"
"My condition is simple, I help the East Sea annihilate Sky Wolf Island, and you, King of the East Sea, will not interfere with the Martial Alliance's developnt in the East Sea. How about that?"
At Ye Ling's condition, a spark of shrewdness flashed through King of the East Sea's aged eyes.
Martial Alliance?
This martial forces that suddenly received orders from the imperial capital to be established three years ago has blood across the land in just a short span of three years.
In every major and minor city of Dragon Country, the shadow of Martial Alliance has reached.
Ye Ling suddenly making this condition made the King of the East Sea think a bit more.
Everyone thought that the Martial Alliance was directly ordered by that person in the imperial capital, but few knew that it was largely due to Ye Ling!
And outsiders did not know, instead of saying that the real controller of the Martial Alliance was that person from the imperial capital, it would be more accurate to say it was Ye Ling.
Although Ye Ling was the Northern Liao King, three years ago he had conspired with that person from the imperial capital before the Martial Alliance was established.
"I wonder what your relationship is with the Martial Alliance?"
The King of the East Sea looked at Ye Ling with a grave expression and asked.
Ye Ling just shook his head with a smile and said, "What relationship could I have with the Martial Alliance? It was established by that person in the imperial capital."
Of course, the King of the East Sea did not believe Ye Ling's words. Although the King of the East Sea was old, it didn't an his intelligence had declined with age.
"Haha, you are indeed clever, just as your master once evaluated you."
"Well, since you are not willing to say, then I won't pry," the King of the East Sea said lazily.
"As for the developnt of the Martial Alliance in the East Sea, I agree! After all, I should be retiring in two or three years. How the Martial Alliance impacts the East Sea in the future is not for to worry about," he said earnestly.
The King of the East Sea took a sip of wine and spoke in a deep voice.
Ye Ling nodded slightly, smiling, "Very good! When is the East Sea military planning their fourth encirclent of Sky Wolf Island?"
"In three days! With you commanding the army this ti, we will surely annihilate Sky Wolf Island!"
The King of the East Sea said this with a great laugh, as if he had already seen the scene of Sky Wolf Island being decimated.
