Yatai Policy: The New Order of the Mainland

Chapter 935 Ideals (Part 1)

After this complete distortion of the truth, the instigator is smug, the uninformed are confused, and the slandered are filled with righteous indignation.

Just as everyone was waiting for Kino's representative to give a reply, an untimely burst of drumming music rang out.

King Dunpra and Queen Elsma of Surya finally appeared hand in hand, surrounded by more than a hundred guards.

King Dempras was in good spirits, but the Queen looked somewhat pale for some reason. "Distinguished heads and leaders, thank you for coming from afar for the sake of Suryl and the peace and well-being of the continent of Yatai. I was injured a few days ago and was unable to fulfill my duties as host. Please forgive me," King Suryl began with a set of polite words.

Immediately, Dumbledore's gaze sharpened as he turned to Dawu and said, "On the way here, I heard many of your doubts. Therefore, I would like to take this opportunity to announce two things: First, Mr. Maisan has assumed the position of Regent of the Kingdom of Suliel, and his words and actions fully represent the official stance of Suliel; second, the claims of assassinating Leader Ruers and plotting against Marshal McKen are pure fabrication and must be the work of those with ulterior motives, having nothing to do with Maisan or the Kingdom of Suliel!"

Dunpra's voice was powerful and resonated deeply with everyone present.

Although Suliel is not weak, it is still only a small to medium-sized country. Faced with a situation clearly unfavorable to Kino, it dares to take a clear stand and even take on many of the issues involving Maisang. The question is, what is the source of Suliel's confidence? Do they and Kino have some trump card up their sleeves?
Dempras's words were profound and unfathomable, immediately filling everyone with doubt.

Upon hearing himself labeled a "treasoner," Dawu's face darkened. Overjoyed, he swept his contemptuous gaze over Sulier and her group, saying disdainfully, "I thought Sulier would be more sensible after her crushing defeat, but she's still so arrogant! Weren't you all striving for peace and neutrality? Why then did you appoint Maisan, whose relationship with Kino is ambiguous, as regent? Are you perhaps planning to play both sides and profit from the situation?!"

Upon hearing this, even Atesban frowned.

As the saying goes, even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. The peace conference was held on the land of Suliel, after all. Such disrespect towards the host country is simply unreasonable.

As expected, Dawu's inappropriate remarks drew boos from the audience. However, everyone was also eager to see how Dempster would handle this blatant provocation.

"Hmph!" King Sulier's anger flashed across his face, but he suppressed his indignation and slowly replied, "Sulier's strength is indeed no match for McKen, and her defeat is to be expected. But no one on this land will abandon their position of friendship because of a difference in strength or fear, and allow their loved ones to be slaughtered and humiliated!"

“Capricorn Eyes was originally Queen of Suliel. Although she has abdicated, she is still a beloved leader of the Suliel people. She is being harassed by outsiders on her own land. If I, the king, can turn a blind eye and ignore this, then what right do I have to accept the trust of fifty million Suliel subjects?”

"As for Maisan, it can be said that without him there would be no Sulier today. He not only helped us deal with the rebellion launched by certain powerful ministers in collusion with foreign forces, but also helped Sulier stabilize relations with neighboring countries such as Ruhr, the Tergi Federation, the Republic of Yezlier, and the Kingdom of Yakudanken. He is a part of Sulier and enjoys extremely high prestige in this land. The position of regent is rightfully his!"

"You say that Sulier's support for Maisan is tantamount to siding with Kino? I think that's the only point where you're smart and insightful! Because from beginning to end, it seems only Kino has been advocating for peace talks. We, Sulier, want peace and neutrality; shouldn't we align ourselves with a country like that? At least, Kino has never asked Sulier to join his camp or alliance. For this meeting, they only sent a team of a hundred or so people, unlike some forces that readily deploy hundreds of thousands of troops!" "What I've said above is undeniable! Heaven sees what people do. Dawu, I'd like to ask you, what contributions have you and your country made to the well-being of the Yatai continent? What efforts have you made for the safety and peace of Sulier? What right do you have to speak so arrogantly and point fingers here?!"

King Su's speech, encompassing a wide range of points, was powerful and resounding, drawing the attention of the representatives from the various countries present. His final words, in particular, thoroughly humiliated Dawu.

Holmles, along with Emin and the rest of Suliel, were also stirred by these words and straightened their backs.

"Well said! Shameless people can never be considered respectable. Dawu, get as far away from me as possible!" Qiu Yuanshan cheered loudly again from the crowd. He had exceptional concentration, projecting his voice in all directions before concentrating it into a single point for a powerful burst. This not only made his voice strong but also made it difficult for the crowd to discern who was speaking.

“You!” Yuan Yao, knowing her husband’s temper well, pulled him aside and murmured with concern, “Those words were indeed satisfying! But they also put Qinuo on a high pedestal. Even if Dai Yun wanted to continue with a strategy of forbearance, it probably wouldn’t work now, otherwise he would really lose the support of the forces around him!”

"Endure! Endure! The enemy has already shown their claws, what's the point of enduring? I think we need to push Kino to the limit to make him fight back!" Qiu Yuanshan said impatiently.

"Does Kino lack guts?" Yuan Yao pouted and retorted. Seeing that her husband, though still unconvinced, no longer argued back, she said softly, "You're the leader of the Shadows, so it's natural for you to be eager to fight and settle scores. But Kino's actions weren't cowardice, they were wisdom! I have a feeling that their actions this time are part of a different plan..."

"Oh?" Qiu Yuanshan always trusted his wife's intuition without question, and upon hearing this, he patiently began to think about it.

“Didn’t you just say that Kino and Rulz were putting on a show through Maisan’s connections? I think Rulz’s Valoja’s actions and words have gone too far! What if they have really reached an agreement with Maisan in secret and are preparing to join forces to suppress Kino? If I can think like that, don’t Daiyun and Miaoqingfeng have the same concerns?” Yuan Yao continued.

"You mean Kino is deliberately feigning weakness in order to see the true colors of his allies?" Qiu Yuanshan asked in surprise.

"The scheming and competition between great powers can easily lead to national subjugation and annihilation. How can one cope without being shrewd and discerning? Alas! I hope I am just being paranoid!" Yuan Yao sighed.

Just as Qiu Yuanshan was about to reply, he heard Dawu's shouts: "Dengpu, your relationship with Capricorn Tong has always been ambiguous, and everyone in the world knows it! Now, giving Maisang the position of regent is just to give that fat guy who took the blame some comfort, isn't it? For your own selfish desires, you make your subjects make unnecessary sacrifices, and you still have the nerve to talk about your ugly deeds so righteously!"

"Head of Dawu, you've gone too far! How can you launch a personal attack on a national leader in this setting? Besides, no matter how Maisang has treated me, I've always considered him a brother in life and death! Please stop this pointless verbal sparring and let's get back to the point!" Seeing that Dempra's pupils were bloodshot with anger, Valoja sneered inwardly, but spoke out with righteous indignation.

Dawu: My mouth is on my body, what can you do about it!
