A certain American comic book's secondary profession master

Chapter 318 Covenant
The Nomad Star, Soyuz, slowly came to a stop at the starport under the navigator's guidance.

As the Alliance members disembarked from the spaceship, they spotted Natasha waiting at the entrance from afar.

As the chairperson of the New Earth Council, Natasha is actually the true representative of New Earth, so she will definitely be attending this Galactic Council meeting.

Moreover, because the new Earth is closer to the Nomad Star, Natasha arrived earlier than Levi and the others.

"Long time no see!" Natasha stepped forward and hugged each of the Alliance members to greet them. Although they had maintained contact through interstellar communication, it had still been a year since they had last seen each other.

Especially for new members like Wanda and Pietro, this was their first time meeting.

"Has Carol arrived?" After exchanging pleasantries, Levi asked Natasha.

“She arrived a long time ago, and the Kree Empire’s hotel is right next to ours; it was specially arranged by the Kree side!” Natasha replied. “And Sovelin too!”

In fact, Carroll and Ayesha also wanted to come and welcome the rest of the league.

After all, everyone gets along well.

However, considering their friendly relationship, this was all done in private for the other civilizations in Zhou.

Moreover, due to the Kree Empire and the Sovereign's practices, they have many enemies throughout the universe.

Therefore, to avoid the newly joined Galactic Council making Earth a target of public criticism, it is better for the three parties to temporarily conceal their relationship at Li Wei's request.

It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that I want to avoid trouble.

Therefore, Li Wei and the others only planned to visit Carol and Ayesha privately and secretly, while maintaining a certain distance in public.

However, just as the Alliance members arrived at their hotel under Natasha's guidance, an unexpected group of guests arrived—the Spartax.

And leading the charge was none other than the contemporary Spartacus Emperor, Kip Holm.

A very young emperor—of course, "young" refers to his appearance.

In reality, due to the average lifespan of the Spartacus, the other person might actually be much older than Tony.

"It is an honor to meet you, Your Majesty the Emperor!" In the reception room, Natasha, as the Speaker of the Council of New Earth, met with the other party.

Levi and Tony accompanied him to the meeting.

“It is an honor to meet you, Your Excellency Speaker!” Kip Holm said very politely.

"I wonder what brings Your Majesty here?" After exchanging pleasantries, Natasha asked directly.

“Yes, just a few days ago, one of our exploration fleets was attacked by the Yorigian at jump point X27. My sister Victoria went missing in the battle. According to our information, your ship was also at the scene at the time, so I came to ask about the specific situation!” Kip Holm asked with a worried look on his face, seemingly very concerned about his sister.

But politicians' performances are just for show; take them with a grain of salt.

Compared to Princess Victoria, this kid is probably more concerned about the whereabouts of the pointer box.

“I do know about this, but I wasn’t there. Perhaps it would be better if my advisor, Victor Lee, told you about what happened. He was also a witness to it,” Natasha said, looking at Levi beside her.

Livy had already informed her of the battle between the Yorigian fleet and the Alliance that same day via communications.

So, without needing to say much, the Alliance could guess the general purpose of the Spartaxes' visit. It was nothing more than seeking revenge and probing the Alliance's capabilities to see if they knew of the existence of the Command Box.

"I regret to inform you, Your Majesty, that when we passed by, the battle was nearing its end. Moreover, due to the interception by the Yorigian fleet, we were unable to contact your exploration fleet. Furthermore, we were outnumbered and outmatched, so we could only watch helplessly as the Yorigian fleet withdrew safely. Afterwards, we also surveyed the battlefield and found no survivors of your personnel other than the four survivors from other civilizations!" In reality, Li Wei, who had benefited from the situation, would certainly not admit the whereabouts of the pointer box, much less take the blame.

They directly pinned the blame on the Yorigian people.

The existence of those few survivors, in particular, is sufficient proof that the Alliance had not made contact with the Spartacus fleet—after all, Levi's actions were highly secretive.

After listening, Kip Holm looked at one of his followers, who nodded slightly.

"Damn Yorigian, thank you for enlightening me, Your Excellency. The Yorigian's actions have completely violated the Galactic Council's covenant, so I intend to initiate sanctions against the Yorigian at this council meeting. I wonder if your side supports this!" Kip Holm said, feigning anger, before proposing to Natasha.

In fact, before they arrived, the Spartax leadership, led by Kip Holm, had already concluded that the Command Box had fallen into the hands of the Yorigian.

Most of the people who come to the alliance are just going through the motions, looking for an excuse.

“This… to be honest, we are also very angry about the actions of the Yorigian people, but I believe Your Majesty is aware that our New Earth is currently only an observation civilization of the Council, not even a formal member…” Natasha said hesitantly.

This is clearly an attempt to get something in return!

"Your Excellency the Speaker is joking. Everyone knows that your side is capable of overthrowing even the Supreme Evolution. The mere Yorigian people... hehe!" Although Kip Holm was interested in using the New Earth, he wouldn't make promises lightly. Moreover, the Alliance's record of overthrowing the Supreme Evolution was undeniable, so he immediately flattered them.

So the two sides went back and forth and began to bargain over the matter of jointly dealing with the Joricians.

Despite this being almost Natasha's first time representing one of her civilizations and negotiating state affairs with the rulers of other civilizations, this was still a significant event.

And she's only in her early twenties.

But faced with such a scene, he showed no stage fright whatsoever.

He is like a born politician and diplomat.

In negotiations with the other party, they were not at a disadvantage at all.

Ultimately, both sides reached an agreement on dealing with the Yorigian people and signed a defensive alliance.

Although it was called a defensive alliance, neither side really took the agreement seriously.

After all, on the surface, the two sides are not equal in status.

For the Spartacus, although New Earth had a record of killing the highest evolutionary beings, it was ultimately just a small civilization that had just risen to prominence. It was impossible to expect them to think highly of New Earth.

If it weren't for the fact that their sphere of influence was too far from Yorigian's, requiring a relatively nearby power as a springboard, and needing more pretexts to launch sanctions, they wouldn't bother with New Earth.

Once we've defeated Yorigian, or retrieved the compass box and Victoria, then...

This alliance is essentially null and void.

For the alliance, the hope is to gain as much as possible during this process.
