The Emperor of the Celestial Dragon Empire interjected, "Elf King, you wish to protect Salman? What do you have to offer for his protection, hmm?"

The Elf King's expression darkened, "What? Does the Celestial Dragon Emperor actually have an opinion?"

"The Celestial Dragon Emperor had better understand one thing. Admittedly, this plan was proposed by Salman, but none of your other super top-level forces rejected it. All of you unanimously agreed with Salman's plan and fully cooperated with him."

"Now that a serious issue has arisen, you want to push all the blame onto Salman, is that it? Do none of you present bear any responsibility?"

"Do you think this is laughable? Or, at this point, do you still plan to connive and backstab, driving our Elf Kingdom's Salman to death, and reducing our kingdom's deterrence power?"

"What is the current situation? I believe you all should be clearer than I am. Currently, the Gana Race and the Undead Forces of the Chaotic Sea Domain are on an unstoppable rise. If, at this moment, we cannot unite against them, and still choose internal strife, then I believe this meeting no longer needs to continue."

"Let's just quietly wait for the Gana Race and the Undead Forces of the Chaotic Sea Domain to attack the continent and wipe us out."

Upon hearing the Elf King's candid words, the representatives of the other super top-level forces did not look pleased.

Because his words were blunt, not giving them any face or a way out.

For a moment, the scene fell into an awkward silence.

After quite a while, the representative from the Bright Church Country finally broke the silent atmosphere, "Everyone, let's set aside Salman's matter for now. There's no need to keep fixating on him. The current situation is very tense, and our focus should be on the Merfolk Race, rather than getting caught up in trivial matters."

Upon hearing the representative from the Pope Order of the Bright Church Country speak, the Elf King let out a cold snort.

The Emperor of the Celestial Dragon Empire was silent for a moment before slowly speaking, "We can set aside Salman's matter for now. Let us discuss the support issue concerning the Merfolk Race and the Fishman Race. Support is certainly needed, but the extent of the support requires careful consideration."

"What thoughts do you all have on this matter? Feel free to share."

Following the words of the Celestial Dragon Emperor, the Elf King immediately spoke up, "The current situation has become quite clear. The Undead Forces of the Chaotic Sea Domain are far stronger than we imagined, having virtually wiped out the Sea Elf Race. From now on, reclaiming the Sea Elf Race's territory and resources shall be without any suspense."

"As for the Gana Race, the Merfolk Race and the Fishman Race have already fallen into a disadvantageous position. While they have been delaying, this cannot continue for long."

"I feel it won't be long before the Merfolk and Fishman Race are forced into a direct battle with the Gana Race. If they lose, they will follow the Sea Elf Race's fate, being completely consumed by the Gana Race."

"By that time, the entire situation in the ocean will develop in a direction none of us want to envision. Therefore, I am willing to send half of our Elf Kingdom's Legendary Tier and half of our Epic Tier forces to fully support the Merfolk and Fishman Races."

"As for how the rest of you super top-level forces choose to act, I cannot control it, but I hope you will use my standard as a reference. This is not the time for selfishness. We should all understand that if we only look after our own immediate interests now, when the situation spirals out of control in the future, we will all pay an even heavier price."

After hearing the Elf King's words, the representatives of the other super top-level forces fell silent once again.

After a moment of silence, the Emperor of the Celestial Dragon Empire was the first to speak, "Regarding what the Elf King said, I completely agree. In that case, I will imitate the Elf King and deploy half of our Celestial Dragon Empire's Legendary Tier and Epic Tier forces to fully support the Merfolk Race."

Following the Celestial Dragon Emperor's statement, after a brief contemplation, the representatives of the other super top-level forces also spoke up one after another, expressing their willingness to deploy half of their own forces' Legendary Tier and Epic Tier as reinforcements.

Thus, the approximate strength of the reinforcements was essentially confirmed.

Subsequently, the Elf King spoke up again, "Since everyone has determined the approximate strength to be dispatched, the next step is to set the date for dispatching the forces. As I mentioned before, based on the current situation, I'm afraid the Merfolk Race and the Fishman Race cannot hold out much longer."

"Therefore, my consideration is to let our main forces use our super top-level forces' Space Transmission Magic Array to teleport to the Ten Mother Islands, then have these reinforcements depart from there to launch a rear surprise attack on the Gana Race attacking the Merfolk and Fishman Races."
