Chapter 2666 Alliance Before Departure
Looking at Minos, Tiolos asked without paying attention to this fellow's companions, while he couldn't help feeling excited.
He could feel the powerful cultivation of the 112 level human, something far superior to what Minos had promised him a century ago. At the time, Minos had promised that he would be a level 110 Sovereign by the time of their departure. But the human had evolved much faster than he had estimated.
Tiolos was curious, but he kept himself contained for the moment.
"Yes, we're finally ready." Minos greeted the man in his humanoid version. "That's not all of my group. The rest of the staff are at Forestville Piers, looking for information and people who can join us."
"Oh? You're getting ahead of yourselves. That's good." Tiolos saw no problem. He had already passed the place, but that wasn't necessarily an impediment to Minos' people doing the same.
"Are there any other Supremes in your group?" He looked at Wovar, quite interested in this unexpected addition.
Until now, Tiolos had been relying on just himself as Supreme on this perilous journey ahead. But with Wovar, he couldn't help hoping that there would be more people of the same stage as him to count on in future problems.
"Yes, there are two more. They're with the rest of the group." Minos confirmed, making the smile on Tiolos' face grow even wider.
"Perfect." Tiolos then took a deep breath, before greeting Minos' women, followed by Wovar and then the rest of the group.
He introduced the people he had been talking to a few moments ago. "Minos, these are some friends I've made recently. They're also planning to travel to Uzira, just like us."
Tiolos pointed toward the group of five individuals, two of them aliens and the other three natives of Zocarro, each of different races, but in their humanoid forms. The weakest of them had a cultivation level of 113 and the strongest a level of 115.
"Leger, these are the fellows I spoke to you and your group about." Tiolos introduced the leader of this group to Minos and the others.
Minos greeted Leger with a nod, curious as to what Tiolos intended.
"Your group doesn't look weak, but be careful. Getting to Uzira won't be easy, even with good numbers," said the level 115 individual as Tiolos directed Minos to sit next to this group.
Tiolos didn't plan to travel with these people. It was too risky to go with strangers on such a dangerous journey. Even more so strangers with an average strength similar to their own.
"Minos, Leger and their group are not going to Uzira for the first time. One of them has been to the continent in the past and is returning there again with a larger group," Tiolos said with a suggestive look. frёeωebɳovel.com
Armhands, Minos and Tiolos weren't the only ones in Oqia who wanted to get to Uzira. All the continent's major forces and all the Supremes were targeting Zocarro's strongest continent.
Journeys from Oqia to Uzira took place almost every week in the continent's coastal cities, with at least a thousand people leaving every year.
Most of these people definitely died on the journey, while of the few survivors—when they existed—most stayed in Uzira and never return. But cases like Leger's didn't exist, if one looked hard enough, had good contacts and a bit of luck.
Minos looked at Leger, imagining that this was the man who had been in Uzira before.
"Is that true?"
One man nodded with a confident look and said, "Uzira is a land of opportunity, but it's not as simple as much might think.
Uzira is extremely dominated by the powers that already exist on the continent. There is a single state that dominates the entire continent, with a powerful army and an extremely loyal nobility.
I'm not saying that there aren't weak points in this system, but accessing them certainly isn't easy." He laughed at this point before becoming serious again. "But the fact is, for newcomers to the continent and those with no affiliations, the opportunities there are more limited than you might think.
Certainly a great talent can develop faster in Uzira than in Oqia, but it's not so easy and accessible that someone like me would never consider returning to Oqia... That's why I came back, accepted the risks of the journey, to gather a group that can fight on my side in Uzira."
"If you manage to dock in Uzira, of course." Minos commented.
"Yes, of course." Leger didn't deny it. "In fact, that's the problem that made me approach Tiolos. Getting to Uzira in one piece isn't easy. Besides my companions here with me, we have 12 other people on our ship. But there's really no guarantee that we'll get there in one piece, or even that we will at all.
However, if we do, it would be good for those of us who survive the journey to have friends in Uzira."
Tiolos said, "Minos, if there are no problems for you, we can receive information from Leger about the journey and what it's like to enter the continent, in exchange for later helping us in Uzira, if our groups succeed, of course."
Minos understood their agreement. It wasn't something strange. Tiolos couldn't be sure that Leger was telling the truth and it wouldn't be safe to travel with a total stranger as strong as Leger.
Leger also didn't know how true Tiolos and Minos' story was and how trustworthy they were, making a union between them now not so interesting. But he had information, and he wanted allies.
Tiolos wanted the information more than anything, so for them, it made sense to make a deal like that.
"Are you going to give us information now for our partnership later when we're in Uzira?" Abby asked from beside her husband. "What guarantees that we'll meet in Uzira?"
Leger looked at Abby and smiled. "There is only one route between Oqia and Uzira. Apart from that, all the others lead to death. If we're going to get to Uzira, we're going to arrive in more or less the same area."
"That doesn't sound good..." Minos muttered. "If everyone who arrives in Uzira from Oqia passes through the same place, I can imagine that the place is guarded by those sovereign forces you mentioned."
Leger nodded positively. "Certainly. In fact, the area where we'll be arriving is extremely dangerous, far from the mainland cities and with a wide variety of powerful creatures that will try to kill us. Some of them exceed the level of Tiolos, so to say that the journey there will be no less dangerous than the sea voyage would not be strange.
On my previous trip, I didn't overcome this range, which is why I returned. This time, however, I hope that with a bigger and stronger alliance, that will change."
