Traveling through the Naruto world to become the God King
Chapter 137 Not to be underestimated
"I don't need your advice." Alvin's tone was full of contempt. "We in Storm City never bow to anyone, let alone the dark forces."
"Well, it seems that you are a person who is unwilling to cooperate." The messenger's voice became gloomy, "Then, the Dark City will take measures to safeguard our interests."
"You can try it." Alvin said fearlessly, full of anticipation for the upcoming challenge.
The messenger turned and left, leaving Alvin and Merlin alone. Merlin looked at Alvin, his eyes filled with mixed emotions: "Alvin, do you really think we can withstand the threat of the Dark City?"
"Of course." Alvin said confidently, "As long as we unite as one, we will never let the dark forces invade our homeland."
Merlin nodded, feeling a little comforted by Alvin's determination, but he knew that the fight had just begun.
A few days later, the atmosphere in Storm City became tense, and the soldiers patrolling the city walls were always on guard. Alvin summoned the city's top leaders in the city lord's office to prepare a plan to deal with the Dark City.
"Everyone, we must be prepared." Alvin stood in front of the conference table with a firm look in his eyes. "The Dark City will not give up easily. They will try every possible way to deal with us."
"But, Alvin, our military strength is not superior." A general said worriedly, "The Dark City is powerful. Do we need to seek external assistance?"
"Foreign aid?" Alvin smiled coldly, "We don't need to rely on others. Storm City's strength comes from our unity and courage, not from relying on outsiders."
"But if a conflict really breaks out, our losses will be heavy," another general interrupted.
"I understand the risks, but we must show our resolve." Alvin's voice was firm and powerful. "We must let Dark City know that Storm City will never surrender."
After the meeting, Alvin walked out of the office, the sun shining on him, as if covering him with a layer of glory. A fearless fighting spirit ignited in his heart, ready to meet the upcoming challenges.
As night fell, the stars twinkled in the sky. In the palace of the Alfa Magic Kingdom, the candlelight flickered, illuminating tense faces. Alvin Stormson sat at a large rosewood table, flipping through a document from the Dark City with a sneer on his face.
"Hmph, the Dark City actually wants to confront us head-on. It's really overestimating its own capabilities." Alvin's voice was low and majestic, as if a storm was about to come.
Merlin, the chief magician of the Alpha Kingdom, who was sitting opposite him, frowned slightly, with a worried glint in his eyes. "Your Majesty, their request should not be underestimated. If we refuse, it may lead to a greater conflict."
Alvin raised his head, his eyes as sharp as a knife. "So what if there is a conflict? Our Alfa Magic Kingdom has been the pinnacle of magic since ancient times. They are just some despicable people who rely on dark means. Why should they fight against us?"
"But, Your Majesty, the power of the Dark City should not be underestimated." Merlin continued to advise, "We need to act with caution."
“Cautious?” Alvin sneered, “Where does their courage come from? Is it because of the mysterious dark wizard behind them? I don’t believe they can hold out against our magic for long.”
Merlin sighed, knowing Alvin's character. He always made decisions quickly and decisively, often without allowing others to interfere. "So, how do you plan to deal with their request?"
"I will have you send a letter to the Dark City, rejecting all their demands and demanding that they compensate us ten times the amount." Alvin's voice was firm and cold.
"Ten times? That might anger them." Merlin tried to stop him, "Your Majesty, perhaps you can consider a more gentle solution."
"Gentle? I don't need gentleness." Alvin's voice was high-pitched and full of anger. "If they dare to violate our dignity, they will have to pay the price! I won't let anyone look down on the Alpha Magic Kingdom!"
Merlin was silent, and he knew deep down that Alvin had already made his decision, and any persuasion would be futile. At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and the guard Arno pushed the door open with a solemn expression.
"Your Majesty, the envoys from the Dark City have arrived and they request to see you immediately." There was a hint of nervousness in Arno's voice.
"Let them in," Alvin said without hesitation, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
Not long after, Herman, the messenger of the Dark City, walked in, wearing a black robe and a mask on his face, looking mysterious and gloomy. As soon as he entered the door, he felt Alvin's powerful aura and couldn't help feeling a little scared.
"Son of the Storm of the Kingdom of Alfa, Envoy Herman greets you." Herman bowed slightly, with a hint of humility in his tone.
"I know what you mean by that." Alvin said coldly, "I have read your request. Without a doubt, I reject it."
Herman was slightly stunned, then regained his composure and continued, "Your Majesty, the Dark City is not unreasonable. We just hope to reach a cooperation with the Alpha Kingdom to fight against the upcoming threat together."
"Threat?" Alvin sneered. "Do you think you can force us with threats? The Dark City is just a humble existence. Why should it cooperate with us?"
Herman looked unhappy, but he knew that he couldn't confront Alvin head-on at this time. "Your Majesty, I don't mean to threaten you, but I want to remind you that the dark forces are rising and we need to unite."
"Unity?" Alvin's voice rose a few degrees. "Your unity is just for personal gain. You are not worthy of our trust at all."
"We are willing to pay for this." Herman said firmly, "We can provide powerful dark magic to help the Kingdom of Alpha resist foreign enemies."
"Your dark magic? I would rather believe in the power of light than associate with darkness." Alvin's eyes were like a cold blade, piercing Herman's heart.
"I hope you can reconsider." Herman tried to remain calm. "Dark City is not as fragile as you think. We are capable of standing on equal footing with you."
"You have to pay us ten times the amount." Alvin said coldly, "This is my final decision. If you don't accept it, please leave."
Herman's face suddenly turned pale. He realized that the Son of Storm in front of him had no intention of compromising. "Are you really so determined?"
"This is my order." Alvin was merciless, and his tone was full of unquestionable majesty.
Herman clenched his fists in anger, thinking about his response. "I will convey your decision to the Dark City, but I hope you understand that you will bear the consequences at your own risk."
"Consequences?" Alvin smiled coldly, "I'm never afraid of consequences. The threat of the Dark City is insignificant in my eyes."
Herman retreated reluctantly, secretly vowing to fight for more benefits for the Dark City. He knew that the decision-makers of the Alpha Kingdom were a difficult opponent to deal with.
As Herman left, Alvin showed a smug look on his face. He turned to Merlin, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "See, my decision was right! Dark City can't stand up to us!"
There were several blueprints of magic devices scattered on the table, with clear and complex lines, as if telling of their mystery and power. Just then, Alvin Stormson walked in with a determined look on his face.
"Merlin, I've made up my mind." Alvin's voice was low and powerful, like thunder coming from a distance.
Merlin raised his head, frowned slightly, and there was a hint of surprise in his tone: "Are you really sure you want to do this? This is no small matter. It involves the future of the entire kingdom."
"I understand, but this is our only choice." Alvin looked Merlin in the eye, not flinching. "If we don't act, waiting will only make the enemy stronger. We must strike first."
Merlin pondered for a moment. He admired Alvin's determination, but he was also worried. "You know, this plan is very risky. Even if it succeeds, the consequences may be unpredictable."
"I'm willing to take the risk." Alvin's voice was firm and unwavering. "We can't hesitate any longer, Merlin. We need your help to make this plan come true."
Merlin took a deep breath and nodded. "Okay, if you really decide, I will fully support you. But you need to let me participate in the design and production process. I hope to mass-produce the drawings of those magic devices as soon as possible."
"Of course, I'll give you the blueprints." Alvin smiled slightly, feeling relieved by Merlin's support. "I've already thought about it. We can set up a secret studio in the basement of the castle specifically for this project."
"That's a good idea." Merlin nodded, thinking. "But we need some reliable assistants. Do you have any candidates?"
Alvin thought for a moment and suddenly remembered his old friend: "I've got an idea, Loki. He is very talented in mechanics and may be able to help us solve some technical problems."
"Loki? The guy who always likes to make strange inventions?" Merlin smiled. "He's a good choice, although his inventions can be a little ridiculous sometimes."
"Yes, but he always surprises us at critical moments." Alvin couldn't help but laugh. "And he has a deep understanding of magic devices, which may provide new ideas for our plan."
"That's settled then." Merlin stood up and began to sort out the drawings on the table. "I'll prepare everything and contact Loki as soon as possible."
"We need to act quickly." Alvin's tone was filled with urgency. "I'll go find him and see if he can come right away."
"Wait a minute, Alvin." Merlin suddenly called him. "Are you sure you want to go find Loki yourself? I think this might attract unnecessary attention."
"You're right." Alvin stopped and thought. "Then I'll send him a letter and ask him to come over as soon as possible."
"Good idea." Merlin nodded slightly. "In the meantime, I'll start preparing the materials. We need to make sure everything goes smoothly."
Alvin turned and walked towards the door, then suddenly stopped and looked back at Merlin: "Merlin, thank you. I know this decision is not easy, but I believe we can succeed."
"I believe it too." Merlin smiled and made up his mind. He knew that the road ahead was full of thorns, but as long as they united, they would be able to overcome the difficulties.
A few days later, Loki finally arrived at the castle at Merlin's call. His fluffy blond hair was casually draped over his shoulders, and his face had his unique excitement, as if he had just completed a great invention.
"Merlin! Alvin! What do you want from me?" Loki asked enthusiastically as he entered the room, with curiosity glittering in his eyes.
"Loki, we have an important plan that needs your help." Alvin stood up and looked at him seriously.
"Oh? What's the plan?" Loki's interest was instantly aroused and his eyes lit up.
Merlin pushed the blueprints in front of Loki and explained, "We plan to mass-produce these magical devices to deal with the upcoming crisis."
"Wow, this looks really interesting!" Loki studied the blueprint carefully, a smile on his face. "How did you come up with this? This is a big project!"
