Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Chapter 1263: Summit of different races (2)



As I sat there at the head of the table looking at everyone, there was a strange feeling that filled me.

After all, I didn't expect this to happen.

Even if I was the one that had brought the reinforcements from the different races, I was still planning on letting the four empires lead this.

But in the end, the representatives from all four empires ceded this seat to me.

They all looked like they wanted me to lead this meeting instead of doing it themselves.

Of course, I understood why they wanted me to do this.

I saw the way that they looked at the representatives from the other races.

It was clear that they were afraid of making a mistake and ruining the relationship, so they wanted to make sure that everything went smoothly.

To do that, it was a better idea to let someone who was familiar with the other races to take the lead.

Which was why I had been forced into this position.

But I could see the way that the representatives from the other kingdoms looked at me.

It wasn't hard to tell what they were thinking about this.

To them, it seemed like someone was climbing above them with the support of the empires.

In the first place, it wasn't as if they were happy to be beneath the empires of the human race. It was just that there was nothing that they could do about this since the empires were much stronger than them.

Even if they wanted to resist, there was nothing that they could do to resist.

But seeing another kingdom that was in the same situation rising up because of this...

Simply put, they were envious.

But even if they were, that didn't matter since this was a place for the different races to talk things out and come to an understanding.

This was the place for the different races to finally put aside the past and come to an understanding.

It was a time for the different races to unite against a bigger threat.

That all depended on what I said next.

So I looked at the Holy Empire's representative and said, "Please tell everyone the prophecy that was passed down."

The Holy Empire's representative was surprised to hear this, but he eventually came back to his senses and nodded in agreement. Turning to the others, he started telling everyone the prophecy that was passed down.

After hearing it, all of the humans deeply knitted their brows.

The representatives from the other races weren't as surprised since they had already heard about these things from their own gods.

After a moment of silence, one of the human representatives suddenly asked, "Why did you keep this from us?"

Normally, the human representatives wouldn't have questioned the Holy Empire like this, but this was a different situation.

After all, this was something that involved the entire human race and even many of the other races. This was something that was related to the possible destruction of the world, so it was only natural that they were agitated.

The representative from the Holy Empire slowly turned to look at this human representative. When this happened, the human representative couldn't help shrinking back a bit.

The pressure from the representative of one of the empires was naturally not something to look down on for these human representatives.

The only thing that he could do was turn to one of the other representatives from the four empires.

However, it didn't seem like they were planning on saying anything.

It seemed that all of the representatives from the four empires already knew about this prophecy.

It was only the representatives from the kingdoms that didn't know about this.

The rest of the human representatives couldn't help gritting their teeth when they saw this. The way that the representatives acted, it seemed that they were looking down on the other human representatives, which was why they never told them anything. All of these human representatives were kings or high ranking officials in their kingdoms, so it was rare for them to be treated like this.

It was only the four empires that could treat them like this.

I didn't say anything while this happened since I already expected the human representatives to act this way.

They were nobles and if something hurt their pride, it was only natural that they would be offended.

After giving them some time to work through this, I said, "Alright, now that everyone is caught up, let's get to the main topic. During this time, I've been going around talking to the heads of the various other races and building a relationship with them. That is why they were willing to come and help us this time. However, in the future, we will need to build a stronger relationship than this if we were to face what is coming."

All of the human representatives knitted their brows when they heard this.

Looks of thought were on their faces.

Even if they were angry because of the way that the four empires treated them, that didn't mean that they were fools that would ignore these words. Just a single thought was enough for them to see the benefits of these words, so they were already trying to calculate what stance they should take.

As expected of those that ruled over their respective countries.

They at least had quick reactions and deep thoughts that allowed them to see more than just what was on the surface.

After giving them some more time to think about this, I said, "In the future, we will have much more contact with each other. So before that, we need to first set some boundaries so we know what lines can't be crossed."

Turning to the representatives of the other races, I said, "So if there are any terms that you want to put forth, then please tell us now so we can figure out where to start from."
