"Henry, you've finally made it out!"
Milborne walked out of the Tai Chi Ruins, cupping his fist before his chest and smiling at Henry.
"Thank you for your concern, Cloud Emperor. Are your men all right?"
Henry also cupped his fist before his chest.
"We're fine. It's just some giant beasts, they may be fierce, but they aren't very intelligent. We are armed, we can protect ourselves!"
Milborne paused, then said, "It's just that we all have no divine powers now, therefore we must unite, so as not to be led to out deaths in the Forbidden Zones by some people!"
As Milborne spoke, he turned around and looked at Ludwig, who was sitting on the ground in the Tai Chi Ruins.
The meaning behind his words could not be more obvious.
At that moment, no one had any divine powers, and one's strength could no longer be measured through one's realm, strength could only come in numbers.
The Grand Xia Dynasty knew of the situation in the Restricted Zones, and were well-prepared for it. Naturally, they had the most men, plus they were also very well armed.
Although Henry's team only had four to five people, they were all experts. Even without any divine powers, their capabilities were not to be underestimated.
Which was why Milborne immediately stepped out of the Tai Chi Ruins to form an alliance with Henry.
His number of men were slightly fewer than that of the Grand Xia Dynasty. Only by uniting with Henry and the others would he be able to suppress Ludwig.
"The Cloud Emperor is right. Everyone is currently in danger. It's true that we need to stick together and work as a team..." Henry walked towards a knocked-down wall within the Tai Chi Ruins and looked at Ludwig with a smile. "Sixth Prince, what do you think?"
"I..." Ludwig was speechless.
He had long known that Virpids the Old Devil was actually Henry in disguise.
Henry had slapped him twice and worked with Diarmi to capture him into the Sacred Empire.
He hated Henry to the core! Now that they were in the Restricted Zone, he was hoping that Henry would die there. He had intended to ignore Henry completely.
However, unexpected to him, Henry took the initiative to talk to him.
That was clearly provocation! "Dear Sixth Prince, although we had some grudges in the past, now that we're all in the Restricted Zones, I think it would be best for us to let go of our past issues and work together as a team!"
Henry smiled lazily and said, "When we get out of the Restricted Zones, you can still seek me for revenge!"
"Humph! When you get out of here, you'll be in the protection of the Hong Clan. How would I have the chance to kill you?"
Ludwig harrumphed in annoyance.
"Does that mean you are going to set yourself against Henry?"
Milborne approached them and said coldly, "Prince Xia, the Thundercloud Empire has already formed an alliance with Henry. If you act against him, you will be seen as an enemy of the Thundercloud Empire!"
"If we join forces, the people of the Grand Xia Dynasty won't be a match for us, right?"
Milborne sneered again.
"This..." Ludwig got to his feet, speechless.
There were also quite a number of people from the Thundercloud Empire. They had forced Ludwig to spill quite a lot of information regarding the Restricted Zones back then. Now, with the addition of Henry and his group of friends, there was no way Ludwig could fight back against them! "Alright, let's forget about the past and work together to repair the Tai Chi Ruins and create a formation once more!"
Ludwig paused and cast a cold glance at Henry. "However, we have to choose a leader to manage and command, just in case someone stirs up trouble!"
"Of course!"
Henry said with a smile, "Who do you think shall be the leader among us?"
"The Cloud Emperor... of course!"
Ludwig said somewhat unwillingly.
He had wanted to be the leader, but Milborne and Henry would definitely not agree to that.
Henry, however, could never be the leader.
Therefore, Ludwig recommended Milborne be the leader.
"Since you trust the Cloud Emperor, I shall trust him too. Furthermore, he is the Imperial Lord of the Thundercloud Empire, and has a high status. It's only natural for him to be the leader!"
Henry looked at Ludwig and said with a smile.
"Humph! You're sly and cunning. At least the Cloud Emperor is more trustworthy than you!"
Ludwig snorted.
"Alright, then we both shall recommend the Cloud Emperor as our leader. Let's work together and get out of the Restricted Zones, then we'll talk!"
Henry looked at Milborne again.
