Chapter 2571: Friendly Advice
Shortly after the treaty signing, the attendees began to exit the Hex Garden.
Some Larkinsons and Crossers lingered for a while in order to chat with each other. Before they formed the Golden Skull Alliance, the two sides only interacted sporadically.
Without the treaty, the two clans didn't have much in common. There was no natural friendship in between them and no reason for them to hang out.
All of that changed today. The pioneering alliance they established today meant that the Larkinsons and Crossers turned into comrades!
Since there was a significant chance that they might fight alongside each other in the future, the soldiers and mech pilots of both clans thought it was prudent to establish some closer relationships.
Patriarch Reginald Cross spoke with Ves for ten minutes before he moved to leave. His stiff expert pilots departed with their leader as well.
