"Of course!"
Alfred nodded seriously.
"Even under our heavy suppression, the rebel army is still able to grow to such a level. Should this situation persist, who knows just how powerful they will become in the future?"
"Have you never considered this, Archbishop Frederick?"
"However, it's still unclear which faction Joe belongs to."
"Archbishop Frederick Bartley!"
Vice Bishop Alfred interrupted him.
"Do you think that the rebel army will forgive us once they learned of the secret from the Fall of the Gods?"
"This..."
Archbishop Frederick Bartley was slightly perturbed. Although he had only been in office for a short amount of time, he had some fundamental knowledge regarding the Fall of the Gods.
Therefore, he was well aware of what Alfred was referring to.
"Okay, I will attend the Round Table Conference!"
After pondering for a moment, Archbishop Frederick Bartley nodded.
"Very good, Archbishop Frederick Bartley. Be glad, as you have made the right decision."
Vice Bishop Alfred smiled and hung up the call.
Soon, all the major forces had received Vice Bishop Alfred invitation.
"How's that? My old friend, I told you they would agree!"
Horace Julius looked at Whitehead with a smile on his face.
"Cooperate with us to nip the crisis of the rebel army in the bud. Once the rebel army is gone, you will receive the rebel army's rewards from the Hundred Beasts Board."
Upon hearing the reward, Whitehead's eyes immediately lit up.
Naturally, he had coveted the rewards from the Hundred Beasts Board for a long time.
However, as the rewards from the Hundred Beasts Board were provided only to those who owned pet beasts, he had no chance to obtain one.
After all, he had not signed any Beast Contracts yet.
He could only stand there and watch as the rewards were handed out.
However, this was a good opportunity for him. If he could manage to annihilate the rebel army, he would no longer need to worry about it.
Just the massive amount of resources that the rebel army's territory held would make Dragon City rich.
After all, the rebel army occupied vast lands.
Not long after, a so-called Round Table Conference was held between the major forces of the Blue Planet.
While that was going on, everyone else was still paying attention to the Divine Artifact Board's rankings.
"We're finally at the 18th place! We've finally escaped from the rebel army's domination."
On the pet beast forum, those who were not part of the rebel army happily exclaimed.
After the 30th place, the rebel army's members' appearances had become much rarer.
The rankings had returned to a situation where the top few factions were competing against each other once more.
"The person on 18th place shouldn't be someone from the rebel army, right?"
"They shouldn't be. If they were up there, I would be traumatized for real this time."
While everyone was busy, golden words appeared on the Divine Artifact Board in the sky.
[18th place: The Spear of the Journeying Empress Zenobia ]
[ Owner's Level: Advanced Stage 9]
[ Phase: Prime ]
[ Owner: Ferguson Bertram ]
[ Reward: Divine Beast Blood x1 ]
Swoosh!
Golden rays were fired from the board.
In the blink of an eye, the rays had transformed into a charming empress.
She held a long spear in her hand, and the tail on her back was awe-inspiring.
The spear was infused with two types of elements.
One was water, and the other was fire.
It could directly turn water into high-temperature steam, and unleash it with high penetrating power.
"Rebel army aside, the Burbus Temple is undoubtedly the winner among the major factions this time around."
"Indeed, alas, one of the Burbus Temple's rewards was swallowed by that mysterious pet beast earlier."
"Yeah, but even so, there is still no information about that mysterious pet beast until now."
"Keke, it would be nice if I could obtain this reward as well!"
At this moment, the Burbus Temple was a bundle of nerves.
They looked at the golden light that was charging towards them in midair. They could not help but look towards the direction of the rebel army's territory.
They were afraid that yet another mysterious pet beast would charge out and steal their reward.
However...
After swallowing the reward, the pet beast had soared up and vanished from existence.
Ever since then, there were no other abnormalities.
It was only after they had secured the reward did the Burbus Temple finally heave a sigh of relief.
"Hmph! Once the Round Table Conference has convened, we will take our revenge on them!"
Isabel Saxon, who was wearing a bamboo hat, spat coldly.
Under everyone's expectant gaze, the 17th rank was announced
However...
Upon seeing the listing, everyone was stunned speechless.
"How... How could this be?"
[ 17th place: The Oath-devouring Destroyer ]
[ Owner's Level: Advanced Stage 9 ]
[ Phase: Prime ]
[ Owner: Alfredo Chazzo ]
[ Reward: Divine Beast Bloodline x2 ]
A huge black axe with a few holes on it appeared before everyone's eyes.
When they saw this phantom, everyone was stunned.
"The Oath-devouring Destroyer is only ranked 17th? That's impossible!"
All the netizens on the pet beast forum were in an uproar.
"What's going on? That's the Aramborg Religion's Augustus Kim's divine artifact! Augustus Kim, a man who inherited one of the Aramborg Religion's gods' name!"
"Yeah, the blogger's ranking puts him at 8th place, and now he's only ranked 17th? This is too tragic!"
"Blogger, come out here, I promise I won't beat you to death!"
...
Compared to the uproar on the Internet, the entire Aramborg Religion was in utter shock.
"How is that possible? My divine artifact is only in 17th place?"
Augustus Kim's body was burning with golden flames. His tall body was trembling and he had a furious grimace on his face.
"This can't be happening!"
Judson Celeste, who was beside him, frowned and exclaimed
"Although the ranking on the beast tamer forum isn't supposed to be comprehensive, your ranking, even if there's a deviation, wouldn't be so huge!"
"Could it be that the other major factions are hiding their strength?"
"Hmph! I'd like to see what strength they're hiding."
