The Allied Kingdoms
[3rd POV]
(Three weeks ago)
In the southernmost city of the Kingdom Nanzhao, an important meeting unlike anything that had ever happened before, was taking place.
The building was the castle of the city but the weird thing about it was that everything was quiet which meant that there were not many people in that castle even though it was massive.
There were no servants, there were no soldiers and there were no residents. In the main room of the castle, seven people were occupied with each other and they were also the only people in the whole castle.
There was a palpable tension in the air. The presence of these individuals was so massive that it took over the whole castle, making the empty rooms have the weight of being occupied.
There was silence but their presence was so heavy that anyone would be able to tell that someone was in the castle.
"So, is anyone going to say something or are we going to continue observing each other and wait for the other to attack?" said a tiger who had a robust physique but his scholar clothes would tell you that he was not a warrior. He was just blessed with a great body and supernatural strength since birth.
He was the King of the South Kingdom Dali.
"I think it's for the bird to decide, he was the one who called this meeting. I was going to reject it at first but he promised in the name of his kingdom that it was going to be worth our while." said a crocodile wearing a luxurious golden robe. His scales also have rubies and golden webs between them to show his wealth,
He was the King of the Central Kingdom Tang.
"Could you please get to the point quickly? I have my harem to attend to." The tiger, the King of Dali said with a tired yawn that seemed to show his carefree attitude which was exactly opposite to how he actually felt.
"I am glad you can all make it." the golden pheasant, the King of Nanzhao said.
This was the other plan that he had besides giving orders to Mighty Eagle. He was about to do something drastic to make sure that Lord Shen and Tai Lung were forever gone from this world.
That was how much of a threat they posed to the world, at least in his eyes.
Getting the two kings in one room was no easy feat, however he was somehow able to do it. An event like this where more than two kings had a meeting was 20 years ago so it was not a common occurrence at all.
Though the kings were accompanied by their general and their strongest warrior. The bird King of Nanzhao eyed the two warriors who stood behind their respective kings.
They were strong.
But he was not outdone by them as behind him was Master Eagle, also known as Mighty Eagle. He was simply standing there but his whole presence seemed to loom over them as the two warriors the kings brought seemed to be on edge.
So when he spoke, the king of Nanzhao did so with confidence.
"I want to form an alliance."
...
...
...
Silence.
,,,
,,,
,,,
Then laughter.
"Hahahahahahahahahaha!!"
"Hahahahahahahahahaha!!"
The Tiger and the Crocodile, the King of Dali and the King of Tang started laughing hysterically as the sound echoed through the empty castle.
The laughter was not fake or overdone either, it was genuine.
The room went quiet as they listened to his words. Although his action was not traditional, they had respect for his beliefs and motives.
"So, what's it going to be?" the King of Nanzhao asked again.
'If I don't win, I will make sure both of you don't either.'
'If I lose, I will drag you both with me.'
That was basically what the situation was. Both of the kings know that if Nanzhao actually surrenders without a fight, there will be three powers against them. Army of Nanzhao, Tai Lung and Lord Shen with his army and weapons.
They won't win, that's for sure.
"Cunning bastard." the crocodile said with a shake of his head.
"Let's talk about how we are going to divide the spoils and the lands first." he continued with an annoyed smile.
That was all but a confirmation that they would likely accept the proposal. In the end, they were able to settle on the rewards in a way that all of them were satisfied.
The Kingdom of Nanzhao will get the entirety of the land of Shu. But in return, she would give some of her territory to the Kingdom of Dali. The lands which the Dali were always envious of would be theirs.
And Tang will get Gongmen City. The land was not massive but the economy was something that would be arguably more beneficial.
"I accept the Alliance."
"I accept the Alliance."
..
..
After a thousand years, three of the ten kingdoms have united against a common enemy. There was no doubt in their mind that they would win with this.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Tai Lung is the main problem here as he alone has strength that could rival a Kingdom. We take him out and then the rest would be much easier." said the bird, king of Nanzhao.
"Any plans?" Crocodile said. King of Tang
"We will march towards Gongmen City and try to capture it. Most of Lord Shen's forces are in Shu right now so the army will not be able to come in time to defend it. In this case, Tai Lung will be forced to protect the city." said the bird.
"We will send a huge portion of our forces to Gongmen city along with our most powerful warrior; Mighty Eagle, Master Warturtle and Master Tiger. Then we make sure to take out Tai Lung for good. A walking Kingdom cannot be allowed to exist."
"You mean we march towards a city full of civilians and that too without notifying the rulers so that they could deploy forces to defend it? That would be a war crime and a breach in the Codes of War." said Tiger, the king of Dali.
"Oogway is dead so small breach like this could be overlooked. Its not a huge war crime like poisoning the enemy's food source either so we should be fine. And are you sure you want to let Tai Lung grow until he becomes like Oogway? If we don't kill him not that's what he will become. " the bird said.
"Right. There will be no one to complain after we are done either." said the crocodile.
..
..
The meeting went on for a few days until the plans were finalized.
"it has been decided!!"
.,.
And then the three kingdoms made their move.
