Chapter 589: The Five Elders (2)
"Isaac is also acceptable. After so many years, he has completely matured. His strength is entirely sufficient."
This name was not unfamiliar to the Five Elders present.
Isaac, son of Silas, the Impel Down Warden who died in the Previous Era, had lived in the Holy Land since childhood, receiving elite cultivation, the same treatment as the Holy Knights.
Because Silas had always been on good terms with the Troypei Family, one of the Celestial Dragon Families.
Isaac, possessing great potential, also received key training from the Troypei Family.
All along, Isaac had been considered a hidden combatant of the Troypei Family.
Maintaining the Troypei Family's status.
Since this name was mentioned, it indicated that this was Isaac's own decision, that he had already planned to leave the Troypei Family and align himself with the Five Elders.
This was a painful blow to the Troypei Family.
If not for Isaac, the Troypei Family's interests would have long been divided among other families.
This family was already very weak.
They didn't even have a single Top Tier Combatant.
Their only hope had just become a God's Guard Candidate, and it was unknown how long it would take for them to grow up.
Apart from Isaac, the strongest fighter cultivated by the family was only at the Quasi-Admiral level.
Such strength would definitely be a powerful faction on The Great Sea, but in Mary Geoise, coupled with the unique status of the Celestial Dragons, countless people were watching them.
One could imagine Isaac's importance to the Troypei Family.
Regarding the decline of the Troypei Family, the Five Elders present didn't care, as long as their status as Celestial Dragons was guaranteed.
"It's a good opportunity for him to showcase his strength. After the war, he will be directly promoted to Army General."
They were still very confident in Isaac's strength.
Even among the Holy Knights, he was not weak.
"How much strength should CP0 Agent send?"
Speaking of this, the faces of several Five Elders turned grim again, inevitably thinking of the losses suffered because of the Tyrant Dragon Pirates.
Currently, every combatant in CP0 Agent was indeed very precious.
But there was nothing to be reluctant about.
"Send them all out, along with those young agents. Those who survive will become our key training targets."
Some agents skilled in assassination techniques actually had an advantage in the environment of Blood War Island.
Moreover, they didn't need to participate in the core battlefield; they only needed to kill those pirates in the peripheral areas.
"Later, announce this news to our kin."
This war also required leveraging the strength of numerous Celestial Dragon Families.
The Flying Pirates alone possessed strength that exceeded the strongest Celestial Dragon Family in terms of controlled strength.
Plus the other monsters from the New World.
Although there were nineteen Celestial Dragon Families, their strength varied, and furthermore, it was impossible for them to send out their family's foundation.
Like the Troypei Family, they would only symbolically send out some combatant strength.
The Quasi-Admiral level fighters who served as their foundation could not be sent out.
However, That Person, their only hope and a member of the God's Guard Candidate, could not escape.
After all, all God's Guard Candidates must go to war.
The Celestial Dragon Council would pass this proposal.
Even the Troypei Family could not stop it.
They might even send out their greatest foundation to protect their last hope.
The various factions wanting to suppress the Troypei Family would definitely not miss this opportunity.
Other Celestial Dragon Families would also push for this matter's progress.
Once the Troypei Family falls, most of the assets they control will be divided, making it very difficult for them to rise again.
Among the young agents cultivated by the World Government, the promising talents would also be snatched up by other families.
The distribution of Heavenly Tribute each year would also decrease.
Regarding the distribution of Heavenly Tribute, it was unclear when each family's share began to be differentiated.
If one family's share decreased, the Heavenly Tribute received by the other eighteen families each year would increase.
The news of Isaac leaving the Troypei Family had actually spread in the Holy Land, and countless people were watching them.
Even the non-World Noble Families whose strength far exceeded that of the Troypei Family would not miss this opportunity.
As long as it wasn't discovered, playing some small tricks in the dark was nothing.
In their hearts, the Five Elders actually knew that it would be very difficult for the Troypei Family to recover.
Isaac's departure was the final straw that broke the camel's back.
If not for Isaac's rise, the Troypei Family might have declined even earlier.
The power struggle within the World Government was even more intense than some on The Great Sea.
Even for a Celestial Dragon Family, once a weakness appears, they won't be given any chance.
Ideally, they would only need to keep the title of Celestial Dragon, and everyone in the family wouldn't need training, becoming completely useless Celestial Dragons who were thoroughly spoiled.
The factions on the Red Line were simply too many and too complex.
"As for this war, we will also make a move. Three will be dispatched, and two will remain."
Saint Nusjuro slowly stood up.
"This time, I will personally go. I must witness their threat with my own eyes."
"Then I'll go too." A cold light flashed in Saint Saturn's eyes.
"Count me in." The long-bearded Saint Mars slightly raised his head.
After many years, the Five Elders would make a move again.
And this war would not be limited to below the Top Tier Combatant level.
The Five Elders were special existences among the Celestial Dragons, maintaining the dignity and interests of the Celestial Dragons, but prioritizing the stable state of the World Government.
Because behind them was one of the Twenty Kings who had survived from eight hundred years ago, the King of the Celestial Dragons.
Only they knew this news, as well as the God's Knights Commander-in-Chief.
Most Celestial Dragons did not know this news because they were not qualified to know.
In essence, they followed the orders of That Person in the Room of Flowers, and would execute them without hesitation, even if it meant killing some of their kin.
Moreover, who would want a living ancestor above them?
And one who wasn't even from their own family.
This was also the reason why the Nerona Family had not been subjected to excessive suppression all along.
Because the King who was still alive today came from the Nerona Family.
However, the Nerona Family was not considered a Top Tier Celestial Dragon Family; they could only be said to be upper-middle.
The family possessed two Top Tier Combatants and possibly one hidden combatant in the dark.
Three Five Elders, three from the Army, two from CP0 Agent, plus several from the God's Guard Candidate.
The World Government alone would dispatch over ten Top Tier Combatants.
Plus several monsters from the Marines.
Compared to the last Bloody Battle, the strength dispatched by the World Government this time would be even more terrifying.
This Bloody Battle was not just a war of consumption, but a true Bloody Battle.
Clearly, Shiki also held the same idea.
Hoping to probe out most of the World Government's strength.
Not only the Flying Pirates were going all out, but also the Tyrant Dragon Pirates, Five Peaks Pirates, John Pirates, Silver Axe Pirates, and Demon King Pirates.
Adding the Beast Pirates, Whitebeard Pirates, Big Mom Pirates, and the Monster Legion.
Ten Top Powers, at Shiki's invitation, would all dispatch most of their combatant strength, and many monsters who shook The Great Sea would personally make a move.
For this, Shiki also offered significant interests, so much so that even the "Weather Queen" Charlotte Linlin, who had been developing steadily for many years, personally made a move.
