Chapter 997

"It's just that our alliance cannot have only our two families.

That would be too weak and insufficient to contend with Great Qin!"

It seems Muhammad has not been blinded by arrogance.

He is worthy of being the Prophet of the Arabian Empire, as he can still accurately recognize his own strength.

Fang Xuanling was very happy that someone was willing to take the lead in forming this alliance.

He immediately suggested to Muhammad.

"The alliance is newly established and needs a few powerful core countries.

The most suitable ones to join our alliance and become core founding countries are Byzantium and Kievan Rus.

We can host a dinner and invite the special envoys of their two countries to come over and discuss this matter."

Fang Xuanling's suggestion spoke to Muhammad's heart.

Byzantium is a long-established great power of several hundred years.

Muhammad's Arabian Empire is just a newly risen empire.

He also very much hopes to receive recognition from Byzantium.

Now, inviting Byzantium to join as the alliance leader.

If Byzantium agrees, it is equivalent to acknowledging the Arabian Empire's leadership status.

This will satisfy Muhammad's vanity to a great extent.

"Good, let's do it!

Prime Minister Fang, you are truly a person of wisdom and talent!

I appoint you as the permanent elder of the alliance to devise strategies for our alliance!"

Regarding this position, Fang Xuanling naturally accepted it with a smile.

He knew that the permanent elder seat also represented supreme power.

With this identity, it would also be convenient to obtain some benefits for Great Tang.

"Thank you, Prophet!"

Fang Xuanling did not expect this matter to proceed so smoothly.

Overall, it was because the Arabian Empire was also under immense threat from Great Qin.

Plus this Prophet, who does not know the immensity of heaven and earth, vainly attempts to provoke Great Qin head-on.

Anyway, this only has benefits for Great Tang.

Great Tang hopes that those who jump around happily will charge into battle in the front.

That night, Fang Xuanling and Muhammad invited the people of Byzantium and Kievan Rus to the banquet.

These two countries were not very enthusiastic about joining this alliance.

But they also hoped to gain some understanding of Great Qin's strength through this alliance.

Because Great Qin's prosperity had indeed alarmed those countries ten thousand miles away.

They were all worried about Great Qin's strength.

In short, this alliance was successfully established.

This good news made Li Er breathe a long sigh of relief.
