Lord Shadow

Those who knows the inside story knows that the Order of Thinkers still have a lot to answer for.

They have done human experimentation with their cybernetic soldiers and other stuff.

Other stuff means it might even be worse than some people thought so much so it is not mentioned in the official report.

But while there are not many members of The Order here on the platform, they still have to show some of their members.

The Grand Researcher could not come as she is still in Antarctica

There is the fact that she rarely goes out from there and there is also the fact that there is the Blood Sea.

Since the chaos a month ago, the Blood Sea seems to become more active with many more wraiths coming out from the Blood Sea and monster is being generated almost every few hours.

But there is two members of the Order of Thinkers that sat on the platform. And these two are the most recognizable one.

There is Eric Strauss

He is tall, lanky and is wearing a monocle.

That monocle of his is scratched. And his handsome rugged face is marred by a huge line of scars across his eyes.

Though if you look at another way, it added a certain manly charm about him to have such scars across his eyes.

As for the monocle, he did not war it because of fashion.

Some said that his monocle could see through atomic composition and some said that monocle of his could zoom in and zoom our on someone energy.

There are many rumors about the abilities of that monocle. One thing is true, is that nobody knows what it does

He did not seem to care that his face is shown on the camera as he simply looks straight ahead. It looks weird but everyone is accustomed of the Order of Thinkers weirdness.

Then there is Graham. He is a middle age man with neatly trimmed grey beard.

He is around five feet seven and his body is lean and there is no trace of any muscle on his body.

Not exactly an imposing kind of guy. Compared to many people on the platform he might be one of the shorter one

His blonde hair neatly tied on the back and he wears a glass that look like an antique created during the Victorian era.

But he is recognizable to many powerful people on the world

This is because Graham is one of the few researchers in the Order of Thinkers that have a big pocket

As for why he is here…some people believe it is because he could have a lot of information about the enemy

This is because it is known that Graham had a ton of connection in the crime world, lots of researchers contact in the great powers, and countless channel of resources.

And he might be the freest researcher in the order of Thinkers because most of his research are privately funded.

He is also one of the high ranking members of the Order of Thinkers so it would not bring words like the order of Thinkers did not heed the call of the other world powers.

These two are the only ones that have come from the Order of Thinkers and as for their soldiers, they are robot soldiers.

They almost look humans because of the life-like skins attached to these robots but they are robots nonetheless.

Most of their other members are scattered all over the island or in some secret site analyzing or building something

This is the thought of the people watching.

Order of Thinkers strength is in researching and using new technology so it might be their job to supply new weapon or new technology to the other world powers.

The screen also shows the people of the African Alliance.

There is a lot of them but not many who ae famous.

Those who knows these people might be the people from the African continent but even then not all of them are people that the world knows.

The African Alliance has too many people on the platform and many of them are sitting

But people could guess why. Unlike the other world powers that is dominated by one person or one organization or faction, the African Alliance is a lot like the Lotus Order in that they are governed and administered by many people

Especially the African Alliance which has a lot of countries, kings, presidents and Queens. Those sitting on the chair must be powerful and influential people in the African Alliance.

Their alliance with ac other had mange to contain the war in the surface and they focused more on hunting the beast and monsters all over the African Continent

This did not mean all things were peaceful. Every once in a while a battle between warlords would flare up, and regime is toppled.

The victors would then join as the new representative of the African Alliance.

And it does not mean tribal rivalry is dead. It is alive and well.

loyalties still often go first to the tribe

Some people hated the Zulu's. Some people hated the other tribe. The massacre in Rwanda comes to mind

The Hutu, Tutsi and Twa tribes, killing each other

Each African ethnicity are linked to clans and extended family, where you inherit traditional rights, obligations but also the feuds of your ancestors.

Just because the Fall happened, does not mean everyone suddenly decides to get along.

Even before the Fall, even though the whole word had been modernized, there are still some tries that rejected modernization and lives a traditional kind of life

However, the African Alliance is a grand undertaking, of a grand vision that would have crumbled if not guided by a firm hand and just punishment

And unlike before, these warlords, the powerful men and women who uses power to enslave others could not let it get too far or do too much.

In the past, there is many interest in keeping them in chaos.

And help or aid is hard to reach the truly affected ones as the international aid mostly only helps the government and not the people affected by it.

If you got a good government, then the aid might help you. But when people were sent billions of dollars of aid, those aid did not exactly help the people.

Of course the intention is good.

The money is given, so that the government could stabilize the country, create jobs, bringing peace and stability to the country

If people were angels, this would be easy but people are not.

Those politicians ask for aid, more than half goes into their pocket, the other goes to building projects but also enter the pockets of other politicians.

In the end, what the people get is the scraps

However, after the Fall, and after the formation of the Great Powers, the African Alliance was established to supervise these things.

They either fall together or rise together.

Either they united or they would be dismembered by the other world powers.

It is only when it threatens their survival that they choose to forget old rivalries and old feuds to unite with each other

They might not like each other but they try to contain that to themselves

Though, there is still drama each time, a meeting between all of the African leaders happen.

in their early formation, Pandemonium, World Government and the Republic is just waiting for them to make a mistake.

Death Monarch was very direct in his implication. If the African Alliance failed to pacify the African Continent, then even if another power is to dethrone them, he would not care.

What he cares at that time was the strongest power at the time to take control, bring peace and stability and keep the world in check so that it would become a chaotic mess.

There is Nehanda Nunurai.

There is Kairu.

These two people wears armors and the sight of them is like a warrior king ready to sprang into battle

It is good that they bring only twenty people on the platform. If they brought all fifty-four of those representative of the African Alliance, the second level platform would be crowded

The African Alliance rarely does meddle in the matter of the other world powers, satisfied with enriching and strengthening themselves.

But Death Monarch spoke and his will is the will of Heaven.

Today, he called the Seven World Powers, and those who did not listen and those who did not heed his orders, one could imagine what would happen to them after this ended.

Death Monarch has arranged the world before. Who would say he would not rearrange it again? Not to mention that he is now stronger than before and at the peak of his power.

The African Alliance knows how to weigh benefit and loss

Everyone, even those who are the most optimistic about the Pirates and the Crime Alliance chances knows that even if somehow the prates and the dark forces of the world win this battle today, they would not be able to kill Death Monarch.

And so, win or lose, Death Monarch would still be alive.

What the pirates, the Crime Alliance and the dark forces is trying to do today is to force the world power to treat them as equals.

However, people would die today.

The world doesn't know this but Death Monarch had spoken to the leaders of the world power already.

He said this is not a war where he could control everything that would happen. People would die but this war is necessary.

To bring stability.

The moment that Kaiju get that trident, the stability of the world has already been compromised.

It it's anyone else, of any other faction, even not one that is affiliated with the world power….it would not lead to such an outcome.

It is precisely because it ends up in Kaiju hand that this war happens.

Kaiju is an Outsider, and he is a battle maniac, and someone who is unpredictable. And the weapon he possesses is like holding a nuclear weapon.
