Ai Xiaolu was not worried about the Hail Cloud Alliance deploying its forces. The Sirius Star's strong resistance was expected, as this proved that Sirius was indeed a step away from becoming a major power. This was a trial that Manaluoso had to overcome. As for the Hail Cloud Alliance, they are simply playing a supportive role. They had already reaped the benefits, and had plans to proceed further. A country's system could not change overnight. While the Hail Cloud Alliance may not be a major superpower, it is not weak either, and its geographical location was decent - hard to invade and easy to defend. They were like the Gemini Star, a relatively safe country.
