Liu Binglan changed back to the original topic.
The reason for this conference to be held was naturally to decide whether to fight or migrate.
Certainly, the leaders of various New Moon Land regions chose to fight. Even if they would lose, they had to fight. Otherwise, New Moon Land people would never hold their ground in this continent.
Human territories appeared to be peaceful, but the segregation of races was very obvious. For example, those slave rank humans with brown pupils lived in the poorest environment. The resources they could possess were also scarce. The seldom few talented individuals could not break through due to racial rank limitation.
Furthermore, the descendants of those people also lived in a similar situation, it was almost impossible to change.
New Moon Land’s people were constantly improving their social ranking. However, after losing this precious land, would they not end up at the lowest tier like those slave rank humans as a migration race?
Hence, they had to fight no matter what!
However, regardless of how much they wanted to fight, New Moon Palace’s core members had to consider the safety of New Moon Land’s people.
The major factions had been spreading the news that if New Moon Land still refused to migrate, what would happen would not just be a war, but an extermination of the rebellious race. Anyone who stayed in New Moon Land and fought for New Moon Land would be executed, including the family!
Actually, slaughtering was not allowed. The subjugation alliance represented not the eight major factions, but some of the sects within the eight major factions. The other factions would not let these factions in the subjugation alliance do as they like.
Hence, the subjugation alliance was just making empty threats. However, once the war broke out, the slaughtering that would occur could easily be disguised. Such an empty threat might still become a bloody truth.
The enemies were really too powerful, it was useless to just be filled with fighting spirit. It was no different from hitting the rock with an egg.
Hence, New Moon Land was divided into two camps. One camp naturally wished for migration to save the New Moon Land race. The other camp would choose to fight, defending New Moon Land till their death.
Xuan Gate Immortal School’s Madam Ying, Divine Sect’s Magistrate Xiao and Old Sect Master Xiao, Mu Family Dynasty’s Mu Li Clan, Royalty’s Family Master Tao, Beiming City’s elder hermits and Yu Suo all indicated to ask New Moon Land to compromise first and wait until this storm was over. Once Ancient Flood Dragon Person’s incident was resolved, they could find another chance to regain New Moon Land.
At most in twenty years, during the next Dual Earth Conference, New Moon Land would definitely be given back to New Moon Land’s people.
However, if New Moon Land’s people were completed annihilated or had very little remaining, they would not be able to defend New Moon Land even if they won this time.
Recently, Liu Binglan had been hesitating over fighting or migrating.
She wished to fight, but she was unwilling to see New Moon Land dyed in blood. Just one sentence from her ‘We will fight’ might make everyone die.
However, if they did not fight and give New Moon Land away, they had to suffer twenty years of refugee hardship. By then, even if they regained New Moon Land, would it still be New Moon Land?
Suffering from this dilemma everyday caused her to be very haggard. She was able to hold on until now because she still had a trace of hope in her heart. That hope came from Chu Mu.
Over the past few days, Liu Binglan was constantly being pressured by the subjugation alliance. When she saw Chu Mu return, she finally felt a little relieved. No matter how Liu Binglan managed New Moon Land, Chu Mu was still the irrefutable king of this territory. Only he could shoulder such major decisions.
Liu Binglan went through the events of Dual Earth Conference and New Moon Land’s situation in detail. The others were also patiently waiting for Liu Binglan to inform Chu Mu of the matter at hand.
“Currently, migration is being favored, but some still wish to fight. We need a final decision,” Liu Binglan told Chu Mu.
This final decision naturally would be up to Chu Mu, because he was the New Moon Land’s King!
Chu Mu did not participate in Dual Earth Conference, but after hearing Liu Binglan’s anecdote, a flame of rage ignited in his heart!
Ancient Flood Dragon Person was about to awaken, those people did not take direct measures to resolve this problem, but intended to reap New Moon Land for themselves!
They even dared to use the justification of protecting humanity!
Chu Mu really regretted not participating in Dual Earth Conference. If he was at the scene, he would just flip the conference table over and smash it onto the face of that Royalty’s Family Master Gu! What shameless trash!
Furthermore, the two royalties were really too arrogant, as if they were the rulers of humans. This era’s strongest had yet been born, and they claimed to be god?
“Fight.”
Chu Mu spat out one word. He did not say any useless things!
“King Chu, you don’t seem to understand just how much fighting force the enemies we face possess. You are making such a rash decision?” said a young elder who similarly felt dissatisfied.
“King Chu, you have just returned from cultivation. It’s not too late to make the decision after understanding the matter in depth,” said Elder Pang who was better at words.
Most conservative core members suggested Chu Mu to understand the situation first. Persuading words kept coming out.
“King Chu, shall we end the conference here first, and continue discussing tomorrow?” said Nightmare Emperor Jiang.
Chu Mu shook his head and turned his gaze to New Moon Navy’s Chief General Yuan Sui, “How’s the condition of New Moon Navy?”
Yuan Sui raised his head and calmly answered, “We’re waiting for Wupan Navy to come and receive their graves!”
New Moon Navy was a champion army of New Moon Land. They only listened to Chu Mu’s orders from the start.
Even if the entire New Moon Palace chose to migrate, as long as Chu Mu said to fight, New Moon Navy would not shrink back.
“Elder Yu, how’s Holy Guard army?” Chu Mu ignored all voices of protest and asked the few martial instructors.
Uncle Yu was in charge of being the top elder for New Moon Holy Guard. This ex-Royal Chief Instructor nurtured New Moon Holy Guard army into an elite army.
New Moon Holy Guard army’s sole commander was also Chu Mu. If Chu Mu said to fight, nobody in Holy Guard army would say no!
“Waiting for King Chu’s orders!” said Uncle Yu respectfully.
Everyone could call one another casually at normal times. However, in the conference, Uncle Yu had to maintain respect towards a king!
“How’s New Moon Palace army?” Chu Mu’s gaze turned to Chao Lengchuan.
New Moon Palace army was the main force of New Moon Land, it was also the elite army with the largest size.
This army was usually managed by Elder Pang, Elder Shen and Elder Liu, the three most qualified elders from the three palaces. However, the actual commander was Chao Lengchuan. Even though he had been cultivating all the time just like Chu Mu, it had to be Chao Lengchuan who could move this army.
“I remember that during the Independence War, King Chu already said that any unauthorized personnel stepped foot onto this land, be it Cloud Realm’s Realm Lord, Border Lord, Divine Sect Officials...... All will be exterminated! Now, our enemy is no longer the tiny Cloud Realm, nor some Border Lords or Divine Sect Officials. Our enemy has become an enormous existence known as the entire human faction. However, doesn’t that further prove that our strength is sufficient to make all those factions wary?”
“In that case, how can we not fight?” said Chao Lengchuan with some bloodthirst.
Chao Lengchuan’s words caused the conference hall to stay silent for a long time. Chu Mu was watching him and thought, it’s been a while since I last saw him. How did he suddenly become so domineering? Is he still that reserved Prince Chao?
Leaders should possess the courage of a leader. Prince Chao’s words were perfect. Chu Mu did not like to say inciting words. Prince Chao’s words perfectly filled this gap of Chu Mu.
“Bai Yu, what about you?” asked Chu Mu as he turned to Uncle Bai Yu.
“I’m in charge of killing people,” said Bai Yu plainly.
“King Chu, I, Bai Shaoye, and the external New Moon Palace army I’m commanding are willing to follow with our lives,” Bai Shaoye directly made his stand.
Bai Shaoye and Shen Mo were both in charge of the fighting force of external New Moon branch Palaces. They similarly owned a powerful army. Now, Bai Shaoye made his stand as an external core member, it was sufficient to prove his loyalty.
Chu Mu took a glance at Bai Shaoye and nodded. It seemed that using the light type Immortal Item to gain his favor back then was the right choice.
After Bai Shaoye, City Defense Generals, Realm Guard Commanders and various City Lords also made their stand!
In an instant, those wishing for migration felt helpless.
Originally, the migration faction even gained some advantage. However, after Chu Mu returned, those people holding real authority all chose to follow this king!
Chu Mu was no good at army deployment and war tactic, so the actual commanding was left to Chao Lengchuan.
Chao Lengchuan had been cultivating in the recent years, but he cultivated in all the places within human territories where war broke out. This was also the reason he became so courageous.
Hero Chief Yuan Sui was outstanding in commanding. New Moon Navy core army and Marine should not be a problem in his hands.
The two of them were assigned chief army commanders by Chu Mu.
After the conference ended, Hero Chief Yan Sui, Bai Yu, Chao Lengchuan, Bai Shaoye, Shen Mo, Liu Binglan, Wanxiang City’s General Luo Zhongjum, Xiang Rong City’s City Lord Xia Zhixian, Ye Wansheng, Uncle Yu Fengdi, Cloud Gate Elder Yue Lei, Elder Liu, Elder Pang, Elder Shen, as well as all of New Moon Land’s inner core members were held back by Chu Mu.
These people were all trusted by Chu Mu and possessed authority over armies. Chu Mu had to know the exact difference between his own side and the subjugation alliance.
“Chu Mu, our Dominator rank fighting force numbered around 6000, while the subjugation alliance had 16,000. In just Dominator rank, we are 10,000 short of the enemy,” said Chao Lengchuan as he looked at Chu Mu.
Chao Lengchuan knew Chu Mu also controlled Yu Suo’s Invisible Kingdom. If this Invisible Kingdom surfaced, they might still have the qualification to fight. Otherwise, saying to fight would be just empty words.
“Our Dominator rank fighting force is not only 6000, it will far exceed this number,” said Chu Mu calmly.
New Moon Land’s Dominators certainly numbered only around 6000. From the original few to around 6000, this development speed was really astonishing.
However, that only counted human Dominators.
“Not only 6000?” Elder Pang could not think of any other forces no matter how much he thought.
These people who were familiar with Chu Mu seemed to have forgotten about this. Not only was Chu Mu New Moon Land’s King, he possessed the identity of another King!
