"Stop the war with war? If we really start a war with the Dragon Eagle, then we'll lose more than just five Tribulation Stage Great Elders. At that time, we'll be attacked on three sides. Not only will we lose a large number of people, but we'll also lose our territory. Who will bear this responsibility? Will it be you, Elder Tan? "Elder Li looked at Elder Tan sternly.
He was absolutely opposed to starting a war at this time. Whether it was the matter of Blue Heart City or the attack on Luo River, it was clear that someone wanted to cause trouble.
Although the current situation pointed to the Dragon Eagle, this might just be a plot by the true mastermind. If they really started a war with the Dragon Eagle now, then they might really fall into the trap of the mastermind.
"If we don't even have the courage to start a war, then does Elder Li know what we'll lose? Now that our Xiaohai City has been attacked again and again, the disciples of the imperial court are furious and ready to fight. At this time, the disciples of the imperial court are filled with fighting spirit.
If we don't fight now, then we'll only disappoint all the disciples. Previously, many disciples were already disappointed in us after the incident in Blue Heart City. If we endure this time, then more and more disciples will be disappointed in us.
And judging from the current situation, if we don't take any measures, more cities will definitely be attacked. At that time, if we continue to endure, how will the disciples of the imperial court view us? At that time, even if we want to fight, these disciples won't have any confidence.
If we are attacked by the Dragon Eagle at this time, do you think we'll be able to stop it? And as you said, if we start a war with the Dragon Eagle, then the other imperial courts will definitely take the opportunity to send troops. At that time, our Xiaohai City will lose the hearts of the people, and the entire imperial court will collapse at the first blow!
If we start a war now, it might seem like the other imperial courts will become restless, but we are the ones taking the initiative to send troops. We have absolute authority. Before that, we can first set up defenses in the various border cities.
When the time comes, we can send troops to Ru City and attack the Dragon Eagle Territory in one fell swoop, catching them off guard.
If we let others attack first, then we'll be passive. When that time comes, not only will we lose the cities, but we'll also lose the morale and hearts of the people. Outer King, please make a decision! "Elder Tan was in the pro-war faction. After some analysis, he handed the final decision to the Outer King.
King of Howling Sea, who was seated at the head of the table, was also a little tempted by Elder Tan's analysis. Although the current situation might not be as simple as it seemed on the surface, Elder Tan's last sentence was correct. If we let others attack first, we would be in a passive position.
Moreover, once someone else attacked first, the battle would start in the Howling Sea. And if they sent their troops first, then the battlefield would be within the borders of the Dragon Eagle, and what they destroyed would also be the territory of the Dragon Eagle.
If they could take down a few more cities after Blue Heart City, then the eastern side of the Howling Sea Empire would be even safer. With Blue Heart City as his shield, he could attack from the front and defend from the back.
If they attacked, the Howling Sea's forces would grow stronger and stronger. However, if they couldn't win, they could always retreat to Blue Heart City and defend the Howling Sea's original forces.
Among the foreign dynasties, the Xiao Ocean Kingdom was one of the weaker ones. Therefore, the foreign dynasties around them were always ready to make trouble for them.
Although the real culprit in these two attacks had yet to be determined, they still needed to display some strength to deter some rascals. They needed to let them understand that although the Howling Sea Empire wasn't the strongest, it didn't fear anyone's threat.
"King, we don't have enough evidence to prove that the Dragon Eagle is the mastermind behind these two attacks. Perhaps the culprit is someone else!" Seeing the King's expression, Elder Li knew that the King had been persuaded by Elder Tan and immediately became anxious.
"Elder Li, regardless of whether the Dragon Eagle is the real culprit or not, we have enough reason to send troops against the Dragon Eagle. Moreover, now that everyone in the world knows that Blue Heart City and Luo River have been attacked, we have the moral high ground.
Therefore, if the Howling Sea Empire says that the Dragon Eagle is the culprit, then the Dragon Eagle will be the culprit! As long as we catch them off guard and occupy a few cities as quickly as possible, the Howling Sea Empire's power will greatly increase, while the Dragon Eagle's power will greatly decrease.
This is an opportunity! "Elder Tan said with a smile.
"Then what if the Dragon Eagle isn't the culprit? Then won't we be used as knives? "Elder Li said angrily.
"So what? Who the culprit is is no longer important to us. What's important is that the Howling Sea Empire will definitely win this battle and the Dragon Eagle will definitely lose. At the same time, we have to make the Dragon Eagle suffer a double loss. It's best if we can make the Dragon Eagle fall into chaos.
As such, before we send troops, we can contact the few foreign dynasties around the Dragon Eagle. When the time comes, I'm sure they'll be very willing to cooperate with us to attack the Dragon Eagle! "Elder Tan said nonchalantly.
"How can we do that …"
"Elder Li, Elder Tan's words are somewhat reasonable. These two incidents have a great impact on the Howling Sea Empire, so we need to take some action to make our disciples trust us.
Those three black-robed men are very powerful. If it wasn't for our disciples discovering them, perhaps we wouldn't even have this clue. If we really do not move, then in a few months, our other cities will be attacked.
Clearly, even if the Dragon Eagle isn't the real culprit, the real culprit still wants to mess with us. Rather than being so passive, it's better for us to take the initiative to attack. This way, we can at least take the initiative. At the same time, we can appease our disciples and even deter the surrounding people.
Compared to the other foreign dynasties, the Dragon Eagle is clearly the most suitable foreign dynasty for us to send troops to, "the Outer King said to Elder Li.
"Wise, Outer King!" Elder Tan saw that the Outer King had agreed with him and was immediately delighted. When he saw Elder Li's ugly expression, he said loudly to the Outer King.
"But Outer King …" Elder Li did not give up. He wanted to fight for more, but he was interrupted by the Outer King again.
"Elder Li, I understand what you mean. You're worried that this is a trap by the real culprit. But don't worry, I've already thought about it. Even if this is a trap, we'll beat them at their own game. We'll go along with their plan and take more of the Dragon Eagle's territory. This isn't a bad thing for the Howling Sea Empire.
It's decided. The Howling Sea Empire is going to attack the Dragon Eagle. Everyone just needs to prepare for the war. Elder Tan, I'll leave the matter of attacking the Dragon Eagle with the other foreign dynasties around the Dragon Eagle to you! "the Outer King said to Elder Tan.
"Don't worry, Outer King. I'll definitely not let you down. I'll handle this matter beautifully. I believe that the other foreign dynasties are also looking forward to the news we bring! "Elder Tan was even more delighted when he heard this task.
