The entire great hall.
The moment Karkat's words landed, it was so silent that even the drop of a pin could be heard clearly.
Mottled breathing sounds lingered in the hall.
Everyone's gazes were focused on Karkat. The gazes of the sovereigns and country lords made Karkat feel an unprecedented pressure.
In that instant, his back was drenched in cold sweat.
"Your majesty Karkat, we didn't seem to have heard your suggestion clearly, could you please repeat it?"
The sovereign in the middle spoke.
Give up the camp?
！ Give the natural advantage they had to the remnants of the sacred universe country?
That was too inconceivable.
They really suspected that there was something wrong with their ears.
The moment he had made up his mind to make this request, Karkat had practically used up all his courage.
Now that the sovereign had asked him to repeat it, he really couldn't say it out loud.
"Your majesty Karkat?"
Seeing Karkat standing in the great hall, yet not saying a word, the sovereign urged him.
"I … I …" Everyone could hear Karkat's heavy breathing as he lowered his head.
Following which, Karkat clenched his fists tightly, raising his head and speaking to the sovereign.
"I plead with the sovereign, to return the camp to the blue side!"
"Karkat, you're crazy!"
The moment his words landed, there was a cry of shock in the great hall.
The person who spoke wasn't a sovereign, nor a country lord, but one of the Bone brothers who had come with Karkat to buy the training spots.
This person was made of white bones from head to toe.
The two eyes of the skull were burning with blue flames, and there was also a flame burning on its chest.
Maybe it was because he was too agitated, as he danced around, the bones in his body were creaking.
"You want to return the camp to the blue side?
！ You want to lose?
！”
"Your majesty Mount Bone, please don't be too agitated, I have my reasons for saying this."
Karkat gritted his teeth.
"Bullsh * t reasons!"
The Mountain of Bones shouted. The skull's upper and lower jaws made creaking sounds as they collided. "The campsite belongs to us. It's our natural advantage. If you return the campsite now, won't you be increasing the enemy's strength?"
The other country lords and dukes all looked at Karkat.
They needed Karkat to give them a reasonable explanation.
"No!"
Bearing the heavy pressure, Kakat gritted his teeth and shouted.
"I think we have to do this."
"Let …" Before Mount Gu could finish his sentence, the Supremacy standing in the middle slowly raised his hand.
Towards a Venerable, Gushan still had to show the corresponding respect. Even though the Gu Clan was not a small clan in the universe, when he saw the Venerable raise his hand, Gushan still swallowed the words he was about to say and stared at the side of Karkat's face.
From the moment Karkat had decided to stand in the middle, he had not stopped breaking out in cold sweat.
He had already thought of this.
After making such a decision, everyone would definitely do the same.
However, he had no way out. Whether he won or lost, he would be consigned to eternal damnation.
Only a draw would give him a chance to live.
He had to fight for this opportunity.
But in front of these people, he couldn't express his thoughts.
This was because they had the upper hand. Judging from the current situation, they had a 90% chance of winning.
If he said he wanted a draw.
It would be considered as slacking off in this trial. If the Mercenary Alliance knew, they would not forgive him.
Those Majesties and Princes who bet on the red side would not forgive him either.
He had to do it discreetly.
In the end, he would push the responsibility to the Supremacy, saying that all decisions were made by the Supremacy.
"Sir Venerable, Your Excellency Mount Gu, I don't know if you have ever thought of such a problem."
Karkat took a deep breath, "In our trial, the camp's output will give us points."
"There's no need for you to repeat it. We all know."
Mount Gu snorted.
"Now that almost all the camps are here, the blue side only has two warship camps. This means that our way of obtaining points has been greatly reduced.
On the other hand, the red side has a huge amount of points to obtain. "
"So what? No matter how many points they have, they have nowhere to use them!"
Mount Gu said in disdain.
"They do!"
Karkat insisted, "Even if they don't have a camp, they can use it on the warship camp.
As long as they have enough points, their warship camp will level up. "
"So what if they level up?"
"Yes, in the beginning, it won't have much of an impact. But what if they level up to Duke, King, Monarch, or even Venerable?"
Karkat's expression was dignified, "Then the two camps will be the output of 800 Venerable level warships. At that time, will we be able to resist?"
Mount Gu was stunned by Karkat's words. Karkat continued to speak.
"On the other hand, all the camps are here with us. We don't have a place to obtain points. Moreover, the blue side's 512 times difficulty factor increases the output of our camps by 512 times. In total, the number of points they obtain is thousands of times more than us!"
"Thousands of times!"
"This means that our camp's level up will be thousands of times slower than theirs."
"This trial, to put it bluntly, is a contest of camp levels.
It's impossible for us to level up all the camps. We will definitely level up one camp.
At that time, those low-level camps will only be a burden to us! "
"I am doing this because I hope that both sides can obtain equal points."
"That way, we will be undefeatable!"
No one spoke in the hall, as though they were all considering Karkat's question.
Among them, there were already a few Monarchs and Monarchs nodding their heads, feeling that Karkat's words were reasonable.
Noticing the change in the gazes of the others, Karkat secretly clenched his fist, striking while the iron is hot.
"Sir Venerable, seniors, this is what I am thinking."
"Everything I am doing is so that we can win, so that our current advantage won't be overturned."
"I hope Sir can accept my suggestion."
"No need."
At this time, the Venerable standing in the middle suddenly laughed and shook his head, "Your majesty Karkat, your considerations are indeed correct, but you have overlooked one point."
"I … what did I overlook?"
Karkat didn't understand.
"What you said is all in the future. If it really turns out to be like that, it will take at least a year.
However, the remnants of the Sacred Universe country, they won't be able to hold out for a year. "
The Venerable laughed and shook his head, "This time, our attack will defeat them."
"What if they manage to defend?"
"Then continue to attack, attack until they can't defend anymore."
"But what if they manage to defend?"
Seeing Karkat continuously refuting him, the Venerable standing in the middle squinted his eyes and looked at him.
Karkat, who was standing in the hall, felt his heart turn cold, and immediately heard the Venerable speak.
"They won't be able to defend."
