Chapter 654: Chapter 82 The war is imminent, both sides are…
“`
“What do you expect to do, how should I know what to do?
All of you are the Dragon Clan’s pillars of state, don’t you have your own opinions and brains?
Must you ask , a re young dragon?”
Fortunately, the Ancestral Azure Dragon also noticed sothing was amiss and quickly coughed to interject.
“Normally, you would ask Long Long in private, whether for an examination or for advice, and that would be perfectly fine.
But now, at the formal gathering of the Dragon Clan to decide on matters of war, how can it be that a room full of seniors and wise mbers do not inquire amongst themselves but rather turn to a junior for answers?”
Qin Beiwang also realized his slip of the tongue (mainly because he had asked too casually) and quickly changed his tune, saying:
“Just casually sharing thoughts is all, even if the opinions are unsophisticated, no one will laugh at you.”
“Cough, as for matters of war, I would not dare to speak rashly,” Long Long promptly declined.
...
Though he played the role of being persistent, after being tripped up a few tis, he’d finally learned to be a bit wiser.
Seeing that Long Long was unwilling to contribute his stratagems, Qin Beiwang seed slightly disappointed, but the Ancestral Azure Dragon was quite satisfied with his sense of the tis and spoke up:
“What about the others?
What are your thoughts?
Feel free to speak.”
Consequently, the clan elders began to speak up, each presenting his view.
Overall, those in favor of neutrality and watching the war, and those calling for participation, were divided in a rough ratio of three to seven…
most tended to agree with what Long Long had said, believing that the White Tiger Clan must have a powerful backing, possibly hiding a myriad of trump cards.
If the two major camps could engage in a drawn-out war, continuously bleeding each other, then maintaining a neutral stance would definitely be advantageous-but if the Qilin and White Tiger alliance could effortlessly conquer, claiming five cities today, ten tomorrow, and the day after reaching the Xuanwu Clan’s stronghold, Broken Spring City, it would be equivalent to sitting ducks waiting for the Qilin Clan’s retribution.
Better to join the Xuanwu Clan than wait for death.
After listening to the clan elders’ opinions, Qin Beiwang discussed for a short while with the Ancestral Azure Dragon, and then announced the Dragon Clan’s participation in the war.
Forming an alliance with the Vermilion Bird and Xuanwu, to oppose the Qilin and White Tiger coalition!
Long Long, listening from below, shook his head secretly.
The situation had been pushed to this extent; it was already looking quite bleak.
He had originally thought he could hold out for a better offer, negotiating between the Qilin and Xuanwu camps to get the best benefits.
However, in the end, the Qilin didn’t give two hoots about the Dragon Clan.
The Xuanwu side was indeed very active, but Qi Weihong seed to have a certain view of the Dragon Clan, which could also an serious trouble in the future.
The only reliable option was the Vermilion Bird.
If I were the Ancestral Azure Dragon, I would definitely seek out the Vermilion Bird imdiately and sign a deeply binding alliance with them to avoid the Xuanwu’s dominance within the ranks…
Tch, why do I need to think so much?
It’s giving a headache!
It’s all irrelevant to anyway, I’m going to make a run for it with the fox sooner or later.
As Long Long was pondering this, he saw Qin Beiwang signaling him to co to the back hall.
………
“Participate in the war?
You want to?” Long Long asked incredulously.
“To put it broadly, in tis of war, all mbers of the Dragon Clan have the duty to fight,” Qin Beiwang said seriously, “If you avoid battle, it will severely affect your reputation within the clan, and the clan mbers will have grievances against you.”
“On a smaller scale, if you can achieve rits in this war, it will be greatly beneficial for you in gaining prestige later on, and even in aspiring to more important positions within the clan.”
Long Long finally ca to a realization, seemingly understanding the truth of the situation.
The demon race’s noble families of the Eastern Emperor Realm are completely different from the cultivation sects of the Mortal Realm.
If the latter is, in most cases, just a loose cultivation sect, then the forr is a unified entity that encompasses politics, military, and economy, with a managent system many tis stricter than that of cultivation sects.
The Ziwei Master could, out of concern for Qiu Changtian’s safety, ask him to stay safe within Kunlun without fulfilling sect duties and enjoy top-notch resource support…
However, on the demon race’s side, that would be impossible, as there would definitely be protests from the lower-ranking clan mbers.
“`
Long Long had no choice but to agree with a positive attitude first, and then he covertly sought advice from Long Hu on what to do.
“Long Hu, Qin Zhou, and Qin Ye, all of you are assigned to the sa team, led personally by the Great Elder, to carry out military orders,” Qin Beiwang replied.
Oh, so it’s the gilded team.
Long Long imdiately understood.
Even in a war, the foot soldiers and the nobility are naturally treated differently.
On this team, with soone as talented and smart as Long Long, soone with a special background like Long Hu, and the two royal mbers Qin Zhou and Qin Ye, plus the team led by the Great Elder Qin Chaocang, who was the strongest of all, the possibility of casualties in war was minimized.
???G?.??
In that case, it seed rather comfortable…
Wait, why do I suddenly have a bad feeling?
It seems like every ti I think I’ve got a sure win for a trip, sothing unexpected always happens in the end…
With a lot on his mind, Long Long left the council hall and found Long Hu in her bedroom, grooming her fur, and told her about the upcoming battle.
“A fight?” Long Hu didn’t seem scared at all, and she revealed an extrely cute smile, “It’s okay, Long Long will protect , right?”
Long Long really wanted to say that fighting was not the sa as war, then he thought it was unnecessary to explain so much; after all, even if he found a way to make Long Hu understand what war was, it would only make her more frightened.
Better to let her spend the ti before the battle peacefully.
After cuddling with the fox for a while, Long Long also felt a little upset.
Qiu Changtian wanted to fight the Demon Cult, Wei Dongliu wanted to fight the Orthodox Sect.
He thought he could rest and relax in the Eastern Emperor Realm, but unexpectedly, he had to head to the battlefield again.
Why does there have to be a fight everywhere I go?
“Ah Jing, go to Wei Dongliu’s side,” Long Long ordered.
Although he still didn’t know how to deal with Jiang the Witch, whose aggressiveness was shocking, the tiline on Wei Dongliu’s side was already falling behind.
Unless he didn’t want the Hell Path fragnt of the Heaven-nding Stone, he’d eventually have to get to work.
[Location Four: Shiping Mountain, Tong Xuan Gate territory.]
[Identity: Wei Dongliu.]
[Mirror Flower Water Moon Template overlay, ti-space travel in progress.]
Wei Dongliu, who was ditating, opened his eyes and saw Jiang the Witch close to his face with her eyes closed, her delicate little nose twitching.
Was she about to kiss him?
Wei Dongliu was shocked.
Then he realized she seed to be slling sothing on him.
“What are you doing?” Wei Dongliu pushed her away indifferently.
“I’m slling the scent of the Demon Lord on my husband,” Jiang Lian said, covering her face in rapture, “It’s simply rich and sweet.”
Is sweet really the right word to use here?
Wei Dongliu felt sowhat headache.
“Wife, it’s ti to convene the Sect assembly,” he gently reminded Jiang Lian to get off him.
But what’s the deal with this witch?
Her weight is exceptionally light, almost like a cat.
“It’s because I’m thin,” Jiang Lian said with her hands on her hips, “Don’t believe ?
Why don’t you feel for yourself?”
Wei Dongliu: ………
You can read minds, can’t you?
