This wasn't pressure.
After all, Luo Tianshen was originally the Luo God Clan's clan leader.
Whether to rescue them, retreat, fight, or give them up—
It was all up to him.
No one could pressure him.
So rather than pressure, this was better described as the most basic reporting procedure. There would be none of those situations often seen in novels or television dramas, where a general executed a messenger or scout on the spot to steady the troops.
There were two main reasons this reporting procedure existed.
The first was that this messenger was originally a member of the Luo God Clan. The Blood God Clan was their sworn enemy, so he could not possibly say anything that would shake morale—unless something was wrong with his head. But if there really were something wrong with his head, he would never have become a messenger entrusted with delivering letters.
The second reason was that the elders seated in the hall, including the Fourth Elder and another elder lying on the ground pretending to be unconscious, were all Supremes of the Luo God Clan. They were all on the Blood God Clan's kill list. Though these elders each held different opinions, they remained united on the most fundamental issue of allegiance. No words capable of shaking morale could affect them.
Therefore, considering those two reasons—
The messenger still explained the facts.
Otherwise, he would also have needed to explain which defensive line he had come from.
The Luo God Clan had many defensive lines.
