Hu Shu knew very well that Human Race's next steps would be like walking on thin ice. He took a deep breath, stood up and walked towards the Human Race conference hall. When he opened the hall door, everyone's expectant and nervous eyes immediately came to him. Hu Shu slowly spoke, "Everyone, I have just confronted the lich and the Chan Sect messenger, and have completely settled with them. An unprecedented crisis is coming towards us Human Race." When everyone heard this, their faces instantly became extremely solemn.
In the meeting hall, the atmosphere was so oppressive that people could not breathe. The candlelight flickered, and the dim light cast mottled shadows on everyone's faces, reflecting their frowns and worried expressions. Hu Shu's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart hard.
After a moment of silence, a gray-haired old man stood up slowly, his eyes revealing deep concern. "Clan Leader, now the lich and Chan Sect are powerful, and we Human Race may be in trouble if we contend with them. Why not... let's sue for peace, maybe we can get some peace for a while."
As soon as this statement came out, it immediately caused a commotion. Some people nodded in agreement, thinking that Human Race had great disparity in strength, and seeking peace was the best choice at the moment to avoid the loss of life; but some people firmly opposed it, and a young and energetic The Human Race warrior suddenly stood up, holding the hilt of the sword in his hand, and said loudly, "Seek peace? We Human Race finally got to the situation we are in now, how can we be so cowardly? We have Invincible Domain, are we still afraid of them?"
Hu Shu looked at the crowd quietly, with mixed feelings in his heart. He understood the concerns of those seeking peace. Human Race was already weak among Primordial World. If he had a head-on conflict with these powerful forces, he would pay a heavy price. However, the heroism and ambition of those who were leading the battle also made him admire him. If Human Race retreated blindly, when would it truly rise?
At this moment, there was a sudden rush of footsteps outside the door. Immediately afterwards, a spy hurried into the meeting hall, knelt on one knee, and said breathlessly, "Report... report Clan Leader, the lich and Chan Sect have begun to mobilize their troops and are quickly gathering towards us. It seems that they are going to surround us!"
This news was like dropping a bombshell into the already tense atmosphere. Everyone's faces instantly became uglier. Some showed fear, while others clenched their fists, with determination shining in their eyes.
Hu Shu's brows furrowed even tighter. He knew in his heart that there was not much time left for Human Race and a decision must be made as soon as possible. Suing for peace seemed to be able to temporarily alleviate the crisis, but the Lich and Chan Sect were so ambitious that suing for peace might just quench their thirst. They might attack again at any time. Difficult, Human Race will always live in their shadow; as for the main battle, although Human Race has Invincible Domain to rely on, the enemy is strong, and this war will be extremely tragic. It is still unknown whether Human Race can withstand the huge casualties.
"Everyone, be quiet!" Hu Shu said loudly, and everyone's discussion stopped abruptly. "It is not easy for us Human Race to get to where we are today. Every step is full of hardships and challenges, but we never give up. Now, facing this unprecedented crisis, we must think calmly and make the right choice."
A middle-aged man stood up, raised his hands and said, "Clan Leader, I think it is not impossible to seek peace. We can put forward some conditions, such as ceding some land or providing some resources, in exchange for temporary peace. This way we can also have time to recuperate and improve our strength."
"Hmph!" Another young Human Race general snorted, "Certain land for compensation? Then where is the dignity of us Human Race? What does our hard work over the years count? We should rely on Invincible Domain to fight them to the death and let them know that we Human Race are not easy to bully!"
Both sides insisted on their own opinions and refused to give in to each other, and arguments broke out in the conference hall. Hu Shu looked at this scene, and his heart became more and more entangled. His eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, trying to find a glimmer of inspiration in their eyes, a way to lead Human Race out of the predicament.
Suddenly, Hu Shu thought of their previous cooperation with Mysterious Minor Faction. Maybe, they can provide some help in this crisis? But how strong is Mysterious Minor Faction? Are they willing to do it again? Taking the risk of fighting side by side with Human Race is still unknown. Moreover, even with their support, facing the joint attack of the Lich and Chan Sect, Human Race still has little chance of winning.
Hu Shu is constantly weighing the pros and cons in his mind, and every choice is accompanied by huge risks. He knows that his decision will be related to the life and death of Human Race.
Time passed quietly in the tense atmosphere, and everyone was waiting for Hu Shu's decision. Hu Shu slowly raised his head, looked at everyone with firm eyes, and was about to speak...
