Hearing this, the High Priests of the various Divine Kingdoms did not give an immediate answer.
Instead, they frowned and began to ponder.
It was not that they feared bringing their armies to the city gates would provoke a great war.
Rather, they worried whether doing so would endanger the safety of their children.
The Sun God Kingdom High Priest was in no hurry either, quietly waiting for everyone to think it over.
"High Priest Silas, if we act too aggressively, could it backfire and endanger our children?"
After a long silence, a High Priest finally spoke up to question the Sun God Kingdom High Priest.

"Therefore, I personally favor continuing forward with the army and making the beastfolk feel enough pressure!"
The Sun God Kingdom High Priest shook his head and voiced his thoughts.
"Then let us continue onward with the army. We must make the Beastfolk Empire feel the pressure!"
