Monsters Are Coming-Chapter 867 - 246: It’s Over, All Over

The more the enemy fights, the stronger they become, but the Spirit Breath Clan's forces diminish the more they fight.

Finally, with the sacrifice of three thrones, they fled back to their Hometown World, urgently shattering the space source point and closing the space channel.

Fortunately, the Dark forces did not pursue them, otherwise, one could imagine the Spirit Breath World being destroyed under the sweep of this terrifying force.

Therefore, a detailed investigation of the situation in the other world is the most critical part of the Spirit Breath Clan's war strategy.

They are unable to determine whether this incursion is merely a test or the start of an all-out war.

No one can answer this question, and the meeting falls into silence once more.

At this moment, the Fungus King, sitting in the third position, was the first to speak:

"In any case, this war is unavoidable. The most important thing now is to capture the area where the space channel is located, and then start the investigation. I suggest that the Bone King and I take responsibility for the war in the space channel area, while you form search teams to hunt down the small invading groups still looting throughout our world."

In response to this proposal, the other thrones nodded in agreement.

"Regarding the invasion of the Blue World, let's give it up for now. Withdraw all forces stationed at the space source point. There's no need to waste resources maintaining the space channel. Protecting our homeland is more important than external conquest," the Soul King suddenly suggested from the end of the table.

Hearing these words, the Bone King shook his head:

"I suggest keeping the space channel open. The future trajectory of this war is unpredictable, and maintaining the space channel gives our Spirit Breath Clan a retreat route. If our strength is insufficient to resist the invading forces, perhaps going to the Blue World may be the best choice."

Facing the rebuttal, the Soul King continued to explain:

"The power tier of the Blue World has not yet been clarified. If it reaches the point where resistance is futile and evacuation is necessary, rushing to the Blue World may not be the best option — it could become the graveyard of the Spirit Breath Clan. I stand by my viewpoint: close the space channel."

"I agree to keep the space channel open. The energy in the air of the Blue World is thin, so their power won't be strong. This could be an escape route," the Erosion King expressed his thoughts at this time.

"An escape route? Erosion King, since when have you become so cowardly? The Spirit Breath Clan has conquered countless worlds over tens of thousands of years, when have we ever needed a retreat?"

Facing the questioning, the appendages on the Erosion King's body slowly squirmed, and he spoke in a low tone:

"This isn't cowardice, but strategy. We still don't understand the background of the invaders. The initial contact with the main force already crushed the Blood Pool Army and even pushed the Blood King to the brink of death. What does this imply? Do they have even greater forces behind them? If the final battle is unfavorable, must we let the entire Spirit Breath Clan be buried with them?"

Finally, the Shadow King, who had remained silent, nodded in agreement:

"I think the Erosion King is right. This isn't retreat but preserving the fire. The Blue World is resource-poor but at least devoid of these damned invaders. If it truly comes to the worst step, we can at least evacuate with our core clansmen."

The Evil King, hearing these words, was greatly agitated:

"Evacuate? What are you talking about? Where is the honor of the Spirit Breath Clan? We have never retreated in war!"

"Honor doesn't fill the belly. If we cannot even ensure the survival of the race, what honor is there to speak of? Evil King, you are of the younger generation, so you haven't experienced despair." The Soul King stood up, his gaze sweeping the thrones present:

"Do you still remember the endless Darkness, the shadow of that war is eternally imprinted on my heart."

"It's not only us, the Spirit Breath Clan, who are the only invaders and plunderers. There are many Strong Clans in the outside world. Overemphasizing honor will only lead us to destruction. Leaving a way out is also for the future."

"I've experienced that era, so I understand better than you what true despair is... Therefore, I propose keeping the space channel open and stationing a part of our forces there." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

A fierce debate erupts among the Seven Great Thrones over whether to maintain the space channel connected to Earth.

The new thrones and the old thrones have fundamentally different viewpoints.

The old generation of thrones experienced despair and witnessed the twists and turns of the Spirit Breath Clan's growth.

In their eyes, as long as the fire of the Spirit Breath Clan is preserved, there is hope for the future.

The new generation of thrones has a completely different mindset; they grew up within the warfare and plundering system and rose to the throne through war.

Many warriors among them have not experienced the harshest times, facing mostly unstoppable wars.

For this generation, the glory of war is above all else.

This is also the mindset imprinted onto the next generation by the old generation of thrones while promoting the war growth system.

Yet, it has also become the obsession that shackles their thoughts.

"Let's vote then. With the Blood King absent, his vote will not participate in this resolution." Facing the stalemate in the decision, the Bone King spoke at this time.

The remaining thrones nodded in agreement, and from within the memory bags of the seven bodies, tendrils extended to press simultaneously on the red Crystal Stone in the center of the conference table.

The final decision was to maintain the space channel, giving the Spirit Breath Clan a potential retreat.

After the meeting, the Seven Great Thrones set their plans into motion.

Two Super Beast Legions led by Fungus King and Bone King headed towards the player descent location.

The other thrones divided the legion's forces and stationed them in different cities to protect them from being destroyed by the roaming invading small groups.

Additionally, hunter teams specifically aimed at small group players were swiftly formed.

These teams were led by War Sacrifices.
