The Soul System in the Apocalypse-Chapter 556: Revenge (3)
Chapter 556: Revenge (3)
Inside a hall, seated on the throne, was an old man with white hair. At this moment, he was frowning, while looking at the group in front of him. It was a group of three people, and each and every one of them seemed to be in their mid forties.
"Your majesty, we have already tried it before, and we have realized that the continents that are being occupied by the land creatures have already been conquered by a single race. It is at times like these that we are supposed to be taking action against them." A middle-aged man with green hair stated as he looked at the old man on the throne.
This man seemed to be extremely respectful towards the old man. It was not only due to the fact that the old man was the current king of the sea race in the southern domain, but it was also due to the fact that the old man was the strongest figure within the southern domain.
No matter which one it was, they definitely had to respect him. That was the reason why he was maintaining a humble tone when speaking to the old man.
"That’s right your majesty. If we continue giving them time, we are sure that they would be able to stabilize themselves, something that is going to make it difficult for us to be able to deal with them. Although we don’t doubt that we are stronger than them, it is better for us to be able to deal with them at a minimal loss." A middle aged lady with long purple hair that reached her lower back nodded as she spoke.
The old man did not respond at all, but instead, he looked towards the bald-headed man that had not spoken. But the other party did not speak at all, and continued maintaining his silence.
Currently, these three people could be considered as the strongest people within the southern domain other than the king himself. And so, no matter what, the king had to consider them when making decisions. But of course, at some points, he would make decisions without caring about their opinions.
And currently, he was completely against dealing with the land creatures at the moment. He felt like there was something that was completely unusual about the land creatures, and that was the reason why he was extremely cautious. It was just that this group of people did not know about it, and they completely continued urging him to attack them.
Of course, he already understood that these people had send their own troops towards the land, to probe the power of the land creatures. In the end, they did not receive any information, considering that everyone that they had sent had been killed.
This was something that made them extremely angry, considering that several divine rank experts had been within the group that they had sent. But even then, they had also been killed. That was the reason why they had been trying to pressurize the king, so that he could issue an edict that they could attack the land creatures. This was just a method that they were utilizing in order to be able to take revenge.
"Sigh! I do understand the concerns that you have. But even then, you have to understand that something like attacking the land creatures is not something that we can just decide abruptly. We have to consider the other domains, considering that the moment that we attack, the other domains will have to begin attacking as well." The old man stated in a low tone.
"Your majesty, we understand that this matter concerns the entirety of the sea race. But even then, the moment that we attack, we will be taking the initiative, denying the land creatures the chance of counter attacking.
Since we would have attacked without giving them any form of warning, they would definitely be caught completely off-guard. And for that reason, it will be easy for us to be able to conquer them. We can complete the issue of conquering this world sooner, so that we can go back with the rewards that we were promised before." The green haired middle-aged man responded.
The king remained silent for a moment. He was contemplating something when suddenly, the bald-headed man who had been silent all this while suddenly decided to speak.
"Your majesty, it seems that these people do not understand what it is that you are thinking." The bald-headed man stated as he looked at the two people with contempt clear in his eyes.
The moment that he said those words, the other two were obviously furious at him. But even then, they did not say anything, considering that they were in the presence of the king, and any form of disrespect would definitely be punished.
Without waiting for them to say anything, the bald-headed man continued. "You have to understand that the apocalypse had entered into the final stage earlier than expected. And for that reason, we were able to come here fully without having much restrictions on us.
The same could be said about those land creatures. Completely different from the sea race that is united, the land creatures are not at all. They will fight against each other, thinking that they would be able to dominate the world after dealing with the other races.
But of course, that is always the mistake that they make each and every time. They always forget about the fact that the sea race is the strongest."
"What are you trying to imply? Why don’t you just get straight to the point?" The green haired man stated irritatedly.
The bald-headed man on the other hand simply smiled before he continued. "You have to understand that it is definitely impossible for the races on land to be able to deal with each other at such an incredible speed of just about 2 months.
This implies that since there is a certain race that has already dominated the land, it implies that they are extremely strong in such a way that they were capable of eliminating the other races in such a short time.
As for the matter of them collaborating with each other, that is almost impossible, considering that each and every land creature is always looking for their own benefits.
So, they would definitely not agree to band with each other, considering that they would have to select a single race to be on top, while the others would have to be its vassals. And since each and every one of them wants the rewards, they would want to be the leading race. So, this is going to cause internal strife in the collaboration between them, making them fight against each other anyway. frёeωebɳovel.com
But now, we are sure that the land creatures have managed to finally have a supreme ruler over them. Although we cannot tell which race it is that is currently ruling, but we can still tell that there is a single race that is dominant over the others.
Although the other reasons have not been eliminated, but even then, we can tell that they are definitely under the other dominant race. For them to be able to dominate the land that fast, it implies that they definitely possess something that might be dangerous for us.
So, we will have to make enough preparations before we start attacking them. Otherwise, if we hastily attack, we are definitely going to end up suffering huge losses, which is definitely not something that we would like to experience.
Additionally, to prove that what I have said is actually true, we can confirm with the group that you sent to the land. As you can see, none of them has returned until today. We can confirm that they have already died, considering that it is impossible for them to continue remaining on land for such a long time."
The bald-headed man gave a long explanation, but even then, everybody understood clearly what he was implying. The king could not help but feel relieved. After all, having a subordinate that was understanding was definitely something that he wished for.
And now, there was a smart person here. With him here, it was definitely going to be easy for him to lead the sea race, considering that during the time that he would not be around, this person would be making the right decisions.
"I think all of you have heard what he has just said. That is the exact reason why I am not allowing you to suddenly attack them. In fact, the previous attack that you launched was definitely not supposed to happen. By now, you have definitely provoked those land creatures, and so, even if we don’t take action, I do believe that they will take action instead." The king stated as he looked at the two people, the middle-aged man and the purple haired woman.
At this moment, the two of them could not help but get a little excited. But of course, they did not try to show it on their faces. The reason behind that was simply because they were thinking that if the land creatures actually attacked the sea, then that would make it easier for them to be able to take revenge.
Currently, it was clear that it was impossible for them to be able to go on land and attack them. And for that reason, they could only wait for the king to give the order for them to attack the moment that the land creatures came to attack them.
The king was just about to say something when suddenly, he frowned. Then, he looked upwards, and in the end, he sighed.
A few moments after the three people in front of the king were confused about what was wrong to make the king sigh, they also detected the abnormality, and their expression suddenly shifted.
"Your majesty, give your command and I will go out there and slay those creatures that are trying to invade our domain." The green haired man stated as he gave the king a bow.
