196: Choice

The crowd looked at each other, none daring to speak easily.

War between empires was no joke.

A slight misstep could drag one into the vortex.

Such wars, which could affect the fate of a country at any moment, were not something a group of Nine Revolutions experts could decide.

"What do you all say?"

"What are everyone's thoughts?"

"What do you think we should do now?"

Looking at the people beside him, Meteor Emperor spoke softly.

As soon as he said this, everyone lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

"What's wrong?"

"Afraid to speak?"

"Or afraid to take responsibility?"

"It's okay, only by pooling our ideas can we find the true solution."

"To help or not to help, at least give some effective opinions; you can't let me decide alone, can you?"

Looking at the group of people in front of him, Meteor Emperor took a deep breath and said softly.

"Your Majesty, this matter is not related to us. We think it's better to forget about it."

"That's right, when the Country Lord of Flame Empire guarded the camp entrance, he spoke harshly to us. This is all their own doing."

"Our opinion is to ignore them and let Flame Empire fend for itself. Even if it is destroyed, it has nothing to do with us."

"Even if other countries want to annex Flame Empire, it's not an easy task."

Those Nine Revolutions experts hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and spoke softly.

The two countries were originally enemies, so they naturally did not want their own country's national strength to be damaged because of Flame Empire.

"Think about it, why was Flame Empire invaded by the other two great empires?"

"Besides the reason of destiny, are there any other reasons?"

"If there are other reasons, then this matter is worth investigating deeply."

Hearing this, Meteor Emperor looked at the people beside him and said softly.

"What other reasons could there be?"

"Besides destiny, Flame Empire doesn't have anything too valuable."

"Exactly, they can't be after the Heart of Lava, that thing can only be used by people from Flame Empire."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but shake their heads and then spoke.

"Wait, I suddenly thought of something."

Just then, an old man suddenly stood up, a solemn expression flashing in his eyes.

"Old Man Zhao, what did you think of?"

Everyone looked at Old Man Zhao in front of them, asking with some surprise in their eyes.

"Spiritual Energy War Car, have you ever thought that the other empires are after the Spiritual Energy War Car?"

"This thing is the inheritance of the Heavenly Craftsmen clan of Flame Empire. Besides Flame Empire, no other empire has such a thing as a Spiritual Energy War Car."

"If the other two great empires are not just after national destiny, it is very likely that they launched the National War for the Spiritual Energy War Car."

"Don't forget, the second phase of the National War of Destiny is a siege defense war, and the Spiritual Energy War Car is definitely a strategic weapon-level existence in siege warfare."

Looking at the crowd in front of him, Old Man Zhao spoke softly.

The Spiritual Energy War Car, a unique product of Flame Empire, was a creation of the Heavenly Craftsmen lineage, an ancient remnant clan of Flame Empire.

This item could continuously compress energy and unleash destructive energy waves. This thing was definitely a good treasure for conquering cities and territories.

If this thing were to appear on the National War Battlefield, it could very likely overturn the battle situation.

"Spiritual Energy War Car?"

"That's right, how could I not have thought of that?"

"These two great empires must be after the Spiritual Energy War Car. If not for the Spiritual Energy War Car, there would be no need for them to turn hostile now."

Hearing this, everyone immediately nodded, suddenly enlightened.

"Everyone present knows how terrifying the Spiritual Energy War Car is. We were once harassed by this Spiritual Energy War Car. If these things fall into the hands of the other two great empires, we might be at a disadvantage in the siege defense war."

Sun Shan stepped out from the crowd, nodded lightly, and spoke.

"In that case, then we must go out and help."

"If we don't help, Flame Empire will definitely be directly annihilated. It's impossible for it to withstand the combined forces of so many countries."

Looking at the people in front of him, Meteor Emperor took a deep breath, his expression unusually grave.

"But even if we make a move, it may not be able to reverse the decline."

"Even if two great empires are tied together, they may not be their opponents."

Jiangnan frowned tightly, a hint of solemnity in his eyes.

This current dead end was simply unsolvable. Going out might not be able to save everyone, and it might even cause losses to their side.

"I do have an immature suggestion. Although we can't save everyone, we can save a portion of them."

"Our goal is the Spiritual Energy War Car. Since it's the Spiritual Energy War Car, then we just go for the Spiritual Energy War Car."

"We can give the Country Lord of Flame Empire a final choice: to choose to preserve his bloodline inheritance, or to fight to the bitter end."

Luo Jiuzhou hesitated for a moment, then said.

Although this method of transaction was a bit inappropriate, it was the limit of what they could do.

They couldn't possibly put their own empire at stake, could they?

"This method is feasible. We can take in the people of Flame Empire as citizens of our empire, then shelter them, and help them revive their homeland in the future."

"I believe the Country Lord of Flame Empire will agree."

Sun Shan nodded, thinking seriously.

"So, that's what we'll do?"

"Are we sending troops to support them now?"

Looking at the people beside him, Meteor Emperor asked softly.

"Not yet, we still have to wait for a while. We must wait until Flame Empire falls into a life-and-death crisis before we lend a hand. Only then will the other side feel that we are providing timely help."

Luo Jiuzhou shook his head and said decisively.

From beginning to end, he was a sophisticated egoist; otherwise, he wouldn't have left Meteor Empire to establish his own Element Academy.

"Then it's decided. We'll enter the secret realm first. If we don't come out, you can make your own decisions. When the time is ripe, act immediately."

"If we come out, then we'll act together. You, the trusted people, try to gather as much information as possible about Flame Empire."

Looking at the leader of his hidden guards, Meteor Emperor quickly said.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The man nodded and turned to leave the tent.

"Entering the secret realm now?"

The two looked at Su Bai in front of them and asked softly.

"Need to wait a bit, I still have something to resolve. You two go to the Soul Suppressing Village secret realm and wait for me first."

Hearing this, Su Bai quickly said.
