"What’s all the bickering about? I asked for all of you to come over to discuss, not to quarrel!"
After listening for a while, the First Fortress Master reprimanded, his tone impatient. He did not expect there would be two opinions over this matter-one of them did not favor helping the outsiders, while another was in favor of helping those outsiders.
Silence immediately took over the meeting room when the crowd saw that the First Fortress Master was furious.
After a few seconds of silence, the master of the Lavigne Fortress expressed his thoughts to the First Fortress Master, "First Fortress Master, I truly think that we have held back for too long, and our current overall strength and power is not any weaker than theirs. If we help those people, they will certainly be on our side! Then, perhaps, it would become a chance for us to grow out of our current position. By that time, don't you think the Bloodshed Clan will have to pay us some respect?"
"Fortress master Lavigne, you have a point!"
One of the elders who was working under the First Fortress Master nodded in agreement. "Those outsiders, they must be feeling very lost and don't know what to do now, therefore, if we could lend them our hand at this critical moment, they will certainly be grateful to us and be our use in the future. Besides, if we really have to fight with the Bloodshed Clan, it's still uncertain which side will win!"
Indeed they have many people with them, but after wandering in the forest for some time, they must have lost a lot of men by now, right? The most important thing is that these outsiders are made up of different clans and families, so they may not be on the same page. Moreover, their martial level is still at the baby stage-some of them are in the true god level, and some of them are even lower than that, only being in the semi-god level. So, I think they would not be of much use to us. Also, don't forget, the Bloodshed Clan has more elite fighters of the ultimate god-level than we have!”
The middle-aged man from before was insistent, not wanting to help Fane and his group.
"Both sides have valid points!"
At this moment, the First Fortress Master smiled bitterly before saying, “It’s true that their number of people is too many, and even people of the sea territory have come in. Helping them would definitely be somewhat beneficial to our future development, well, at least it can show our loyalty in the eyes of the Anti-Alliance Guard. Why don't we do it this way; we send someone to report this matter to the Pavilion of Billow Cloud immediately.
They're the nearest Anti-Alliance Guard to us! Let them send people over to support us quickly!"
"But...But, First Fortress Master, I heard that the Master of the Bloodshed Clan is already halfway into the second-grade soul -penetrating level! And I'm afraid that you are no match for him, and if you couldn't hold him up until the aid—the Pavilion of Billow Cloud—arrives, you could be killed by him! And this would certainly break our hearts and affect our fighting spirits, then we would suffer great loss!"
A wise old man expressed his concerns after thinking about it.
Austin—the First Fortress Master—paused for a moment, his face sank to the deepest, emitting gloomy aura.
However, after a brief moment of silence, he asked Ella, "Right, Ella, you mentioned that you've met a person called Fane, right? He is particularly gifted and has saved your life?"
