"Then you eat slowly, I'll go back and get busy first," Xuan Jie stood up and was about to leave. A Cai, who was eating non-stop next to him, quickly raised his head.
"Ajie, what can you do so late? Just sit there for a while before leaving."
Xuan Jie took out a handkerchief and handed it to her without sitting back down.
"No, just wipe your mouth first, and then you can take Little Al back after eating."
After saying that, he got out of his seat, turned around, and rushed in the direction of his final departure.
Today, it is not only the hustle and bustle in the Immortal Mansion, but also the city.
Lanterns and colorful decorations were put up everywhere to celebrate the victory. Residents gathered together to drink and chat, and the noise was endless.
Following the breath left along the way, Xuanjie came to the city wall.
The strong sunlight left no place to hide the mottled marks on the stone bricks. Torches for use at night were already prepared on the city wall, with cloth wrapped around them to light the fire when the time came.
Today, she is wearing a black and white robe. She frowns and stares ahead, her mood can be felt down.
"What's wrong? Are you sad for the sacrifice of the soldiers?" Xuan Jie came closer and asked her softly.
"All of them," she finally raised her head and looked at the sun. I wonder if it was too dazzling, and a line of tears slipped out of the corners of her eyes.
"My former partners were swallowed up by the flames of war. We rarely took the initiative to attack. This time it was also the Demon God of Dreams who took the initiative..."
She lowered her head and paused, looking like she was troubled about something.
After pondering for a long time, he finally turned to look at Xuan Jie and said, "When there is no way to avoid war, if it were you, would you choose to take the initiative to start a war?"
This question did not bother Xuan Jie, it was something he had thought about thousands of times back then.
"Yes, when concessions become meaningless, I will definitely go to war," this is the conclusion Xuanjie came to. If he could go back to the past, he would not only defend without attacking.
When war will come sooner or later, it is a wise choice to start the war in advance, otherwise you will have no advantage when others are ready.
This is what she finally considered. If there was no threat from Aatrox, she would not be so gloomy.
The Devil's Land is backed by extremely cold snow, and they use this as a base to advance in three places. The speed is so fast that people have to guard against it.
In more than a month, the territory of Devil's Land has more than tripled, so it's no wonder that they are so worried after all.
Although we won't be able to get here in a short time, there is nothing wrong with being prepared for a rainy day. Making early preparations will reduce many casualties.
After all, the current conflict is stuck on the issue of war or not to fight. If a war is launched, there will be endless casualties. But if there is no war... it will only delay the arrival of the war, and everyone will be like a man waiting to be slaughtered.
of lamb.
After all, she didn't speak for the rest of the time. She concentrated on making the final judgment.
Xuan Jie found a place to sit down. In his eyes, he had finally made a choice, and the outcome was already doomed from the moment she had this conflict.
Time is ticking by, and the world is changing along with it.
The dazzling sunlight turned into a soft glare, and finally dissipated completely as the stars took over the entire sky.
The houses of officials who were drunk at noon were knocked on the door one after another, emergency meetings were convened, and many people even came from Tianheng Mountain.
The scale has never been so large in the past, causing chaos among the people. Everyone did not dare to delay and hurried to the meeting hall to prepare.
Xuanjie did not go there because he had not yet decided whether to enter the dispute.
Xuanjie knew the purpose of this meeting. If Morax and Blood Crow Jones really recognized it, it would herald a huge change in the world situation.
The current situation is under the influence of the Devil's Land. We can only protect ourselves by accelerating development, otherwise we will be surrounded and trapped in the quagmire.
Therefore, when Dang Gui finally stood on the high platform and told the officials his plan, the place fell into silence for a while.
Some people even shook their heads, thinking they had heard wrongly because they were still drunk.
When the words were emphasized again, everyone realized that they had heard correctly, and the expressed intention was indeed to launch a war against the surrounding areas.
Xuanjie stood alone on the city wall and looked into the distance, his eyes following the moonlight to the terraces far away.
The wind rustled, causing the leaves to rustle, and a few dancing fireflies adorned the monotonous night sky, attracting Xuanjie's attention.
Along with the flying fireflies, the sight came to the city wall on the left.
There is a person standing there, and there is only one person who can come to him quietly.
"Didn't Little Al bother you? You actually still have time to go out for a walk."
A Cai didn't reply immediately. She stepped on the stone paved road and came closer, making only a slight sound of footsteps.
"Among the immortals who came from Tianheng Mountain, Aping is also among them."
The soft voice and the warm evening breeze brushed past his ears, Xuan Jie closed his eyes and nodded.
"You...were you just there to see who was coming? You should have listened to the next actions here."
The loneliness and dullness of the night made the two people who were preoccupied with their thoughts somewhat breathless.
One does not want war to come, but simply longs for peace.
The other one is that he has been away from a more cruel war, and he also doesn't want to see the scene of corpses everywhere, but... he has to take this step.
A Cai lowered his head and laid his hands on the mottled stone wall with a sad expression, a trace of contradiction flashed in his bright eyes.
"I can understand the reason for expanding in all directions after all, but Ajie...is this really the only way to go?"
The voice of doubt was particularly loud in the night, and even penetrated Xuanjie's heart through his body, causing him to fall into silence.
Maybe... this is the only way to go, and there is no choice until the troubled times have calmed down.
But Xuanjie didn't answer after all. Why didn't he hope there would be another way in his heart?
"Okay A Cai, let's not make any guesses here. These are the decisions of Morax and Gui Zhong... As friends, we only need to provide support."
The moon carries the stars in the sky, preventing the earth from being completely enveloped in darkness.
But even in eternal light, there will be times when it is blocked by objects, and then an unavoidable dark side will arise.
The war between demons and gods is like the dark cloud covering everyone's head. Only by breaking it can we enjoy the light again.
Those who pursue the light scattered from the dark clouds are destined to not be able to enjoy stability forever. Their path was wrong from the beginning.
After all, her thoughts were correct. She chose to start a war in advance to take back the surrounding areas and make long-term plans for the future.
Don't be greedy for peace that is inconsistent with the times, otherwise what you will end up with will not be peace, but ruins destroyed by countless butcher knives.
