55 Formal decision
When you are in the deep and dark underwater world, you can clearly feel the chill and pressure coming.
However, this did not make any difference to Lilith.
Leaning against the bottom of a heavy blue stone pillar, her figure was calm, her expression calm, as if she was on the surface.
And despite her distinct dress and appearance from the creatures around her, it didn't attract any hostile glances.
Or, despite the fact that there were many terrifying sea tribes in all directions, and even an ugly octopus with black eyes on its head floating not far above her head, they were completely oblivious to Lilith's presence, as if they hadn't seen it.
Therefore, this meeting, which was supposed to be "top secret", was so clearly exposed in front of a humanoid woman who did not belong here.
"Quiet!"
The white platform floating in the abyss of the ocean was a noisy mess, but it stopped with a low roar.
Then he heard the roaring voice speak again.
"Gaske led his clan to land without permission and needs to be punished, that's for sure."
The voice is a whisper of the heart, not heard by the ear, but from the depths of the heart.
But aside from this particular approach, it's really just a language, a sea language that sounds rough and awkward, like a storm whistling by.
This language is obviously incomprehensible to normal people, but Lilith is not a normal person.
"But we can't forget that Gaske is also one of us. Whatever he has done before, humanity will eventually count what he has done to all of us. ”
……
"We should punish Gasco, but we should be prepared for war. There has been a catastrophe in the kingdom of men, they have no heart to negotiate with us, and we are running out of time. ”
……
"So what is there to hesitate about?"
……
The massive sea dragon, covered in leather-like scales and hideous barbs, spoke in a coherent manner, and its prestige seemed high, and as the voice continued, the divisions between the place were gradually erased.
Or rather, when they stopped negotiating with humans, they were already prepared for something.
Now that I heard that those who landed without permission would be punished, there was no disagreement.
"I hate war, but now it seems that if you want to embrace peace, you have to start it."
A mermaid king with blond hair and blue eyes, a human-like upper body and a fishtail on the lower body followed suit.
"So I'm going to lead the Butler merfolk tribe into this battle until we reach the other side and live a peaceful life again."
The mermaid king, who was originally against the war, has now changed his position.
At the same time, he was not alone in changing his position.
"I don't want to admit it, but war is the best way to deal with the situation."
A fish-man leader covered in blue and with fins on his face then spoke, "Since it can't be avoided, then I will also lead my clan to join in." ”
"We're on board."
Another sea dragon whispered on the white platform, then glanced slightly sideways at the many figures floating outside the platform.
"For the future of my people."
……
"I still don't agree with starting this war, but I'm even more reluctant to be left alone, so I'm joining."
……
"And me."
……
……
As the leaders of the Sea Clan expressed their positions, the scales finally tilted to the side of the main battle.
Time is constantly passing, and there are fewer and fewer peace talks that are still hesitating, and they are no longer on a large scale.
Lilith, who was watching from the corner, turned up the corners of her mouth.
War creates chaos, and chaos, while a catastrophe for most of humanity, is a feast for her.
"This will allow me to quickly regain my strength, and finally open the treasure within me and regain the throne of pain."
With that in mind, she detached her gaze from the platform at the core, and instead looked at a certain Sea Clan figure floating overhead.
The situation that has naturally developed is already at this level, and there is no need for her to come in and make trouble again.
Therefore, she did not appear here this time to create trouble, but planned to take advantage of the rare opportunity of the sea tribe leaders to gather to find an old turtle.
Or rather, a unique map to find the collection of old sea turtles.
In fact, Lilith had already found her target, which was floating above her head, and was now tilting her head and talking quietly to a black octopus.
"I have a great human friend, so I really don't want to go to war with humans."
The octopus raised its tentacle and scratched its head as he spoke, "But if I stand up at this time and say I won't join, I might be torn into six by them." ”
"Maybe five, maybe seven."
The old turtle next to the octopus replied slowly: "Or simply swallow it in one bite and eventually become a serving." ”
"The biggest is probably six, because I only have six tentacles."
"Six tentacles don't mean they'll be torn into six."
"I have a hunch that I'm going to be torn into six, because six is my bad luck number."
“……”
"It doesn't matter how many copies it is, you obviously know what the consequences are."
The old turtle turned to say, "So the best option is to say nothing and follow everyone." ”
"That's exactly the problem."
Octopus grumbled, "I've already figured out a way out because I have a great human friend, but now I don't have a choice." ”
"Why didn't you choose." The old turtle secretly rubbed his hands on the octopus, "Believe me, when this war starts, there are many chances to sneak away." ”
"It seems a bit shameless."
"How?"
"If I make it clear that I won't join, then I'm not a betrayer, but if I join and sneak away halfway through, then it's ......"
The conversation between the two Sea Clans, which should have been secretive, was clearly heard in Lilith's ears at this time, and they were unaware of it.
However, despite her ultra-weak presence, Lilith did not act in a hurry.
At this moment, there are some of the most elite forces of the Sea Clan, and it is inevitable that they will be besieged if there is a slight abnormality.
She wasn't sure if the turtle had hidden the map on her.
So the most appropriate opportunity is after this meeting.
It looked like it would be a long time before this opportunity was taken, as the unified Sea Clan leaders on the platform immediately began to discuss trivial matters such as how to invade and where to invade.
Lilith wasn't in a hurry, because she could afford to wait.
At this time, she had only crawled out of the sealed place not long ago, and there were others who had taken the blame for her, and the last thing she lacked was time.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile on her face.
Before she arrived, she had already learned about the events of the Pharos King from some source, and the rumors that the Demon King of Pain was sealed were quite interesting to her.
Although I don't know exactly what is behind me, no matter what it is, this situation is very beneficial to me.
"I don't know which archangel did it." She thought sarcastically, "I can't even tell if the enemy is real or fake, but it's really stupid and excessive." ”
……
At the same time, while Lilith was laughing at a certain archangel, two archangels were quietly present in the ruins of the royal capital of Pharos.
