Faced with Rocky's question, Athena didn't say anything and nodded directly......

This move undoubtedly made Rocky's face change drastically! And after staring at Athena with an ugly face for a while, he turned to the others: "You all go down." ”

After saying this, Monte and the others just look at me and I look at you, and they couldn't ask more, so they all withdrew from the city lord's hall after giving a salute.

When these people left, only Rocky, Lilia, and Athena were left in the hall, and then Rocky asked, "Athena, do you mean that the Alliance is going to do something to me?"

"Nope. ”

Shaking her head, Athena said that she didn't mean that, this statement obviously made Rocky confused, but it didn't last long, because soon Athena explained to him: "My lord, based on the current situation alone, I can't tell whether the alliance has stood on the opposite side of us, but one thing is certain, that is, the alliance must know something." ”

"Know...... What?"

"The Alliance may or may not have been involved in the plan against the adults, but whatever the outcome, the Elders of the Alliance must have known something that we didn't know, so they took the opportunity to make trouble, I'm sure of that. ”

"...... like this"

Such words made Rocky frown involuntarily, although Athena still didn't give him the answer he wanted, but even so, his current situation is bad enough, because it can be seen from the alliance's actions that the current alliance is no longer Rocky's biggest backer, and has even begun to rob when he is in trouble.

This result may not be the worst, but it is already bad.

After frowning and thinking for a moment, Rocky looked at Athena again, "What do you think we should do now?"

As if waiting for Rocky to ask a question, he blurted out as soon as he finished asking Athena: "My lord, we have two choices now." ”

"First, it is to meet the requirements of the Alliance, whether it is a mobile castle, a magic machine gun, or a Thunder Eagle Warframe, we only need to share any of them with the Alliance, and we can get enough contribution points, so that not only Heavenly Ancestor City will not be a problem, but our relationship with the Alliance will also be eased to a certain extent. ”

"If the adults don't want to do this, we only have one way to go, and that is to deal with the threat of Heavenly Ancestor City alone. ”

Looking at Rocky, Athena said slowly.

These are the only two paths Lodge has now, either succumb to the alliance and hand over what the alliance wants, or take the threat alone, and have no choice between the two, there is no compromise.

It stands to reason that this choice is not difficult, because there are only two options, and the pros and cons are well weighed, and perhaps because of this, Athena did not explain the two options in detail at all.

But in the face of such two simple choices, Rocky fell into hesitation, he frowned and thought for a long time, and then looked at Athena: "You go and tell everyone, everything is going according to the previous arrangement, if the alliance doesn't help, we will face Tianzu City alone!"

Surprisingly, of the two options with such obvious pros and cons, Rocky chose the latter!

It's just that when he finished saying this, a smile appeared on Athena's face, and she turned around and left with a crisp promise.

It wasn't until her figure disappeared into the city lord's hall that Lilia came to Rocky's side and glanced at him with a little puzzlement:

"Rocky, what are you going to do...... Break with the Alliance?"

The choice just now seemed easy, but in fact, this seemingly simple choice represented Rocky's attitude, and from the final result, it can be seen that his attitude is very clear, that is, he does not plan to pray for the alliance!

This seemed somewhat surprising to Lilia, so she asked what Rocky meant.

In the face of Lilia, Rocky naturally wouldn't hide anything, so after sighing, he said slowly: "I don't want to break with the Alliance, I just don't want to be controlled by the Alliance." ”

"Athena is right just now, as long as I donate the technology in my hand, even if I only donate one alliance, it will help me, but once I do this, it will be equivalent to being kidnapped by the alliance, and the alliance will use all kinds of means to take away everything I have in the future, I can't let this happen. ”

Looking at Lilia, Rocky looked tired.

The two choices that Athena gives him seem to be only about the present, but in fact they represent the future.

This time facing Tianzu City, Rocky needs to contribute one of his own things to the alliance in exchange for protection, but what about next time?

What will he do next time if there is an Earth Ancestral City?

Is it still the same thing as this time to contribute the same thing in exchange for the protection of the Alliance, if this is the case, then in the long run, everything in Rocky's hands will not be taken away by the Alliance?

This is not what Rocky wants to see.

"Okay, as long as you think clearly, I'll go first. ”

Hearing his words, Lilia nodded, after all, no matter what choice Rocky made, she would always support her, and then turned around and left the City Lord's Hall.

Her departure surprised Rocky a little, but before he could say anything to stay, Athena returned, and looking at Athena's reappeared figure, Rocky opened his mouth, and finally sighed inwardly, the woman ......

"You already know what the Alliance is up to, right?"

Putting aside the inner sigh for the woman, when Athena came closer, Rocky asked.

Now that I think about it, Athena seems to be talking about what is in front of her all the time, but if you think about everything she says, you will find that almost every sentence means something else, especially the two choices she gave at the end.

So when she reappeared, Rocky couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, it's not hard to guess what the elders are thinking. ”

Faced with this question, Athena nodded noncommittally, indicating that she had indeed guessed the alliance's mind a long time ago.

This is actually the reason why Athena was stunned when Lilia brought back the news of Xiaotian's troops, because it was obviously very different from the result she expected, but Athena was Athena after all, and things finally developed into the orbit she expected.

"Ha ......"

Such an answer made Rocky laugh helplessly, and then leaned on the city lord's seat and looked at Athena: "Then do you think my choice is correct?"

"Your Excellency, that's right. ”

"Oh, I'm going to break with the Alliance, right?"

"It's better to break up. ”

"Why?"

"Because once there is a break, the adult is no longer a pawn, but a chess player. ”

Glancing at Rocky as she spoke, Athena smiled faintly.
