Chapter 107: Each Has His Own Mind and Choice (3200)
As for why it has always been easy to kneel, easy to kneel, and the Chen family, who can only complete the great cause of dragon slaying by preserving their strength, must be brave enough to go to a mysterious organization with a half-blood monarch with dragon king-level combat power as the leader, which has to mention the Candle Dragon Project.
The Candle Dragon Project is taken from the description of the Classic of Mountains and Seas - beyond the Northwest Sea, north of Chishui, there is Zhangwei Mountain. There is a god, the human face is red and the body of the snake is red, the eyes are straight, the eyes are obscure, the sight is clear, the food does not sleep, the wind and rain are the confession. It's the candle nine yin, it's the candle dragon.
In this world, all myths and legends can be traced back to the dragons, and the candle dragon is no exception.
Named after the legendary creator god Candle Dragon with a human face and a snake body, the Candle Dragon's plan is to create a half-blood king who is capable of harnessing the power of the dragon king with a human body, and the Chen family's target dragon king is named - Black King Nidhogg.
As the largest and strongest half-breed family existing in this land, the Chen family's bloodline has spread for thousands of years, prospering, glorious, and declining.
There have been times when the scenery is infinite, and there have been times when things have been done in a low-key manner, but no matter when, they have supernatural powers, and they are nailed to this land.
Thousands of years ago, there were originally twenty half-breed families similar to them, but now, the dead, the extinct, and the scattered, the half-breed families that can completely preserve the lineage, cultivate the system, and even have the ability to carry out the candle dragon plan are the only ones left.
And now, just when the preliminary preparations for the Candle Dragon Project have been completed and everything is progressing steadily, the Chen family is facing a challenge that they have never seen before.
A nascent organization actually wants the Chen family to choose to surrender or get out of this land?
Although they may be another White King bloodline that exists in the legend, and at the same time have a half-blood monarch with dragon king-level combat power as the leader, could it be that the Chen family is not a mud pinch?
Well, compared to a half-blood monarch with dragon king-level combat power who didn't seem to have any weaknesses, the Chen family and the mud were not far behind.
If it was usual, the Chen family, who was good at secrecy and life-saving, would not be unbearable, after all, it was easy to kneel, so that they could better survive and complete the great cause of dragon slaying - but not now.
The dragon king is gradually waking up, and the candle dragon project is underway, and although the most core things can be taken with him, some, some other, quite important things that cannot be moved are in this land.
If they retreat to the second place or even leave the East now, the best outcome of the Chen family will completely lose the initiative, and in the worst case, the Gattuso family, who has huge ambitions, will not even have scum left.
Therefore, it is necessary to have a hard top, to let the kingdom of heaven know that they are a stone that is not easy to gnaw on, and it is not easy to eat them, so that there can be a chance to negotiateβat worst, if not to maintain the current situation of dividing the world equally, at least the land must be split and crowned king.
There is not much land needed now, as long as the area around the Chen family's base camp is preserved, and when the Candle Dragon Project is completed, the issue of territory can naturally be re-discussed.
But in order to achieve this goal, the strength of the Chen family alone is absolutely insufficient, and all people must be tied to the chariot.
To be reasonable, it's not easy.
It is clear that there is a zero chance of winning, and the best ending is also a draw in the battle, and no one wants to fight.
And the Kingdom of Heaven is not an undying dragon, but a half-breed that can theoretically communicate - besides, there is no shortage of undead dragons.
But there was a huge problem in the kingdom of heaven that gave him some confidence to persuade those who disagreed with him.
The meeting had been going on for nearly two hours, and it was clearly divided into three factions - a hard-top faction led by the Chen clan, a capitulation faction formed by the fusion of small and medium-sized families, and a wall-top faction that had everything and did not express opinions or agreed with both sides.
The three factions had a frank conversation, fully exchanged opinions, and enhanced mutual understanding, and although it was a little unpleasant, they fully respected each other's ideas.
"Ahem."
"Ahem."
"Ahem."
Chen Cang, who had not expressed an opinion since the opening, coughed three times, and soon the venue was quiet, and the prestige accumulated over the years made it possible for any faction to listen to what he had to say - and they all knew that after Chen Cangtu saw the dagger, he had to make a final decision.
"Ladies and gentlemen, before making a final decision, I would like to ask you to think carefully about the way the Kingdom of Heaven acts." Looking at the quiet venue with satisfaction, Chen Cang slowly spoke, "This is a terrible organization that never hides itself, every time, every time they fight, it will leave traces in the world, in the past four years, if it weren't for us following them to wipe their butts, if it weren't for the cooperation of all the half-bloods in the East and the West, the existence of the half-bloods would have been exposed a long time ago." β
"Everyone knows the meaning behind this - it is now the 21st century, and the age of information, gunpowder, and guns have surpassed many words and spirits."
"For hundreds of years, mankind has armed itself with the power of science, and it can finally be balanced with alchemy and spiritualism."
"The edifice of science is constantly being built, the times are constantly advancing, and we rely on our bloodline, with the quality beyond mortals, in the construction of the edifice, in the progress of the times, constantly obtaining money, status, power, so far, the vast majority of the world, I mean more than 90% of the important positions are under our control."
"Because of this, we have the ability to concentrate the vast majority of our resources on the great cause of slaying dragons. And this is the key element that we have confidence and ability to fight the upcoming final battle. β
"But all of this is based on the half-blood, and the result of the dragons not being exposed to the public."
"Think about it, if the kingdom of heaven were to rule the whole of the East, with their way of doing things, within two years, the half-bloods and dragons would be exposed to the public, and with it, a series of problems. Those who are short-sighted, who only know how to cherish their own possessions, but who have no concern for the fate of mankind, will get us into trouble after trouble. β
"These foolish fellows don't know what "blood mourning" is! I don't know what prophecy is and what inevitable disaster is. In their eyes, the world-destroying catastrophe caused by the dragons is only a legend, and the inevitable future is only the future - and we, I mean all of us. β
"We rely on the connection between the bloodlines, grasp important positions, concentrate resources, so that they cannot be promoted, and make life difficult for the bottom and other small things are painful for them - in fact, there are many smart people who have guessed the existence of another society, and the reason why they are still honest is because the half-breed has absolutely powerful force."
"Although it seems that we don't need to go into battle ourselves, we only need to use our power, status, resources, and network to make them do their duty, and they don't dare to explore more, dare not go deeper, as a blind existence."
"But all of this is based on our absolute force - once they know that there is a world more powerful than us, will they still be honest?"
"As long as the news spreads, even if those stupid mortals will not directly join the dragon clan, they will use this as an excuse to blackmail us into splitting up our own enterprises, opening the ceiling for promotion, and improving the labor treatment of the people at the bottom, and wasting funds meaninglessly on their housing and medical security, so that the resources that we have finally gathered will be dispersed again, so that those powerful weapons that can really threaten the dragon king will lose the resources to maintain them one by one and gradually destroy!"
"Then we will be in trouble after trouble, until we lose the battle, lose all our pride as half-bloods, and lose the future of humanity."
"Ladies and gentlemen, ordinary people are ignorant sheep who spend their lives trying to survive, and dragons are hungry wolves lurking in them waiting for an opportunity to devour. We are the protectors of the flock, and we are also the shepherds, and over the years we have worked together to build a sheepfold that protects the sheep, but now the sheepfold is facing the possibility of destruction. β
"This time, it is not a war to decide who will dominate the East, but a war to ensure that this sheepfold is not destroyed."
"Ladies and gentlemen, we can't just back down, even at worst, and we must let the kingdom of heaven know the pain, sign the "Abrahamic Deed", and promise to keep everything about dragons strictly secret."
"This is a crucial battle that will decide us, decide the fate of the half-blood, and decide the fate of mankind, for the sake of the overall situation of slaying the dragon, we must not retreat!"
After finishing the tirade that had been brewing for a long time, Chen Cang looked at the silent hall with satisfaction, looked at the wavering people, and understood that his persuasion had had worked, and just as he was about to add another fire and inform him about the upcoming invitation to the Western half-breeds.
Seven, seven representatives of small and medium-sized half-breed families suddenly stood up, united in one direction.
Chen Cang recognized them, this group of guys was the leader of the most unwavering capitulation faction in the discussion just now.
Could it be that they were also moved? If so, then there is no doubt about the outcome of this meeting.
"The Chen family's parents' rhetoric is very reasonable." Ye Shun, the patriarch of the Ye clan at the head, said, "Everything told is also very meaningful, and the goals set are also feasible. β
"But I'm sorry, as Patriarch Chen Cang said, the source of our acquisition of all these positions is based on absolute force."
"So, why should we resist absolute force? If Heaven wants to expose everything, then why reject their decision? β
"The absolute strong always have their own reasons, and their thinking may be difficult for us to understand, but following the strong is definitely meaningful and reasonable."
"After all, the will of the strongest is the overall situation!"
As he spoke, the seven of them pointed into knives and smashed the suit wrapped in the outer layer, revealing the black military trench coat of the Heavenly Kingdom.
"It's 4:50 p.m." Ye Shun raised his hand and looked at the watch in his hand, "There are only ten minutes left until the ultimatum." β
"Everyone, please make your choice - do you want to stay here, respond to the call of the Chen family patriarch, and fight to the death with my heavenly kingdom?"
"Or do you want to follow the general trend, take into account the overall situation, and join us and other heavenly kingdoms?"
Ye Shun said with complete fearlessness, and a snake-like vertical boy appeared, and his unique eyes confirmed his authenticity as a member of the Heavenly Kingdom - "Choose, you only have one minute to think, one chance to choose." β
