Chapter 1050 Decision - Part 1
Three hours earlier
Zhang Mengyao gathered all the high rankings into one room for a talk. This was the moment right after Tang Shaoyang lured away the figures that came from the crack in the sky. Even until the crack was still in the sky, she gathered them all in a hurry.
She relayed Avyn's message as soon as everyone gathered in the same room. The message was: "Don't come out of the city until the crack disappears!"
"I heard people talking in the city that the crack was caused by God Ranks." Lu An responded in a low-spirited voice. "The people talked that the three God Ranks from the Divine Church came to the tower and wanted to kill Bro- His Majesty. I have tried to get information as to why the Divine Church wanted to kill His Majesty, but it's hard because I can't sneak into their territory."
The moment God Rank was mentioned, the atmosphere dropped. Marshal Alton looked up at the ceiling and let out a sigh. He was the highest rank in the empire, but he was still nothing compared to the God Rank. Once more, he was disgusted by himself; he hated himself because the same tragedy was about to fall on the person he served.
Marshal Alton failed Queen Rosalie by falling for the traitor's scheme. Now, he was faced with an adversary he could not defeat.
"We should help his Majesty. It should be easy to track their battle's trace." Lu An wanted to help his brother fight the God Rank. The reason he wanted to be strong was for this moment, after all. However, his idea was immediately shot down by Marshal Alton.
"We can't help him. We will just burden him. If we come to help, we might split His Majesty's attention to protect us from the God Rank. That will endanger him even more." Marshal Alton shook his head.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door. A Tarrior came in and reported that the crack had disappeared from the sky. The first reaction was that the people in the room were not going out to check the crack but opened their faction window. They wanted to see Tang Shaoyang's name on the member list.
If the name was still on the list, that meant Tang Shaoyang was still alive. However, if his name disappeared from the list, that meant he died in the battle. That was the simplest way to find out whether their leader was still alive or not.
The room instantly filled with killing intent after they checked the vacant position. Next to the Faction Leader was a vacant; the name disappeared from the list. Zhang Mengyao and Kang Xue went weak as they leaned their backs in shock. The silence ensued as everyone seemed to stop breathing.
Everyone held their breath as it was just hard to believe it happened like this. Tang Shaoyang was the strongest figure among them, and yet he still lost. The depressed atmosphere engulfed the room as they did not know what to do next. Everyone wanted to go out and fight the Divine Church, but the fact that Tang Shaoyang died discouraged them from fighting them. They would be just throwing their lives if they fought someone that could kill the Emperor.
Lu An was the first one to stand up from the chair. He was about to head out of the room, but Zhang Mengyao stopped him. "Where are you going, Lu An?"
"I am going to kill all the bastards from the Divine Church! I will not sit here after they kill my brother!" Lu An did not stop his footsteps, but then Moonsong appeared before the young man.
The Moon Tribe Chief held Lu An's shoulders. "I know you are grieving, but charging into the enemy by yourself is not the right move. Sit, and we discuss our next move. I believe you are not the only one who wants to avenge His Majesty."
Lu An looked down for a moment before nodding his head. The young man returned to his seat with slumped shoulders.
"Is it okay if I lead the meeting?" Marshal Alton took over, glancing at Wei Xi and Zhang Mengyao. The Supreme General was not in the right mind to lead the meeting, and Wei Xi seemed to be inexperienced in this situation. He volunteered to take over the meeting.
Hearing no objection, Marshal Alton continued. "Before we speak in detail, can we agree on one thing first? Do we want to fight the Divine Church and avenge his Majesty? Or do we follow his will and return to Earth?"
The last will, if anything went wrong in the Dimensional Tower. They will return to the Earth and focus on developing the earth until the next Dimensional Tower. That was the plan b if the eleventh floor of the Dimensional Tower was too strong for them.
"I want to fight the Divine Church! I know it's too ambitious and foolish to think of killing the person who killed His Majesty, so we change our target to the Divine Church's followers!" Lu An was the first one to respond. He might be the youngest in this room, but the Intelligent Division's influence was big. Everyone took the youngest's decision seriously. "We will save the big boy for later! Once we are strong enough, we will hunt down the three people who hunt His Majesty!"
"This is not a no-brainer decision but based on the data my division has gathered. After a few days of watching the Divine Church's force, I am confident that we can bring the Divine Church down!"
It was a moment of silence before Virion, the Elven King, voiced his agreement with Lu An's idea. His agreement surprised everyone in the room after the shocking stain on the Emperor was revealed, which involved Virion's birth mother.
"I agree with war, but we will do it smartly. A war is not always a frontal war, but we can start it by ambushing them. What I want is a battle with strategy and caution instead of throwing our force toward the Divine Church's people!" The Moon Chief, Moonsong, voiced his agreement as well.
After the three initial positive responses, everyone started to voice their agreement as well. Agree to declare war against the Divine Church. This was the start of the chaos in Starter City #4.
