Chapter 2785: Chapter 874
Strength is not the only criterion for determining status, but if one possesses formidable strength, then it is impossible for that person to have no status. After all, this place is not Earth, and no matter how formidable a person is, a gun can solve the problem. When a person’s strength becomes powerful enough to threaten the ruler, whether the ruler is willing or not, upon sensing the threat from these strong individuals, they are bound to raise the status of these strong individuals automatically, simply to bind them to their own war chariots, preventing them from targeting them while relying on their strength to counter other strong individuals.
Undoubtedly, the ones Zhou Tian killed at that time certainly held a high position within the Human Race. Not to mention their inherently powerful strength, but also the disciples they taught with that strength, were estimated to be none who were weaker. Coupled with the fact that these strong ones inevitably have some friends and relatives, when the majority of the Human Race members suspect they died at the hands of the Beastman Tribe’s strong individuals, even if the high levels of the Human Race are unwilling to go to war with the Beastman Tribe, those with certain status would also compel the high levels to declare war at that time.
When most members of the regime support war, even if the ruler is unwilling, they can only issue a declaration of war at that time.
Thus, under such circumstances at that time, because a large number of Human Race strong individuals were assassinated, and under the suspicion that it was the doing of the Beastman Tribe, the Human Race almost decided to retaliate against the Beastman Tribe without much hesitation.
And under such circumstances at the time, with the ruler’s orders, a large number of Human Experts and the army were soon mobilized.
However...
Although at the time, it was due to anger and deep grudges that most members of the Human Race supported the necessary battle with the Beastman Tribe, once the war truly started, not only the high levels of the Human Race, but any member with a bit of rationality knew then that the hope of winning the war against the Beastman Tribe was not very high.
Despite knowing they were not opponents, due to public opinion, they had to wage war against the Beastman Tribe, but running directly for revenge was not something insightful individuals of the Human Race would allow. Because for this counterattack, the Human Race mobilized almost ninety percent of their strength, and if they encountered a great defeat, even if the Human Race weren’t annihilated, their situation would not fare much better.
So, at a time when there’s not much winning odds and a single defeat could lead to extermination, any method that has a slightest possibility of increasing their winning odds would not be abandoned by those high levels of the Human Race.
As a result, under such a situation, the angels under Zhou Tian once again caught the attention of those high levels of the Human Race.
Even at this moment, not many members of the Human Race truly trust the angels, and even if the crisis of the Human Race passes, those high levels of the Human Race might still be wary of the angels. But at least at this moment, the high levels of the Human Race have reasons they cannot ignore to seek out the angels.
After all, the strength of the angels is undeniable.
Indeed, with the psychological state of those high levels of the Human Race at the time, they were never at ease with the angels, as if knowing the angels would become their enemies in the future. If the strength of the Beastman Tribe wasn’t way stronger than theirs, those high levels really wouldn’t mind immediately teaming up with the Beastman Tribe to eliminate these external living beings once they found them.
But unfortunately, no matter how much they distrusted the angels, those high levels of the Human Race at that moment could only rely on their strength for self-preservation. As the strength of the Beastman Tribe is far superior to the Human Race, if they didn’t rely on external force, the Human Race would’ve been exterminated eight hundred years ago.
Previously, when combating the Beastman Tribe, the Human Race relied on their own higher technology and not weaker strong individuals for help. But now, due to Zhou Tian’s actions before, the number of strong individuals of the Human Race has drastically reduced. Without requesting the angels’ help, those high levels of the Human Race knew clearly that it would be impossible to even consider defeating those Beastmen, let alone self-preservation.
Under such circumstances, the combat power of the angels became extremely important.
As this world allows a small number of angels to enter without issue, more angels continued to come over. Although their numbers did not match the Human Race, the number of angels living in this world at the time was no longer insignificant.
More importantly for the Human Race high levels is that most angels possess very strong strength. Even two-winged angels are hardly matched by anyone in the Human Race. When reaching the four-winged angel level, it became very difficult for the Human Race to find individuals capable of fighting them. Although six-winged angels have never made a move, the high levels of the Human Race were able to estimate that fighting against such level of angels would be nearly impossible without teaming up with a large number of strong individuals and using Human Sea Tactic to exhaust them.
