Defying the Fate of Beheading-Chapter 536 - 297: Day and Night, Pushing and Pulling
"No, the Curse Binding Legionโs very existence is a taboo. Donโt harbor a tiger to court disaster. Once it grows stronger and has other ideas, how is that different from the Demon King for us?" ๐ฏ๐ป๐๐๐๐ฎ๐๐ท๐๐ฟ๐๐.๐๐ธ๐ข
As soon as these words were spoken, the place fell silent.
This is the most awkward issue.
They trusted the statements from the Ense Empire, Tunisia, and even the Giant Demon Tribe, and knew that enhancing the power of the Curse Binding Legion was theoretically the optimal solution.
As long as the Curse Binding Legion is willing to join the battle, the losses suffered by each nation when facing Demon King Helmer can theoretically be minimized.
โAfter all, compared with the undead Curse Binding Legion, the life-for-life ability of national armies is far inferior and lacks resurrection capabilities.
But as this demigod said, who can guarantee that Mayer wonโt turn around to become the next Demon King Helmer?
The little swan, who was listening to the noisy discussions on-site using a magic duplicate, suddenly spoke:
"No one is begging you to participate, just when your forces face Helmerโs attack, letโs hope you can still maintain your current tough stance."
Everyone looked at each other, not expecting the Second Princess of the Empire to speak so bluntly.
Upon hearing Olivia speak like this, the expression on the demigod visibly darkened.
He very much wanted to explode in anger and show what the power of a demigod meant.
A mere princess, really taking herself seriously?
But the next moment, he felt a cold, stern gaze from the shadow of that brat.
What kind of gaze was that?
Cold, deathly silent, filled with the taste of destruction.
His breath subconsciously hastened.
Damn, itโs the Emperorโs shadow.
An indescribable sense of dread spread through him, clearly only a little blonde sparrow was glaring at him, yet he seemed to hear the footsteps of the Death God.
Damn it, the Emperor is watching him.
This was the first thought that emerged in his mind.
It was just a glare at your daughter; why such a big temper?
This was the second thought that emerged in his mind.
Angrily, he said, "Who said they disagreed? Who said they disagreed? Iโm just saying at least we should draft a reasonable plan to show everyone the Ense Empireโs sincerity, right?"
Louis saw the demigodโs expression keep changing, a subtle smile on his face.
In times like these, he fully realized how much courage Old Deng had instilled in him.
But seeing the demigod now speaking the weakest words in the harshest tone, he couldnโt help but wonder what exactly the Emperor did back in the day to frighten others like this.
Oliviaโs mouth was also sharp, as per her prior agreement with Louis, she intended to play the role of an arrogant young lady at the meeting today.
Hands on her hips, she forcefully said, "Who cares whether you agree or not; if anything really goes wrong afterward, at worst weโll just lock down and wait for our chance, or do you think you can outlive Ense?"
Louis, controlling his prince incarnation from over there, fanned the flames: "Exactly, seize the opportunity, take a gamble, at worst turn the entire army into the Curse Binding Legion."
"Then Star Continent would be our strategic depth, allowing us more time to drag them to death."
Louis observed how many peopleโs expressions changed over and over on-site.
"Your Highness, what youโre saying makes no sense; weโre not saying we wonโt cooperate."
"Indeed, weโve got to trust in the power of our allies sometimes."
"To guard the glory of the stars, we are duty-bound."
Several top forces quickly divided and sided with Louisโs camp.
They were primarily top forces around the Ense Empire.
But there are differences even among the top echelons.
With the size of the Ense Empire, if it fully chooses to transform into the Curse Binding Legion and then play tactical home-exchange with their countries...
This was the biggest joke of the abyss.
They definitely donโt want anyone in Ense having such an idea.
Heaven is too far, Ense is too near.
Of course, some people expressed more evident opposition.
"Your Highness, is your attitude the attitude of Ense? Isnโt this too much?"
"The Order should be working together to fight against evil, how is your approach any different from the demons of the Abyss?"
"Arenโt you afraid of inciting public outrage?"
Louis replied, neither warmly nor coldly: "Ladies and gentlemen, what exactly are you talking about? If it truly comes to a point where Ense must dispatch troops to other countries, it only signifies one thing... the countries being deployed against no longer have the strength to resist the Demon King Army."
"Shouldnโt we seize this opportunity to quickly support our allies rather than watch you go to ruin?"
Upon hearing this, some demigods grew angry.
"Bold!"
"A mere merchant dares to recklessly discuss national policies!"
"How did the โNew Book of the Deadโ end up in the hands of such a person?"
Louisโs lips curved slightly, half-smiling as he said, "When did the Emperorโs defeated think they could hold on longer than the Empire?"
"Isnโt my statement a reasonable conjecture?"
"Why get angry? I thought you all would throw open your gates, welcoming our support."
The representatives sent by the Ense side were so firm that others struggled to respond.
In their anxiety, they couldnโt help but ponder a question:
"Strictly speaking, Ense, with its Emperor and Curse Binding Legion, is indeed the nation most likely to endure and counterattack among all others."
This thought, once sprouted, grew like wild grass in the hearts of all sides.
