#2204 - Opportunities and negotiations
“The sudden arrival of these indigenous armies couldn't be an attack on our Four-One-Eight Area, could it...? We haven't provoked them.”
“You're an idiot. Do you think they'd tell you if they were going to attack? The starry skies don't care about grudges, only benefits.”
“They can obtain huge benefits by occupying our Four-One-Eight Area. That's their motive, they don't need anything else.”
“Is there no possibility of stopping this war? I don't want to die like this.”
......
What made the Strange Race feel slightly more at ease was that these armies in the sky were only blockading and not choosing to attack.
This attitude is very important at this moment.
It means... they still have the possibility of negotiation.
The reason why the Heavenly Court's First Army soldiers didn't attack immediately was entirely because Qin Yi wanted to give these Strange Race people a chance to live.
He has never been one to kill innocent people indiscriminately.
The original beings of the heavens only have irreconcilable grievances with the Chaos Gods in this starry sky.
There are no such grudges with other races.
Guang Lie and the others were a little puzzled after receiving this news.
“These indigenous armies aren't launching a full-scale attack on the Four-One-Eight Area, what's the point of blockading the Four-One-Eight Area?”
“Do you think it's possible that Emperor Qin wants to subdue the Strange Race of the Four-One-Eight Area, just like subduing us?”
“You know, that's not impossible, and it's very likely. The Strange Race is not the Chaos God Race, and reconciliation is very possible.”
“Analyzing it from this perspective, Emperor Qin doesn't seem to be a person who only knows how to kill, and is relatively harmonious towards other races.”...
Four-One-Eight Area, Strange Race Headquarters.
At this time, Strange Eye was racking his brains thinking of countermeasures.
In terms of overall strength, their Strange Race is definitely unable to fight against these indigenous people.
Not to mention the top combat power, the person who can possess such an army can't be a weakling.
The other side is now besieging without attacking, obviously waiting for his reaction.
If he can't give a satisfactory answer in a very short time.
This battle is definitely unavoidable.
“Our Four-One-Eight Area can only provide so much... what exactly does the other party want?”
Just then, a clansman outside brought a letter: "Lord Strange Eye, this is a letter from those indigenous people."
Strange Eye took two quick steps, took the letter and opened it.
The words on it were very short 'Submit or die.'
Adding up to only five words, the psychological pressure brought to Strange Eye cannot be explained by these five words.
Strange Eye now completely understands what the other party needs.
He looked at his many subordinates and said, “What are your opinions on this matter?”
The subordinates below said: "Lord Strange Eye, people have already said it very clearly, either submit or die, we don't want to die."
“Let's submit, we have no hope of confrontation in the face of powerful forces, it's better to keep the green hills than to worry about running out of firewood.”
“Our current decision is related to the life and death of all living beings in the Four-One-Eight Area. Submission is our only way out at the moment.”
“With such a powerful indigenous army, if we fight head-on, the Four-One-Eight Area will become a ruin before long.”...
Hearing the words of his subordinates, Strange Eye breathed a sigh of relief.
How could he not know this truth.
This is a choice between life and death, and he chose the former.
Regardless of cultivation level and status, when truly faced with this choice, ninety-nine percent will choose the former.
Especially after having enjoyed the beauty brought by a long life.
The other Strange Race high-level figures are now focused on Strange Eye.
They were very nervous in their hearts. Strange Eye, as the ruler of the Four-One-Eight Area.
If he had to make some irrational decision, they would have no way to stop it.
Strange Eye felt the gazes on his body and naturally understood what his subordinates who had followed him for many years were thinking.
He said: "Don't worry, I'm not that stupid, let's prepare to submit to these indigenous people."
Many Strange Race high-level figures couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after hearing these words, and then said:
“Lord Strange Eye is wise, all the living beings in our Four-One-Eight Area can survive in such a cruel situation, all thanks to your wise decision.”
“We were just thinking whether Lord Strange Eye would get carried away and ask us to resist desperately, but now it seems that we are short-sighted.”
“Now that we choose to submit, in fact, analyzing it from the current situation, joining this indigenous force is not necessarily a bad thing.”
“The starry sky is already a place where people can't wait to fight to the death, our situation is no different from embracing thighs in advance, in my opinion this is a good thing.”...
Strange Eye sighed after hearing these words.
A good thing? Perhaps.
They have now chosen to submit, and even if it is a bad thing, they have to think about it in a good way.
What's more, everything is unknown now.
Living beings are like this, once they make a decision, they will subjectively think about this matter.
And they will think of this matter very beautifully...
This causes the real results to have a very large gap from the ideal in many cases.
Above the Four-One-Eight Area.
Under the attention of countless living beings, Strange Eye led many Strange Race high-level figures and said loudly:
“We are willing to submit to the Little Firmament Star Territory!”
Inside the marching camp.
A smile appeared on the corner of Qin Yi's mouth: “It seems that these Strange Race people are not stupid.”
Qin Liang said: “The strength gap between the two sides is so large, resisting to the end can only be looking for death.”
While speaking, Qin Yi's voice spread throughout the Four-One-Eight Area: “Approved.”
Just this one word put a period on the whole thing.
Strange Eye and others had very bitter expressions. From the time they surrendered to the present, they had not even seen the other party's face.
Soon they received news that they were to stand by in the Four-One-Eight Area.
A confused Strange Eye took his many subordinates back to headquarters.
Many Strange Race creatures outside showed smiles on their faces:
“I was scared to death, I thought the two sides were going to go to war, now it seems that after we surrender, everyone is one of us.”
“Don't care whether you are one of us or not, as long as you can live, I am most afraid of dying.”
“As the saying goes, it is better to live poorly than to die well, death is a very frightening thing, no one will like this feeling.”
“Thank Lord Strange Eye and the others for making a wise decision, as long as their thoughts are slightly deviated, we may all be reduced to cannon fodder.”
......
Guang Lie and the others heard that Qin Yi had subdued the Four-One-Eight Area without bloodshed, and their expressions became more complicated.
You must know that in recent years, the Light Clan and the Strange Race have had many frictions...
