Chapter 507

And that wasn’t the end of it, they had to pay another 10,000 gold coins?

No wonder even Zhao Zuo Shizhang was so angry.

He had always been able to keep his cool.

Zhao Zuo Shizhang sighed and sat down.

“The target for this war is set, and the enemy is also set.

“The target is the Jiaoya Town to our west, attacking on October 10th, 3 days later!

“That is the sphere of influence of General Yan Ling’s World-Breaking Army. Now we really have to go head-to-head.

“But… General Yan Ling’s World-Breaking Army, that is a real resistance army, I really don’t want to go to war with them.

“I suppose everyone has heard of their deeds and goals; that is truly a great goal…

“Unfortunately, it’s too chaotic now.

“And although they are strong, they are not the opponents of these alien races.

“We discussed for half the night last night, and two plans appeared, but we couldn’t decide.

“So, today I want to initiate a family vote.

“The final choice will be left to everyone.

“Now we only have 2 choices in front of us.

“The 1st choice, endure it.

“We continue to endure like this, waiting for the future to change.

“Although we will definitely be blackmailed by those alien races again and again, they will always leave us a breath.

“After all, they still count on us to create benefits for them.

“At least for a long period of time, we can still linger on.

“It’s just… if even General Yan Ling is defeated, humans will really become slaves of the alien races completely.

“We will also have no hope of turning things around for a long time in the future.

“However, most of our family will eventually survive.

“This is the 1st choice.”

The lords looked at each other.

Everyone was thinking.

Even Su Qin, who was bursting with happiness, frowned and thought carefully.

But she didn’t think for long before turning to stare at Zhao Chi.

The meaning in her eyes was clear: whichever you choose, I will choose.

Zhao Chi smiled at her.

To be honest, Zhao Chi didn’t want to make this choice.

Very simple, he didn’t want to choose anything that supported alien races or was beneficial to them.

However, this was just his inner thought.

Reality is heavy.

If they continued the current mode, Zhao Chi could actually live quite well.

He could continue to hide under the big tree of the Zhao family, growing carefully and rapidly.

As long as he was given enough time, he wouldn’t fear anyone.

Even alien races.

But other lords might have different opinions.

They didn’t have Zhao Chi’s ability; every action and every war by the alien races was a loss for them, with the risk of defeat and death.

Zhao Zuo Shizhang watched the lords discuss silently, giving them a full 15 minutes.

But this kind of thing couldn’t be discussed enough; no matter how much time was given, it wouldn’t be finished.

Zhao Zuo Shizhang cleared his throat.

“Alright, I’ll state the 2nd choice, let’s discuss it together.

“The 2nd choice is nothing more than resistance; we also become a resistance army.

“This time the alien races chose General Yan Ling as their target, so we will surrender to General Yan Ling and turn against the alien races on the battlefield, stabbing them in the back.

“But if we choose this, we probably won’t have a stable life anymore.

“We will definitely have to leave Xiliu Village and follow General Yan Ling east and west.

“And judging by the current situation, the alien races still have an absolute advantage.

“Although we can get rid of the exploitation of the alien races now, we will be wanted and hunted by them forever.

“There will be no peace.

“Do you want to die standing, or live kneeling? Everyone, choose!”

After saying these words, Zhao Zuo Shizhang slumped in his chair.

It wasn’t that he had no energy left, but that his heart was tired.

The fate of the entire Zhao family was left to this choice.

After saying this, the discussion among the lords became much quieter.

Everyone was thinking.

Is it choosing to boil a frog in warm water, slowly being drained, slowly being squeezed to death?

Or choosing to cut the Gordian knot, fuck them, die if you die!

Fighting directly is very refreshing.

Very hot-blooded, very full of passion and heroism.

But…

Most people still wanted to live.

Even if it’s boiling in warm water, at least it’s still warm water, and you can live a little longer.

Who knows if there will be variables later?

The nobles who felt they could never be reached before became stray dogs overnight, huddled in the central area and unable to show their faces.

Will these alien races be like this in the future?

Only by living is there hope.

This is indeed true, but if everyone thinks this way, there will never be variables again.

They will always be slaves, always ridden on their heads by alien races.

This is also true, but…

The discussion gradually grew louder.

Even starting to argue.

These two options, the first one is the most beneficial to Zhao Chi.

First hibernate, first huddle.

This is the most stable way to develop.

But he still chose the second one.

He felt the hot blood in his genes burning.

The charge bugle seemed to have already sounded.

One after another, the cutest people have already rushed up.

In another world, another time and space, another history of resistance.

At that time, just like this moment.

This choice is not rational, but there must be irrational people who rush up first to lead the rational people to rush together.

Zhao Chi thinks he is a rational person, but he is willing to be irrational once.

The vote began.

Zhao Zuo Shizhang patrolled the circle.

“Everyone think for another minute, don’t be impulsive, don’t follow blindly, vote according to your own ideas.

“According to the principle of the minority obeying the majority, we must all accept the voting results.

“Even if the ending is not good, at least we have chosen.

“Let’s bear the ending of the road we chose ourselves.
