Supreme Tamer

Chapter 1669: Chapter 1529: The Identity of Another King

Liu Binglan deftly changed the subject back to the original issue at hand.

Naturally, the convening of this all-hands meeting was to discuss the ultimate decision of whether to fight or to migrate.

Indeed, the leaders of all regions in the New Moon Land have stated that they must fight, even if it means defeat, for without fighting, the people of New Moon Land will have no footing on this land in the future.

The Human Domain might seem peaceful, but the divisions between races are still very stark. Take for example those humans of the Servant Level with brown pupils; they inhabit nearly the worst environments and possess the scarcest resources. Even the occasional strong individuals among them are capped by racial restrictions, unable to make any further breakthroughs.

Moreover, generation after generation of these people live in such a state, with hardly a chance for change.

The status of the people of New Moon Land has been rising, but if they lose the precious land of New Moon Land, wouldn’t these migrating races become the lowest-ranked peoples, just like those of Servant Level?

Therefore, they must keep fighting at all costs!!

However, no matter how loud the calls for battle grow, the core members of New Moon Palace must consider the safety of the lives of the New Moon Land populace.

The major powers have been spreading the message that if New Moon Land does not migrate now, they will face not only war but possibly genocidal rebellion. Everyone who stays in New Moon Land to fight for it must be executed, including their children!

In fact, slaughter is not permitted; after all, this crusade does not represent the Eight Great Powers, but just some factions within them. Other factions would not allow these allied factions to do as they please.

Therefore, the crusade alliance is engaging in scaremongering. But once the war breaks out, the slaughters that happen are often easily concealed, and such scaremongering could still turn into a bloody reality.

The enemy is truly too powerful; what use is the will to fight when it is like throwing eggs against rocks?

As a result, there are now two factions within New Moon Land: naturally, one hopes to migrate to preserve the nation of New Moon Land, and the other insists on fighting, unyielding to the death to defend New Moon Land.

Madame Ying of the Xuan Immortal Sect, Judge Xiao and Sect Master Xiao of the Divine Sect, the Mu Li faction of Mu Family Dynasty, Elder Tao of Imperial Clan, the old hermits of Humble City, and Yu Suo all expressed that New Moon Land should make one last concession, temporarily avoid this storm, and seek ways to reclaim New Moon Land’s territory after the turmoil of the Ancient Jiao people settles.

At most in twenty years, at the next Liangkun Mountain Conference, New Moon Land must return to the hands of the New Moon race.

However, if the New Moon race is accidentally exterminated or left with few survivors, then even if victorious, there would be no one left to hold New Moon Land, and the victory would lose its significance.

In recent days, Liu Binglan’s mind has been wandering endlessly between fighting and migrating.

She is in favor of battle, but how could she bear to see New Moon Land awash in bloodshed? With a single word from her to continue the fight, she might sacrifice everyone for this battle.

But if they don’t fight, they would have to hand over New Moon Land, enduring the pain of being homeless for twenty years. By then, even if New Moon Land is recovered, would it still be the original New Moon Land?

Enduring this agony day and night, she has become extremely haggard. What keeps her going is a sliver of hope, and this hope comes from Chu Mu.

In these days, Liu Binglan has been suffocated by the pressure of the crusade army, until she saw Chu Mu’s return, which finally gave her some peace of mind. No matter how Liu Binglan managed New Moon Land, Chu Mu is ultimately its rightful king, because only he can shoulder such a great responsibility.

Liu Binglan carefully summarized the Liangkun Mountain Conference and the recent situation of New Moon Land to Chu Mu, while others patiently waited for her to convey the situation to Chu Mu.

“Now the tendency leans towards migration, but there are still those who wish to fight on, and we need a final resolution,” Liu Binglan said to Chu Mu.

This ultimate decision, naturally, was to be made by Chu Mu, because he is the king of New Moon Land!

Although Chu Mu did not attend the Liangkun Mountain Conference, listening to Liu Binglan’s description ignited a fury in his heart!!

With the awakening of the ancient Jiao people imminent, instead of taking the most direct approach to deal with it, they are scheming over the division of New Moon Land’s territory!

And they even dare to wave the banner of safeguarding humanity!!

Chu Mu truly regretted not attending the Liangkun Mountain Conference. If he had been there, he would have flipped the conference table right onto the face of the old Lao Gu from the Imperial Clan!! Such audacity!

Moreover, the two Great Royal Families are taking themselves too seriously, assuming the posture of the controllers of the Mortal World. Have the strongest of the Millennium Era arisen yet for them to start playing God?

“Fight.”

Chu Mu uttered just one word, without any superfluous talk!

“King Chu, it seems you have decided to fight without fully understanding the strength of our enemy,” an equally disgruntled young Elder spoke up.

“King Chu, you’ve just returned from your cultivation. Maybe it’s better to understand the full situation before making a decision,” the more diplomatic Elder Pang suggested.

Most of the more conservative core members were advising Chu Mu to understand the situation first, their voices of persuasion sounding in chorus.

“King Chu, how about we pause the meeting here and continue the discussion tomorrow?” Jiang Demon Emperor said.

Chu Mu shook his head, his gaze fell on New Moon Marshal Yuan Sui, and he asked, “What is the status of the New Moon Navy?”

Yuan Sui looked up, replied calmly and confidently, “Just waiting for the Wupan Navy to deliver themselves to death!”

The New Moon Navy is the ace army of the New Moon Land, and from start to finish, it only follows the orders of Chu Mu alone.

Even if everyone in the New Moon Palace said they wanted to relocate, as long as Chu Mu alone called for battle, the New Moon Navy would absolutely not back down.

“Elder Yu, how’s the situation with the Holy Guard Army?” Chu Mu ignored all opposing voices and directly inquired of a few martial halls.

Yu Bo held the position of the highest elder of the New Moon Holy Guards, and this former great instructor of the royal family had now cultivated the New Moon Holy Guards to incomparable excellence.

The only commander of the New Moon Holy Guards was also King Chu Mu. If Chu Mu said to fight, no one in the Holy Guard Army would shake their head!

“Just waiting for King Chu’s orders!” Yu Bo said respectfully.

Normally, people could address each other as they pleased, but up in the Great Hall, Yu Bo had to maintain respect for a king!

“And the New Moon Hall Army?” Chu Mu’s gaze fell upon Chao Lengchuan.

The New Moon Hall Army is the most central force of the New Moon Land, and it is also the largest elite army.

This legion is usually managed by the three eldest elders of the Three Great Palaces – Elder Pang, Elder Shen, and Elder Liu. However, the real commander is Chao Lengchuan, and even though he, like Chu Mu, has been constantly cultivating, the ultimate power to move this army definitely lies with Chao Lengchuan.

“Remember during the War of Independence, King Chu had already said that without permission, whoever steps on this land, whether you are the Cloud Realm Domain Lord, Boundary Domain Lord, or a high official of the Divine Sect… must be put to death! Now, our enemy is no longer just the minor Cloud Realm, nor any Boundary Domain Lords, nor high officials of the Divine Sect. It has become a colossal entity like the entire human power. But does this not further prove that our strength is enough to make all these forces wary?”

“In that case, how can we not fight?” Chao Lengchuan said with a surge of bloodlust.

Chao Lengchuan’s words left the meeting silent for a long time. Chu Mu, however, watched this fellow, thinking to himself that having not seen him for a while, why had he suddenly become so domineering? Is this still the restrained and shy Morning Crown Prince?

A leader ought to have the resolve of a leader. The words of the Morning Crown Prince were very good. Chu Mu did not like sensationalist nonsense, and the speech of the Morning Crown Prince complemented Chu Mu’s shortcomings well.

“Uncle Bai Yu, what about you?” Chu Mu looked at Uncle Bai Yu and asked.

“I’m in charge of killing people,” Bai Yu said indifferently.

“King Chu, I, Bai Shaoye, along with the commander of the external New Moon Hall Army, are willing to follow you to the death,” Bai Shaoye directly made his stance clear.

Bai Shaoye and Shen Mo were jointly in charge of the power of the external division of the New Moon Land, which also had a powerful army. Now, Bai Shaoye, as an external core member, made his stance clear, which sufficiently proved his loyalty.

Chu Mu glanced at Bai Shaoye and nodded slightly. It seems that using the Light attribute immortal objects to win people’s hearts was the correct choice.

After Bai Shaoye, city generals, border commanders, and city masters of the big cities all expressed their stance directly!

For a moment, the group advocating for relocation also felt quite helpless.

Originally, the relocate faction held certain advantages in the debate between relocating and engaging in war. However, upon Chu Mu’s return, all those truly in power sided entirely with this king!

In terms of military dispatch and war, Chu Mu is not skilled in command, so he leaves the specific matters to Chao Lengchuan.

Chao Lengchuan indeed had been cultivating, but his place of cultivation was every place in the human domain where wars took place. This is why this guy has become so bloodthirsty now.

Xiong Shou Yuan Sui also excelled in command, entrusting him with the command of the New Moon Navy core army and Navy Corps would not be a problem at all.

The two were appointed by Chu Mu as the supreme rulers of the army.

After the meeting disbanded, Xiong Shou Yuan Sui, Bai Yu, Chao Lengchuan, Bai Shaoye, Shen Mo, Liu Binglan, Wanxiang City General Luo Zhongjun, Xiangrong City Master Xia Zhixian, Ye Wansheng, Yu Bo Yu Wind Flute, Cloud Gate Elder Yue Lei, Elder Liu, Elder Pang, Elder Shen, and all internal members of the New Moon Land were left behind by Chu Mu.

These were all people Chu Mu could trust completely and who also held power over the legions. Chu Mu needed to know just how big the gap was between his own force and that of the crusading alliance.

“Chu Mu, all our Dominator-level powers added up are only about 6,000, while the crusading allied army has 16,000. Just on the level of Dominator-level legions, we are nearly 10,000 short of the enemy,” Chao Lengchuan said looking at Chu Mu.

Chao Lengchuan knew that Chu Mu still controlled Yu Suo’s Invisible Kingdom. If this Invisible Kingdom surfaced, perhaps there would be capital for a fight. Otherwise, calling for battle would just be empty talk.

“Our Dominator-level power is not limited to 6,000; it will be far more than that,” Chu Mu said calmly.

Indeed, the New Moon Land only had around 6,000 Dominator-level strong ones. The development from the original few to this many was quite terrifying.

However, these were merely human Dominator-level strong ones.

“More than 6,000?” Elder Pang thought hard but couldn’t figure out what other force there could be.

Those at the meeting who are very familiar with Chu Mu all forgot that besides being the king of the New Moon Land, Chu Mu also held another king’s status!
