Chapter 2053: The Great Battle Approaches!
Zhao Wu looked at everyone and said:
"Do not rush, everyone!"
"Keeping you here is to talk about this matter!"
"You must have heard the rumors about the Five Clans making moves and an impending war around Fengyuan City, right?"
Unexpectedly, Zhao Wu got straight to the point and brought up this matter directly.
In an instant, everyone was shocked and attentive.
"Indeed."
"This matter is indeed spreading like wildfire, with all kinds of messages flying around, making it hard to distinguish the truth."
"Yes, yes."
"Senior Zhao, is this matter true?"
Zhao Wu took a deep breath and said:
"This is what I want to talk to you about today."
"Over this time, after synthesizing intelligence from various sides, the Five Races Alliance is just a groundless rumor. Fengyuan City has sent many spies into the Five Clans, and no sign of a Five Races Alliance has been discovered."
Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Since Zhao Wu was so certain, it seemed the Five Races Alliance was merely a rumor.
With this, everyone felt much more at ease.
Because if it was truly the Five Races Alliance, the Human and Demon Clans might indeed face annihilation.
"However..."
Just as people were relaxing, Zhao Wu suddenly changed his tone.
In an instant, everyone was taken aback, staring at Zhao Wu.
They saw Zhao Wu slowly say:
"Although the Five Races Alliance is false, we have received confirmed news."
"The alliance between the Withered Wood Water Clan and the Phantom Clan is real."
"This is already a set matter."
"Moreover, there might be a third clan joining."
"So, war is unavoidable."
"And it is highly likely to erupt within ten years."
"What??? Ten years... this..." Once this was said, everyone was stunned.
All at once, they felt a heavy atmosphere spreading around.
Everyone’s face showed an overcast expression.
They knew very well inside.
The Human and Demon Clans were weak and facing the alliance of the Withered Wood Water Clan and the Phantom Clan, it would likely be a brutal battle.
Not to mention, there could be a third clan joining.
Once it truly erupts, everyone present might face the risk of falling.
This genuinely and closely related to each person’s life and death.
Even Zhou Yu in the crowd showed a look of helplessness.
What must come will always come.
Unexpectedly, it came so fast.
At this moment, someone couldn’t help but speak:
"Senior Zhao, we are all factions of the Plane Breakers, we rely on you, Senior Zhao, and Elder Lei."
"Please, Senior Zhao, guide us on how to preserve ourselves in the war."
Once this was said, others nodded repeatedly, looking longingly at Zhao Wu.
Zhao Wu pressed his hand towards everyone.
"I understand what you are thinking, rest assured, Elder Lei has already instructed that during the war, we will naturally find ways to protect everyone."
Upon hearing this, everyone slightly sighed with relief.
Since Elder Lei said such words, with his status, it’s naturally impossible to be mere words.
"However, you must also clearly understand one thing."
"Although there are different factions in Fengyuan City, each faction is trying to gain benefits for themselves."
"This is not wrong on ordinary days."
"But ultimately, everyone depends on Fengyuan City’s existence."
"Once Fengyuan City is breached, it would not benefit anyone of us."
"Therefore, even though Elder Lei will find ways to preserve you, in the upcoming war, everyone must play their part."
"Only those who truly contribute to Fengyuan City have the greatest chance of survival."
"I hope you understand this truth."
"If someone retreats in secret when the war erupts, cowardly fearing death, without waiting for the alien race’s hands, I will personally handle you."
Hearing Zhao Wu’s words, everyone repeatedly expressed their agreement.
"Senior Zhao, protecting the city and defending the pool is our duty."
"Yes, yes."
"We will surely do our utmost."
Hearing these words, Zhao Wu showed a satisfied expression.
"Very good."
"Next, I will formally tell you an important matter."
"This was something Elder Lei fought for at the Elder Council, at great cost."
"It was specifically obtained for our sake."
"If you can successfully achieve the goal, you will not need to participate in the city’s defense battle."
Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly became interested.
Previously, everyone’s core demand was to avoid directly participating in the city defense battle.
Because if it truly came to that point, facing millions, even tens of millions of alien races attacking the city.
At that time, life would be as insignificant as grass; even cultivators in the Divinity Transformation Realm would not even make a splash before being drowned in such a terrifying offensive wave.
This was a bloody lesson that had happened several times in Fengyuan City’s history.
"Senior Zhao, please get straight to the point, what do we need to do?"
Everyone tightly watched Zhao Wu, asking anxiously.
Zhao Wu solemnly said:
"The alien race war has become an irresistible trend. However, after a high-level meeting in Fengyuan City, a decision was made that we cannot sit and wait for death."
"They devised a series of preemptive plans."
"To catch the alien race off guard, maximizing their power’s destruction."
"All of this has been detailed into nearly a hundred missions."
"Any one of these missions, once completed, would significantly impact the war’s situation."
"Thus, those who complete a mission need not participate in the final city defense battle."
"Of course, I have to tell you in advance that these nearly hundred missions are all very difficult, and therefore, I will not force you."
"The choice is yours."
"Moreover, I remind you not to think of escaping. Unless you complete a mission or participate in the defense of the city, those who flee midway will face dire consequences. This is not a threat."
Upon hearing Zhao Wu’s words, everyone completely understood.
To put it bluntly, today’s meeting was about recruiting Death Warriors.
Tasks that can change the situation, anyone could guess, are immensely difficult.
Over these years, the Human and Demon Clans haven’t even talked about offensive actions; just defending against alien race spies around Fengyuan City has already cost a lot of strength.
Not to mention taking the initiative to attack.
But if they don’t complete the missions, they will have to participate in the final city defense battle, where the death rate will also be very high.
At this moment, everyone fell into a dilemma.
"Alright, that’s all there is to say, there’s no rush to decide. I will give you ten days."
"After ten days, those who want to take on a mission can come directly to me."
Having said that, Zhao Wu and a few protectors turned and walked out.
Seeing this, others left with hard faces, looking troubled.
Zhou Yu also prepared to leave, but at this moment, a woman’s voice came from beside him.
"Captain Zhou, please stay!"
