Chapter 267
C267 – He Took the Initiative to Attack
Loong Chen didn’t question Chen Qingtian’s words, nor did he see the need to.
Such matters didn’t trouble him; Chen Qingtian and the Green Cloud Legion posed no threat.
It was akin to a person unperturbed by squashing an ant, unconcerned about potential retaliation from the ant’s kin.
To Loong Chen, Chen Qingtian and the entire Green Cloud Legion were insignificant.
Chen Qingtian’s issue was merely a distraction. Once all the army commanders convened, the meeting turned to more pressing matters.
Seated at the head, Loong Chen led the assembly without opposition.
“I’ve gathered you all here for one purpose.”
Loong Chen addressed the commanders, who listened intently.
He directly stated his intent.
“You’re aware of the Dark Parliament’s growing agitation. Their intentions remain unclear.”
“Yet, I’m unconcerned with their plans. If they seek trouble, we shall respond with greater force.”
“Thus, our sole agenda today is to launch an offensive on the western continent!”
Loong Chen’s declaration stirred the crowd.
It wasn’t that they opposed such action, but none dared to broach the topic.
They had long been on the defensive against the western continent and the Dark Parliament.
Always reactive, they had never initiated an attack.
It wasn’t that they hadn’t considered initiating an attack, but they recognized its futility.
The Dark Parliament wielded immense power, leaving the human faction struggling to defend, let alone counter.
“Given the impending major move by the Dark Parliament, why don’t we proactively dismantle them and restore peace to the people of the eastern continent and beyond?”
With silence prevailing, Loong Chen pressed on.
Indeed, this was his intent. By launching an offensive, he aimed not only to enhance his own strength but also to aid humanity.
“Palace Lord Loong, your proposal sounds straightforward, but execution is daunting. The Dark Parliament harbors numerous formidable experts, drawing diverse races from ancient civilizations. Their collective might surpasses our own.”
Finally breaking the silence, an elderly figure rose, speaking with resignation.
Seated at the foremost position beneath Loong Chen, this elder held the highest rank among all Commanders.
Reserved for the Star Glory Army, the seat symbolized authority, now occupied by the newly appointed commander.
Formerly, the Star Glory Army’s leader fell in battle, leading to this new appointment.
Loong Chen swiftly recognized his status: an Emperor Level Beginner Grade, marginally superior to the previous Star Glory Commander.
The new commander showed genuine respect towards Loong Chen, stemming not from pretense but from witnessing Loong Chen’s triumph over the Star Glory Emperor.
Having observed the confrontation between Star Glory Emperor and Loong Chen from a distance, he held Loong Chen in high regard.
The defeat of Star Glory Emperor by Loong Chen left no room for disrespect.
The sentiments expressed by the Star Glory Commander mirrored those of all present Commanders. Ending the conflict was their collective desire.
Alas, it remained a mere aspiration.
