Just now, Diwu Qingrou and Mo Tianji were constantly contemplating and calculating the Law Sovereign's crazy actions, thinking about how to break the situation and disrupt the calculations. The more they thought, the more helpless they felt, unable to come up with a solution. The more they pondered, the more they found themselves at a loss. Because no matter what they did, the outcome was exactly what the Law Sovereign wanted to see; every reaction only accelerated the impending disaster.
Thus, the two had become somewhat dejected, even confused: perhaps this was the common flaw of those adept at strategy—once they realized that the cunning of others couldn't be countered, they would think of giving up.
This game was destined to fail; they could just regain their advantage in the next one. As for the current situation, there was no need to waste more resources. It was already doomed to be futile, so why expend that effort and resources?
In their hearts, the two had already concluded to abandon the situation, but at this moment, Chu Yang appeared out of nowhere and boldly said: "Even if it is a futile effort, we must still try. Reducing harm by even a little is still a reduction! Every small bit counts!"
This statement lacked any imposing momentum but demonstrated the most primitive and fundamental persistence of being human.
Faced with an enemy who was far too powerful to match, so what?
It was just a battle!
Even knowing that death was inevitable, knowing that defeat was certain, so what?
It was just about fighting!
With calamities besieging the world and humanity perishing, knowing hope was slim, we must still strive to try. Even if it’s impossible to turn the tide, the outcome is already set; we must still do our best to maneuver and do everything possible to minimize the extent of the losses!
That’s all!
Without Mo Tianji and Diwu Qingrou, Chu Yang could still strategize.
Without the two of them, Chu Yang would still prevail from a thousand miles away!
Without a strategist, Chu Yang was still Chu Yang. Otherwise, how would the Chu Imperial Seat have come into being that day?
Mo Tianji and Diwu Qingrou were positioned as strategists, the wise ones.
But Chu Yang balanced both roles.
I am a wise one and also a warrior. I can be a strategist or a vanguard. I am a marshal, yet also a soldier!
In the face of the enemy, a warrior can only respond as a warrior would.
It is simply about fighting.
Regardless of the final outcome!
Striving to fight is the priority!
"Good!" Mo Tianji and Diwu Qingrou responded in unison.
Now that the decision was made, there was nothing left to hesitate about.
Chu Yang decisively determined the leading guidelines for the next steps.
Originally planning to let the two advisors suggest some ideas and formulate targeted strategies, he didn’t expect that both wise men had already given up in their hearts, so now, only he could charge ahead bare-chested.
"Fifth Brother, after you return, immediately explain the current real situation to the members of each great clan, and propose ways to concentrate our forces as much as possible." Chu Yang pondered for a moment, "Just follow what was said before. As for how they plan to do it, that’s up to them. Their fates are already sealed. If they fight for a chance, they might have a sliver of hope. If they give up even that, it would mean the extinction of the nine great clans..."
Diwu Qingrou nodded, indicating understanding.
"Mo Tianji, after you go back, immediately arrange for everyone to act separately, trying their best to see if they can find the Law Sovereign." Chu Yang’s expression darkened.
This was unavoidable. Even knowing the chance of finding the Law Sovereign was extremely slim, they still had to try, hoping for a stroke of luck, pinning their hopes on a possibility!
Because there was only one way to eliminate this calamity. But everyone knew this method, yet no one would say it aloud. Because it was simply impossible.
The only way was: the Law Sovereign personally ordering the abandonment of this operation!
