“But so many of our people have died. I can’t accept it. They were all our people. We can’t let them die in vain.” Yan Cheng raised his face and looked at Wu Li.
"So, are we going to sacrifice our entire barbarian race for the sake of those hundreds of thousands who have already died?"
“You should know what kind of battle Qin Ze fought. He never shows mercy to his enemies. In the battle of Yanluo Mountain, in addition to the annihilation of our barbarian army, the troops sent by the Jin family were also wiped out.” Wu Li had now put away his grief and his eyes were as sharp as knives.
Yan Chengxin was unwilling and said:
"Although the Jin family is not what it used to be, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. Now that the time has come, they will surely send all their troops to suppress Qin Ze's isolated army!"
"In my opinion, what Jin Pingwu said was not entirely false."
"At least for now, most of Qin Ze's troops are not here."
Wu Li shook his head and sneered: "That's because you've only seen the tip of the iceberg!"
"Since the Jin family lost Jinling and fled to Nanze, their military strength has long been diminished. So why would Qin Ze bring only a small number of troops to fight such a crucial battle?"
"If he were truly such a fool, he wouldn't have won those previous battles!"
"Jin Ziyi previously said that Qin Ze landed at Nangang with a thousand warships. The fact that they have so many warships is beyond the realm of common sense."
"It is obvious that he must have extremely strong strength to come here this time, so that he can be fearless and go deep into the heartland, instead of attacking from Jinling, but coming from the sea."
"The Jin family, who are hiding in Nanze, are now like stray dogs, about to be destroyed. That's why they sent troops to ask for help. This world is about to fall completely into Qin Ze's hands. At this time, if my barbarian tribe stands with the Jin family, we will only face destruction. But if we choose to follow the Yan Kingdom, we may still be able to find a glimmer of hope."
These words clarified the advantages and disadvantages, and the clansmen in the room all echoed them.
“The chieftain is right. Things are different now than before. Driven by the general trend, our barbarian tribe should also follow the trend at this time.”
"The Jin family is about to be destroyed. At this time, our barbarian tribe cannot fail to see the situation clearly."
Seeing the crowd chiming in with their opinions, Yan Cheng's face, which had been gradually calming down, flushed with anger again. He roared fiercely:
"You all say that, doesn't anyone think about avenging the King and the others?!"
"Are we just going to let our hundreds of thousands of people die in vain in those mountains hundreds of miles away?"
"Their souls still wander in the mountains, their bodies are devoured by wild beasts. If we do not make an example of these dead people, how can they rest in peace in the afterlife!"
"Are we, the barbarians, destined to swallow our pride and submit to the enemy?!"
These angry words shocked everyone, and the voices of agreement immediately stopped. Yan Cheng stared at them, his gaze sweeping over them one by one. Some of them lowered their heads, their faces showing shame.
Yan Cheng looked at Wu Li again, his anger only increasing.
Wu Li's expression was somber, and he said coldly upon hearing this:
"Yan Cheng, are you absolutely certain that my barbarian tribe will send troops to attack Qin Ze and his people?!"
Yan Cheng stood his ground, clenching his fists and shouting angrily:
"beat!"
"How can we swallow this insult!"
"The brave men of my barbarian tribe never fear war, and even if they die on the battlefield, they will never yield!"
"No matter how many troops Qin Ze has, we will fight with all our might, vowing to fight him to the death!"
"No matter what you say, I believe there are still brave men in our tribe who dare to follow me into battle!"
At this point, Yan Cheng, enraged, pointed to his own neck and roared:
"Chieftain, if you insist on not sending troops, then please cut off my head right now!"
"I'm dead! You can stay in the Southern Barbarian lands in peace and welcome the enemy to enslave us!"
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone's expression changed, and someone immediately stepped forward and said, "General Yan, you can't say that. You are from my barbarian tribe..."
Yan Cheng pushed the man aside and shouted angrily, "Either kill me! If you don't kill me, then I can't just stand by and watch my barbarian tribe be enslaved!"
"Clan leader, you make the decision!" He stared intently at Wu Li.
Wu Li looked at the furious Yan Cheng and shouted:
"So what if we send troops to fight? Just like the Jin family said, we'll suppress the rebels, cut off Qin Ze's head, and avenge the king and the others?"
"Leaving aside the fact that it's almost impossible, even if it did succeed, so what?!"
Yan Cheng's face stiffened; he couldn't quite understand what was being said.
But Wu Li continued, shouting:
"The Kim family is incompetent and corrupt, having lost most of their territory. They are no longer capable of controlling the war!"
“Besides this place, there are still a bunch of rebels in other places that they can’t suppress. My barbarian tribe is already severely weakened. If we get involved, it will only result in the death of more than one-tenth of our people. Even if the Jin family rises again in the future, who will be our enemy then? What will my barbarian tribe gain from these wars?!”
Yan Cheng was speechless when questioned, and Wu Li continued angrily:
"Enmity! Endless enmity!"
"Until, as you say, all of my barbarian tribes have died on the battlefield, and our entire race has vanished, then it will truly be over!"
"Compared to the Jin family, who have lost the hearts of the people and regard us as so-called 'barbarians,' I hope that after the Great Gan changes hands, my barbarian tribe can be treated more equally!"
"I don't know what Qin Ze intends to do with us. If he treats us as slaves, then we'll fight him to the death. If he treats us as human beings, as part of this land, then our barbarian tribe will surely prosper!"
