Let’s not talk about the situation on the human side for now.
At this time, the top leaders of the Winged People were in chaos.
Earlier, news came from the Supervisory Office that a large number of highly concentrated magic power aggregates of the highest level in the records of the Winged People appeared in the southwest of Area Zero.
In the name of the Winged People, a collection of highly concentrated magical energy generally refers to a dragon.
The highest level of magic power collection refers to the upper dragon.
The gist of the news conveyed by the Supervisory Office was that many superior dragons were found gathered together in the southwest of Area Zero.
After learning the news, Salem specially appointed Tunguska as a scout to conduct reconnaissance in person.
Because so many high-ranking dragon knights were gathered together, sending ordinary scouts would only alert the enemy.
Tunguska's contracted partner, Yuanhonglong, is very good at hiding, so sending him there is simply the right thing to do.
After returning from reconnaissance, Tunguska announced to everyone that the human coalition had fully assembled and was ready to begin its march towards high altitude.
This news threw the Winged People, whose morale was already low, into chaos.
If it weren't for the fact that only the strong can hold high positions in this world, the military camp would have mutinied long ago.
But even so, the war-weariness within the entire Winged People tribe has reached a peak.
The high-ranking officials of the Winged People could only appease them and rushed to the palace to seek a solution from Salem.
Fight? Or flee?
They did not think that humans would choose to reconcile with them after they had attacked three kingdoms in a row.
Even if they reconcile, the leaders of this group of Winged People would probably have to die completely, leaving some Winged People as slaves and experimental materials.
They had heard that there was a human named Ashadron who valued the organs of the Winged People very much and dismembered Prince Campbell in front of the king and Prince Tunguska.
Until now, Prince Canborough is still hiding in his room and doesn't want to go out.
It seems that he has a psychological trauma from the battle that day.
"Damn it! The humans gathered so quickly! And we haven't even comforted our soldiers yet. How can we fight them?"
Salem originally thought that humans would take other actions, such as reconnaissance and slowly eroding the floating island chain.
Although the Winged People would also suffer heavy losses, at least he would have time to reorganize his army.
Instead of being like now where they have almost no power to resist.
But he didn't expect that humans would gather all their fighting forces and march directly into the sky!
Aren’t they afraid that the Winged People will break up into small groups and attack their countries one by one?
This decision was beyond Salem's expectations, which forced him to listen to other people's opinions.
At this moment, the high-ranking Winged People who came to Salem to seek a solution also came to the palace.
Therefore, all the senior leaders of the Winged People had a heated discussion about this matter.
Even the frightened Rain Dragon Knight Campborough overcame his inner fear and forced himself to come to the palace to attend the meeting.
In the chaos, the Winged People's leaders began to discuss how to deal with the current situation.
Most of them advocate strengthening defenses to deal with attacks from humans.
Others believe in taking the initiative and looking for opportunities to weaken the enemy.
But no one wanted to abandon the floating island chain and transform into a mobile force to attack the human kingdom.
Salem sat on the throne and glanced around at the noisy nobles with a hint of disappointment.
"Sure enough, in their minds, this so-called floating island chain has long been their home. The so-called counterattack against humans is just a high-sounding excuse to grab more benefits."
Salem naturally had no good words for these guys who had lost the glory of the Winged People.
"Alright! There are three options: defend, attack first and then defend, and abandon the floating island chain and break up into smaller groups to wage guerrilla warfare in various human kingdoms. Take a vote on these three."
"Now, raise your hands if you support defending the floating island chain and using a multi-layered defense circle to fight humanity to the death."
As soon as Salem finished speaking, a small number of Winged People leaders raised their hands. They were mostly nobles and businessmen, and it was in their interest to use the outer defense line for defense.
"Then those who support launching a surprise attack to weaken the enemy and then defending the enemy with all their might should raise their hands."
For this option, a small number of people also raised their hands. These people were generally officers and soldiers. Although they had no political ideas, they were still very capable in controlling the war situation.
With the current combat capability of human beings, the Winged People have no chance of confronting them head-on.
Only by taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and launching a surprise attack with the whole clan, and trying to kill one or two superior dragon knights, can the strength of both sides be equalized, and only then can we launch the next full-scale defensive war.
"So the only ones left are those who agree to abandon the floating island chain and transform into a mobile force to attack the human kingdom?"
Those who did not raise their hands nodded. They were all smart people and could naturally see that the success rate of the other two methods was not high. Only the third method could completely preserve the strength of the tribe.
Moreover, the joint army of the seven human kingdoms will definitely not last long. There are huge interest chains behind each of them. As long as they attack the human kingdom and convey the news to the coalition forces.
After the news is conveyed to the human coalition, they will definitely worry about their country being attacked and suffering losses.
As long as this idea came into being, the coalition of nobles would surely go their separate ways and return to their own countries.
At that time, they can continue with the previous steps and attack the lone upper dragon knight.
Currently, the only advantage of the Winged People is that they are much stronger than any human country, and it is easy for them to destroy a country.
But when humans unite, they really can't confront each other head-on.
Although what this group of people said made sense, the Winged nobles and merchants rejected the proposal.
It’s because almost all of their wealth and foundation are placed on the floating island chain, and the floating island is more important to them than their own lives.
If their property is gone, how can they live a superior life?
So these groups of people started arguing fiercely again, even more seriously than before.
However, many officers who supported a surprise attack followed by defense changed their minds and turned to support the smart side.
Soon, the group supporting guerrilla warfare successfully won the victory with a slight numerical advantage, setting the tone for the war.
"Alright! Following the ancient and sacred tradition of the Winged People, our next war will be based on guerrilla warfare!"
