Chapter 1230: Road to the Force

After receiving the news, the purple-robed noble and Amaru also felt the seriousness of the situation.

The position of the high priest in the minds of many primitive people is unshakable. Her attitude represents the attitude of the sacrificial group. Once it changes direction, they can only admit defeat unless they break the deadlock violently.

In fact, in the past decade or so, many priests had already subtly leaned towards them under their influence, but who would have thought that this one would take over the position from his dying grandson.

Her prestige is not comparable to that of her incompetent grandson. It can be said that if she speaks out, most of the civilians in Kavatua will follow her, not to mention that she also has the ability to communicate with Ex.

The purple noble said: "Amaru, it seems we have to take that step."

Amaru said without hesitation: "That's how it should be."

The purple-robed nobleman's eyes showed more determination, and he said, "I will go see the high priest."

He knew that there was no time to waste. If he did not take decisive action, people's hearts would shift away. He would not underestimate the weakness of those nobles.

He went there in the evening and came back at night. Amaru had been waiting there. Seeing a hint of joy on his face, he came up to him and asked, "Did the high priest agree?
The purple noble said, "The high priest did not refuse."

Amaru followed up with, "You didn't refuse?"

The purple noble said: "The high priest is a person who will never give us a clear answer, but you can rest assured, Amaru. I have told the high priest that Dashun is here to persuade you, relying on force, but the Federation also has force.

Now the Federation is still willing to accept us and has opened a way for us, but if we refuse, then we will have no choice but to resort to armed confrontation, and at that time all the first people will have no way out.

Dashun is far away overseas, and it is impossible for them to provide military support in time. Even if they can, will they go to war with the Federation for us?"

Amaru nodded and said, "That's right. Only if the Federation is willing to accept us can we hope to survive."

The purple noble said: "Yes, we are not doing this for ourselves, but to find a way out for all the people. We are doing the right thing."

Amaru said: "Now we just have to wait for the federal people to arrive."

The purple-robed noble said, "I have already sent someone to contact them in advance, but no news has come back yet. As for the high priest, I promised to give him a response in three days at the latest."

Amaru frowned and said, "Three days, is that enough time?"

The purple noble said, "So I need to delay as much time as possible. In the next few days, I will try to lobby the sacrificial group, and we will give more of the sacrifices we promised before." He looked at Amaru, "Don't worry, if we want to deal with a demigod, the one who comes must be a demigod, so we will definitely have time."

Amaru said: "Yes, if they don't come we will just completely fall to Dashun, which they don't want to see."

"That's right." The purple-robed nobleman became more and more confident and said with a smile: "Perhaps this is the opportunity given to us by the spirits of our ancestors."

"Huh? It's raining? It's raining so heavily." Amaru looked outside. The climate of Kavatua is completely controlled by Ikus, which keeps the climate warm and comfortable all year round. Heavy rain is not very common.

The purple-robed noble said, “Perhaps this is a response from our ancestors. Such heavy rain can wash away everything that is inherent.”

Inside the Royal Manor, Deputy Captain Lu looked at the rain outside, turned around, and poured some water into Chen Chuan's cup. After putting it down, he said, "The current nobles of the First People have always been afraid of force, and therefore they are afraid of the Federation.

Little do they know that it is their ancestors’ struggles that have brought them the comfort they have today. Now they are actually surrendering for this comfort. I wonder what their ancestors would think if they knew.”

Chen Chuan said: "Times have changed. In the past, they could only find all that in the archives. They didn't have any profound experience themselves. They might empathize, but they wouldn't fight for it."

As far as he knew, the people who resisted most fiercely at that time were precisely the ancestors of this group of nobles, so their descendants had such a high say.

But what they saw was that Kavatua was declining day by day and there was no way out. They just wanted to maintain a stable and wealthy life and did not want to fight.

He picked up the cup and said, "I heard from the high priest that the Federation may be hinting to them that we are preparing to abandon them, saying that this is part of our negotiations now."

Deputy Head Lu was startled, frowned and said: "We will not give up Kavatua, otherwise there would be no need to do this."

"Whether it's true or not, they won't believe us even if we deny it."

Chen Chuan said: "They have been afraid that we would take back what we gave them, and this rumor just fits one of their concerns."

Deputy Head Lu shook his head and said, "It's not that we didn't provide them with technical support, but they were unable to build their own factory and failed to train enough technicians."

Chen Chuan said: "The old-fashioned class system, the sparse population, and the uniqueness of this region have become chains on them. In fact, they are on the wrong path. They clearly know what is right."

When Deputy Captain Lu heard this, he couldn't help but look up at the sky.

Chen Chuan took a sip of tea and said, "Only if they have military force, will they be qualified to negotiate with the Federation and with us. If they don't have military force, then we can only hope that the other party will keep their promise."

This is not without precedent. For example, the Yuanren Company and the Tianji Sect. As long as there is an upper-level power, the Federation will show enough tolerance.

Deputy Commander Lu did not speak. This is indeed a good idea, but it is also what Dashun does not want to see. If you have this, will you still be obedient? So keep it like this. Chen Chuan does not care about these. The big bombardment is coming. Even if such power cannot be used, it can stand on their side, and it can involve the Federation in a short time.

If Dashun and the Federation compete for world dominance, the Chu people may support them instead, because Kavatua is closer to the Federation and faces greater pressure, so they naturally will not feel close to the Federation.

But now, since Cavatua can't find the right path himself, it's up to him to make a choice for them.

Almost overnight, the people of Kavatua learned that Dashun and the federal representatives would hold a fair battle in the holy land under the witness of the ancestral spirits and Ikus.

The loser will no longer interfere with Kavatua's decision.

After hearing this news, many people in Kavatua were inexplicably relieved, because this news meant that both sides were serious and Kavatua was indeed valuable. And a fight between the Federation and Dashun was better than them fighting on their own.

On the morning of the third day, a man with blond hair and wearing a federal military uniform entered Kawatua on an airship led by a Holy Land warrior.

He did not see anyone. After resting here for a night, at dawn, he rode in the carriage prepared for him by the purple-robed nobles and drove to the Hatikhan Altar under the gaze of everyone.

The purple-robed noble and Amaru were also sitting in the carriage, following him from a distance.

The former asked: "Who do you think will win between the two?"

“It’s hard to say,” Amaru said.

The purple-robed noble looked at him in surprise, "Can't you sense the strength of each person?"

Amaru said: "I can feel their strength from the outside, but strength only represents absolute intensity. Many things that really determine the outcome of a fight, such as combat experience, mood, weapons used, and fighting environment, may all affect them, so I cannot accurately predict the result before the official result comes out."

"So, he is better than that one?"

Amaru looked at the figure in front of him and said, "I can be sure of this."

"That's good." The purple-robed noble felt much more at ease. Since the Federation sent people, they should be able to make decisions, right?
Amaru said, “Here we go.”

The purple-robed noble looked over and saw that the golden carriage that Chen Chuan was riding in was also coming from another road. The two sides were heading towards each other.

Chen Chuan, who was sitting in the car, saw the man who looked like a federal officer opposite him. He recognized him at a glance as the man who had spied on him before. However, as a god-like fighter, this appearance was obviously not his own.

The man also saw Chen Chuan and greeted him with a smile.

Chen Chuan nodded slightly in response.

When they reached the intersection of the avenues, the two carriages turned north almost at the same time and headed towards the Hatikhan Temple at the end of the Avenue of All Souls.

The federal officer looked outside and saw that the temples on both sides of the avenue were densely packed with people. Almost most of the nobles of Kavatua had gathered here today.

If all these people were killed, then the upper class of the Chu people would be doomed.

But this is not in the interests of the Federation. These people are nothing but bones and rotten flesh. If they are eliminated, the entire Chu people may usher in a new life with the help of Dashun, which is not what they want to see.

The carriage soon reached the steps in front of the temple. An old priest came out, with two holy warriors standing behind him. He said politely, "You two, follow me."

He spoke in the language of the Chu people, but the Holy Land warriors on both sides translated his words into Dashun and Federal languages respectively.

After saying this, he walked up the stairs.

Chen Chuan and the federal officer also followed.

Watching them walk towards the temple, many nobles were nervous, while some regretted their actions.

"Did we make a hasty decision?"

"Yes, Dashun's demigod seems to be very powerful and more handsome than the Federation's demigod. What if the Federation's demigod loses? Then we..."

The purple-robed nobles had already arranged personnel among them, and someone immediately spoke to appease them, assuring them that the Federation would definitely have a greater chance of winning this battle.

What they didn't realize was that there was a person hiding in the corner, recording every word of theirs in detail.
