After Fishing For 10 Years, I Became A Saint Without Knowing How To Raise Beasts - Chapter 529
529 Referendum
Cofuran was not bothered about what everyone thought of her.
She simply said, “I think there’s definitely a traitor among us.”
“But I don’t think I need to say who this person is.”
“Everyone probably has their own judgment and guesses, so it’s useless to start accusing others.”
“Certain people don’t want the war to end, and certain people are benefiting from the war. As such, the war will continue.”
“That person does not care about the citizens of the moon god race, nor does he care about the myriad races, believing himself to be the center of the world.”
“As long as his own selfish desires remain unfulfilled, this war will continue forever.”
“As representative of the shrine faction, I will say that if this situation continues, then there is no need to continue these meetings.”
“The shrine faction will not participate in any more meetings, and will not be communicating with either faction regarding this matter either. You’ve let us and the moon god race down.”
After she said this, the Great Lord and the members of the Elder Council looked at her in shock.
She then continued, “The war has continued for far too long. We’ll be holding a vote soon. The entire population will choose a faction to carry out their plan, and the other two factions will not have the right to oppose that plan.”
The Great Lord cursed inwardly, but maintained a tactful expression.
“Saintess, although it may be a little inappropriate for me to say this at this time, it is clear that our meetings can still continue. The situation has not reached the final stages, so we should not put this matter to a vote.”
It was obvious that the Great Lord still wanted to win over the shrine faction at this time in order to gain an advantage over the Elder Council.
With that, it would be 2v1, and not to mention that the vice-general was one of his men.
At this moment, an elder spoke up, “I’m sorry, Great Lord, but things have already reached a critical point, and we’ve lost 20% of our total population.”
“It’s also evident that the people do not trust us to alter the course of this war.”
“Also, you should be aware of the moon god race’s laws. Furthermore, General Prometheus’ whereabouts are unknown. It is time to trust the people.”
When the elder said this, the Great Lord’s expression darkened.
The elder looked around and his eyes fell on the vice-general. When the vice-general tried to avoid his gaze, the elder looked at the other members of the Elder Council.
He then added, “Sometimes, we think too highly of our chances of victory, and sometimes, we think too highly of our chances of failure.”
“Regarding the current situation, I feel that our moon god race has a 30% chance of winning this war.”
“Let’s see what our moon god clan’s race’s citizens decide.”
“Now…”
“The meeting is adjourned.”
It was obvious that this elder was a smart person.
He knew that someone in the Elder Council must have leaked some secrets, so the eight of them did not trust each other to begin with.
At the same time, he knew that the Great Lord had ulterior motives.
At this moment, the only one that could be trusted was the Saintess.
As such, if the moon god race chose the shrine faction to be their leader, the war should resolve itself in due time in accordance with the shrine faction’s plan.
However, if they chose the Great Lord or the Elder Council…
This would be very troublesome.
Cofuran did not say anything, and she turned to leave with the rest of the shrine maidens.
In his heart, she was wondering when Yuchi would visit the moon god race, as his presence here at this time would be very useful.
However, soon it would all be in the hands of the people.
“In any case, the fact that Yuchi has not appeared means that it is not time yet.”
“The current time node is still too early, and we cannot make rash decisions on anything.”
The Great Lord was in a very bad mood. He had originally thought that he could use this opportunity to force the Elder Council into a corner.
He did not expect things to have turned out this way.
“However, you’re all thinking too optimistically. Have you all forgotten whose portrait is hanging on the wall?”
“It’s not you guys!”
“It’s me!”
“When the time comes, just watch me sweep the votes. Once I’ve secured full control of the moon god race. I’ll deal with you all as well as the Knights of the Round Table.”
…
While the moon god race was fighting openly and secretly, things were different at the Sea of Oblivion.
A group of demigods were playing cards, and they were having a great time.
“Why has my luck been so bad recently? I always lose.”
“Stone Golem, are you using the heavenly Dao?”
“Impossible! I would never cheat!”
The atmosphere was relaxing.
Meanwhile, outside a certain room, there was a woman standing there quietly. This woman had two faces, one in front and the other behind.
Obviously, these women were Hong Yan and Hei Yan. They were staring out at the vast mountains in front of them, feeling quite relaxed. At this time, they were also having a discussion.
