I, Shura Armor, choose Belia at the beginning

Chapter 358 I Don't Agree
“I understand. I betrayed you and married into the wolf clan, the sworn enemies of the phoenix clan.”

"So you won't let this go, you'll pursue it to the end."

Phoenix knew perfectly well what had happened, and she bluntly confessed her "crimes."

Although Phoenix didn't think she had done anything wrong.

But in order to stop the war, she had to lower her stance.

"No, you're wrong. The reason we're pressing in with such a large army isn't for such a superficial reason."

"You really are a rebellious and unfilial son. What you have done has angered the old marshal to death."

"Before he died, he entrusted me with the task of eradicating all wolves in the world."

"This is the real reason we are going to war with the wolf clan, because you indirectly killed the old marshal."

Seeing that Phoenix remained expressionless and showed no sincerity in revealing her crimes, he was deeply disappointed.

Xiang Yu didn't tolerate her behavior and directly revealed a piece of news that shocked Phoenix.

"What?! Father?!"

Sure enough, after hearing Xiang Yu's words...

Phoenix, who had been calm and composed, even somewhat righteous, finally changed her expression.

This was the first time she had ever heard of this.

It cannot be said that Phoenix neglected her father.

This is mainly because the Phoenix Clan resides on a magical floating island in the sky.

The outside world has no idea what's going on inside.

The wolf spies couldn't find out anything inside.

Therefore, Phoenix is ​​now truly suffering a huge impact.

Before she came, she naively thought that she could avoid the war by relying on her relationship with her father.

But when Phoenix heard the news of her father's death, she realized that there was no room for reconciliation.

Not for any other reason than revenge.

The Phoenix Clan will crush the Wolf Clan.

"No, starting a war like this will only cause unnecessary casualties. You can't do that."

Despite her shock and grief, Phoenix did not forget the purpose of her journey.

She wanted to stop the war, because war is harmful to both races.

She is not only protecting the wolf pack.

It's also about protecting the Phoenix Clan.

"Phoenix, you're nothing but a traitor. What right do you have, and by what authority do you command me?"

"Don't forget, you are no longer the clan chief's daughter, the princess of the Phoenix Clan."

"I am simply carrying out the old patriarch's last wish. No one in the Phoenix Clan can stop me now."

Xiang Yu didn't listen to what the phoenix said at all.

His seemingly dignified and righteous words weren't solely for fulfilling the old clan chief's last wish.

It's also for their own sake.

The old clan chief died of anger, leaving the Phoenix Clan leaderless.

At this time, the highest-ranking member of the clan was Xiang Yu, who was a general.

Logically speaking, the first in line to inherit the Phoenix Clan's throne is Princess Phoenix.

But the Phoenix married Hades, betraying its kind.

Therefore, Xiang Yu saw an opportunity.

As long as he fulfills the old clan chief's last wish.

He could then naturally become the next leader of the Phoenix Clan.

Therefore, for his own future, Xiang Yu had to fight this battle.

"No, I have the right to command you. Although I have made a mistake, I am still the princess of the Phoenix Clan."

"Don't forget, it's clearly written in the ancestral precepts of the Phoenix Clan."

"The raging fire can burn away the sins of every Phoenix Clan member."

"As long as I am willing to undergo the ritual of being burned alive, I will be free of sin, and I will still be the princess of the Phoenix Clan."

"I can let you take me back and burn me, so I am still a princess."

"Now, as the princess of the Phoenix Clan, I order you to withdraw your troops."

"Never again shall a war be waged against the wolf clan!"

Just as history had previously dictated, the phoenix chose to sacrifice itself.

However, she wasn't foolish enough to self-immolate to seek redemption.

Instead, she issued an order based on the ancient teachings of the Phoenix clan. According to the Phoenix's explanation, Xiang Yu indeed had to obey her now.

However, this was also the last order Phoenix issued.

After the Phoenix Clan retreats, the Phoenixes will be taken to their ancestral home to have their sins burned away.

Well... this move actually served Xiang Yu's interests.

He started the war because he wanted to become the clan leader.

Although Xiang Yu didn't say it on the surface and appeared righteous, that was what he really thought.

The old clan chief's dying wish was just a pretext.

The words of a dead person have little binding force.

In addition, Xiang Yu had already inherited the superpower lock from the old clan chief at this time.

He was even less likely to wage war for a so-called dying wish.

It depletes the strength of the Phoenix Clan that it is about to inherit.

His so-called war was merely a pretext for a legitimate claim to the throne.

The conditions that the phoenix mentioned perfectly aligned with Xiang Yu's interests.

As long as the phoenix dies.

Xiang Yu was able to obtain the position of Phoenix Clan Chief without shedding a drop of blood.

Moreover, it was in accordance with Phoenix's orders.

He can gain a legitimate cause without waging war.

This is a perfect solution for both parties.

You can get what you want without shedding blood.

Xiang Yu thought it was a worthwhile deal no matter how he looked at it.

Although that's not what Phoenix really thinks.

However, from Xiang Yu's own perspective, this was indeed a good thing.

"You must be insane! Would you really go to such lengths for Hades?!"

Although Xiang Yu was satisfied in his heart, he still performed his duties very well on the surface.

His expression was one of shock, even a hint of anger and disappointment at their lack of ambition.

There was no way Xiang Yu would agree immediately if Phoenix said that.

Then his inner thoughts would be seen through by others.

The show that needs to be done still needs to be done.

"Do you intend to disobey orders?"

At this moment, the phoenix's tone was no longer one of discussion, but rather one of command.

Her gaze was firm, exuding the air of someone in a superior position.

After all, she was a princess, and after marriage she would be the matriarch of the wolf clan, so she still had that much authority.

"Alright, as long as you are willing to go back and be baptized by fire, I will obey your command."

Seeing that the act was almost over, Xiang Yu stopped pretending to be shocked and nodded in agreement very seriously.

According to the rules of the Phoenix Clan.

There's nothing wrong with his current behavior.

Even absolute loyalty and adherence to rules.

"What's so good about it? I won't agree."

Just as Phoenix was about to be taken away, a discordant voice suddenly rang out in the room.

Upon hearing this, the Phoenix Warriors instinctively looked in the direction from which the sound came.

Then they saw a man dressed in silver-black armor.

A domineering figure with a silver-purple cloak suddenly appeared at the edge of the cliff.

The speaker was none other than Huo Linfei, who had been observing for a long time.

Huo Linfei had wanted to jump out for a long time, but under Yun Shen's persuasion, he only appeared at the right time.

This creates a sense of urgency and the awe-inspiring presence of a god descending to earth.

In layman's terms, showing off at a crucial moment is much more effective than suddenly appearing out of nowhere.

After all, the atmosphere of tragedy and despair was well-developed in the preceding paragraphs.

Huo Linfei's appearance at this time was like a savior sent from heaven.

"And who are you? I advise you not to meddle in the affairs of our Phoenix Clan, or you'll be dead before you leave here."

Seeing his plan about to be completed ruined, Xiang Yu glared at Huo Linfei with some anger and said.
