The elder's words were extremely venomous. When he said those words, the atmosphere in the meeting hall turned tense.
Many warriors of the Desolate race were already standing up. As for the human warriors, they had subconsciously pressed down on their interspatial rings.
Actually what the human elder said was on many humans' minds.
Wasn't it ridiculous to sacrifice an entire race just for a girl!?
Shepherd Boy stood silently in front of Jiang Xiaorou. His gaze was locked onto the human elder who had just spoken. His eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"Uncle Qing!" Jiang Xiaorou held onto Shepherd Boy.
There were many Human race experts present. Although it was impossible for them to fight, by causing a racial rift, it would be extremely disadvantageous to the future resistance against the Black-armored Demon God. This was something Jiang Xiaorou did not wish to see.
"Sorry, I spoke without thinking it through, but good advice is usually jarring to the ears. What I said was true. If your Highness were to let your entire race perish because of a girl, I don't think that is justifiable!"
After all, this was the Desolate race's territory, so the human elder did not dare insist too firmly. However, despite him apologizing, he did not mean to take back his words.
The former Desolate Queen pressed her hand on the table. A slight chill was revealed from her beautiful face.
She had yet to make the necessary arrangements on this matter, but the matter had already been pointed out by a legendary figure from the Human race at the meeting. She was, without a doubt, placed in an extremely disadvantageous position.
Jiang Xiaorou remained silent. At this moment, what else could she say?
She could sense that every human present gave her a gaze that resembled a needle.
When their lives were at stake, people found it difficult to accept perishing en masse in order to save a young girl's life.
"You said that I'm ignoring the principles of caring for my race?" The former Desolate Queen sneered while standing up. "I might as well tell all of you that the Black-armored Demon God is indeed eyeing Xiaorou, and I have already guessed the reason."
When Jiang Xiaorou was locked onto by the Black-armored Demon God, Jiang Xiaorou's mother had already thought of the reason. The world was so large, filled with numerous geniuses. Why would the Black-armored Demon God eye Jiang Xiaorou?
The only possibility was that it had to do with Jiang Xiaorou's father.
Jiang Xiaorou's father, who came from the 12 Empyrean Heavens, was not an ordinary mortal. The child he left behind might have something that the Black-armored Demon God needed!
However, the former Desolate Queen would not explain these things. If Jiang Xiaorou's father was mentioned, then there would be even more people who would plot against Jiang Xiaorou.
"Have you not thought that capturing Xiaorou would necessarily be helpful for the Black-armored Demon God? Not long after, the Black-armored Demon God will return once again, and when that happens, the Black-armored Demon God would be even more powerful than now! Handing my daughter over to him will lead to disastrous consequences!"
The former Desolate Queen may love Jiang Xiaorou, but she was the Desolate Queen after all. She could not simply sacrifice her Desolate race just for Jiang Xiaorou. She had her own reasons.
"What your Highness says makes sense, but… forgive me if I'm being straight. Even if what your Highness suggests is true, we actually also have other means of avoiding this scenario…
