As soon as these words were spoken,
the various commanders on the City Lord's side immediately echoed their approval, agreeing with this sentiment.
Mapel, however, let out a cold laugh, "Negotiations might be what the Human Clan desires, but they aren't necessarily what the Undead want. Otherwise, why would they keep dragging this out?"
"Of course, we need to prioritize peaceful resolutions. What else would you suggest? Should we attack them? Do you think we'd win?" another local minister said.
The bishop of the Church spoke up at this point, saying, "Compromising would merely mean giving the Undead money to better arm themselves. When the time comes, they'll only grow stronger."
When the Church spoke, none of the local ministers dared to rebut.
Unlike the Mage Association, which rarely shows up, offending the Church could really cost someone their life.
City Lord Fulbin wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, "Then what should we do?"
Both sides fell silent.
