"Don't forget, we still have plenty of time and space to grow stronger. That is also plenty of time to make a decision. The Phantom of the North might be powerful but we will have killed all three Beast Gods and consumed their flesh by then. Not to mention, material to create stronger and better weapons. Time is on our side and the choice is yours, to kill or to befriend it."
Ruishi Wang sat done when he was finished, patiently waiting for everyone to think things through.
The hall slowly grew with discussion as they all weighed their options. And with the way that the lion-kin phrased it, they had the advantage both in numbers and potential.
Above all else, there was the territory of the North.
Should they defeat this beast, that territory was open for the taking. Once that happened, the true battle would begin, a fight for supremacy.
