章 871: Chapter 870-Alliance

In Emperor Zhao's eyes, retreating was a matter for the future.

Now that the Star Beast had yet to break out of the seal, it would be a joke if the heavenly court fled without a fight.

Not to mention other things.

Just heavenly court's prestige in the hearts of all the races would be affected.

Even though this influence was very weak and did not have the power to shake the heavenly court's position.

However, a thousand-mile dam was destroyed by an ant nest.

Any slight wavering would accumulate.

One day, it would all explode out and shake the heavenly court's rule.

Therefore ...

The heavenly court could not retreat.

Especially when they retreated without a fight.

Even if they wanted to retreat, they would have to fight with the might of the heavenly court before they could retreat.

Even if they couldn't defeat the star beasts, they couldn't let others think that the heavenly court was weak and couldn't fight against the star beasts.
