So, on one hand, you help Zhao Ya, win and get Huangzhou Prefecture, but the threat is the Zoroastrian Sect's revenge.
On the other hand, you become a lackey for the Zoroastrian Sect. If you win, you're a small leader; if you lose, you're cannon fodder, crushed by the full might of the court.
The last option is to pretend to be neutral, and then both forces see you as a thorn in their side and unite to destroy you.
In the struggle between the two great forces, you want to remain neutral.
The Four Great Sects and the Four Dragons and Eight Tigers of Huangzhou Prefecture faced that fate; they were exterminated before the war even began!
So, it seems like Chen Jie has a choice, but in reality, there is no choice at all. Every path is a dead end. To survive, he must save himself. In this chaotic world, no one can escape!
