Hearing this, everyone finally stopped arguing and turned their attention to the chairman of the Treasure Pavilion.
"Let us not forget, in this relic, there may be that legendary treasure, something beyond what money can measure."
The chairman said solemnly, "My idea is to feign cooperation with the Blood Corpse Pirates, negotiate, buy time; meanwhile, have the Mercenary Empire send troops to rescue the few hundred people from the exploration team first."
"Pirates are cowards that bully the weak; they dare act recklessly in the North Sea, bully seven small countries. When they encounter a tough opponent, they know the differences."
Afterwards, we'll have the Human Alliance Military threaten the Magma Emperor, so the pirates withdraw when facing difficulties and the relic will still be ours."
Everyone nodded in agreement, with no one opposing this plan.
In short, first, rescue the several hundred members of the exploration team.
