Banner of the Evil God

The harsh words were spoken, but Sui Xiong did not really lose his vigilance.

He knew that his elder brother's worries were well-founded.

Before this, his enemies were nothing more than the nobles. Relying on the two groups of citizens and merchants, even without using divine power, he had the confidence to defeat the aristocratic society and create a new era.

Although the power of the nobles is spread all over the main plane, and even extends to many other worlds, to deal with them... Sui Xiong felt that as long as he released a big killer weapon like "land reform", the empire building of the aristocratic society would immediately become a castle on the beach, which would fall down with a push.

However, if those forces that hate the undead are added, the situation will be different.

The principle that if the name is not right, the words will not flow is universal in any world. The nobles came to trouble the Northwest Republic, which was an ordinary political struggle. Whether winning or losing did not involve good and evil, and belonged to a lower-level dispute. But if it rises to the contradiction between the living and the undead, it will involve the ideological fields of good and evil, life and death. At that time, it is very likely that some kind gods who supported him before will change their positions and become his enemies.

Sui Xiong certainly wasn't afraid of being enemies with the good gods. He wasn't the kind of idealist who would cling to goodness. If necessary, he wouldn't mind using evil means - for example, using skeleton laborers was definitely an evil means in this world, and even on Earth, it wouldn't be considered good.

Similarly, if necessary, he wouldn't mind beating up the good gods until they bowed their heads and admitted defeat, and didn't dare to complain anymore.

But... if it wasn't absolutely necessary, he really didn't want to be enemies with the good gods.

Defeating or even destroying the evil gods was a pleasant thing. But defeating or even destroying the good gods was completely different.

Even if they were a group of ignorant old-fashioned people, Sui Xiong still didn't want to fight them, let alone kill them in the end.

So after a little consideration, he sent his clone to contact the good gods and explain the skeleton labor problem in the Northwest Republic.

"Alas! Gods are much more troublesome than humans!" He complained, thinking about what to say at that time, and couldn't help but frowning.

The development of things, in general, was much better than Yorgadman expected. Perhaps because the deterrent power of Sui Xiong's previous battle was too great, the gods of the evil camp did not take this opportunity to jump out and fan the flames and provoke the "Void Mask Crusade".

However, the negotiations with the good gods were not smooth.

Although Sui Xiong tried hard to explain and emphasized that the skeletons were not made of the bodies of the dead, but came from the natural storage of the Ash Forest, there were only a few good gods who were willing to accept his explanation, understand and support his behavior.

Fortunately, although most of the good gods did not support his behavior, they did not oppose it very severely - in fact, many gods did not want to see Sui Xiong at all, or did not want to talk in detail when they met, but just perfunctorily said a few words and served tea to send him away, which made him lose face.

But this is enough. For Sui Xiong, as long as those kind gods do not turn against him, he has achieved his goal.

Of course, he does not want to make the whole world his enemy, but he really does not care about the so-called "friendship" with these guys.

For him, as long as he coordinates with his friends, as long as his friends agree or at least do not oppose his approach, that is enough.

As for others... Hehe, although Brother Xiong seems to be in a hurry to explain everywhere, in fact, he still has the same words in his heart.

If you don't agree, come and fight, I will continue!

With such an idea to negotiate, the effect of negotiation will naturally not be very good. The gods in this world are different from the politicians on Earth. For their own ideals, they are not afraid to fight to the last moment, and they will never give up even if they die.

On Earth, a small country holding a big killer can threaten the surrounding powerful countries. Even if they put on an attitude of "at worst, it will trigger a global nuclear war", they can force the world's three major powers to sit down and negotiate with them honestly, because politicians, chaebols, bureaucrats, etc. are all afraid of death, and they are all afraid that their power, status, and wealth will be wiped out in a large-scale nuclear war.

But in this world, the situation is completely different for the gods.

Natural gods are better. The gods of faith are a group of idealists who are stubborn to the bone. As long as they are determined, they will not hesitate to risk their lives.

If they are not sincere in their ideals, how can they transcend the mundane world? How can they arouse the resonance of the source of the world and create an immortal priesthood?

So it is really not easy to convince the gods of this world.

Sui Xiong was busy for a long time, and finally counted that there were about a dozen gods who expressed a clear hostile attitude towards him. If nothing unexpected happens, the Northwest Republic will continue to use skeleton labor on a large scale, which is likely to attract one or several of them, or even all of them, and even the collective siege of their allies.

"Haha, before I know it, it seems that the gods are about to attack again..." Sui Xiong looked at the list he had drawn up. On it were the names of the gods, their loyal allies, and the names of the gods who might take this opportunity to attack him.

It was densely written, a large area.

He smiled, waved his hand, and the paper full of names disappeared into ashes.

"I have said and done what I should say and do. From my personal point of view, I have done my best." He smiled and said, "If anyone still insists on making trouble for me, then you can't blame me."

Ancient dragons say that the end of the road is the end of the world, and the end of words is the sword. Sui Xiong felt that he had finished speaking, and if he continued, he would have to speak with a knife.

Coincidentally, Brother Xiong is quite good at this kind of negotiation.

With this idea in mind, he passed down the oracle and asked the Void Mask Church to prepare for the possible war.

What Sui Xiong can think of, Leon and others can certainly think of.

They may not have as much knowledge as Yor Gadman, and they probably don't know how the wizard who attempted to establish a deadly labor system was destroyed, but this does not prevent them from understanding the problems facing the Northwest Republic.

The archons had fiercely debated more than once about whether to abolish the practice of large-scale use of skeleton labor.

In the end, Leon put an end to the debate.

"The rise of a strong man will inevitably impact the sphere of influence of the old strong men. There is only so much meat in the pot. If you eat it, others will have nothing to eat." He said, "We have been developing quietly on the edge of the civilized world, so we have not had much conflict with others. But as the Northwest Republic continues to grow and develop, it will sooner or later compete with other countries for resources, and sooner or later war will break out."

As he said, he looked around and looked at the great archons who either supported or opposed: "Everyone, I think it is better for us to fight early than late. The earlier we fight, the less likely our enemies will be too large, and the more secure our victory will be."

"Take advantage of the current opportunity to force some potential enemies to jump out first, and hurt and scare them. In the long run, it will be beneficial rather than harmful!"

His words, coupled with Sui Xiong's oracle, put an end to this dispute.

So, the huge war machine of the Northwest Republic and the Church of the Void Mask began to operate slowly...
