Banner of the Evil God

In the end, Sui Xiong did not agree immediately.

Although he acknowledged that Singer had a point, he still felt something was wrong.

Since he felt something was wrong, how could he agree rashly?

This is not a trivial matter such as "what to eat tonight", but involves the two largest races in the main plane, the safety and happiness of tens of millions of people, and is even directly related to the rise and fall of the two largest pantheons in the world, millions of A matter of life and death.

How could you easily agree to something like this just because it “makes sense”?

Helping the elves and dwarves would not involve too big a war. Even if a war did break out, Sui Xiong was confident that he could use his own strength and prestige to suppress the scale of the war and prevent it from being filled with corpses everywhere. But if he helps the orcs, he won't have this confidence.

The hatred between orcs and humans has been around for a long time, and they can be said to be life-and-death enemies. It is easier said than done to prevent the war between the two sides!

So despite Singer's repeated pleas, he finally chose to delay, saying that he would wait a little longer, and there would be further discussions within the Northwest Republic and within the Void God System.

So the meeting came to an end temporarily, and the envoys returned to the hotel to stay, while Sui Xiong summoned the senior officials of the Republic and the gods to discuss the matter in detail.

"What a pity!" After returning to the hotel, Wilder sighed deeply with regret on his face, "If we can't finalize this matter today, it will be difficult to follow up!"

Singer's face was as dark as water, full of gloom: "Void Mask is really a stubborn person. He has been convinced, but he still refuses to let go... Could it be that he has noticed something?"

"It's possible. After all, he is one of the few strong men among the gods. He must have deep knowledge in fields such as 'destiny' and 'prophecy'. Although the incident happened in a hurry, maybe he can sense it. Wilder said with a frown, "Now that He has more time to spend on divination and prophecy, he will be able to know more clearly..."

He didn't make it clear what he was worried about, but Singer already understood what he meant.

"Don't think so much, we just do our own thing." After a moment of silence, Singer said, "Even without His help, we still have to fight this battle. Although there are many humans, they can't do anything about it after all. Gather together. It’s not that easy to gather millions of troops from all directions!

Wilder nodded, no longer thinking about what had happened in the past, and started to think carefully.

He is known as the wisest man among contemporary orcs, and now is the time to use his wisdom.

At about the same time, a high-level meeting of the Northwest Republic was also being held.

Sui Xiong introduced the matter, and then allowed everyone to speak freely and explain their attitudes and thoughts.

The first person to speak was Orian Gelten. This high priest of the Church of the God of Knowledge, who is known as a sage, said without any hesitation: "I am opposed to supporting the orcs. For a long time, the orcs have been threatening the security of the world until The Eagle Kingdom and the Holy Angel Kingdom fought from both sides to contain their offensive. This was not because they chose peace, but because they were forced to make peace. But even so, they still persisted in their evil intentions - everyone still remembers "The Sun Goes Out." The bloody battle in Japan, right? That war was started by the Orc Empire!"

The Lord of Keen, Louis Keen, nodded immediately: "That's right! The aggressive nature of the orcs will not change! Even though they are at a disadvantage now, they seem very pitiful. As long as they seize the opportunity, they will be more ferocious than anyone else!"

"Destroying the orc empire and forcing the orcs to withdraw from the main plane will be a good thing for the world." Owen Hart, leader of the Four Cities Alliance and one of the electors of the God of Knowledge, also said, "This is not prejudice or discrimination. It’s a real fact. Historically, orcs are too aggressive, too fierce, and too fierce. They are a destabilizing factor in the main plane!”

The three lords expressed their opinions one after another, and the atmosphere of the meeting quickly changed in a direction unfavorable to the Orc Empire. But at this moment, the alchemist Wendy Terrian, who almost never spoke, suddenly spoke.

"Humans are no more kind than orcs." She said, "Aren't they the ones who have been invading the Ancient Forest?"

"There are also great swamps and the so-called 'border'." Qiao Xiu said with a sneer. "Theoretically, the barbarians in our northern ice field are still human beings, but when they 'opened up their territories', they didn't do anything to us. A little mercy!”

"Humans call it 'pioneering'. To them, 'pioneering' is a great cause worthy of praise. As for the original residents of the land, they are naturally evil creatures that need to be eliminated." Necromancer Tua Although An is a human being, he does not have any special affection for the "human beings" group. "Don't say they are aliens, even if they are of the same race, will they show any mercy when they attack? Look at the civil war in the Gold Coin Federation, both sides They are all human beings, looking for money, land, power, reputation... Can anyone see any kindness or kindness in them? "

"Humans and orcs are essentially the same." Snowflake, a giant dragon, said calmly, "Race doesn't mean anything. Except for some races with strong innate alignments, other races are actually the same. I have seen generous and heroic orcs, and I have also seen greedy and stingy humans. Noble and mean, good and evil... Whether it is humans or orcs, they are full of countless hostilities and conflicts. If you judge who deserves help based solely on race, then this judgment is mostly wrong."

Her words ended the previous discussion, and then Mrs. Teague also agreed with her statement: "We should judge from the rightness of things. Decide what to do, not from the standpoint of race. "

"Whether it is the Northwest Republic or the Church of the Void Mask, they have always emphasized treating all races equally. This is one of our basic national policies. There is no reason to change our national policy just because orcs and humans are going to war, right?" Satan Mage smiled and looked at everyone, "I know that many people have their own likes and dislikes. Maybe some people like humans and hate orcs, and maybe some people are just the opposite. But I want to remind everyone that it is okay to have your own likes and dislikes, but it should not hinder our attitude as a whole. "

The venue gradually became quiet, and everyone fell into thinking.

Sui Xiong looked at the senior officials of the Republic and the Church who were thinking, and sighed secretly in his heart.

It seems that the final conclusion is "deciding by reason rather than race", right?

Then, in terms of reason, there seems to be nothing wrong in helping to resist aggression.

Do we really have to help the orcs?

He still doesn't think so.

Now, I can only hope that the gods can give him better advice and help him make a decision that can make him feel at ease...
