The harsh words were spoken, but Sui Xiong did not really lose his alertness.
He knew that the eldest brother's worries were well-founded.
Before that, his enemies were nothing more than the nobles. Relying on the two groups of citizens and merchants, even without using divine power, he was confident that he could defeat the noble 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 such as "land reform", he would become the empire building of aristocratic society. It will immediately turn into a castle on the beach, and it will fall down as soon as you push it.
However, if you add those forces that hate the undead, the situation will be different.
The principle that if the name is not correct, the words will not be correct, is universal in any world. The nobles came to trouble the Northwest Republic. It was an ordinary political struggle. No matter whether they won or lost, it did not involve good or evil. It was a lower-level dispute. But if it rises to the conflict between the living and the undead, it will involve ideological fields such as good and evil, life and death. At that time, it is very likely that some good gods who previously supported him will also change their stance and become his enemies.
Of course Sui Xiong is not afraid of making enemies of good gods. He is not the kind of idealist who clings to kindness and never lets go. If necessary, he does not mind using evil means - such as using skeleton laborers. , in this world it is definitely an evil method, even on earth, I am afraid it cannot be regarded as a kind one.
In the same way, if necessary, he wouldn't mind beating up the good gods until they bowed their heads and admitted defeat, and didn't dare to chirp any more.
It's just... If it's not absolutely necessary, he really doesn't want to be an enemy of the good gods.
Defeating or even destroying evil gods is a satisfying thing. But defeating or even destroying good gods is completely different.
Even though they were a group of ignorant old-fashioned people, Sui Xiong still didn't want to fight with them, let alone kill them in the end.
So after a moment's thought, he sent his avatar to contact the good gods to explain the skeleton labor problem in the Northwest Republic.
"Alas! Gods are much more troublesome than humans!" He complained while thinking about what to say, and couldn't help but frown a little.
The development of things is generally much better than Joel Gardman expected. Probably because Sui Xiong's previous battle was too intimidating, the gods of the evil camp did not take advantage of this opportunity to jump out and stir up trouble and provoke a "Void Mask Crusade".
However, the negotiations with the kind gods did not go smoothly.
Although Sui Xiong tried very hard to explain, and especially emphasized that the skeletons were not made from the corpses of the deceased, but came from the natural storage of the Ash Forest, among the kind gods, those who were willing to accept his explanation, understand and support his actions There are also very few.
Fortunately, although most of the kind gods did not support his behavior, they did not object severely. In fact, many gods were not willing to meet Sui Xiong at all, or were unwilling to discuss it in detail when they met, and just dealt with it casually. He was very embarrassed by serving tea and seeing off the guests after just a few words.
But this is enough. For Sui Xiong, as long as those kind gods don't turn against him, his goal will be achieved.
Of course he doesn't want to make the whole world enemies, but he really doesn't 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 with or at least do not object to his actions, that is enough.
As for others... Haha, even though Brother Xiong seemed to be eager to explain everything, in fact, he still had what he said before.
If you don't accept the fight, I will continue!
If you negotiate with this idea in mind, the effect of the negotiation will naturally not be much better. The gods of this world are different from the politicians on earth. For their respective ideals, they are not afraid to fight to the last moment and will never give up even if they die.
On earth, a small country armed with a big killer weapon can threaten the surrounding powerful countries. Even if they adopt the attitude of "the worst case scenario is to trigger a global nuclear war", they can force the world's three major powers to sit down and negotiate with themselves, because politicians, plutocrats and bureaucrats... everyone is afraid of death, and no one is afraid of death. They are all afraid that their power, status and wealth will be wiped out in a large-scale nuclear war.
But in this world, for the gods, the situation is completely different.
Gods of nature are better off. Gods of faith are a group of idealists who are stubborn to the core. As long as they believe in something, they will not hesitate to risk their own lives.
If we are not sincere to our ideas, how can we transcend the world? How can we 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 about a dozen gods who expressed clear hostility towards him. If nothing unexpected happens, the Northwest Republic continues to use skeleton labor on a large scale, which is likely to attract a collective siege from one or a few of them, or even all of them, and even their allies.
"Haha, before I know it, it seems that there is going to be another siege by the gods..." Sui Xiong looked at the list he made. On it were the names of the gods and their die-hard allies. It was possible to take advantage of this. The names of the gods who had the chance to besiege themselves.
It’s densely packed, and it’s a large piece of writing.
He smiled and waved his hand, and the paper with his name disappeared into ashes.
"I have said and done everything I should say and do. From my personal point of view, it is almost the most benevolent and righteous." He said with a smile, "If anyone else insists on coming to trouble me, then You can’t blame me.”
As the ancient dragon goes, the end of the road is the end of the world, and the end of the words is the sword. Sui Xiong felt that he had finished speaking. If he continued to speak, he would have to use a knife to speak.
Coincidentally, Brother Xiong is quite good at this kind of negotiation.
With this idea in mind, he passed down the oracle and asked the Masked Void Church to prepare for a possible war.
Of course, what Sui Xiong could think of, Leon and others could also think of.
Their knowledge may not be as good as Joel Gardman's, and they probably don't know how the wizard who tried to establish the undead labor system was destroyed, but this does not prevent them from understanding the problems faced by the Northwest Republic at all.
The Grand Archons had heatedly debated on more than one occasion over whether to abolish the large-scale use of skeleton labor.
Finally, Leon put an end to the controversy.
"The rise of a strong man will inevitably impact the sphere of influence of the established strong men. There is only so much meat in the pot. If you eat it, others will not have to eat it." He said, "We have always been in the civilized world. The border areas of the country have developed quietly, so they have little conflict with others. But as the Northwest Republic further develops and grows, sooner or later it will compete with other countries for resources, and sooner or later a war will break out."
As he spoke, he looked around at the great consuls who either supported or opposed: "Everyone, I think it is better for us to fight late than to fight early. The earlier we fight, the less likely it is that our enemies will be too large. The bigger you are, the more certain your victory will be.”
"Take advantage of this opportunity to force some potential enemies to jump out first, and beat them painfully to frighten them. In the long run, it will be beneficial and harmless!"
His words, coupled with Sui Xiong's oracle, put the final word on this controversy.
As a result, the Northwest Republic, the Church of the Mask of the Void, and their huge war machines began to slowly operate...
