Sui Xiong didn't really lose his vigilance after hearing the harsh words.
He knew that his elder brother's worry was very reasonable.
Before this, his enemies were only the nobles. Relying on the two groups of citizens and merchants, even without using divine power, he was confident that he could defeat the aristocratic society and create a new era.
Although the power of the aristocrats was spread all over the Main Plane and even extended to many other worlds, to deal with them … Sui Xiong felt that as long as he used a big weapon like "land reform," the empire building of the aristocratic society would immediately become a castle on the beach, easily toppled.
However, if those forces that hated the dead were added, the situation would be different.
The principle that if the name was not justified, it would not be justified was universal in any world. The aristocrats coming to the Republic of Northwest to make trouble was an ordinary political struggle. Whether they won or lost, it did not involve good or evil, and it was a relatively low-level dispute. But if it escalated to the contradiction between the living and the dead, it would involve the ideological fields of good and evil, life and death. At that time, it was very likely that some good gods who had previously supported him would also change their position and become his enemy.
Of course, Sui Xiong was not afraid of being enemies with the good gods. He was not an idealist who clung to the good and refused to let go. If it was necessary, he did not mind using evil means. For example, using skeleton labor was definitely an evil means in this world. Even on the earth, it could not be regarded as a good method.
For the same reason, if necessary, he didn't mind beating up the good gods until they bowed their heads and did not dare to make any more noise.
It was just that … if it was not a last resort, he really did not want to be enemies with the good gods.
Defeating or even destroying an evil god was something that made people feel good. But defeating or even destroying good gods was a completely different matter.
Even if they were a group of ignorant old fogies, Sui Xiong still did not want to fight with them, and he did not want to end up killing them.
So after a little consideration, he sent a doppelganger to contact the good gods and explain the problem of skeleton labor in the Republic of Northwest.
"Alas! Gods are much more troublesome than people! "He complained while thinking about what to say when the time came, and could not help but frown a little.
Overall, the development of things was much better than what Yorgaardman had expected. Probably because the deterrence 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 to provoke the "Void Mask Crusade."
However, the negotiations with the good 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 dead, but from the natural storage of the Ashes Forest, few of the good gods 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 were not willing to see Sui Xiong at all, or even if they met, they were not willing to talk in detail. They just said a few perfunctory words and sent him away, which made him feel very embarrassed.
But this was enough. For Sui Xiong, as long as those good gods did not turn against him, he would have achieved his goal.
Of course, he didn't want to make the whole world his enemy, but he really didn't care about the so-called "friendship" with these guys.
For him, as long as he coordinated with his friends, as long as his friends agreed or at least did not oppose his way of doing things, it was enough.
As for others … Haha, although Brother Xiong seemed to be explaining everywhere as if there was a fire burning his eyebrows, in fact, in his heart, he still said the same words before.
If you are not convinced, come and fight, I will accept!
With this kind of idea to negotiate, the effect of the negotiation naturally would not be good. The gods in this world were different from the politicians on the earth. For their own ideas, they were not afraid to fight to the last moment, and they would never give up even if they died.
On the earth, a small country with a big killing weapon could threaten the surrounding strong countries. Even if they put on an attitude of "at worst, it's no big deal to cause a global nuclear war," they could force the three big countries in the world to sit down and negotiate with them. Because whether it was the politicians or the bureaucrats … everyone was afraid of death, and everyone was afraid that their power, status, and wealth would be destroyed with a large-scale nuclear war.
But in this world, the situation was completely different for the gods.
The gods of nature were a little better, but the gods of faith were a group of stubborn idealists. As long as they determined something, even if they had to risk their lives, they would not hesitate.
If they were not sincere in their ideas, how could they transcend the mortal world? How could they trigger the resonance of the source of the world and cast an immortal priesthood?
So it was really not easy to convince the gods in this world.
Sui Xiong was busy for a long time, and in the end, there were about a dozen gods who expressed a clear hostile attitude toward him. If nothing unexpected happened, the Republic of Northwest continued to use skeleton labor on a large scale, it was very likely to attract one or a few of them, or even all of them, or even the collective siege of their allies.
"Haha, unknowingly, it seems that there will be another siege of the gods …" Sui Xiong looked at the list he made. On it were the names of the gods, their hardcore allies, and the names of the gods who might take advantage of this opportunity to besiege him.
It was densely written, and a large piece of it was written.
He smiled and waved his hand, and the paper full of names turned into ashes.
"I have said and done what should be said and done. From my personal point of view, I have almost done my best," he said with a smile. He smiled and said, "If anyone insists on making trouble for me, then don't blame me."
The ancient dragon said that the end of the road is the end of the world, and the end of words is the end of the sword. Sui Xiong felt that he had finished what he wanted to say, and if he continued, he could only use the sword to speak.
Coincidentally, Brother Xiong was quite good at this kind of negotiation.
With this idea in mind, he passed down the oracle and let the Church of the Void Mask train their troops and prepare for the possible outbreak of a war.
What Sui Xiong could think of, of course, Leon and the others could also think of.
Their knowledge might not be as good as Yorgaardman's, and they probably did not know how the wizard who tried to establish the undead labor system was destroyed, but this did not prevent them from understanding the problems faced by the Republic of Northwest.
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 this debate.
"The rise of a strong person is bound to impact the sphere of influence of the old strong people. There is only so much meat in the pot. If you eat it, no one else will have anything to eat, "he said. "All along, we have been quietly developing at the edge of the civilized world, so there is not much conflict with others. But with the further development of the Republic of Northwest, sooner or later, it will compete with other countries for resources, and sooner or later, war will break out. "
As he said this, he looked around at the archons who were either supporting or opposing him. "Everyone, I think that for us, it is better to fight earlier than later. The earlier we fight, the less likely it is that the scale of our enemies will be too large, and the more secure our victory will be.
"Take advantage of the opportunity now, first force some of the potential enemies to jump out, beat them until they are afraid. In the long run, it is beneficial and harmless! "
His words, together with Sui Xiong's oracle, sealed the coffin of this controversy.
So, the huge war machine of the Republic of Northwest and the Church of the Void Mask began to slowly operate …
