In the end, Sui Xiong did not agree immediately.
Although he admitted that what Singh said made sense, he still felt that something was amiss.
Since he felt that something was amiss, how could he agree so hastily?
This was not a small matter like "what to eat tonight." It involved the two largest races on the Main Plane, the safety and happiness of tens of millions of people, and even the rise and fall of the two largest God Systems in the world, as well as the life and death of millions of people.
How could he easily agree to something like this just because it made sense?
Helping the elves and dwarves would not involve too much of a war. Even if a war really broke out, Sui Xiong was confident that he could use his own power and prestige to suppress the scale of the war, so that there would not be a massacre and corpses everywhere. But if it was to help the Orcs, he did not have such confidence.
The hatred between the Orcs and humans had a long history, and they could be said to be mortal enemies. It was not easy to stop the war between the two sides!
So despite Singh's repeated pleas, he finally chose to delay it. He said that he wanted to wait a little longer, and that there would be more discussions within the Republic of Northwest and the Void God System.
So the meeting came to an end for the time being. The messengers returned to the hotel, and Sui Xiong gathered the higher-ups of the Republic and the Void God System to discuss the matter in detail.
"What a pity!" After returning to the hotel, Wilder sighed deeply, his face full of regret. "If we can't finalize this matter today, it will be difficult in the future!"
Singh's face was dark and gloomy. "The Void Mask is really a stubborn person. He has obviously been convinced, but he still refuses to give in … Could it be that he has sensed something?"
"It's possible. After all, he is one of the few strong people among the gods. He must have a deep understanding of things like fate and prophecy. Although it happened in a hurry, he might be able to sense something, "Wilder said with a frown. "Now that he has more time to use for divination and prophecy, he will know more clearly. I'm worried … "
He did not say clearly what he was worried about, but Singh already understood what he meant.
"Don't think so much. We just need to do our own things." After a moment of silence, Singh said, "Even without his help, we still have to fight this war. Although there are many humans, they can't gather after all. It won't be easy for millions of soldiers to gather at one place from all directions! "
Wilder nodded. He stopped thinking about the past and began to think carefully.
He was known as the wisest Orc of the current generation, and now was the time to use his wisdom.
Almost at the same time, the high-level meeting of the Republic of Northwest was also being held.
Sui Xiong introduced the matter, and then let everyone speak freely, expressing their attitudes and ideas.
The first to speak was Olian Geerteng. The High Priestess of the Church of the God of Knowledge, who was known as a sage, said without hesitation, "I oppose supporting the Orcs. For a long time, the Orcs had been threatening the safety of the world until the Eagle Kingdom and the Kingdom of Holy Angels attacked from both sides and curbed their offensive. It is not that they have chosen peace, it is that they have been forced to. But even so, they did not give up. Everyone still remembers the bloody battle on the Day of the Sun's Death, right? That war was started by the Orc Empire! "
The Lord of Keene, Louis Keene, immediately nodded. "That's right! The aggressive nature of the Orcs would never change! Don't look at how pitiful they seem to be in a disadvantageous position. As long as they seize the opportunity, they will be fiercer than anyone else! "
"Defeating the Orc Empire and forcing the Orcs to withdraw from the Main Plane is a good thing for this world." The leader of the Alliance of Four Cities, one of the Chosen of the God of Knowledge, Owen Hart, also said, "This is not prejudice or discrimination, it is a real fact. Historically, the Beastmen were too aggressive, too intense, and too vicious. They are an unstable factor in the Main Plane! "
The three lords expressed their opinions one after another, and the atmosphere of the meeting quickly changed to a direction that was not favorable to the Orc Empire. But at this moment, the alchemist Wendy Trian, who almost never spoke, suddenly spoke.
"Humans are not any kinder than the Orcs," she said. "Aren't the humans the ones who have been invading the Ancient Forest?"
"There is also the Great Marsh, and the so-called 'border,'" Josh said with a cold smile. "Theoretically, the barbarians of the northern ice fields are still humans, but when they were 'opening up their territory,' they did not show us any mercy at all!"
"Humans call it 'opening up.' To them, 'opening up' is a great cause worthy of praise, and as for the original inhabitants of those lands, they are naturally evil creatures that need to be destroyed. " Although the necromancer Tu Ya 'an was a human, he did not have a particularly good impression of "humans" as a group. "Not to mention the alien races, even if they are of the same race, will they show any mercy when they attack? Look at the civil war in the Commonwealth of Gold Coins, both sides are humans, fighting for money, land, power, reputation … Can anyone see any kindness or kindness in them? "
"Whether it is humans or Orcs, they are essentially the same," Snow, who was a giant dragon, said calmly. As a giant dragon, Snowflake said calmly, "Race doesn't mean anything. Except for some races that are born with a strong inclination towards alignment, other races are pretty much the same. I have seen generous and heroic Orcs, and I have also seen greedy and stingy humans. Noble and despicable, kind and evil … Be it humans or Orcs, they are all filled with countless hostility and conflicts. If we judge who is worthy of help only based on race, then this judgment is mostly wrong. "
Her words ended the previous discussion, and Madam Teague also agreed with her. "We should decide what to do based on whether it is right or wrong, and not from the standpoint of race."
"Be it the Republic of Northwest or the Church of the Void Mask, they have always emphasized treating all races equally. This is one of our basic national policies, and there is no reason to change our national policy just because the Orcs and humans are at war, right? " Satan looked at everyone with a smile. "I know that many people have their own likes and dislikes. Maybe some people like humans and hate Orcs, and maybe some people are the exact opposite. But I would like to remind everyone that it is alright to have your own likes and dislikes, but it should not affect our attitude as a whole. "
The hall gradually quietened down, and everyone fell into deep thought.
Sui Xiong looked at the leaders of the Republic and the church who were deep in thought, and he sighed in his heart.
It seemed that the final conclusion was to "decide based on reason and not race."
Then, logically speaking, there was nothing wrong with helping to resist the invasion.
Should he really help the Orcs?
He still did not think so.
Now, he could only hope that the gods could give him a better opinion and help him make a decision that would make him feel at ease …
