Chapter 264 (1/2)

According to the God of Light’s plan, the war attacking the Sun God would take place at the same time as the final battle between the Orc Empire and the Eagle Kingdom. At that time, all the Gods would have their focus distracted by this large battle in the human world, thus creating the best chance for them.

Sui Xiong had some thoughts about this. He felt that they had many allies and therefore a huge advantage. They could attack all at once until they reached higher ground; the Sun God might even give up before team fighting was necessary. But the God of Diplomacy told him that although everyone was fighting for justice and truth and they were not afraid of sacrifice, it was still better not to have anybody die unnecessarily.

“So then mortals should be sacrificed?” Sui Xiong asked Wor after the God of Diplomacy left. “It still feels wrong somehow.”

“I felt that using the big war in the human world would increase the probability of winning the Gods’ war. I think the strategy is workable,” Wor said. “The Orcs and humans would fight after a period of time anyway; 50 or 60 years if it was short, and 100 years in the long run. We don’t even know how many times they’ve fought each other. It doesn’t seem to be a big thing anyway if there is one more fight. In comparison, attacking Cloud City is actually more dangerous. The scale is much bigger, and this is more important.”

Sui Xiong thought for a long time and nodded his head unwillingly.

“What about our original plan? The plan to gather and protect refugees,” he asked.

“These matters can be passed to the church to deal with,” Wor said matter-of-factly. “The battle attacking Cloud City needed both Your Highness and me. Just the two of us. But the job of gathering and protecting refugees in the human world is indeed work for the church. These two matters can be done at the same time, they do not interfere with each other.”

Sui Xiong pondered for a while. This was reasonable.

Moreover, it seemed that they could use the job of gathering and protecting refugees to cover their attack on Cloud City. Nobody would think that the two Gods of Void Mask, Sui Xiong and Wor, would attack the Sun God when the Void Mask Church was busy transferring and settling down refugees.

What a perfect diversion!

However, jobs Sui Xiong and Wor could have done to help would then depend on the church members. That meant that the workload would increase immensely, and everyone would be working very hard.

Sui Xiong hurriedly took time before the war started to hold meetings and arrange work. He temporarily became a construction worker and built houses for the refugees to stay in.

In the pursuit of efficiency, this time he built apartments that were in Earth’s style. They had four floors each, with eight units on each floor. Each unit had three rooms and one hall, with a total area of about ninety square meters. This type of apartment really had no aesthetic feeling whatsoever but was effectively livable.

Sui Xiong even made basic furniture for the apartments. They were all rough and of solid wood. They would most likely be a selling point if they were placed on Earth, but here they could only be used for everyday needs.

In half a month’s time, he had finished building about 1,000 apartment buildings. It was enough to accommodate a few thousand families.

Housing accommodation was the most difficult thing to ensure for the refugees. Once this was settled, the rest was easy.

Clothes? The refugees had their own clothes. The weather in the Void Mask Theme Park was temperate within the magical array. The winter clothing from the Eagle Kingdom was enough.
