Chapter 518 (2/2)

They made a lot of sense. Although Sui Xiong thought that it was meaningless to think about such far away things, he was still convinced by them. He promised that unless the situation was particularly urgent, he wouldn’t use his noumenon. At most, he would send an avatar like what the other gods did.

As a result, the long-term threat disappeared, but the present danger was bigger.

On the side of the Republic of Northwest, the high-end force under the gods was quite strong. With a Legendary Peak as the lead, there were about twenty Legendary Masters. There were warriors, knights, and mages, and they had a perfect combination.

However, the problem was that they lacked demigods who were at a higher level. Moreover, the combat force was also insufficient at the mid and high level.

No one should be blamed for that. It had been less than 50 years since the establishment of the Void Mask Land. How many talents could they accumulate in such a short period of time? They had attracted many outstanding masters from the two Fighter Championships. Otherwise, the situation of the Republic of Northwest would be much worse.

Whenever he thought of this, Leon, the chief commander of this war, felt a little stomach ache. To be honest, he wished that the enemies would jump out now and fight with him with sharp weapons. If so, he was confident that he wouldn’t lose even if he fought with a demigod.

However, the enemies obviously wouldn’t do what he wanted. Therefore, he had to be worried while stepping up the intensity of military training.

Leonard, who presided over the training work, didn’t take the upcoming war to heart at all. He thought that it was nothing important. The enemies would come over, the two sides would fight, and a large group of people would be killed. Wasn’t that normal? There was nothing to be worried about. It was normal for people to die in wars.

From a certain point of view, what he thought was right. People died in wars. After a war, it was common that blood flowed everywhere and for there to be a lot of corpses. Void City had experienced many wars. However, as a result, not a single person had died. That was something uncommon and unbelievable.

Sui Xiong hoped that no one from his own side would die, and so did Leon. The top class of the Republic of Northwest and the Church of Void Mask thought so, too.

The Republic of Northwest was located in the northwest of the Main Plane. It was at the border, far away from the civilized world. This new country was the sustenance of their ideals. They hoped that the country could be peaceful and safe. The residents here could live and work in peace and contentment. Even though it was ridiculous and even though it was naive, they still didn’t want ordinary residents to die in this war.

“In this case, you should surrender to them,” Leonard said.

Sui Xiong showed a bitter smile and said nothing.

Leonard’s idea was right, but there was something he couldn’t understand. There was a fundamental contradiction between the republican system and the feudal system. This contradiction was totally irreconcilable. Even if he wanted to give in, the others wouldn’t agree.

At first glance, this incident of skeleton labor seemed to be his own arbitrariness. He insisted on speeding up the construction, and that led to this trouble. However, behind this dispute, almost all the countries on the whole continent and almost all the rulers were unanimously hostile to the Republic of Northwest.

The current Republic of Northwest was actually a tiger which was standing in a wolf pack. As long as it showed any weakness, it would be surrounded and killed. Therefore, Sui Xiong knew that he could temporarily resolve this crisis as long as he stopped using skeleton labor. However, he was definitely not willing to do that because he couldn’t lower his head, and the Republic of Northwest couldn’t lower its head either.

The new order that they symbolized couldn’t lower its head!

Only through repeated battles could he blind the eyes that were peeking at the Republic. He would break the hands that reached out for the Republic. He would kill all the guys who were hostile to the Republic. Then, he could relax, and the Republic could also relax.

Peace never came from compromises. Peace came from fights.

The green jellyfish was crouching on the conference table. He closed his eyes, and it seemed like he was sleeping. However, there was an extremely cruel sneer on his lips.
