Chapter 575 (2/2)
“We have special medicines for that.”
“Then it’s not a problem.” Sui Xiong gave his answer before asking again, “But… aren’t you afraid they’ll cause trouble?”
The God of Runes let out a hearty laugh. “We dwarves have never feared anyone causing trouble before. Those with the guts can go ahead and try—if they aren’t afraid to get beaten next week, that is!”
It was then that Sui Xiong remembered that the Dwarf Race all had natural-born strength. Even if those Orcs did try to cause trouble, they’d have to first consider the difference of strength between them.
So it was decided. Sui Xiong gave those Isis members who’d been sentenced to labor in the Kingdom of Dwarfs a few days to prepare, then he used his Divine Power to send them over.
What somewhat surprised him was that although there had only been twenty thousand people in his original exile plans, those who were willing to go to the Kingdom of Dwarfs ultimately numbered to almost fifty thousand.
This was because many Orc families relied on their men for support; with the man gone, unless his wife remarried, the family would quickly fall apart. In order to avoid such a huge risk, those families decided to all move together to the Kingdom of Dwarfs.
The Dwarf Race could be said to have a relatively good reputation; despite their somewhat violent tempers, there had never been any talk of dwarves bullying or murdering the weak. They’d probably be able to start brand new stable lives after moving to the Kingdom of Dwarfs.
Situations like this weren’t uncommon, and Orc families often had seven, eight or even over ten people. This was how twenty thousand people became fifty thousand.
The God of Runes was very sorry after hearing about this, and asked, “Your Majesty, the Void Mask… could you send the families of those that were previously executed to our Kingdom of Dwarfs as well?”
Sui Xiong was somewhat puzzled and asked why he wanted so many people. This wasn’t just three hundred or five thousand people—this was many tens of thousands!
The God of Runes let out a sigh and explained that the biggest problem for the Kingdom of Dwarfs was a low population. Because of their years’ long war with the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs, they were seriously lacking people. They’d reached a point now where they would love to be able to split one person into two, one to focus on childbirth and the other to take charge of battle.
Once these Orcs came to the Kingdom of Dwarfs, whether for birth or for battle, they’d most definitely be of use.
Putting aside the birthing part, if they did become soldiers, there was no way they’d hesitate in fighting the human armies of the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs.
Even if their military force was lacking, and they were unable to be good soldiers, they could always take positions as auxiliary forces, like the military supply force or something.
There were many among the Orcs who were adept at traversing mountainous regions; they traveled over land and water as easily as walking on flat earth. People like that would definitely fit the requirements for a military supply force, regardless of their lower fighting strength.
Having received this reminder, Sui Xiong helped him announce the news: the Kingdom of Dwarfs was willing to enlist Orcs for permanent residence, with job opportunities, a stable pay and accommodation provided.
As for how many people this piece of news could recruit once distributed, the Kingdom of Dwarfs could handle that themselves.
Once he’d had these fifty thousand people sent to the Kingdom of Dwarfs and the kingdom’s soldiers and civil affair officials took over, Sui Xiong count this affair as finished.
After worrying over this for many months, killing tens of thousands of people, and exiling tens of thousands more, this historical incident—called “the Destruction of Isis” by a few historians—was finally put to an end through relatively peaceful means. This led those who’d been hoping to see everyone get slaughtered all at once to be a little unsatisfied, but it led those who’d frowned upon Sui Xiong’s previous massacre to secretly heave sighs of relief.
As for the negative effects, the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs expressed that the Void Mask helping the Kingdom of Dwarfs was an unfriendly action towards their kingdom; that was about it.
But that didn’t matter; who cares!
Sui Xiong truly had no idea that they were the core force making connections and plotting against the Republic of Northwest!
