Chapter 785 - 785 Who Agrees And Who Objects?
785 Who Agrees And Who Objects?
At that moment, the atmosphere in the Great Hall was peculiar. No one said anything, causing the Great Hall to be filled with deathly silence.
Meng Wushen scanned the Great Hall and said in a deep voice that sounded like muffled thunder, “I’ve gathered everyone here because my brothers from the other tribes have sent news that the nearby Kingdom of Dawn is arrogant and doesn’t know respect. They think they can compete with us and wantonly kill and banish all the tribes. With the Kingdom of Dawn as the center, the area within tens of thousands of miles had become the back garden of the Human race. They think we’re easy to bully, and they dared to sneak into my City of Gold and kidnap my son. They’re simply bullying us Orc race too much. I am going to destroy the Kingdom of Dawn and slaughter the Human race!”
His voice was filled with deep killing intent and almost irrepressible anger. His golden eyes swept across the Great Hall as he coldly and domineeringly asked, “Who agrees and who objects?”
With just one sentence, the pressure on the leaders and representatives of the various races in the Great Hall multiplied.
It felt like a storm was coming, pressing heavily against them, making it hard for them to breathe.
“The Kingdom of Dawn has always been arrogant and merciless to our races, killing at will. If the Kingdom of Dawn were given a chance to grow, it would someday become a major threat to us. I agree to attack the Kingdom of Dawn and exterminate the Human race!”
The Werewolf race’s leader agreed without hesitation. He had no reason to disagree. The Werewolf Race had suffered too many losses at the hands of the Human race. He didn’t know how many of their clansmen had died. They had long been in a relationship of irreconcilable hatred.
“I also agree! However, the Kingdom of Dawn isn’t weak. The Orc race should form an alliance and destroy all Human race’s cities. No matter how strong the Human race is, they can’t possibly be a match for our allied forces.” The Gnoll race’s leader said coldly.
Like the Werewolf Race, the relationship between the gnolls and the Human race was also terrible. There was almost no room for reconciliation. Moreover, they had been coveting the Human race’s resources and wealth for a long time. Now that they had the opportunity, they were naturally willing to interfere.
“The Human race’s combat power can’t be underestimated. Not long ago, the Kingdom of Dawn’s Castellan led an army and forced a bloody path back from the Ice City under the joint attack of all our races. Therefore, the strength of the Human race is by no means ordinary! The most terrifying thing is that the war weapons created by the Human race are too great of a threat to us. We have to think of a way to deal with them before the war, or the casualties will be immense. Or else we’ll suffer great losses after defeating the Kingdom of Dawn, and the other races will benefit.”
The Winged-human race powerhouse’s eyes flickered as he spoke after some thought.
The battle back then had left them with a deep impression. Especially those powerful war weapons, which really scared them, and they didn’t dare to start a war easily.
A sea of Rune Bombs and talismans, countless Rune Arrows, and so on appeared, causing much damage. In their opinion, more than half of the Human race’s combat power came from those powerful war weapons. Without those powerful war weapons, the Human race’s strength would be reduced by half, and it would definitely not be as terrifying as they had shown. It would then be much easier to deal with them.
That was what many races feared the most about the Kingdom of Dawn. They had a natural disadvantage in that aspect that was difficult to make up for.
The damage would be too great if they were to face those war weapons and attack forcefully. Not to mention whether they could conquer the Kingdom of Dawn in the end, they would definitely suffer great losses. In such a chaotic world, if their race sustained heavy losses, it was equivalent to the danger of extinction at any time.
The consequences of doing so would be too severe. Even if they won against the Kingdom of Dawn, the benefits wouldn’t be able to make up for their losses.
Of course, in some wars, benefits were not the only thing considered. However, it was clear that such a time had yet to come, so they naturally had to consider more.
That was also why the other races didn’t dare to act rashly against the Kingdom of Dawn. The Kingdom of Dawn had the ability to perish together with them.
Under such an invisible check and deterrence, no one would act rashly. At most, they would resort to some underhanded means. Unfortunately, such methods couldn’t shake the foundation of the Kingdom of Dawn and were quickly suppressed. In fact, a group of Straw men even appeared out of nowhere.
Now, the Straw men existed in almost all the cities within 10,000 miles of the Kingdom of Dawn. There were Straw men in every village and town. With the protection of the Straw men, even if those villages and towns couldn’t set foot in the wilderness, they could reclaim wasteland nearby and plant rations. Naturally, the Straw men would help to guard the rice fields.
Such a situation made the civilians in the villages and towns more loyal to the Kingdom of Dawn. They knew that those changes were brought about by the Kingdom of Dawn. The civilians’ morale in the surrounding areas also leaned toward the Kingdom of Dawn for that reason.
Those Straw men were also a huge threat to the various races.
News of the Straw man army annihilating the rat army of a million had long since appeared in the hands of the various races, and the news had spread like wildfire.
All of that made the Orc race even more fearful of the Kingdom of Dawn.
“Elder Hu, what do you think?”
The Behemoth King, Meng Wushen, suddenly looked at a Fox-human race elder. That was the Fox-human race’s Great Elder. Their race had always been known for their shrewdness and cunningness. Among the various races, the Fox-human race was their brains.
To be able to become the Fox-human race’s Great Elder, the individual was naturally not simple. It wasn’t just about being old and having high qualifications.
The older a fox was, the more cunning it was. That was not just empty talk.
“Behemoth King, our Fox-human race has weak constitutions, and we cannot contribute much on the battlefield. If we were to fight in this war, I’m afraid our Fox-human race would not be able to participate in the head-on battle. However, we can manage the logistics and provide some ideas.” The Fox-human race’s Great Elder’s eyes gleamed as he nodded towards the Behemoth King.
Now that the Behemoth King had personally started the war, the Fox-human race couldn’t stay out of it since they were all under the Orcs’ bloodline. After all, the Golden Behemoth was one of the Orc Royalty and had a high status. If one didn’t follow the order given by the Behemoth race, they would be offended. As such, the Fox-human race would have a hard time in the Orcs’ bloodline.
With the shrewdness of the Great Elder, how could he possibly do something like cutting off his own retreat?
However, he didn’t want to make an enemy of the Human race too.
With his shrewdness, how could he not see that the Human race was developing at an astonishing speed? Furthermore, all kinds of foundations were emerging endlessly. Once they had enough time, they would definitely become a colossus and reach an astonishing level. They did not intend to participate in a head-on confrontation. Making a blood feud with the Human race would be too unwise.
Caught in between the two, the only thing he could do was not directly participate in the war nor be at odds with the Orcs. He could not even devise any plans, only managing the logistics. That was also considered an expedient method.
