After visiting the thatched cottage, Xisilia was not in a hurry to visit Wang Wang's hospital again. While she sent scouts to investigate the traces of 300,000 orcs heading south, she summoned all the civil servants and generals in Yushuang City to discuss a way out. "...Uncle Shicai has already told you the contents of the two talks.
Currently, the freezing clouds in the sky are dissipating, and the snowstorm is no longer a fear.
But the future of Yushuang City is still unclear. There is a false king in the south, a beast enemy in the north, and an ambitious tiger master outside the city.
It can be said that we are facing enemies from both sides, internal and external troubles."
Hiselia gave a general description of the situation.
Although she is the city lord and the leader of the rebel army, it is the representatives of these aristocratic families who can support Yushuang City.
In Valyaliha and even the past dynasties, the aristocratic families in this area were actually fighting for power. The kings and city lords had to rely on these local forces who had lived here for generations to maintain their status and power.
Identity.
This is the limitation of a small country. It is always family politics.
"City Lord, the situation is already imminent. I dare to ask, are you pragmatic or imaginary?"
The old man who was looking at the thatched cottage, who was also Xisilia's uncle, asked her.
"How can we be pragmatic? How can we be practical?"
Hiselia doesn't quite understand this, she only knows how to kill the enemy bravely.
"Pragmatism means making an alliance with the son of Her Royal Highness Princess Yulia, obeying his will, rejecting the false king in the south, and resisting the orcs in the north.
The advantage is that hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Yushuang City can save their lives, but the disadvantage is that they are humiliated by other human forces and will be involved in the orthodox battle of the Orc Kingdom.
Xiangxu expelled Princess Yulia and the others from Yushuang City. As humans and orcs, they are incompatible.
Its advantage is that it can protect our reputation, but its disadvantage is that hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Yushuang City have lost their heads."
The old man is the oldest person in the conference hall. The fact that he still wants to seek political power at such a seventy-year-old age shows that Yushuang City is at the end of its rope.
"Swerving to the orcs and marrying them will indeed harm our reputation, but it may not be a bit cruel to gamble with the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians.
Moreover, the white tiger orc is very smart. His performance these days has won the favor of the soldiers and people in the city. If they are driven out angrily, there will be resentment among the people."
Hiselia had indeed thought about the possibility of heroic sacrifice before.
"As you said, the tiger master is cunning and intelligent, and he convinces people with his virtue, and he is not an ordinary person who shows off his power.
If we drive them out, if they are attacked by orcs or false kings in the future, the people in the city will miss his kindness.
Not all soldiers and civilians have generous aspirations, most people just want to live a peaceful and contented life.
The reason for opposing the Puppet King is also this. If the Puppet King hadn't imposed extortionate taxes and was greedy, how could the people of Yushuang City resist?
The people have always been the most vulnerable. If they are not forced to the extreme, how can they fight against the strong?"
The old man sighed. Whoever becomes the king has nothing to do with the people. At most, it is just a conversation piece after dinner. When you put your hands into the people's pockets, the people can only suffer a loss. But if you want to take away the people's pockets, what does that have to do with killing your parents?
Difference.
"City Lord, instead of surrendering to the Tiger Lord, it is better to negotiate peace with the Puppet King. At least we are still human beings."
Someone in the conference hall suggested.
"Stupid!"
The old man snorted coldly.
"This..."
The person who made the suggestion immediately shrank his head.
"Even if Lord Xisilia can die generously to win leniency from the puppet king to Yushuang City, do you think the werewolf tribe who killed three thousand wolf orcs will swallow their anger?
Aren't you going to become a piece of meat offered to the werewolves of the north by the false king?"
The old man asked back.
"Didn't the city lord make many friends when he was studying in the Holy Empire? If Yushuang City is willing to join them, it might open up the situation."
Someone else suggested in the conference hall.
"Indeed, there was no promise of benefit in just asking for help before. If we offer it from all sides, the result may be unknown."
Immediately afterwards, someone echoed.
"Be smart!"
The old man refuted again.
"Uncle, I think this method is feasible. If the whole city surrenders, there will definitely be someone who is tempted."
Xisilia asked, she, like everyone in the hall, did not want to be attached to the orcs. No matter how wise Wang Wang was, he was not a human being.
"Of all the countries in the world, who is willing to take on this hot potato? Swallowing Yushuang City means becoming an enemy of the New Valyaliha Kingdom, and at the same time, we must always worry about the orcs from the north moving south.
The geographical location of Yushuang City is destined to be a bottomless hole.
Forget about the small countries around New Valyaliha, they have no strength. If a big country takes over the outer enclave of Yushuang City, New Valyaliha will definitely join forces with the surrounding countries to attack.
Even if there is a country that is willing to take over, I am afraid that it will take advantage of the situation, seize the benefits, and then leave.
There is indeed nothing left to rob in Yushuang City, but those countries can use this to blackmail New Valyaliha and surrounding countries and use Yushuang City in exchange for benefits. New Valyaliha and other countries that were robbed by Ming will cooperate in the future
Send troops to burn Yushuang City to the ground to end this scourge.
This is the last resort and is beyond foolish!"
The old man was so angry that he was blowing his beard and staring, Xisilia actually agreed with those people who had no independent opinions.
"Uncle, please don't be angry. Uncle, don't be angry. Can't I just listen to you? According to your analysis, we can only rely on that white tiger wizard?"
Xisilia quickly admitted her mistake and made the old man angry, which she couldn't bear.
"Dependence? No, no, it cannot be called dependence, but we are in the same boat.
The tiger master is a half-blood prince who is not recognized by the orcs in the north. The orc kingdom has already had a new king, but he claims to be the emperor of the Zulong Empire. Naturally, he has ambitions for hegemony.
However, with only 300,000 orcs, it is difficult to make an enemy.
But he is a virtuous master. If he feeds war with war, he will definitely be able to grow from weak to strong.
The key lies in his strength. There are only ten shamans with such power as him. What does this mean?
Will wizards be enemies with him? It’s terrifying to know that he is less than one year old!
To be able to gain 300,000 orc fans in less than a year after its birth, there must be a story in it."
The old man immediately became friendly after mentioning Wang Wang.
"But to welcome him into the city, we must accept his intermarriage policy and allow the people of Yushuang City to intermarry with the orcs... Even if we agree, the people will not agree."
Hiselia was troubled. Will her uprising end with her living with the orcs?
"He will definitely not force the people to accept intermarriage, but will gradually convince the people with gentle methods. As long as one person believes, ten people will believe it.
But the key is not the miscegenation policy.
If we want to accept the Tiger Lord and let him lead 300,000 orcs into Yushuang City and strive for world domination, we must seek huge profits.
Otherwise, the future of Yushuang City will be dominated by strong beasts and weak men.
Since he wants to combine with humans, he must achieve equality between humans and orcs."
The old man looked at Hiselia up and down, stroking his beard constantly.
"You said what you had to say, and after going around in circles, it turns out that you already had an idea."
Xisilia suddenly realized that this uncle was already confident that he could make humans and orcs on an equal footing. How could such a thing be accomplished?
"Okay, I'm so shameless now.
Lord Xisilia, you want to marry the Tiger Lord. If you are his wife, if he becomes emperor, then you will be the queen. If his Ancestral Dragon Empire can accept humans as queens, the humans of Yushuang City will be their queen.
On an equal footing with the orcs.
This matter must be mentioned from now on, otherwise once the Tiger Lord takes root in Yushuang City, your influence will gradually decline, and it will be difficult for you to become the Ancestral Dragon Emperor.
Moreover, this matter must be handled with great fanfare. A banquet was held outside Yushuang City, a wedding was held in front of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians of Yushuang City and 300,000 orcs, and people were even sent to publicize this deed.
The fact that everyone in the world knows about it gives him no way to retreat."
The old man said with joy, he predicted that this Ancestral Dragon Empire would dominate the entire northern world in the future, and this opportunity should not be missed.
"What? Want me and him? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Xisilia finds it hard to accept. Until now, she has been exchanging love letters with her sweetheart. How could she promise herself to others, let alone an orc?
"Hmph, it's a pity that my granddaughter doesn't have your talent, otherwise such good things wouldn't be your turn. Your prestige is unshakable in Yushuang City, and you must be responsible for this matter.
You should think about it carefully, I can only help you so much. Next time you meet with the Tiger Master, you can go there in person."
The old man walked away. They were all guys with long hair and short knowledge. Without this Yushuang City, there would be another Yushuang City.
"Uncle——!"
Hiselia stood up and wanted to stop him, but the old man walked too fast. What should I do?
