Chapter 425 New Point
During the time when Zhou Xu had just sorted out his thoughts and figured out the lizard people’s method of opening the energy channel, the energy of everyone below was undoubtedly focused on what happened. On the issue of whether to negotiate peace with the lizard people.
During this period, Diak and Barr, as representatives of the Centaur clan, remained silent throughout the entire process.
This choice indeed makes them feel entangled, but to be honest, from the perspective of their centaur clan, the key point of whether to negotiate peace with the lizard people now is not at all on them, but on them. It depends on what the one sitting on the throne thinks.
For a moment, everyone looked at Zhou Xu.
In response, Zhou Xu just raised his eyes slightly and fell on Silke.
"Silk, tell me what you think."
As one of the officers in Prairie Village, there is a new situation on the front line, and being called in overnight to discuss matters does not count. It was strange, but Silke didn't expect Zhou Xu to directly call his name and ask him to express his thoughts.
Faced with this situation, Silke was silent for two seconds, and then slowly began to speak.
“The Lizardmen want to negotiate peace, probably because of the pressure from the Ratmen. According to what we know, they have been at war with the Ratmen. At this time, if they are attacked by us again, Their situation will undoubtedly become very bad.”
At this point, Hilke's voice paused.
"However, if we choose to go to war, we will probably have to suffer a lot of casualties. In addition, the existence of the rat people cannot be ignored. The use of troops needs to be carefully considered."
After listening to Silke’s thoughts, Zhou Xu nodded with satisfaction.
As for this matter, he had already come to a conclusion in his mind. He could naturally think of things that Ye Jinghong and Silk could think of.
The reason why I specifically clicked Silke's name and asked him to express his thoughts was to take this opportunity to feel Silke's attitude.
Don't forget, the lizardmen and him have a hatred of genocide.
If Silke loses his mind because of this hatred and blindly encourages him to send troops, then he will undoubtedly make some new arrangements for Silke.
Now it seems that he was worrying too much.
At this time, Silk did not lose his cool head because the enemy was a lizard man. He was able to weigh the pros and cons in this matter very rationally.
This is undoubtedly something that Silk never had before.
You know, when he first met Hilke, Zhou Xu's first impression of him was that of a 'little brat who looks down on people'. Later he discovered that this brat was not bad in nature and was a bit naive.
At this time, Zhou Xu didn't know that according to the age of the elves, Hilke was indeed just a 'brat' who was not too old.
The series of events that followed the changes in the ethnic group undoubtedly made him mature quickly.
During this period, Zhou Xu extended a helping hand to Silk and gave him shelter when he needed help the most.
Life in Dazhou is undoubtedly better than before, and it has also brought new changes to him, making his life extremely fulfilling every day.
It is precisely because of the initial loss that Hilke values the precious life in front of him even more, and this value largely offsets the hatred in his heart.
He is not a fool. He knows in his heart that if he chooses revenge, the precious life he cherishes will cease to exist! Instead, there were more casualties!
What he lost, no matter how hard he tried, was lost after all. This was a fact that could not be changed.
But is he going to destroy this precious life in front of him for something he has already lost?
Whether it is from his own perspective or from the perspective of the survival of an entire ethnic group, Hilke has given his answer, an answer that satisfies Zhou Xu.
"Then let's talk about peace."
"..."
Zhou Xu's conclusion was straightforward, without any hesitation or entanglement, which made everyone below feel so... A little unprepared.
Because in everyone’s eyes, this is a tangled issue.
There is no absolutely right answer. No matter which choice you choose, there are pros and cons.
Seeing everyone's reactions, Zhou Xu chuckled at this moment.
"After we make peace with the lizard people, will the lizard people be able to live a stable life?" "!!"
At this moment, everyone below The person looked stunned. The words Zhou Xu said at this time pointed out a very important point, an issue that they had ignored before because they were just weighing the pros and cons of their own side.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Zhou Xu continued with a smile.
"As we already know, in the opposite world, the lizards and rat-men have been mortal enemies for many years. Even if we negotiate peace with the lizard-men and stop fighting for the time being, the rat-men will continue to fight the lizard-men. The lizard-men will continue to fight. People don't get much chance to rest. It can even be said that because of the long-term battle with the rat people, the strength of the lizard people has been in a state of continuous loss."
"On the other hand, we can. Take this opportunity to gain more development time and find opportunities to further improve your strength."
"The longer this battle drags on, the greater the advantage will be for us!"
At this moment, Ye Jinghong’s eyes lit up after he understood the situation.
“Your Majesty is wise!”
This was a new word he heard from Teacher Wang some time ago. Now he imitated it and used it directly.
During this period, although Drogo was a rough guy, he was not stupid either. He knew that Village Chief Ye was a smart man. In short, he would just follow whatever Village Chief Ye said.
For a moment, the voice of 'Your Majesty is wise' echoed directly in the meeting hall.
This feeling is really good!
At this moment, Zhou Xu even understood a little bit why those foolish kings in history liked to listen to sycophants and flatter their horses. This kind of words sounded really comfortable.
After all, who doesn’t like to hear good things?
But when it’s time to wake up, you still have to wake up.
With two heavy dry coughs, Zhou Xu pressed his hands to signal them to restrain themselves.
Then his eyes fell on Diak.
"As a representative of the Centaur clan, Lord Diack, what do you have to say?"
Diak scratched his head when his name was suddenly called.
"I think there is no problem, peace talks are okay."
According to what Zhou Xu said just now, there is indeed not much harm to them in peace talks.
Zhou Xu nodded after receiving this answer.
“It’s a pity that the noble clan leader is not here, so there are some things that we can’t discuss.”
After hearing this, Barr, who was standing aside, hesitated and said...
"Before I set off, the patriarch told me that if there is anything to decide, Lord Diack can do it himself Make the decision.”
These words immediately confused Diack.
Compared to the confused Diack, Barr was not much surprised by this matter.
After all, everyone in the tribe knows that the old patriarch is getting older and has basically retired from the front line.
As for the candidate for the next clan leader, it is no surprise that he is Diack.
"That's fine, then I'll ask Mr. Diack directly."
While speaking, Zhou Xu's eyes fell on Diack.
"Would you like to bring an entire ethnic group to live in our world?"
"..."
