Jino stared blankly at Yang Xiao, as if seeing a cold-hearted avenger assassin.
After a while, Jino said softly:
"Brother Yang, the first two conditions I think we can barely et. We can give White Elephant City to you, and we can also let the wildn coexist peacefully with us, sharing the world, and no longer massacre each other. Isn't this the alliance we have now?
But the third condition, you ask the Eldest Prince Long Aotian to kneel and apologize to the wildn, this? This is too difficult!"
Yang Xiao smiled faintly and said:
"It's not that I want the Eldest Prince to do anything, but the wildn brothers have great resentnt in their hearts. For hundreds of years, the people of Witch Star have killed millions of wildn on Purple Origin Star to mine, almost driving the wildn to extinction.
Now you want them to help their forr killers, it's sothing the wildn cannot accept."
"But weren't we all doing well before? You even brought wildman warriors to help sneak attack on White Elephant City, how co now it's not possible?"
"Indeed, it was fine before, but as soon as the Eldest Prince arrived, he wanted to use a borrowed knife to kill, letting us fight to the death with Hai Mu so he could benefit from the situation. The wildn are very resentful about this and no longer trust you, let alone Long Aotian.
To be honest, even if the Eldest Prince was willing to kneel and apologize, I am not sure if I can persuade the wildman warriors to send troops to help you again.
You know, there is a saying spreading among the wildn now,
let you kill each other while the wildn reap the benefits, eventually wiping you out and driving you off Purple Origin Star."
"Buzz!"
Jino once again felt a buzzing in his mind, cold sweat breaking out.
Honestly, what he worries most about now is this: if all the wildn beco aware and wait for them to kill each other, this is not the outco he wants to see.
"This, Brother Yang, if so, you might not necessarily benefit. Even if the wildn kill us all, the people of Witch Star will eventually send a heavy army to Purple Origin Star, and when they arrive, they might wipe out all the wildn, leaving none."
"What Brother Jino says is true, but who can predict the future? Maybe by that ti, you and the Eldest Prince, Hai Mu, and others might be dead already.
Even if Witch Star destroys the entire wildn of Purple Origin Star by then, what aning does it have for you?"
Jino wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, a sense of terror rising within.
Life only happens once for anyone, no matter how beautiful the future is, if Jino and Long Aotian die before their eyes, the future holds no aning for them.
Even if all the wildn die accompanying them, it cannot restore their lives.
Jino looked at Yang Xiao, taking a deep sigh, and said:
"Brother Yang, can we discuss the third condition again?"
"There's no room for negotiation. Either Long Aotian represents the Great Dragon Empire to co to Wildman City and kneels to apologize in front of all wildn, sincerely seeking forgiveness,
or you stay and die in the tug-of-war in Karachi City with Hai Mu and others,
I reckon the Great Dragon Empire is facing the alliance of the Youming Empire and Snow Leopard Empire, with imnse pressure. Each day you wait ans the empire is closer to being wiped out by opponents, right?"
Yang Xiao finally hit a critical point in the opponent's weakness, aiming to severely shake Witch Star people's supre belief and change their racial discrimination.
Yang Xiao added,
"If City Lord Hai Mu also wants our help to deal with you, I can't guarantee the wildn will reject him.
Honestly, I am just an immigrant from Earth, and there are major splits within the wildn now. Most wildn do not trust you and would rather watch both sides battle to death than send troops to help you."
Jino hesitated for a mont, then said:
"Brother Yang, I will report back to the Eldest Prince imdiately and let him make the final decision."
"Alright."
Yang Xiao saw Jino off, and just before boarding the spaceship, Yang Xiao quietly said to Jino:
"If Karachi City falls to Hai Mu's attack, you can seek refuge in Wildman City."
Jino was very moved upon hearing this and grabbed Yang Xiao's hand:
"Brother Yang, thank you!"
"There's no need for formality between us. I am soone who pays back kindness. We will always be friends."
...
After sending Jino off, the Wildman King asked Yang Xiao:
"Yang Xiao, must we help one side? Why can't we let them kill each other, and then take the opportunity to eliminate and drive away the people of Witch Star? It's such a good chance!"
"We can deal with the people of Witch Star on Purple Origin Star, but can we deal with the people of Witch Star on Witch Star itself?"
The Wildman King was taken aback and fell silent.
"Although the three major empires on Witch Star are at war and have no energy to manage the struggles on Purple Origin Star, the war will eventually end. By then, whether the Great Dragon Empire wins or the alliance of the Youming Empire and Snow Leopard Empire wins, it will be a disaster for us.
If the Youming Empire wins, of course, the Eldest Prince would want revenge and by then they would mobilize heavy troops and super strongn from Witch Star to sweep us wildn away, and no one could stop them.
If the Youming Empire wins, they will also attack us wildly, wiping out the wildman tribes."
"Yang Xiao, according to what you said, what should we do?"
"We can only help Long Aotian to defeat Hai Mu and others."
"You really hate Long Aotian, don't you? Why help him? We could also help Hai Mu defeat Long Aotian."
"Although I hate Long Aotian, I have no choice but to help him now,"
Yang Xiao said, arranging three teacups on the table,
"Look, it's like the three major empires on Witch Star. Originally the Great Dragon Empire and Snow Leopard Empire were fighting, and the Great Dragon Empire had the advantage. Why did the previously neutral Youming Empire choose to help the Snow Leopard Empire?"
"Why?"
"Very simple, the Great Dragon Empire was already strong, and if it annexed the Snow Leopard Empire, it would beco even more powerful. At this ti, it would threaten the survival of the Youming Empire.
But if the Youming Empire allies with the Snow Leopard Empire to fight the Great Dragon Empire and defeat it, then Youming Empire would beco the dominant force on Witch Star,
so it was in Youming Empire's interest to previously sit back and watch the Great Dragon Empire and Snow Leopard Empire slaughter each other, weakening each other, which was good for the Youming Empire,
However, once the Great Dragon Empire is about to annex the Snow Leopard Empire, Youming Empire cannot stand by and must help the Snow Leopard Empire to avoid a disadvantageous situation in the future.
Our situation now is the sa. The most beneficial situation for us is for the three empires on Witch Star to remain in a three-legged stalemate, where no one can overwhelm the others,
so that they cannot completely free up an hand to deal with us wildn and might even require our help, like Long Aotian does now."
The Wildman King nodded.
"Are you saying we should help Long Aotian?"
