Chapter 1264 - 1264 221 Inspection Group_2

1264: Chapter 221: Inspection Group_2 1264: Chapter 221: Inspection Group_2 Autonomous authority was granted, but the series of consequences it entails must also be borne by themselves.

The last time the Orc Empire invaded the Human Race and failed, being beaten up by the Human Alliance all the way without any intervention from the Alien Coalition, was due to this supplementary agreement.

Having suffered a big loss once, the Orcs have learned their lesson now.

Instead of resorting to violence immediately, they discuss matters with a negotiating attitude.

“Bear Emperor, I think we might as well do away with some of the old bad habits while we have the chance.

Constant fighting and killing doesn’t benefit the unity of the Empire.

We are all peace-loving species, and now that the Human Race is powerful, and with rumors of the Cataclysm of ten thousand years approaching, why don’t we issue a ’20-Year Truce Decree’ together?

For the safety of the Empire’s young elites, from now on, the hunting and killing of the talented offspring of all species, especially those who have received legacies, is prohibited!”

The Silver Moon Wolf Emperor made this proposal with a laugh, completely puzzling the representatives of the various tribes present, many of whom doubted their ears.

“Have we all become peace-loving species?”

All Orcs are warlike, certainly an exaggeration, but that half of the Orcs are belligerent is unquestionably not a complete cover-up.

“Peace-loving” is nonsense, but the fact that the Orc Empire now needs peace is indisputable.

All species are more or less in the same situation, each in a state of exhaustion, in need of rest and recuperation.

“Wolf King makes sense, now is really not suitable for continued internal strife.

To wage external wars, we can’t even muster strategic resources.

Let’s endure in hiding for twenty years, and once our strength has recovered, we will decide the outcome with the Alpha Kingdom!”

The Lionman King chimed in opportunistically.

Having transitioned from the War Faction to the Peace Faction, the Lionman King is also acting out of necessity.

If the turmoil continues, the Orc Empire will destroy itself.

Having just received their inheritance, it would take at least a decade or two to transform it into racial strength, which is simply not achievable overnight.

“If nobody objects, then it’s settled!”

After scanning the crowd, the Bearman Emperor solemnly declared.

A seemingly mundane conversation actually revealed a shift in power within the Orc Empire.

What should have been a matter discussed by the Four Royal Families, now involved only the Three Great Imperial Clans.

The Hawkman Royals, having suffered heavy losses, had now lost their say.

If not for the uniqueness of their species, they wouldn’t even be able to hold onto their royal status.

Their royal identity barely intact, it was time to keep a low profile when needed.

But with politics, whatever is said out loud and what is actually done are completely unrelated.

The “20-Year Truce Decree” can limit the outbreak of major wars but cannot prevent minor conflicts.

The Orc Empire is simply too vast; whether it is the Royal Family or the King’s clan, neither has the ability to extend their influence to every corner.

The so-called governance is also a loose name-only unity.

The management of the tribes within one’s sphere of influence is basically laissez-faire.

Having a high degree of autonomy, it’s quite normal for tribal Chieftains to occasionally fight with their neighbors.

Even within the same Species, different tribes often clash over interests.

“Prohibiting the hunting of each species’ talents” is even more nonsensical.

Such backstabbing behavior, who would put that on the table for discussion!

Things that happen in the dark, as long as they aren’t caught red-handed, can be regarded as non-existent.

No sooner had the words been spoken than the representatives of various species burst into laughter.

Regardless of the enforceability, having rules is better than none.

For some weaker species, these restrictions are so necessary.

Hunting talents doesn’t really concern them; as the weaklings who have never received an inheritance, they don’t even qualify to be targeted by the large clans.

The benefits of “ceasefire” are something they can truly enjoy.

“Esteemed Emperors and Kings, if the Empire is not preparing to launch external wars, then there needs to be some changes to the border defense.

To be fair, I propose adopting a rotation system, with the strong combatant races taking turns guarding the borders.

Considering political influence, the ruling Royal Families and King’s clans should best avoid appearing on the border, so as not to provoke the Human Race and escalate conflicts!”

King Bimon’s righteous words made many species representatives’ hearts sink.

If it were in the past, to “guard the border” in areas bordering the Human territories was a plum job.

Whether involved in smuggling trade or seizing the opportunity to raid inside Human territories, one could make a hefty profit.

Now the situation is clearly different: smuggling trade routes have shifted to maritime; with Devil King Hudson in the Near East Region, who would dare to make trouble there?

Bimon Tribe had been on the border for a few years, merely allowing their Cavalry to symbolically penetrate the enemy’s weak areas for armed exercises.

Substantive large-scale military actions were never undertaken, for fear of provoking Great Demon King Hudson.

So well-behaved in the end, they still couldn’t escape the clutches of the Great Demon King.

The large Bimon encampments near Snow Moon Territory were all brutally attacked by The Demon King.

Frightened, Bimon Clan hurried to move away, distancing themselves from this terrible neighbor.

If the Royal Families and King’s clans don’t wish to be neighbors with Hudson the Great Devil, these races want it even less so.

Within three hundred miles of Snow Moon Territory, not a single Orc tribe with a large family exceeding ten thousand can be found, which says a lot.

Even though Hudson hasn’t done anything to them, with not even one military action against them, everyone instinctively chooses to keep their distance.
