Chapter 3489 Human Race
Barbara added, "If we do nothing, the Orcs will fall completely into Seth's hands. Given Seth's ruthless nature, he will definitely have the Orcs attack me."
At that point, nothing I say will matter, because the entire council of elders will be under our control, and besides, Seth is the clan chief.
"Don't worry, of course we'll do something."
Andrew smiled and said, "At first, we can't move, but when Seth and the others are halfway through, we'll find a suitable excuse to rescue some of the elders. Then, you and those elders, along with some elite troops, can escape the royal city."
The orc race naturally doesn't have just one city. Besides the royal city, there are many other cities around it. The same goes for humans and the undead race. Although their strength has been greatly reduced after the apocalypse, they are still far from extinction.
"Mr. Wang, do you intend to split the orc race?"
Barbara asked in surprise, and Andrew said, "No, I want to save the orc race. Barbara, you know how deep the conflict between orcs and humans is. Under normal circumstances, there is no possibility of reconciliation between the two races; they will only fight to the bitter end."
"It is indeed very deep."
Barbara sighed. "They've been killing each other for hundreds of years. How could the hatred not run deep? Every orc soldier has a relative who died at the hands of humans. For example, his great-uncle's seventh uncle and his third niece's aunt. Well, distant relatives are still relatives."
How can there be reconciliation in this situation? Reality isn't a novel where the leaders of two races fall in love and then reconcile. Bullshit! In reality, if something like this happened, the soldiers would definitely mutini and hack the two leaders to pieces.
"But if a powerful enemy is created to force both sides to reconcile after considering the practicalities, they are very likely to reach a settlement."
Andrew said, "Seth and Sithon are the enemies I have chosen. They control most of the orcs, and with their own strength, humans can only fight against them by joining forces with the remaining orcs."
In this way, as long as there are a few more battles and the two sides share life and death a few times, even the greatest hatred will be resolved.
Of course, in practice it's not that simple, but as long as you and Kara are the leaders of the orcs and humans respectively, handling all of this shouldn't be too difficult.
"That's right. Many things are difficult to do from the bottom up, but easy to do from the top down."
Barbara nodded. Although Andrew's method would cause the deaths of a large number of orcs, it was indeed a feasible approach.
As for the orcs' deaths, Barbara didn't care much. She was a time traveler, not a real orc. Moreover, she wasn't a good person in the traditional sense; she was rather selfish and cared more about herself.
Barbara, as if struck by a thought, asked, "Wait, Mr. Wang, you seem to have forgotten about the Corpse People? Getting them to coexist peacefully with us is not an easy task."
Andrew asked coldly, "Peaceful coexistence? The Corpse People have a tradition of cannibalism, so why should we coexist peacefully with them?"
The Corpse People race evolved from zombies. In the early days, zombies had no intelligence and instinctively fed on humans. Later, they gained intelligence and... continued to feed on humans.
Corpse people don't necessarily have to eat people; they can survive by eating animals. However, eating people can enhance their strength and abilities, so many corpse people continue to eat people.
Of course, some zombies have become intelligent and stopped eating people. Currently, zombies are divided into cannibals and non-cannibals, with the latter being much weaker in number and strength than the former.
In fact, in the early days, humans and orcs were allies, fighting together against the undead race. After all, the undead treated them as food—orcs were also human, so the undead naturally ate them as well.
But then various things happened, the alliance broke down, and humans, orcs, and undead fought each other in a three-way war, which continues to this day.
Barbara asked in surprise, "You want to wipe out all the corpses? Even those that don't eat people?"
“They cannot be left behind. When most of the corpses are killed, the remaining corpses, even if they are harmless or have performed meritorious service, will not escape the purge. Not to mention, they are harmful and have original sin.”
Andrew shook his head and said, "After we finish discussing this, I will go to the human side and help Kara become the leader. When the Sithons see that the humans are united, they will definitely go to subdue the undead race to increase their strength."
"At that time, we will wipe out Sithon and his followers, some of the orcs, and the undead race, ending the war in this world."
Andrew wants to end the war in this world, partly out of his savior instinct. Although he is still the same devil at heart, and everything he does is for his own benefit, he has saved so many worlds that some things have become a habit.
On the other hand, he wanted to divert the world's military forces to help Earth, since there are still many cities that need saving, and he needs a large number of people.
"It seems that the Corpse People will not be able to stay."
Barbara shook her head, not taking it to heart. She wasn't one to be overly compassionate; a brief mention was enough. What did it matter to her whether the corpses lived or died?
After the two finished their discussion, Andrew went to find Kara on the human side. At the same time, he left a clone here to interrupt Seth and Sithon on the way—his main responsibility was to provide advice, so he had enough clones.
This small world wasn't very big, and the territories of humans and orcs weren't far apart. Plus, Andrew was incredibly fast and could teleport, so he arrived at the human city in a short time.
The orcs have a chieftain and elder system, which is quite ancient, while the humans have a council system. The speaker is the supreme leader, and the councilors are all elected. Most of them are not very strong, but they often control a lot of resources and have powerful subordinates.
In fact, this is a means for the higher-ups to suppress powerful superhumans, so as to prevent them from becoming emperors who can do whatever they want. In addition, they have also used many other methods to suppress superhumans in private.
Some powerful superhumans were very dissatisfied with this, and there have been several rebellions by powerful superhumans in history, but they were all eventually suppressed.
However, such things cannot be completely eradicated. Some superhumans secretly formed resistance organizations to oppose the council. In addition, these methods have led to the emergence of a large number of superhuman criminals who have been causing trouble within the human race.
This internal strife weakened the human side, which was a major reason why they failed to defeat the orcs and undead.
Currently, the most powerful superhuman is Kara, nicknamed Supergirl. Her main task is to deal with resistance organizations and superhuman criminals. She is quite busy every day, either fighting crime or on her way to fight crime.
This is also one of the tactics used by the higher-ups: to keep Kara busy every day so that she has no time to fight for power or do anything else, and can only become their tool.
