Chapter 546
Hua: "Gone to the east?!" Edward looked at Klaas, who had come to report it, his face full of confusion and heaviness.
As the first to raise a butcher's knife and start the genocide, Edward would most like to see Nordman and Campas raise the butcher's knife as he did.
After all, all the sins were shared with him, not all the pressure on him, as before.
Now the three clans (orcs, half-orcs, and dark spirits) are already on the same page, and there is no possibility of sitting down to negotiate!
In fact, since that time Gu Yi ordered Hua Wujian to lead a large army to attack the Orc Empire. Not only did it shatter the foundation of the Orc Empire, but it also shook Edward's position in the Dark Spirits!
Where there are people, there are strife, and even races like the Dark Elves that are extremely centralized in the eyes of the Dark Elves also have a lot of contradictions and struggles.
Edward faced many people who were peeking into his power and position, including his brothers and elders who held very high positions in the dark spirits. Although Edward has always been known for his strong control, it is also based on his victories all the time!
But after Gu Yi's Hua Wuji's attack, Edward's authority was greatly challenged.
The first is that Edward has caused huge losses within the clan and is reprimanded by the Dark Spirit Clan's higher-ups. It's been a long time since they've been separated from the Elveins that the Dark Elves have suffered such a loss! Not even in the most difficult of the jungles have they been so defeated!
For this reason, many high-level officials questioned his order to let Chris be the front-line commander in the first place, and even more wrong for the failure to correct it in time when his son and son Maining went to the front!
In this way, an undercurrent of Edward gradually took shape among the dark spirits!
Later, Edward's merger of the Dark Elveons into the Orc Empire was brought to the forefront. Especially later, the contradiction between the three clans gradually became acute, and the dissatisfaction and contempt of many people of the dark spirit clan towards the orc race and the half-orc race broke out even more!
In order to protect his position and to be able to divert internal contradictions, Edward took the lead in setting off a rebellion in the Orc Empire!
With the profound heritage of the Dark Spirit Clan and the advantage of being one step ahead, Edward soon led his people to lay down a large territory and established the so-called 'Great Spirit Empire' Linghuang!
Everything went so smoothly that the entire Dark Spirit Clan was very excited, and gradually suppressed the dissatisfaction with Edward.
Subsequently, in order to make the territory he occupied 'purer', and in order to further dissipate the dissatisfaction with himself within the clan, and in order to continue the conflict outside, Edward ordered the slaughter of all the captives and the expulsion of all orcs and orcs in the occupied area...... Until the slaughter!
When the methods of the dark spirit clan were known to the orc race and the half-orc race, it naturally caused great indignation!
You must know that in the history of the Purple Gold Continent, there has never been a case where a clan has slaughtered another race in such a name!
Even the barbarians, who have an unforgettable hatred for the Terrans, have never seen such deliberate slaughter. After all, their biggest need in the south is to plunder, and the slaughter of the Terrans is just incidental after they become murderous, and it is not something that can be targeted!
For the first time like Edward, he slaughtered a foreigner with a special order!
So, naturally, the counterattack against the dark spirits began. Orcs and Orcs also began to slaughter the Dark Eldar captives after concentrating their superior forces to achieve victory, and then ...... The scope of the slaughter began to expand! There was also a massacre between the orcs and the half-orcs! Even, within the clan, there was a so-called 'racial purity plan' to 'increase the combat power of the tribes'!
After seeing such a situation, Edward, who was still worried that he would turn the dark spirit clan into the target of everyone, let go of the big stone in his heart!
Due to the spread and expansion of this slaughter, the 'Beast God' Abciuston had no reason to make a move, except for his resentment and anger at Edward, but he could not do it again!
In the agreement of the Supreme Grand Master, the Supreme Grand Master is not allowed to easily interfere in the world, let alone easily attack the high-level of one party!
Originally, Edward's behavior was a violation of the taboo, and Abysius had a reason to act. But when the slaughter spread to the entire Orc Empire, Abysius could only stare dryly!
If he dealt with Edward, then Abysius would have personally torn up the agreement between the Supreme Grand Masters. So...... The supreme grandmaster of the human race, who is eyeing the side of the tiger, has a reason to make a move against the orc empire!
So...... Abysius had no better way than to support his disciple Sully's efforts to change the situation.
However, because Sully's response was too 'gentle', there was a mood of opposition to Sully and even Abysius among the orcs, so the 'growler' Nordman stood up and became a hero of the orc tribe, almost replacing Sully's position.
As for the half-orc Kampas, he was already dissatisfied with the 'beast god' Abysius's preference for the orcs, and with the genocidal policy that appeared later, the half-orcs naturally broke away from the 'orc empire' and began their own 'own battle'!
It can be said that the current situation is what Edward is most happy to see!
Even Edward had an idea in his heart: pull the Terrans into the water!
If the massacre of the race is added to the human race, then ...... Things were even more perfect, and Edward managed to escape most of the criticism.
Unfortunately, things don't always revolve around Edward's ideas!
When the eastward orcs and orcs were not driven and slaughtered by the Howling Heaven in the southwest, but instead arranged for them to take refuge, Edward felt that things were a little out of his control.
"Chris, what do you think of Gu Yi, the Southwest King of the Terran Race?!" Edward looked at his right-hand man Chris, and asked solemnly, "Didn't the intelligence say that this was a racist? Why would he accept the alien race so easily?!"
"Your Majesty, Gu Yi, the southwestern king of the human race, is indeed a racist, but he is also a person who will be interested in interests and reality!" Cristle paused and sorted out his language, "For him, no matter what race he is, as long as it can bring him benefits, he will treat the other party well! In his mind, only interests are eternal, and the rest can be put aside!"
"From the past actions of Gu Yi, the king of the southwest of the human race, it can be seen that he is an absolute supremacist of interests!
"Looking at the subordinate members of the Southwest King of the Terran Race, there are Spirit Race, Dwarf Race, and Half-Orc Race, and later they relied on special policies to absorb the people of the Orc Race! If it weren't for the fact that the Barbarian Race really couldn't bring him any benefits, I'm afraid there would still be a Barbarian Race under his command!"
"In this way, it is wrong to simply judge the behavior of the Southwest King of the Terran as a racist! He actually weighs everything by interests, as long as his interests can be promoted and his interests can be safeguarded, then race is not a big deal! If his interests are destroyed, it will be difficult for any race to gain benefits in his hands!"
"......" Edward fell silent.
To be honest, Edward had never seen a person like Gu Yi, the Southwest King of the Terran Race, who was based on his own interests in the history of the Purple Gold Continent.
It can be seen from the analysis of his powerful subordinate Chris that Gu Yi, the king of the southwest of the human race, does not have the racial superiority of the so-called strong in the past, and also abandons the unrealistic vanity and so-called glory, and has an exhaustive but very clear core goal in terms of means!
"This won't work!" Edward's brows furrowed deeply, he knew very well that once the behavior of Gu Yi, the southwestern king of the human race, became a momentum, and the orc race and the half-orc race began to shake the previous slaughtering methods, they would cause a crisis to themselves, and immediately thought of a way to deal with it.
"Chris, there's an important task for you!" Edward said in a deep voice as he looked at Chris.
"Your Majesty, please!" Chris replied.
"You bring people into the territory of the Southwest King of the Terrans, and attack the orcs and half-orcs who have taken refuge in each other!" Edward looked at Chris and said in a deep voice, "Be sure to provoke their distrust of the Terrans!"
“...... Yes!" Chris bowed his head and received in a deep voice.
Edward didn't see a gleam in Chris's eyes the moment he lowered his head.
Today's Chris, although he is still Edward's right-hand man, has long lost his uniqueness, and his trust is not as good as before!
Especially after losing that battle, although Edward saved Chris under everyone's pressure, Chris knew that this was just a move by Edward to maintain his authority and keep the rest of his subordinates from chilling.
In fact, although Chris is now named Edward's henchman, many things he has actually done have been marginalized!
Now the one who is really valued by Edward is Edward's son Meining, and this is the person who really trusts and reuses Edward! As for Chris, he can only do some seemingly simple work that has no merit to be gained!
But this time, Edward gave Chris an 'important task', and as Chris, who had a good mind, he naturally knew Edward's plan: he was going to sacrifice himself!
"Damn! Damn! Damn bastard!" returned to his home, Chris smashed everything in the room that could be smashed, and sat in his chair cursing incessantly.
Although Chris didn't say the name of the person he cursed from beginning to end, the cronies who followed Chris into the room knew who Chris was swearing!
"Commander, are you going to disobey?!" one of his cronies asked Chris, his eyes glinting, clearly curious about Chris's attitude.
In fact, as early as when Edward began to abandon Chris, Chris's cronies were already dissatisfied!
The main reason for this dissatisfaction is that it began after Edward blamed Chris, although for many reasons, Chris's life was saved, and the original position still seems to be there. But everyone knows that Chris has been abandoned by Edward, and the final fate has already been revealed.
For this, Chris's cronies have long been prepared.
After all, in the history of the Dark Spirits, betrayal and turning heads were not a big deal at all!
Even if Edward returns to the so-called Spirit Emperor now, once Chris finds a new backer, it will be difficult for Edward to make any more moves!
"Disobedience?!" Chris looked at his cronies, then shook his head, "It's not the same time anymore! Edward, as the Spirit Emperor, now has great power, and no one wants to offend him and take us in!"
"Commander ......" everyone's faces changed.
As Chris's cronies, they are both prosperous and loss-making existences! Once Chris is dying, they can only accompany him to the funeral!
"Don't think about it on the Dark Spirit side!" Chris shook his head, "If I disobey, don't say that Edward will deal with us." Those high-ups who want to curry favor with him will also attack us!"
"That ......," the cronies fell silent.
If before, the Dark Spirit Clan couldn't take refuge on the side, and it was okay to go to the side of the nominally orc emperor Sally.
But now, the contradictions between the three clans are so acute that they can't be resolved at all! The guarding Orc Empire Emperor Sally can't even stop the people under his command, let alone resolve the contradictions and accept them!
"At this point, we only have one goal to work for......
"Who is the Commander talking about?!" the cronies immediately looked at Chris and asked in a deep voice.
"Terran Southwest King!" Chris said in a deep voice with a glint in his eyes.
"This ......" everyone was stunned, they had never thought of this option.
After all, in their minds, the Terrans and them can be regarded as irreconcilable contradictions! Not to mention that the two sides have experienced a great war, not to mention how the Terrans view them. Let's just say that their original identity as a dark spirit race has a big problem.
After all, everyone knows that one of the wives of Gu Yi, the southwestern king of the human race, is the spirit king Dedelet, and the contradiction between the spirit race and the dark spirit race is still caught in it!
"You don't need to worry!" Chris shook his head and said in a deep voice as he looked at his cronies, "This Terran Southwest King is different from others, he doesn't value his identity or background, he only cares about whether we bring him benefits!"
"Once we join the command of the King of the Southwest, then we are not only elite soldiers who can always fight on the fly, but also another force that can suppress the Spirit Clan!" Saying this, Chris smiled very confidently, "I have studied Gu Yi, the king of the Southwest, in detail, and he adheres to one foundation for everyone under his command: balance!"
"Reuse any one person, so that everyone's power is equal, so as to balance all the contradictions, and finally let himself achieve absolute superiority!"
"This is true for all races, including the Spirit Clan! if our Dark Spirit Clan joins the Southwest King's command, then it will become a pawn for him to balance the Spirit Clan!"
"Don't look down on chess pieces!" Chris glanced at his cronies, "Being able to become a chess piece means that you are still useful!
