Chapter 1063: Chapter 1056: The Decision of the Wolfman Clan

The discussion lasted into the deep of the night, and everyone eventually fell asleep, leaving only Fulajie’er, the half-god who needed no sleep, to keep watch.

Luo’er slept straight through until noon the next day. It was odd; during this time, it seemed Tana hadn’t come to cause trouble directly nor had she induced sleepwalking as before—probably because Luo’er had the Soul Summoning Bell in hand and a demigod by his side.

As mentioned before, it is near impossible for a god to kill another god, and even for demigods, it is a challenge; so with Fulajie’er watching over him, Tana would find it difficult to threaten Luo’er, let alone harm Fulajie’er.

Luo’er was awoken by Baiyue’s summons, telling him that Elder Tu Xiu, after internal discussion, had reached a consensus and asked her to inform Luo’er.

So, the group made themselves presentable and proceeded to the room where they had held their discussions. By this time, Elder Tu Xiu had been waiting in his chair for quite a while. Upon seeing Luo’er’s arrival, he grinned, revealing his formidable and sharp fangs.

By his side were several village elders, whose white beards betrayed their advanced age.

Taran was sitting upright in his chair, but he stood up, relieved, when he saw Luo’er arrive. He pulled Luo’er down to sit and then sat down tightly next to him.

"I really apologize for disturbing Lord Luo’er’s rest," Elder Tu Xiu said apologetically as Luo’er sat opposite him.

"Oh, no, no, it’s I who have been overly lazy, holding up everyone’s time; so, it should be I who apologizes," Luo’er replied, waving his hand dismissively.

Hearing Taran’s translation, Elder Tu Xiu and the others exchanged glances, and then he looked at Luo’er, took a deep breath, and resolved to say, "That’s how it is, Lord Luo’er; we’ve debated long from yesterday to today. Indeed, as you said, the times are changing, and we cannot force our people to cling to tradition, the inevitable end of which is extinction. So, after much consideration, we have made the following arrangements and seek your advice, Lord Luo’er."

About whether to migrate, we have discussed at length. Indeed, we of the older generation have gotten used to living here and have long since lost the courage to face rejection. Therefore, we, the older generation, wish to stay and worship Lord Leiyun. As for the younger generation, it’s up to them to decide. If they wish to stay in the village, they may; if they wish to leave, then they should take this opportunity to find their own path. We’re well aware that we can’t put all our eggs in one basket; otherwise, should disaster strike again, our clan might be completely wiped out," Tu Xiu said slowly.

After listening to Taran’s translation, Luo’er slightly furrowed his brows in thought and then looked at Tu Xiu and asked, "So, Elder Tu Xiu and the rest are planning to stay in the village?"

"Yes, we really can’t bear to abandon Lord Leiyun, so we’ve decided to stay," Tu Xiu nodded and replied.

"Alright then," Luo’er nodded and couldn’t help but sigh softly before continuing, "I warn you once more, this opportunity might only come once, think it over before answering. Otherwise, when you ’all’ want to leave again, you may not find such a good opportunity."

"Don’t worry, Lord Luo’er, we have already made up our minds," Elder Tu Xiu gestured reassuringly.

"But if that’s case," Baiyue said, looking at Luo’er with some worry, "I’m concerned that the younger generation might not want to leave the village because they can’t bear to part with their parents."

"Hmm." Luo’er nodded in agreement with Baiyue’s concern, then patted Taran on the head to have him translate the words exactly.

After listening to Taran’s translation, Tu Xiu and the others discussed among themselves for a moment and then looked at Luo’er, saying earnestly, "Rest assured, Lord Luo’er, we will try our best to persuade the younger generation to leave the village. After all, it’s no solution to purely ostracize the world. We were once called the Non-human Race, driven out of the East Continent by the human race. If we can’t establish good relations in the Western Continent, our descendants might be driven away by the people of the Western Continent, and by then, we won’t even have Lord Leiyun to help us, leaving us no choice but to wander in despair."

Watching Elder Tu Xiu and the others discuss, Baiyue frowned slightly, then turned to Luo’er and asked in a low voice, "Luo’er, do we really need them?"

"Keeping them will definitely be useful, even if they are not now, they will surely be in the future. To win people’s hearts, benevolent governance must be implemented. Since the headquarters intends to establish a demonstrative modern civilization system in Lipei, it naturally should embrace all rivers and not intentionally filter, adopting an exclusionary and resistant stance towards certain ethnic groups," Luo’er said reassuringly.

Hearing Luo’er’s words, Baiyue nodded with some embarrassment and then fell silent.

In some ways, Luo’er’s enlightenment was indeed much higher. Sometimes even the clear-headed Baiyue could occasionally make such prejudiced mistakes, but Luo’er always maintained a very high level of awareness, which is what people admired most about him.

Exactly what use the headquarters had for the Wolfman Clan, Luo’er couldn’t explain clearly. Was it merely because of their medical achievements, or was it because of their ties to the East Continent?

In fact, for the headquarters, these matters could be said to be important or unimportant. Therefore, in such circumstances, Luo’er’s subjective decisions played a significant role; sheltering these people was not about their utility, but about spreading a message to the Otherworld that Lipei would establish a mutually equal modern democratic system, welcoming all those oppressed to join.

This approach might not bring many benefits, but it could gain many intangible assets, including the recognition of the people from Otherworld.

As the saying goes, those with justice on their side receive much support, while those who lack it receive little. Establishing a positive image in the Otherworld is very important because once Lipei is established, there will inevitably be hostile voices slandering it, claiming that Lipei is a new colony. In this case, the Otherworlders who have joined can speak out, refuting the derogatory claims of these hostile voices.

When strength is equal, all matters emphasize the word "justice."

The US military, when they initiated the Gulf War, first spent over a year persuading countries around the world, smoothing over various objections, and eventually achieving a justified cause in the UN Security Council vote. At the same time, the US military adjusted troop deployments, and because no superpower intervened to complicate matters, they resolved the war in just forty days, avoiding a quagmire like the Vietnam War.

Although Luo’er agreed with Tu Xiu’s arrangement, he still felt somewhat regretful. After all, he still hoped that Tu Xiu would go with them to Lipei until the Wolfman Clan’s production and construction were underway. After all, as a core figure of the village, where he was, there was the village.

However, things had come to this point, and it essentially met Luo’er’s expectations. After some arrangements, more than fifty Wolfman villagers agreed to follow the Rabbit-eared Tribe to Lipei, which was nearly half of the entire village’s population.

After taking census, in the afternoon, Luo’er led more than fifty Wolfman villagers with their families out of seclusion of their generational homeland, left the shelter of the valley, and entered the vast new world.

After saying goodbye to Tu Xiu and the others, the group followed the same path they had come by, heading towards Meila Village in a grand procession.

In fact, if possible, the Wolfman could have taken over Meila Village completely after the departure of the Rabbit-eared Tribe. However, considering the Wolfman’s unpopularity, it was estimated that the Oudaluo Kingdom would not agree to these people taking over like cuckoos in the nest. After all, from a legal standpoint, Meila Village still belonged to Oudaluo’s territory, so things had to be handled with care.

When Luo’er arrived at the city wall with his group, the Rabbit-eared Militia, seeing so many Wolfman approaching, were frightened out of their wits, and the village was filled with urgent alarm bell sounds. Fortunately, Cheng Ziang stepped forward in time to alleviate the misunderstanding.

Despite this, the Rabbit-eared Tribe still remained vigilant towards these people. It was only because of respect for Luo’er that they agreed to let the Wolfman Clan into the village; otherwise, they might have opened fire immediately.

It was only when he came out into the world that Luo’er could fully understand the helplessness of the Wolfman. It seemed that apart from himself, almost everyone harbored hostility towards these non-human beings with the heads of beasts.
