Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2333 Struggle for Peace
Whether the elves will allow the demons to establish a country is indeed a very critical issue. Judging from the fact that the demons were expelled from Evereska before, it may be difficult for the demons to establish an independent country.

But is it difficult to do it?Think about the demon descendants on the main plane, who try their best to cover up and hide in XZ, won't they still face the cleansing and encirclement of all countries in the end?
The so-called "seeking peace through struggle will lead to peaceful survival, and seeking peace through compromise and concession will lead to peaceful death." Too many historical lessons have taught Xia Duo that it is absolutely impossible to seek the tolerance of the enemy through compromise and compromise!

Therefore, after the demon elder raised this question, he resolutely stated his views on survival, otherwise the elders would inevitably make a conservative but extremely fatal decision after hesitation.

Fortunately, he just gave the magic to sort out the blood that is crucial to the demons, otherwise the elders might not be willing to listen to his "young man".

"Maruen, in your opinion, what should we do next?"

"Before answering this question, I would like to ask a few elders, have we been obedient and indisputable before? Even in the face of rejection from the five races?"

"Yes, this is also the place that chills us the most. Over the years, we have paid a lot of price to gain their approval, but what we got in return has always been indifference and contempt. Until not long ago, we were even expelled. Evereska."

Speaking of this matter, Elder Solmante showed an expression of resentment and sadness on his face, which shows that the elves have hurt the demons deeply, not only physically, but also spiritually.

"Since they don't regard us as enemies at all, then we simply set up another clan besides the five clans, and still belong to Tequiser." Xia Duo said firmly.

It's not okay to completely abandon yourself to the elves, and simply use the demons as a distinction to form a separate race, not only to maintain a little relationship with the elves, so as not to be categorically cleaned, but also to completely cut off the attachment of the demons, so that they can be separated from the previous race .

Although this proposal has Xia Duo's own careful thoughts in it, it is indeed a new way out for the unpopular group of demons at the moment.

Otherwise, according to the thinking of these elders, I am afraid that they will follow in the footsteps of the demon descendants of the main plane.

The projection plane is not connected to the main plane, so Xia Duo becomes a demon descendant here, so naturally he has to exhaust all the hidden benefits brought by this identity.

But facing his proposal, which can be said to be the only way for the demons to survive, the elders were extremely hesitant apart from being shocked.

"Are you worried that setting up another clan will attract the attacks of the five clans? In fact, there is no need for it. Right now, all forces are thinking about the land of no man left by Arivanda. As long as we don't confront them immediately , they don’t have to fight us to the end, this is another question I want to ask the elders—”

Xia Duo paused, and asked a very crucial question, "What do the elders think about the strength of our demon descendants and the current forces in the Northland?"

"The power of the demon descendants is weaker, but the few of us have personally experienced the crown war. If we really fight, those younger generations may not be as brave as us!"

Elder Solmante's eyes were fixed, and his eyebrows revealed the determination and confidence of countless life and death. At the same time, several other elders also showed a similar aura, which shocked Xia Duo.

"Since that's the case, what are the elders worried about? It's just a big battle, no matter how cruel the war is, it can't compare with the Crown War. Do we, the remnants of the war, still fear them?"

If he said this right from the start, Xia Duo was sure that these elders would not be moved, and they might even kill him, a rebel among the demons, on the spot.

But now, with the spell to sort out the bloodlines, it means that the inheritance of the demons will be more stable than in the past, or it is only here that the inheritance is possible, unlike the precarious past, where all members may die suddenly at any time.

Furthermore, Xia Duo pointed out the truth of "seek peace through compromise and perish in peace", as long as the demons are not seeking to return to the mainstream society of the elves, and don't care about the views of the other five races, with the current strength of the demons, It is absolutely possible to occupy a place in the Northland.

Originally, this group of demons was planning to take a detour to the south to live in seclusion, but you must know that there are elves in the south, and they have retained more strength from the Crown War.
Thinking about it, it's unlikely. In the end, it might go around and go back to the Northland, and then be bullied and even used and squeezed by the Northland elves again, and finally eaten dry, wiped and washed thoroughly.

If you want to truly control your destiny, you can't rely too much on others. The independence gained by relying on others, once turned against by others, this independence may be broken with a single poke.

……

In an underground cave.

Xia Duo discussed with several elders for a long time and finally made a decision, no longer going to the south, but all the way north, and then west to Il Faran.

According to what the elders learned in Evereska, only the original civilians are rebuilding their homes in Ilfaran.

In fact, there are a large number of elven civilians scattered throughout the Northland, and those who can go to Evereska for refuge are either upper-ranking families or vassals of upper-ranking families, and there are very few civilians.

After all, Evereska is located in a remote place and is extremely secretive. How can civilians know about such a shelter? If a large number of civilians know about it, wouldn’t it be that Erivandar also knows about it? Then what else does this shelter have? meaning?
The so-called demon descendants are not welcomed by the elves. In fact, to a large extent, they are not paid by the upper elves.

According to the plan discussed by Xia Duo and several elders, although their demon tribe seems to have a large population, nearly [-], almost all of them are soldiers, but compared to the total number of elves, it is still insignificant.

Therefore, on the way to their new homeland, they need to collect a large number of civilians and refugees scattered in the wilderness due to the war, so as to enrich the population.

Regarding the growth of demons, there are still problems in natural reproduction, so first consider the transformation path.

All non-demons implement a birth policy similar to that of drow to ensure a stable population growth, and then select from among the elves who have multiple children, and give demonization rewards.

Yes, in Xia Duo's plan, "demonization" should be used as a reward, not a punishment. After all, there are so-called "long-lived families" in later generations.

Leaving aside the issue of natural reproduction, the demons have advantages over pure-blooded elves in other aspects, so why not count them as rewards?

Taking advantage of the fact that those big forces haven't made a move yet, first gather the civilians, then establish a mystical lock, and then seal the country's borders. After a few hundred years, the changes in form will be completely different.
