181 A Verbal Battle

“You should have seen most of it since you joined our Elf Valley.”

“Our Elf Valley is quite rich in resources, so the soldiers are all strong and the living conditions of the ordinary people are also very good.”

When they heard Su Ming’s words, all the elders nodded subconsciously.

This was also the reason why they did not raise any objections after joining the Elf Valley.

After all, the life here was too good. If they still had any complaints, it would be a lack of people’s hearts.

However, once Su Ming finished speaking, he paused for a moment.

“All of you have only seen what we have, but you have never thought about where these things came from.”

“Do you think that the Elves, Orcs, Vampires, Goblins, and Barbarians could live together in harmony from the beginning?”

When they heard Su Ming’s question, the elders of the Mount Tai Tribe were instantly stunned. Their expressions changed slightly.

“That’s right, because they had seen such a harmonious scene when they first came in, they subconsciously felt that this kind of situation should be very normal here.”

However, when they thought about it carefully, they realized that this was not normal.

Different races had completely different living habits and thoughts.

How could there be so many races living together in peace without any reconciliation?

At the thought of this, everyone’s expression turned slightly solemn.

Su Ming cast them a glance and continued, “If not for the integration between these tribes, our Elf Valley would not have been able to develop to this point. We wouldn’t have so many resources, we wouldn’t have so many friends, and we wouldn’t have such a powerful force.

“Self-imprisonment and self-isolation will only make you stay in the same place forever. You won’t be able to see the outside world, and you won’t have any new developments.

“The most likely way to do this is to finally realize the changes in the world when you are hit by an iron fist from the outside world.”

When they heard Su Ming’s words, the elders of the Mount Tai Tribe felt as if they had been hit in the heart by an iron hammer. Their faces were filled with shock.

Once Su Ming finished speaking, he first swept his gaze across the elders of the Mount Tai Tribe before he said, “I know that you are a little traumatized by the expansion in these areas because of what happened in your own tribes before.

“I understand you, but at the same time, you can’t just rely on your own stereotypes and blindly refuse to expand and develop outward.”

After a slight pause, Su Ming continued, “And I think the fact that our Elf Valley has developed to this point is enough to show you something, right?”

The faces of the people of the Mount Tai Tribe changed slightly, but someone finally nodded.

“Great Prophet, according to what you’ve said, we can accept the expansion.”

“But…it’s hard for you to guarantee that we won’t provoke a strong enemy that we can’t afford to provoke, right?”

When Su Ming heard his doubts, a faint smile appeared on his face.

Whether it was his plan to expand the town steadily, or the continuous investigation of the Elven hunters in the wild, he could completely avoid the situation of the Elf Valley falling into the same situation as the Mount Tai Tribe.

The reason why the Mount Tai Tribe had become like that was that their foundation was not stable, and that they had taken too big a step.

The most important point was that they knew too little about the forces around them, and they were too blindly confident.

Without any of these three points, Su Ming would not have been able to get rid of them so easily.

However, Su Ming did not say these words out loud.

Instead, he swept his gaze across the people of the Mount Tai Tribe and said, “The situation you’re talking about won’t happen in our Elf Valley.

“As for why I dare to say this, you will slowly understand in the future.”

When he heard Su Ming’s words, the Elf elder’s expression changed slightly, but in the end, he did not say anything. He chose to remain silent.

When Su Ming saw this, he swept his gaze across the entire place. He looked at the people of the Mount Tai Tribe and said slowly, “Of course, if you still have different opinions, you can continue to raise objections, and we can also hold a voting meeting.

“But the Elves won’t be the only ones who will vote this time. There will be other races in the valley,” Su Ming continued after a slight pause.

After hearing these words, the crowd was stunned for a moment, then they quickly reacted.

That was right, now that this matter was being discussed in the Elder Hall, it proved that this was only a disagreement within the Elven race.

However, if they really wanted to hold a voting conference, it would be a matter for the entire Elf Valley.

Under such circumstances, how could Su Ming only let the Elves participate in the voting?

Thinking of this, the Elves’ expressions changed slightly.

After thinking about it for a moment, Dorgan lifted his head and looked at Su Ming. He sighed and said slowly, “Great Prophet, we were too naive about what happened before.

“On behalf of my friends, I apologize to you and the rest of the Elf Valley.”

When Su Ming heard Dorgan’s words, he knew that he had already given up on opposing the strategy of the Elves in the valley.

As for the other elders of Mount Tai Tribe, when they heard Dorgan’s words, their expressions changed slightly for a moment, then they all turned their heads to look at Su Ming.

“Great Prophet, I’m sorry!”

“Great Prophet, I’m sorry!”

“…”

Su Ming nodded at the Elf elders who were apologizing to him, then waved his hand and said, “You don’t have to think too much. I understand your worries.”

“I can’t explain these things too clearly to you now. All in all, you will slowly understand why I chose this way of development.”

Once they heard Su Ming’s words, the Elf elders before him nodded their heads.

After that, the meeting finally came to an end after some small discussions.

After Dorgan and the other Elven elders left the Elder Hall, Zelda let out a long sigh and leaned back in her chair.
