Seeing Qiao Feng suddenly lose heart, Xu Kun said, "Unless Huaxia loses to the allied forces of the wolf tribes this time, there is only one fate awaiting Khitan!"
"Brother Qiao, this is a situation neither you nor I can change!"
"What you should be thinking about now is what you can do when Khitan faces the crisis of extinction!"
"What can I do..." Qiao Feng was utterly lost.
Xu Kun's gaze swept over Tore and Ogodei, making neither dare meet his eyes.
"According to them, you could become Khitan's new ruler in the future, but only as a puppet controlled by Mengyuan. Under Mengyuan's protection, Khitan could maintain temporary stability!"
"However... annexing the various tribes has always been the wolf tribes' way. At first, Mengyuan would certainly treat you, the new ruler, and the surviving Khitan people well!"
"But once the time was right, Khitan would become a piece of fat at Mengyuan's mouth, to be eaten whenever they pleased. Of course, Khitan would not be the only wolf tribe facing such a fate. It would involve every defeated wolf tribe!"
First take them in as dogs, then swallow them in one bite!
There was no real difference between that and extermination...
"The other choice is to be like the human race once was. The defeated must accept the consequences of defeat. From now on, Khitan would become an affiliate of Huaxia!"
Tore and Ogodei's eyes widened sharply, while Qiao Feng's breathing became extremely uneven.
"The pain of one generation need not become the pain of every generation. Once the old grudges are resolved, all that is needed is long-term pacification. With you, Brother Qiao, serving as a bridge and guide, Huaxia and Khitan might gradually achieve cultural integration through prolonged exchange, becoming one community without even realizing it!"
