Sui Xiong ultimately did not rush to give the order.
From his personal standpoint, he naturally understood and supported the Dwarf Kingdom in defending its territory and resisting the Kingdom of Thousand Springs' invasion. But he was a jellyfish, not the Virgin Mary, and the dwarves were neither his relatives nor his friends. Why should he send his own followers to sweat and bleed to help the dwarves defend their homes and country?
Back when the Volunteer Army fought America and aided Korea, it was because when the lips were gone, the teeth would grow cold. If the Americans had bombed Kim the Fat to death, China would have become the front line of the U.S.-Soviet struggle, with not even a buffer left. If some Third World War broke out then, it would mean the terrifying sight of several nuclear bombs going boom boom boom right in their own Northeast, perhaps even North China. It certainly was not because everyone had any special fondness for that dead fat man and wanted to help his Kim family endure for ten thousand generations.
Whether it was the Northwest Republic and the Dwarf Kingdom, or the Kingdom of Thousand Springs, they did not border each other at all. In fact, they were separated by mountains and rivers beyond count. Under such circumstances, for Sui Xiong to send soldiers into mortal danger to help the dwarves fight solely out of a sense of justice... well, did Brother Xiong's head really look that big and that easy to wrong?
Forget justice—Justice God Jormungandr had not even sent an avatar to stay stationed there...
Of course, he would not say such things plainly to his followers. Instead, he found another reason to fob them off for the time being.
Honestly, Sui Xiong was quite pleased and
