Arcane Lord

"What should be restricted is the abuse of war spells, not war spells themselves. Any country has the right to protect itself and develop its armed forces to protect itself."

It's just that when Xia Duo said this, Galanod became silent, and Badigal looked at him with puzzled eyes, as if saying that this is the critical moment of "dividing the spoils", why are you still pretending like this!

"Ugh-"

Xia Duo sighed inwardly, the scene of the orderly voting at the alliance meeting just now almost made him forget that this era is still dominated by the ideology of power, although this is not much better on Earth.

But there is always resistance under power, why not establish a relatively fair system from the beginning?

In addition, the most important thing is that no power can remain strong forever. If you are used to treating others with power, one day your power will decline. Does obedience become a matter of course?

Even without considering the decline of power, this world is huge, and it can be used in the Northland for a while, but it may not be the case on the entire main plane.

If one day encounters a powerful force to invade, or even rule with power, can you still have a heart of resistance?

This issue seems to be insignificant, but it is actually related to the nature of a country and an organization. If it is not correctly understood, it will lead to internal division at least, and at worst it will lead to its demise.

Xia Duo is very optimistic about the Northland Alliance, and he does not want such a potential organization to be destroyed by the power thinking of a few countries.

"Your Excellency Galanod, do you think Comanthor can resolve all the disputes in the North by himself?"

"How is this possible? If Comanso was so strong, the Ristal Forest would have been unified long ago!"

Galanod accidentally exposed his truest thoughts, but Xia Duo didn't care. Since he failed to "unify" in the past, it will be difficult to achieve "unification" in the future under the cover of the order of the Northern Alliance up.

"So, Your Excellency Badigal, do you think Netheril can solve all the problems in the Northland on its own?" Xiaduo asked again.

"Of course not!"

Badigal seemed a little impatient, "Lord Xiaduo, just say what you want, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't listen to other people's opinions, and Netheril is not a country that completely ignores the opinions of the lord."

"What I want to say is that there is something about the Northland Alliance. Even if Netheril, Comanthor, Yeerlan, and Ilfaran unite, it may not be able to handle it well. The attitude of other countries is also very important."

"for example?"

"Do I still need to say this? The clues of the Dragon Madness, the problem of the demons, which one can you solve independently?"

"This-"

Badigal immediately realized that, indeed, there are still countless problems in this world that cannot be solved by strength alone. Even if they can be solved by strength, that kind of strength is not possessed by the current northern countries.

But so what?

"We can't solve it, can Evereska and the others solve it?"

"I don't mean that, I mean if countries can work together, wouldn't it be easier to solve?"

Then, Xia Duo also used "the last straw that broke the camel's camel" as an example to explain to Badigal that meager strength is not meaningless.

Take the collapse crisis of Dragon Madness as an example, maybe a certain key clue is hidden in the hands of a small country, if Netheril and other big countries can act fairly and treat them equally, maybe it will be revealed directly.

Otherwise, people can wait for countries to collapse, and then clean up the mess on their own.

It should be noted that the difference between the large and small countries in the North is only in size, and the technical level is not too large to be insurmountable. However, at the same technical level, the smaller the size, the easier it is to survive the crisis.

The limit state is a certain high-level mage individual. If the Northland is not working, then he can go to other places. If the main plane is not working, he can change to a new plane.

A big boat may not be able to withstand the waves, but a small boat must be easy to turn around.

"Lord Xiaduo's thinking is very far-reaching, and Galanod feels ashamed, so according to Your Excellency, how should this war spell be restricted to benefit all countries?"

Galanod's sudden change of words caught Badigal a little off guard. In fact, he was almost persuaded by Xia Duo, but it was difficult for him to accept the fact that "big countries need the support of small countries more at certain moments". That's why he was stunned for a moment, but now that he realized it, he quickly made amends:

"Lord Xiaduo, the Seven Towers are also formed by the joint formation of various mage tower organizations. Some of them are strong and some are weak, but almost all mage tower organizations can be passed on. Among them, the Seven Towers Covenant plays a key role."

"Yes!"

Xia Duo affirmed Badigal's statement, "The Seven Towers Covenant has detailed rules, all of which can play a practical role, but the Northland Alliance only has a relatively broad charter, and we need to continue to improve and refine it before it can be formed. A Northern order that benefits all nations."

Xia Duo believes that Badigal can understand what he said, but human nature is selfish, and it is inevitable that there will be double standards. However, Galanod's attitude changed so quickly, which surprised him.

But no matter what, as long as everything is explained, let them see the pros and cons, coupled with a little deterrence from him, presumably he can make a decision that satisfies everyone.

So he continued: "I still have the opinion just now that any country has the right to protect itself and develop armed forces to protect itself, which of course includes war magic.

"So I am not in favor of restricting war spells or war artifacts themselves, but the scenes where war spells are used should be restricted.

"To put it simply - you can use it when you are defending yourself, but you can't use it when you are attacking."

"It can only be used in self-defense? What if a certain country deliberately designs another country to attack it, and then takes the opportunity to use it?" Galanod immediately raised the loopholes.

However, this was already in Xia Duo's consideration. In terms of influence, war spells are similar to nuclear weapons on Earth, and there are very complete rules for the use of nuclear weapons on Earth for reference.

"Of course, it is impossible for any self-defense scenario to require the use of war spells. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com We can discuss the details of this aspect with the representatives of various countries at the alliance conference, but here I can also briefly introduce my ideas View."

Then Xia Duo introduced the principle of reciprocity on earth to the two, that is, if one party uses war spells, the other party can also use them.

And the right to survive, that is, when a specific and tangible attack has threatened the survival of a party, it is not too much to use any means, including war magic.

However, Galanod did not immediately respond to Xia Duo's point of view. It can be said that once Xia Duo's vision is realized, under the circumstances of the Northland, the big countries will lose most of their ability to threaten small countries.

For example, Akola, who has been closed to the country for many years, is still living well. If the Northern Alliance cannot give the small country the treatment it deserves, then why should the small country play with the big country!

This is actually an extremely far-reaching issue, and Galanod couldn't get an idea for a while, but as far as he is concerned, he is actually looking forward to the atmosphere of the Northern Alliance described by Xia Duo.
