Chapter 456 Holy Son, are you sure?
The argument grew louder and louder, with all sorts of bickering and disputes escalating.
Lin Mo watched this scene with a completely bewildered headache, his ears ringing.
This can't go on; who knows how long this wrangling will go on?
After some thought, he came up with a plan that seemed to be at a disadvantage for Da Xia.
Only if Da Xia suffers a slight loss, making everyone feel they've gained something, can the final decision be made and the plan finalized.
After discussing it with Zhao Gang, Zhao Gang felt it was okay and nodded, saying:
"You're the commander-in-chief, what you say goes."
To be honest, no matter how it's divided, Da Xia is actually at a disadvantage.
Millions of tons of munitions were unleashed, nuclear bombs blew across the land, and the Great Xia consumed a massive amount of reserves, killing the largest number of demons.
If we're really going to be meticulous, it wouldn't be unreasonable for Great Xia to take the lion's share.
Of course, if the Great Xia were to propose taking the lion's share, everyone would surely argue that the various races were essentially there to help the Great Xia fight against the Demon Race.
However, Da Xia could easily deny this favor by using the excuse that "we are here to help Terra resist the demons."
But Lin Mo didn't intend to do that.
He decided to accept the favor from the various ethnic groups.
After all, there was absolutely no need for the various ethnic groups to defend the Great Xia's fiefdom to the death.
If they fought and retreated, their casualty rate would be much lower, but the fiefdom that the Great Xia had just built would be completely destroyed.
In the great power game, we cannot only look at the immediate interests; we must consider the long term.
In the future, if Great Xia wants to establish itself on the Terra continent, it will inevitably have to deal with these natives.
This small concession is nothing; once trade expands, we'll make back the principal and interest.
Most importantly, the ultimate buyer of the demon corpses was the Great Xia!
Regardless of who gets the corpses, they will eventually have to be sold to the Great Xia in exchange for equipment and supplies.
The rare metals and energy blocks extracted from the corpses of demons by the Great Xia Dynasty are obviously of higher value.
This is called a closed loop, where the bulk of the profits are always in Daxia's hands.
Finally, collecting the body is a huge hassle.
Nearly 20 million demons, with over 10 million corpses scattered across plains, underground, and ocean.
This workload would exhaust the logistics troops of the Great Xia to the point of vomiting blood.
After thinking it through, Lin Mo reached out and slapped the table.
"Bang!"
A muffled thud silenced the argument that had been going on.
All eyes turned to Lin Mo.
"Everyone, listen to me."
Lin Mo stood up, placed his hands on the table, and looked around.
"Arguing back and forth inevitably damages harmony."
"I have a proposal, what do you think?"
Muradin was puzzled.
Tell me about it.
Lin Mo said calmly:
"We'll divide the spoils into six equal parts."
Everyone was taken aback.
Just as Muradin was about to speak, Lin Mo's eyes sharpened, and he cut him off.
"Don't rush."
"Based on an equal distribution, countries with excessive casualty rates and those that have lost high-level combat personnel will receive partial compensation!"
"For example, a seventh-tier warrior of the Orc race died in battle, and the Pope of the Holy Human race perished."
"The sacrifice of these two high-level combatants definitely deserves additional compensation!"
The entire room fell silent.
In their expectations, the Great Xia would definitely occupy the majority.
Now they're not only abandoning the main compensation, but they're also offering excessive compensation for casualties?
The casualty rate of the Great Xia was negligible compared to that of other races, which was tantamount to another concession.
No wonder they weren't surprised.
Ryze's grief lessened somewhat, and he bowed slightly to Lin Mo, sensing Lin Mo's affirmation of the fallen heroes.
Warwick also gave Lin Mo a grateful look.
This plan takes care of the races that suffered heavy casualties, and also provides a safety net for other races.
Ryze understood the potential benefits and kindly offered a reminder:
"Holy Son, Great Xia has killed the most enemies but also suffered the greatest losses. If we allocate resources according to this plan..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but Lin Mo should be able to understand what he meant.
Now that the Pope has fallen, the Great Xia has shown them his last words.
He naturally had to follow the Pope's will and respect the Son of God as a future leader.
Now that Lin Mo is willing to give up such a huge benefit, he is also kindly reminding him from his own perspective, fearing that the Holy Son might not have thought things through and thus suffer a loss.
Lin Mo chuckled and said:
"As the attacked party in this battle, Great Xia is very grateful to all the races for their unwavering support, so we have the sense of responsibility."
"However, there is one small condition that I hope everyone can agree to."
The other tribes smiled upon hearing this.
The Great Xia Dynasty played a significant role in this battle, which was astonishing, and the terrifying number of kills was even more staggering.
Otherwise, with nearly 20 million demons and an eighth-order demon god, their nearly 3 million-strong army would be overwhelmed without even making a ripple.
The fact that Great Xia has now voluntarily given up most of its profits and is sharing them equally with everyone is a pleasant surprise for them.
They even found it hard to believe that the Great Xia would be so kind.
This is not a personal relationship, but an interest between nations!
Finally, when Lin Mo mentioned a small condition, everyone felt relieved.
It's good if there are conditions; otherwise, I always feel uneasy about giving away so much for free.
Muradin said:
"On behalf of the fallen dwarven warriors, I thank the Great Xia for their generosity!"
"Tell us your conditions; if we can agree to them, we definitely will!"
He didn't make any definitive statements, deciding to consider the terms before giving any guarantees.
Lin Mo smiled and pointed to the scorched earth in the distance.
"Collecting corpses is a huge undertaking, and the Great Xia's military strength is limited. We should only be responsible for clearing the demon corpses around the fiefdom."
"I think this should be enough for our share."
"As for those outside the fiefdoms, I hope you will take the trouble to handle them as your respective tribes."
"Especially those from the sea!"
Lin Mo looked at Ella and Warwick.
"The battlefield at sea is littered with the corpses of millions of demons, so we'll have to trouble the water elves and the orcish merman warriors."
"Da Xia is not good at underwater salvage, so we won't bother trying to take on this job."
Everyone suddenly realized.
It turns out that Da Xia was waiting here.
Retrieving corpses is indeed a complicated process, especially when dealing with those enormous creatures in the sea, which are extremely difficult to salvage.
But for the elves and orcs, this was a trivial matter.
Compared to the huge concessions made, this is just a trivial condition.
After all, nobody finds picking up money tiring!
The leaders of the various ethnic groups were relieved and nodded repeatedly.
"No problem! We'll arrange for merfolk warriors to handle the salvage as soon as possible!" Warwick readily agreed.
"The water spirits would be happy to do this job." Elarry nodded slightly and smiled.
Muradin was in a very good mood and laughed:
"In that case, let's leave the corpses underground to us dwarves; digging tunnels is our specialty!"
The Dragon King snorted.
"I'm sending my minions to move the large demon corpses!"
The plan was thus finalized.
All are happy.
Lin Mo sat back down in his chair and exchanged a glance with Zhao Gang.
A hint of a smile flashed in both of their eyes.
The Great Xia not only got rid of the most arduous task of collecting corpses, but also earned the gratitude of all ethnic groups.
Most importantly, they had to wait until they had painstakingly collected the bodies.
The Great Xia could easily sweep away all these precious biological materials with just expensive equipment and supplies.
All we can say is that all the races have benefited, but the Great Xia will never lose out!
Even after we sold you out, you'd still be helping the Great Xia count the money!
