The game has become a real alternate world-Chapter 834 - 516: Why We Fight
The meeting continued.
After resolving the previous minor issues, the subsequent discussions in the meeting gradually returned to normal.
The focus shifted to how to deal with the mice, how to deploy different types of forces, and where and in which direction to dispatch these troops for attack.
Fortunately, everyone had some pre-plans, so the discussions were quick and efficient.
A plan was soon established, followed by collective training for the United Army to foster synergy.
After the main topics were discussed, the discussion shifted to less productive topics.
Requests for various supplies and the settlement of numerous refugees followed one after another.
"Our previously set goals have been effective, and we have rescued multiple cities from different directions, with many refugees flocking to us."
He looked at Kana.
Kana nodded directly: "The Night Watcher has already rebuilt some suitable ruined cities in different directions, and these places can become new homes for the refugees.
You can send the refugees you have accepted or cannot support to these places. If you don't have enough capacity, the Night Watcher will personally escort them."
Bear in mind that this involves the entire continent, with not just one race, but various factions and tribes scattered across it.
Prior to the mouse infestation, there were many conflicts among them.
Even if some leaders of these forces are willing to accept them, their people would be reluctant.
The conflicting customs of daily life cannot be resolved by merely a mouse infestation.
Moreover, many forces are barely coping and haven't yet recovered from the mouse infestation, just beginning to rebuild and recover. An influx of too many refugees might overwhelm them.
The Night Watcher's willingness to accept them with their strong logistics is naturally unopposed.
As for the ruins rebuilt by the Night Watcher, well, they naturally belong to the Night Watcher now.
After all, those cities chosen by the Night Watcher, while geographically advantageous, are already ruins and fall under the domain of already conquered nations or forces.
Regarding the threat of the Night Watcher.
Well, let it go. The leaders present have all emerged as elites from the mouse infestation.
While not all may be formidable, none are fools either.
It is almost a foregone conclusion that the Night Watcher holds the dominant position in Lebia, and their actions could be called both benevolent and virtuous.
Not to mention the exaggerated abilities displayed by the entire Night Watcher force, which everyone here has already backed.
The time-wasting discussions continued.
Until a king of a small nation looked at Kana and asked a question.
"Lord Kana, you... no, why do the Night Watchers care so much about those ordinary civilians?"
Upon hearing this question, the previously buzzing meeting quieted down.
They all shared some confusion.
After all, the resources freely supplied to those civilians could be used to train and supply the army, enough to forge a strong force.
Frankly, from their perspective, the Night Watcher's actions seemed somewhat wasteful.
This is also why some city lord aristocrats engage in corruption, viewing this as extremely extravagant behavior.
All eyes were fixed on Kana.
Kana awoke from a somewhat drowsy state and looked at the questioning king of the small nation.
"The coming of the apocalypse is already set, and the Night Watcher's oath and duty are to fight against that impending doom.
Everyone here, including myself, is no different from ants in the face of that apocalypse.
But even if the ants are numerous enough and possess armed might, they can struggle to survive before that apocalypse, ensuring the world does not fall and ensuring we do not entirely perish.
Thus, whether it is you or those civilians, there is no distinction in my eyes.
As for why treat them well? It's merely what they deserve.
"When crisis and devastating disasters strike, what can make you, us, and everyone stand up and fight?
Relying on a poor living? Filthy clothing? An empty stomach? Or those painful memories?
It is the suffering ones who make up the majority of this world... When such disasters strike, do you expect them to take up arms and defend their homes? Kneeling to the ground and waiting for death is more likely what they want.
If not, where do all those countless and endless Evil God followers come from?
The Evil God cannot perfectly lure every follower in. A loaf of bread, a piece of clothing, a bowl of clear water, a lie, is enough to sway them to the Evil God."
Saying this, Kana looked at those present: "Yet human greed persists, and even before such crises, some remain unreasonable, fully displaying their inner malice.
Though not corrupted by the Evil God, their actions are worse than those Evil God Followers.
Is it due to the descent of the Evil God that some fall, tainting life?
No, fallen individuals have always existed, and they are right beside you and me."
Speaking of this, Kana found it an opportune moment.
He directly spoke: "If there is a chance, I will give the basic blessing of the Night Watcher to everyone, making every person wise, every person strong.
So, everyone, be prepared, or else, when the angry civilians string you up on the gallows, I won't help you.
After all, they are more numerous and more worthy of my help."
Finishing his words, Kana stood up and walked towards the door.
His voice lingered.
"Without a sufficiently beautiful life and memories worth protecting, in the face of disaster, no one can firmly grasp their sword."
The door closed.
A long silence followed in the meeting room.
"Is this the Night Watcher's philosophy? Is this what the world wants to see?" a leader wearing a magic robe murmured to himself.
"What? Have you been influenced by his words? Haha, it's just a show, isn't that what politics is about?" a neighboring noble said with a smile.
"Is that so?"
The mage fell silent once again.
The only Minotaur at the conference table remained silent, yet his eyes sparkled with delight.
With their already sparse numbers and temperament, the Minotaur people, who lived in forest wildernesses, cared for each of their kin.
They were not on good terms with most of the human forces, yet they deeply resonated with Kana's speech.
The leaders present included humans and snake-men, some remained unmoved by Kana's words, while others agreed deeply.
But these thoughts did not linger long within them, as they now focused on what Kana had said.
Giving the Night Watcher's basic blessing to everyone.
If the Night Watcher had such capabilities, and they received such news, they must be prepared in advance.
Otherwise, they might indeed be overthrown.
At some point, three legends had already left the meeting room.
"So, is he the one chosen by the world, the true Savior?" the Red Snake murmured to himself.
The Blue Snake beside him smiled and said, "Isn't it only someone like him who can earn the world's favor?"
"What a bold young man, and like-minded ones follow him. Those old things are truly cowardly."
The Wolf Lord muttered to himself.
The Double Snakes couldn't help but nod.
