Chapter 2381 Rules and Reality
【Transaction】
When Danon said this word solemnly, the 'Black Van Priest' sitting opposite him opened his eyes slightly, but he was not surprised at all. After all, when he learned about Guillotine Cliff from Shalia's writing The moment he sent someone to visit his territory, he had already roughly guessed the general direction of the matter.
As the undoubted strongest among the four blood barbarian forces in the north, Guillotine can be said to be at the fault level in terms of combat power, and Mo Tan even relied on Feiyali before setting off to Dubuya City. ·The intelligence provided by Graham made an easy judgment, that is - before the Holy Religion Union dispatched a large force far exceeding the size of the Sumir Expeditionary Force to support the northern border, even if the cities of Dubua and Gospel Mountain were tied up, Together, there is absolutely no way they can compete head-on with Guillotine.
I can't do it myself.
Archbishop Jost couldn't do it.
Even the Sun Sect's Grand Knight Captain Jeff Harrington and Day Black, who had achieved remarkable results in the Blood Feather Mesa, couldn't do it.
In terms of population, Doumbuya City and Gospel Mountain City together have only more than 100,000 civilians and soldiers. Even if the strength of individual soldiers is put aside, it is considered a gap below the epic level, even comparable to the second echelon of protective knights of various sects. The [Black Lizard Hunter] and Guillotine Cliff alone have super high combat power. With only 700 people, the newly recruited elite of Doumbouya City suffered huge losses. The [Gray Lizard Hunter] numbered 10,000!
And under [Evil Eye]'s 'all people are soldiers' decree in recent years, all the adult population of Guillotine Cliff belongs to the [White Lizard Hunter] establishment. Although many of them don't even have lizard partners, but After at least three months of high-intensity iron-blooded training every year, these equipment only have a white cloak and obsolete weapons. The 'militiamen' who don't even have serious armor are still very intimidating, not even more powerful than the standing army in Doumbouya City. There is too much difference in strength!
In this case, if we do not consider that the Holy Religion Alliance is very likely to make a crazy decision, Mo Tan believes that as long as the [Evil Eye] Lizard King of Guild Head Cliff can make up his mind, he can directly kill the Saint in half a month at most. These two 'nails' in the northern part of the territory were pulled out one after another.
Of course, having said that, as long as the lizard boss who doesn't sound very friendly is not crazy, he will most likely not do something that is equivalent to handing a knife to the United Holy Church. After all, even if The garrisons in the two northern cities are all thorny, and they are not even popular among the major sects. They are popular, but these guys are all thorns in the faith, and having faith... means that when other troops collapse due to losses exceeding a certain proportion, these warriors with gods above their heads will not waver at all. , and then fight with the enemy to the last soldier with a high probability!
Considering that ordinary people in the two cities basically have faith, and are even relatively devout believers (otherwise they would not come to such places to farm, blacksmith, cut clothes and open shops), so whether it is Guantou Cliff or other The three bloody barbarian forces, even if they could forcefully take down these two cities, the outcome would be that the entire cities of Doumbuya and Gospel Hill would be destroyed, with no one surviving.
That is - massacre of the city.
Okay, so since you heretics, who are defined as ferocious barbarians but are still protected by basic rules, do this kind of thing, then there is naturally only one response from the United Holy Church, and that is to do it without hesitation. The continent-wide "Inquisition" will inform the world of what the enemy has done, and then start to find a few people within each sect to lead the team, and bring 1,800 bloodless and tearless experts from the [Inquisition] northward.
Don’t get me wrong, in fact, starting from the [Inquisition], those [Inquisition] that can make children cry in the story and can usually scare ordinary kid to pee outside the story have nothing to do with the follow-up actions. Thousands of people are dispatched. People are just pretending.
The ones who really do the work are the above-mentioned ‘team leaders’.
For example, on the Dawn Sect side, after such an extremely bad situation occurs, a standard unit of Xialian Bamboo Leaf should be dispatched.
As for the Justice Sect, due to some reasons of inactivity in recent years, His Majesty St. Tychus Folsom, who is not too old and is still able to work, would not mind moving his body.
As for the Plenty Sect, although His Majesty the Pope is busy with affairs, the leader of the Guardian Knights and the Grand Lord Alonthos Sodahan Sunwalker, who is also the Chief Grand Knight, should take over this task to ensure that the Dawn Sect Someone won't make too much noise.
As for the other sects, the only wealthy Wealth Sect will definitely not support it with money, but everyone will support it more or less with people, and will send out special talents of a similar level if conditions permit.
And then...
If nothing else, it should be Xia Lian Zhuye, a standard unit of the Dawn Sect, who carried the cross and walked through the ruins of the two cities, and continued northward after a brief prayer, while the others stayed in the ruins to pray for the souls of the dead. Praying a prayer, such as the prayer of His Majesty St. Tychus Folsom, should be - Brothers and sisters, go in peace, the murderers have been sent to where they belong.
While everyone is praying, Xia Lian Zhuye, a standard unit of the Shuguang Sect, will seriously 'send away' all the blood barbarians in an extreme, simple, straightforward and neat way.
During the process, Her Royal Highness the Saint will open her blessed 'eyes of dawn' throughout the process and directly examine the soul of every blood barbarian. If it is found to be stained with even the slightest bit of blood or black, the most optimistic estimate is that its outcome will be just... A little here, a little there.
It is worth mentioning that, considering the ecology of the blood barbarians, even some people with conscience, such as Luna's apprentice who was also the mother of a harpy warrior in the Blood Feather Terrace, will undoubtedly die!
All in all, under this development, Xia Lian will probably complete this extremely efficient 'heresy judgment' within two days. If this time exceeds three days, then the only great knight of abundance who can definitely defeat Xia Lian will be Alonsus will take action to ensure that the environment is not damaged too much.
Let me emphasize once again that Xia Lian Zhuye, the beloved of the Dawn Goddess Pakosi and the senior legendary powerhouse, is very strong. Not only is she fully worthy of her rank, but she is also relatively difficult to deal with even in legends. As for her almost invisible performance during the Misha County Plague, the fundamental reason was that she was "indirectly" glared by the Dark Goddess Delia. This glance not only severely damaged her vitality, but also completely sealed her signature magical skills. .
Not only that, Xia Lian's situation at that time must not be reported back to the City of Light. After all... the time when Mo Tan almost died in Sumir was never an accident.
This may be a bit cruel, because from a moral perspective, no one's life is more valuable than anyone else. If reporting Xia Lian's situation to the City of Light can save the lives of countless civilians in Misha County, then this unwarranted risk is definitely legal. It should be possible, but... that's impossible.
In the same way, when the Blood Barbarians did not give the Holy Cult an excuse to unite to [massacre the city], it was absolutely impossible for a legendary powerhouse like Xia Lian to take action.
Although this seems very unreasonable, it is also a reality that there is no solution.
Yes, reality. Although it is absurd to talk about reality in a game, considering that [Innocent Bound] is a ridiculous enough game, this logic barely makes sense.
In the final analysis, from the perspective of players like Mo Tan who have a deep understanding of the game background, the so-called 'legendary level' is basically equivalent to the 'nuclear deterrence' outside the game. Xia Lian and the others are the nuclear warheads of the Holy Religion Alliance, and Under the tacit understanding of the world, no matter how much Guillotine jumps without nuclear weapons, as long as he does not cross the red line, or even crosses the red line a little bit, as long as there is no evil behavior at the level of massacre, the 'Legendary Level' is It must not be dispatched.
There is no way, after all, the level of 'Legend' that can completely crush the epic is too high. If it is not restricted, the whole world will be in chaos. In fact, the reason why everyone is in the year 9571 of the Holy Calendar. We all strictly abide by this rule now. Naturally, it is not as simple as the big guys getting together to have a meeting and making a decision. It is a lesson learned from countless blood and tears.
Because of this, even though Guillotine has committed countless evil deeds in the northern territory of the Sanctuary for countless years, the City of Light still has not completely destroyed it through super-standard strikes, because reality is never simple or unreasonable... Even unethical.
There are too many complicated things involved, too many games and calculations, and too many decisions that ordinary people cannot understand.
To give an inappropriate, imprecise, and unreliable example, just like outside the game [under the quadruple-split worldview], a federal republic with superior natural conditions and rich resources has a large number of criminal groups that defraud others by editing false information, and these groups They often use various methods to deceive the people of neighboring countries. In the past, those who became grassroots criminals not only had their personal freedoms restricted, but also corporal punishment and killing were common. Among the victims, in addition to some idiots who wanted to speculate, there were also many truly innocent people who had done nothing wrong. Anything, but still received a lot of vicious treatment.
Then, the motherland of those innocent people can rely on its economic strength, military strength, scientific strength, political strength, and cultural strength that can make the entire planet tremble with a little stomp of its feet, to destroy the small country that condones the criminal group, or Should we directly eliminate those criminal groups who like to kidnap their own people?
The answer is no. Although the big country outside the game [under the four-fold split worldview] can use various means to check and balance in this 'extremely inappropriate example', and even have ways to make the leaders of criminal groups surrender or commit suicide in despair, in the end It is still impossible to directly clear out those miscellaneous things through methods such as 'giving nuclear peace', 'missile plowing', and 'massive killing'.
Because these are the rules of the game. They are the rules of the game that prevent the world from turning into chaos and weapons of destruction flying everywhere. It is one of the basic rules to protect all mankind.
In the face of the survival of a civilization, conventional morality, honor and disgrace are completely worthless, because this is not 'cold-blooded', but a 'pattern'.
Just as Xia Lian concealed her injuries, which indirectly caused the Holy Religion Alliance to misjudge the situation, it may have caused countless more victims in Misha County.
Just as the United Holy Church has always maintained a considerable degree of tolerance towards the blood barbarians in the north, it allowed these heretics to burn, kill and loot in the northern territory of the Holy Land countless times, and made countless warriors in Dubua City and Gospel Mountain City martyred, but it did not use the force of thunder to Just like annihilating them all.
They must abide by the rules of the game within certain limits, because these rules are not used to protect the 'plague' or 'blood barbarians', but to maintain the stability of the world.
Because of this, Mo Tan, who is the rule maker of 'Dumbuya City', knows very well that the Lizard King far away in Guillotine Cliff will never completely betray him. The evidence is the two sticks on the ground that belong to Danon's fingers.
However, Mo Tan also didn't think that the lizard king would lower his attitude so low that he would let people use keywords such as 'request' that were obviously inferior to others. After all, sincerity was sincerity, and Danon never denied that. When Seven Hundred [Gray Lizard Hunting] wanted to cause trouble for Doumbouya City, the word 'trade' should be regarded as the optimal solution.
However——
"Deal?"
Mo Tan chuckled lightly, resisting the urge to pull the female knight beside him into his arms to enhance the 'picture effect', tilted his head to an angle where his ears could touch his shoulders, and asked leisurely: "Your Who does the king think he is, worthy of trading with me?”
"..."
A very obvious and unconcealed anger flashed in Danon's eyes, and then he said in a deep voice in a still respectful and polite tone: "The king deliberately told me that for you, a proud son, even with my intelligence from Guantou Cliff, We can only get a rough idea of our collection capabilities, and even those who have strictly controlled intelligence, but one thing is certain -"
Mo Tan leaned lazily on the back of the chair, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "Say."
"That means Lord Heifan, you are by no means a mediocre person."
Danon took a deep breath and said seriously: "And the king's 'deal' is just for smart people like you."
"What a shame, the adulation I've heard over the years has accumulated to a stomach-churning level."
Mo Tan shrugged, but still said in a friendlier tone than before: "So, let's talk about that stupid deal."
"Yes, my lord!"
Danon looked happy when he realized that he had finally passed the test, then he tensed up and took a deep breath——
"The King is willing to take me, Guantouya, to submit to the Holy Religion Alliance, and assist the Alliance in incorporating the so-called barbaric land into the territory of the Holy Domain!"
"Heh."
"In addition, the king can promise not to use the power of the alliance to clear the obstacles, and continue to form a four-legged power with the Blood Feather Terrace, Pale Plains, and Steel Mane Tribe. As the spokesperson of the Holy Religion, your Excellency can let you and My Majesty the City of Light is at ease.”
"Heh."
"And our request is also very simple. As long as you are willing to lead people to vacate the city of Doumbouya for three...no, two months, we can..."
"First time."
"Eh? What's the first time."
"If you let me hear that stupid thing just three times, I will let Philip turn you into fertilizer for the pot of flowers in the office on the third floor."
"Sir! Your Majesty really wants to convert to the Holy Alliance..."
"The second time."
"..."
"Please continue, Mr. Danon. Together with the plant on the third floor, I will look forward to your next speech."
