#864 - Achievement: Rush to the rescue from a thousand miles away!
Silence.
Miranda pursed her lips and did not immediately answer the question of the devil Evelyn.
For the soldiers of the Crusader Corps, it is acceptable to sacrifice in the battle with cultists and monsters. In most cases, they will be successfully rescued by [Resurrection Spell]. As for those companions who cannot be saved, their families will also receive sufficient compensation and comfort.
Although the battle was fierce, the actual number of "war dead" of the elite Crusader Corps was not large.
In comparison, the number of ordinary people slaughtered by monsters and cultists is much greater.
Whenever Miranda saw the victims killed by monsters and tied up by cultists for sacrifice, he always had an idea:
"If the monsters and cultists can be completely eliminated, it would be great to restore the stability of this world."
Whether it is the Crusader Corps of the Glorious God or the believers of the Church of Seeking Knowledge, high-level professionals can eliminate hundreds of monsters with just a few powerful divine arts and magic.
But ordinary people without extraordinary powers are too vulnerable to the threatening power of the void and have almost no power to resist.
As we all know, there is no reason to be on guard against thieves for a thousand days.
The cultists only need to find loopholes to make trouble, while the kingdom and the Radiant God Cult, which maintain order, have to consider more.
Even if there is a large-scale sweep of "carpet investigation", it can only be carried out once in a long time. Otherwise, the cost pressure alone will completely overwhelm the church.
After witnessing the big scenes such as Ceylon Eternal Night and Stone Castle Battle, Miranda's thoughts became stronger.
There is no doubt.
Monsters are the cancer of the world.
Because of their existence, there will be disasters one after another.
If there is really a way to solve the monsters once and for all?
Then she is absolutely willing to pay all kinds of prices to complete this method.
She is even willing to sacrifice herself without hesitation.
But what if the condition is that many ordinary people will die? Will it cause heavy damage to the entire kingdom?
After a short silence, Miranda finally spoke slowly:
"Devil, I don't know... what you guys from hell think."
"But, sacrificing yourself and others are different for me."
"I don't have the idea of making plans for others, let alone the qualifications to make decisions for them."
"All I can do is to protect them as much as I can, or find a way to get them sheltered. This is what I can do."
"As for what you said..."
"Sorry, I think... I will never do that."
Miranda's tone became more and more firm as she spoke:
"Maybe doing this is putting the cart before the horse, maybe it is more appropriate for them to be "sacrificed", but they should have the opportunity to decide everything for themselves!"
"If there is really a so-called permanent solution to the threat of the void, I will announce it and let everyone decide whether to voluntarily sacrifice for it."
"Tsk--"
Evelyn sneered disdainfully.
Waving her hand to remove the influence of the [Noise Blocking] magic, indicating that Miranda can prepare to accept the summons.
On this point, as devils, Evelyn and Miranda have completely different ideas.
Devils are all sophisticated and perfect egoists, and every choice they make must be to preserve their own interests.
Specially asking Miranda this question is just out of Evelyn's personal interest.
Miranda is different from other believers of Noven.
Coming from the Church of the God of Light, especially the Crusader Organization that has received a lot of influence and training, it means that Miranda wants to use her power to protect others.
Pet, Gale and others are different.
They don't get entangled in these.
For them, the pursuit of power is to make themselves stronger, because the strong will have more say.
As for ordinary people?
They are not as selfless and naive as Miranda.
It's okay to protect them, but this protection is definitely not without reason and without cost.
Just like mercenaries accept commissions and receive rewards, they will also ask for corresponding rewards from the protected.
In Evelyn's view, Miranda's ideas can even be described as naive.
The so-called "open the method and let everyone decide for themselves", with the experience accumulated by Evelyn in her long life as a devil, she clearly knows that this is impossible.
Human beings are so fickle, so selfish, and so short-sighted.
As long as they are not completely forced into a dead end, except for the extremely naive "fools" like Miranda who have been trained by the church, most people will only choose to pin their hopes on others.
"It's good for him/her to sacrifice. I will remember their contributions and live with their share. I am willing to erect monuments and records for them in the future, but I am not willing to sacrifice for them."
"If someone is going to sacrifice, why must that person be me?"
This is the mentality of most people.
Only when humans have no room for retreat, no room for bargaining, and will be completely finished if they don't fight to the death, will they collectively awaken and burst out with unswerving strength.
All demons are masters of playing with people's hearts, especially old guys like Evelyn who have been in the mortal world for thousands of years.
She disdained Miranda's statement.
"I'm really looking forward to it. What will it be like when she sees with her own eyes that the ideals she firmly believes in are completely broken by others?"
Evelyn whispered softly as she watched the figure disappear in the purple-black light.
...
The relay transmission of the [Summoning Ceremony] several times made all the believers who gathered here feel a little dizzy and uncomfortable.
The results were of course extremely remarkable.
A strange smell mixed with a strong smell of blood and the stench of monster corpses drifted into the nose;
The sound of killing was deafening, and the sound of arrows and stones breaking through the air and the crazy roars of monsters intertwined into a frenzy of sound waves;
Looking around, under the bloody sky, there was a golden light column that reached the sky and the earth, firmly attracting everyone's attention.
They have arrived near the border defense line of the Earl of Kalezi!
Starting from the vicinity of the Misty Valley, they took less than 10 minutes to complete a long-distance journey across hundreds of miles.
Moreover, their route of action was still a not-so-standard "C" shape.
First, they were summoned from the pioneering territory near the Misty Valley to the Dawn City, then transferred to the safe area in the territory of Kalezi, and finally came to the border summoning base temporarily protected by the Countess of Ceylon!
It seemed as if they were rewarding their high-speed response and assembly.
The moment they arrived at the temporary base.
The reminder sounded:
[Achievement: Thousand Miles of Aid! ]
[Obtained Limited Title: Rebel]
The believers did not realize that they had inadvertently broken something that was "monopolized" by the Magic Hermitage.
From this moment on.
[Portal] Magic is no longer the only solution for multi-person long-distance fast travel!
