Chapter 852: Looking too highly at so-called human beings
The scene that unfolded in front of Li Ge and others was undoubtedly a battlefield.
This is a real war, a real battlefield.
There was an army attacking the city, and there was another army guarding the city. The two sides used the city gates and walls as their positions, and the plain in front of the city as the venue, and started a brutal fight, which brought blood, roars, horns, and cruelty. The sound of cries and the clash of weapons could not help but appear in this world, creating a chilling and bloody atmosphere.
Li Ge and others looked at this scene and were speechless for a long time.
"...That seems to be Luke's Kingdom's army, right?"
It was Ivy who broke the silence first and opened the topic.
"sure?"
Li Ge already knew it, but he still asked.
"The flag of swords and fire is undoubtedly the flag of Luke's kingdom."
Ivy pointed to the rear of the army in the siege pond. There was indeed a flag standing there. On the flag was a burning flame, and there were patterns of swords in the flames.
"In other words, the Kingdom of Luke sent troops to attack the border of the Queen Kingdom of Thistis?" Leo frowned and said with some boredom: "The mainlanders are just as stupid as the priests said."
This is an idea that came about because of the current situation on the continent. It is also a common understanding shared by everyone in the hidden land who knows the current situation of the Akasha continent.
Ivy and Leo also talked to Rige when they were at Franzel's house.
"In the distant past, there was only one king on the continent, but there was no so-called country, because at that time humans were a whole, and their enemies were only monsters, not each other."
"After 11,000 years of development, the Hidden Land is no longer as sparsely populated as it was back then, but we never fight because our enemies are still monsters, not humans of the same ethnic group."
This is what Ivy and Leo told Li Ge when he mentioned what kind of place the Hermitage was.
Therefore, in their view, it is extremely stupid for humans to start large-scale wars with each other.
In their understanding, human beings have always been a group, a whole. It is one thing to fight duels due to personal conflicts, but to launch large-scale wars like the mainland to compete for power, it is undoubtedly a kind of internal strife, a kind of internal strife. An act of self-destruction.
At least, in the ancient magical civilization and in the hidden land, there has never been a war between people.
No matter how big the conflict is, it is only between forces and between families. No matter how big the casualties are, they can't be more than ten thousand, or even less than a thousand, or at most a few hundred.
But what about the Akasha continent?
Countries are constantly fighting each other all year round. After a war, the number of casualties must be tens of thousands at least. If the war never ends, in the long run, tens of millions of casualties will be a trivial matter. It is simply a matter of population and life. Meat grinder.
If this kind of thing happened in the ancient magical civilization period, or in a hidden place, it would be extremely incredible.
In the ancient magical civilization period, humans had to face the persecution and cruelty of monsters and needed to unite as one. Who dared to engage in internal strife and war like this when there were foreign enemies?
The Hidden Land also continues this tradition. Humanity is a whole, a group, and is managed by only one temple. There are no continuous wars between countries.
Living in such a world, Ivy and Leo would certainly feel that the current situation in Akasha was stupid.
Of course, in Li Ge's opinion, it's okay to just stand and talk without back pain.
After all, human beings will indeed unite and fight against the outside world when there are foreign enemies. However, when there are no foreign enemies, for the sake of profit and resources, they will inevitably point the finger at those who possess them.
Li Ge has always felt that human beings are essentially creatures full of desires. Whether it is to survive or to satisfy their own selfish desires, they will raise a butcher knife to the people around them for what they want.
Even if Ivy and Leo proudly talk about the greatness of ancient magical civilization and the peace of the hidden world, Li Ge will not think that human beings are a beautiful existence.
Some people praise peace, while others long for war.
Some people are indifferent to fame and fortune, while others pursue power and wealth.
Where there is light, there will be darkness, and vice versa.
The world is not black and white, and human beings cannot simply distinguish good from bad. They are all gray in nature and can become black or white. It is just a matter of which side they prefer as the times evolve. .
In the ancient magical civilization period, humans were deeply persecuted by monsters. If they did not unite, they would only become food and prey of monsters, so of course they could only unite as one.
However, modern magic civilization is different. Although there are still many monsters in this era, they are no longer like the ancient magic civilization that has footprints all over the world. Human beings are far more powerful than monsters. Monsters can no longer bring devastating disasters. They can only It can be regarded as a kind of unstable wild disaster. In this way, humans will no longer be invaded by external enemies, and they will naturally turn their attention to the people around them and fight for various reasons.
Therefore, in Li Ge's view, although Ivy and Leo are strong, they are a bit like growing up in an ivory tower and have not seen the dark side of human beings and the cruel flowers of the world.
That's why they despise the current Akasha continent, because they don't see the nature of human beings clearly, and they think too highly of so-called human beings.
However, Li Ge was not in the mood to teach these two people.
He only cares about one thing now.
"It seems that the Luke Kingdom's army has a great advantage."
Li Ge gave his opinion.
This is also true.
As time goes by, the walls of the border city of Mitte have been gradually blown down by the army magicians of the Kingdom of Luke, exposing the street scene in the city.
The number of guards on the city wall is also gradually decreasing, and they are gradually occupied by soldiers from the Kingdom of Luke.
The soldiers of the Kingdom of Luke have invaded from the collapsed city gates and walls, roaring into the city, causing fire and smoke to appear in the city.
No matter how you look at it, this is the rhythm that the Kingdom of Luke is about to win, and the border city of Queen Kingdom of Thistis is about to lose.
"I-we're going to help?"
Liz asked timidly.
In response, Lilith, who was watching the carnage on the battlefield with great interest, glanced at Liz.
She wanted to say that she and others were not from the Kingdom of Thistis, so why should they help?
They are outsiders, and this is a war that has nothing to do with good or evil. It is just a war between countries to compete for interests. There is no reason to support either side.
It is true that they also need to do something in the Queen Kingdom of Thistis, and they may also need help from the royal family, but so what?
It's just a city. Even if it falls, it doesn't mean that Queen Thisis's kingdom will be destroyed. Intervening at this time may not necessarily be beneficial.
Besides... I don't like this either.
How nice would it be to watch humans kill each other?
How beautiful is that blood?
How beautiful were those screams?
It would be better if they could rip out each other's bloody hearts.
The female devil thought so happily, but she didn't say it out loud.
She also knew that her idea was cruel to humans, and her master might not like it.
Since the master doesn't like it, Lilith doesn't mind hiding her true thoughts and continues to be a well-behaved and obedient servant, just stay by the master's side.
"Ha~~~"
As for Yoro Ellie...well, she started yawning again.
She has no interest in human wars.
If it were another vampire, such as Shalltear Bloodfallen, she would definitely find this scene as enjoyable as Lilith, right?
Although vampires are not demons, they are undead who hate the living even more. It is also a good sideshow to see humans killing each other and the blood staining the ice and snow.
But Yulo Ellie is not an ordinary vampire, and even whether she is an immortal has to be questioned.
Under the influence of the bloodline of the Reinnail family, this vampire girl has undergone some incredible mutation. She is not so much an undead, but a human who looks very much like an undead.
Just like Li Ge, he is still human in nature, but has spirituality like an elf.
The same is true for Yuloi. It is like a human being who has the characteristics of the undead after resurrection, so she does not hate the living at all, but is too innocent to have the concept of good and evil, nor sympathy and It's just an emotion like pity.
Li Ge can guarantee this.
After all, he has already tasted what it's like to be a girl.
Frankly speaking, he was a little worried at first, fearing that pushing such an undead man down would cause any bad problems.
It turned out that he was worried for nothing.
The girl's body temperature was a little low, but it was not as cold as a corpse like the undead.
On the contrary, the girl's delicate body felt soft when hugged, only slightly cold, and the inside of her body was also... ahem, in short, it was a beauty that could not be explained to outsiders.
Therefore, Li Ge felt that Yuro Ellie's original resurrection was actually successful, but she was unable to wake up because of some inexplicable force. She finally woke up in a different way with the help of the power of "Creating the Undead".
The last queen of the ancient magical civilization is still alive.
A living person who seems to have been transformed and has the characteristics and powers of a vampire.
Under such circumstances, Yuro Ellie naturally did not take pleasure in such a bloody battlefield like the undead, but found it boring.
"Um……"
Li Ge also fell into deep thought under the gaze of everyone.
He also has little motivation to stop a war that has nothing to do with him.
In the final analysis, both parties were neither close nor related to him, and had no relationship at all, so Li Ge had no idea of which side he wanted to help.
Finally, Li Ge decided to take action.
"Just think of it as a favor to the Queen of Thistis. When we go to Urvaxi later, we can also ask the royal family for information." Li Ge raised his eyes and said: "Besides, civilians are innocent after all, Lu The reputation of the Kingdom of Ke is like that. Once the city is breached by them, they may even loot Mitt. If they get interested, it is not impossible to massacre the city and leave."
"Just think of it as taking action for innocent civilians."
The decision made by Li Ge made Lilith feel a little regretful, and also made Liz feel a little happy.
"Indeed, civilians are innocent."
"You cannot leave innocent people to die without saving them."
Ivy and Leo also cheered up and agreed with Li Ge's statement.
"Lilith."
Li Ge called out without looking back.
"Yes, Master."
Lilith immediately understood what Li Ge meant, and disappeared in a flash.
Although she was a little regretful, since it was Li Ge's order, her regrets were naturally thrown out of her mind.
It's just a little personal fun, nothing compared to the master's mood.
…………
"Hahaha……"
At this time, in the center of the battlefield, a very mighty-looking swordsman wearing blood-stained armor and holding a sharp knight's sword was panting violently, gritting his teeth, trying to support his tired body.
He is the most courageous general on this battlefield. Since the war started, he has been the first to rush into the enemy's army and kill the enemy with all his strength.
Countless enemies had died under his sword. Not only had his armor been dyed red, but his sword had also been dyed red, making his sword drip with blood.
But by now, he was already a little exhausted.
He was surrounded by countless enemies.
All the men around him had fallen on his path, leaving him behind.
He became the only one who penetrated deep into the enemy's army, but he also became a beast trapped by the enemy.
Hearing the collapse of the city gates and walls behind him, he knew that the situation was over.
"It's time to give up, Shoun Fati."
A voice sounded in front of the brave swordsman and reached his ears.
The speaker was a swordsman who was also wearing blood-stained armor and holding a sword in his hand, but his condition was unknown to him.
"Diles Kazan...!"
Xiu En glared at the man.
Just because the other party is the knight commander of the army sent by the Kingdom of Luke this time, and is the overall person in charge and commander-in-chief of the attack on Mitte.
This is the leader of the enemy and the biggest enemy in this war.
"Don't look at me like that, I'm just following orders."
Dilus showed a somewhat innocent expression, but the amusement in his eyes was not hidden at all.
"Despicable villain! Do you think I haven't heard of your name?" Xiuen gritted his teeth and said: "You have been leading the army outside the Great Wall of the Kingdom of Luke in recent years. A few years ago, you He has been wandering around the kingdom’s borders with his army, burning and killing our villages and towns wantonly, robbing our caravans of property, and has never stopped harassing the kingdom’s borders. It is simply a heinous crime!”
"A robber like you doesn't deserve to be called a knight at all!"
Listening to Xiu En's angry accusation, Dilus looked amused.
"I am not a knight in the first place, and for our country, bandit is not a derogatory term. If you want to use such words to attack me, is that too weak?"
Having said this, Dilus' expression changed.
"Now the situation has been decided, you have lost."
"Even if you are Mitte's strongest knight and have been challenged by hundreds of swordsmen and are still undefeated, you still can't save this situation."
"Hand that one over."
"I know, she was hidden by you, right?"
