Chapter 302: Uninvited Trouble
"The Glitter Gold Empire is finished."
Jenn threw the information in his hand on the table, looked at Enoa and lightly sentenced the Shining Gold Empire to death. And he really didn't just talk nonsense, through Guò Enoia's investigation, Jenn had long known that this time the Shining Gold Empire launched an attack on the Skar Federation, and the tough attitude of His Majesty the King played a considerable role in it. In fact, the initiation of every war depends on whether its ruler has a strong enough heart, after all, there is a main war faction, there is a main peace faction, and if you want to suppress those opposing voices and achieve your own goals, it is impossible for a ruler who only promises to do it.
But things change when this ruler shows his weak side, and this is the case with the current Glitter Empire, where Namerses VIII has always been an iron-blooded and ruthless image in the eyes of others, but this time he will bow his head under the pressure of Jenn. Although there is a reason for this, and Jenn's power is indeed so strong that mortals can't stop Cheng Dù, but those who have ghosts in their hearts will not face these realities, for them, they only need one result, that is, the old emperor is already weak, no longer as iron-blooded and ruthless as before, but has become a flesh-and-blood target that can be knocked down. This is the root of why the Shining Gold Empire is now beginning to unrest in the Empire.
"When used properly, a sacred and noble goal can also achieve the goal of defame, and Klein just doesn't understand that."
Looking at the scenery in the distance, Jenn clearly showed a look of contempt, and then spoke in a disdainful tone.
"Look, Enoa, I'm a hero by word of mouth now. Knight, Juggernaut. I ruined miè a pillar of the country. Let it fall into turmoil and war, and it may even become a mess of sand. Countless people are likely to die in it. But I was still revered, feared, and even loved. And I am now a hero of the Templar Order, and bards compose and sing songs in my praise and praise my deeds. That's pretty telling, isn't it? Justice, protection, divine faith, this qiē is all up to you how you use it. Human nature is evil, and the reason why they pursue sacredness and glory is precisely because they know that they can't do it with all their lives, and people praise the deeds of heroes precisely because they have a spirit of sacrifice that most human beings do not have. Bound by their nature, human beings struggle to break away from it, setting themselves goals that are almost impossible to achieve, and marching towards them with all their might, even if they are scarred. Plainly. This is a group of shaking M, as long as they find the right way to pump them, no matter how hard they smoke, they will only be immersed in that painful happiness and yearning. ”
Said here. The corners of Jenn's mouth curled slightly, revealing a hint of a smile.
"Humanity, humanity is great because of it. And because of this, he fell. This has nothing to do with good or evil, it is simply a state of existence. It's like a rock. It lies in the middle of the road if you smash away a vicious dog with it. Then that stone is naturally a good thing for you. But if you stumble over a stone and are bitten by a vicious dog in a panic, then that stone in your heart is certainly not a good thing. It's as simple as that. ”
As he spoke, Jenn spread out his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and sighed.
"It's a pity that that stupid guy Klein always doesn't listen to me, he always thinks that with enough power, he can destroy a qiē. But now, isn't his army of immortals just as stagnant? Therefore, there is really no cure for stupidity. ”
Hearing Jenn's cynicism, Enoa just stood quietly and laughed silently. The conflict between Jenn and Klein has been going on for many years, and it can even be said that since Jenn was born, he and his cheap big brother have not liked each other. It's not because of personality or any other trait, it's simply because of the difference in philosophies. Klein admires strength, and more importantly, power, and in his opinion, great power is more important than anything else. And although Jenn believes that power is important, how to use it is also important.
And this time Jenn's victory is just the direct embodiment and confrontation of the ideas of the two sides, as the son of the Demon King, Klein and Jenn are both tasked with destroying the human race. And after Klein finished building his own dungeon, he led the army of necromancy to completely exterminate an unfortunate country outside the Lost Swamp, from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, not a single living person was left. And the result? Although he succeeded in destroying the country and marching north, it was because of the brutal and bloody slaughter of his army of death that the surrounding nations were united under the leadership of the Templar and formed a coalition to stop the Necrons in the Balkus Mountains. Because they know very well that if they are sent north by the army of necromancy, then they will face the same fate as some unlucky country.
Under such fear, human beings are naturally able to exert unprecedented strength, so even Klein's undead army can no longer advance along the way.
But on the other hand, Jean also ruined a country, not only did he not get the hatred of others, but everyone praised him for what he did, of course, this is also related to the fact that he did not directly erase the people of a country. But Jenn was sure that with the decline of the Shining Gold Empire, the flames of war would only burn brighter and stronger, thus destroying a qiē. That's a lot smarter than Klein's approach.
It is precisely because of this that Jenn sneered at Klein and did not mean to take his big brother in his eyes at all. But Enoa knew very well that he had such qualifications now, and that Jenn had little power before he started the dungeon, so he wouldn't pay attention to anything Klein said. And now Jenn has made similar achievements to Klein, and has proved that his theory is correct, so Jenn naturally will not let go of this opportunity to mock Klein. The only pity is that Klein isn't here, so Jenn can't hear it anyway.
However, Jenn is also very aware of Klein's thoughts, and the reason why he has to crush him head-on is to destroy the belief of mankind. Unity, bravery. Kindness, justice. And Klein is going to use this unparalleled violence to sue humanity. What you believe in is meaningless in the face of true power. No matter how you abandon your past suspicions, cooperate sincerely, and unite as one, in the end, there will only be ruin and death. All the qiē you believe in is worthless garbage, as well as humanity itself. It is in this way that he wants to make humanity completely collapse, into total depravity and hysterical madness.
Jenn is not Klein, and he can't understand the glory of being a hero in front of him, nor the hatred and anger he felt at humans when he turned into a demon after his fall. In his opinion, this is just a game, all he has to do is to survive this game to the end, and by the way, he can get an A-S evaluation. The extermination of humanity is just a task in this game, as long as it can be completed, of course, since his purpose is to complete the task, then naturally how to cost-effective and how to come, not like Klein, who has to fight to the death and lose both sides -- even if Klein is very powerful. But what's the point?
It may make sense to Klein, but in Jenn's opinion, what he did did was not good at all except to get himself in trouble.
But Klein was willing to do it. Just let him go, anyway, the dead Daoist friend is not the dead poor Dao, and it has nothing to do with him, right?
"How's the territory going?"
"The situation in the territory is normal. Because of what you have done, the people of the city have great respect and love for you. They even spontaneously sent us some grain and crops and even special products as a token of thanks, and as for the Templar Order, Bishop Howard once offered to build a church in Passus............"
"That's all there is to it for now."
Hear here. Jenn shifted his posture and narrowed his eyes.
"Remember, though, don't get too involved in our relationship with the Templar, I don't want those guys to become fanatics of the Templar Order, and if that happens, they'd be shooting themselves in the foot......... As for the construction of the church, it was put on hold for the time being, as before. As for Howard, just find an excuse to send it away. ”
"Okay."
Hearing Jenn's answer, Enoa nodded, and then she flipped the page with a slightly sly smile.
"As for the next question, it's up to you, my lord......... It's about refugees. ”
"Refugees? Are there any problems with refugees? ”
Hearing this, Jenn was stunned for a moment, in fact, many refugees have gone to Passus and sought asylum. This is also normal, although the Shining Gold Empire has been in chaos, but the war between the Skar Federation and the Shining Gold Empire has not stopped, and in order to escape the war, many refugees have left their hometowns, and many of them have chosen to come to Passus to seek refuge. This is not surprising, after all, Passus has signed a peace agreement with the Shining Gold Empire, so in the eyes of others, no matter where the Shining Gold Empire fights, it will definitely not fight Passus, and it is also a good choice to come here to escape the war.
For these refugees, Jenn basically stayed, after all, there were no people in Passus, and there was nothing wrong with having more people and more popularity. Of course, he also set strict requirements for the refugees in the territory, so as not to cause any trouble.
Looking at Enoya's statement now, is there really something wrong with these refugees?
"That's right, master."
Perceiving Jenn's expression, Enoa quickly gave an answer.
"A few days ago, a group of Yaxing people came to the door, hoping to get shelter from us......... There were about 500 of them, men, women, and children. Right now they are stationed in the outskirts of the small town of Passus......... What should I do? ”
"Yaxing?"
Hearing this, Jenn was silent for a moment, and then his face was slightly gloomy, revealing a somewhat cold expression.
The Archen people are a well-known "refugee" people on the continent of Klein, who wander around and always hope to find a stable place to live. But in fact, this group of people was never popular with any ruler, and they did not stay anywhere for long. There are also some reasons for the nobles themselves, but the main problem comes from the Yaxing people themselves.
The Yaxing people are one of the few people among the human race who worship the goddess of the forest, Melikai, who admires nature and wildness, and disdains human civilization. In fact, their own culture is quite primitive, and not only that, but they also regard this primitive culture as a sacrosanct existence, and of course, if they just play with themselves, no one cares about them. But the problem is that this group of Yaxing people always like to measure others by their own standards and make trouble. Generally speaking, when a group of refugees moves to an area, it is natural to respect the local customs and then integrate into the other party's culture. But the Yaxing people don't do this, they stubbornly stick to their primitive and backward civilization, and they don't like the local culture in every way. The Yaxing people do not eat the meat of domesticated animals, believing that human domestication of animals is disrespectful to nature, and their meat is also unclean. So they generally live by hunting and only eat game.
Not only that, but these Yaxing people will also besiege those who they believe have violated the teachings of the Yaxing people, even if they don't even know what is happening, they will not let them go, so these guys often cause unrest and riots, which is quite a headache for the local rulers.
In addition, the "independent" tradition of the Yaxing people is also a major reason for their unpopularity. As a wandering people, the Yaxing people have always aspired to build a country of their own. It's just that these guys build their states in a disgraceful way, first disguising themselves as persecuted refugees, gaining the sympathy of others, and then entering each other's territory. Then the goblins sprang out unbridled to form one gathering area after another of the Yashings, and when they were numerous, they would take advantage of the crowd to demand respect and acknowledge their beliefs, and even to demand that the other party must act according to their teachings. Once refused, they will immediately call on all Yaxing people to stand up and "resist tyranny" and build their own "homeland" in the name of their faith being suppressed and persecuted.
The most recent victim was the Coastal Land of Swalt one hundred and fifty years ago, when the Argentine settlement occupied almost one-fifth of the land of the Maritime Country, and then they asked the king to make the religion of the Argentine people the state religion and let everyone worship the goddess of the forest, Mericay, which was naturally rejected by the Coastal Nation, which believed in the goddess of water, Revanne. After that, the Yachen people rebelled, not only attacking the temple and followers of the goddess of water, but also trying to overthrow the country.
This made the king of the coastal country at that time thunder angry, in the face of the provocation of the Yaxing people, he brazenly sent troops, bloodied the entire Casilla Peninsula, and killed the Yaxing people above from old to young. But even then, he imprisoned all the remaining Yachen and threw them into the sea to fend for themselves.
And the most ridiculous thing is that if the believers of other temples had been treated like this, they would have protested a long time ago. Poor Ashing claims that they worship Melikai, the goddess of the forest, and the Forest Temple, which represents Melikai in the Templar Order, doesn't care about what happens to these guys, as if they have nothing to do with them at all.
Since then, the Yachen people have been wandering from place to place, and their "reputation" has made the rulers of each place afraid to take in these scourges, of course, it is not that there are nobles who do not listen to the old man, but soon they will regret their decision and expel these fellows.
To put it bluntly, this group of guys is a group of pests, and whoever gets it is unlucky. It's just that Jenn didn't expect that this group of guys would be so bold as to run to their own territory.
What made him even more ridiculous was that the average refugee sought refuge outside and only entered Passus with the consent of the lord. And these guys not only came uninvited, but they actually set up camp in the heart of Passus -- this Nima still doesn't want to leave?
"Get rid of them."
Thinking of this, Jenn quickly made a decision, and then, he did not forget to add.
"If necessary, force can be used."
"Yes, master."
Hearing this, Enoa nodded.
She already knows what to do. (To be continued......)
