5. The first cry of the giant (19)

PS: Yesterday's prize quiz is still valid, everyone participate in it!

As far as the eye can see, there is killing and death.

Boats, houses, courtyards, churches - all that remains is ruins, and the products of civilization have been reduced to smoke overnight.

The human beings, who created the products of the zΓ o civilization, could not escape the violence of destruction, and were swallowed up by the torrent of power, and then tormented and burned by the karmic fires of hell.

The scenery began to change again, and the city of Guernica, which was engulfed in fire. Everywhere there were crumbling ruins and charred corpses curled up in strange postures, and in several places the roads were blocked by fleeing crowds, and after these people were burned to death, the corpses still blocked the streets, and from the pile of corpses, a delicate arm stretched out into the sky. It was as if it was a cry for help, or perhaps an attempt to seize the red sky. Now it's just frozen there.

Staring at death and ruin, Li Lin did not change at all, and looked coldly.

There is no sadness to be gained from it, nor a heterogeneous pleasure that defies ethics, but only to watch quietly and wait in the ladder of thought.

With the sound of his fingers, the dark room was filled with more furniture, and as he slowly fiddled with the black coffee, the supreme will of Wilt descended silently.

"You're going too far. ”

After the sound sounded in the space, and Li Lin observed the tragic scenes of various battlefields through the Wings of Death, the will of the god-planet sighed at Li Lin's indifference.

Listen to the sigh of the mother goddess, and the red eyes do not move. Reward with an empty answer.

"You don't think it's too much because of this little thing, right?"

"How is that possible? Didn't you say it too? It's just 'this little thing'. ”

It is not too much of a problem for humans or orcs to die in tens of thousands, millions, or hundreds of millions, even if one of the civilizations collapses, leading to the genocide of this intelligence. For the planet itself, as long as it does not affect the survival of the planet, it is all a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning.

"Of course, if we can control the number and suppress the development of civilization, that is the best result. ”

Originally, the Mother Goddess's request to Li Lin was to "appropriately reduce the number of people and suppress the power of humans and orcs." Construct a new order. ”

To do this kind of thing. It is clear that this cannot be achieved by bloodless peaceful means.

"Isn't it too early? The elven camp doesn't have the ability to suppress one faction yet?"

On the black sofa sat a woman in a black veil, without mouth, eyes, nose and ears, unable to see even muscles and skin, and her black hole-like face seemed to be full of loving laughter. As if soothing the cat's tone, he said:

"I'm not against you using massacres and the like. But even if you rely on advanced weapons and tactics. Inflicting heavy casualties on Castile, the overall disadvantage remains unchanged. ”

"No way, the situation is forcing it. ”

"A calculating savior like you. Errors will happen too?"

"No matter how you calculate it, small errors are always there, and the accumulated errors are like a bend that eventually shifts the situation away from the set trajectory. ”

Richelieu's wisdom, Charles IV's trust in Richelieu, and the resilience of the conservative forces - these parameters were miscalculated, leading to the danger of the second prince leaving the center stage;

The restlessness of the conservatives and radicals within Alfheim, the demoralization of the army in the training and covert battles day after dayβ€”these miscalculations made the voices of reconciliation with humanity within the elven camp begin to be louder;

"Even supercomputers have a certain range of errors. The accumulation of these errors necessitated the use of extraordinary measures, but in the eyes of the workers, the situation did not exceed the threshold of deviation. ”

In order to reverse the increasingly divergent development, war became the best solution.

Testing new weapons and accumulating combat experience for the army -- these are only the details of the grand strategy, and the Defence Force is far from being able to surface.

"When it comes to strength, logic and emotion are not to be discussed. Whether it is the soul of Yamato or the Juche ideology, these messy spiritualism is a scum in front of the steel output index. And now, the elven camp is not at all equipped to establish a new order with bayonets and cannons. It would be a good choice to add some chaos to the humans in the name of Titans and accelerate the collapse of the old order. ”

Li Lin put down the black coffee and sipped the tea quietly with an anthropomorphic spirit.

Whether they are arrogant or cheeky, all they have to think about is how to reduce the number of intelligent species and establish a world system that can be controlled. It doesn't matter how many people die for this.

But the perfect plan met with unexpected resistance.

Most of them stop working after a mechanical breakdown, but in rare cases, they can continue to work unexpectedly.

Without the intervention of the Mother Goddess, this world continues to operate according to the law of inertia is also one of the very few examples.

"This system is still functioning effectively after losing your power to interfere, rejecting any danger that could cause a split within the human camp. ”

After a pause, Li Lin raised a finger.

"I have to assume that this system is different from the one you maintained in the past, and it is like a collection of unconscious human instincts, resisting our impulses to interfere and induce war. ”

β€œ...... Although reluctant to admit it, this is the most likely explanation"

The meaning of the existence of living beings is nothing more than the continuation of life, from which derives the most basic instinct of struggle.

Humans have a strong fighting instinct, and although they are not as eager as the orcs, nor as long lived and proficient in magic as the ancient elves, this race with very average indicators has a strong urge to rebel against the gods, which is stronger than any other race.

A look at the example of the previous "Substitute" Lenado Dahlke shows just how strong the rebellious spirit of humanity is. It is just the understanding that he is a being raised, a pawn of God's intervention and interference in human development, plus the factor of love. A generation of heroes who can be called the strongest surrogate, he didn't hesitate for even a second, and chose to turn his back on the gods he believed in before.

What would humans do if they knew that all they enjoyed right now was the peace of a domestic animal in a cage?

"Therefore, Stardust combat is a must. Rather than allowing humanity to accumulate discontent until it explodes, it is better to let this sector blow itself up internally. Losing the system on which they can rely and turning against each other for one reason or another -- this kind of scattered opponent is the easiest to solve. ”

"Okay...... I'll leave it to you as soon as I get it. ”

Leaving behind the words of understanding, the black hole face gradually dissipated, and finally disappeared from the thought elevator. In the empty black living room, only Li Lin was left.

The fingers of his right hand rattled, and a three-fast screen appeared on the black wall.

- Tighten the belly of the mount with the stirrup, urging the Castilian messenger of the dragon to rush to Ymir;

- the red arrows that follow the railway line south, like a bloody wound, on a huge military map, from near Perpignan to Azulgrana, an important town in northeastern Castile;

- Restless Roland sitting in his bedroom;

"The kid...... It's so kind, who is this like......"

Leaving a strange word, Li Lin also withdrew from the imaginary world. (To be continued......)
