Mage Joan

Chapter 818: The Big Picture

Compared with Hailar and Zion, who only sympathize with the Asa people based on morality, Joan undoubtedly has richer experience in dealing with the Asa people in real life.

He also has a deeper understanding of the aborigines of the New World than the group of young, energetic and idealistic friends around him.

As early as in his hometown of Alfheim, Joan had close contacts with the Candy family, as close as family.

He also fought side by side with the Asa people of the Algonquin tribe at the Brass Mountain Pass and shared weal and woe.

Last winter, Joan left home to study and was trapped in a snow mountain on the way. Thanks to the rescue of the Logan family from the Walsong tribe in Shizhu Town, they were lucky enough to escape the siege of snow monsters and save their lives.

Later, he visited Shizhu Town with the Logan family and was warmly received by the local simple Asa people, which left him with many kind and warm memories.

These personal experiences had a direct impact on Joan's thoughts and concepts, so he couldn't understand why people like Major James had such a strong prejudice against the Asa people.

Joan agrees with his identity as a descendant of the colonists, but this does not mean that the colonists enjoy a superior status and wider power than the aborigines in this land, nor does he think that the colonists are born smarter than the aborigines , more noble.

If the racists represented by Major James were placed on one side of the scale, and the Conti family and the Logan family were placed on the other, the balance in Joan's mind would undoubtedly favor the latter.

Thinking of this, Joan no longer hesitated, got up and walked towards Hailaer and the Zion siblings.

"Joan, are you going with us too?"

Hailaer was delighted.

"certainly."

"The reason?" Holden asked curiously.

"Actually, there is no particular reason, but I have more sympathy for the aborigines who have nothing to do with the world than some ambitious colonists."

"As for what race I am? I'm ashamed. Strictly speaking, I can't even be considered a real human being."

Of course, Joan would never forget that he was branded as a "weird" since he was born. According to Major James' standard for dividing races, people like him are even lower than the natives of the Asa tribe. wait.

If Joan supports the so-called racism, how should he face his own strange blood?

Holden, Hyrule, Audrey and Joann left one after another.

Although the reasons were different, they all followed their respective consciences and expressed their firm stance of treating colonists and aborigines equally. They did not hesitate to withdraw from combat operations for this reason and openly broke with Major James and the "racists" he represented.

The smell of gunpowder in the barracks gradually became stronger, and Major James' face became more and more ugly.

At this critical juncture, Arnold, as an intermediary between the school and the military, had to stand up to smooth things over.

"Mr. Major, I am not personally fond of natives, but allow me to state a fact to you."

"If Ms. Audrey and her partners decide to withdraw, it will be very difficult to complete the military's planned combat objectives with only our remaining manpower."

"I don't want to get involved in the conflict between the two of you. If this unnecessary dispute leads to the complete failure of the battle plan, the price paid by the students is nothing more than a few less credits. As for you, Mr. Major, I'm afraid you have to think about it carefully. How to explain your negligence to your superiors."

Arnold took a deep look at Major James, and his intentions were self-evident.

Major James' face changed continuously, and the anger in his eyes was quickly replaced by deep anxiety.

After all, Arnold was born in a family of officers, and he knew the unwritten "rules" in the army.

If things go wrong, Major James, the front-line commander, must bear the main responsibility, and the consequences may be serious enough to ruin his military career.

"In the final analysis, whether to divide troops to support Lemon Tree Township is not an important factor that can affect the success or failure of this battle. The enemy is in front of us, why bother to argue endlessly over such trivial matters that have nothing to do with the overall situation, and mess ourselves up?"

"Mr. Major, Miss Audrey, I hope that both of you can let go of your dispute, take a step back, and focus on the overall situation."

Everyone understands the principle of taking the overall situation into consideration.

But the same sentence, uttered by different people, has very different weight.

Arnold, but "Laval"—the "Laval" of Baron Benedict Laval!

No matter how angry Major James is at the moment, he has to recognize the fact that the commander-in-chief of the Midgard colony is the eldest brother of Arnold's mother.

If things got serious, even if he submitted a hundred reports to the headquarters to defend himself, it would not be as effective as Arnold saying a word in front of his elder brother.

Now that Arnold has made it clear that the division of troops to support Lemon Tree Township will not affect the overall situation, then regardless of whether this matter is really harmless to the overall situation, Major James must figure out the mind of his immediate boss' brother and make concessions that meet the opponent's intentions.

"Mr. Laval, since you also think that you might as well send troops to support Lemon Tree Township, I will seriously consider it."

Major James' words sounded ambiguous, but in fact, he was just out of face and didn't want to make the concession too explicit, as if the initiative was still in his hands.

Arnold nodded, satisfied with Mr. Major's understanding, and turned to look at Audrey and the others.

When Audrey came to the New World, her primary purpose was to make friends, not to offend anyone.

It is obviously not conducive to her cultivating pro-Canaanite forces in the Midgard colonial military to tear herself apart with a popular young officer like Major James.

Now that the other party has made concessions under Arnold's persuasion, she must also express it.

Audrey turned her head to talk to her brother in a low voice, while Holden reluctantly nodded, reluctantly agreeing to let go of the past.

Joan and Hylar could also see that Audrey deliberately played down the conflict with Major James, so she stopped insisting on breaking up and agreed to continue the combat mission.

An internal strife that almost caused the entire battle plan to fail has finally subsided.

Joan and the others broke up with Major James and returned to the camp to prepare for the night combat mission.

The troops and other interns in the camp have been divided into three companies according to Major James's instructions, and are ready to set off to assist three nearby villages and towns.

When the troops were about to leave, they suddenly received a new order.

Each of the three companies drew a platoon of troops, together with the interns temporarily transferred, and formed a team to go to Lemon Tree Township, which was not on the rescue list, to help the Asa people resist the invasion of Peridon.

Most officers and soldiers at all levels in the army understood Major James' discriminatory attitude towards the aborigines.

I was surprised to receive this latest order.

I don't understand why Mr. Major changed his attitude and took the initiative to deploy troops to support Lemon Tree Township where most of the residents are Asa people.
