Chapter 1045 New Order
In this conference room, many people are focusing on just two things:
A series of mysteries surrounding the witcher, and where the alien race will go from here.
Now that Hao Ren has clearly answered the first question, it's natural to discuss the direction of the second question.
When each family still didn't know what happened within the witcher, they didn't know what to do next. Because they were not sure whether the natural enemy had really disappeared, they divided into several factions, including the radical faction in the square, the discussion group The conservatives in the hall, the investigators scouting the situation outside the asylum, the tea drinkers sipping their tea in the corner of the room, and the bastards like Hesperus, and now the Witcher's Mist has finally been revealed. After being revealed, many of the arguments among these factions have lost their basis, and everyone can finally consider the next future with a clearer mind.
"The witchers have not disappeared, they are still there," Gene Lucas first pointed out the most critical factor. "Although the hunting has ended, they are still there - this is the biggest problem. Her Excellency, Countess, You are now the…er, leader of the witcher, what do you think the witcher will do next?”
When Gene Lucas said the last sentence, the expression on his face was so distorted that he almost lost his appearance. This old vampire who always advocated aristocratic restraint and elegant words and deeds could hardly maintain his image at this moment. He had never met him in his life. I have experienced such a painful thing: I know every word I say, but when combined, it sounds like a lunatic...
"Honorary leader, honorary leader," Vivian waved her hands, "and legally I am not even higher than the husky next to me. And you also know that the demon hunter cannot really hand over power to the two of us, so In fact, our binding force on them is still approximately zero. But I can be clear about the attitude of the witchers: they will not continue to hunt, but they will continue to maintain the 'balance' in the world. This balance is the status quo. They have stopped hunting. Killing is because there is no reason to continue the war with aliens, but if you take the initiative to declare war - even if it is to declare war on humans, they will find this reason."
"So we still have to be locked up in these shelters?" The old werewolf Hogwarf slapped the table heavily, "Maintaining balance? Does the so-called balance mean that we hide in the gutter forever? Times have changed, Vivian ?Your Excellency Ancesta, we must also change. We want honor..."
Before the old werewolf finished speaking, Yzaks hugged his arms and laughed: "Honor is fart, what you want is profit."
Who is Yzaks? In his life, he had... seen more people than anyone else at the scene knew. He had seen every aspect of life including traffickers and pawns, kings and beggars. Although he himself was ultimately defeated by "people's hearts", he was still able to grasp people's hearts thoroughly. This old devil knows very well that soldiers can fight for honor, ordinary men can die for honor, and even loyal ministers and good generals can generously die for honor, but only qualified leaders do not talk about this.
Because behind the leader are the lives and deaths of countless people, his "honor" is to seek benefits for his people, and they only need to talk about this.
Yzaks also showed up a lot in the Sanctuary. This powerful demon king's words were quite weighty. His simple and straightforward way of expression made the family leaders and power representatives present look sideways. Hessiana couldn't help but He couldn't help but mutter: "Big man, why do you speak so seriously..."
"Well, I quite like this way of speaking," Hogwarts was quite happy after being snatched away by Yzaks. The old werewolf twitched his lips and showed a smile that was as lethal as Yzaks. , "Anyway, everyone present is a sensible person, and Vivian is also a respected elder. Don't play any tricks in front of her. Yes, interests - only this can maintain the balance. To be honest, I don't agree with attacking the human world. , because I know that humans are not easy to deal with now, and the demon hunters have not disappeared now. It would be unwise to run out and start a war. But I also don’t agree with continuing to stay in the shelter and guarding these barren alien spaces. There is no future. There is a vast and fertile world outside us, and this world should have our place."
"The current main body of civilization on this planet is human civilization," Hao Ren knocked on the table, "And you... you are not even considered a civilization now. You are almost dependent on human society for survival, so you should know it. Counterattacking the Earth is not realistic."
"The way you talk makes me uncomfortable," Gene Lucas shrugged, "but you have a point."
"You think too much of human beings," a night demon lord who had never spoken at the scene suddenly said, her eyes flashing as if containing thunderstorms, "I understand human society, their war machines and races There is no doubt about their overall destructiveness, but they themselves are very fragile, and the destructive power they control far exceeds their own capabilities, which means that they are actually easily defeated."
After saying that, the Night Demon lady turned around and stared into Hao Ren's eyes without giving in: "There are not a few people who think like me. We all know that human beings are difficult to deal with, but we also know that they are not impossible to deal with. As long as this 'hope' still exists, there will always be restless people who want to try their luck. And more importantly... A few years ago, humans were just our slaves, so if there is even the slightest chance, we can The slaves are put back in cages, and many will try their luck.”
Compared with those young people shouting and campaigning in the square, this night devil lady represents the truly dangerous alien group.
They are not impulsive activists, but they have a certain grasp of the situation on this planet. They are a group of people who are still restless despite knowing the strength of mankind and the remaining power of today's demon hunters. This kind of group that takes actions after careful consideration is more troublesome.
But Hao Ren didn't care, he just spread his hands: "Yes, after my calculations, if the time and place are just right, and the different races can really seize every opportunity at hand, you really have a 'probability' Defeat humanity.”
As soon as these words came out, there was a strange commotion in the conference room. Even Hesiana looked at Hao Ren curiously, wondering what he meant.
"You are the ultimate winner." Hao Ren ignored the commotion. He just tapped on the data terminal and displayed a set of holographic projections. The projections showed the earth after the scorched earth. "You will undoubtedly win." Gain ownership of the planet - but your population will be reduced to only 2,000 to 3,000 people, as only the top supernatural beings can survive such a war. Otherwise, humanity will be wiped out, and the ecosystem will be wiped out. So is the circle, so is the witcher. This is the best outcome I can imagine: you win and rule the planet. The last two thousand of you who survive will become the masters of the earth, ruling over all the radiation craters, Sludge swamps, poisonous rivers, and hot deserts of radioactive dust. You will continue to survive on this planet in a form similar to primitive humans. Your main food is the decay left over from the last century and the mud in the craters. Your survivability is the highest. The strong few will survive until the end - and then survive forever in the mud until the next planet's life cycle restarts."
The holographic projection was over. Hao Ren knocked on the table to bring the people present back to their senses. He supported the table with both hands and said expressionlessly: "You don't think you don't need to die in a war, do you? You don't think you can crush a giant enemy?" A complete victory, right? Both sides of the war need to pay a price, and this price is much greater than the benefits you can gain. Since you can't crush humans, you must be prepared to lose both sides. Believe me, that kind of victory is definitely not as good as Your days in the sanctuary are comfortable.
"So, since your goal is to seek greater benefits, rather than fight to the death with mankind for the nonsense of 'historical honor,' then why do you choose such a mindless war route?"
Perhaps the "victory ending" he described was too shocking, or perhaps the family leaders in the venue had actually considered the cost of victory before. In short, the scene fell into a temporary silence.
A mere set of virtual images and Hao Ren's empty words would definitely not be able to convince these veterans, but these people themselves were not fools, and they could naturally discern the most reliable part of Hao Ren's words.
"Then we can only take a compromise approach," Gene Lucas said. His eyes fell on Vivian. He knew that the ancient man might have made some arrangements, and might even have made arrangements with the witcher. Some kind of agreement has been reached over there, and all the arguments and conclusions now are actually just paving the way for this "arrangement." "You can make it clear."
"Aliens do not need to continue to hide in shelters in the future, but they cannot interfere with human civilization; there is a truce between demon hunters and aliens, and subsequent negotiations will be discussed separately; a regulatory organization is formed. Since the old balance and order can no longer be maintained, then we Just establish a new one and use a new organization to control those ethnic groups who leave the sanctuary and enter human society..."
Vivian directly told Hao Ren what she had agreed with Hao Ren one by one.
