Chapter 296 They Will only Be Grateful for the Outcome of This War

One month is neither long nor short.

In terms of time in the abyss, one month is very long.

In one month, not a single bit of experience was gained, and not a single treasure chest was collected. This is not easy to endure.

If we only look at the changes in Sand City, then this month is not long.

Zheng Yu directly downloaded some books needed for "awakening" from the system, and then instilled them all into Mark like a cramming.

As a skeleton creature, Mark's learning ability is comparable to that of a computer.

History, humanities, politics...

These knowledge can constantly refresh Mark's three views and establish a philosophical system for Mark that is far superior to the skeleton wasteland.

Then use Mark to guide the aliens in Sand City.

Because time is short, Zheng Yu's approach is... forced learning.

The first group of people who entered Mark's study class were the group of drunkards in the bar. Under the pressure of Zheng Yu's tyranny, they had to study.

But the effect was unexpectedly good.

This group of big men who could find joy in suffering in this environment were the first to take up the banner of resistance.

However, those aliens who were really oppressed to the point of numbness could not understand what Mark said at all.

Freedom?

Can it be eaten as food?

Rebellion?

Won't they die?

These questions cannot be explained clearly to them, but looking at history, it is not necessary for everyone to understand, just someone to take the lead.

With Mark's leadership, it is obvious that the effect is good now.

Of course, another part of the credit actually comes from the group of aliens who have already developed consciousness.

That is, the "opinion leader" who was hung at the gate of Sander City, and the few people he cultivated.

That's right, there are only a few.

The number looks small.

But the actual significance is very great.

These few people are the key reason why Zheng Yu changed the plan of "destroying Sander City" to "controlling Sander City".

In addition to Mark and Kanmu.

Originally, Zheng Yu planned to destroy Sander City directly by force, and he managed to control the city.

At the beginning, in order to enter the restricted area as soon as possible to rescue Chai Fang, Zheng Yu made a plan to directly seize the city by force.

Sander City is the gift he prepared for the second prince.

It was his ticket to enter this power game.

Later, he received information from Chai Fang's second larva, confirming that Chai Fang was safe in the short term, and Chai Fang's description of the restricted area.

Zheng Yu decided to change his plan.

He still entered the power game of the empire.

But he wanted to be the controller.

According to Chai Fang's description, the restricted area was not something that a few unawakened professionals could easily break into, and they needed the power of the empire.

In the past, there were professionals who tried to take the path of power, but they could not influence a country in a short period of time.

The place defined as a restricted area by the empire is not a place where professionals can send troops to enter with a few words.

Therefore, Zheng Yu must become an important role in this power struggle.

Only in this way can he be qualified to negotiate with them.

"If you want to solve the restricted area, you must solve the chaotic internal disputes in the empire, and then use the power of the empire to solve the restricted area..."

"It's so troublesome."

This is the only way Zheng Yu can think of to pass the level.

So, Zheng Yu sighed about the trouble.

That's why Zheng Yu was willing to spend a month to deal with the affairs of Sand City, because the value of Sand City cannot be replaced at all.

A place that can continuously produce skeleton materials is useless if it is destroyed, but if Sand City can be completely controlled, it can become a good bargaining chip.

"Boom--"

A huge explosion occurred in the distance of Sand City, and the rising smoke foreshadowed the beginning of the war in this city.

"It's already started."

Mark beside Zheng Yu said excitedly.

"You seem to hope that there will be a war here, and many people will die." Zheng Yu looked at the chaotic scene in the distance and said.

Mark still had the same attitude as before, "War always kills people."

"But..."

"If there is no war, more people will die."

"If you want to overthrow a certain system, the only way... is war. Apart from that, there is no faster solution than war."

"But..."

Mark said with a somewhat inexplicable tone, looking at Zheng Yu.

"As you said before, these aliens now only have a certain will, but they don't have the strength to resist the empire. Even Hydson's troops can easily suppress this rebellion."

"If we lose this time, the final result will be just a meaningless resistance."

Zheng Yu smiled and said, "No need to beat around the bush."

"I can guarantee that the aliens will win this struggle."

"What I want is victory. Only victory can bring me benefits. The epic left by failure is meaningless to me."

Mark was relieved after getting Zheng Yu's affirmative answer.

This alien uprising, which was controlled by Zheng Yu behind the scenes and led by Mark, was a battle doomed to fail in the eyes of others.

How can unarmed people fight against Hydson's fully armed skeleton warriors?

No matter how advanced the ideology Zheng Yu promoted was, no matter how many students Mark taught, the final competition was still hard power.

"It needs to see some blood."

Zheng Yu said the reason why he was reluctant to take action.

"Only blood can make this war more meaningful. I need not only a Sand City, but the support of all the aliens."

"This is my bargaining chip."

Zheng Yu saw a trace of reluctance on Mark's face, so he smiled and asked: "Is this reluctance also imitating?"

Mark's expression still showed reluctance, but his tone revealed a mechanical expression, "I think... this expression should be right now."

"It should be like this." Zheng Yu agreed.

"In your position, facing compatriots who have to die, you should have this kind of emotion, because they are your students and the descendants who inherit your ideas."

"The character I gave you is a pioneer."

Zheng Yu said this expressionlessly.

Mark stared at Zheng Yu for a long time, and finally said: "You are a little cold-blooded."

"Yeah."

Zheng Yu did not refute.

Because in this month, he has hinted to himself countless times that many people will die in the upcoming war, and the dead people...are aliens.

"I just... have a more important burden."

"I can't be the savior of all worlds, but I have to be responsible for the world I live in. I can't save everyone."

"So, there's nothing wrong with being a little cold-blooded."

"And..."

"In this war, I will save more people than die. No one will remember my conspiracy. They will only be grateful for the result of this war."

Zheng Yu said with cold eyes.
