"That's a nice thing to say, but it's actually just picking soft persimmons and pinching them, Lord Xingbao?" A young man on the right hand side of the field stood up - to Fanley's surprise, the other party seemed to be not much older than himself, but he was able to stand up to the lord of the Black Iron Castle, "I also reiterate my opinion once again, do not forget that the purpose of our trip is revenge - revenge for the fallen Knights of the Fire!" ”

"Since it's revenge, then you have to find the culprit, right?" The young man exclaimed, "Instead of slaughtering villages that have no power to resist like demons!" ”

He raised his head and said, word by word: "We are human beings, and we should not fall to that level!" ”

"Childish!" Lord Xingbao sneered, "I doubt that the Wanderer is a rebel from our human or demonic side?" ”

Fan Li and Chen Lina were surprised to see that the group of demon hunters present and the bigwigs of the kingdom's military were arguing like this!

The Grand Duke of the Plains seemed to have long been accustomed to it, and sat in his seat expressionlessly looking at the scene in front of him.

It seems that this is not the first time such a scene has happened. After listening for a while, Fan Li and Chen Lina also roughly sorted out the current situation.

The bigwigs in this room were clearly divided into two camps, each with their own different views on the left and right sides of the Grand Duke of the Plains.

On the left-hand side, the lord of Xingbao was led by most of the demon hunters who had been famous for a long time and were in the prime of life, as well as several military generals. Their proposition is that no matter where the mysterious demon king army is, and no matter whether the demons in front of the expeditionary force are warriors or civilians, they will all kill them!

Emulate the actions of the demons in the human realm, return blood for blood, and kill him in this remnant sun realm, and the blood will flow like a river, and not a single grass will grow!

As for seizing the Guardian Ancestor as a trophy for display, they even advocated attacking a few demon villages and towns that were not strong in combat.

After all, for this expeditionary force, ordinary villages and towns, as well as ordinary lower demon clans, are almost defenseless lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

But there is also a younger generation of witchers, led by the Travelers, who oppose this bottomless strategy. Although they are not stubborn enough to insist on finding the mysterious demon army that attacked the Knights of the Flame to take revenge, their bottom line is to find a regular demon army to fight and defeat the enemy with dignity!

Only in this way can the rise of humanity be truly represented.

They are generally young people born in the last two or three decades, so they are far more confident and proud than their predecessors who have lived through the dark ages, and they believe that human beings need not be so extreme, and that the bottom line should be kept.

"Demons are cruel and unscrupulous, but we humans cannot become demons out of fear and hatred!" "The massacre of civilians means nothing to us!" said the traveler. This elite legion didn't come to the Demon Realm for this! ”

Lord Xingbao sneered: "Put away your superficiality and fantasies, chivalry? The black knights are all on our side! ”

Indeed, the iconic figure of the Knights of the Dawn, the Black Knight, a gray-haired man the same age as the Traveler, was sitting on the left side.

The handsome-looking witcher said calmly, "This is a war between two realms, two races, and there is no distinction between civilians and warriors. We, the human race, are not strong enough to be merciful to our enemies. ”

Morality and conscience are luxuries that can only be considered if you have no worries about life and have enough room to spare.

Because they have not personally experienced the most tragic period of the Dark Ages, the new generation of young demon hunters is far less hate demons than the older generation.

But it is precisely because they do not have such a layer of ideological baggage that they can "look at the demons" without fear.

As the Black Knight said, only the truly strong are qualified to show mercy to their enemies. These new generations really have the mentality and qualifications of the "strong"!

In fact, Chen Lina and Fan Li, who have been watching from the sidelines, also agree with the traveler's side - because they also belong to the new generation.

Moreover, after traveling with the migratory tribe for ten days, the two of them also have some understanding of the living conditions of ordinary demons, so they know better how the grassroots civilians of the demon realm live - in a sense, they are actually not much different from humans.

It is precisely because of understanding that it will be shaken.

But in the same way, Fan Li and the others are also very aware of the potential and nature of the demon race. Just an ordinary low-level demon can cast powerful magic effects with his talent. Moreover, in a culture that admires the strong, martial and belligerent, the path to aggression is almost inevitable!

As long as the Remnant Sun Realm is still connected to the Human Realm, then the invasion of demons is an unavoidable "natural phenomenon"! From this point of view, the views of the Black Knight and the Lord of Xingbao are the most reasonable.

Such an ambivalent mentality plunged the two into confusion.

Soon, Fan Li gave up thinking indifferently - it was pointless to think too much, just focus on hunting demon warriors, those high-ranking demons who had been promoted to centurion and above.

As for the civilians, don't bother...... As long as they don't crash into themselves.

This is also the attitude of the vast majority of witchers.

The argument lasted for more than ten minutes, and it was time for the two sides to directly engage in a physical debate.

Grand Duke Harano finally knocked on the table, calming the room.

"I know all your opinions." The majestic old man spoke calmly, "I've made my decision. ”

The witchers and generals on both sides looked at each other, but they didn't expect that while they were still arguing, the duke had already made a plan on his own.

"First of all," Grand Duke Yuan Ye looked at the group on his left, "your ideas and plans are reasonable, and strictly speaking, it should be the most suitable strategy for the current situation. ”

The traveler on the other side couldn't help but frown.

"But," the old man said, "you have only considered the feelings of the people in front of you and the people above. But ignore the future! ”

In fact, this is not to blame for the big guys on the left, their past experience tells them that they are qualified to talk about the next thing if they can survive. It's not easy to keep the present, where is the heart to look forward to the future?

This kind of practice of taking ordinary villages and towns is indeed the most suitable for the current situation, and its own losses are not large, and it can also hand in a perfect answer to the people to stabilize the social situation, which is simply a double win!

However, the consequence of this is that it is likely to destroy the military spirit and will of the expeditionary force, and the high fighting spirit that is brewing in the alliance will be completely extinguished.

At present, there is no shortage of top demon hunters in the human world, what they lack is a faith and will—the belief that humans can confront demons head-on.

This expedition is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

You must fight the Demon Legion head-on and break the veil of "mystery" and "power" on the Demon Legion.

And if this kind of unscrupulous retaliation is adopted, it will extinguish this fighting spirit. Especially the demon hunters in the expeditionary force will have the illusion that even the legion that the strongest combat power of all mankind can only sneak attack the small villages of the demon world!

Such a demon hunter will never be able to defeat the demon!

"And most importantly," Yuan Ye Da Ming asked the Xingbao Lord beside him to calm down, "Judging from the current situation, we are not allowed to carry out your tricky tactics. ”

"Because all the villages around the base have been abandoned! The only ones that are still worth attacking are a few cities that have reached a certain size. And because this place is in the border area of the Remnant Sun Realm, these cities are all fortress-level hard bones! ”

In other words, there is no choice but to storm them.

Lord Xingbao frowned: "Is there really not a single village or town left that remains?" Could it be that the demons have already discovered us, in the wilderness? ”

Grand Duke of the Plains shook his head: "It's unlikely, with the temperament of the demons, if they really find the expeditionary force, they will definitely come to attack the army, instead of adopting this posture of shrinking and defensive." ”

"Our scouting found that the villages were largely recently abandoned, with some traces of fighting, but more often than not, organized migrations."

"According to the analysis of the General Staff, as well as the predictions of the Holy Prophet, it is likely to be related to this fortress base, which was also abandoned for no reason." Grand Duke of the Wilderness tapped a finger on the table, "What is certain is that these anomalies are not intended for us. ”

Hearing this explanation, the people on the left also calmed down. Because their strategy has been unrealized, since this is the case, then they can only honestly carry out the decisive battle according to the original plan.

They were also all big men on the side of the Alliance and the Kingdom, and the previous argument was only to reduce the losses of the expeditionary force, but definitely not because of fear of war.

Speaking of which, when it comes to the will and combat effectiveness to fight tough battles, the bigwigs on the left are definitely more tenacious and powerful than the new generation on the right.
