After Princess Martha had collected everything in the last room, the rest of the process became lackluster.

After Luo Xiaotian told Princess Martha the location of the hidden passage, there was nothing special to gain over there. When I went up to the room where I had met Leander before, I didn't go far before I encountered a collapsing passage, blocking both the exit and the entrance.

At this point, Brown and Luo Xiaotian's task has been completed, so Princess Martha took the previous knight Todd and the two magicians who were filled with some liquid in the space props and didn't know what kind of liquid they were going to return to Phoenix first.

Of course, it is impossible to go back to Phoenix City or something! Running into Phoenix City with so many hidden dangerous things? Neither the princes and nobles nor the common people will agree, and the slightest carelessness will cause panic or cause an irreparable situation.

The place they were heading to was a facility about ten kilometers away from Phoenix, and if anyone happened to pass by and saw the knights and soldiers firmly guarding outside, they might think that this was a barracks.

In a sense, this is indeed a barracks, most of the court magicians are here, most of them are mid-level magicians who are proficient in alchemy and potions, and there are only two high-level magicians.

These are all things that Luo Xiaotian heard from Princess Martha, Luo Xiaotian also saw Christian in a deep state here, without the robe on the outside, Luo Xiaotian found that Christian was so thin, and now he was even more pale and helpless, his brows were tightly locked, as if he was having some painful nightmare.

"You have one room for each of these two rooms, and you all stay here until there is a result. ”

It wasn't Princess Martha who spoke, but a middle-level magician with somewhat messy hair, and when Princess Martha arrived, she left the two of them to the middle-level magician and went somewhere else.

"If there is no problem, go in, knock on the door if there is anything, and we will meet the general requirements. ”

... House arrest again, but in a different place.

Once inside, the door was locked from the outside, and when I looked around the room, there was a bed, a table, a toilet, and of course, nothing else. But... It would be nice to have a bed!

I don't know what happened to Chrissy or if she was put back in school.

As for the rest of the things, I'm afraid it's not something that Luo Xiaotian can participate in.

......

"What is the nature of war? Before we talk about this, we need to figure out, what is war?"

This is one of the books sent in from outside, the name is "The Art of War", Luo Xiaotian saw this book at first sight, as for why, of course, it is because of "The Art of Explosion".

This is already Luo Xiaotian's second day here, and it is indeed as the previous middle-level magician said, as long as it is not too exaggerated to ask, he will be satisfied here.

Although I obviously wanted a personal biography, most of the books sent from outside were about war and history.

"Here, we are not going to give a lengthy political definition of war at the outset, but only to talk about the elements of war – fighting. War is nothing more than an expanded struggle. If we want to think of the myriad fights that make up a war as a unity, then it is better to imagine a situation in which two people fight. Each side seeks to force the other to submit to his will by physical strength, and his immediate aim is to break the other so that the other can no longer put up any resistance. ”

Of course, in reality, the struggle between only two people cannot be called a war, and it is not enough to have one, two, or ten times more, but the real war is a unified struggle that spreads to an entire ethnic group or country and pulls countless lives. As mentioned earlier, the purpose of war is to force the enemy to obey our will. Here, again, we need to figure out who the enemy is.

Here's an example that might be able to strip the definition of enemy away from a mere one side of the war and go deeper into the nature of the war. ”

"The Ancient Rodnia Empire is a landlocked country originating in the middle of the continent, founded more than 1,000 years ago, and next to it is the Gutop Empire, which has only been established for a hundred years. On the other hand, the ancient Rodnian Empire, with its long years of harsh governance, caused domestic complaints, and the right to speak was firmly controlled by the aristocracy, who used various means to increase their slaves and land, and disdained the demands of the commoners, and anyone who raised a different opinion would be suppressed and then become the new slave of the nobles. ”

"The boiling public opinion is like a volcano about to erupt, and it may be out of control the next moment, but at this moment, war suddenly broke out. The war with the neighboring country of Gutop soon spread to half of the ancient Rodnia Empire, the cause of which was no longer known, and both sides considered themselves righteous, and as a result, more and more land and lives were being lost due to several miscalculations by the Ancient Rodnian Empire. Half of the Ancient Rrodnia Empire was being ravaged by the enemy's iron cavalry, and half of the Ancient Rrodnia Empire lived in panic every day. The ancient Rodnian Empire began to call on the people to protect their homeland and drive out the invaders, countless young people went to the battlefield with the desire to defend their homeland, and the empire was united as one, and heroes began to appear, they were active in every corner of the battlefield, bringing victory and emotion to the empire, and the nobles of the empire took the lead, and the king himself went to battle. Finally, it seems that with the efforts of everyone, the situation is reversed, and the ancient Rodenian Empire has regained the land that has been usurped, and in the face of devastation, the people of the ancient Rodnian Empire are struggling to rebuild their homeland while denouncing the hateful invaders. At this time, while singing the praises of the heroes and nobles who sacrificed their lives, the ancient Rodnian Empire spread the ugliness and ferocity of the enemy to the people through various channels, deepening their hostile consciousness towards the Gutop Empire. ”

"Okay, this story is over for the time being, then, for the ancient Rodnia Empire, who is the enemy? Is it the Gutop Empire? And who should represent the ancient Rodenian Empire here? The king, the nobles, or the vast majority of the commoners? In this war, whoever loses the most is the loser, so if we look at the skin of the entire Ancient Rodnia Empire and the Gutop Empire, we see the most seriously injured civilians. What do the nobles and royalty have to lose?The lost soldiers will always be replaced, the ruined city does not need to be done by them, it is a good thing to have an enemy who is eyeing you by your side anyway, and there is nothing easier to control than the civilians who need to be protected. Therefore, it is not possible to make a bold assumption here, that the enemies of all wars are the people themselves, but the purpose of war is not to destroy the enemy physically, but the ultimate goal is to destroy the people mentally. ”
