Chapter 736: Cooperation Talks
In a building in the center of the fortress.
This is where all the generals have various meetings.
At this time, Raphael was representing Kane's side, negotiating with the generals present and the bishop.
"It's a pleasure to meet the generals, you can call me Rafael, and this time I will come to have some discussions and cooperation with you on behalf of our president."
All the generals present also nodded and made the following brief self-introduction to Raphael.
"Mr. Russell said he wants to cooperate with our Holy Light Alliance, do you want to join us or ......?"
The bishop asked with some confusion, after all, the so-called Holy Light Alliance was only formed because of the threat of the undead, an external force.
It is an alliance formed spontaneously by all people in the face of a big crisis in order to protect themselves.
Raphael shook his head at the bishop's question.
"It's not about joining, it's about cooperating with the entire Holy Light Alliance, after all, our country's homeland is not here, but on the other side of the sea."
"With all due respect, Monsieur Raphael, I don't know much about you, nor do I know why you're here.
Can you tell us a little bit more about your power? ”
Said one of the generals.
After all, Kane, these generals hardly know any information about them.
The sudden appearance saved them.
Raphael nodded at the general's words: "Of course there is no problem, our Lantern Kingdom was formed by the Explorers and the natives of the World Ring, and it will always carry out the will of the mist. ”
"The reason why I came here is also because of the threat of the undead forces, these undead have caused too many casualties to the surrounding area, implicating many ordinary people."
"They turned a blind eye to the Fog's warnings, and we were tasked with annihilating them."
Although Raphael is pulling the banner of the fog, there is no problem with what he says.
Because the fog is indeed a mission to the explorer to annihilate the forces of the undead, so it is okay to say so.
Hearing Raphael's answer, the generals present exploded.
"You're explorers? The outside world is ...... How? ”
The bishop was the first to ask questions, and they were too curious.
Although they are not the most perimeter here, unlike Kane and the others who lean against the wall of mist.
But it's also in the final ring, and it's not too far from the Wall of Fog on the Border.
And now that the World Ring has only been open for a year, naturally not many explorers will come to this kind of place.
Even if you come, you will hide it.
This led them to be very curious about the outside world, and the existence of explorers was only known when they heard the story of the fog when the ring of the world was opened.
Their specific knowledge of the world is limited, and if they have to say, they may only begin to understand the world for a year.
Knowing the outside world, knowing the existence of the Mist, and what the role of the explorer is, has always been the information that all of them want to know.
"Not all, only some are explorers, such as the members of the Knights, who are residents of the native land, and are also people of the Lantern Kingdom."
"As for the intelligence of the outside world, as long as you cooperate with us, of course, these will not be hidden from you."
After hearing Raphael's words, the generals and bishops began to talk in whispers.
After a while, the bishop said to Raphael: "You know that we are only the person in charge of the various forces sent to defend this fortress, and whether we can cooperate or not is not something we can decide.
But you can let us know what you want to work with, and we'll send messengers to the leaders of the various factions first. ”
Hearing the bishop's words, Raphael nodded: "Of course, it should be, but we don't have much time, and I hope you can reply as soon as possible." ”
Hearing Raphael's words, the bishop nodded: "Yes, I will be able to receive a specific reply in just two days." ”
On some matters of the Union, the bishop can report directly to the Pope.
At least it won't be like the various administrative bodies of those forces, which are grinding and not being decided.
"In that case, I'm here to begin to explain some of the needs we need."
"First of all, you should know that the fog does not allow the massacre of ordinary people on a large scale, which is why those undead forces are wanted by the fog."
At Raphael's words, everyone nodded.
Normal forces are ostensibly maintaining such rules.
Then Raphael frowned and said in a very serious tone: "But the refugee problems we have seen along the way are very difficult for us to accept. ”
Hearing Raphael's words, the faces of the generals couldn't help but show panic.
At least as the top brassips, they also know what is going on with these refugees and what will happen to them.
But even they, even if they are sympathetic to the refugees, can't do anything.
That is not the responsibility of a certain force or the current Holy Light Alliance.
Even the bishop could only sigh.
"My lord, I'm sure you've seen it all the way, and it's hard for us to sustain even our own people, let alone these refugees."
"Being able to get them to build shelters around the city is already the biggest effort we can make."
This is not a lie, the presence of these refugees has also increased the crime rate in all cities, making law and order in all cities urgent.
Not to mention the interference of the undead forces now, there are not so many guards who can patrol at all.
If not for the rules of the fog.
"Of course, of course I know your difficulties, so I'm not here to ask the teacher."
"We're here to help you with this."
"Resolved?" The bishop's voice was puzzled.
As the ruler of the fortress and the bishop of the church, he knew the approximate number of refugees.
"Your Excellency, you must know that the number of refugees is close to 3 million!"
The bishop was afraid that Raphael would not know the number of refugees, so he reminded him emphatically.
He then took down the map hanging on the wall behind him and laid it out in front of Rafael.
"Before the World Ring was opened, the area of the undead was always limited here, only such a small area."
He pointed to a small plot of land not far away, which was a valley with only two exits in front and back.
The area is equivalent to the area occupied by the Knights of the Lantern in the Ring of the World in the earliest days.
Pointing to a red area on the map, the bishop said, "But in just one year they have expanded their scope to such a wide extent. ”
"There are countless intelligent races living on it, but most of them have been killed by them, and there are very few refugees who have escaped."
"But there are too many forces that have been destroyed, and even then there are about 3 million refugees!"
The red area on the map has a total area equivalent to Kane's current lantern collar multiplied by between 3 and 4 times.
With such a huge range, only 3 million lives escaped.
It can be seen how exaggerated the natural disaster caused by the undead has reached.
Raphael looked at the map and began to suspect that they were here because the fog had given Kane a mission.
It would be strange that such an exaggerated fog of casualties did not react.
However, the number of 3 million did not exceed Raphael's budget.
They had predicted that the number of refugees might be around one or two million, and that 3 million was acceptable.
After all, they had already encountered the undead before they entered District 3, which shows how extensive the war was caused by those undead.
"3 million, no problem. Don't underestimate our capabilities, after all, we're here to solve these problems. ”
Hearing Raphael say this, the bishop could only nod his head and say nothing more.
"How can we help with this?"
Hearing the bishop's words, Raphael said: "We will help you solve the problem of the refugees, but you will have to send soldiers or propaganda to the refugees and bring them to the place we have designated. ”
"We'll have enough boats on the beach to pick up these refugees, and we don't even need you to provide food."
Hearing Raphael's words, the generals looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion.
Isn't that different from pie in the sky?
Is it just a matter of sending some soldiers and some personnel to bring these refugees to the designated places?
They don't even need to provide any food.
For a moment, they even began to wonder if Kane's power was wrong.
"It's no wonder that we have the strength to transport all these millions of people, and there is no shortage of food for us during this period."
Hearing Raphael's words, these generals didn't say anything more.
It seems right to think about it, after all, it's just that the vanguard forces are so strong.
The combat power of those forces that was originally left behind will only be stronger, and it seems that it is not difficult to imagine if you think about it this way.
Maybe that's the money.
"This shouldn't count as cooperation, it's equivalent to you helping us."
Hearing the bishop's words, Raphael waved his hand: "No, no, no, it is the purpose of our kingdom to protect ordinary people within our ability, to keep them away from mortal dangers, and to give them a better life." ”
"It's also foggy, I want to see it." With that, Raphael stared at the crowd in front of him.
"I hope that you will also bring this sentence to the ears of your respective leaders, and we will faithfully fulfill and implement the rules and purposes of the fog."
"Even if you of the Holy Light Alliance do something unforgivable, then we ......"
Raphael's words were not finished, but the meaning of the warning was already conveyed.
The generals also understand.
Anyway, they feel that it doesn't matter in their hearts, this is a problem that those noble lords and those political ministers should consider.
Besides, it is good to be nice to be nice to the civilians in their hearts.
Not to mention that the bishop already agreed very much in his heart.
But how to threaten people when he talks about it.
But it did leave a deep impression on their minds.
It seems that Kane's forces are not very easy to mess with.
Eternity carries out the will of the mist, coupled with the momentum and great strength that Kane exuds.
It's hard not to think that this force might have something to do with the Mist.
