Chapter 222: Peaceful Coexistence (II)
"How many years have you been in the army?"
"Thirty-five years. Although Xiude was surprised why Andre would ask such a question at this time, he still subconsciously answered the other party.
"Thirty-five years," Andrei nodded, and then asked, "Do you want to be a soldier for the rest of your life?"
"I..." Xiude just wanted to say, he wanted to be a soldier for the rest of his life, he loved this profession, he wanted to protect the people, even if he shed blood and sacrificed!
"You think, then you have to fight against the monster for the rest of your life! Do you want to see the robes that were born and died in front of you one by one because of the battle?"
As soon as these words came out, Xiude suddenly didn't know how to speak, he didn't expect Andre to say such things later, who wants to see his brother who was born and died leave? This made Xiude fall silent for a while.
However, Andre didn't stop at all, he didn't give Xiude too much time to think, so he aggressively asked: "If there is a battle, there must be sacrifice, we humans and monsters have been fighting for so many years, even in modern times, with the means of science and technology, we have stabilized the current territory and suppressed every dangerous place, but the number of deaths in the army every year because of the battle still exceeds 1,000! And this number is still in the so-called peaceful era, if those monsters attack again as thousands of years ago, how many people will die? Have you ever thought about it?"
Hearing this, Xiude's face instantly turned pale, he gritted his teeth, and asked stubbornly: "Then what you have to do, can you solve this problem!"
Andre suddenly became calm, and he said lightly: "I don't know if I can change it, and I don't know if the star mark doesn't know, but we know that this is an opportunity, if this step can be taken successfully, then in the near future, the second step can definitely be taken." β
"The Continent of Galt does not belong to humans alone, nor to Warcraft, nor to any party. But whether it's a monster or a human or something else, as long as it exists, it will have its value. Think about what it would be like if there were only humans left in this world. Do you remember the origin of the words Lunemead?"
Andrei's words did not have impassioned feelings, nor did they have a tone of frustration of yin and yang, just the most bland narrative, but they pierced into Xiude's heart word by word!
Xiude looked at Andre with complicated eyes, he was not a stupid person, otherwise he would not have been able to join the army for thirty-five years and be promoted to the position of deputy commander. Xiude thought of the wanted warrant that had just been torn apart by himself, and thought of the violent death of the then emperor Miller more than ten years ago, even if Xiude didn't want to admit it, he knew that Andre was right.
What Andre and Starmark had to do, Xiude knew would be an extremely difficult path, but it allowed Xiude to find a glimmer of light in the endless darkness in front of him.
Finally, the emotion pressed Xiude's reason, only to hear him sigh heavily, and said: "Okay, then try as you say, but we have to supervise the whole process, if there is anything unusual, I will directly order the attack! and will attack you together!"
Andrei finally smiled.
"Yes. β
Two simple words, but revealing incomparable self-confidence, Andre is not confident in himself, nor in the queen ant, but in the star mark, as for the reason is very simple, because it is his brother!
Seeing Andre turn back, Xiude couldn't calm down for a long time, and after a long time, he sighed secretly: "I'm really old, and the future world still depends on these young people." β
......
Since that day, on the site of the old city of Monrok that originally collapsed due to the Sky Swallowing Worm, a new Monrok City has been under construction at a rapid pace, and it is even so fast that it can no longer be described as a day of appearance, almost every blink of an eye will be different. If someone reports this news to the state, I am afraid that the unwitting dignitaries of the state will be dumbfounded. Because the Kingdom of Rune has not yet sent rebuilding personnel to Monrok City!
At this time, in the new city of Monroke, people are busy rebuilding the new city. And among these busy figures, there are more ant tribes with bodies the size of hunting dogs. Antbeasts also possess the characteristics of ants, and because they are monsters, their strength exceeds 20 times their weight, and it is they who carry various building materials on their backs and shuttle among people and humans.
And this is the agreement between Starmark and the Queen Ant!
In the agreement, the antbeasts will help the people of Monrok rebuild their homes and protect the people of Monrok. In turn, humans will live with them equally, provide them with sufficient food, and create living conditions so that they can leave the barren desert center and no longer worry about food and shelter.
This is a seemingly crazy idea, and even the city lords of Monrok City are also full of worries about this matter. After all, Monrok has been destroyed by the ant-beast clan, and although there are no casualties, many humans are still full of fear of these ant-beasts and resist their existence from the heart.
However, on the second day of Monrok's reconstruction, when these antbeasts showed their effects, the resistance of the people who saw their homes being rebuilt at a rapid pace began to weaken, and they began to discover the benefits of these ant tribes.
Although the antbeast is not small, it eats very little, and is simple-minded, saying and doing things, and working very hard, and will not be lazy at all. They work well with each other, and humans only need to give them some simple instructions and tell them what to do, and the antbeasts can get the job done like an assembly line.
As for children, their ability to get in touch with new things is already easier than that of adults, but in just a few days, some children have become friendly with the antbeasts, playing with them, and even many children have ridden the antbeasts around.
Most of the people living in Monrok were just ordinary residents, and they didn't have much grudge against the monsters, and if it weren't for the Sky Swallowing Worm destroying Monrok this time, they would even be more receptive to these hard-working ants.
Starmark and Andre stood side by side, not far from them, Xiude clasped his hands in front of his chest, looked at the ever-changing Monroke, and couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that your choice is right, they can indeed be a good helper." β
Hearing this, Starmark glanced at Xiude, then looked at the scenery in Mengluok City, and said slowly: "There is no grudge between humans and demonic beasts, each other is just for survival, if they can coexist, who wants to start that war written by blood and tears?"
"Well..."Xiude didn't speak again after answering, but his heart had already begun to look forward to what it would be like if there was no war in this world.
"By the way, what about Anlun, haven't seen him in days?" Starmark asked, turning to Andre.
Andre smiled: "The busiest thing these days may be that guy, humans and ants coexist, this plan is very promising, so I think about how to promote this concept, now it should be recording images everywhere, as a rhetoric when promoting." β
Starmark nodded: "Then let him be busy, if it can really be accepted by humans, it will be a good thing, so I won't bother him." β
Hearing Starmark's words, Andre was slightly stunned and said, "Are you leaving?"
"Well..."Starmark glanced into the distance: "It's been delayed for several days, and I don't know what I'll encounter later, whether it will be delayed for a long time, so I'm going to leave now." β
"Where are you going this time? Andrei said when he heard this.
Starmark raised his chin and motioned for AndrΓ© to look northwest of Monrok.
"Kemo Island?"
There was a clear hint of confusion in Andrei's voice, and his brow furrowed. As a soldier and a legion commander, how could he not know what kind of place Kemo Island is!
Although it is called an island, it is actually connected to the mainland. It's just that it is surrounded by a large number of wetlands on all sides, and there are a large number of aquatic demonic beasts entrenched in those wetlands, which surround the entire Kemo Island, making it difficult for ordinary people to set foot on it, so it was named.
Once the Kingdom of Rune sent troops to conquer the island of Kemo, but for some reason, none of that force came back alive, and there are rumors that there are incredible creatures on the island. From that moment on, the island became a forbidden place for humans.
Xingji nodded and smiled: "Well, this time I plan to go to the Wenbala tribe in the north of Kemo Island to take the heart of the Heaven and Earth Tree, and the gold coins will be placed in Karna first." β
"I'll go with you. Andrei hurriedly spoke.
Xingji shook his head: "I'll do it myself, this time such a big thing happened to Monroc, you must also go back to the military department to have an explanation, besides, the reconstruction of Monrok still needs you to keep an eye on, whether humans can coexist with Warcraft, this first step is very important, you and An Lun are still busy, but I deserted." β
Looking at the star mark, Andre did not ask to go with the star mark again, he knows his brother's character very well, if the star mark is unwilling to follow himself, then even if he follows hard, he will be thrown off by the other party, not to mention that as the star mark said, so many things, he also needs to go to the upper level to have an explanation.
"Then be careful yourself, and if you need help with something, call me. Rebuilt here, An Lun is the protagonist, and I'm just doing my best to protect him. I hope that as you wish, humans can truly coexist with Warcraft. β
Starmark looked at Monrok and said with emotion, "Well, I hope so." β
After looking at it for a long time, suddenly, Starmark took off and galloped away into the distance. If it weren't for Andre, I'm afraid that the matter of Monrok would be dealt with at the end, he has always been a selfish person, whether it is the country or the people, he is not against the people he cares about, and the person he cares about the most at the moment is the gold coin
Andre looked at the back of the starmark in the distance, and then looked at the rebuilt Monroke, shook his head lightly with a smile, and whispered to himself: "Stinky boy, it seems that I still can't compare to you." β
