Chapter 897: Eruption
The statistics went more smoothly than expected, thanks to the mere orderliness in the camp, which was maintained not on strict rules and regulations, but purely on personal popularity, which made Conrad somewhat admire the young woman in front of him.
It is very difficult to maintain the human heart by relying on the charisma of the individual, because it is not binding, so it can only be established if the human heart voluntarily moves closer to her.
Looking at Lilia Marie's serious approach, Konrad, who had regarded the refugee problem as a problem, was suddenly in front of him, and perhaps the solution to this problem was in front of him.
"I have an idea that I hope you will listen to. ”
Konrad said.
"You also know that more and more refugees have recently come to this land, some of them have left their homeland because they could not stand the oppression of the Holy See, and some have had to find another way to survive because their homeland was destroyed by angelic soldiers, and they are not our enemies in any sense of the word, there is no doubt about it. ”
Lilia Marie didn't agree or deny, just silently waited for Conrad's next words. They had escaped from the domination of the Holy See, and she herself was the nun who had sworn to dedicate her life to the Holy See, no matter what high-sounding reasons, no matter how many wrong things the Holy See had done, what they did was betrayal, and it was not something that could be forgiven with an excuse.
Lilia Marie never regretted what she had done, just as she had decided to dedicate herself to the Doctrine, and when she decided to help those who wanted to live, she was ready to become a traitor, even if she would be crucified and burned for it one day.
There was no response as expected, and Conrad didn't care.
"That being said, we will still guard against and sideline you as a potential danger. You may think that we are inhuman, but sorry, this is our duty, we need to be responsible for our own people, and if we were to compare the two on the scale, we would not hesitate to lean in favor of our own people, even if there are poor people who have not committed any sins on the other side. ”
From the day he became a soldier, Conrad understood that his job was not to uphold justice and maintain justice, nor to be a glamorous hero. Behind him is the country and family that need to be protected, even if it is to become a butcher villain.
"I hate it, not just me, but my people don't want to solve things in this way, so we need a way to make everyone happy. ”
To put it simply, it is to give hope to the refugees by setting an example by accepting Lilia Marie and her camp as full residents, and by telling them that they still have hope of starting their lives again, so that the refugees can take the initiative to accept discipline.
As long as there is a glimmer of hope, then even the most innocent people will have concerns.
But there is a problem that the towns are not strong enough to accept all the refugees, which means that the so-called hope is just a mirage, just a bait to keep the refugees into submission.
Conrad even told Lilia Marie and Pan the truth about this, and said.
"You can call it fraud, and if you can trade a lie for a happy ending where no one will have to shed blood, then what if I am a liar. ”
Bleed...... It is not alarmist, since the beginning of the war, there has been a constant influx of refugees into this border town, and at first it was just a group of people who had lost everything and were just trying to survive without any hope and future, but as the group grew in size, some discordant voices began to emerge, and if this lack of management and reconciliation continued, it would only be a matter of time before it erupted.
"Of course, this is just a trivial suggestion from my own, and it's up to you to decide whether you accept it or not. ”
With that, Conrad left the choice in Lilia Marie's hands, while he himself picked up his teacup and watched the green wind outside, waiting for Lilia Marie to make a decision.
He wasn't worried that Lilia Marie would refuse, because it was a good proposal for everyone, and some of them would be deceived, but as he said before, it was better to be deceived than to die.
Conrad thinks that he is not a noble person, like most ordinary people, he is willing to show others kindness that does not exceed his ability, occasionally makes some small mistakes, and he will not be a good person or an evil person, he is such an ordinary person.
But perhaps because his daughter is growing up day by day, he begins to want to leave his daughter a less obnoxious world.
For an officer in a small border town, changing the world or something can seem like a ridiculous pipe dream, but Conrad is still willing to work for it, and no matter how far you go, you have to get started first.
Lilia Marie thought for a while, and had a general idea, but she didn't immediately agree, she knew that she wasn't the kind of person who was wise enough to lead others out of the darkness, and she needed to study this matter carefully with the others.
Conrad smiled and nodded, he was not worried that Lilia Marie was cautious, but that Lilia Marie was not cautious enough.
"I see, you can come to town for me when you've decided. ”
After saying that, Conrad stood up, bowed slightly and prepared to leave, he still has a lot of work, and there is more than one camp to go to.
At that moment, a shrill scream pierced the harmonious atmosphere.
The screams were followed by more exclamations, and the camp immediately became chaotic.
Conrad's first instinct was to think of the Monster Assault Camp, although it was not far from the town, but even outside the town, you could occasionally see the Monster that was not afraid of people wandering, after all, it was the border, and this situation was quite normal.
Military ...... in the house Inside, including Conrad, he acted very quickly, and immediately drew the long sword he was wearing with him and rushed outside the house.
Seeing the scene outside the house, Conrad's eyes couldn't help but widen, it was a scene he definitely didn't want to see, compared to the monsters, they were all cute.
In the open space in the middle of the house, a middle-aged woman stood there with her hands hanging down, with scattered clothes and wooden basins at her feet, and at her feet fell to her feet as well as Conrad's subordinates, who came with the guards, they fell to the ground, looked at the middle-aged woman in horror, and tried to escape from her with their hands and feet, but they couldn't stop shaking their hands and feet but didn't obey the call, and could only let them roll on the ground in embarrassment.
Conrad's pupils reflected not the embarrassed appearance of his subordinates, but a golden glow, which came from a pair of wings made of light extending from the middle-aged woman's back.
