Chapter 905 · Purification (Part 1)

The winter is coming to an end, and spring is coming.

Spring is the season of life, when everything comes back to life. The earth will be covered with green, red flowers, green grass, green mountains and green water. Even the animals have fully recovered their vitality after a long winter, and have begun to reproduce and start another cycle of life.

But today's spring is different.

It's very cold.

It's not just the air that's cold, but also the human heart.

The calendar of the main plane is similar to that of the earth. Here, the year is also divided into four seasons, and the day with the shortest daylight in the year - the winter solstice - is the new year. This calendar is simple and crude, and very convincing.

The winter solstice is the middle point of winter. One and a half months after the winter solstice is the beginning of spring. And in this last one and a half months, the first half of the month is almost the coldest time.

Generally speaking, if you want to fight a war, most people will choose winter. This is mainly because farmers have nothing to do in winter and are very idle.

For orcs, fighting in winter can consume a lot of people, save food, and optimize the population. It is a policy worthy of recognition and praise.

Sui Xiong floated on the rooftop terrace of the Void City Hall, staring at the eastern sky.

The war clouds had almost condensed into substance, an iron-gray color that made people feel uncomfortable just looking at them.

"I wonder how many people will die in this war!" He sighed deeply and shook his head.

"It's their own choice after all." Leon stood beside him and said calmly, "We will try to protect the refugees and stop the massacre, but we can't stop them from fighting. If people want to die, others can't do anything about it."

Sui Xiong nodded, but still couldn't help sighing.

He loved life and hated war. The act of betting the lives of thousands of people to fight for land, wealth, power, status and other external things was a blasphemy to life in his eyes.

But he couldn't stop this war because both sides wanted to fight.

As Leon said, this was a common choice of humans and orcs.

Even if only one side didn't want to fight this war, Sui Xiong would stand on the side that was forced to fight and use his fists to persuade the attacking side to give up the war. However, both sides wanted to fight, and both wanted to kill each other so that there would be rivers of blood and corpses everywhere. He had no other choice.

These days, he had been calling for peace and calling on people to withdraw from the war. Whether it was humans, orcs, or other races involved in this war, as long as they were willing to withdraw from the war, Sui Xiong was willing to protect them, let them escape from the war, and live in a republic that was like a paradise.

But everything he did was not very effective.

Indeed, many mortals who believed in him decided not to participate in this war. They were taken from all over the world to the Northwest Republic and settled down. But there were more people who were willing to participate in the war - for mortals, faith is important, but their own lives, their own families, their own likes and dislikes... these are equally important.

For example, the Eagle Kingdom, this country has been fighting with orcs for many years, and almost every family has elders who died on the northern battlefield. In order to completely defeat the orcs, almost no one among them was willing to withdraw from this war. Many of Sui Xiong's clergymen took off their robes with the holy emblem of jellyfish, put on armor, picked up weapons, and went to the battlefield after praying and confessing to Sui Xiong.

In the Secret Tower Federation, even in the Four City Alliance with Gray Tower City as the core, many scholars and mages walked out of the study, picked up the magic wands that they rarely used, took off their scholar robes, put on mage robes, and went to the military camp to gather.

These scholars know a lot of knowledge, so they are more full of responsibility for the entire human race. Even if they have to violate the orders of the gods, they have to participate in this war and fight for the future of mankind.

Not to mention places like Gars City, large numbers of young and strong people flocked to the north, to the Kingdom of Light, and threw themselves into the battlefield of blood and fire. Leon once wanted to use tough measures to stop all this, but was rejected by Sui Xiong.

"It's raining, my mother wants to marry, let them go." Sui Xiong said in a very open-minded tone, "As long as they don't regret it."

"These guys who are not pious at all!" Leon said unhappily.

"People live for themselves first, and then for others." Sui Xiong said with a smile, "No matter what choice they make this time, as long as they don't point their swords at their fellow believers, I will still welcome them back in the future."

"Your Majesty... you are too generous! It won't work to be so generous!"

"Why not?" Sui Xiong smiled, "The reason why I want to become as powerful as possible is not to let myself say 'Because I want to, there is nothing wrong'?"

Leon was speechless. In the end, he chose to move away those people in Gars City who were unwilling to participate in this war and temporarily move to the Northwest Republic to live.

Of course, the city cannot be moved away, but as long as the important things are taken away, the rest doesn't matter.

Where the Gars people are, it is Gars City. Without the Gars people, it is nothing more than an empty city.

All of this naturally relied on Sui Xiong's incredible and vast divine power. When the immigrants saw a city exactly the same as the city where Gars lived in the past in the icy and snowy Ash Forest, they were all stunned.

In fact, it was very simple for Sui Xiong. It was nothing more than scanning the appearance of the entire city, and then finding a place to shape the earth into the corresponding appearance.

Although the project was huge, it took only ten days.

The other territories belonging to the Northwest Republic did not choose to move, after all, they were very far away from the battlefield. Gelten Territory is adjacent to the Graystone Mountains in the central east of the Gold Coin Federation, Dal Territory is slightly east of the south of the Gold Coin Federation and close to the Great Swamp, Keen Territory is in the prosperous area of ​​the central and southern part of the Thunder Principality, and the Gray Tower Four Cities Alliance is close to the Ancient Forest in the central and northern part of the Secret Tower Federation.

Compared with Gars City, which is not far from the Glorious Kingdom and is an important commercial port in the entire continent, they are all considered safe areas far away from the battlefield, and of course there is no need to move.

Even so, there are large numbers of people who believe in Sui Xiong and are unwilling to participate in the war in various places, heading towards the Northwest Republic. The largest number of them, of course, comes from the Blue Moon Kingdom.

This population has brought huge pressure on housing in the Northwest Republic, and has also made the already developed land stretched.

People in this world are not used to living in "pigeon cage" apartments, and neither the Void City nor other cities in the Northwest Republic can accommodate so many residents.

They need to open up more land and settle more residents. Not only should they have a place to live, but also a place to work, rest, and entertain.

So, something that has been planned for a long time, with many people and a lot of preparations, is finally going to be implemented.

Purify the entire Ash Forest!
