Hunter starting from Hunter World

With the all-out war between the northern land and the organization headed by several abyssal ones, the peace that had lasted for ten years was completely broken.

From the high altitude areas of the island that are covered with snow all year round to the relatively warm central and eastern parts of the island, there are battlefields where awakened people and great swords fight each other everywhere.

Even ordinary people can often see extremely tragic blood and corpses on the road or in the villages and towns where they live.

Both sides are like crazy, constantly throwing their cannon fodder into this tentative contest.

Especially the organization that suffered heavy losses, they did not hesitate to pull out the rookies in the training camp to fill the vacancies, leaving them to fend for themselves in this cruel war.

At present, the land from the north to the east has become a large-scale chicken-eating scene.

The Awakened are hunting the Great Sword, and the Great Sword is also hunting the Awakened.

A game of hunter and prey is played over and over again, with only the strongest, most ferocious, and cunning ones surviving.

As for those unlucky ones who are not strong enough, they usually don't survive more than three days.

However, as time went by, the awakened ones belonging to several abyss gradually gained the upper hand.

Because many great swords with experience in conquering the Awakened began to be unable to withstand frequent and high-intensity battles. As a result, they were either seriously injured and needed time to recuperate, or were killed directly. The newcomers who were later added were basically no different from disposable consumables.

On the contrary, Awakening's side has become stronger and stronger with its strong recovery ability, and its combat experience has become more and more abundant.

In desperation, the organization had to show its trump card in advance and send the first and second-ranked dark twins to the battlefield. Only then could they barely maintain the front line that was about to collapse.

But as the Dark Twins were dispatched, the first Abyssal - Luciela of the South - quickly appeared, sweeping across the organization's last stronghold in the north with a thunderous force.

Judging from the cards that both sides have shown so far, the Abyss in the Northern Land undoubtedly have the absolute advantage and initiative.

After all, no matter how powerful the Dark Twins are, they can only barely deal with an abyss at best.

If the two abyss launch a siege at the same time, the Dark Twins will definitely lose.

However, what really scares the top management of the organization is not the three abyssal ones on the surface, but the super abyssal Pricia hidden behind them.

No one dares to take this No. 2 awakening of the Dinisha era lightly.

Just when the organization was forced into a state of panic, Allen, who was staying in a military camp near the Holy Capital, finally made a decision that stunned the people around him, which was to initiate negotiations with the Holy Light Church in the South.

Before anyone else could realize what had happened, a merger agreement was signed.

From now on, the land of the west and the land of the south will become one.

Among them, the political and military aspects copied the systems of the Western lands, while the religious, legal and people's livelihood aspects incorporated some of the characteristics of the South.

After the merger, the Holy Light Church will become the only legal church in this new political system and will be responsible for supervising the prevention of corruption and abuse of power.

There is no doubt that this is a win-win agreement.

Because for the people of the Confederacy, the original purpose of this war was for faith, to promote doctrine, so that all people living on this land could be shrouded in the "holy light" and become "us" one of them.

Integrating into the administrative system of the Western Land is not only not a bad thing, but a good thing for them who are still dealing with their own affairs.

Unification means that the flow of goods will accelerate, and necessities that were once expensive and scarce will become cheaper and cheaper.

Although the interests of a small group of people will be temporarily damaged, a larger consumer market will be formed after the merger.

As long as you operate it properly, you can make double the money back.

As for the merchants and bureaucrats in the western land, they have long been coveted by the warm and humid climate in the southern land, as well as the large tracts of land suitable for farming, as well as the huge population that has been recuperating for ten years.

Once merged, they will definitely be able to take the biggest piece of the cake with their advanced technology.

In this way, without anyone's objection, Allen and Artoria signed their names on behalf of their respective forces.

Looking at the soldiers who burst into cheers in the audience, Artoria couldn't help but sigh slightly: "Oh - it's finally over. How do you plan to deal with the chaotic situation in the north? Kill it directly?"

"No, there is no rush. Let the organization play with those abyss slowly first. We will use this time to integrate internal resources and prepare for the cross-sea expedition." Allen responded casually.

He obviously knew everything about what was happening in the north.

But compared to true "revenge", uprooting the organization is just an appetizer.

"A cross-sea expedition?" Arturia frowned subconsciously. "Don't you want to..."

"Ah! You guessed it right. I want to bring fear, despair and death to the country behind the organization. After all, what they have done on this island has exceeded the bottom line of human beings. If they don't pay the corresponding price, how can they I am worthy of those ordinary people who died innocently, and worthy of those swords who were deceived. I have always been a very reasonable person, and both individuals and countries must be responsible for what they have done."

When saying these words, Allen's eyes flashed with a chilling light.

You don't need to ask to know that he is ready to completely erase the other country from this world without leaving a trace.

"A lot of people will die!" Arturia reminded unbearably.

But Allen retorted with a smile: "But they are not innocent! In the modern discourse system of the earth, civilians are usually not regarded as the subjects of war. Use your mind to think about it. If a country starts from More than 80% of the people from top to bottom support the war and are willing to contribute to the government that launched the war. So is it natural for them to be killed by the enemy and liquidated after the war? According to the investigation of the Guardians, the people on the mainland The two countries are in this state now. The war that has lasted for more than a hundred years has made them have a deep hatred for each other that cannot be resolved. Unless one side is eliminated, the war will never stop."

Are civilians simply victims of war?

Do not make jokes!

This sentence depends on the situation.

For example, in countries invaded, destroyed, and occupied by the Axis powers during World War II, civilians were naturally the victims.

Because they are not the active initiators of war, and they have never supported a government eager to start a war.

But if it were the civilians who invaded Germany or Japan, they all deserved it and they were not worthy of sympathy at all.

Because Hitler and his Communist Party were elected by the German people themselves. Since they voted for themselves, they must be mentally prepared to be responsible for this.

As for almost all the Japanese who served in the war of aggression and died in the bombing and atomic bombing of Tokyo, none of them can be called innocent.

Allen felt that something like launching a full-scale war could not be instigated by just one or two people or a small group of people.

Without the support of the majority of civilians, the war would quickly end with the defeat of one of the parties.

"So you plan to achieve a ceasefire by killing one of them?" Arturia seemed to understand something.

Allen nodded slightly: "That's right! Both countries on the continent have been dragged down by the war to the point where they can no longer hold on. The reason why they refuse to cease the war is entirely because of the irresolvable hatred between each other. At this time , if one of the countries is completely eliminated or replaced, then the other country will naturally choose to shake hands with the new force and make peace. At least within one or two generations, it will no longer consider launching a war. After all, only those who have personally experienced the cruelty of war will Only then will we cherish the time of peace.”

"What happens after that? When the older generation gradually dies and the new generation forgets the horror of war, a new war will eventually break out, right?" Artoria said with a touch of helplessness and disappointment in her tone.

"No way! As a short-lived race with a lifespan of only a few decades, human beings usually have a very short historical memory. People in the future should worry about future things. We just need to do the things in front of us. Don't Trying to stand from God's perspective and consider solving the problem once and for all, or creating a peaceful environment without war. Believe me, that will only make the situation worse." Allen warned in a serious tone.

What is the nature of war?

Excluding the definitions given in textbooks, the most basic ones are nothing more than two points.

One is to compete for resources, and the other is to ensure one's own safety from threats from external enemies.

This also means that unless a certain god can create unlimited resources, as long as the population expands to a certain level, the outbreak of war is almost certain.

And what if we create a world with unlimited resources?

Due to the greedy nature of human beings, monopoly and unfair distribution will inevitably occur, which will eventually lead to the intensification of social conflicts and then evolve into riots, rebellions and wars.

The relationship between war and humans is like the relationship between humans and bacteria in their bodies.

Sometimes, these bacteria are beneficial and help humans digest food, synthesize vitamins, and promote nutrient absorption.

But there are also times when these bacteria are more deadly than any other scourge.

Therefore, a healthy human society does not want to eliminate war, but to control it within a relatively safe range so that it does not completely get out of control and eventually lead to the end of the world.

"Don't worry, I never considered myself an omnipotent god and knew what to do."

After saying that, Artoria stood up and led the Confederate people back to the camp.

Although the agreement has been signed, both parties need some time to inform the news before they can start specific merger matters.

Since it involves benefit distribution, this will be a relatively long process.

Even if the top leaders of both sides push for it, it will take at least a month or two or even longer.

…

Just as the long confrontation between the West and the South ended, Claire, who had followed Inili in seclusion for a long time, finally reappeared within the organization's sight.

She has returned from learning the high-speed sword. She looks very calm and calm at the moment. She is walking along the streets of a small town.

Due to the complete isolation from the outside world during this period, Claire did not know that the organization had been fighting fiercely with the awakeners sent by the Northern Abyss, and was still trying to get in touch with her agents.

As for betraying the organization, it was not an option for her from the beginning.

the reason is simple!

She wants to take revenge on Pricia and needs the help of the organization.

"Strange? Why are there so many warriors in this town? Are they attacking the Awakened?" Claire narrowed her eyes and stared at the small group of swords in the distance, with a puzzled look on her face.

You must know that this team is not three or five, but a full fifteen people.

Before this, the organization had never had more than ten warriors gather together.

While she was puzzled, a huge black shadow suddenly fell from the sky and landed directly in the center of the town.

The frightened people immediately started screaming and running away without saying a word.

The soldier in charge of leading the team didn't waste any time. He drew his weapon and rushed forward, cooperating with several other teammates to launch an attack.

As for the black figure, I knew without asking that he was the Awakened One.

In other words, he is a rare male awakened person with six arms and four legs, lying on the ground like a giant crab.

Suddenly, the battle area was reduced to ruins in just a few seconds.

Since neither side had any intention of holding back, they used their killing moves from the beginning.

One female swordsman even did not hesitate to use her body as a shield, just to cover for another companion and gain a chance for a close attack.

As for her, she was penetrated by huge spikes on the spot, and she was nailed to the ground while spurting blood.

No hesitation!

No more hesitation!

The only thing you have is the courage to face death!

This situation does not happen to one person, but to almost all weak swords.

The long-term fighting has made these warriors understand that it is simply impossible to defeat the Awakened without paying any price.

Rather than being timid and dying in the end, it is better to pay the price from the beginning and quickly kill the awakened ones in an unexpected way.

As for those who volunteer to serve as cannon fodder, they are usually defensive recruits fresh out of training camp.

Since it is completely impossible for newcomers to break the life energy surrounding the bodies of the awakened ones, they are the ones who carry out the most dangerous thing with the highest casualty rate.

Under Claire's horrified gaze, only two or three minutes into the battle, three people died on the spot with their intestines pierced by the sword.

As for the remaining people, one-third were injured.

She finally understood why the organization gathered so many great swords together.

Because if so many people don't gather, defeating an awakened person with the strength of these people is simply a daydream.
