Chapter 243
The villagers' emotions cannot simply vanish without any basis.
We need to give them an outlet, otherwise they'll take it out on themselves.
Kallen then naturally steered the conversation toward the Guardian Deputy, the Yae Shrine, and these shamans.
Who told them to eat so ungracefully?
Kallen watched the crowd recede into the distance.
"These people..." Yae Sakura said softly, looking at the crowd.
"Most of these people never came back," Kallen shook her head.
This was a riot, disorganized, undisciplined, without a program, and without a goal. At this point, the villagers were just ordinary mobs, and the morale of the mob was only at its peak. They were easily defeated, easily became cowardly, and easily scattered and fled for their lives.
But samurai are different; they are professional military groups.
There was no program, but there was organization, discipline, and goals.
Even with fewer people, they can still launch a brilliant defensive counterattack from the Tenshu-kaku. It's safe to say that it won't be long before the castle tower becomes a hunting ground for samurai.
The result is self-evident.
Yae Sakura didn't want to go up.
Kallen, of course, didn't want to go up either.
Because that's not her main purpose.
In any case, the history of Yae Village can never be the same as it was in the past.
That...
Surely one of them should show up by now?
Chapter 267 Come On, Fox
History has ultimately changed.
Many people don't know how to face all of this.
Yae Sakura is one of them.
She had considered countless ways to change the situation, but she never expected that history would change because of it. This was truly beyond her expectations.
So...
So, does this mean she won her bet?
Right?
I think so?
Did she win the bet?
The fox didn't come out for a long time, and the villagers didn't turn back to block them again.
"We..." Yae Sakura looked at Yae Village and the Tenshu-kaku in the distance, where fires were gradually spreading. It seemed that a man-made disaster had already befallen them.
"Aren't we going to do anything?" Yae Sakura asked. "Just here?"
"Are we just going to stand here and watch?"
"We don't need to do anything." Kallen sat cross-legged, looking rather unladylike and lacking in manners, and said, "There's nothing worth doing."
"Just watch from here."
"Is this..." Theresa looked at Yae Village, who was gradually engulfed in flames, and still couldn't help but ask, "Is this guy really alright?"
"What's wrong with it?" Kallen retorted. "It's fine to watch it now."
"Whatever happens next is none of our business."
"Unless the Honkai Beast arrive."
"Okay." Mei still felt she couldn't just remain indifferent. She tried to persuade her, "But is this really okay? What if we do nothing?"
"We are Valkyrie, fighting to protect this beautiful world."
"Yes," Kallen said, holding her head in her hands, "We are fighting to protect this beautiful world."
"Then you can go down and help."
However~
Mei was about to leave when she heard Kallen's sudden change of direction. She stopped and looked at Kallen, waiting for her next words.
"The two groups below," Kallen said casually, "Are either local rulers who treat the people like dirt and are insatiably greedy, or thugs who have lost their humanity and are ignorant and foolish."
Whom are you planning to help?
The people below are not rebels, nor are they innocent people deserving of sympathy.
On one side were the feudal class rulers, and on the other side were ignorant and thuggish thugs.
Neither side is clean-cut, nor does either side have any lofty ideals.
Of course, neither side is innocent.
"I'm here to protect this beautiful world," Kallen said. "I might be protecting some trash along the way, but oh well. Where there's sunlight, there's always shadow."
"A large forest has all kinds of birds."
"As for these people..."
"It has absolutely nothing to do with me~"
"Besides," Kallen said, "If we don't take action, only one person will get anxious."
"Hi-Fyūmaru!"
"Don't worry, she'll get restless soon."
Hi-Fyūmaru really couldn't sit still any longer.
She never expected things to develop this way. She thought it was a test of humanity, a difficult choice to make.
Result...
It turns out that guy didn't have any difficult choices at all!
She doesn't care about the lives of these civilians at all!
When someone with murderous intent arrives, they swiftly and mercilessly strike with their blade.
Moreover, she incited these people to storm the Tenshu-kaku!
This made her even more upset!
There's no better way now, unless one side bleeds dry before this matter is over! Hi-Fyūmaru thought she would get involved in this.
As a result, they simply went up the mountain to watch the show!
Now it's all right.
No matter what I do, I've already lost!
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it all!!!" Hi-Fyūmaru roared in hatred as she burst out of the black mist and rushed in front of Kallen.
"You bastard! What on earth is going on?!"
Hi-Fyūmaru angrily accused, "You have completely failed the people of the Kaslana family!"
"You're completely neglecting to protect the people!" Hi-Fyūmaru angrily accused Kallen. "What's wrong with you, Kallen! Can you just sit here and do nothing?"
"Are you completely indifferent to what's happening down below? Completely indifferent to the massacre taking place down there?"
"You're not the Kallen I know!"
The sudden appearance of Hi-Fyūmaru startled everyone.
This immediately made Theresa and Mei nervous.
Excluding Kallen.
Kallen even said with amusement, "Not... Hi-Fyūmaru?"
"Um, aren't you on the wrong side?" Kallen stood up from the ground and said, "I am the Valkyrie who protects this beautiful world, Kallen Kaslana, the shield of the people."
"And you are Herrscher whose mission is to destroy human civilization."
"You're criticizing me like this..."
"Not okay at all, is it?"
"..." Hi-Fyūmaru was speechless.
It seems Kallen was absolutely right. She is the true shield protecting the people, while I am the Herrscher destroying human civilization!
So shouldn't I be singing, dancing, playing drums, and watching the show as everything that happens next?
Forget about any scheming or trickery; the humans below are just killing each other!
I should celebrate!
There's so much less work to do!
No more 996 work schedule!
What the hell!
"Hmm." Hi-Fyūmaru scratched his chin with his fox paw and said, "I know, hmm, my position is very inappropriate, but isn't your position even more inappropriate?"
"Kallen! You're Kallen! You really can do something like this?"
"Why not?" Kallen retorted. "I just said that I protect the people."
"I will not protect thugs, much less these greedy feudal remnants."
"I've already shown great restraint by not personally taking down both of these groups."
What else do you need me for?
"And how am I not protecting the people?" Kallen retorted. "If I fight you now, that's protecting the people."
"How about it? Want to fight me?"
Shall we have a fight?
The fox retreated; this Kallen carrying an unseen blade was not to be trifled with!
After looking at the fox, Kallen pushed it away, saying in a mocking tone, "See? What did I tell you? This fox is actually quite human, isn't it?"
"She understands what kindness is, what ugliness is, what love is, and what hate is."
"Unlike other Herrscher ~"
Theresa and Mei nodded blankly.
It really does seem different.
A typical Herrscher wants to destroy humanity wouldn't jump out and accuse you of not protecting humanity, right? If this were another Herrscher, wouldn't they sit down and watch this man-made disaster unfold? And then offer some advice?
Neither Theresa nor Mei knew, but it seemed to be the case.
"What nonsense are you spouting?" the fox shouted. "You scoundrel, don't think that just because you're one size bigger than me you can criticize others!"
Do you think you understand me? Do you think you know me?
Do you think you understand me?
"You don't understand anything at all!"
"No!" Kallen stepped forward, putting away the Curry Stick in her hand. "I know you. I know you even better than you know yourself."
Kallen took a pair of glasses out of her coat pocket, put them on, and pushed them up as she did so.
The next second, another Mei appeared here.
Mei?
No!
The fox recognized her almost instantly.
