Lin Yu did not like war.
If Lin Yu had to speak for himself, then, assuming it were possible, he hoped that no wars would ever break out anywhere in the world.
Like plague and famine, war was a disaster that took countless lives and caused grievous damage. Of the four horsemen symbolizing the end of the world as depicted in the Book of Revelation, one was War (The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse had two widely circulated versions, differing in whether the white horse symbolized "plague" or "conquest," but the remaining three were the same in both versions, and both included "war.").
But unlike plague and famine, war was caused entirely by the desires of intelligent life—although the side that started a war was not necessarily unjust, whenever war broke out, greed and ambition were certain to bear responsibility behind the scenes.
Yet although war was an entirely "man-made" disaster, it was still a "natural disaster"—like plague and famine, and like heavenly fire, floods, and cold waves, it possessed the quality of being "unstoppable."
It was not the greed and ambition of a single person, but the overall tendencies of intelligent life that caused war to keep appearing.
This was even more true in such a violent world as Black Marsh.
So...
When Lin Yu learned that he was bound to be drawn into a war in this [Instance], he had already set aside his mercy.
At this moment, within the mist in the mirror, he had used the fog's visual cover and the enhancement effect of the [Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals] to approach the squad that had been circling around.
By now, he could see the squad's blurred outlines through the fog.
With his visual and mental perception, he could grasp their positions more clearly.
