As someone who had suffered deeply at the hands of invaders in his early years and had once seen his country fall and family perish, White Butcher was fundamentally very opposed to acts of invasion and plunder.
But clearly, he was no bleeding heart.
He was a Great Zhou naval colonel, and he had brought the fleet out to expand Great Zhou's territory.
Moreover, his years of life in Great Zhou had led White Butcher to believe that unifying the world under one rule might not be a bad thing.
Once the world was unified, the wars raging across it would be reduced by at least ninety percent.
And Great Zhou's emperor was wise, while the people had plenty to eat and lived in peace and contentment.
For ordinary people, being able to live in such a country ought to be the greatest blessing imaginable.

If a kingdom with a sound system and people living in peace and contentment occupied this island, he would choose to establish diplomatic relations with it.

Even if they won such a war, it would not win the people's hearts. It would easily leave hidden internal dangers and invite trouble.
But what occupied this island now was merely a primitive tribe, probably numbering only a pitiful few dozen or hundred people. Every one of them was skin and bones from hunger, eating one meal without knowing where the next would come from.
