Ideals

"Selina, how is the situation now?" Yago led a group of key members of the Restoration Army through the streets of the Liberio Internment Zone.

Selina: "It's basically still under our control. The important infrastructure in the Marley Capital, and all areas, are controlled by our Restoration Army Soldiers. However, many Marleyan are very uneasy, and many are trying every means to escape from here. Should we stop them?"

Yago shook his head and said, "Ordinary Marley citizens don't need to stop it. We're not trying to emulate the disgusting policies of the Marley leadership. War is a disaster for any ordinary person, and we don't need to further deepen the hatred between ethnic groups."

After Yago finished speaking, Selina nodded in agreement, but one of the Restoration Army's core members behind them said indignantly, "But why? The Marleyan treated us Eldians so badly, making our compatriots live in misery. Can't we retaliate?"

Yago stopped and looked at the young Restoration Army backbone. Yago recognized him; his name was Albert, and he was an extremely brave and outstanding Soldiers. "You're right. For most of us, repaying evil with kindness is simply impossible. An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth is what we ordinary people think about."

But Albert, do you remember who we are? We are the Eldia Revival Army. Our ideal is not merely to avenge the Eldia People; our ideal is to restore the Eldia People to their former glory in the world, so that our descendants can live with pride. This cannot be achieved by committing atrocities against ordinary Marley. We must do much more, and the process will be far more difficult. Fellow members of the Restoration Army, are you willing to join me in realizing this ideal?"

Annie, standing beside Yago, stared blankly at Yago sincere face. Suddenly, she thought her Yago was so handsome, almost radiant. Without thinking, Annie moved closer to Yago.

Yago's words also greatly shocked the core members of the Restoration Army behind him. Indeed, compared to the Eldia National Restoration, retaliating against ordinary Marleyan seemed so shameful. Albert's face flushed slightly, but he was the first to respond to Yago's call, "Boss, I am willing to work with you to realize the great ideals of our Restoration Army!"

Once there was a first, there was a second, then a third, and soon all the core members of the Restoration Army firmly supported Yago.

Selina looked at the spirited core members of the Restoration Army and felt very gratified (⌒▽⌒). She was glad that she had brought the last of the Restorationists to recognize a new leader.

Yago offered a few more words of encouragement, then his tone shifted, becoming somewhat cold. "Of course, this doesn't mean we Eldians should unconditionally endure the harm done back then. Those Marleyan with their heinous crimes should also pay the price. The Marley Nobility wantonly trampled on the lives of Eldians, the greedy merchants who cruelly exploited Eldians, and the Marley Officer who rose to power over the corpses of Eldia Soldiers —they all have to pay the price! Do you all understand?"

The Restoration Army, who had been prepared to swallow their anger, suddenly brightened up. "Yes, boss!"

Then, Yago continued to discuss matters with everyone. There were too many things to consider when occupying a city, and too many things to deal with afterward. Perhaps everyone didn't understand why Yago was going to such lengths to occupy the capital of Marley, which seemed like a thankless task.

But this is the most important step in the Eldians revival. First of all, it is the promise that Yago made to the Restoration Army to liberate all Eldia compatriots. There are millions of compatriots in the Liberio Internment Zone. Yago promised and he will do it.

Then, the occupation of Marley Capital can also be seen as a way for the Eldians to demonstrate their power to the world. In any case, the Rumbling is just a story to the world. Unless it is activated, it cannot intimidate the world. But the Rumbling is not something that can be activated easily.

Taking over the Marley Capital swiftly under the noses of representatives from various countries is also a way to demonstrate power. After all, Marley is still the world's number one power on the surface, Eldians took over the capital of the world's number one power in just one night.

Other nations should be worried that the Eldians might also be able to take over their capital overnight.

Finally, capturing the Marley Capital was also to create a platform for the Eldians to better communicate with the world. After all, Paradis Island, which is far away by the Ocean, is not very convenient, and Yago does not want Paradis Island to be directly exposed to the world.

"Our men searched the capital but found no trace of Willy Tybur or Marley Warrior Unit Captain Magath."

Yago was somewhat surprised. Had these two run away? But how could they have escaped under those circumstances?

"By the way, Yago, what are you going to do with those Marley Warrior Candidate who had children, and Bagg?"

Yago: "Who? (ﾟ皿ﾟ) Bagg? Oh! Oh dear, I forgot, where are they now?"

Inside the simple room, Falco, Colt, Udo, Gabi, and Bagg, huddled in the corner, stared at each other. After a while, Bagg cautiously asked, "Little friends? Do you still want some bread?" He wasn't full.

Seeing this, Colt quickly stuffed the bread into the children's mouths. That stinky fatso was too wicked; he even coveted the food of growing children.

Hungry and exhausted, Bagg rolled to the door, desperately pounding on it and wailing, "I want to see Brother Loa! I've done my duty for Eldia! (ﾉಥ益ಥ) I need to eat!!"

"Shut up! Didn't we just bring you food? Are you an idiot?! (‵□′)" the Restoration Army Soldiers at the door shouted impatiently.

Bagg: "(╥ω╥`) I'm hungry."

Having arranged many matters, Yago finally had a chance to rest. After a brief farewell to Selina and the core members of the Restoration Army, Yago prepared to take Annie to relax.

But perhaps because Yago was too focused on his work and ignored Annie felt neglected and was now Annie. Although Annie had thought Yago was handsome when he was focused, Yago wasn't handsome at all when he ignored her.

Yago: "Annie? What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything? (·o·)"

Annie: "Hmph! (o`з'*)"

Yago: "I was wrong, I'm sorry, Annie, I apologize. Please go get some dessert and forgive me, okay?" (Yago: Although I don't know what I did wrong, it's always good to take the initiative to admit it.)

Annie at Yago, who had the same sincere expression as before, Ani's anger subsided. At least Yago was sensible; she'd forgive Yago after she'd eaten.

But just as Yago was about to take Annie to the dessert shop, a Restoration Army Soldiers suddenly came running up in a panic, panting, and said, "Boss Yago, something terrible has happened! You'd better go and see!"

Yago didn't know what had happened, but the Restoration Army Soldiers were anxious. Without saying a word, Yago immediately followed the Soldiers and left, leaving Annie standing there petrified.

Annie: "Ya! Go! (ʘ言ʘ╬)"
