Even if it was to help others, this act of openly destroying the statue of Rose's ancestors was seen as a stain on the glory of the Rose Empire.
After the incident, the Rose Empire demanded that the Wansheng Kingdom hand over the fox orc swordsman and punished him in their own way.
Wan Shengguo believed that the fox-beast swordsman destroyed the statue in order to protect the children playing under it, and that he had no choice but to do so. It was unethical to punish someone who should be called a hero for the sake of a statue.
The Rose Empire argued that the fox-beast swordsman could have directly taken the child playing under the statue away without damaging the statue at all. The reason why she openly destroyed the statue of Rose's ancestor was just to take the opportunity to vent her dissatisfaction with the empire. Such people must be severely punished to deter others who want to tarnish the glory of the empire.
Wansheng Kingdom must hand over the fox orc, otherwise it will be an enemy of the empire.
Wansheng Kingdom believes that the Rose Empire is simply making a fuss out of nothing and acting unreasonably. They firmly defend the decision they made before. What the fox beastman swordsman did was right and they should not be punished.
So, the war began.
The reasons for starting a war may seem absurd at first glance, but thinking so simply means you fail to see the deeper reasons.
For example, when King Louis of France shaved his beard, his wife said he looked as ugly as a toilet bowl without it, so she wanted to run away with the King of England and take away the two provinces she came with as a dowry. As a result, a war broke out between England and France.
No one really thinks that a king's wife would be mad at him just because he shaved his beard, right
Who knows if his head turned into green grassland when he was on the Crusades.
Yang Yu had already smelled the scent of conspiracy.
When a war starts, all that is needed is often an excuse, as long as the excuse can stir up conflict between the two sides.
Yang Yu played a war simulation game in which one person controlled a tribe and could cultivate land, develop technology, and conquer to expand territory.
Whenever Yang Yu was online with others, they would always use "My cow is missing, maybe it ran to your ranch" as an excuse to start a war and launch an attack on his camp.
Yang Yu was not in a hurry. While upgrading technology, he used the militia skillfully to knock back the other party's troops. By the way, he also sent a wave of machine gunners to push back.
It turned out that the cow was lost and his family didn’t even have a pasture. I think the cow was loaded with a rocket and flew into the sky, right
In the Library of All Things, Yang Yu also checked the progress of the war between the Rose Empire and the Wansheng Kingdom, and the content of the war was the same as what he heard from Qingshi.
Yang Yu could even accurately call out the name of the fox orc swordsman and the name of the rescued child.
By analyzing the war details seen in the library, we can see the deeper reasons for the war between the two countries.
As soon as the declaration of war was issued, the Rose Empire sent troops with lightning speed and occupied a fertile plain called Cerrovomen.
Cerro Vomen is not far from the border between the two countries. It is not big, accounting for only 5% of Wansheng’s land area, but it produces more than 20% of Wansheng’s grain.
Such an important plain is located near the border. Logically, the Wansheng Kingdom should send heavy troops to guard it, and it would be impossible for the Rose Empire to succeed easily.
However, it took the Rose Empire less than twenty-four hours from issuing the war declaration to capturing the Cerrovo Gate.
This shows that this was a premeditated war.
Asking the Wansheng Kingdom to hand over the fox orcs for the glory of the empire is purely an excuse to start a war.
Listening to Qingshi's story quietly, Yang Yu did not get much substantive information. He looked at the endless desert, flipped the task panel, and looked at the task on the panel - [Medal of Peace]
Mission requirements: End the war between the Luoze Empire and the Wansheng Empire and reconcile the two countries.
Mission rewards: experience???, gold coins 100,000~1000,000, number of draws 0~99 (depending on your contribution to peace), 30% discount coupon for Chirom cake shop chain.
Depending on your performance in the war, you can get a corresponding title.
In order to accomplish this task, it is necessary to intervene in the war between the two countries and lead them to peace.
However, it is quite difficult to intervene in the war between the two countries and have enough say to act as a decision maker.
If we start with the Rose Empire, there is little hope.
The pro-war faction in the Rose Empire has an absolute advantage, and the pro-peace faction like Chirom is a real minority.
In the war between the two countries, the Rose Empire had the main advantage. Going to that country to advocate peace now would undoubtedly be like snatching food from the mouths of the vested interests.
From the way Chirom concealed his identity as a peace advocate, it is not difficult to imagine how difficult it would be for a peace advocate like Chirom to survive under the political pressure of the Rose Empire.
It is not impossible to start from within the Rose Empire, but there will definitely be more literary dramas there, which will not do much for improving strength, so Yang Yu naturally has no interest in it.
On the contrary, it would be much simpler if we started from Wansheng Country.
As it stands now, it is impossible for the Wansheng Empire to simply surrender to the Rose Empire.
The war lasted for eight years, which showed their determination to regain lost territory.
They would stand at the negotiation table either because they were completely defeated, or because the Rose Empire had a change of heart and decided to call off the war and return all the lost lands to Wansheng Kingdom.
However, it is still a dream to have a change of heart. It is better to just think about it. Otherwise, the other party will waste manpower and money to start a war just for a piece of shit
When the situation completely collapsed, Wansheng Kingdom urgently needed a hero to reverse the situation and regain the lost territory.
It looks like a great opportunity to level up.
Moreover, if we can help Wansheng Kingdom gain the right to speak in peace negotiations, then by then, won’t the racial essence be easily obtained
Therefore, Yang Yu stood firmly on Wan Shengguo's side.
However, the army leading the battle now consists of only a few common types of orcs, and many races with special abilities do not participate in the battle at all.
If the situation is really critical, there is no guarantee that the nominal king of this country will mobilize all available means to mobilize other races.
Perhaps during this year, the nominal king has already begun mobilizing other races.
I have to hurry up and find one or two racial essences to increase the level cap. Then I have to find a way to intervene in the war immediately. I can't let others get there first.
Looking at the vast desert, the scorching heat in the desert had not yet faded. Yang Yu yawned as he listened to Qingshi continue to talk about the war between the two countries.
Suddenly, Qingshi's voice stopped abruptly.
He stood up suddenly, looked at the endless desert, and muttered to himself in disbelief:
"This, this is impossible. How could it appear here?"
"What's wrong?"
Yang Yu looked at Qingshi in confusion, only to see Qingshi picking up a wooden stick to move the gravel, trying to draw everyone's attention as much as possible.
"We'll tell you the reason later! If we don't want to die, we have to get out of here!"
