In this room, there are only two things that many people are focusing on:
A series of mysteries surrounding the witcher, and what happens next for the alien race.
Now that Hao Ren has answered the first question clearly, it is natural to discuss the direction of the second question.
When the various families didn't know what happened inside the demon hunter, they didn't know what to do next. Because they were not sure whether the natural enemy had really disappeared, they were divided into several factions, including the radical faction on the square, the deliberative faction Conservatives in the hall, investigators who scout situations outside the asylum, tea drinkers who sip their tea in the corner of the room, and scumbags like Hesperis, and now the mists of the witcher are finally If it is uncovered, many disputes among these factions will lose their foothold, and everyone can finally consider the future with a clearer mind.
"The demon hunters have not disappeared, they are still there," Gene Lucas first pointed out the most critical factor, "Although the hunting is over, they are still there—this is the biggest problem. Your Excellency the Countess, Now it's the demon hunter's... well, leader, what do you think the demon hunter will do next?"
When Gene Lucas said the last sentence, the expression on his face was so distorted that he almost lost his appearance. This old vampire who has always advocated aristocratic restraint and elegant words and deeds can hardly maintain his image at this moment. He has never met in his life. I have been to such a painful thing: I know every word I utter, but the combination sounds like a neurosis...
"Honorary leader, honorary leader," Vivienne waved her hands, "and I am not even in a higher position than the husky next to me in terms of law. And you also know that it is impossible for the witcher to really hand over the power to the two of us, so Our binding force on them is still roughly equal to zero. But I can make clear the attitude of the witchers: they will not continue to carry out hunting, but will continue to maintain the 'balance' in this world, which is the status quo. They stop hunting Killing is because there is no reason to continue to fight against aliens, but if you take the initiative to declare war—even against humans, they will find this reason.”
"So we're still locked in these shelters?" The old werewolf Hogwarf slammed the table heavily. "Maintain balance? Does the so-called balance keep us hiding in the gutter forever? Times have changed, Your Excellency Vivienne Ansesta. We must also change. We need honor..."
Before the old werewolf finished speaking, Yizaks folded his arms and chuckled: "Honor is farting, what you want is profit."
Who is Y'zaks? In his life, he has... seen more people than everyone on the scene knew, traffickers, pawns, kings and beggars, he has seen all kinds of life. Although he himself was defeated in the end because of "people's hearts". But he can still grasp people's hearts very thoroughly. The old devil knew very well that soldiers could fight for honor, common men could die for honor, and even loyal ministers and generals could die generously for honor, but only qualified leaders didn't talk about this.
Because behind the leader is the life and death of countless people, and his "honor" is to seek benefits for his own people, and they only need to talk about this.
Y'zaks also made a lot of appearances in the sanctuary. This powerful demon king still has a lot of weight in his words. His simple and straightforward way of expression made the family leaders and power representatives present look sideways. Heather Anna couldn't help muttering: "Big man, why are you so honest..."
"Well, I quite like this way of speaking," Hogwarf was quite happy after being robbed by Y'zaks. The old werewolf twitched the corners of his mouth, showing a smile that was as lethal as Y'zaks'. "Anyway, everyone here is a sensible person. Vivienne is also a respected elder. Don't play tricks in front of her. That's right, interests-only this can maintain the balance. To be honest, I don't agree with attacking the human world, because I know that human beings are not easy to deal with now, and the demon hunters have not disappeared, so it is too unwise to go out and fight. But I don't agree to continue to be bored in the shelter. There is no future in guarding these barren different spaces There is a vast and rich world outside us, and this world should have our place."
"The current main body of civilization on this planet is human civilization." Hao Ren knocked on the table, "And you... are not even considered civilization now. You are almost dependent on human society to survive, so you should know it yourself, counterattack Earth is not realistic."
"I don't like the way you talk," Gene Lucas shrugged, "but you have a point."
"You think too much about human beings," a night demon lord who had never spoken at the scene suddenly said, her eyes seemed to be flickering like a thunderstorm, "I understand human society, their war machines and races The overall lethality is unquestionable, but they themselves are very fragile, and the destructive power they master far exceeds their own capabilities, which means that they are actually very easy to be defeated."
As she said that, the night demon lady turned her face and stared into Hao Ren's eyes without flinching: "There are not a few people who think like me. We all know that human beings are difficult to deal with, but we also know that we can't deal with them. As long as this "hope" is still there, there will always be restless people who want to try their luck. And more importantly... a few years ago, human beings were nothing more than our slaves, so if there is a slight chance to take these slaves Back in the cage, a lot of people will take their chances."
Compared with those young people who shouted and raised their voices in the square, what this night demon lady represented was the truly dangerous heterogeneous group.
They are not impulsive action groups, but they have a certain grasp of the situation on this planet. They are a group of people who are still restless even knowing the strength of human beings and the remaining power of the current demon hunters. This group of people who take actions after careful consideration is more troublesome.
But Hao Ren didn't care, he just spread his hands: "That's right, after my calculations, if the time and place are just right, and the alien race can really seize every opportunity at hand, you really have a 'chance' Victory over humanity."
As soon as these words came out, there was a strange commotion in the conference room. Even Hessiana looked at Hao Ren curiously, not knowing what he meant.
"You are the ultimate victors." Hao Ren ignored the commotion. He just tapped on the data terminal and presented a set of holographic projections, which showed the earth after scorched earth. "You will undoubtedly Take ownership of this planet - but your population will be only 2,000-3,000 people left, because only the top supernatural creatures can survive this kind of war. Otherwise, all human beings will perish, and the biosphere That's right, so are the witchers. This is the best outcome I can imagine: you win and rule the planet, and the last two thousand of you who survive will become the masters of the earth, ruling over all the radiation craters, pollution Mud swamps, poisonous rivers, and hot deserts of radiation dust, you will continue to survive on this planet in a form similar to primitive people. The main food is the rot left over from the last century and the mud in the bomb crater, and your survival ability is the strongest. The few that survive will survive to the end—and remain so forever in the mud until the next restart of the planet's life cycle."
The holographic projection was over. Hao Ren knocked on the table to bring the people back to their senses. He propped the table with both hands, expressionless: "You don't think that you don't need to die in war, do you? You don't think that you can crush the big Win a total victory, right? Both parties in the war need to pay a price, and this price is much greater than the benefits you can get. Since you can't crush human beings, you must be prepared to lose both sides. Believe me, that kind of victory is definitely not as good as Your days in the shelter are comfortable.
"So, since your goal is to seek greater benefits, rather than fight to the death with mankind for that nonsense 'historical honor', why did you choose such a mindless war route?"
Perhaps the "victory ending" he described was too shocking, or perhaps the family leaders in the venue had already considered the cost of winning or losing before. In short, the scene fell into a temporary silence.
A mere set of virtual images plus Hao Ren's empty words would definitely not be able to convince these old fritters, but these people are not fools themselves, so they can naturally distinguish the most reliable part of Hao Ren's words.
"Then we can only take a middle way," Gene Lucas said, his eyes fell on Vivienne, he knew that the ancient man might have made arrangements, and he might even have made arrangements with the witcher. Some kind of agreement was reached over there, and all the debates and conclusions now are actually just paving the way for this "arrangement". "You can explain it clearly."
"Aliens do not have to continue to hide in the sanctuary in the future, but they cannot interfere with human civilization; there is a truce between the demon hunters and aliens, and subsequent negotiations will be discussed separately; a supervisory organization will be formed. Since the old balance and order can no longer be maintained, then we Just build a new one, use a new organization to control those groups who leave the shelter and enter human society... "
Vivienne directly stated the things that had been agreed with Hao Ren before. (to be continued~^~)
