Chapter 836: Chapter 836
The threat failed, the interrogation yielded nothing, and being counter-threatened made Garcia unhappy, so he directly ordered all the captured players to be executed.
A few minutes later, the subordinate responsible for the executions returned to report on the results, cursing non-stop.
"These natives are really stubborn; even at the brink of death, they keep shouting that they will return to send me on my way."
Garcia nodded slightly: "Interesting, I thought they were just stubborn, but now it seems they do have the blood of fearless warriors. If we could find an opportunity to subjugate this native civilization, it would be greatly beneficial for our development!"
Currently, the Rajas Exile Government manages a population of just over one million, a number that is minuscule in the vast universe.
Relying on such a small number of people to defeat the powerful Apostle Holy City and regain lost territory is akin to a fool's dream.
During their escape, the Rajas Civilization conducted several major discussions about this cruel reality.
Everyone wants to restore their nation, but how can it be achieved?
The suggestion from the Moderate Faction is—
Step one, first find other civilizations that were defeated by the Apostle Holy City, and unite to form an Anti-Apostle Holy City Alliance.
Step two, heavily develop mechanical technology and spiritual energy technology, as these technologies can effectively solve the population problem in a short time and, in the long run, help better contend with the Apostle Holy City.
Step three, once the Anti-Apostle Holy City Alliance has established a foothold in the universe, contact other civilizations that have not yet been attacked by the Apostle Holy City to form a larger coalition to confront the Apostle Holy City together.
Ruth, one of the representatives of the Moderate Faction, was once the governor of a state of the Rajas Civilization. While her power is average, her status in the Exiled Government is very high.
During the major discussions, representatives of the Moderate Faction also presented a plan, detailing the methods of execution, how to handle problems when they occur, and the planned timeline, leaving no detail untouched.
With prestige and a detailed plan, the suggestion from the Moderate Faction gained the approval of most of the participants in the discussions.
However, a small part of the participants was dissatisfied with the plan of the Moderate Faction because its implementation would take hundreds of years, if not longer!
Lifespan and the surging hatred within many people made it impossible to wait that long.
That's just not feasible!
At this moment, the Iron Blood Party, led by Garcia and others, stepped forward, and their suggestion was—
The universe is a game called Big Fish Eat Small Fish. The Apostle Holy City could swallow the Rajas Civilization because it is a bigger fish.
So, how do you eliminate the big fish in a game of Big Fish Eat Small Fish?
It's simple, keep eating fish smaller than yourself until you become bigger than the Apostle Holy City, and then naturally, you can take it down. Thinking you can beat the Apostle Holy City by developing and allying with other small fish is nothing but daydreaming. Check latest chapters at novel-fire.ɴet
The suggestions from the Moderate Faction and the Iron Blood Party are fundamentally contradictory, which is why arguing at meetings between the two sides has become the norm.
The reason they haven't split is, firstly, because both sides have just escaped from the Rajas Civilization, and, secondly, both still have some dignity and do not want to be the first to cause a split.
However, this balance seems to be on the verge of breaking.
Not to mention what the Moderate Faction thinks, but the people on the Iron Blood Party's side are becoming increasingly overbearing, with Garcia being a typical example.
As Garcia was pondering how to deal with the Moderate Faction, abrupt footsteps and sounds of quarrel rang beside him.
"Governor Ruth, Mr. Garcia is currently unavailable to see you. If you insist on forcing your way in, we'll have to take firm measures!"
"Firm measures? If you have the guts, kill me right here; if not, get out of my way!"
Garcia turned around, looking displeased: "Fine, let her come over."
A few seconds later, a fuming Ruth stormed over, and her first question upon arrival was to ask Garcia where he had imprisoned the players.
Garcia smiled and spread his hands: "Sorry, you came a bit late. I've already executed all of them."
Having rushed over at the fastest speed upon receiving the news, she hadn't expected to still be a step too late.
"Garcia, you madman, once word of what happened here gets out, what normal civilization would dare cooperate with us? You're destroying our future!"
"Future? The future you fantasize about should have been torn to shreds long ago!" Garcia shouted angrily, "I'll tell you the truth, initially, I didn't intend to act, but someone calling herself Ghost Night Dominator insisted that I kill these prisoners. She put it that way, would I still have dignity if I didn't act? Ruth, if you are wise, you'll leave now. I can forgive your rudeness, or else..."
"Or else you'll kill me? I'm not even afraid of the Apostle Holy City, Garcia, do you think I'd be afraid of you."
Ruth fired back without hesitation.
The enraged Garcia raised his right hand abruptly, preparing to control gravity to send Ruth on her way, but he forcibly suppressed his anger at the last moment.
