The incident at the Red Sand Tribe was just a minor episode.
However, observant players had noticed that, after all, so things had begun to change on the battlefield.
The Amway Trading Company under Nature’s Heart Guild changed its previous strategy, no longer only acquiring strong Half-Beast captives but instead accepting the old, weak, won, and children without discrimination...
As long as they were unbelievers, they took them all.
This naturally piqued the curiosity of many.
At the sa ti, the conversation between Tian Demacia and Moonlight Jasmine gradually spread among the players...
Especially after Demacia reorganized his thoughts and posted them on the forum.
How should foreign races in war be dealt with?
What about the future strategy of the "Elf Kingdom"?
Who exactly were the enemies of the Goddess and the Elf Clan?
And so on...
This also sparked extensive discussion among the players.
So mocked Demacia for overthinking it.
So thought Demacia was taking the ga too seriously.
So believed the enemies were just a bunch of data and killing them made no difference...
However, there were also players who agreed with Demacia’s point of view.
And there were quite a few.
Interestingly, players were almost distinctly divided into two factions, as if by batch.
Among them, the players who had spent the most ti in the "Elf Kingdom" since the first test and the second and third test players overwhelmingly supported Demacia’s viewpoint.
This included renowned players like Li Mu, Little Xian Miao, Cuckoo Bird, ng Zhihan, and so on.
They believed that there was no need to wipe out surrendered enemies and the unbelievers among them but that there could be a way to use them.
Furthermore, even the First Legion, a pure combat guild that didn’t have a very harmonious relationship with Nature’s Heart Guild, along with its Guild Leader, Fried Tomato, subtly expressed approval of Demacia’s words.
In contrast, many open beta players thought it was no big deal and that Demacia was making a fuss.
It was just a ga, so just go for it!
Even in the Death Desert War, most of those who brutally slaughtered the Half-Beasts were these fledgling newcors.
And so the debate began among the players...
This issue even alard Eve.
She, knowing the ins and outs of the whole incident, understood why it was unfolding this way.
"As ti goes on, veteran players have gradually co to genuinely see themselves as part of this world, so... when they think about issues, they often stand from more than just a player’s perspective."
"But new players haven’t been summoned for long; many still see it purely with a gar’s mindset, which is why this debate arose."
"Moreover, there are so players who simply think the enemy should not be spared..."
"This is good."
Eve was in a good mood.
Of course, it wasn’t because of the new players but because of the choices the majority of veteran players had made.
The debate among the players also proved that what Eve had once wanted to achieve had begun subtly...
That was the true realization of the unity and integration between the players and the native elves!
The undying nature and fearlessness gave players endless courage and combat power, making them akin to a descending calamity.
At the sa ti, their love for the "Elf Kingdom" and sense of identity with the Elf Clan allowed them to think more calmly when handling various problems...
This was the ultimate form of player Eve hoped for!
"It seems that staggered open testing is quite necessary, allowing new players to gradually adopt the concepts of veteran players batch by batch, so that they truly see themselves as part of the Elf Forest, thus maintaining the atmosphere I hope for..."
Eve thought this way.
The players’ discussion did not last long.
Because Eve intervened.
She confird Demacia’s viewpoint through divine decree, officially determining the future developnt direction of the "Elf Kingdom" from an official standpoint.
War was cruel, with the victor being king.
There was no rcy on the battlefield, and there was no need to show kindness to the enemy.
However, for those who "found their way back," one should not go to the extent of extermination...
They could be given a chance to embrace the right faith and beco vassals of the Elf Clan.
With the official decision, the voices of opposition among the new players quickly disappeared.
After all, rules were still set by the ga company.
For the players, as long as it was a rule set by the ga company, it was a rule to be followed.
At most, they would complain about so requirents they couldn’t agree with.
As long as it was fun to play, it was enough.
And after Eve began to offer "psychological counseling" for those logging off, the hostility among players gradually diminished.
They remained brave in battle.
But under the effect of Divine Power, they had gradually begun to control their emotions and prevent themselves from becoming machines of slaughter...
The so-called post-war syndro vanished before it even had a chance to erge.
And after this incident, the players’ combat effectiveness not only didn’t decrease but actually rose another level.
Thus, the upcoming battles went even more smoothly.
Facing such adversaries, the scattered Half-Beast Tribes in the northern Death Desert were no longer opponents.
Not to ntion they had already retracted their strength, leaving only the old, weak, sick, and disabled.
In the following days, the Player Army’s offensive was incredibly fierce and incredibly swift...
Eve originally planned for the players to reach the gates of Sandstorm City within seven days.
But by the fifth day of the mission, the vanguard scouting party had already glimpsed the spire of the iconic Sandstorm Tower from afar...
