Coming downstairs didn't take long before the Hawk Faction's representative arrived.
A stern-faced Foxman youth walked in, accompanied by a few Tiger-man bodyguards.
Seeing this Foxman youth, the Demoness Maiden couldn't help but feel a bit nervous.
So many years of old adversaries, yet a long ti without words exchanged.
When was the last ti they spoke?
The Demoness Maiden recalled so embarrassing incidents from her youth.
"Long ti no see." The Demoness Maiden stood up, smiled, and greeted, trying hard to suppress her inner embarrassnt.
The Foxman youth nodded, ca straight to sit opposite the Demoness Maiden, then spoke solemnly: "Did you receive Lord Lamiel's ssage?"
"So many years, you still lack tact." The Demoness Maiden couldn't help but roll her eyes, yet the embarrassnt within vanished: "Of course, I'm aware of Lord Lamiel's ssage..."
"War!" The Foxman youth uttered the word, his fluffy red fox ears trembling slightly, and his tail tensed: "Comprehensive war has arrived!"
Whether from nervousness or excitent, the Foxman youth's whiskers trembled along with his long fox nose: "And our people are not yet ntally prepared!"
"I know." The Demoness Maiden sighed: "I've been trying to guide them, but there are always so... always so..."
"Holy Mother, is it? Oh! What a terrible term!" The Foxman youth snorted coldly: "Holy and mother, such noble words, yet combined into such disgusting terminology!"
"They just can't distinguish between reality and limited kindness." The Demoness Maiden retorted.
"Only fools, only fools! Only fools would feel that those disgusting things in Horus have any value." The Foxman youth glanced at the Demoness Maiden:
"Don't tell you also think those things have value."
"I don't know if they hold value for other races, but at least for us in Naseng, they are enemies." The Demoness Maiden rolled her eyes again: "I've read your views more than a hundred tis."
"Yes, the position determines the mind!" The Foxman youth argued confidently: "Can't expect to help the other side, can you?"
"Oh! By the lava, you've changed so much over the years!" The Demoness Maiden couldn't help but hold her head.
The Foxman youth used to be often shy and introverted, only becoming like a volcanic eruption during speeches.
But now, the Demoness Maiden felt the youth sitting across from her was nothing less than a small volcano.
Too explosive a temper!
And just as they were discussing, the door was opened again.
A handso middle-aged man with golden hair walked in, looking stern.
Upon hearing the sound, the Demoness Maiden and the Foxman youth promptly got up and turned around.
Both, along with their attendants, spoke in unison: "Greetings, Lord Lamiel!"
The newcor was indeed a follower of the Duke of Lava, the initial follower of Lin Ke—strong and wise Minstrel, Instruntalist, Knight Mr. Lamiel!
"Don't care for too many formalities." Lamiel swiftly stepped forward and stood before the two.
The Foxman youth and Demoness Maiden exchanged a glance, seeing a trace of surprise in each other's eyes.
They had never seen Lord Lamiel in this manner!
Every ti they t Lord Lamiel, they felt his elegant vocabulary and his smile warm like a spring breeze.
But at this mont, Lamiel's face was as solemn as if the Great Wilderness City might be annihilated in the next second.
"Comprehensive war has begun; the ideological and cultural aspect is direly critical!"
Lamiel, frowning, focused his eyes on the Demoness Maiden: "According to statistics, too many people oppose the war! Most of them are won and have joined your faction!"
"Perhaps peace has lasted too long, and these people have forgotten how to survive! They are completely imrsed in their current affluent lives, utterly ignoring the chaos outside!"
Lamiel's voice was heavy, making the Demoness Maiden's heart sink.
Indeed!
The Magma Territory has protected her faction's mbers too well!
Unlike her, who is qualified to witness beings from Horus.
Thus she knows that, for such existence, choosing peace equals choosing to die for Naseng.
"I've discussed with Sophie."
Lamiel's expression was grave, causing the Demoness Maiden's brows to furrow tightly as well.
"We have always believed that all those advocating for peace should be controlled first, to prevent them from causing chaos."
"So are even in high-level city hall positions, or even hold the leadership of a city's city hall, but no matter."
Lamiel exhaled: "The peace faction will be directly disbanded! Simultaneously, the war faction will also be disbanded, and key mbers will enter the security system to supervise speech. Upon detecting anyone spreading information unfavorable to the Magma Territory, imdiate action will be taken!"
"Ah?!"
The two before Lamiel exclaid simultaneously.
"But restricting personal freedom..." The Demoness Maiden was dumbfounded.
"Moreover, such an event isn't permitted by the code. Does the Great Wilderness Council agree?" The Foxman youth frowned, worried about other matters.
"I will explain the situation to John, and ask Diana to suppress the power of the code." Lamiel walked to the window, gazed at the peaceful yet bustling street outside, flourishing and beautiful: "If Diana refuses to oppose the power of the code, I can only contact Lin Ke."
Lin Ke rely transmitted the ssage of comprehensive war, but the specific arrangents are made by these people.
So, if faced with sothing the majority is undecided about or disagreents arise, the best approach is to seek Lin Ke's guidance.
Secondly, if unable to consult Lin Ke, the citizens must be convened to hold a Great Wilderness eting chaired by John for voting.
Of course, there's also a higher organization called the Naseng's Fate Community.
However, this is an internal affair of the Magma Territory, typically free from external intervention unless absolutely necessary.
However, the entire Magma Territory, including John, Rica, and Garoce, cannot modify or defy the code, nor bypass it for judgnt or legal promulgation.
Perhaps legends and Dominators can forcibly modify it, but that would destroy the code created by Lin Ke.
Only one person can block the code's power.
And that is Naseng's first Judge, Lin Ke's follower—Diana!
However, although Diana is a follower, she's not an old-ti follower, and strictly adheres to her inner code.
Lamiel wasn't very familiar with Diana, but he was worried that she might obstinately refuse to confront the code.
"...However, that's our issue."
Lamiel ca back to himself, walked back from the window, placed his hands on the table, and looked at the two young people:
"In essence, what you must do is set a good example."
"If the Magma Territory needs to undergo comprehensive war, it ans the territory might face destruction!"
"Surely Lin Ke discovered sothing at the front line, so factor that might destroy the Great Wilderness City!"
"If so many legends and Dominators, under the Naseng's Fate Community, couldn't prevent the destruction of the Great Wilderness City..."
"...then, will there be any life surviving in Naseng?"
