Chapter 740 Cooperation Talks
In a building in the center of the fortress.
This is where all generals hold various meetings.
At this time, Rafael was negotiating with the generals and bishops present on behalf of Kane and his party.
"It's a pleasure to meet you generals. You can call me Rafael. This time I will come to have some discussions and cooperation with you on behalf of our president."
All the generals present also nodded and briefly introduced themselves to Raphael as follows.
"Mr. Russell said that he wants to cooperate with our Holy Light Alliance. Do you want to join us or..."
The bishop asked with some confusion. After all, the so-called Holy Light Alliance was only formed because of the threat from the undead, an external force.
Belonging is an alliance that all people spontaneously form in order to protect themselves in the face of a big crisis.
In response to the bishop's question, Raphael shook his head lightly.
"It's not about joining, but about cooperating with the entire Holy Light Alliance. After all, our country's homeland is not here, but on the other side of the sea."
"Mr. Rafael, with all due respect, I don't know much about you, nor do I know why you are here.
Can you let us know more about your power?"
A general said.
After all, these generals hardly knew any information about Kane and the others.
Suddenly appeared and saved them.
Regarding the general's words, Raphael nodded: "Of course, there is no problem. Our Lantern Kingdom was formed by explorers and the natives of the Ring of the World, and will always implement the will of the mist."
"The reason why I came here is also because of the threat of the undead forces. These undead have caused too many casualties to the surroundings and implicated many ordinary people."
"They turned a blind eye to the warnings of the fog, and we were tasked by the fog to annihilate them."
Although Raphael was raising the banner of fog, there was nothing wrong with what he said.
Because the mist has indeed sent a mission to the explorers to annihilate the undead forces, it is okay to say so.
After hearing Raphael's answer, the generals present exploded.
"You are explorers? What is the outside world like?"
The bishop first asked questions. They were really curious.
Although they are not at the very edge here, unlike Kane and others who are leaning against the wall of mist.
But it is also in the last ring, not too far away from the Border Mist Wall.
And now that the Ring of the World has only been open for a year, naturally not many explorers will come to such a place.
Even if he comes, he will hide it.
This caused them to be very curious about the outside world. The existence of Explorers was only known to them when they heard the story of the mist when the Ring of World was opened.
Their specific understanding of the world is limited. If we say it, they may only begin to understand the world in a year.
Understanding the intelligence of the outside world, knowing the existence of the fog, and the specific role of the explorer has always been information that everyone wants to know.
"Not all of them, only some are explorers. For example, members of the Knights are local residents, and they are also citizens of the Lantern Kingdom."
"As for outside intelligence, as long as you cooperate with us, of course these will not be hidden from you."
After listening to Raphael's words, the general and the bishop began to talk quietly.
After a while, the bishop said to Raphael: "You know we are just the people in charge sent by various forces to defend this fortress. Whether we can cooperate is not something we can decide.
But you can inform us of the project you want to cooperate with, and we will send messengers to the leaders of each force first."
Hearing the bishop's words, Raphael nodded: "Of course, it should be so, but we don't have much time. I hope you can reply as soon as possible."
Hearing Raphael's words, the bishop nodded: "Yes, I will receive a specific reply in the next two days."
For some affairs of the alliance, the bishop can report directly to the Pope.
At least it won't be like the various administrative agencies of those forces, which are dilly-dallying and unable to make a decision.
"In this case, I will start to explain some of our needs."
"First of all, you should know that the Mist does not allow large-scale massacres of ordinary people. This is why those undead forces are wanted by the Mist."
Everyone nodded at Raphael's words.
Normal forces maintain such rules on the surface.
Then Raphael frowned and said in a very serious tone: "But the refugee problems we saw along the way made it very difficult for us to accept."
After hearing Raphael's words, all the generals couldn't help but show panic on their faces.
At least as high-level officials, they also know what is going on with these refugees and what will happen to them.
But even they, even if they have sympathy for the refugees, can't do anything.
That is not a responsibility that a certain force or the current Holy Light Alliance can bear.
Even the bishop could only sigh.
"Sir, I believe you saw it all the way here. We can't even maintain our own people, let alone these refugees."
"Allowing them to build shelters around the city is the biggest contribution we can make."
This is not a lie. The appearance of these refugees has also increased the crime rate in all cities and made the security of all cities more urgent.
Not to mention that there are still interference from the undead forces, and there are simply not that many guards to patrol.
If it weren't for the rules of the fog.
"Of course, of course I know your difficulties, so I'm not here to challenge you."
"We are here to help you solve this problem."
"Solved?" The bishop's voice sounded a little confused.
As the commander of the fortress and the bishop of the church, he clearly knew the approximate number of refugees.
"Sir, you must know that the number of refugees is close to 3 million!"
The bishop was afraid that Raphael would not know the number of refugees, so he reminded him emphatically.
Then he took down the map hanging on the wall behind him and spread it in front of Raphael.
"Before the Ring of the World was opened, the area of the undead had always been limited to this small area."
He pointed to a small piece of land not far away. It was a valley with only two exits at the front and back.
The area is equivalent to the area occupied by the Knights of the Lantern in the Ring of the World in the earliest times.
Then, the bishop pointed to an entire red area on the map and said: "But in just one year, they expanded their scope to such a wide extent."
"There are countless intelligent races living here, but most of them were killed by them, and very few refugees escaped."
"But too many forces have been wiped out. Even so, there are still about 3 million refugees!"
The total area of the red area on the map is equivalent to Kane's current lantern collar multiplied by three to four times.
In such a huge area, only 3 million lives escaped.
It can be seen that the natural disaster caused by this undead has reached an exaggerated level.
Raphael looked at the map and began to suspect that the reason why they came here was because the mist gave Kane a mission.
It's too strange that there is no response to such an exaggerated casualty fog.
However, the number of 3 million did not exceed Raphael's budget.
They estimated at the earliest that the number of refugees might reach about one to two million, and that the number of three million would be within an acceptable level.
After all, they had already encountered the undead before they entered Area 3. This shows how large-scale the undead have started a war.
"3 million, no problem. Don't underestimate our ability. After all, we are here to solve these problems."
After hearing what Raphael said, the bishop could only nod his head and say nothing more.
"So, do you need any help from us in this?"
After hearing the bishop's words, Rafael said: "We will help you solve the refugee problem, but you have to send soldiers or conduct propaganda to these refugees and bring them to the place designated by us."
"We will prepare a sufficient number of ships at the seaside to pick up these refugees, and you will not even need to provide food."
After hearing Raphael's words, these generals looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.
Isn't this different from pie in the sky?
Just sending some soldiers and asking some personnel to take these refugees to a designated place, can this be considered helping?
They don't even need to provide any food.
For a moment, they even began to doubt whether there was something wrong with Kane's power.
"No need to be surprised, we have the strength to transport all these millions of people, and there will be no shortage of food for us during this period."
After hearing Raphael's words, these generals said nothing more.
To be continued...
