Chapter 1,103 Can’t Afford It
"Marylandu, do you want to agree to them? You should know the seriousness of this matter!"
"We just came here by chance. We cannot interfere in the affairs here. Although we have exported a lot of technology over the years and helped this planet improve its civilization level, these are all side effects. The little things at the end.”
"But being involved in their fight is absolutely not allowed. You should know that this is not an ordinary place, this is..."
As soon as Upson left, objections rang out in the room. A young woman in her twenties stood up and persuaded her leader anxiously.
Those Lighthouse people don't understand the fundamentals of this world, but they know that this is not an ordinary place, not one of those indigenous planets where they can do whatever they want.
They change technology, make life change rapidly, bring about systems, and allow civilians to gain freedom, and so on. . These are all tolerable side effects.
As for the disguised development of this barbaric continent to its current scale, it was actually an unexpected move, and they paid a high price for it. Four of the eighteen people were killed or injured.
this. . Or is it because those real terrifying beings are busy fighting.
With mutual restraint, they can survive here.
But this does not mean that they have the ability to intervene in real terrorist disputes.
The consequences of this are. . They couldn't bear it.
But before the woman could finish her words, she was interrupted by a middle-aged man who stood up.
"I know where this place is, and I also know what the consequences will be if we rashly intervene in the fight between them."
"Our existence until now is entirely due to the various struggles and mutual restraints between them. Otherwise, we would have disappeared long ago."
"Even if our civilization can spread and technology can thrive in today's society, it is because some people acquiesce or even push behind it."
"Logically speaking, we shouldn't get involved in this matter, but..."
"But you also know that we cannot do without their support. Over the years, with the growth of the Lighthouse Nation and the influx of countless resources, our warships have been successfully restored to their current level. Now we have reached a critical moment. We cannot To be able to lose them.”
"Once we lose their support, we have no hope of leaving this place."
"After so many years, I think you all have missed home. We don't have much life left. If we can't return to the Republic before then, we... will probably stay here forever."
"Instead of doing this, it's better to give it a try."
The middle-aged man known as Maryland frowned and expressed his thoughts with a sad face. This was also a helpless move. He didn't know what kind of situation he would face when he was involved in the battle between those terrifying beings. What kind of result?
But. . He couldn't help but be involved, because it was related to their own vital interests.
"However, you should know that we are no match for those people. They have hidden themselves for various reasons over the years. The early battles caused them heavy losses and they had to recuperate, which gave us the opportunity to develop."
"What's more, the spread of Lighthouse Country and even our technology is just some counterattack made by the Dark Council to weaken the divine power. We have to make every compromise to survive."
"Now this matter involves the terrifying Eastern cultivators and the battle between the two major forces. If we get involved, we will probably be regarded as enemies by them. Once this happens, we people will not be able to survive for long."
"Those who cause real trouble will be wiped out in an instant. Have you forgotten how our six companions died?"
"If Du Li hadn't sacrificed herself and became someone's servant, we wouldn't be able to survive at all now."
Despite this, some people still maintain a firm opposition to this matter.
They live here in a foreign land, and they are able to survive today only because of the sacrifices of their companions. Some even lost their freedom forever and became the playthings of a powerful being. Only these people can survive.
This approach is undoubtedly something that destroys the delicate balance.
It's a small thing to prevent them from fighting in the Lighthouse Country, but once they cause hatred, it will be a disaster.
"Then... do we have any other options now?" However, not everyone agreed with this. One of the old men smiled bitterly and asked the questioner dryly.
Now we are in a dilemma. If we refuse to abide by the covenant, there will be no doubt. . Their restoration plan has been put on hold, and the volunteers that the Lighthouse Country has given over the years are expected to disappear.
Their lifespan is about to be exhausted, and there is no possibility of returning to their hometown, and they eventually die from this.
But if you abide by the covenant, you may offend a few huge forces that cannot be offended, and the consequences in the future will be unpredictable.
"We are also the best warriors of the Republic, how could we end up in this situation! Damn it, it was definitely a mistake for us to land here. The universe is so big and there are so many planets, why are we so unlucky to land in this place!"
"If it were other places where the indigenous people lived, we could easily destroy them and plunder everything, but now... we can only hide here and be timid!" Someone said angrily and smashed the table.
He felt that the most unlucky thing in their lives was to land in this damn place, this untouchable place.
Otherwise, with their powerful combat power, powerful technology and terrifying weapons, how could they have ended up in such a situation?
"Stop talking about this. What we are asking now is for you to vote on this matter. Whether we will help or not, please think carefully. If you agree, please raise your hands!"
Marylanddu also sighed, and then said in a deep voice to a group of people.
In the end, he was the first to raise his hands, and everyone around him raised their hands one by one. Seven to five, the matter of supporting the fulfillment of the covenant was passed.
Then Maryland Du Cai said in a deep voice: "Everyone, you must be careful about this matter. We are just to prevent them from having an unbearable fight on the land of the Lighthouse State, not to become enemies with them."
"The attitude must be resolute and tough, but we must not take action against any of them, otherwise... we will not be able to bear the consequences!"
Although he knew that everyone must be aware of it, he still couldn't help but emphasize this point.
Whether it is the East or the West, they are far from being as simple as they appear. They can't afford to offend the key figures among them, not even the distant republic behind them.
