Chapter 1014

~5 min read 969 words

Hearing Lin Ye's complaint, Luo Man at Chaldea couldn't help but use the communication device and say: "Yes, this is the destruction brought by war."

"Alright, alright, I've already used Clairvoyance to see where there are people nearby; let's go there." Lin Ye interrupted Luo Man's nostalgia and led Mash in one direction.

West Village, one of the few human gathering places left after the destruction of Jerusalem. At this moment, Bedivere was walking through this village.

Beside him, people in rags and looking gaunt leaned by the roadside; clearly, they had been tortured by the flames of war until they were no longer human. Without food, they probably wouldn't survive three days.

And Bedivere was looking toward the southeast of the village, where the new Holy City of Camelot was located.

"King, I will come to see you soon..."

At this moment, a hunched woman holding a child's hand came to Bedivere, and she reached out her dirty hand and pleaded:

"Sir, please have mercy, give me some food; this child hasn't eaten for five days."

The woman's hand was about to touch Bedivere's arm, and at this moment, Bedivere took her hand first and placed a small bag into it.

Although not a Heroic Spirit, as an excellent knight, he naturally had such skills.

"I only have this much, sorry."

Bedivere handed the remaining small bag of food to the woman; no one understood why he would say sorry when he was clearly giving alms.

"You gave all the food to her, what will you do?" At this moment, behind Bedivere, a figure wearing a bone mask walked out.

Looking at the figure in front of him, Bedivere just silently said: "It doesn't matter; no matter the outcome, I don't need it anymore."

He looked in the direction of the Holy City of Camelot, his eyes filled with determination. And looking at Bedivere like this, the man seemed to feel something and said:

"My name is Cursed Arm, I advise you not to advance any further; tonight this place will be purged, and by then, there will only be broken walls and ruins left." Cursed Arm Hassan sighed helplessly, and then said to Bedivere: "We are already organizing people to evacuate; you should come with us. If we successfully reach the East Village, we can get help from our companions."

Cursed Arm still had some good feelings toward Bedivere; after all, someone who could give food to others in a year of war definitely wouldn't be a bad person.

However, Bedivere still shook his head firmly. "Thank you for your kindness, but I still have my own things to do."

After speaking, Bedivere firmly left. Looking at Bedivere's back, Cursed Arm shook his head helplessly and said:

"Everyone, pack your things quickly; we are leaving now! As long as we reach the East Village, we will have food to eat!"

Cursed Arm knew that the East Village was also running out of food, but "quenching thirst by looking at plums" was indeed the most effective way to boost morale.

Sure enough, at this moment, all the refugees gathered their last bit of strength and walked toward the east.

And at this moment, in the desert:

"Senpai, so where are we going now?" On the way, Mash couldn't help but ask Lin Ye.

And Lin Ye smiled and said: "I just used Clairvoyance to look at the situation of this Singularity. Now, this Singularity mainly has three forces: the most powerful Camelot, the poorest Hassan Order, and the most comfortable Egypt."

"Camelot? Is it Artoria's Holy City? Does Artoria exist here too? That's great, can we go seek help?"

"There is indeed an Artoria here, but I'm afraid it will disappoint you. This Artoria is not our friend, but... our enemy."

"What!" Mash was stunned. She immediately thought of the few Kings she knew; they were clearly so kind, even the blackened Artoria was like that, how could she become an enemy?

And looking at Mash like this, Lin Ye sighed: "Mash, there is a difference between kindness and kindness. This White Saber... no, it's more appropriate to describe her as the Lion King now. She wants to save this world, but unfortunately, her methods are different from Chaldea's."

Lin Ye began to explain to Mash: "What she wants to do is gather the excellent individuals of this world and seal them within the Holy Spear. In this way, even if the Great Light Ring falls, the people in the spear will be safe and sound."

"Like Noah's Ark?"

"Something like that."

"Then, what about the others!" Mash's expression changed; she already understood Lin Ye's meaning.

And Lin Ye stopped talking. Clearly, those people had only one outcome: death.

Lin Ye couldn't agree with the Lion King's choice, just like if one day someone told you the sun was about to explode and Earth was in danger. At this time, two forces appeared on Earth: one force chose to build some spaceships, gather all materials, select high-quality talent to put inside, and then wander the universe to find a new home. Once a new home was found, these people could rely on resources to multiply and rebuild. Rationally speaking, this might be the best method.

And another group decided to spend massive resources to build tens of thousands of engines on the surface of Earth, pushing Earth to leave the solar system in a wandering Earth project. Perhaps by the time Earth reached a suitable position, it would already be riddled with holes and resources exhausted, but the people would have survived. This is an emotional choice.

"Compared to rationality, I lean more toward emotion. Not because I'm noble, but because I'm afraid that I'm the one being abandoned to die. So Lion King, this time, I'm sorry."
