Chapter 1286: Chapter 860: Integrating Tendrils_3

It wasn’t until today that he’s finally loosened up a bit, which shows he’s been very responsible.

Moreover, he also understands that with the world’s crises increasing, if they don’t do something, the oppression from the upper races will lead them to a more painful future.

The words of the Night Watch Captain were like a torch ignited in the darkness, pointing the way for the anxious and uneasy Rabbit Race, and rekindling the firelight of "rebellion" and "hope" in their eyes.

What the Night Watchers want is not something tangible; they want these weak Rabbits to take up the blade and say no, for themselves and for their future.

The meeting concluded, and the elders and warriors of the Rabbit Race nodded one after another, quickly leaving to prepare for execution.

Geltai remained where he stood, looking out at the night through the window, his resolute face full of calm and contemplation.

The storm hasn’t ended; it’s only temporarily suppressed by a greater storm.

What he needs to do is to turn "Turnip Root" into a nail that can survive the future storm during this brief calm period.

"So, Captain, I beg you to tell me, what exactly do you want us to do? Now we’ve placed the lives of everyone in the town in the hands of the Night Watchers.

"I think, as the mayor, I should be entitled to know a little bit about your plan, right?"

The Captain turned to look at the mayor.

Unexpectedly, he patted the other’s shoulder, wrapped an arm around his neck, and pulled him to the window ledge, from where they could see the whole town.

With the descent of night, the town was lit up, looking so warm and cozy as if the fears of the day didn’t exist.

"Do you think, it’s fair?"

"What?"

"The Rabbit Race, you, and races like yours, are you treated with so-called fairness in this so-called Beastman Empire?"

Hearing this, the mayor slightly opened his mouth.

"But, but if our ancestors hadn’t joined the Beastman Empire, wouldn’t we have led a more miserable life?

"At least we have a home to live in peacefully, although there’s constant oppression from the races above, although we have to send our young to vie for the role of so-called Sentinel.

"But that’s still better than having our homes gone and everything destroyed, isn’t it?"

This is a simple comparison, knowing the history of the Rabbit Race before the existence of the Beastman Empire several hundred years ago would clarify this point.

Every race has its crisis, every race faces its difficulties.

The first Beastman Emperor was able to gather these beastmen and unite them into one because he solved at least one serious problem these races faced.

For example, the Wolf Race were nomadic tribes, living unstably, always migrating to avoid seasonal harms, and in winter, lacking a stable food supply.

Once caught in a blizzard winter, everything could possibly vanish into thin air.

Similarly, the Rabbit Race faces external force threats; they aren’t outstanding in war, yet they must resist.

Being enemies with other raiding beastmen, yet never a match, always getting raided.

Various problems of each race came together to form an empire, which was at least better than it was in the past.

This also signifies the progress of civilization.

"Indeed, but that was then; now, with progress, all races are looking forward, not standing still, and certainly not comparing with the past."

The Captain said lightly.
