In the depths of the southwestern island, there was a vast basin.
It was surrounded by many mountains. Unless one looked down from the sky, one would never be able to see what was inside.
The mountain where Karna was before was one of the mountains.
He was like a dutiful gatekeeper, firmly guarding this place until today, when he finally invited outsiders to this place.
Rozen, Matthew, and Skaha were led here by Karna.
Then …
"This … this is …!?"
Matthew couldn't help covering her mouth.
"Fu!"
Fou, who was standing on Matthew's shoulder, also widened its eyes slightly.
“.....”
Skaha was silent.
"This …"
"How could this be …"
“.....”
Inside Chaldea, Olga Marie, Roman, and Da Vinci were also speechless.
So Rozen also looked at the scene in front of him with a gloomy face.
The cruel scene that made everyone react this way was presented in front of everyone.
"Woo …"
"Ah …"
"Coo …"
Accompanied by faint or heavy moans of pain, the cries of agony kept echoing.
What appeared in front of everyone was a scene that could even be called hell.
In this basin, tents were rising from the ground. However, they were either extremely messy, tattered, or even arranged in an extremely messy manner. Rather than calling it a campsite, it would be more accurate to call it a remnant of ruins.
Painful moans and cries of agony kept coming from the tents. There were also beds that seemed to be too big to fit into the tents. They were concentrated in a few places and were full of people.
These people were all humans.
Obviously, they were the natives of this continent who had survived.
The number of natives was not small. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a lack of tents, causing the beds to be arranged outside. Some people were even lying against rocks or walls.
However, these natives were in an extremely bad state.
Some were lying in tents, covered in blood and seriously injured.
Some of them were lying on their beds. Although they weren't seriously injured, they were all suffering from various injuries.
There were also some who were not injured, but they were almost all skin and bones from starvation. They lay weakly in various corners and their breathing was very weak.
Even the children, women, and pregnant women seemed to be malnourished. All of them sat in the corner with haggard expressions. Their conditions were very bad.
For a moment, all sorts of moans, groans, and cries reverberated throughout the basin.
Although the uninjured men were holding hunting rifles and patrolling like soldiers protecting the campsite, their faces were also sallow and listless. They were as thin as bamboo poles and were unbearable to look at.
Seeing such a scene, who wouldn't feel heavy?
Even Rozen didn't look too good.
"How long?"
So Rozen asked in a low voice.
The baffling question was answered by Karna's indifferent reply.
"Some of them were already seriously injured when I found them. They have been here all this time without any effective treatment. Some of them were attacked by the army of the Celtic gods when they went out to look for food. They almost lost their lives but luckily managed to escape. As for the rest, although they weren't injured, their food ran out a week ago and their water ran out three days ago. There's nothing left here now."
That was it.
According to Karna, all the natives of North America had gathered here and were struggling to survive the war between the two divine kingdoms.
Karna had come here by chance. He had once saved a few natives from the army of the Celtic gods, and was brought here by them. He had never left since then. Even when he left, it was only to search for other survivors. After confirming that there were no survivors on the continent, he had stayed here.
However, when Karna arrived, most of the people here were already seriously injured. It seemed that they had tried their best to escape the massacre of the Celtic army and hide here.
As for the rest, they were either injured or killed when they went out to look for food, or because of the lack of food and water, they were not far from death.
"I also tried to go out to hunt, but with the war between the two Divine Kingdoms, it wasn't easy to prepare enough food for so many people. In the end, I could only barely feed the children. As for water, the amount I could bring back was also very limited. Unfortunately, I also don't have the ability to heal others, so I can only protect them like this and prevent them from being disturbed."
Karna gave a concise and comprehensive explanation, allowing everyone to finally understand the situation in front of them.
Especially the people in Chaldea, they sighed again and again.
"Even if you're a special Servant, you're still a single individual. It's not easy to find enough food to feed so many natives on this continent that has fallen into war."
"This is a mysterious land with thin air. Unlike in the legends, there aren't huge boars to hunt. Even if you hunted a flock of sheep, it wouldn't be enough to feed all the natives."
"Moreover, there are two divine kingdoms watching. Too obvious a move will only expose this place and bring disaster. There's nothing we can do in the end."
Olga Marie, Roman, and Da Vinci said with complicated feelings.
"So, you've been protecting the natives here all this time?"
Skaha seemed surprised by Karna's actions.
Karna didn't admit it, but he didn't deny it either.
Perhaps it was because of Karna's protection that the natives here hadn't been exposed. Otherwise, even if there was such a hidden place, it might not have been able to hide from the two divine kingdoms.
But that was also the limit.
It was impossible for Karna to provide for the natives, which was the only shelter they had left, on his own.
After all, no matter how strong he was, the conditions and environment were limited. It was easy to kill people, but not so easy to save people.
Now, the natives in this basin had almost reached their limit. Even when Karna brought people back, none of them responded. They were all extremely weak and couldn't care about anything else.
Matthew couldn't help but bite her lips.
"Director, Doctor, Da Vinci, can't you think of something with the resources of Chaldea?"
Matthew asked Chaldea for help.
That made all three of them distressed.
"Although Chaldea's resources are self-sufficient, there's still more than enough for the entire facility. If you want to provide for so many natives, it can only last for a month at most."
Olga Marie gave such an answer.
"Besides, even if Chaldea can provide enough resources, the resources that can be sent to you are quite limited. After all, it's a teleportation across space and time, and the restrictions are very high."
Roman also raised the same question helplessly.
"If it's only a part of it, we can still think of something, but it's really difficult to provide enough natives to continue the development of humanity."
After thinking for a while, Da Vinci shook his head.
That made Matthew's heart filled with disappointment.
Then …
"Let me do it."
Rozen said as if he was suppressing his emotions.
Then, before the others could react, magic surged out of Rozen's body.
