This week's issue of "Absolute Truth" arrived two and a half days late. However, due to the advertisements and the fact that there would be an editor-in-chief column, as well as the fact that there would be important news, the sales actually increased slightly.
"Two or three things about a new magical civilization, written by editor-in-chief Rorschach himself."
Unlike the exaggerated titles of other media outlets, "Absolute Truth" had gradually become the trademark of "Absolute Truth".
The content on the front page was just as the title said. It was a simple travelogue, but it still attracted many readers and even other professionals.
"Please allow me to use the word 'civilization' to describe this unique species. In just a few hundred years of migration and suffering, not only did they establish their own society, they even embarked on a path of magical engineering similar to that of the Aishi … They've already absorbed and used our magical engineering technology. Among them, the Horned Elephant Tribe even has the technology to create battleships and ports, as well as our standard magical armor."
Just like in the past, Rorschach simply recorded what he saw and heard in Ansorenne.
He didn't exaggerate or belittle them, but he still gave the Seymour people and their "Thunder Civilization" a very high evaluation.
"… I never thought that the Thunderstrike Stone, which is worth more than adamantine and mithril, would appear in the form of a mountain range in that area. This is such a tremendous amount of wealth, yet the owners of this wealth are still living in a primitive society of slash-and-burn farming. It's simply intolerable …"
Perhaps if Salia knew what Rorschach was doing now, and what he was about to do, she would probably regret not killing him at all costs.
The greatest secret of the Seymour people, the origin of Mount Sainte, was thrown into the daily magazines that the citizens casually bought. Soon, everyone would know this secret. They would know that the boundless wealth was thrown into the wastelands, and that the guardians of the wealth were a group of "primitive people" who tamed animals and walked dogs.
What would the Seymour people obtain? Opportunities? Visitors? Enemies? Perhaps everything would be unknown. However, the people of Mount Sainte who were about to be destroyed probably had no choice.
If that was all, it probably wouldn't be enough to mess up the entire situation. However, Rorschach threw out enough bait at the end.
"The mutated Thunderstrike Stone can transform small lizards into ferocious beasts the size of Tyrannosaurus rex. The Thunder Civilization has also developed extremely special positioning and directional devices within the magic fog."
This time, as long as there was a chance, even the leaders of large churches and Gods would be tempted to take action.
This was the first step in Rorschach's plan with the Church of Game and even the new Five Gods Alliance.
"Firstly, we have to muddy the waters. We have to combine our forces and work with Corner City... Judging from the things they've brought out, we can't even be on par with them, let alone involve the other West Moors tribes. Therefore, we have to lure the big fish into the fray."
As for whether or not the situation would go out of control after the major crocodiles entered the fray … well, the New Gods Alliance didn't intend to become the overlord of a fish pond, nor did they intend to establish their own country. If things went out of control, so be it.
Would the Thunder Civilization be the first to clear the area? Another advantage of controlling public opinion was that as long as the "allies" didn't have the confidence to wipe out the Game Church together with the Descended Gods, they would have to consider the consequences of violating the unspoken rules of peace between the New Gods.
What the New God Alliance really wanted was not as simple as messing up the situation. This was just a method to hide their true goal.
"Peace? There will never be a situation where one side is crushing the other. To stop the civil war among the Seymour people and restore order to the entire region, it's not enough to just maintain the status quo. "
How many Seymour people are in the wasteland? A few million? There are so many scattered tribes in such a large region. There should be at least a million of them. Even if we combine our forces, it doesn't seem like we can do anything.
In the poor Ansorenne, as long as one worked hard to survive, it was a form of training and training. A sufficient population would definitely bring about enough strong people, especially in Cape Town, which was ahead of the entire wasteland in terms of technology and population. Once the entire city fell to the side of the Evil Gods, it was equivalent to announcing the demise of the New Gods in the New God Alliance. After all, they couldn't move.
What was supposed to be a regional incident had turned into a major incident after the discovery of the secrets of the Sacred Mountain and the true strength of the Seymour people. It was not enough to rely solely on the Church of Game.
Rorschach didn't rush back just to expose the truth.
After a series of behind-the-scenes transactions and communications, the "reinforcements" were already on their way.
Unfortunately, the "mercenaries" who arrived first were all Rorschach's old acquaintances.
The core of Cape Town was naturally the so-called inner city. It was brightly lit and densely populated. However, there was an area that seemed to have a faulty fog dispelling equipment. It was perpetually shrouded in fog, just like the scenery in the suburbs.
There were always strange sounds and screams coming out of the fog. Strange people in black robes walked in and out of the fog. There were bloodstains on the streets, but outsiders were already used to it.
After all, Corner City's prison and labor camp are here. The largest slave trading market is also here. Other tribes and other Seymour tribe's prisoners of war are unlikely to be treated with 'human rights' here. "
