Being lost was the path of life.
The future was always shrouded in mist.
"Aren't all mortals without the ability to foresee the future like this? It's because the future is unknown that strivers have endless motivation. "
Although Rorschach was consoling his colleagues who were shocked by the bad news, he also added something in his mind.
"That's what the bookstore says about chicken soup. However, the reality is that most strivers work hard for their entire lives, but the cruel reality doesn't even give them a sip of real chicken soup when they're old."
Only those who had the courage to continuously try to break through the walls didn't know how thick the walls were … This sounded quite interesting, but Rorschach didn't want to be such an idiot.
"If I want to break through the walls, I'll just find a professional repairman or a demolition team. If I can't, I'll just move to another house. Why do I have to try to break through the walls and make myself unhappy?"
And so, while he was encouraging everyone else in the Game Church, he was also thinking of ways to find a "demolition team."
"Yep, is the Truth Symposium going to have a meeting to study this? Alright, I understand that this is a serious matter, so of course we need to study it carefully. However, based on your experience, will the Truth Symposium be interested in Titan from the Harlet Wastelands? "
Rorschach had a rather subtle expression when he hung up the phone.
Through the familiar Inner Circle members, the Truth Symposium had already received the true information from the Truth Symposium. As expected, the Truth Symposium said that they were going to have a meeting to make a collective decision.
However, when Roland asked if there was any possibility of success, he received an abnormally excited reply.
"Of course we'll fully support you. This is obviously a fight for the position of the world's core. How could we possibly give up? Good job, Rorschach. You've made me proud this time. I really didn't do anything wrong when I tried my best to help you get the position of leader. "
The usually calm and even cold Undead Councilor's tone of excitement went up by two octaves. This was enough to prove how much of an impact this major discovery had on her.
Still, it made sense. The Mage Country had invested so much in this, so it was only natural that they wanted something in return.
What could possibly be a greater reward than the chance to control an entire world?
Not to mention, Titan was the one with the Four Elemental Powers. For any mage, this was an opportunity to redefine the Four Elemental Powers. This was an opportunity to trace the very origin of the Four Elemental Powers. This was an opportunity for a magical engineering civilization with the same origin to observe the Four Elemental Powers and summarize their own starting points and future directions. This was probably something that couldn't be measured by money or resources.
With the endorsement of the Inner Circle Councilman, Rorschach could finally relax a little.
Even if the sky were to fall, there would always be someone taller to hold it up. However, after seeing the actions of the New God's Church after the destruction of the fleet, Rorschach felt that they might not be much taller than him. He still needed to find someone reliable to rely on.
But in the end, he shook his head.
"To forge iron, you have to be strong yourself. You can't count on others for support at critical moments."
Rorschach's adventures in the past few years had caused him to throw away all of his fantasies. The night of the Demon God's attack and the clumsy performance of the Level 7 Church had already shattered all of Rorschach's hopes and fantasies.
That's right, it could be said that the New God's Church had put most of their efforts into the construction of their own base. This base was only a branch of the New God's Church, so the amount of manpower and resources they had put into it was rather limited.
However, during the great battle that followed, nothing had changed. This was still their branch of the New God's Church … These "companions" and "leaders" who could run away at any moment were truly unreliable.
"Has the news been confirmed?"
[Yep. The Oak Children are considering withdrawing their investment in this area. Their main base is under a lot of pressure as well. This matter is currently being investigated by the Church's inner circle. They probably gave us the news because we're all from the Nature Faction … Ever since you confirmed your identity as the Wood Spirit Prince, they've been much more courteous to us.]
Rorschach truly didn't underestimate the New God's Church. When the New God's Church sensed that a calamity was about to befall them and was frightened by the news of the Eagle's Crown's main fleet being destroyed by an unknown "Demon God", they immediately chose to retreat.
Should he stop them? No, that was meaningless. If they were shaken by such a piece of bad news, it was obvious that their fighting spirit was far too low. Perhaps they were already hesitating on whether or not they should gather their forces to defend their home base. Now, this was the final straw that broke the camel's back.
[Should we try to persuade them or put some pressure on them through Sister Rosa?]
"There's no need for that. Those who are supposed to leave will leave sooner or later. Rather than taking drastic measures at the critical moment and causing everyone to panic, it's better to leave earlier and reduce the number of unstable factors … Tell them about the news regarding the Fallen Titan! Help them strengthen their resolve to leave. "
Rorschach gritted his teeth. Although he was very unhappy with this kind of behavior of flying away before the disaster arrived, it was inevitable that it would come. There was no happiness in forcing it.
"At the same time, buy up the shares they've withdrawn. Lower the price as much as you can. Use the pressure from the wood spirits to threaten them. We'll soon release news of Fallen Titan to the market. When that happens, it'll definitely cause a new wave of panic. If they don't want to lose their shares and are in a hurry to withdraw, they will offer a very 'sincere' price. "
[Heh, then sell it to the Mage Country? Brother, you're getting better at tricking people without risking anything.]
"No, we'll keep it for ourselves this time."
Rorschach's reply was calm, but it revealed the determination in his heart.
"Not only will we buy their shares, we'll buy all the other churches' shares. The bottom line is 51% and above. No matter if we win or lose this time, this city will be ours. Whether it's our home, or … our tombstone. "
[Yeah.]
The same calm words were spoken, but they didn't require any tacit understanding.
It was still the same old saying. The other churches had a way out, but the Game Church and Lori had no possibility of withdrawing.
Even with the technology and support provided by the other churches, and being able to move Lori's divine body and Divine Kingdom, she was a New Goddess of faith. She relied on believers and faith to survive.
If the Seimos here couldn't leave, she couldn't leave either. If this place was completely destroyed, she would fall into eternal slumber. That would be even worse than death.
It was also because of the New Goddess' high reliance on faith that the various churches in Vila Nova Dônia were in a state of panic. They had to constantly evaluate which churches had the most devout believers and which needed to be protected.
When their main base was under threat, they naturally couldn't care less about their sub-base in Vila Nova Dônia.
[We might not have enough funds. During the preparation period for war, all sorts of prices are skyrocketing. Our funds are tight.]
"Go and borrow. Think of all the places you can borrow from. The Mage Country, the Bair Kingdom, the Northlands, the Wood Spirits, they'll all support me. High interest rates aren't a problem. After all, if we win, we'll have everything. If we lose … we won't have to think about how to repay our debts. We need shares and more power to speak. In this war, we can't just be spectators and participants. We have to become the leaders. "
Rorschach spoke while gritting his teeth. He knew that he and his sister had no way out.
