Sunlight wouldn't eliminate conspiracies, but it would make conspiracies choose to hide in the shadows.
In this man-made chaotic night, the Evil God's Church, which was supposed to be the main character, became a supporting character. The warlords took action and seized the time to eliminate their dissidents.
You kill me, I kill you. The boss kills the underlings, and the underlings turn on the boss.
Since there were no conspiracies under the sun, then it was better to end everything in the dark.
Years of "peace" had accumulated countless conflicts. The flames of ambition were always burning in the hearts of the warlords.
Feng's encounter wasn't an exception. In fact, at this time, the entire Cape Town had turned into a battlefield.
The warlords were killing each other. A batch of tribal chiefs had already retired from the stage of history, and some of them were even super leaders who were ranked at the top.
The Aishi People's "peace policy" suppressed the conflicts between the warlords, but it was impossible to eliminate them. If the warlords targeted the tribes and the leaders of the cities, then all the other warlords would be competitors.
On the way here, Rorschach noticed this situation. Two groups of "evil cultists" wearing black robes were fighting on the street. Their brains were all over the place.
Magic and curses flew everywhere. Thunder and heavy artillery bombarded the ground. If it weren't for the fact that they weren't very serious about their disguises, and that their military uniforms and armor were too obvious, Rorschach would have thought that this was an internal conflict between the evil cultists.
This undoubtedly reminded Rorschach of the most important thing to do now.
History had proven that if he wanted a harmonious and stable city, he had to let the locals form a government and act as the leader. At least on the surface, he had to look like a local.
Cape Town could only be led by a Seymour. Considering the fact that they were long-lived species, it wouldn't make much sense to get a nobody to be their puppet. A person's reputation was especially important among long-lived species.
Without needing much time, Rorschach was sure that this was an opportunity. An opportunity to reshuffle the cards in Cape Town and even the entire wasteland. It was an opportunity that wouldn't come again if he missed it.
"The pressure of the Dimensional War is right in front of us. Rather than a bunch of loose sand that doesn't agree on the surface, I might as well do it myself. No, I don't need everything to be under my control. An ambitious ally who has the courage to face the evil gods is much more useful than a submissive puppet. "
After much consideration, Rorschach gave up on the most attractive option of directly intervening.
The Cape Town people's autonomy had become common knowledge and practice among their people. It was not impossible to challenge the custom, but it would cost them extra time and money, both of which were currently in short supply.
"That was then and this is now. In the past, we hoped that Cape Town would be as chaotic as possible. Only a plate of loose sand would be suitable for our long-term cooperation. But now, only a strong leader can deal with the threat of war. The other churches probably won't think this way, but why should I care about what they think? "
The rift between the Game Church and the other churches was very obvious. The Game Church's main goal was to protect this wasteland and peacefully survive this Dimensional War. As for the other churches, their main goal was to protect their headquarters, but it might not be here.
Over the past few days, the Game Church had suggested and urged the other churches to move their headquarters here. However, Eagle's Crown, which had originally intended to do so, had met with misfortune and slowed down the progress of this project.
It was like a group of bandits preparing to commit a crime. Those who had no proof of allegiance and no criminal record would naturally be guarded against and guarded against.
To be precise, Lori and Rorschach of the Game Church had seen through the perfunctory attitude of some people. They were completely disappointed in those people and had even given up hope.
In the face of danger, since they were not on the same boat, there was no need to talk about trust.
However, the people of Cape Town were different from the people of Seymour. This was their home. Where could they hide? The Great Migration also required a direction. If the entire plane was engulfed in the flames of war, they would have nowhere to run.
At this time, Rorschach and Lori had seen through the situation.
"Perhaps, the people of Seymour are the only allies we can trust. Perhaps, as long as we lead the people of Seymour through this crisis, the Mist God System will become their patron and main god. "
At this time, a bold idea appeared.
"Should we take advantage of this opportunity to unify Cape Town completely?"
After some consideration, Rorschach realized that this was indeed possible.
While everyone was in a state of panic, the leader with the highest reputation could easily rise to the top with a shout.
What he needed was a group of military forces that would support him in his ascension to the throne.
"If we go all out, it's possible. We've been running Cape Town for so many years. How can the hundreds of thousands of believers not have any combat power? "
Rorschach was a little hesitant. This was a classic one-shot deal. It was either success or failure.
As long as he took action, he would definitely be interfering with the internal affairs of Cape Town. The nature of this would be extremely bad.
It would be fine if they succeeded. However, if they failed, the entire Church would probably be viewed as an enemy or even expelled by all the warlords.
"Haven't we been hiding and preparing for so long to make a big move? Do you think that if Cape Town continues to be in chaos, it would be a good thing for the Dimensional War? Do you think there will be a chance like this in the next ten years? "
In the end, Seviala helped Rorschach make up his mind.
Thus, Rorschach made up his mind to help Feng, who was the least likely to be promoted, rise to the top.
Yes, Feng's reputation was the highest, but he was the least likely to be promoted.
Although the Aishi People thought highly of him, he was also one of the few local leaders who was not hostile to outsiders. He even took the initiative to learn the culture and technology of the outsiders.
It was still the same as before. How could the Aishi People be willing to let a strong leader rise to the top? The lesson from the previous city lord was still fresh in their minds.
But now, Rorschach did not need to think so far ahead. The rise of the Seymour people? If they were free, then so be it. As long as they could survive the disaster ten years later, everything else could be discussed at a later time. Right now, he was still worried about his useless teammate becoming a godly teammate.
Rorschach did not report to the board of directors. He knew that not only would it be meaningless, but he would also be criticized and stopped.
He even knew that he had become a traitor to the board of directors. The Church probably only wanted to steadily extract resources and profits from Cape Town to deal with the challenges and risks of their own headquarters.
"Betrayal is betrayal. I just didn't expect that I would do what Mu Na did back then again."
Rorschach's only sigh was probably this.
After making up his mind, it was actually easier to take action.
The underground warehouse of the toy factory was opened. The standardized delivery trucks were loaded with a few "decorations" and "toys." The tanks and rocket vehicles were assembled.
The mascots and sculptures in front of the entertainment plaza suddenly took off their outer shells. Their metallic shells were standard fourth-generation and quasi fifth-generation magic armors.
The chefs in the kitchen and the employees in the toy store took off their work clothes, picked up their firearms, and rushed to the battlefield.
The young mages who stayed behind to guard the training ground were already scared out of their wits. However, the sudden reprimand of their teachers told them to quickly provide magic support to the battle groups.
All these years, the Game Church's military production line had never stopped. However, not many people had the ability or the idea to investigate the toy factories and game workshops.
Looking at the countless fireworks in the sky above the city, Rorschach took a deep breath. This was the longest night, and it was difficult to endure. But if he could endure it, perhaps history and the future would change.
