Chapter 783: Unified Thoughts, Combining Will
The people in the hall gradually dispersed, but the discussion about the war had just begun.
As they returned to their posts and brought back the news, everything began to ferment.
Workers, crusaders, civilian staff, researchers, students... people from all walks of life are beginning to think about how future wars will be fought.
Xius always comes up with some advanced tactical plans, mainly because he stands on the shoulders of giants and has the entire military development history of Blue Star as a reference. Even if Castel cannot produce many weapons, this vision is enough to influence the entire battle situation.
But there are no extraordinary people on Blue Star, and Caster's future way of fighting will definitely take a completely different path.
What Xius could do was to gather everyone's wisdom - after all, he was just one person, and he certainly couldn't come up with as much as everyone else could together.
Especially with Monica, the legendary idea king
In addition to sparking a wave of heated discussion, Castel's general mobilization also officially began.
The news of the defeat in the battle with Pope Jules quickly spread throughout Blood Harbor and Castel, and Hughes did not put any restrictions on it.
People didn't seem to blame the banshee.
In fact, both the Crusaders and the civilians shared the same hatred for the enemy.
You have to know that this was a trend of thought that emerged spontaneously before Castel's propaganda tools were launched.
It was also for this reason that Hughes started the general mobilization with confidence.
Today, Castel is not the only island under the rule of Hughes. Blood Harbor is also a very important part, and its population is far greater than that of Castel Island itself.
The people of Castel have experienced many wars since the Deep Sea War and witnessed the rise of industry along the way. Naturally, they are loyal fans of Hughes.
It’s different here in Blood Harbor.
The composition of the people in Blood Harbor is extremely complex. There are local people in Blood Harbor, refugees from the North, young people from other parts of Tis who come here to try their luck, and prisoners of war who are escorted back.
There are even family members of hired workers like Rebecca who were recruited here from other places.
Most of these people are free people, and Xius is not their lord. Logically, their loyalty is the lowest.
Therefore, if Hughes wanted to launch a general mobilization, he had to find out the attitudes of his people.
It seems to be going very smoothly now.
The Banshees are originally a foreign race. If they can gain support, then Zeus's policies will also be unimpeded.
Castel's centripetal force is much stronger than Hughes' most optimistic predictions.
This is actually Hughes's own blind spot in cognition.
He built Castel's administrative system according to the standards of Blue Planet and the standards of a modern regime, but he only felt that there were many shortcomings and that there was still a lot he could do.
But he overlooked one thing.
This is a continent ravaged by war, a world where the walls of reality are crumbling, a world that has just left the Middle Ages and where industry is just beginning to emerge.
The order created by Castel is like a lone lamp in the long night, bringing the last ray of light to the world.
Those who don't know Castres fear it, those who come to Castres praise it, and those who built this miraculous city with their own hands are willing to sacrifice everything for it.
This is the country they built with their own hands, carrying too many expectations and dreams.
The flame emblem hanging high on the Castel Cathedral has long been the faith of countless people.
Castel, fire and light in the storm, its name is the best mobilization.
And without even knowing it, Zeus had already been quietly praised by people.
Everything is changing quietly.
Alexei left Blood Harbor and felt relieved after knowing that the rear was stable. The North was now developing rapidly and he had a lot of work to do.
With him were a group of priests from the Church of Silence led by Helena.
Hughes promised them that they could settle down in Castel, but these stubborn northerners still yearned for their hometown.
The white fog is now receding rapidly, and Little Gwen's control over the White Disaster is getting stronger and stronger. The people of the Bone Crow will soon be able to see their homeland again.
Although there is probably only ruins there.
Everything was destroyed by the White Disaster, and the White Crow Principality has been repeating the cycle of rebuilding civilization on the ruins.
The White Crow people have always been like this, and the believers of the Silent Temple are like the rocks that support the temple: rough, silent, cold and hard but reliable.
The rise and fall of civilization, the cycle of which is people's life.
Nora also went north.
She once raised her voice to complain to Igna, angry that the temple had not changed in a thousand years. However, during the reconstruction of the temple this time, she did not say much, but just followed in silence.
She seemed to realize something. Simple words were meaningless and everything had to be changed with her own hands.
Although now she has no hands.
Nora brought a lot of books with her. She also grew a lot during this time and passed the exam on mechanical principles.
Although I only passed the theoretical exam, the practical application is still difficult if I only have my brain.
Hughes generously packed up all the basic technical books and gave them away as a gift, and promised to provide some support for the reconstruction of White Crow.
This was an extremely valuable gift, and even the Temple of Silence was a little surprised.
No one knows the weight of knowledge better than the Church.
"Knowledge should be valuable, not expensive," was the response of Theus when Patriarch Ignatius brought it up.
The patriarch, who was always silent, did not say much, but solemnly wrote this sentence in the book he carried with him.
He filled many volumes of this kind at Castres.
Nothing seems to have changed much, yet everything is subtly different.
People in Blood Harbor, Castel, and even the North, the Duchy of Tis, and the entire Castel Alliance began to build their homes with greater enthusiasm.
War, everyone on this land has experienced countless wars, big and small, and there has never been a moment of peace on the continent.
But this time, people no longer just felt pain and numbness in the face of war. For the first time, they began to feel empathy, and a certain concept entered everyone's heart for the first time.
Sense of identity.
Castel no longer seemed to be an island, and Blood Harbor was no longer a city. People began to spontaneously identify with a certain concept, regardless of race or identity.
When everyone spontaneously strives for an ideal, the combined power can no longer be stopped.
Hughes himself did not realize that this war brought the entire Castel Alliance together.
More and more people regard this place as their home from the bottom of their hearts, and Castel has never abandoned anyone.
Now, someone wants to destroy the home they have worked so hard to obtain.
