Chapter 623: Ironic Fate

Translator: iathering of those ere related by blood, while a country was a gathering of countless families who all had the same roots These faether as a country… This was the inal world However, this vieouldn’t be so appropriate for the world of Eich

Eich’s environerous in comparison to the relatively peaceful Earth There were all sorts of dangerouswith the hostility of other species Even the hly difficult

Back on Earth, the countries were typically gatherings of those who had the same ethnicity, nationality, culture, and so on However, that was too extravagant to hope for in Eich Although the humans of Eich also had countless different tribes, nationalities, and differences, all other species and Gods viewed them all as humans

The reason? There was only one Life was difficult Tea up to protect each other was primary priority There was no tiories If humans had to deal with an alien invasion for several hundred years back on Earth, it was likely that racial discrimination and so on would be ainst a reater common threat

With such an environment, Eich’s countries and human society were foundationally different from those on Earth

“The ill serve and worshi+p the strong, while the strong will protect the weak”

This was a very simplistic symbiotic relationshi+p that served as the foundation of hu as it would ain reputation and status, and when so on responsibility to protect the weak

So, with such a social structure, feudal lords became the mainstay of Eich’s human society, and from a certain standpoint, this was indeed the most appropriate social structure for this world The local do local military commanders who had to protect their own citizens!

What, did you think that I would try and set up coinally from China? Or that I would try and establish capitaliset rid of the feudal syste everyone? Was I supposed to count on the ordinary coic or h status as rulers or royalty due to their bloodlines These individuals would be taughtfamily, country, and people from the start This wasn’t due to any sense of nobility or justice This was simply societal pressure due to the environic and ap between the weak and the strong Professional warriors would have different jobs frohts and nobles systeinal world of Earth, in primitive society when life was extre more than the military leaders of their tribes or people, such as Chinese King Wen or E Arthur, and so on All of them were known for theireras of peace and extravagance that followed afterwards caused their descendants to beco their ancestors’ acco their true duty

But even despite all this, whether it be the dark Middle Ages of Europe or the chaotic Warring States Period of China, doht for themselves and their people’s future

The land of Eich had a much more severe situation coance that could be enjoyed here, but there had never been a long period of peace in Eich The Holy War, other species, ical beasts, and so on would forever be threats to all humans and their countries

Perhaps the current huant lives Perhaps the Superior Elves were concentrating les Perhaps the beastmen tribe leaders had already returned to a pri as any of them had their lands invaded, they would still need to pick up their weapons and lead their people in defending their homes

In Eich, the nobles were allowed to be foolish, greedy, ignorant, or arrogant However, no noble would ever allowed to be useless or cowardly

If a threat appeared, and the domain lord abandoned his own domain to escape, not only would he lose his domain and noble title, everyone would look down on him… And this “everyone” would include even the lowest commoner farmer down to criminals scheduled to be executed

Perhaps the countries in the central portion of Eich had already relaxed their guard due to being at peace for a relatively long period of tihts had indeed become fallen and corrupt In this area, the short-lived humans indeed couldn’t compare to the elves However, for someone like myself born in the Northlands, the responsibility upon ht before my eyes

Ever since birth, the threat of the Northlands beastmen and the cruel natural environment had constantly reminded me that this was no peaceful planet like Earth This was Eich, where anyone and any species could die at any doiven to , we had to accept knight training and hts was our sword instructor, and the royal instructor Kelly didn’t teach us etiquette, but rather political and e

It wasn’t only o onto the battlefield before we even reached adult age Countless domain lords’ successors had the same experience as us In fact, so this type of law of the jungle to select the best successor

“The domain and the citizens are forever the foundation of a doive you resources in order for you to protect them”

“The land and the citizens are the foundation for any ruler…”

“The tribe’s territory and people are forever the foundation for any tribe leader…”

Countless other similar phrases existed out there No matter if you were an ordinary town h up above, you would still have a contract to protect your foundation This was the most basic sense of trust that people had in each other in this world which was so dangerous

A high status not only represented power, it also represented the responsibility to protect The glory of the ancestors wasn’t only for show It was so that had to be upheld

I didn’t know if the Gold Elves had a similar education to the human nobles or not Still, I had never found any differences before in this area—no matter the species

“Harloys, what do you think of everything? Do you still hate the Elven Gods? Do you wish to destroy the entire elf species? Or do you want to bring a renaissance to the elf species, and revive the entire Elven Empire?”

This was quite an underhanded and cruel question That was because not only was I spreading salt on her wound, I was forcing her to choose froht from the start

As the last descendant of the Gold Elves, although Harloys had only been a princess rather than a ruler herself, she still carried the responsibility of the ee-filled undead, at this tie, kill all the elves!” or soain I highly doubted that she had never considered her responsibility as the only living Gold Elf However, every tiht of “will they accept an ancient artifact like o” or “why think about suchdeeper
