Chapter 1185 - One Beautiful Night III (2/2)
But from what she heard, Raymond was preferable and those who were loyal to him ousted the leader in a violent coup.
Since then, that normal guy become the leaders and eventually called himself the King of the United States of America.
Of course, it is not like there is no resistance. The United States was special in that almost all of their people has access to gun.
You think that would have helped them.
But when facing monsters that have thick skin like a tank a few hundred bullets from AR 15 would not help
Some places like Japan have just a few powerful monsters.
But there are some that are unlucky like Australia who is ravaged by monsters from the sky, monsters from the sea and even monster from the bottom of the Earth.,
And then there is China whose population was decimated by dragon monsters that burns, eat or freeze them to death.
United States on the other hand, while they did not have such powerful monster attacking them like it did in China, it is by no means weak monsters.
Most of the casualties of the United States happens in the first 24 hours of the Fall. Raymond was a shining beacon of hope as he pacifies the states with his generals and for a time, he was the ultimate ruler of the United States before he relinquishes power and put the United States of America under the jurisdiction of power of the World Government
And this man, this person….in the beginning was a young man who went to Comic Con one day and become one of the most influential people in the world.
Then there is Hikigaya and Oreki, the Two Twin Sages of Japan
Hikigaya and Oreki both of them were just high school senior when the Fall happens. They were basically high school kids that eventually went on to be known as the Dragon of Echigo and Tiger of Kai
To many they were like Shingen Takeda and Uesugi Kenshin as Oreki come from the area which used to be Echigo and in his earlier conquest he pacifies those areas which used to be the ruling area of the Uesugi clan and to spread his prestige some people began calling him the Dragon of Echigo
It is the same Hikigaya whose sphere of control in the beginning is around the area of Takeda Shingen territory.
In that early days, there are many warlords in Japan. When the world order crumbles, there are some sick people that rises up.
In the past, they were constrained by laws and by societal pressure. But ethics is a vague concept
And vague concept is easily abandoned. There were many warlords all over Japan that all wanted to become powerful people, wanting to have harem like some kind of reincarnated hero story.
There are some extreme people, sick people in the head that rises up. But humans, any humans with a heart, would always gravitate to light
The darker it is; the more people gravitate to light. The other warlords wanted to satisfy their desire
It did not matter whether the warlord is a man or a woman. The man rapes the woman, the woman rapes and tortures man.
It is people with sick heart and sick mind having power that brings tragedy to the world.
But Oreki in Echigo ruled the people under his protection fairly and justly. It did not mean that he did not do any wrongs but as for the people under his protection, he did not touch
In a world where one could die at any moment, at least they should die with dignity.
The same is for Hikigaya. And so, people went to them, run to them wanting to be taken under them
These two warlords then easily expand their powers and influence because of one simple thing that they did.
They treated humans...like humans.
Light shines brightest when there is a great darkness. In that warring period, people seek hope. And even a slightest light shines bright like a sun burning its lights.
Not before long, the whole island nation knew of this two people, the two prominent warlords. And as they have more people, they have more resources and the safer it is to join them.
The more resources they have, the stronger they became. There is Hikigaya and then there is Oreki.
One by one, the other warlords fell under them. They gained the hearts of the people and so they gained the world.
Such thing did not change even as the world turns fantasy-like. In the end, there is only two great powers in the island nation.
As for the other power, they would surrender and become vassals of these two great warlords.
And as they always clashed with each other without no clear victor, the title of Oreki Dragon of Echigo and Hikigaya Tiger of Kai solidified.
