Pillar of Yita

Chapter 175: The Weight of Decision (Part 4)


Because for the resistance against bullying and arrogance, those individual Free Summoners chose to stand together at that moment. It was a movement that needed no organization, simply because the understanding of justice in people's hearts and the longing for universal values are always shared.

Fang Hong felt a bit stirred in his heart.

Indeed, that was everything he yearned for.

But Yugudola sighed:

"Yet the passion of the Summoners can't last long; after all, each of us has our own life. Once the wave of opposition passes, everything soon returns to silence. People are always forgetful, leading history to repeat itself time and again. Perhaps in the not-too-distant future, there might be a third Mount Holy Pact event, a fourth one. But does it matter, Ade, have you ever thought about—whatever allows the 'Descendants of Flor' to remain unfazed, even growing more severe with time, making them brazenly bully others, arrogance and coldness, disregarding everything people cherish?"

"That's because, compared to individual power, the Guild Alliance is still too powerful. Even if Rose Cross Army might maintain neutrality, it wouldn't side with Free Adventurers. Probably only Silver Weslan might consider what justice really is more often. Examples like the Mount Holy Pact event are far too few."

Fang Hong thought for a moment, answering thus.

"Precisely," Red Leaf also replied: "Behind the Grand Guild stands a capital alliance that spans across several regions and countries; even the Super Competitive League serves them, the voice of the Free Summoners is often much too weak."

Gita heard this and couldn't help but ask: "Then why don't the Free Summoners unite together?"

"Isn't that exactly what Tabopolis is?" Red Leaf retorted.

Gita opened his mouth, the gaze behind his glasses bright and clear.

Fang Hong also sighed inwardly.

If it were earlier, he might have asked the same question as Gita.

But now he wouldn't. Ambassador Liao had made it very clear; changing the rules of the game is hard, the essence of Super Competitive is a zero-sum game, within this framework, even if China stands in opposition, what significance does it hold?

Even if leaving in anger? It would only isolate oneself in the forest of the world; or turning back the wheel of history, returning to the state of the law of the jungle? But the war before the era of the Summoners long ago showed people that this road is still unfeasible.

It's not the optimal solution, but it's a state everyone can accept right now.

And within the framework of the Super Competitive League, if the China Competition Region wants to compete with other regions, it must rely on those clubs and Guild alliances.

It can be predicted that after changing a batch of officials, the Super Competitive League will still return. And this time will not be too long, since currently, it's not just the league that's halted, but also over a hundred large and small top domestic guilds and clubs.

Now it is precisely the Super Competitive League that cannot tolerate the existence of the Free Guild. Integrating domestic Super Competitive resources sounds nice, but even the Free Guild is affected, let alone a broad Free Summoners' Alliance?

Will the military help them?

The military might, but the help they can provide is extremely limited, just like their intervention during the Mount Holy Pact event, which only preserved those few players at the center of the vortex.

He suddenly understood a bit of Yugudola and others' feelings. Everything they had been insisting on all along, dissipated in smoke and ashes in the face of strong external forces, how tragic is that?

But Yugudola seemed not too disheartened: "Actually, what Gita said isn't without reason."

Fang Hong looked at her with some surprise.

She then said: "Ade, have you ever thought about that the Free Summoners could also form a power? This power doesn't even need to voice out like during the first and second Mount Holy Pact events, and merely by being silent, it is enough to tie the hands of the Guild Alliance, making them cautious."

"You mean a broad alliance among Free Summoners? But the Super Competitive League will not remain indifferent, even though they are facing some troubles now, eventually they will return."

Yugudola just smiled:

"This is exactly my intention for doing this."

"Tabopolis may be scattered, but we are still Tabopolis. A broad Free Front doesn't necessarily have to be in the form of a guild or alliance. The Super Competitive League cannot constrain us, and as long as we ensure a unified voice during critical moments, then it possesses potential power—"

Fang Hong was greatly shocked, a bold idea spun into form in his mind. "Wait, but how can this be achieved?"

"It's simple, Tabopolis won't be an isolated case, Ade, you aren't either. Could it be that only you, me, Red Leaf, and the Chairman cherish the glory of the Pioneer? No, I believe many people's ideals still exist."

She spoke word by word: "However, it needs a catalyst to ignite them."

Fang Hong was deeply shaken: "Ignite...?"

Yugudola nodded: "Just like the Sea Witch, like that catalyst during the first Mount Holy Pact event, people need a symbol that can unite them together, but such a symbol Tabopolis can't give—because our force is still too weak. Even a colossal entity like East Commonwealth can't do it, because it is large but improper, long forgetting the pioneers' ideals, merely flaunting the name of the First Guild of Free Summoners."
