A Core Ship From The Start-Chapter 839 - 587 Target Locked

After returning to his room, Duanmu Huai immediately contacted Audrey.

"Audrey, notify Aikute to send me a Moon Class Warship."

"Huh? Mr. Knight, is it finally our turn to take action?"

Upon hearing Duanmu Huai’s orders, Ann couldn’t contain her excitement. After all... she had been watching the play unfold and was somewhat tired of it. However, Ann still obediently knew the power of the Tribunal could not be casually used, but since Duanmu Huai had started to call warships, did that mean Duanmu Huai had found the enemy?

"About that, but we’re still observing. Calling a warship is just a precaution."

"So, who is our enemy?"

"Archangel."

".........Huh???"

It must be said, upon hearing Duanmu Huai’s reply, Ann, Mary, and Lumiaire were all astonished, while Ogis continued to sit beside them expressionlessly, calmly reading her book.

"You mean... the one that appeared on the battlefield before?"

"Why them? Didn’t they say they were here to stop the war?"

"Listen well, young ladies."

Upon hearing the girls’ curious inquiries, Duanmu Huai chuckled.

"Since you work at the Tribunal, there is something I must tell you— in the Tribunal, what you should be wary of are not those lunatics who rant about destroying the world every day, but rather those so-called gentlemen who spout about morals and dangle freedom and justice in their rhetoric."

"This......Does it mean, Mr. Duanmu, that they are using this slogan as a guise and might have other motives?"

Mary curiously asked—for sure, it very much suited a writer’s line of thinking.

"That is part of it, but what’s trickier are those who truly believe in these slogans."

"I don’t understand."

Lumiaire shook her head.

"If they genuinely believe in freedom, peace, and justice, isn’t that a good thing?"

"Then, what kind of freedom, what kind of peace, and what kind of justice are we talking about?"

Duanmu Huai laughed coldly.

"Isn’t it about stopping the war? Let me tell you, I can do that."

"Huh? How do you plan to do it?"

"Simple, just blow up Earth first, then blow up PLANT, kill everyone on both sides, and then there won’t be any war, right?"

"Uh......that’s a bit too......"

"Don’t beat around the bush, just tell me if the war has been stopped or not!"

"........." freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Facing Duanmu Huai’s remark, everyone was momentarily at a loss for words.

Well, although it’s a bit extreme, in terms of results the war was indeed stopped—after all... everyone was killed, so who is left to fight?

The Army of 100,000 Ghosts?

"So you see, it’s that simple."

Duanmu Huai spread his hands.

"Kindness, justice, peace; these are all vague and unclear concepts. World peace is a good thing, but how exactly do you achieve world peace? If you fight for justice, then what is your so-called justice? These are things that no one other than the speaker understands. Sometimes, kindness itself can be the greatest evil."

Having said this, Duanmu Huai chuckled.

"Just like many times, when two countries go to war, it would have been settled once one side wins and the other loses, but then someone has to mediate, organize humanitarian relief, and insist wars shouldn’t harm civilians, among other issues, causing a war that could have ended in a month to drag on for a year. How many have died in that time? Only God knows. The longer a war, the more people die. So, what’s the point of your so-called humanitarian aid? It’s the same with Archangel; they might really believe they can stop wars, but in reality, their arrival only intensified the war, and more people died."

"Ah, I see now."

Hearing this, Ann seemed to have an epiphany, clapping her hands suddenly.

"This is why you always say the Tribunal’s goal is to guard humanity, not to be envoys of justice, right?"

"Exactly, a teachable moment."

Duanmu Huai nodded.

"Guarding humanity is a very clear objective; we only need to look at whether we have eliminated the enemies threatening humanity and whether humanity has survived to know if we have achieved our goal. Guarding, destroying, conquering... clear goals bring clear results. On the other hand, fighting for justice, for peace, for freedom—these vague objectives will only become a catalyst for prolonging wars."

Having said this, Duanmu Huai snorted.

"As for those slogans of love, peace, and justice, what good is shouting them out loud if, ultimately, it’s like driving in heavy fog, risking a fall off a cliff to your death?"

In fact, among the enemies of the Tribunal, there were no lack of "Heroes" or "Just Crusaders," just as previously mentioned, the players had once faced a rebellion on a planet, one side was a resistance influenced by the Evil God, and the other was the Church’s Holy Woman of justice. Both sides fought for their beliefs, and in the end, justice prevailed, and then the Holy Woman was tied to the stake and burned alive by the players.

The reason is simple— the Holy Woman was also a pawn of the Evil God. As long as they started fighting, the Evil God won, and it didn’t care who won afterward. As for whether the Holy Woman herself had good intentions, it was irrelevant, as the Tribunal only looked at results.
