Chapter 1633: Chapter 525: Believers Embedded in Civilization (6k)_2
Moreover, even if they truly are people of the Insect Clan, or according to my guess, a hidden believer organization different from the ones opposing the current Three Great Civilizations, they would need the intelligence for personnel infiltration in advance.
With the current strength of those Insect Clans, even we can handle them with ease, so it’s absolutely impossible for them to have the power to conquer us.
And if they want to mobilize more of the Insect Swarm, the Three Great Civilizations are indiscriminately opposed to all believer organizations...
Besides, although saying this might undermine our own prestige, why target us when our civilization is so weak?
There’s simply no benefit to taking us down..."
The Minister of War shook his head; that’s also why he had just considered it a joke.
He has some understanding of the secrets of the Starry Sky, such as knowing that the believer organizations in the Starry Sky are not limited to those churches.
There are more organizations sharing the same belief, and among them, quite a few are adversaries of those churches currently besieged by the Three Great Civilizations.
But the Three Great Civilizations don’t care about the relationships between these believer organizations; they’ll eliminate them all together.
After all, when clearing out mice in one’s home, would one consider the adversarial relationships between two nests of mice that often fight each other?
One would only be annoyed by their noisy fights and choose to clear them out altogether.
Otherwise, the Starry Sky wouldn’t have just the Insect Swarm active now, without any trace of this alleged church controlling the Insect Swarm.
The Three Great Civilizations are indifferent now only because there’s just the Insect Swarm.
If believers are truly controlling the Swarm, and if the Swarm begins concentrating attacks on a specific civilization, showing signs of control by a new believer organization...
Faced with a believer organization capable of controlling such a massive Swarm, the Three Great Civilizations, already embroiled in total war due to a few churches, would definitely react.
Even the intelligence that the Minister of War has, the President naturally also knows, understanding the Minister’s thoughts.
"Perhaps you are right, but I still feel somewhat uneasy...
Mobilizing so many people to advocate the Insect Swarm cannot be aimless; there must be a purpose behind it.
After all, having infiltrated so deeply, it’s definitely premeditated, and they must be very confident about this operation.
Even if they don’t blatantly mobilize the Swarm, there might be other hidden means to threaten our ’Roes’ civilization...
As for their purpose...
Given the current stance of the Three Great Civilizations, there’s indeed no benefit in eliminating us.
Unless..."
The President suddenly considered a possibility and widened his eyes.
"What if these believers are not here to eliminate us?
If there’s truly a believer organization involved, they must have their own purpose. When was it first discovered that these people started infiltrating?"
The President suddenly turned to the War Minister and asked hastily.
"It was about half a year ago, around the same time the Three Great Civilizations began targeting major believer organizations..."
"That makes sense! It might just be a hidden believer organization, what would it do in face of such pressure?
If it doesn’t rebel like those churches, it would certainly look for a backup plan!
If they’re not looking to eliminate us but to collaborate with a civilization to hide themselves?
In this way, choosing our civilization becomes reasonable.
Compared to other civilizations, we aren’t too weak, possessing enough resources and territories suitable for development, yet not too strong to be unwieldy.
Furthermore, we are at a disadvantage in our confrontation with Carli’s civilization; we do need strength!"
Though there were some minor issues in the whole process, the final outcome inexplicably aligned with Bai Yi’s goals.
However, the President evidently wasn’t aware of this.
The President suddenly felt like he had found a truth, causing the surrounding ministers to also brighten with acknowledgment, nodding along.
This at least seems to be the most likely speculation now.
"If those Insect Swarms truly possess wisdom and the power to overthrow civilizations and have ideas of cooperation, what would you think, Mr. President?"
The young Minister from earlier suddenly asked.
The President was stunned, turned to look at this slightly young minister, sighed inwardly, thoughts racing rapidly through his mind, finally turning resolute, earnestly saying:
"If indeed true, as long as they can help us deal with Carli’s civilization and raise us to higher positions,
why not even collaborate with the church, or indeed with the Insect Clan themselves?"
Just like the Minister of War said earlier, even if unwilling to admit it, their civilization’s strength is too low, and they truly cannot resist having power as speculated.
If it eventually comes to comprehensive war, even if the eventual outcome of this Swarm or suspected controlling church is annihilation by the Three Great Civilizations, their ’Roes’ civilization would already be destroyed.
He couldn’t possibly write "Insect Swarms Fully Responsible" on his civilization’s epitaph.
In that case, it might be better to choose cooperation from the start, to secure some benefits for his civilization.
The young Minister who asked the question thoughtfully nodded, confirming the President’s stance, then asked:
"Then given that, do we still need to deal with these guys?
And what should we do about the Swarm’s attacks, allow them or not..."
"No, of course we can’t allow them.
Not to mention that the previous speculation hasn’t been confirmed yet, even if it’s true, to ensure that cooperation is not exposed, we must maintain a normal stance against the Swarm.
