Will of chaos

Chapter 748 Cap 746: War At The Bottom Of The Ocean

During the night I was on the roof of the house looking at the starry sky while trying to calm down.

During the fishfolk training, I was able to occupy my mind with their treatment, but after we got home and saw Irius and Lilith's injuries I was irritated again by the inability to resolve the situation with the people of the Temple of the Law of a satisfactory way.

"Are you still thinking about the Temple of the Law?" (Érica)

"No, I kind of feel like starting to punch them, but I'm thinking of something else." (I)

"About the refugees?" (Érica)

"I had never seen Mermaids and Tritons, at least not in person, even in the books I read in Valen City, they were only mentioned briefly." (I)

"But in my ancient world Mermaids were creatures of myth and legend, the Pop culture used them in many things after that, but mostly they were portrayed as if Mermaids were beautiful, intelligent, graceful, delicate, and in some cases even mischievous. " (I)

"But what I saw today was pain, sadness, despair, and death." (I)

"This is a war, you should already know that, we always find wars, I'm sure we must have seen more wars in these 2 years than most Adventurers." (Érica)

"But the reason for this war is so stupid." (I)

----------

As I was treating many people who had minor injuries, I heard many people vent now that they had found a safe place.

Some of them started to talk about what happened and where they came from to understand what happened, but many surrendered to despair talking about the death of their friends and families, there were also those who talked to themselves about the things they would have done differently or about the hate they feel.

I asked everyone to listen to people talking, so we were able to compile more or less what happened.

It seems like a war started over 5 years ago but it was just a few skirmish battles, one of the surviving soldiers said it was the nations testing each other's strengths.

One of these nations was much older than the other, it was a peaceful place with many resources, but one day a monster that spread poison appeared, it was a powerful monster and it took a lot of effort to defeat it, but its poison remained for many years, because of that the weaker monsters and fish moved far away from the city, in addition, the poison still affected the weakest people in the city, with time food became scarce and other resources too.

In this kind of environment everyone was desperate not knowing what they could do, so a fight in the Royal family of the time started, it was about the two queens, one was from the Tristan people, and the other from the Mermaid people.

The two queens' quarrel became worse and worse until it started to spread among the people of the Realm who took sides, with time pointless accusations started to be made like blaming each other for lack of food or poison.

Soon the outnumbered Sirens were expelled from the nation, they teamed up with other surface people and created their own nation on an island before returning to the bottom of the sea decades later.

After decades the two races began to have prejudice against each other, this mainly derived from their older people who still remembered the horrors that happened.

This prejudice became a reason for competition between the two nations, this competition only made things worse over the centuries until it broke out in the war a few years ago that started with small skirmishes.

As time went by the war got worse, from last year the focus of the two Jacobs was just the war, they no longer treated each other like two nations at war, they could only see an enemy that had to be conquered or eliminated.

But with this war, there were people who realized how stupid this was all, as the governments of the two nations attacked each other, the people of the two nations suffering from the repercussions of the war began to understand each other.

It seems that in the last few months serious attacks were made on the capitals of the two Kingdoms under the Ocean, not being able to live like that anymore, many people from both nations left looking to live somewhere else, but there were people in both nations who called them traitors.

In addition, they had a lot of problems along the way, it seems that the storms were even worse inside the ocean, there were also a lot of monsters and that's why many died.

But these people managed to get here where they were rescued.

---------

"These people were hungry for days, they were eating while crying was..." (I)

Sigh

"War probably won't lead to anything, a war that started only out of hatred won't end so easily." (Érica)

"I feel sorry for the refugees, but I don't plan on getting more involved in this matter." (I)

"Nor should I, but I have something to ask." (Érica)

Érica lays next to me hugging me affectionately.

"Would it be about leaving the island?" (I)

"Me and Vanessa took a look at the notebook with information about the island." (Érica)

"There are still other religions that could be a problem, not to mention there seems to be a hidden city on the other side of the island just for Demonic Religions." (Érica)

"That's exactly why I want to stay here a little longer, this is a relatively safe place for us to get to know other religions better." (I)

"Better to do it in a place like this than to be attacked suddenly during our travels." (I)

? I took the opportunity earlier today while caring for the refugees to ask Alvin about something, I asked him if I could leave my Dungeon open and the thousands of Dungeon people out to stay around town.

To my surprise he said that I could, but I would have to take care of his accommodations myself, that wasn't a problem as I could get everyone back to the dungeon overnight with curfew.

So after we got back to the house I left the Dungeon entrance open in the basement, I told Irina, Irius, Vanessa, and Ivan to explain the island rules to the Dungeon residents, I also spoke to explain the rules I created including the touch of to recall.
