Chapter 410 Camp
The two followed Arrilia out of the city and found that the so-called resistance camp was actually a refugee camp composed of tents outside the city.
Along the way, Kasha met many people greeting Arella, and she would stop to respond to their salutes and bows every time.
"You have many followers, but you don't have the airs of a leader at all," Kasha said.
"I never asked them so, but they all regarded me as the leader. After the war, the number of rebels increased, but there were few familiar faces I could remember. The old rebel members had been replaced by the fanatical new soldiers, who came from far away provinces and villages, and she had never even heard of those places."
This incident did not make Arella happy, Kasha saw invisible and tremendous pressure on her shoulders.
She was completely praised by everyone to this high position, and no one cares whether she is willing to do this in her heart.
"Did they obey orders?"
“Most of them are.”
"What about the few?" Kasha asked, and Arriya fell silent again.
They came to the cemetery and saw a group of widowers, widows and orphans, placing sacrifices on the graves and mourning their dead relatives in front of the tombstones.
Kasha noticed that some of them would cast hatred eyes at Arella, which made her wonder. Did Arella kill their relatives?
"They don't seem to like you very much."
"It's not like, it's the fact that you see it." Arrelia said: "The Battle of Standalone was the first time that the Ionians rose up to resist the powerful enemy Noxus, and I was the one who rushed to the front line at that time."
A gentle elegy came, an old woman hummed in front of the grave. Arella was fascinated by the listening experience and fell into the beautiful memories of the past.
The singing stopped, Arrilia returned to reality and said dejectedly:
"Some people think that the way I fight back with force is wrong, because such actions awaken the violence in people's hearts... More people joined the rebels to fight for Ionia and died for Ionia. The Navoli Brotherhood tried to rule this land with iron fist, which was not much better than Noxus. After the war, the disputes on the land of birth never left..."
"And some of those who have lost their relatives and friends in war or riots will blame me for everything, saying that I have killed peace and regarded me as the culprit of all this. Because from the moment of counterattack with force, their homes have lost their harmonious balance forever. This is a huge price for victory."
"Damn it, don't resist and wait for the invaders to show their compassion?" Kasha was indignant at her experience.
Resistance will cause more blood and sacrifice, so resistance is wrong. If you don’t resist, you will be right to give up your home and live on the same land with your enemies? It’s really confusing.
"I don't blame them. Ionia is quite special. We have long resolved disputes in a peaceful way." Arriya pulled Kasha away from the cemetery, and saying such words here would disturb the rest of the soul.
"They are immersed in the old dreams, and you are the first to wake up." Kahn commented on the incident from the perspective of a bystander, but the incident will have different results from different angles.
"Maybe. Sometimes I also feel that I have killed peace with my own hands."
"Peace is not something you kill, it is a war initiated by the Noxus. Don't try to reconcile with Noxus in a peaceful way. This is a country that will collapse and collapse if you don't start a war."
Kasha's kindness completely relaxed Arrelia, she stopped in front of an ordinary tent and said to Kasha: "Can you talk? I hardly know much about our enemies."
"The land of Noxus is very barren, not as rich as Ionia. And they eat a lot and cannot be self-sufficient, so they can only rely on war to plunder resources and consume their population. Otherwise, famine will destroy the empire."
Kasha also had only a vague impression of Noxus, she had only been to the colonies of Noxus.
"It sounds scary, those leaders regard life as numbers."
"This is just your subjective impression. Why are the Noxus soldiers absolutely loyal to the Empire? This shows that the Empire also has something to follow."
"Is it the determination to make the country better?"
"You don't need to know, as long as you know, even if you didn't stand up at that time, another Arrelia will come forward to guide this resistance."
Kahn's words made Arella fall into deep thought again, and past experiences turned her into a person who loves to think.
Because she is already a public figure, every move will have a far-reaching impact. She must plan before acting, think twice before acting, and try not to bring more negative effects.
Seeing Arella had been parked in front of the tent for a while, Kasha pointed to the tent and asked her, "You won't live here, are you?"
When Arella nodded and confirmed, she didn't know what to say.
"Be careful, don't get caught in by the Noxus spies."
"I can protect myself." Arrelia carried the weapon behind her back into the tent and put it down, and said to the two outside: "Are you going to come in and sit?"
The two went in and sat on the reed mat, drank a few cups of tea that Arrelia made with her own hands, and some movement came from outside the house, attracting Arrelia out.
She went outside and asked a few questions, then when she came back, she picked up the cloth bag with weapons on her back, and said with a serious expression: "There are some refugees coming to the east of the camp, I have to ask what the situation is."
"Did the Noxus do it?" Kasha asked.
"I'm afraid that's the case."
"Let's go with it." Kasha said to Kahn.
The three of them walked east out of the tent and saw a group of embarrassing Ionians on the edge of the camp.
Both the elderly, weak, women and children were all there, but they didn't carry much, and they looked tired, as if they were driven out of the village.
They were surrounded by people from the camp and had close communication and inquiries. The people here were already understanding the situation and trying to help them.
"Who is the village chief among you?" Arrilia stepped forward and asked.
An old man with long braids walked up to Arrilia with the help of another man and nodded in greeting.
"I am the village chief of Keyun Village."
A weak voice came from the old man's mouth. Arriya noticed the mottled tears on his old face, and she must have had a sad experience that was hard to let go.
"Old village chief, what's wrong with you?"
