316,

Next, let's slowly get to the main point. Cyclone spoke out the lines he had prepared in his mind one by one.

"After the demons are exterminated, will there be no evil in this world anymore?"

First, he lowered his head, then he gave a gentle laugh.

"Don't lie! It won't happen at all! After the demons are completely killed, new 'demons' will appear."

Cyclone looked at each minister.

"It won't end... You took action for the first time, and you will take action again the second time. Today, after you kill all the representatives of evil, the demons, tomorrow, you will label other races as evil!"

While no minister tried to interrupt his speech, Cyclone continued as much as possible.

"500 years ago? The horns? These are not reasons at all! Even if you have an irreconcilable hatred between you and the demons, that's your business, don't let it continue!"

Still, no one responded, but the ministers in the back row began to whisper among themselves.

"The war has ended, we won against the demons, but..."

Cyclone turned around again, looking at King Allen.

"But... if you have won, then why continue the slaughter! What's the point of killing those who don't resist!"

"Hey! How dare you!?"

Cyclone didn't know who spoke, but as King Allen slightly raised his right hand, the person also fell silent.

"Speak."

With one word, King Allen gave Cyclone the opportunity to continue speaking.

"I don't understand your hatred, and I don't understand the politics of the country, but if you want to kill people who don't plan to resist, this kind of slaughter has no meaning at all."

Cyclone and King Allen's gaze clashed once again, and it couldn't be stopped.

"Do you think that the peace built on blood is called a happy world?"

Useless, Brother Cyclone, is this your idea?

Daniel stood in the crowd, contemplating.

Too naive, too simple, this world is not as simple and ideal as you think.

In the throne room, Daniel has already had three years of experience. Some things, some ideals, can only be talked about on paper here.

The idea that demon equals evil has already deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Trying to use this as a way to break through is already a wrong choice.

Daniel looked at Cyclone's back, a man on the path of death.

This "common sense" cannot be changed in just a few words. Without decades of discussion, without tens of thousands of debates, no one will reflect on the right and wrong in it. Because it's a habit, something people have gotten used to, it won't make them think about its truth. Moreover...

"I thought you had something to say! We already know that peasants are born as peasants even if you didn't mention it!"

Baxie, the man in control of the military power, although not smart, understood what Cyclone wanted to say.

To be precise, everyone in the throne room knows what Cyclone wants to say.

However, even if they know, it doesn't change the fact.

Between good and evil, they cannot coexist.

"You're right. This slaughter won't stop. We are righteous, they are evil. Good and evil will only continue to fight each other!"

"Vice General, you're going too far with your words..."

"No!"

Brushing aside his minister's attempts to stop him, Basbasi took another step forward.

"Cyclone hero? Bah! Do you know how many of our people the demons and the Grand Vizier have killed before? Do you know how many of our knights and soldiers have been reduced because of them?!"

"So you killed their soldiers?"

Cyclone didn't look at Basbasi, he merely posed the question.

"Yes! For every one of our people they kill, we kill two of theirs! This is war! When a new 'evil' emerges, we will fight! If they come back for revenge, we will strike back. This is war! We kill their leaders, drive them away from our land!! It is the most effective way to protect our people!"

"..."

Cyclone didn't turn around; he closed his eyes and smiled gently.

"Hey, brat! What are you laughing at?!"
