Chapter 597: Mary Geoise's Argument Adds Trouble
"What are you going to do next?"
In the Kronos Kingdom, Hades' gaze looked towards the Holy Land Mariejois.
The continuation of the war was a good thing for him.
After all, it was consuming the foundation of the World Government and the Marines.
However, if it continued for too long and the losses were too great, it wouldn't be beneficial for the World Government.
Even if they received more Heavenly Tribute, it would be difficult to compensate for the losses.
No matter how many ordinary Marine Soldiers were replenished, they couldn't compare to the mid-tier and high-end combat forces.
And the speed at which Pirates recovered their power was far greater than that of the Marines and the World Government.
The Marine Elite Training Camp only cultivated a few hundred people each year.
What about Pirates?
The entire Great Sea was a proving ground.
After being sifted by the great waves, constantly eliminated and advancing to the New World, there were also Pirates who had already risen in the New World.
With the outbreak of the Great Pirate Era, the Talent emerging from the Pirates would only increase.
How could the Marines compare to this?
Years of effort by the Marine Elite Training Camp would be largely destroyed.
After all, in the previous war, nearly half of the Elite Training Camp's graduates were lost.
Although the Pirate Alliance Army suffered significant losses in the previous battle, this time, more Factions were involved.
Shiki even exhibited his powerful influence, rallying many Pirates from the entire New World to replenish their ranks.
Especially the situation where the war was evenly matched, which was inherently very unfavorable to the World Government.
The Bloody Battle consumed the funds of the World Government.
Meanwhile, the Pirate Alliance Army side was supported by more than half of the New World; a large number of Underworld Forces and the Underworld provided the necessary war funds.
In front of the Pirate Alliance Army, these Factions naturally dared not refuse, if they still wanted to live.
If Hades were the World Government, facing such a situation, he would definitely not sit back and wait for death.
A draw itself was a failure for the World Government.
At this time, they should dispatch most of their remaining forces to win this war with an absolute advantage.
After all, the enemies in the New World were already on Blood War Island; why would they attack the World Government's Base Camp?
Even if they did attack, how much loss could they cause?
The only one who might make a move, Dragon, could not cause much trouble as long as a few powerful combatants were left behind.
The solution was simple, but could the World Government do it?
Eight hundred years of ingrained concepts, deeply rooted rules.
The principle that Family is Family and Government is Government.
The family foundation should naturally only be dispatched when the family is threatened or when it concerns the family's significant interests.
If the Kronos Kingdom encountered a real threat, the foundation of the Tartarus Family would naturally be dispatched.
Because the Tartarus Family and the Kronos Kingdom were one, inseparable.
But what about the Celestial Dragon Families and the World Government?
Since the establishment of the Celestial Dragon Council, and since the Five Elders took charge of the World Government.
Family and government had been completely separated.
They even restricted the Celestial Dragon Families from interfering with government departments and disrupting the government's operation.
Celestial Dragons enjoyed supreme power.
When their life was threatened, they could dispatch Marine Admirals and CP0 Agents.
However, the Celestial Dragon Families had no obligation to protect the World Government or maintain the World Government's rule.
Even if some powerful combatants were dispatched, it was for the protection of family members.
Under these circumstances, the Five Elders decided to send all God's Guard Candidates to participate in the war and gain experience through combat.
The most fundamental purpose was to make those Celestial Dragon Families dispatch powerful combatants to protect important family members.
This was the limit they could reach.
As for the deeper foundation, they were powerless, and it was even difficult to dispatch the hidden strength of their own families.
After all, they were not the family heads.
For them to make a move, the battlefield would have to be Mary Geoise.
So, the most likely to make a move were the Holy Knights and the remaining two Five Elders.
Facing the war situation in the New World, the World Government naturally wanted to dispatch as many combatants as possible to ensure a certain advantage, reduce losses, and prolong the war.
Making the Member Nations submit was the most ideal situation.
The remaining Saint Warcury and Saint Pitt were ready to participate in the war at any time, awaiting Saint Saturn's summons.
Through their secret communication with Saint Saturn, they could more clearly understand the situation on the battlefield.
Both sides were completely evenly matched, and it was difficult to see any superiority or inferiority in the short term.
After all, the battlefield was too large.
The gaze of just a few people could not see the overall war.
Moreover, they had invested most of their attention in the battle.
Being able to roughly observe the situation in their respective areas was the limit.
However, one person needed to be left behind to deal with the affected Member Nations, and one Five Elder was not enough.
In the Holy Land Mariejois, and under the Five Elders' request, they hoped that members of the Holy Knights would join the Bloody Battle, even if only a portion.
But this was rejected by the Celestial Dragon Council.
Many Celestial Dragons were accustomed to receiving the protection of the World Government and the Holy Knights.
They did not want to use their own strength and even less wished for the Holy Land Mariejois to be too empty.
This would make them feel insecure.
That arrogant attitude was deeply ingrained in their bones.
Even when facing their own kind, they were still so proud.
Of course, the attitudes of the many Celestial Dragons in the Celestial Dragon Council were not unified.
Those who supported the Five Elders were a small portion, while the majority did not support it.
Some also wanted to see the situation of the Bloody Battle.
After all, in the hearts of some Celestial Dragons, there was no concept of the World Government's interests, losses, or subsequent influence.
They only cared about what they saw.
The so-called evenly matched situation was enough for them; it hadn't reached the point where they needed to dispatch their hidden strength.
Such an attitude almost made the two Five Elders vomit blood in anger.
There were indeed too many fools among the Celestial Dragon group.
Even those who seemed normal only cared about their own interests.
Those with a broader perspective were ultimately a minority.
However, this also gave the two Five Elders hope.
They still had a chance.
As long as they could persuade some more Celestial Dragons and incite the Holy Knights members themselves to persuade their family members.
If the supporting minority became the majority, then the next proposal would inevitably pass.
Most Holy Knights members were eager to participate in the war.
After all, in Mary Geoise, there wasn't much they could do besides training.
Participating in the war could better prove their strength and wash away the shame from the past.
Give them some time, dispatching some Holy Knights members from the Holy Land to participate in the war would not be a problem.
Clearly, Hades saw the World Government's dilemma.
If nothing unexpected happened, the World Government was likely to win this war.
However, how could Hades let all of this happen so easily?
To add trouble for the World Government, he decided to do something.
"It's time for him to make a move, isn't it?
If he doesn't act now, he won't have a chance."
Hades muttered to himself, a figure appearing in his mind.
He was the one who could bring variables to this war.
Even if he only played a small role, it would be enough.
