Chapter 2126 Special Policies
【Special Examinations for Specific Regions】This is a special policy in the Olympiad, which, as the name suggests, is a special assessment method prepared specifically for certain special regions.

The purpose of the Olympiad was to benefit the entire population, thereby discrediting the noble justification of "fighting for the people" and achieving the goal of replacing war with the Olympiad.

However, the prerequisite for this goal to be achieved is that everyone must benefit from it, and that rich and poor areas must be treated equally.

The problem lies here: impoverished areas cannot meet the basic requirements for participating in the Olympics, not because they lack candidates, but because, fundamentally, their village management is substandard.

This is a vicious cycle of contradictions: impoverished areas remain undeveloped and therefore extremely barren, which in turn deters further development, leading to even greater barrenness.

The Olympiad would be an opportunity for these villages. The participation prizes, whether used for village development or traded for other benefits, could transform the villages.

Therefore, the committee prepared special policies and special channels for impoverished villages.

Undoubtedly, this special channel has been targeted by people with ulterior motives.

Large kingdoms disdain doing something so self-degrading. Such a grand stage is meant to showcase their power; what's the point of pretending to be poor? It's just a loss of face.

But small and medium-sized kingdoms don't care about all that. First, unlike large kingdoms, they don't have vast lands to develop and strengthen their national power. Second, they really don't care about saving face.

In this context, how do these small and medium-sized kingdoms intend to increase the number of impoverished villages that can pass the review and meet the requirements?
They set their sights on the orcish regions.

"Orcish territory!? That's orcish land. Every piece of land has been precisely divided up by those clans. Aren't they provoking the orcs by adding villages to orcish territory?"

Blaze raised his voice a notch. He hadn't expected that while he was busy dealing with a lot of problems in the orc region, the humans would stab him in the back.

The reason why the orcs' territorial divisions are so precise is that they value their territory immensely. If their territory is invaded, even something as simple as catching a chicken on the other side's land will immediately trigger a war.

Humans have clashed with orcs in the past because of their different ways of dividing regions. Although this problem has not been resolved to this day, there is a tacit understanding that "ignorance is no excuse."

Since we don't understand each other's customs, let's each take a step back. As long as we don't do anything malicious that is part of our own customs, we can live in peace.

With this tacit understanding, humans could hunt in orc territory or establish public trade routes, while orcs could enter human territory to trade.

To this day, the orcs have adhered to this tacit understanding: they do not hunt in human territory, nor do they mark their territory. In return, they allow humans to enter their territory to hunt. Most human kingdoms also accept this beneficial and harmless tacit understanding. Even the Holy Cross Church, which is hostile to other races, does not refuse large amounts of food from orc territory.

Now, these small and medium-sized kingdoms are building villages in the orcish regions. On the human side, building their own structures on a piece of land is tantamount to declaring ownership of the land beneath those structures, which is an absolutely malicious act.

Once the orcs discovered it, it would lead to a war. This had lasted for more than a year, and the tacit understanding of a win-win situation would be broken.

In the worst-case scenario, the Olympic Games might even be canceled.

"What are those guys thinking?"

"If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. If the orcs start a war, they don't need to lift a finger. In terms of their stance, they are on the side of humanity." Herbie shrugged and said the reality helplessly.

"If the orcs attack their land, they will ask other kingdoms for support. If the orcs do not attack their land, they will go back or move to another place to continue building and occupying land."

"They exploited two loopholes at once: one was the tacit peace between the large kingdoms and the orc tribes, and the other was the Olympia tournament. Once the committee certified their village, the land would belong to them under the laws of the human kingdoms."

"If the orcs were to attack their villages again at this time, it would be an invasion of their own territory, and they could then request aid from other kingdoms according to the ancient covenant of mankind." The ancient covenant of mankind consists of only one simple sentence, only one simple covenant, expressing only one idea.

We are all human beings. We may have countless internal conflicts, but when facing external enemies, we are a unified whole.

Although the major kingdoms all understand that these smaller kingdoms provoked the orcs on their own initiative and will make excuses and evasive statements to avoid providing support, there is one legion that will unconditionally respond to this ancient human covenant.

That was the Holy Cross Expeditionary Force.

The army was originally established to drive out foreign enemies for humanity, and it would not hesitate to send troops to fight even if the orcs were provoked by these small and medium-sized kingdoms.

The small and medium-sized kingdoms may seem to be cleverly exploiting loopholes, but they are quite cunning, taking advantage of the ancient human covenant and the Holy Cross Church to act like foxes borrowing the tiger's power.

But this tiger actually moves.

"What a bunch of bastards," Blazer clicked his tongue.

“I’m weak, and that makes sense. I can do whatever I want because I’m weak. Such shameless behavior is not uncommon.” Herbie nudged Blazer’s hand and whispered.

"I'm sorry, I was planning to talk to you about this after your coming-of-age ceremony, and the committee is trying to figure out a solution."

"Then let's deal with it now."

"Eh?"

“Go deal with it now,” Blazer repeated.

"Hey! Are you really going?!" Herbie raised his voice.

“Can’t I? I’m a member of the committee too, I want to be there.” Blazer looked in the direction where the royals had disappeared and narrowed his eyes.

"Don't you usually leave these adult matters to me to guide, and only get involved when you need to contribute?"

"Before coming of age, one should experience the adult world and do some preparation in advance."

"Oh." Herbie's voice lowered, he sounded a little awkward, and his expression was strange.

"Um, do you really do your research beforehand for everything?"

"of course."

"Even that kind of thing requires previewing?"

"You have to preview everything! Preview the whole thing!" Blazer frowned, his expression serious. He hadn't expected that someone as meticulous as Herbie would have doubts about previewing the material.

"With experience, you won't make mistakes and suffer a humiliating defeat in the real situation."
