Terra Martial God and Merit System

"...Forget it, let's end it." Andoin put away the envelope and walked onto the street alone. But if you look closely, you can see two shadows following closely behind him.

When we arrived at the cafe the other party requested, Liberi was already sitting there.

Andorn didn't hesitate and sat directly in front of her. "Don't you want to order anything?"

"Waiter, two glasses of iced cactus juice, please."

Fiammetta, who was in a daze, saw Andorn suddenly appear, with mixed feelings on her face. "I thought you wouldn't come."

"I actually wanted to have a good talk with you when I came here." Andoin said, "But... I have too many things to do since I came to Lateran... I'm sorry."

"Reason....Heh..." Fiammetta sneered, then breathed a sigh of relief. "Well, at least it's better than when you were in Kamsko."

"You know what? When I heard that you were the head of the delegation, I thought you came here just for us."

"....." Andorn was silent for a moment.

People are all made of flesh and blood. He also knew the pain his previous choices had brought to his teammates. This was a very realistic thing, and he had no way to escape, so he could only face it.

"What about the two of them?" He changed the subject.

"Lemuan went to work in administration, Mostima became a messenger... As for me, I haven't decided what to do yet."

Fiammetta took a sip of the drink that came up, "I often think... if you hadn't betrayed us and left... maybe we would still be a team."

"I'm sorry, but I think I made the right choice."

Hearing Andorn's answer, Fiammetta looked up at him, "Do you really think so?"

"Really." Andorn nodded.

His eyes were so real and so sure that Fiammetta felt incredible—and angry.

He doesn't regret it?! He doesn't regret it?!

Doesn't Andorn miss the time when they were still a small team?

"I miss the time when we were together. But things are bound to change." Andorn said calmly. He was so calm that Fiammetta felt puzzled.

"Do you really think we're comfortable as a team?" Andorn looked at Fiammetta.

"It's definitely not pleasant to not have empathy. Are you really not feeling any pain at all?"

"Even if our team can continue, unaffected by anything, we will always get older, right?"

"Fiammetta, you have to accept it - accept the changes in the world, accept what has happened."

"I can see that you are still dwelling on the past. Like many of Rutland's residents, you are dreaming about a dream from long ago and refuse to wake up."

"It's easy for you to say that." Fiammetta tried to suppress her emotions. "But..."

"I am your captain. I have no regrets about my choice, but I also know the impact this choice will have on you." Andorn said seriously, "I used to be your captain, and I will be your captain in the future."

"Whether it's you, Lemiaoan, or Mostima, if they're in trouble, I will help without hesitation."

"It's not my fault, it's because we are friends."

"That's why I came here....I'm really sorry for that day."

Fiammetta listened to him say this and suddenly lowered his head and rubbed his eyes.

"If you had said anything more moralistic just now, I might have blown your head off with a bullet." She whispered, "Thank you."

"It's okay." Andorn took a sip of his drink.

The development of things does not change according to the shift of human consciousness. I realize that if I want to understand the world, I must understand more scientific knowledge.

It's not just pure science, it's also emotional.

Speaking of which....he learned these high EQ answers from the "Anti-Revolutionary Department" of the Integration Movement...

Andorn and Fiammetta continued their conversation, this time just chatting. Both of them were more relaxed.

Andorn did not mention the matter of letting Fiammetta go to work at Terra United, but instead talked about the various interesting experiences he had there.

This pleasant conversation continued until the store closed.

"I forgive you, but I still think what you did was wrong." Fiammetta stood up and said, "If you want to destroy this city... I will be the first to stop you."

"I'm on the right track." Andorn didn't comment. "Look forward to my performance tomorrow."

Chapter 375 The Charm of Data

Andorn's strategy of having the Sakota and Sarkaz couple appear yesterday was successful.

The live performance at today's debate is that the number of audience here is basically twice as many as yesterday.

Most of the Sakotas are optimistic and stubborn. The fact that they were attracted to him shows that Andorn has indeed caught their attention.

"No one is coming?" Andorn had been waiting at his seat early, but after more than ten minutes, the person on the other side did not show up.

Upon inquiry, I learned that the other Lateran bishops had now declined to participate in the debate.

At least they all knew what happened yesterday, and they also knew that Andorn was not a fool. He had brains, and it would be embarrassing if he was tricked.

These bishops care most about their own face.

Moreover, if they didn't come, Andorn wouldn't be able to debate. He would just have to leave.

So they all showed their unique skills, and all kinds of strange symptoms popped up, but they just couldn't participate in the debate.

Seeing that the audience was getting agitated, Andorn let out a breath slowly.

"Do you think I can do nothing if you don't come? These guys...are so naive."

"Everyone, look here!"

Andoin waved his hand, and a staff member brought up a large blackboard.

"I know that some of you have never heard of Terra Union. Maybe you just rushed here because of some 'explosive' news." Andoen said lightly.

Following his words, many people nodded slightly, and some even shouted, "Where is the Sakota child with the Sarkaz tail?"

"You can read that later." Andoen said, "But the news I'm going to tell you next is even more explosive than this."

Obviously, humans are a relatively "lack" species. Andorn just caught this wonderful nature.

So all the audience in the audience focused their attention here.

"Very well... back to our topic. Terra United."

"I don't know what you think of the Terran Union - a country founded by a tyrant? A country that can produce delicious candies? Or a country that accepts Sarkaz?"

"Of course, we are not here to discuss this today. Let us return to the basics and look at the gap between Lateran and Terra."

"First of all, industry."

As Andorn spoke, a huge statistical chart was hung up, along with the pointer in his hand.

"Let's take a look at the industrial data of Terra Union."

Andorn actually turned the entire cathedral into his classroom. And what he taught was... the difference between Lateran and Terra.

After he analyzed the data of Terra United, he directly posted the data of Lateran.

The data in this regard in Lateran is very public, and basically any citizen of Lateran can go to the library to check it. This can be regarded as transparent and fair.

When the two data were compared, the people in the audience immediately discovered the absolutely abnormal gap between the two data.

It's simply...like an insurmountable chasm.

Andorn has always been clear about one thing, that is, 'technology must serve production, and how to combine the two is of great significance.'

The Terra Union has done a great job. All their education is for the purpose of serving production, and none of the scientific and technological knowledge they teach is useless.

Andorn went to study at the cadre school, many of which included courses on data analysis.

He learned a lot and understood the excellence of charts - they could simplify complex things and make simple things visible at a glance.

Of course, building charts requires data, and accurate data is not easy to come by.

The data from Lateran is relatively normal, but if it was compiled by the previous Ursus Empire, the data would probably be full of holes, and the charts would be completely unreasonable, losing their original meaning.

Terra and the United States established the "Statistics Bureau" to control these data from a macro perspective. Andorn agreed with this.

Andorn only spoke for a short while, and many people were moved.

The reason is very simple. Andorn analyzed these gaps clearly, including why there are gaps, how the industries of both sides operate, the production methods and processes, the final results... Tables are used in many places to compare and list the specific data of both sides, and the introduction and summary are organized.

A person's vision is limited.

Even the residents of Lateran only have a limited perspective. It is extremely difficult to see and think about problems from a national perspective.

But Andorn used this method to make everyone who listened carefully see the gap between Lateran and Terra United from a national perspective.

There was only one feeling in the hearts of all Laterans—

The Terra Union seemed to be right before our eyes, a terrifying giant with flesh and blood, indestructible!

And Lateran....it really could be destroyed at any time, and it was even at a disadvantage everywhere.

"My fellow countrymen," Andorn said slowly, "We in Lateran are actually not bad. The production system of the Terra Union is very advanced, ten or even a hundred times stronger than that of Ursus before."

"If you break down this huge amount of data and compare it with a country of the same size as us, we are actually a clear winner."

"What does this prove? It proves that we in Lateran are no worse than them, it's just because of the population and land..."

"The combination of Lateran and Terra can complement each other's strengths and weaknesses."

"Remember the data on industrial sugar production?" Andoen pointed at the chart, "If we join the Terra Union, the price of white sugar will plummet."

"Everyone knows, and I've heard a lot of complaints about it - although the candies from Terra United are beautifully packaged, the styles are not novel."

"With the large amount of sugar supplied by Terra Union, we can invent many new candy styles and then sell them to Terra Union. This back and forth is a process of learning from each other's strengths and making up for each other's weaknesses."

After this was said, many people were moved.

There are so many benefits to joining Terra United that it seems like there won't be any problems.

"What about the Sarkaz?" Someone asked this crucial question loudly, "What should we do if they force the Sarkaz in?"

After all, the data just now is very clear - Lateran is definitely no match for the Terra Union.

Even if you join, what if the other party does something bad?

"We respect the customs of Lateran. Since your customs do not allow Sarkaz to approach you, we will establish rules after we join - 'Sarkaz are not allowed to enter Lateran, or they need more than two Sakotas to guarantee them to enter.'"

"What about the infected people?" someone else asked.

Sarkaz are very sensitive to Ore sickness, so most of them have Ore sickness.

Lateran was very resistant to this infectious disease.

Although not as violent as Ursus, the infected will also be exiled.

What if the infected from the Terra Union enter the Holy City and infect them?

"This matter..." Andorn smiled slightly, "Do you really think... Terra Union doesn't have a drug to cure oripathy?"

Chapter 376: Changes in History

Lateran, Cathedral

Andorn said slowly - "Do you really think... Terra Union has no medicine to cure oripathy?"

These words caused a great commotion at the scene, and noise and uproar instantly resounded throughout the cathedral.

Everyone was talking, chatting, shocked.

Although Rutland seems to have nothing to do with oripathy, in fact, no one in this land can be completely free from this terrible disease.

Let’s not talk about the infection of Terra Union entering the city. Just talking about the daily life of the residents of Lateran...

Everyone has a guard gun.

And every time this guard gun is fired, there is a small chance of it jamming or exploding.

If the barrel explodes, the high concentration of Originium powder inside will leak out - what will be the result?

Gun holders have a high chance of being infected.

This is something that cannot be avoided at all, even though the Sakotas have established a comprehensive weapons maintenance system and even set strict maintenance intervals.

But - every year there are still a few unlucky people who are unfortunately infected with mineralogy.
