Chapter 322 Let’s unite
Howard knew that his request was excessive. These aliens had been living well on their own planet. It was humans who pushed them to the brink of extinction and stole the sacred objects they were guarding. But now Howard was still asking them to fight for humans.
But in the face of a powerful enemy, Howard must try every possible means to unite all possible forces. Only if they temporarily put aside their hatred will there be a chance of victory.
If humans and orcs are defeated, these aliens may not be able to escape unscathed.
This time Peter's silence lasted longer than any other time. The raging sandstorms around him gradually died down, and the air slowly became clear.
The quicksand vortex under Howard's hands slowly calmed down, and just when Howard thought that Peter had rejected his request, the sand surged again.
Unlike the previous vortex that seemed to be formed by something attracting something in the middle, this time, the sand was boiling like boiling water.
Finally, with a "bo" sound, one was sprayed out by the quicksand and hovered in front of Howard's eyes.
Just now in the guest room, Mei gave him a pebble-sized communicator.
At this moment, a pebble really appeared in front of Howard. The pebble was covered with blue cracks and emitted a faint fluorescence.
The stone was obviously given to Howard by Peter or one of Peter's people. Howard took the pebble and he heard Peter's voice again.
“Messiah, please call on us when you need our strength.”
After that, the quicksand completely calmed down, and Peter's voice did not appear again.
Holding the pebble given by Peter in his hand, Howard felt a mixture of emotions. But after these emotions rose and fell, what remained in his heart was something called calmness.
So he lay down on the spot, on his back on the yellow sand of Karenya, with Peter's pebble on his chest.
The addition of Peter and his race may not bring about any changes, but Howard has done everything he can.
Humans, Eldar, and Nuclear Men.
Races that were supposed to fight each other or even be hostile to each other can now unite and fight against powerful enemies together.
Howard didn't dare take all the credit for himself. The Eldar, represented by May, had been unexpectedly friendly in this matter. The humans, represented by the nun and the Governor, had sacrificed... at least they were clear about the major issues. Finally, the nuclear humans, represented by Peter, were willing to temporarily put aside their hatred.
The fundamental reason for the success of this union of three races lies in the mutual understanding among the three races. Howard is at most just a pusher and glue.
However, even if he was just a trivial pusher or glue, he at least played a positive role in this incident.
Howard felt genuinely happy to see the things he had contributed to getting better little by little.
As for the success or failure of the three-day war, screw it.
He did his best and left the rest to fate.
Except borrowing the power of a cursed demon.
He did everything he could.
So he was finally no longer in anxiety, he could finally free himself from stress and find a moment of peace.
He stretched his hands upwards, and with his index fingers and thumbs, he made a framing motion, framing a piece of the Karenya sky.
"It's so beautiful—"
In the vast sky with no obstructions, the dark clouds were surging and turbid like the sea in a storm. Occasionally, thunder exploded in the depths, and flashes of light were projected from the gaps in the dark clouds, like some kind of sea monster patrolling in the abyss.
Howard stared at this spectacular and terrifying scene, and he had an illusion that the sky and the ground were reversed at this moment, and now he was the one hanging upside down above the sky, and he could fall into the surging sea below at any time.
Howard laughed, first a smile, then the smile gradually spread across his face. He laughed loudly, more freely than ever before, raising his hands high and letting them fall naturally to both sides.
The pointy-eared lady did not break the comfort. She knelt down beside Howard. At first, her hands were placed on her knees obediently, but slowly, she lay down on her side to test Howard's reaction, and then turned to lie on her back in the yellow sand.
"Miss Mei." Howard gently stroked the long hair that fell into his fingers: "Do you think this kind of thing is normal in this universe?"
"This is a remarkable achievement," May replied, looking up at the sky like Howard. "It's no exaggeration to say it's a miracle. Disputes arise from a lack of mutual understanding. Communication can solve most problems, but no one is willing to take that step proactively."
"You are also part of the miracle." Howard said.
May accepted Howard's compliment. She responded not with words but with a smile. She knew Howard couldn't see it, but she also knew that Howard knew she was smiling.
"I hope that in the future... in this universe, things like this will no longer be miracles."
"This is an extremely difficult and dangerous road. Perhaps this is also the result that Lady Isa wants to see... I think this is also the reason why Isa chose you as her messenger..."
Then May added, "Mr. Howard, you once warned me, and I want to say something to you, too."
Howard: "Go ahead."
Mei stared at the sky. "While you have a kind heart towards some races, I hope you also have the wisdom to see their destructive power."
Howard: "I'll keep an eye on that."
Howard: "..."
Howard: “Huh—”
Howard: "..."
Howard: "Emm..."
Howard: "..."
Howard: "Um...Miss May?"
Mei: “Hmm?”
Howard: "I don't want to move tonight. I want to lie here. You don't have to look after me. I can take care of myself."
Howard: "..."
Howard: "..."
Howard: "Well, good night, Miss May."
