He looked at Ging. If it wasn't for Gon disrupting Ging's thinking, he should have noticed this sooner. But Loki didn't plan to remind him.
He looked at Ging.
If it wasn't for Gon disrupting Ging's thinking, he should have noticed this sooner.
But Loki didn't plan to remind him.
Because the act of sending so many Hunter Association members to their deaths was undoubtedly targeting the Hunter Association.
It wasn't Loki's concern.
Whether this matter would affect Loki's mission was Loki's primary concern.
From that perspective...
These idiots coming to die was actually a good thing.
Because they could attract the Chimera Ants' attention.
The appearance of hundreds of human Nen users would attract the Royal Guards' attention, but with the strength of these idiots, they posed no threat to the King.
To the Royal Guards, these assembled Hunter Association members were like a flock of sheep gathering together, trying to provoke a hungry wolf.
They were just food being delivered to their mouths.
Would wolves be afraid of sheep? Even if there were many sheep.
Sheep were sheep.
Wolves were wolves.
They would attract attention, but they wouldn't pose a threat to the King.
With them around, Loki could actually create opportunities.
In any case, even in the worst-case scenario, they wouldn't disrupt Loki's mission.
Thinking this way, Loki looked at Ging. "Do you want me to be honest?"
Loki smiled. "Since we can't stop them, then let them serve some purpose!"
Ging, Morel, Knov, and the others were silent for a moment.
Suddenly, Morel looked up at Loki. "You're planning to let these people go to their deaths?"
Ging and Knov's expressions darkened.
Gon and Killua hadn't been paying much attention, but hearing Morel's words, they looked up at Loki.
The others also fell silent, intending to listen to what Loki had to say.
Loki looked at Morel calmly.
"I'm not sending them to their deaths. It's their own decision, isn't it?"
"Even if those idiots ignore the Association's orders and come to cause trouble, we can't just sit back and do nothing!" Morel said righteously.
Loki smiled.
"Then what do you want to do? Can you stop them?"
When a group of people firmly believed in a certain conviction and goal, they wouldn't turn back unless they were in a desperate situation.
Morel wasn't good at persuading people. Of course, he couldn't stop those people.
But even so, Morel didn't agree to let those people go to their deaths in vain.
Although Loki hadn't said his plan, his meaning was undoubtedly to ignore them.
Morel said righteously, "Even if we can't stop them, we can't just sit back and watch them go to their deaths."
"Then we should start the operation early and attack the palace?"
Loki said, laughing. "According to Koruto's information, the Royal Guards are constantly by the King's side. I don't care. We can start the operation now if you want!"
Starting the operation now would undoubtedly have the highest chance of failure.
Once they failed...
The consequences would be far too severe.
First, the Association would bear all the responsibility.
Second, since the Hunter Association couldn't eliminate the Chimera Ants, then in order to eliminate this dangerous species...
Nuclear weapons would have to be used.
They couldn't be allowed to continue to endanger other countries.
The government would issue the order for a nuclear attack, but the Association would bear the consequences.
All the deaths would be blamed on the Hunter Association.
The Association being controlled by the government would be the least of their problems.
In a serious situation, the Hunter Association would become history.
And they would bear the blame for killing millions of people.
Even if it only harmed the tens of thousands of ordinary people gathered in front of the palace, those tens of thousands of lives would cause a storm of public opinion.
Morel was silent.
But his eyes still held a stubborn look.
This was another test of humanity.
The lives of hundreds of people versus the lives of tens of thousands of people, or even more.
Which to choose?! There was never a right answer to such a choice.
Even if it was just a choice between one person and millions of lives...
No matter what they chose, they would be murderers! Silence! There was only silence.
Morel, Knov, Knuckle, Shoot, Palm, Ging, Gon, Killua, Razor, Pakunoda, Baise... no one spoke.
They all chose silence.
However, in Loki's opinion, their silence meant that they had already made their choice in their hearts.
They just didn't want to face reality.
Loki smiled and returned to the treetop, closing his eyes to rest.
After Loki settled down, he said calmly.
"You decide. Whenever you want to move, I'm ready."
There was only one day left until the ten days given by the government.
In one day, the Hunters gathered at the East Gorteau border could reach Peking in perhaps just half a day.
They weren't ordinary people. Their speed wouldn't be too slow.
.....
While Ging and the others didn't know what to do, the people who had gathered at the border wouldn't give them much time to come up with a plan.
Led by Chris...
434 Nen users had gathered.
More than a hundred were professional Hunters.
There were also about fifty Nen users who hadn't obtained a Hunter License.
The extra two hundred people were neither Hunters nor Nen users.
But they believed they were strong.
For various reasons, they hadn't taken the Hunter Exam.
Some didn't even know about Nen.
Chris and the Nen users naturally accepted this group of people.
Because these ordinary people could be used as mine sweepers.
In short, they were cannon fodder.
They could be sent up to die first if they encountered an enemy.
If they could force the enemy to use Nen, that would be even better.
Regarding this approach...
The Fourth of the Hunter's Creed clearly stated that a Hunter must not treat a fellow Hunter as prey, but Hunters who committed heinous crimes were not protected by this rule.
In other words, the Hunter Association basically didn't care what professional Hunters did to ordinary people who weren't Hunters.
As long as they didn't kill them directly.
The mighty extermination army, which consisted of more than 180 Nen users and the rest ordinary people, couldn't possibly enter East Gorteau through legitimate means.
They infiltrated secretly, entering in batches.
After entering East Gorteau's territory, they regrouped.
Chris and the strongest Nen users in this group formed the extermination team's command headquarters.
There were three of them.
One was Chris, representing the professional Hunters.
The other two were...
Rose, a 45-year-old middle-aged man who had been training in Nen for 15 years.
Although he hadn't obtained a Hunter License, his strength was close to that of a top-tier Nen user.
He was considered the strongest in the team.
He was also the representative of the non-Hunter Nen users. He had been taking on missions to hunt for rare and exotic treasures for many years.
Presumably, one of his clients was interested in the Chimera Ants, which was why he had come.
There was also a representative of the ordinary people.
Rich, a 37-year-old blond man with glasses, even wore a suit for this extermination operation.
He was a seemingly refined man with a cold and ruthless glint in his eyes.
He was the representative of the ordinary people who didn't know Nen.
He believed he could become a Hunter at any time. He had over ten years of bodyguard experience.
He had joined Chris's extermination of the Chimera Ants and capture of Loki simply out of curiosity.
He wanted to see what Loki, who had disgraced the Hunter Association, looked like.
