Chapter 3388
Impossible to Save
...
Kusroy led his Dawn Legion away, far from Hrallich.
Hrallih, who remained behind, soon encountered the rapidly arriving Central Guard.
The arriving army, upon seeing Hralikh, quickly assumed a protective stance, ensuring Hralikh's safety.
Looking at the army before him, Harald quickly spotted the legion commander. Seeing that familiar face, he opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't voice his thoughts.
The army before us is very strong. As one of the direct armies of Vasudeva I, its fighting power is beyond doubt.
If this army were to intervene, the difficulties Kusroy faces would be nothing at all.
On the one hand, it was due to the special nature of their identity, and on the other hand, it was due to their formidable fighting power, which was something that the Brahmin army could not shake.
Combining the two will naturally and easily solve the current predicament faced by Kusroy.
However, the more realistic point is that Hralikh knows very well that he cannot command such an army.
The fact that the other party was able to penetrate so deeply into this area, ostensibly to protect him, suggests they must have other motives as well.
A title is always just a legitimate reason; what you really need to do is what lies hidden beneath that title.
Harallich was well aware of this, knowing that speaking up would be pointless.
If no one speaks up, everyone can live their own lives and his safety can be guaranteed.
If you speak up, you will not only be rejected, but it will also make things more awkward for both of you.
Most importantly, Harald also understands that his help can only be temporary, not permanent.
Kusroy can't rely on anyone else to truly achieve security; he can only rely on himself.
As for the salvation of the Untouchables, Hararih asked himself and realized that he couldn't do much to help.
Hararih can save a number of people with his own abilities, but the number he saves is just a drop in the ocean compared to the entire Untouchable class.
Therefore, after understanding Kusroy's thoughts and intentions, there wasn't much Hraleh could do.
In Harallih's view, there are only two ways to save this untouchable class.
One approach is to completely destroy the current Brahmanical system, the system that has been deeply rooted for hundreds of years, and start all over again.
Choosing this method requires absolute strength, and unfortunately, although Kusroy is quite strong, he is still far from having that kind of absolute strength.
Another approach is the kind of subsidy policies that Hrallih saw in the Han Empire, or rather, supportive policies that favored the common people.
Targeted subsidies, assistance, and guidance should be provided to people below a certain standard so that they can live like human beings and not suffer from hunger and cold. By including the untouchable class in the corresponding support lists, this class can naturally be lifted out of their current difficulties and predicament.
However, doing so requires strong national finances and national will.
After all, doing so would require the consent of other classes, and given the current social environment and order, if this were to be done, the Untouchables class would disappear at an extremely rapid pace.
It did not perish because it received support, but rather it perished in a physical sense.
Both methods conceived in a short period of time are things that Kusroy cannot achieve, nor can the entire Kushan Empire.
Thinking about this, Hraleh could better understand the gap between the Han Empire and the Kushan Empire, and was also more aware of the huge gap between the two countries in terms of organizational capacity and logistical strength.
If the two empires weren't so far apart, given this enormous gap, their actions would have only delayed the death of the war.
It is precisely because of the long enough distance that this gap can be further bridged, and that their efforts are not in vain.
“It takes a powerful emperor, a sound system, and a united nation to change all this…” Hraleh, deep in thought, uttered these words as he watched Kusroy recede into the distance. Amidst the puzzled gazes of those around him, he turned and left.
Unfortunately, Vasudeva I was not a strong emperor, and the system of division between the north and south was not a perfect system, let alone a united one.
...
"The Yuezhi in the north were relatively united, but the countless tribes in the south, each with their own distinct beliefs, were destined to have countless conflicts. The guy who created the Brahmanical system was indeed a genius. He used Brahma, a creator god, to achieve the unification of all pantheons, thus giving all the gods a foundation for unity under a single creator god." Guo Jia explained the unique characteristics of the Brahmanical system to everyone, even saying with a sigh, "However, it's a pity that later generations did not utilize this foundation to achieve internal unification within the Brahmanical system. You could say that Brahma was both their strength and their weakness."
“A genius of unparalleled talent laid the groundwork, but those who followed lacked the corresponding wisdom. Even if they walked on this broad road, they would eventually deviate from their goals and direction.” Fa Zheng, who had put forward this idea, thought of Chen Xi in the Han Empire at this moment, and his brows furrowed on the spot.
Following the old ways is sometimes not a good thing, but if the newcomer doesn't have enough ability, following the path of the predecessors is at least better than blindly going about it.
"We are much better off; at least we have successors," Guo Jia said with a sigh, looking at Fa Zheng's expression.
If this were in a previous era, someone as brilliant as Zhuge Liang would undoubtedly have been a pioneer, or even the founder, of that era.
However, in this era, with Chen Xi's brilliant achievements as a precedent, what Zhuge Liang could do was to inherit the existing system as perfectly as possible, and to ensure that future generations had the possibility of inheriting it.
Thinking about it this way, Guo Jia felt even more that the Brahman's death was not unjust.
The internal conflicts and problems within the Brahman community are beyond the capacity of a genius to resolve; it would probably require the intervention of a god to resolve these internal conflicts.
"What a great opportunity!" Fa Zheng said with a sigh, recalling the intelligence he had received.
The fact that Rahul, a Brahmin, relied on Champa City to establish a defensive line reveals a very clear significance.
"Our army has completed the reorganization and consolidation of the Wenga region, and has also assembled the inner-region navy to ensure logistical food supplies. Now, with Kalmanta City as the center, how about advancing further?" Guan Yu said earnestly after hearing these words. (End of this chapter)
