"Our land return policy... is outdated?" Arria looked at everyone present in a daze.

She didn't understand a little.

Didn’t everyone unite at the beginning just to drive away the Noxus invaders and give those displaced people a home to go back?

Now that Noxus has not left, the war is not over, there are still so many people who are homeless, and so many compatriots enslaved by Noxus, hoping that the rebels will help them regain their land and homes...

Why did the land return policy they insisted on become outdated?

Arriya turned her attention to everyone present, hoping that these respected masters and seniors could solve her doubts.

"This..." The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became subtle.

Masters, look at me, and look at you. Although they seem to have something to say, no one has spoken for a long time.

There is nothing we can do about this.

Because the land return policy has always been within the Rebel Army in the past, a political correctness that cannot be questioned.

To trace the roots, this rebel army united from the beginning under the banner of "expelling the Nolu and restoring balance".

This so-called "restore equilibrium" means to restore the war-torn Ionia as much as possible to the pre-war peaceful and stable appearance of everything.

Under this basic spirit guidance:

The land shall be returned to the original owner;

The regime must be returned to the original local autonomous institutions;

After the war is over, property shall also be distributed to fellow citizens in the name of return;

The historical mission of the Rebel Army is just resistance, and after the Noxus left, it would not have to continue to exist.

The major sects and sects here, the landlords and powerful people, theoretically, no matter how much contribution they made during the war, how much sacrifice they made, how much land they occupied, and how many resources they controlled, they could only let go of everything after the war, return to their own homes, and return to their pre-war life.

After the matter, I left my clothes and hid my merits and fame.

The masters don’t want power or money, as long as the country is as usual, the world will be peaceful.

This sounds a bit incredible, and people outside Ionia may not be able to understand it.

But this is the original intention of the Rebels:

Restore balance, restore tradition, and return to Ionia to a social state that has been successfully operating for 10,000 years and has been proven to be able to maintain peace and balance for a long time.

It is precisely because of such a common original intention that the heroes of the Rebel Army gather here.

And because they all had such a consensus, the Rebel Army only implemented a land return policy at the beginning, returning the land they captured to the original owner for free, or as public land for free.

"So..." Arella didn't understand: "Since this policy was formulated by everyone, why should we change now?"

She blinked her pure and flawless eyes and looked at the masters and seniors present in confusion.

"Uh..." Somehow, the masters were afraid to look at her.

But the topics have been raised, and what should be said must be said.

“Because it is indeed outdated!”

Finally, in this subtle and embarrassing atmosphere, a master stood up on behalf of everyone.

Arrelia remembers him.

That was Master Ravi of the Sharma family.

Master Ravi was the first heroes who rose up, held up the flag of righteousness, and stood up to resist the Noxus Empire at the most difficult time in Ionia - much earlier than her.

When Precidian was attacked by the main enemy forces, Master Ravi was desperate to serve as the death squad leader, trying his best to restrain Svein's flank army and create precious fighter opportunities for her.

After several years of hard struggle, Master Ravi was seriously injured four times, 2 times dying, lost three sons and one daughter, and made huge sacrifices that others could not imagine.

There is no doubt that he is a hero.

It is a hero that Arriya also admires.

"Master Ravi." Arella nodded respectfully to him: "What are your teachings? Please explain them in detail."

"Master Arialia." With the encouraging and agreeing eyes of everyone present, Master Ravi finally spoke: "You should realize it too."

"Our Resistance Army's policy on land return is indeed outdated."

Why do you say so?

This has to start with this land return policy, why it worked well before and why it was not "outdated".

"In the past, Noxus always had the upper hand on the battlefield. Our rebels were reluctant to defend their bases, let alone recovering lost territory and expanding to the outside world."

In the past, the rebels could not capture much territory, so there was not much new land to be divided.

If there is no land, of course there will be no conflict over the land allocation issue.

"On the other hand, the soldiers who participated in our Resistance, including me and many of the masters here, were the Navoli people who lost their lands due to the invasion of the Noxus."

"The Resistance Army advocated returning the land and property to the original owner, and helped everyone regain their hometown and regain their homeland. When they fight, they are naturally active and enthusiastic, and are not afraid of sacrifice."

"But..."

But now the situation has changed.

As the imperial army became more and more declining, the war between Noxus and Ionia had begun to change its offense and defense.

Especially in recent months, the Noxus have begun to retreat step by step on the battlefield of Navoli and have been constantly shrinking the front line.

The large area of ​​land that was originally occupied by the enemy has now been spit out again by them.

The rebels also took this opportunity to expand and regain lost territory. In just a few months, they almost recovered most of the Navoli province.

So, the problem arises...

So much new land is returned to the original owner?

"Improve the warriors are all very disagreeing with this."

"These lands were all taken back from the enemy through blood and sweat, fighting to the death. How could they be returned to the so-called 'original owner' who did not work hard, for nothing?"

Master Ravi said it in a very obscure way.

But Arella is just young and inexperienced, and is not a fool.

Contacting Master Ravi’s previous words, she quickly realized a problem:

Why did everyone support the return of land before expansion; after expansion, everyone has opinions?

The reason is very simple:

Because before this great counterattack, the masters did not even take back their own land, so they certainly supported the land return policy.

But after this large-scale counterattack, the masters not only took back all their own land, but also snatched back large areas of land that belonged to others from the enemy.

For example, this time the Vastaya asked them for land.

In short, everyone supported the land return policy before, and wanted to grab the land back home;

Now they don't support it because they not only snatched back their own land, but also occupied other people's land.

It seems a bit unpleasant to say this.

But Master Ravi didn't think there was anything wrong with this. The only thing that was wrong was Arrelia.

"Master Arella, don't forget, we Ionia have an old saying:"

"Those who share the benefits of the world will gain the benefits of the world. Those who dominate the benefits of the world will lose the benefits of the world."

"Our Resistance Army was able to succeed on the battlefield before, because the soldiers saw the 'profit' of returning homeland and gave everyone the motivation to fight."

"And now, the 'profit' we promised has been almost fulfilled, but the enemy is still far from being wiped out."

"You let everyone follow you and the Noxus people to fight desperately, but you don't reward more land and power - how can the soldiers be motivated to fight if they are not profitable?"

"The warriors have no motivation, so how should we fight the next battle?"

Master Ravi advised earnestly.

"I..." Arella was speechless.

The master's words sounded very reasonable, and she didn't know how to refute it for a while.

But she still instinctively felt something was wrong.

"Master Ravi." Arrelia asked subconsciously: "You used to sell your property and organize the rebel army to sacrifice your life to fight the enemy with blood. Is it profitable and only have the enthusiasm?"

What a great benefit this is to make a person so active that he doesn’t even want his life?

"I..." Master Ravi's face turned red.

But he quickly calmed down and explained with a serious expression: "Master Arialia, you have to know that not everyone is the one I was."

"Is there more martyrs in the world or more profit-seeking people? Do I still remind you of this question?"

"How can you win the hearts of people by talking about justice without giving benefits if you don't satisfy the interests of the people in the world?"

"This..." Arella was stunned again.

But when she thought about it seriously, she felt something was wrong.
