The Bugle Call: Song of War - Ch. 34 - Sweet Dreams

[Knighto]

The Pope is a utilitarian in a world where EVERY other character is self centered. He actually said he wants to kill the futurists. 'Win the war, stop Ramus production, let all the Towers die of old age'. Futurists, who depend on the Towers, die in that scenario. Lucas has now come to roughly the same conclusion, but on a more aggressive timeline... because Lucas is a selfish arse who doesn't care about the quantity of strangers' suffering required for his goals.

also problem is the only one that would have make Lucas a little more sensitive towards strangers was the blood nutjob, and he already left, hopefully he's still alive

The spears targeting civilians within buildings is pretty bs though. How did they even know where they are? Also when Miura drops off the civilians in front of the shelter, the spears just stopped attacking?

It's visually implied that he has to throw a limited wave of spears, control them, then once these spears miss and lose too much velocity he has to go and toss a new wave. So the "breaks" are just the new spears making their way from where the dude was. As for the civilians indoors I guess you have to suspend your disbelief a little but they were the buildings that hadn't been evacuated yet and when you see the full view he's basically running the building through from the side, wiping out every room. So he could have done that blindly, without knowing exactly where everyone is. And Miura would have to go tire himself checking the building anyways, even if it was already empty, because he also wouldn't know.

he must has a demi-like ramus or artifact, the way he can see stuffs from so far away and through fortified wall and regular walls

...and one other thing: Lucas just got access to the futurists' arsenal. That may shorten the war considerably, at the cost of a far more dangerous world long term.
