@jespah,
What a great and very meaningful answer! Much more than I could have ever imagined! Thank you a lot!
I apologize for the lacks concerning the context (I thought that a very developped subject would get less interest or answers

)
But it is important to summaze it a little in order to make my aim more understandable: in fact, the sentences I am presently working on will be showed in a short film (as intertitles). More precisely, each one of them will preceed a filmic sequence - and I need them to be short and simple as the pictures will be more important and illustrative.
If you want, every fragment is a part of the same sentence. I didn't mention the very first one - the beggining - which is: Then... They arrived...
So the order is:
0) Then... They arrived...
ILLUSTRATION / IMAGE (fanatic soldiers arrived)
1) Giving people the benefit of....
ILLUSTRATION / IMAGE (fanatic soldiers killing believers)
2) Spreading love...
ILLUSTRATION / IMAGE (still killing etc.)
3) etc.
It is always the same subject (they, the fanatic soldiers), and I didn't want to repeat it in every intertitle. Am I clear? Do you understand what I want to do?
For the 3) : Spreading love a little roughly. You have the correct interpretation: indeed, this sentence is meant to be ironic. In fact, the text will be followed by a massacre (showing fanatic soldiers killing believers). So of course, it is not real love. In this context - and even if it must be difficult for you to apprehend it - do you think it can work? Or is the ''a little roughly" not english sounding at all?
What do you think of : ''Spreading love clumsily''? Better? At least, is the idea and formulation of ''spreading love'' correct?
4) Leaving an invaluable legacy: this text is supposed to be followed by ruins. Again, it is totally ironic (in the filmic sequence, fanatic soldiers have killed everybody, and there is nothing remaining, only rubble).
I have a last question, if you can help me: what do you think of ''working valiantly for a better world''? (I mean that people want to make the world a better place).
