Section 145 Castling of the king's chariot 8
"Yes, not in the past. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoWe don't have an effective way to fight warlocks, which is why they don't care about us. All we can do is be patient and gather strength. Ivan said. "But in the future, not necessarily. ”
"What do you mean...... You've found a way? Could it be a floating fortress?"
"Of course not. The Floating Fortress target is too big, and the Floating Fortress itself was created by the Warlocks, so it is impossible to break away from the Warlocks' control. Ivan said. "I have better, or rather, we have better. ”
"What?"
"Our leader. ”
"What leader?!" sneered. Although the one on the other side can be said to be his comrade-in-arms of the Dark Alliance Brotherhood, it seems that his brain is not quite normal. Moreover, the Brotherhood of the Dark Alliance itself is a very loose organization, made up of countless small organizations, or chapters. Each of these small organizations has its own sphere of influence, but they are not affiliated with each other. This means that although they have a wide range of influence, they do not have a very strong force. And, to put it mildly, it is this state that protects them. Because on the one hand, this organization is too weak in front of the warlocks to be worth it to condescend to deal with them, and on the other hand, the scope is too large to be eliminated in one blow, and even if a small group is hit, the entire brotherhood will not be affected too much. On the contrary, if they are a well-structured, powerful group...... It is estimated that he has been blacklisted a long time ago, and the body that has been hit has no full skin.
For example, it's like a cat catches a mouse, but a cat doesn't go out of its way to catch an ant – even though it's easy to trample an ant to death. Even if the cat really wants to catch ants one day, it will find that there are too many ants to catch.
So what Ivan said about "leader" or something, it didn't look like what a person from the Brotherhood of the Dark Alliance would say.
"Our ......," Ivan lowered his voice. "God!"
Now, Yin is basically sure that the person on the other side is completely insane, or that his mind is not very clear.
"God?" he gestured to the sky. At this time, the sky was clear, and the two moons were half the sky, one cold and the other gloomy. "You said those two?"
Warlocks worship the two moons, but they don't care what ordinary people think. Because of this, ordinary people rarely have any reverence for these two moons.
"It's not. Ivan also glanced at the two moons in the sky. "Maybe those two are gods...... Although that's exactly what the warlocks say. But what does it have to do with us, even if they are gods, when we are hurt, when we ask for help, do they give us a little attention, give us even a little help? Obviously, these two don't care about us. So what does it mean to us?"
"That'...... What do you mean by that?"
"There is a God who is meaningful to us who has come into the world. Ivan had an eerie smile on his face. "A true God who can help and ...... us Justice. ”
"Justice? Hearing this, Yin couldn't help but laugh. This is not an ordinary deliberate laughter, but a real laughter out of voice. "I've heard recently that there is a righteous god in the city of Nice...... It seems to be called the 'Blood Dagger'. Legend has it that it can bring justice to the weak...... Ha...... There are many people who worship that God. ”
"Don't you believe it?"
"Why should I believe such stupid words?" snorted coldly. "In the final analysis, Grumas was the fault of Grumas in the final analysis, right? Since Grumas is still alive and well, what reason is there to think that those who supplicated have received justice? Lord Ivan, if it weren't for the fact that you are an emissary of Lu Wu on the one hand, and a brother of the Brotherhood of the Dark Alliance on the other, I would rather spend my precious time sleeping than talking about such worthless nonsense here. In fact, I regret it now. I have a tight schedule and every bit of sleep is precious......"
His expression froze as he saw Ivan slowly pull out a few handmade symbols from his body. One of the symbols is a small knife with blood dripping from the blade upwards and downwards. The other is a piece that seems to symbolize the sun.
It is important to note that all the symbols are made of wood - in the Banshee Gate, this material can be said to be worthless. But he knew what the symbol meant.
"Blood Dagger...... It's just one of the many names of my god......," Ivan whispered. "Unlike the two moons in the sky, my god is not an illusion, but a reality. He looked at the hidden in front of him. "Of course there will be justice, and justice will come. ”
"......" Ivan didn't know what to say for a moment. He became more and more sure that the brother had gone mad.
"What a luxury justice is. The justice of the weak is often so desperate that they are willing to exchange everything they have, even their lives. Ivan sighed softly.
"Well, if you believe it, believe it. Yin felt like he was going to end the conversation. "Belief in what is personal freedom is difficult to investigate and difficult to correct. ”
As mentioned earlier, the Brotherhood of the Dark Alliance is an underground organization - it is true that the Warlocks do not care about this organization, and the officials completely ignore their existence, turning a blind eye to it. But in any case, the purpose of this organization is anti-warlock. They want to overthrow the rule of the Warlocks, and even want to eliminate the Warlocks altogether. Although this kind of future is illusory, like a horizon that can be seen but never reached, it doesn't matter if you think of this purpose as an ideal in private, but you can't take it out and declare it publicly. Otherwise, the friend who is bolder than the big man will understand why the warlock is the master of this world. Perhaps it is for this reason that after years of not being able to find a way to fight the warlocks, the Brotherhood of the Dark Alliance, which had been "temporarily lurking and waiting for the opportunity", became more and more sloppy than tight. In fact, not to mention the members of different chapters, even the members of a group, the relationship and constraints between each other are becoming smaller and smaller.
Suffice it to say, the warlocks did exactly what they did. There really isn't a need for them to waste even a little bit of energy on this self-defeating organization. Because with the passage of time, this unreliable ideal will eventually dissipate because of reality. Yes, there may be a group of people who choose to join the Dark Alliance Brotherhood (which is where most of the group's members come from) because of the calamity caused by the Warlocks, but in the end, they will come to terms with reality. Time and despair, both of which can destroy ideals.
Because in this world, there really is no power that can fight against magic.
In fraternities, the different chapters are usually equal to each other. Regardless of the fact that people from the same branch have the only obligation of a member of the Brotherhood of the Dark Alliance to "provide the necessary help" to "as many brothers as possible" from other branches. Obviously, how to interpret this "as much as possible" is entirely a person's private matter.
For example, now, although the two sides are theoretically "brothers" who should help each other, there is no need to do what Ivan said.
"If it is forced into the air, it will crash in a short time. Maybe a few minutes, maybe a few days, but this result is inevitable. "Hide decided to turn the conversation back to the real thing. "Swearing as a repairman, it's not a lie. ”
"Of course, as the same brother, I never thought you were lying. Ivan said with a smile. "But do you know that you don't know everything you know about the world? ”
"I don't think anyone in this place can beat me when it comes to repairing and maintaining the Floating Fortress. ”
"Of course, I don't doubt that. ”
"So. Yin gritted his teeth. "Because the situation is not good, is Lu Wu already determined to be desperate?"
"It's not that complicated, maybe Lu Wu just thinks that since the floating fortress can be raised, of course it can also land down again! ”
"Stupid!" Cain simply screamed. He thought that the structural damage of the floating fortress was already serious...... Can it withstand such a toss-and-forth? He can indeed get it up and down, and I admit, the odds of success are very good. But if he wanted to take it into the sky a second time, there would be nothing he could do about it even if all the repairmen in the world got together! By the second time the butt of the Floating Fortress fell to the ground, its entire structure might collapse! No! As a responsible repairman, I couldn't agree to that. ”
"Hah...... Is it as a responsible repairman, or as a member of the Evening Star family?" Ivan smiled indifferently.
"You ......" Yin's face quickly changed.
"Don't worry, I understand your position for the sake of your family. But," Ivan said. "The Evening Star family has no chance. This floating fortress could only have belonged to Grumas and Lu Wu...... As long as they can beat each other. However, it could not have fallen into the hands of the Evening Star family under any circumstances. He looked at Yin. "As for the reason, you know best. They only think of opportunism, like a thief, relying on Neiying to steal the treasure quietly. but completely forgot the necessary caution...... At this most critical moment, they didn't arrange a good manpower. ”
Actually, it should be said that Grumas broke the rules. Originally, Lu Wu's idea was to wait until the Floating Fortress was almost repaired before taking action, but it was obvious that Grumas was more decisive.
"Tonight, Lu Wu and Grumas are going to split the winners. Ivan said. "I think, no matter what, the people of the Evening Star Family won't have time to arrive tomorrow. If you choose not to let the Floating Fortress take off, then whoever wins, you will be driven away. ”
"Without me, no one can fix ......"
"Not necessarily. Ivan directly interrupted the other party. "If I'm not mistaken, you said that getting it into the air is a very simple thing. Although you are the person in charge, I don't believe that without you, your subordinates would not be able to do a simple thing. ”
Ivan looked at each other with a smile, while Yin's expression was a little hideous.
"Ah, your biggest problem is...... You really don't have enough arms to defend yourself. Ivan said. "If you're a really neutral repairman, it's true that everyone will respect you and don't dare to do anything to you. But if your true identity and position are exposed...... Do you think anyone will show mercy to your men? Lu Wu and Grumas have already engaged in an all-out battle without caring about it. ”
"What are you...... Threaten me?"
"That's right. Ivan nodded. "I'm threatening you, and I'm threatening you with facts. But given that we are brothers with the same ideals, we don't have to get to that point, even if we don't agree on small things. We can make a deal, you make the Floating Fortress go up and I'll give you something. Something that the Brotherhood of the Dark Alliance couldn't refuse. ”
"A god?" Yin sneered.
"Of course not," Ivan smiled. "That's not something you can exchange. As he spoke, he took something out of his pocket and threw it to the other party. "This is a gift from our Lord, a key that can change the world. ”
"What is this?" Cain reached out and took it, it was a piece of metal, thin and soft, and it was impossible to make out what it was made of in the night.
"Demon-resistant metal. Ivan said. "You've probably heard of it. He smiled again. "And its synthetic recipe.
