Chapter 1380: Pardon
"You want a pardon?"
The Speaker, who is extremely sensitive to politics and power, suddenly figured out what the other side seemed to want from him.
You must know that as the leader of the highest authority of the entire civilization, he has many privileges that ordinary Darents cannot reach in their lifetime, among which pardon is the most basic and also the easiest to obtain.
Even he himself does not remember how many pardon declarations he has signed since he took office.
But the problem is that there has never been a single culprit who has been pardoned for wanton killing and destruction on the home planet.
If he really handed over this pardon statement, he would immediately become the object of hostility and hatred of countless people, and he would basically be able to bid farewell to the political arena.
"That's right! I need a pardon statement to make sure they don't go to extremes at the last minute. Without thinking, the leader of the Shadow Guard replied in the affirmative.
Obviously, it is impossible for him not to know the stakes involved in this pardon, but he just wants to embarrass the other party and let the high-ranking speaker taste what pain and helplessness are.
Like all those who have been suppressed and treated unfairly for so long, every member of the Shadow Guard has a great deal of anger and resentment in their hearts.
The reason why they have shown it before is not that they have no temper, but that they have not yet found a channel to vent.
But now, with the Expeditionary Force losing again and again, these fellows can no longer hold back their restless hearts, eager to return to the center of power and seize what has been lost.
This kind of strong emotion and ambition can be clearly felt by every Darrant senior executive present.
But for some reason, each of them subconsciously ignored this.
Including opposition parliamentarians and expeditionary force commanders, without exception, they ignored the members of the Shadow Guard who were constantly in contact with the low-level fighters and spellcasters during this time, and allowed these guys to expand their influence.
Right now, the name of the Shadow Guard, which should have been full of obscurity, is already known to most people.
Some relatively young guys even began to worship this group of "heroes" who had great strength and turned the tide several times.
Looking at the ambition that flashed in the other's eyes, the speaker took a deep breath and asked in a serious tone, "Are you sure that with a pardon, you can bring the two boys back unharmed?"
"Of course!" the leader of the Shadow Guard nodded carefully. "On top of that, I need a little cooperation from the expeditionary force to lure them out of the depths of the ground. ”
But the ugly thing to say is that if you don't fulfill your promise, then what I promised before will not exist. As he spoke, the Speaker pulled out a blank black slate, entered some information into it as quickly as he could, and finally attached his own personal magic mark.
In this way, a legally binding pardon statement is produced.
Now, whoever enters their name into it, no matter how unforgivable the crime committed, does not have to worry about being hunted down and tried.
"Thank you very much! I swear it won't be long before you'll see those two naughty little ones again. The leader of the Shadow Guard bent down and bowed slightly, his tone hinting playful.
When he turned to leave, a councillor who had been silent all along, suddenly asked: "I don't understand! Why did you accede to his request? In particular, the power they have at their disposal must be strictly limited to two digits, otherwise it will ......"
"That's enough! I know what I'm doing. ”
Before the other party could finish speaking, the speaker interrupted rudely.
At the beginning of the founding of the council, the main reason was that it had just experienced a terrible war, a war between the theocracy and mortals, so limiting the divine power, limiting the power that is deep in our souls, naturally became the most important thing.
But now, with the growing power of magic, we've shed the shadows of yesteryear, and we've invented countless spells and weapons that can kill the gods, so there's no need to keep holding on to those rigid rules.
What's more, the reason why the Shadow Guards are united now is not because of too few of them.
Think about it, when their membership expands to three, four, or five figures, and everyone obediently obeys one person's orders?
No!
Of course not!
They will split!
will have a wide variety of ideas and factions, as we do now.
At that point, the Council will be able to infiltrate the Shadow Guard and truly turn it into a sharp weapon to use against our enemies. ”
"What do you mean...... Allowing them to expand the number and influence of the Shadow Guard?" the councilor's eyes widened as if he had heard something shocking.
From the moment those two boys appeared, our civilization ushered in new opportunities and challenges. I know that some of you are against me, hoping that I will taste the bitter fruits of defeat and then hand over the rights in my hands. But have you ever wondered if the person who went to take me is capable of making the right judgment in such a complicated situation?" the speaker swept his sharp eyes over those who had either disdainful or indifferent expressions on their faces.
Interestingly, for some reason, these people remained silent, neither expressing their opinions nor making fierce rebuttals.
They seem to have decided that no matter what the Speaker does, they will inevitably fail in the end.
Instead of wasting energy arguing and arguing now, it is better to wait patiently for the outcome and then clean up the mess.
......
At the same time, the leader of the Shadow Guard, who had received the pardon, had now returned to the deep underground tens of thousands of kilometers away from the expeditionary camp, and said in a cold voice to several expectant companions: "Rejoice, my brothers and sisters.
The idiots in the council have finally put this in my hands.
Now, all you have to do is follow the plan and spread the news to the ears of every member of the expeditionary force.
I'll see how long he can hold on to power without the support of the people.
When he is gone, and Parliament is in chaos and in a struggle for power, that will be the day we return to the center of power.
Thousands of years of anger! repression! silence!
It will erupt like a volcano in the near future!
It will turn out that we are the leaders who can carry the glory and responsibility to lead the whole race forward. ”
