Chapter 200: The Enlightenment of the Chess Piece
When the news of the appearance of demons in the Ghost Sea came out, it immediately caused a sensation in the whole world. And just as the nations were preparing for the attack of the Hell Army, the demons did not make any movement, and did not even attack the ships sailing on the ghost sea.
As long as you don't get close to the island occupied by the demons, there has not been a single incident of the demons taking the initiative to attack. Many of the crew members who encountered the demons took photos of these terrifying creatures and sent them to the newspaper office to sell them for a good price.
Gradually, people's fear of demons faded, and they began to actively study these ultimate creatures that only existed in legends. Even though the Holy See of the Supreme Benevolence strongly opposes approaching the demons, it still can't stop some scholars and people with other motives from going to the Exile Island.
But regardless of why these demons are not aggressive, demons are extremely dangerous creatures after all, and more people believe that demons are planning some bigger conspiracy.
Brown thought so too, they didn't associate the army of hell with ancient heroes like Young Master Liang. Young Master Liang's actions tend to be orderly and kind, especially Hannah...... It's so gentle and cute. And demons belong to chaos and evil, and they are absolutely opposed to order and goodness.
Demons are allies?
This is the most incredible thing Brown has heard, and where did the enemy that Young Master Liang attaches so much importance to come from?
"Good morning, Brown......" Anne walked up from the staircase, she was dressed in the officer's uniform of the Imperial Navy, and the crisp military uniform was worn on her body to show a different taste of the Governor-General. After seeing Brown, Anne greeted him warmly, and then asked, "I've been looking for Young Master Liang for many days, and he's been very busy...... I know he comes here every day for meditation training, can I meet him? β
For some reason, Anne did not break her engagement with Brown, and she is still Brown's fiancΓ©e, continuing to play the role of a couple in the gossip news. With Anne's performance in the Imperial Navy and Brown's rise in the ranks of Salo Young's magical education, both of them have gathered a very high level of popularity.
This is positive publicity for the Empire, which is probably why Anne continued to play this role...... One.
Brown didn't want the relationship to continue, but there was nothing he could do.
"Miss Anne, it's unfortunate...... Young Master Liang had just left. He's really busy, and I don't see him except for the daily meditation class.
If you have something important, you can let me know and I'll relay it for you tomorrow. β
Anne was a little disappointed that she didn't see Young Master Liang again, and she didn't know if she should tell Brown about it. It's just that with the outbreak of the Marcellus War, the Imperial Navy has more and more combat missions, and she has not had much time to find Young Master Liang after being at sea for a long time.
After a little consideration, Anne said to Brown: "The Black Fire Company sold the Imperial Navy warships, sold the Parliamentary Army aircraft, and now the Governor's Office has purchased a batch of radars from the Black Fire Company.
Young Master Liang is manipulating this war.
Every day, there are uncountable Imperial soldiers who sacrifice their lives for the profits of the Black Fire Company.
What does Young Master Liang want to do?
He clearly ...... He can easily let one side win the war, why let the empire and Marcellus's lives be consumed like this.
Is it just to make money?
Brown, can you answer that for me? β
After the Marcellus War began, Anne immediately sensed that Master Liang was manipulating the war, and he balanced the strength of the Parliamentary Army and the Imperial Army by providing weapons.
The Blackfire Company supplied warships to the Imperial Navy, blocking the Eastern Combined Fleet.
Providing aircraft for the Parliamentarian army easily tore through the Empire's carefully constructed border defenses.
Then Young Master Liang sold the radar to the Empire, allowing the Imperial Army to attack the Parliament's fleet and stabilize the second line of defense.
Now that the war has reached the hinterland of Marcellus, there are rebels everywhere, and the Imperial army needs to detach a large number of troops to fight the fire when it needs to resist the offensive of the parliamentary army.
The development of the war situation is completely different from what Anne expected, the empire is facing a brutal war of attrition, and the truce button is in the hands of Young Master Liang. If he doesn't stop, the empire will continue to bleed in Marcellus.
Brown was also helpless about this situation, and he said to Anne, "Miss Anne...... Young Master Liang is laying out a very large chess game, and we are just an insignificant piece on this chessboard.
We don't know where we are placed or what lies ahead; I don't know when I will become an outcast and be sacrificed for the sake of the big picture. If we can't stand at that height, we can't see what Young Master Liang sees.
But I believe...... Young Master Liang manipulated the Marcellus War not for money, at least not for his main purpose.
I could feel a great catastrophe gradually descending on our heads. You haven't seen how busy Young Master Liang is, and the workload is a huge burden on his current body. Can you imagine him having a seven-year-old body and more to do than I do?
University Alliance, Black Fire Company, all documents that need to be approved by him will be approved in the shortest possible time. Not to mention how many things we don't even know......
I saw Dosophia quietly crying as she watched Young Master Liang in the meditation room, I saw Hannah cut her fingers in a reluctant way, and Black Pearl often complained that Young Master Liang hadn't eaten with her for a long time.
Ignorance is really a happiness for us, powerless to decide that we have no control over our own destiny.
Annie, the storm is approaching...... If you want to see the end of this chess game, you have to try to be a pawn that will not be abandoned. Chess pieces do not have the right to talk about human rights with chess players, and if they want to live, they must prove their worth. β
Brown's words made Anne stare at the man in front of her, and she couldn't help but sigh: "I...... I didn't ...... I didn't expect such words to come out of your mouth. I originally meant that you would stand on the side of the Empire with me, and go to Young Master Liang to ask him to support the Empire. β
Brown was a little shy by Anne's bright eyes, and he avoided Anne's gaze and smiled self-deprecatingly: "I have seen Young Master Liang more times than you, and I naturally know a little more than you, and then I have some insights."
I just hope you can see a little bit that Young Master Liang is not something we can influence now.
If you want Young Master Liang to accept our advice, you must first prove your worth. β
A smile appeared on Anne's face, and she took Brown's arm and said, "Brown, I find that I should get to know you well, and your words are full of wisdom that amazes me."
I'm going to sea tomorrow, do I have the pleasure of inviting you to stay with me for a day?
For the two of us who don't know what's ahead of us. β
