Chapter 183: The Ritual of the Laws of War
"Just recently, our valiant army has marched north, and together with the Swabian family of Sauron, they have penetrated Franconia to welcome the arrival of His Majesty the Great and Venerable Emperor......"
"His Majesty generously and generously spared the captured Duke Conrad, except for the transfer of his Duchy of Swabia to Frederick of Hensingen to the House of Sauron......"
"The Wolf family has announced their unconditional surrender, and His Majesty the Emperor is on his way to Arles to accept Duke Rudolph's request to surrender. At this point, the war within the empire has been completely calmed down......"
As the Duke of Bavaria finished his speech on the balcony of Weissbach Palace, the nobles, vassals and citizens below cheered:
"The Civil War is over! Long live the Empire! Long live the Emperor! ”
This joyful news swept through the entire Duchy of Bavaria, and many wealthy merchants and citizens of Mingxing City even set up a banquet in front of their homes, warmly inviting passers-by to eat and drink for free to celebrate the end of the war.
The nobles who had fled from the south were frantically packing up and preparing to hurry back to the fiefdom they had once occupied by the wolf family. The wealthy merchants and nobles of the north, in addition to the joy of saving their lives, began to fight the idea of sacrificing the inheritance of their comrades in the war.
The rejoicing of merchants and townspeople was much more real. The end of this civil war means that they finally don't have to be drafted, taken to the battlefield, or afraid that they will die somewhere they don't know if the wolf army comes over.
Peace is so precious and sweet, and they are finally about to begin to enjoy this hard-won and precious peace.
After finishing his speech, the Duke of Bavaria turned back to his study, and the enthusiasm of the speech had disappeared from his face, replaced by a steely coldness and solemnity.
"Gather your vassals and subordinates at once." He quickly instructed his two sons, Ludwig and Henry, "Your Majesty's plan for the southern expedition may be ahead of schedule, and at the same time, there will be turmoil in the principality in the near future, and all military forces must be used to maintain law and order in the territory." ”
"So fast?" Ludwig left in a hurry, and Henry hurriedly put down the documents in his hand and asked casually, "Didn't you estimate that there would be a month before?" ”
"It's too late." The Duke of Bavaria picked up the wine bottle on the table, unbuttoned his collar and hurriedly poured it, exhaling a long breath from his chest.
"The Second Wave of Demons...... It's coming soon. He lowered his voice and said, his voice as hard as chewing steel, with a certain cold sonorous smell.
In the Fire Island, Eleanor did a simple set of warm-up movements, practicing the trinity of spear, shield, and sword for half an hour, and then continued to learn the holy sword.
Repeating the same failures as always.
The will was condensed, and white light flashed from the sword, but it seemed to be much dimmer than usual.
Eleanor didn't rush to swing her sword, just looked down at the tip of her sword.
"Dead Country...... Extermination? She stared blankly at the sword and muttered.
"What's wrong with you?" Asker's voice rang out from behind him.
Ever since yesterday's soul tortured the demigod Secret String, only to be speechless by the other party, Eleanor has been in this state of disobedience.
In Asker's words, after all, he is a young man, and his psychological quality is too poor, and he is distracted by the other party's trash talk.
There is no way, as the captain of the team, he can only come over and do some psychological counseling work.
"How's the Holy Sword doing?" He sat down on the ground.
"No change." Eleanor sat down beside him and smiled wryly, "Just like yesterday." ”
"This kind of thing can't be forced." Asker reached into the collar of his chest with his right hand, and pulled out a pistol, "Do you want a change of taste?" ”
Eleanor looked at the gun in his hand, and smiled for a while: "What, it's not enough to teach me swordsmanship, but also to teach marksmanship?" ”
"You can try." "When the time comes," said Asker, "the sword and shield crackled and slashed, and the enemy was about to breathe a sigh of relief when you suddenly drew your pistol and bang. ”
"Bao Zhun is more lethal than the Unyielding Holy Sword."
"Hmm." Eleanor looked a little moved, took the pistol from his hand, and aimed it at the sword target in front of him with one hand.
Bang!
Her grip on the gun was steady, and she was able to control the recoil of the pistol. The bullet passed through the bull's-eye, creating a deep black hole.
"Well, am I a talent for shooting?" Eleanor asked with a smile.
"Not bad." Asker commented. She certainly has the foundation as a gunslinger, and the strength and control are up to par. It's just that for professional gunslingers, it's just the basics of the basics," go back and talk to Mi'er, let the two of you form a two-gun man and fight together. ”
"Spare me." Eleanor said it really wasn't.
Neither of them spoke, just quietly looking ahead.
After a moment, Eleanor whispered, "Really...... Does the Empire really have to go south? ”
"You should ask your Emperor His Majesty." "Of course, we now know that he has been affected by some mysterious force, and it is estimated that the idea of going south to Italy and Canada is about to become his inner demon." ”
"So, yes. We don't have the ability to stop this war, at least for the time being. ”
"I know what you're trying to say later." Eleanor said quietly, supporting her upper body with her hands back, revealing her well-developed curves, "Be strong, Eleanor...... I'm so thankful that I'm always convinced by you. ”
"I'm telling the truth." Aske said seriously, "Imagine if it's the highest point of the Demon Tide and you're the strongest demigod on the continent. ”
"You can storm the Grand Palace of Aachen, pull Emperor Otto off the Iron Throne, and then pull his beard and say, 'Stop the war, or kill you in three days!' ”
Eleanor laughed and shook her head: "Your tone is very similar to that of Sidlifa, I always think that power can solve all problems, and I don't like it very much. ”
She brushed aside the golden bangs hanging down from her forehead, and her blue pupils looked into the distance again: "Why do you have to be the only one who is strong?" Is there no peaceful world where the weak can survive? ”
What a kind, girl, idealist...... Asker was speechless for a long time before he said:
"Maybe."
However, even in the world before he traveled, the international world of overall peace forcibly maintained by nuclear deterrence, local wars and conflicts have not stopped.
All wars are based on irreconcilable conflicts of interest, and the other side can only be forced to submit by violent means.
Therefore, as long as there is a conflict of interests, there will always be a breeding ground for war.
Suddenly, a certain realization came to his heart, as if it were some kind of wonderful premonition of blessing to the soul, and it flashed through his mind like lightning, leaving behind an incomparably clear knowledge:
Laws of War - Rituals:
Kill tons of enemies in war until your name is deeply remembered and hated by the enemy.
Then in the most tragic battles, be killed by the enemies who hate you.
What you kill and the enemies who kill you, all the negative emotions and the positive emotions, will pull you back from the world of death.
and condense into your own laws of war.
This ritual mission is one of the simpler of the many laws of war rituals. In the early stage, you only need to kill people like crazy, and when you kill to a certain extent, the system will prompt you to kill enough, and then rush into the enemy group and hang up.
However, Asker's first thought was not this, but why he was able to comprehend the condensation ritual of the laws of war?
Then, he suddenly realized that the invisible shackles imposed on him by the world had been loosened.
The upper limit of the Demon Tide has been raised to Lv.15 again.
