Volume 2 Robots, Cyborgs, Demons 0026 National War
Today's-3 is full of glory!
One of the supreme leaders of the Republic of Camilla, Duke Hallessos, the speaker of the National Assembly, is presenting one of the highest honors of the Republic - Iron Will to the vast majority of young people from the region.
It is a medal made of rubies. The base is a silver cross, and the round ruby is covered like a strong round shield. Inside the ruby, a small but delicate statue was carved out of sun alloy.
An armored soldier is covering a mother and son who have fallen to the ground with his own body, while he himself has three spears stuck in his back. In the end, the tip of the spear stopped in front of the mother and son, but the blood dripped on the mother and son.
Seeing that the silver-haired man was actually hanging the shining medals on the chests of the boys and girls, it was indeed not a three-dimensional projection, and the originally shocked crowd once again erupted in overwhelming enthusiastic cheers.
"Hello Speakerβ"
"Speaker! Speaker! Speaker ......"
"The glory of Congress will shine forever!"
"Long live democracy! Congress is immortal! β
β¦β¦
Men and women, young and old, shouted as if they were about to burst their throats.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Speaker, the Speaker, the Duke of Hallessos, and the Speaker, the Speaker, have personally come to bestow the knights! Really, really, we really didn't get any news beforehand, long live the Speaker! β
The host was also a little incoherent with excitement, and it was clear that she had not been notified beforehand.
The atmosphere of the scene reached its highest point in an instant, and the knights trembled as they accepted the highest honor bestowed upon them by the most honorable old man of the republic, and even Iman and Nastasia could not maintain their usual reserve, and their lips trembled slightly.
At this time, the only one who could maintain complete composure was Gu Lei.
Moreover, the only one with a cold expression at this time was Gu Lei.
Again:
In the world of ordinary people, there is no pie-in-the-sky good thing, and the more beautiful the illusion, the more deadly the crisis is often hidden!
At this second, when Hallesos calmly hung the medal on Gu Lei's chest, Gu Lei's sense of crisis reached its peak.
As if he was puzzled by Gu Lei's overly calm expression, there was an almost imperceptible pause in Halessos's movements.
At that moment, Gu Lei didn't know if it was an illusion, as if there was an incomparably soft but irresistible spiritual force that swept across his face in an instant, and even penetrated deep into his bones and teeth, and disappeared in a flash.
However, it must be an illusion!
Seeing Hallesos walking towards the next member of the group as usual, Gu Lei, who had just finished saluting, thought so.
He could not have noticed that a drop of blood had crept out of his skin, dispersed into an invisible mist of blood, gathered into the sleeve of Halessos' coat, and turned into a little blood-colored crystal attached to his skin.
After giving everyone the honors, Halesos turned and walked up to the slowly rising podium and made a "please be quiet" gesture to the surroundings. The Count of Germania and the unknown armored guard stood close to his sides.
The scene quickly fell silent, but there was still a palpable heat in the air. The knights straightened their bodies with their hands on their thighs, while the adults and children gathered outside also craned their necks and listened intently to the leader's speech.
And Hallessos's next long speech undoubtedly gradually confirmed Gu Lei's extremely bad premonition in his heart.
β¦β¦
"Ladies and gentlemen, although you did not protect the other students, you don't have to feel guilty at all. After all, you're still young, and you're just coming of age today. Before that, it is the responsibility of us adults to protect you. β
β¦β¦
"It's not easy for you to protect each other and get out of such a sinister Jedi. Therefore, I think you are fully worthy of the Iron Will Medal, which symbolizes protection! β
β¦β¦
At the beginning of the speech, the Duke of Hallessos first expressed his deep condolences to the students and their relatives who died on Iron Guard 1, and fully affirmed the indomitable will and heroic actions shown by everyone before they died.
Then he praised the members of the Order as survivors, and gently and carefully helped them heal the wounds in their hearts, further affirming their achievements.
This is not only to establish the glorious image of the Knights' strength and bravery, but also to establish the glorious image of the Congress caring for the people.
At this point, not only the members of the group were moved, but several girls were in tears, and even Gu Lei began to wonder if he was living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. The eyes of the audience were warm and hot.
The Duke of Hallessos, on the other hand, suddenly turned cold and began to denounce the unpardonable sins of the presidential faction.
β¦β¦
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is very unfortunate that in the face of bloody facts, we have to admit that the brave fighter who once defended the democratic republic, the once bright Lionheart president, has now completely degenerated into a first-class restorationist in Baghaus, and is extremely stupid."
β¦β¦
"In order to restore the imperial system, they did not hesitate to restart the tests of all evil weapons of mass destruction, and also reversed black and white, and shifted the blame to Congress, claiming that it was the bureaucracy and inefficiency of Congress that caused such a tragedy, which is not only extremely stupid, but also extremely shameless!"
β¦β¦
"At the same time, I am sorry, ladies and gentlemen, but Congress does have an unshirkable responsibility in this matter. Unfortunately, it was because we did not stand closely with you that we were unable to prevent this catastrophe from happening in the first place! β
β¦β¦
"I am deeply sorry for what happened to all of you, and for what happened to others who unfortunately did not return to their hometowns. And, I swear here today, and I swear with all members of Congress, that we will reflect deeply and stand with you inextricably in the future and never allow a tragedy to happen again. We will do everything in our power to bring the criminal, Salro, to justice as soon as possible. β
β¦β¦
The audience erupted in irrepressible cheers, and it took a long time for them to subside, and Halethos's face continued to turn cold and reveal a little sadness.
It was only then that his hideous plan, which made the entire presidential faction tremble, slowly revealed its full picture.
β¦β¦
"However, I have not shirked my responsibilities, and there is indeed a long way to go in this matter, and the Diet is now much worse than before. Seventeen years ago, more than 3,000 nobles who were staunchly supporters of the democratic republic were killed in the so-called 'Removal of Japan' operation, including more than 1,200 members of the National Assembly. Since then, the Supreme National Assembly has not been able to hold a meeting, and the wartime state of emergency, which has allowed the president to take sole power, has not been lifted. This keeps Congress weakening, and tragedies keep happening! β
β¦β¦
"A large number of government officials and military officers who supported the Congress were brutally baptized in blood, more than half of the country and the army fell into the clutches of Amuri, and countless people are still bewitched by the Presidential Palace, full of misunderstanding and hostility towards the Congress. The edifice of the democratic republic is about to fall, and all the people are in danger of being enslaved by the feudal monarchy again! β
β¦β¦
"But, folks, can we give in? No, have we ever succumbed? β
The Duke of Hallesos suddenly raised his fist in the air, and asked in a loud voice:
"Ladies and gentlemen, let me ask you, have we Camulans ever succumbed?"
The crowd responded to him in a flood of waves:
"Nope!" β¦β¦
"Did we succumb when the Imperials smashed our immigrant satellites?"
"Nope!" β¦β¦
"Did we succumb when the Imperials threw the meteorite at Nightvalley?"
"Nope!" β¦β¦
"When the Imperial soldiers came to Xuejing, did we succumb?"
"Nope!" β¦β¦
"Yes, we have never given in in the past, and we will never give in in the future! Anyone who wants to use the feudal monarchy to rule and enslave us, we have to pay tribute to them fiercely with armor and guns, right? β
"Yes!" β¦β¦
"At the end of the day, the power of Congress comes from the people, and the power of Congress comes from the people, so as long as we, as long as Congress and everyone are close together again, we will be invincible! Democracy is invincible! Democracy is omnipotent! β
"Yes!" β¦β¦
"Finally, I sincerely implore everyone, every strong man, every tough woman, every old man who can still fight, every young girl who wants to fight, take up your weapons, just like these noble knights in front of me, fight together, fight for democracy, for everyone's freedom!"
"Huwaβ" ......
The small venue was burning with boiling battle spirit, and the scorching sound raised the flag of the Valkyrie Knights high, and the fighters of the country and even the world were ignited!
And Gu Lei only opened and closed his mouth mechanically with the people around him, and his ears and brain were actually blank.
His spiritual power couldn't help but float up, brushing over the regimental flag that was fluttering above the venue and flying above the world, only to feel that the scarlet eyes of the immortal bird on the flag were particularly dazzling!
