Chapter 624: The Last Stage (Part I)
Uzhtanashun was wrapped around his neck by a long tentacle, and he was lifted into the air.
Some of the noblewomen of the Knard family were so frightened that they fought with their upper and lower teeth and sat down on the ground one after another.
At some point, the cold woman changed, and her face was more like a snake than a human.
At that moment, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside, and one by one the dogs rushed into the hall, forcing out the members of the Kernar family hidden in the cabinets, behind the sofas, and in the shadows of the hallway, and dragging their clothes to the courtyard.
Izsya slid its long snake tail across the ground, tentacles wrapped around Uzhtana's neck, and left the hall and into the courtyard like a dead dog.
The remaining puppies slowly moved forward, forcing Amanda and the others out of the palace step by step.
The veteran sat on the stone platform by the fountain in the center of the vestibule, he looked at the starless night sky, stunned, I don't know what he was thinking, or wondered why it got dark so quickly, obviously there was still afterglow just now, and in the blink of an eye, night fell, so fast that people were completely unprepared.
He sat there, sipping his cigar vigorously, the sparks on the cigar head shining and darkening, standing out in the silence of the night. His body seemed to melt into the night, cold and quiet.
He gave people a kind of coldness that no one should enter, but it made Uzhtanashun, Amanda and others feel a little hot, not from the temperature on the cigar head, but because he was a person, the only one in the hideous swarm, maybe ...... It is also the person who can decide their life and death.
Amanda said, "What do you want? Say it. β
Aros was silent, still looking at the night sky. The cigar was halfway burned, and the ashes were falling.
Izsha threw Uzhtanashun at the foot of the steps and regained his body. He looked coldly at the man who walked out of the hall.
They included the old men and women of the Knard family, as well as Sulbacho's henchmen, several officers, and even aristocratic teenagers of fifteen or sixteen years old.
The searchlight in the corner of the courtyard turned on, and a layer of silver frost spread over the mottled ground and buildings, including the faces of Amanda and others.
They have different youths, different experiences. Different statuses, at this moment, have the same expression - fear.
Uzhtana breathed a sigh of relief. "Lord Sulbacho will not let you go...... His Majesty will not let you go. β
He was right, Tang Fang did this to really slap Gowell in the face, but no one with a temper would tolerate such behavior, if there was no surprise. His Majesty the King will definitely declare war on the "Morning Star Cast".
Such words are a threat. It's also an encouragement.
The nobles of the Kernar family gradually straightened their waists, and looked coldly at the man who was smoking a cigar on the stone platform at the edge of the fountain, and thought that he was very bad, as if he had never smoked a cigar in eight lifetimes.
Some people even regarded the veterans as Tang Fang, because until yesterday, they had never cared about what "Morning Star Casting" was, and naturally they didn't know any Captain Tang.
Amanda? Kerry Watt straightened up and brushed the dust off his sleeve. Straighten the hair on the forehead, like a proud black swan. In a commanding voice, he said, "I can give you whatever you want, wealth?" Woman? Status? As long as you say a word, I have the ability to get it for you. β
She was begging for mercy, but she seemed to be rewarding. is obviously a prisoner, but there is a kind of arrogance of a superior.
Izsha walked up to her, staring at her slightly aged face with emotionless eyes, and said calmly, "I want your life." β
Amanda was a little surprised to see the phoenix tattoo under the collar of her military uniform, because it looked like the coat of arms of the Phoenix Empire.
This is not glory, on the contrary, shame.
They are a hallmark peculiar to Mauriceau.
Amanda wondered, could it be that this terrifying snake girl in front of her was Maurice Slave?
It turns out that she is such a, a miscellaneous. Species, the product of a test tube, an animal that is not worthy of being called a "human", is used to catharsis for humans. Tools of desire.
Your lady is proud, proud, and that comes from a natural sense of superiority...... It wasn't until he was interrupted by Izsha's sentence "I want your life" that he realized his current situation and said loudly: "You want me to die? You will pay for it, my children will lead the fleet to raze 'Dillard' and then kill you all and feed the dogs. β
Izsha smiled very rarely.
Amanda swept past the group of dogs that were growling low to the left and right, thinking that the sentence was silly.
The veteran threw away the cigar that was left with his ass and said in a deep voice, "If you mean Sulbacho, he is already on the road before you." β
As he spoke, his old face was always looking up at space at a 45-degree angle, as if he was not interested in looking at her.
Amanda took a step back, her body trembling slightly, her expression full of disbelief.
How could her son Sulbacho die? He couldn't have died! With a hybrid warship to escort him, he should have galloped through the stars and conquered the world, how could he die? She didn't believe it, not in any way.
Uzhtanashun said: "Why? Why are you doing this? β
He couldn't figure out why the Tang side wanted to meddle in the political affairs of "Aradell", killing Sulbacho would not do him any good, on the contrary, it was possible to erect such a big enemy as the United Kingdom of Turanks, which is not what a smart person should do, in his opinion, the strong can only get more lucrative benefits by uniting the strong, and forming an alliance with the weak can only be to divide their own cheese.
He knows that there is a saying in Chinese civilization, called "the right person", which is generally used to describe marriage, but it is also applicable to power relations.
People should get used to looking upwards and not bowing their heads to move forward. This is a sentence of his father's ear to face and earnestly admonishment when he was a child, so when he grew up, he always wanted to climb up, climb up, never look down, with a lot of cleverness and flattery to get to this point today, becoming a powerful man.
In this way, he can't understand why Captain Tang did this, the Kernar family has no conflict of interest with Morningstar Casting at all, and doing so is destined to be a lose-lose result.
Wealth, women, power, enjoyment...... When a person takes these things as a lifelong pursuit. When he was all that was in life, everything he saw, everything he thought. All are labeled as "interests".
Such a person naturally does not understand anything other than "profit", just as a captive pig is used to become a delicacy on the human table, a person like him is the most loyal servant of "profit", and carries forward this spirit and spreads it to the whole society.
Bad money drives out good money...... It's really sad.
If Bai Yue was here, he might sigh, "God has abandoned mankind." β
Izsha is not a white mountain. She imprisoned him in a chamber inside Behemoth.
She hated his chatter.
The real Izsha is a "person" without a temper, because "she" has no story and no experience. Naturally, he can't talk about his temper, but now that he has been transformed by the interstellar system and fused with Morrisnu's memories, negative emotions such as hatred and pessimism will naturally arise. When a person realizes that he has lived in deception and oppression since he was a child. How can it be innocent and as bright as a flower.
She became like a piece of ice, she liked the cold, she liked quiet, and she hated it very much when someone buzzed in her ear like a mosquito, buzzing past, and making people irritated.
Only when facing Captain Tang would she melt into a puddle of clear water.
For interstellar systems. She knows more and knows more than Claire and Zhou Ai. That was her hope, and it was the hope of all Morrisnu.
She looked at Urita's bitten white lip and said, "Because you deserve to die." β
She was paraphrasing Tang Fang's words.
Uzhtana was obedient to the opinion of those in power, and when he heard the rumors, he said: "Is it Philips? Or Meng Haoyu? β
"Is there a difference?"
Wuri Tana Shun thought about it carefully, whether it was Philips or Meng Haoyu, there was really no difference. If the Tang side hadn't arrived in time, perhaps more people would have died on the West Coast.
Surbachio's younger brother, Gil Hassan, stepped out of the crowd, leaned up to his proud head and said, "This is politics." β
He is not like his older brother, who inherited Amanda on the one hand? Crivat's cruelty in his bones, on the other hand, inherited Congreve's toughness, and even in the face of such a situation, he still insisted on what he believed to be the truth.
Despite Sulbaggio's death, he was the rightful heir to the duke, and he agreed with his brother's approach.
This is politics, something that has been piled up with human life and blood, very cruel and realistic.
Surbacho was not wrong in what he did, and if it were him, he would definitely have done it more forcefully, because Congreve spoiled those officials and used to those civilians to flower, didn't he just lay a landscape wall of human heads outside the airport in Fort Norr? Someone dared to engage in any demonstrations. Okay, it's a shame to cause trouble for the government.
The veteran extinguished the cigar butt at his feet, closed his skull, and walked towards the courtyard gate with C-14's piercing hand in his arms.
Iron boots made a muffled thud on the ground, and occasionally stones were broken and made a screeching sound.
Izsha whispered calmly, "Politics...... Treatment? β
She walked out the door after the veteran, the cockroaches on both sides of the courtyard following closely, their backs stabbing through the flowers, making a soft rustling sound, especially harsh at night.
The puppies slowly retreated, their hideous faces gradually melting into the night.
Everyone in the Knard family looked at each other, unable to figure out why the insect swarm was menacing, and they looked like they were asking for sin, why they suddenly left, giving people a feeling of thunder and rain.
Gil Hassan was stunned, then excited, and finally proud. He thought very well that he had repelled the snake girl's million soldiers with a single sentence.
"This is politics", just one sentence, five words, but it is very powerful, has connotation, and is also a kind of social philosophy.
No one can change it, so people just roll around in the dirty mire, and no one wants to jump out. No one person, even if he has the unworldly force and the ability to defy the sky, cannot compete with the general trend of the world, cannot compete with the historical accumulation, and cannot compete with the social rules established over thousands of years.
Isn't it something to be proud of that he managed to surrender without a fight? Not something to be proud of?
As soon as Sulbacho died, he was the new duke, a legendary hero who once used a sentence to repel the cattle of the Tang Ship Immortal Corps.
Amanda? Krivaert awoke from his distraction, the sadness in his eyes replaced by a smile on his lips.
Surbacho is dead, Gil Hassan is still alive. What's more, she and most of the members of the Kernar family are still alive. Gil Hassan would succeed as Duke and continue to implement the New Counter-Reform Deal. Continuing Surbachgio's unfinished business.
As for Captain Tang and his "Morning Star Forge", one day she will pay the price for today's humiliation, and she swears in the name of Kerriot and the Kernar family that she will not let him go.
She believes that the Supreme Security Council will never swallow its anger and ignore the fact that Bulwell was killed by the Tang side.
She had even more reason to believe that Zangowell would take the opportunity to mobilize the princes of the country to oppose the "Morning Star Casting". Hit Henrietta from the side.
Uzhtana stepped out of the searchlight and squinted at the courtyard gate, where he saw the last puppy leave. With very brisk steps, he walked up to Gil Hassan and said, "Lord, they are far away. β
He is a qualified minion, a smart dog. Sulbacho had only been dead for a short time. Before the first seven days had passed, he began to look for a new master for himself.
A few people expressed doubts, the snake woman, and the man who sat on the edge of the fountain and smoked on the stone platform, would really retreat because of Gil Hassan's words? Although that sentence is very devastating.
Aros and Izsha were indeed gone, flying into the sky in a black transport plane, the flames of the engines swaying gently like candles in the night wind. Slowly sinking into the clouds.
The army of king worms began to retreat, like balloons made of flesh and blood. Slowly rise into the sky.
Uzhtanashun stood beside Gil Hassan with a flattering smile.
Amanda? Krivat looked at the night sky and sneered.
Gil Hassan glanced down at the clothes on his body, and felt that it was a little ill-fitting and should be changed.
The Sky Guard and the Hive Insect Lord writhed their bloated bodies and sank into the depths of the clouds with the support of the hordes of wyverns.
At this moment, two shadows swept through the low sky, and then, Amanda ? Krivat felt a fishy breath hit her nose, and a large cloud of slime fell from the sky and splattered all over her body.
Not only her, but Gil Hassan, Uzh Tanashun, and other members of the Knar family were all covered in slime.
Cuckoo......
As a strange cry faded away, the two shadows burrowed into the depths of the dark clouds.
The searchlights on both sides of the courtyard flickered a few times, as if to say goodbye to the insect swarm, or something else, such as the return of the unjust souls that refused to disperse, such as the arrival of death, and the scythe raised forcefully accidentally interfered with the things of the world.
Uzhtana tore open the mass of mucus with his hands, examined his body carefully, and found that everything was in good condition, and before he could think twice, he immediately went to help Jil Hassan dispose of the smelly liquid that stuck all over his body.
Amanda? Feeling dirty, Kerry Watt vomited several times, only to force out some sour water.
Her freshly cleaned body was tainted with a cloud of bug bodily fluids, which made her feel like she was being forced. JIANγ Thinking of the bath in the palace, he struggled to break free from the slimy mass and staggered all the way to the bath in the center of the palace.
As she ran, she cursed Tang Fang loudly. Of course...... She's a noble lady who doesn't use vulgar words, at most "stinky boy, redneck, trash, asshole, die...... and the like.
A duchess who can think of the allusion of the "Zhu Shi Clan", a poisonous woman who can laugh at a 7-year-old girl whose neck was cut off by a butcher's knife, and an evil woman who raised a male pet less than seven days after her husband's death, she can't even scold.
The bath was not far away, and the sparkling water and the scent of rose petals could be seen, unwashed away by the stench of the swarm.
She doesn't like to take cold showers, and naturally she doesn't want to soak in the cold mountain spring water. She loved hot springs, milk baths, and the blood of young girls. Hot springs are good for the body, milk keeps the skin tender, and the blood of a young girl keeps her young.
It's just that at this moment, she has no choice but to settle for a moment, because she hates the insect saliva sticking to her body more than the cold mountain spring water, which makes her sick to her stomach.
The black high heels were thrown under the eaves, she ran barefoot to the palace, jumped into the water with her kimono, took out the cold water and poured it on her face, and washed the slimy dirty things into the pool, floating between the rose petals, the flowers were green, like a pot of porridge.
It was very uncomfortable to take a bath in clothes, the water was cold, and there was no handsome male pet to serve, which made her very unhappy.
Fortunately, she is still alive, and she retreats in the face of the swarm, compared to life, a moment of unhappiness is nothing, anyway, that old thing is dead, and there is no ash left from the nuclear bomb, she can do whatever she likes in the future, and no one dares to slap her again.
Sorting out the sticky substance from her hair and shoulders, she stepped out of the water and twisted her waist in front of the mirror, feeling the smell of water hibiscus.
She is very satisfied with her body, and under the care of countless nutrient solutions and beauty products, a 70-year-old person still looks like a 40-year-old, it is the years of burning passion. How many times did she feel unworthy for herself, marrying a man who was 10 years older than her, and wasting her precious youth in vain.
Not only that, but the status and wealth of the Krivat family in the dukedom did not increase greatly because of her connections, which made her very dissatisfied, and she was ridiculed by some people in the clan, saying that she was a collection in the Congreve Collection, which seemed to be precious, but in fact had no value. Because as long as Congreve doesn't die, she will remain a collection, not an auction item.
Fortunately, Congreve's original wife gave birth to a mentally handicapped child, and for some reason died of illness, so that her two sons had hope for a future. So she endured the madness and wildness in her patience, forced herself to indulge in the sea of words, and read many books...... In fact, in her opinion, that kind of life is no different from going to prison.
The prison of the flesh is not terrible, but the prison of the spirit is.
Now that Congreve is dead, whether Surbacho succeeds to the throne or Gilhasan comes to power, she can do whatever she wants and free the mind that has been imprisoned for so many years. (To be continued......)
