One Thousand One Twenty Five: On the eve of the Red League's counteroffensive and the chaotic eve of the demonic bourgeoisie

The endless glow of fire and the splendor of light illuminated the canyon, making Fleet City brighter and warmer than ever before.

However, it was already known that Fleet City would cease to exist.

The Uncrowned Lord Mosmut has died at the hands of the Wizarding Governor, and the Flagship Fort has been blown to pieces in the skies of Sifern. Such news circulated among the citizens and workers of Fleet City through countless transmitters distributed by the Red Union.

In the afternoon, the Red Federation also projected a huge stereoscopic image over the city, allowing people to clearly see the hand of the goddess of order disintegrate, and the imperial fleet that once weighed over the fleet city like a cloud of steel was also destroyed.

Since the morning, the fighting that broke out in the sky and on the ground over Fleet City has not stopped, and the Red Union has used the terrain to build several temporary shelters to shelter the citizens through the initial chaos. After that, with the next move of the Red Alliance, and the arrival of the Imperial Legions, even greater confusion ensued.

The Red Federation had come to take people out of Fleet City, which confirmed the Empire's propaganda for a long time.

The Red Federation plundered the population in various places, using terrifying magic technology to turn most of the people into puppets that would never stop, and produce materials for them. Boys and girls, and even younger children, were forced to sing and dance to please them, and they were only fed disgusting food made from slimes.

A small number of people listened to the propaganda of the Red Federation and were very cooperative and even happy to follow them, while the rest, mainly the workers of the floating shipyard, were very resistant.

Although some people argue that it was the workers trying to snatch the weapons and equipment of the Red Union soldiers, or that the fleet city was too chaotic, and the Red Federation did not want the workers to run around and be killed by the Imperial soldiers, after all, they used violent means.

Coupled with the fact that the former mentor was actually a "spy" of the Red Alliance, the halfling Racial's trust in the Red Alliance's already low level decreased sharply. Relying on the shelter provided by the Red Union, a large number of workers escaped the catastrophe, and trust was temporarily pulled back. Seeing the old mentor become tall and strong, mighty and upright, Chilian's credibility and trust in the mentor were shattered in Rachar's heart at the same time.

"That's your ultimate goal, isn't it? trick us all into going over to you and making you slaves!"

When Trizt mentioned once again that the Red Union had urgently sent a transport ship that could take everyone away, Rachal finally broke out: "You have worked so hard to pretend to be an old man for so long, Trizt...... Tutor ......"

The shelter was built on the ground floor of an alley, and Lachar jumped on a pile of broken wooden boxes and shouted to the panicked workers, "We won't leave! Here in Fleet City, the magician master only needs our strength and craftsmanship to go to the Red Union, God knows what they want from us!"

The old dwarf Broughton scolded: "Rachar, if we hadn't made a move, you would have died a long time ago! You believe in the propaganda of the empire so much, and think that our Red Union is evil?"

Racharle sneered: "In your eyes, we are wealth, of course we have to protect it! As for whether the Red Union is evil, of course we don't believe in the propaganda of the empire, but it doesn't mean that we have to believe your propaganda." If you really want to compare, it's the magician who tricked us into signing the contract, not the empire, but the Red Union...... Mentor Trizt is here, does anyone still believe your words?"

Trizter looked at the halfling with a very complicated gaze, and did not open his mouth to defend himself.

Taking his silence as a weakness of heart, Lachar's confidence rose and he continued to shout: "The magician master deceived us, the foreman oppressed us, and we have long understood that no one in this world can rely on ourselves!"

"Fleet City is gone, there are other cities, we still have hands and feet, let's go somewhere else!"

Rashar had just come from somewhere else, and he was prepared: "I am the clerk of the Fleet City Slipway Guild, and our guild organizes everyone to earn food on their own, and there is no need to go to anyone!"

"If we leave here, the Imperial army will not stop us, and if we continue to stay with the people of the Red Alliance, you all know what the consequences will be!"

After shouting, he looked directly at Trizt, raised his spirit, and prepared to meet the opponent's counterattack.

Trizter was silent for a moment, smiled faintly, and said to his subordinates and workers who were willing to go to the Red Federation: "Let's go, we are running out of time." ”

Tearing down the small protective barrier that had been transformed from the military solidarity circle, Trizter and his party left the alley, while Rashar shouted in the back: "Thank you, Mentor Trizt! You not only taught us how to organize and fight, but also taught us to keep our eyes open at all times!"

"I really want to knock that little hairy foot out and take it back, and see his expression of sudden realization. ”

The old dwarf gritted his teeth in anger: "Director, are these people just giving up? Even if they use some means to force them, as long as they get to the place, they will naturally understand our hard work." ”

"It's so chaotic here, we don't have many people to take away, so we can only prioritize volunteers." Forcing them is not only problematic, but also unfair to those who are willing to go with us. ”

"And...... I didn't think it well at first, thinking that it was just doing the promotion work here, in order to facilitate the falsification of my identity, that led to such a crisis of confidence. ”

"Now that the central government has decided on a full-scale counteroffensive, the troops that have been put into Fleet City will soon be transferred back, and we can't afford to waste time and resources here. ”

He sighed deeply: "It's a pity, I've seen the power in these people. ”

In the remote corners of the canyon, around the open barrier, scavengers and kobolds patrolled in armor, the army's tracked chariots occupied key positions, and the thick muzzles of guns pointed in all directions, this was the area of Red Union control. The white dolphin commuter planes took off and landed busily, bringing groups of citizens who were willing to go to Chilian to the transport ships above the clouds.

"Brotton, you take someone back, I still have something to stay. ”

When he arrived at the location, Trizter suddenly said this, which surprised the assistant.

According to the central government's instructions, Trizt should return to report on his work, and then lead the underground forces of Redstone, Norton, and the Forgotten Forest, and cooperate with the all-out counteroffensive of the Red Alliance, and bring these three places into the territory of the Red Alliance.

"There will be a lot of workers going to Sachiedonia and even Valentine, where there are more and bigger float ship workshops, and I am going to go there and continue their work. ”

"Redstone, Norton, and the Forgotten Forest are in charge of their respective branches, and I've handed in a report. Cardinal Tarence will be fine with just a few charges, and I should go where I am needed more. ”

The old dwarf guessed Trizt's thoughts, frowned, and said, "You don't seem to agree with the decision of the Central Committee?"

Trizter shook his head and nodded: "What I don't agree with is the latest judgment, the previous judgment, I mean the revolutionary stage theory, I think it is far-sighted and completely correct. ”

"Look at Rachar and his co-workers, they are already on the verge of awakening. With a little push at the right time, they will stand up and fight the old times to the end. ”

"They don't trust us, and the estrangement is natural. The path of cosmopolitanism, which we represent, is too advanced for them. They had just emerged from an aristocratic and theocratic society, and if the magic bourgeoisie noticed their power even slightly, they were natural bourgeois stormtroopers. ”

"Don't underestimate them, in the entire empire, there are two million workers in the floating ship workshop alone, and there are at least ten million workers in other magic industries. Moreover, their consciousness and struggle will also affect the entire citizen class, and the urban population of the Dawning Empire should be 40 million, which is almost ten times the population of our Red Union. ”

Trizt's tone was full of worry: "The appearance of the Heart of the Silver Moon has made the Goddess of Order and the Dawning Empire speed up their opposition to us, and at this time, the magicians are also actively involved in the war, and the central government believes that the revolutionary stage theory is wrong." ”

"I think the central government has ignored the power of the workers at the bottom, the power of the citizens, and their thirst for revolution, which will make our all-out counteroffensive very resistant. ”

"An all-out counteroffensive will force the enemy, which is already showing signs of fragmentation in the inner camp, to remain united, while taking the deceived Imperium hostage hostage. I fear undue losses on both sides, with unforeseen consequences. ”

The old dwarf thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Actually, I think so too, but we are carrying out the revolution at the two levels of mortals and human gods at the same time, and the focus of the central government's attention may be on the human and god revolution, which is more decisive after all, so we didn't pay attention to more details of the mortal revolution." ”

Trizter patted the old dwarf on the shoulder: "Yes, when I reported, I hoped that the central government would reconsider the current policy, but I didn't have enough strong facts to convince them. So I have to go further into the working class. The central authorities had a long-term plan in this regard, and after discussing it, they agreed with me to verify my own views. ”

The old dwarf held his head high: "You can't leave me, my old Broughton is still useful!"

Trizt thought about it and had to nod, he really couldn't do without this partner.

Thinking of the main reason why the people of Rachar no longer trusted them, the old dwarf said again: "Why don't I pretend to be a mentor this time, and the director will act secretly?"

Trizter laughed and said, "Let's not pretend to be anything......"

He put away his smile and said solemnly, "If we want to understand them, we must first become one of them." ”

In the crowded alleys, Racharre stood taller, otherwise the crowd behind him would not have seen him.

He shouted with a giant-like momentum in the small voice of a halfling: "None of us believe in it, we only believe in earning money with our own hands!"

"As long as we are united, there is no problem that cannot be solved!"

"Let's go to Sachiton! There are still a lot of floatship workshops there!"

..................

On the steep cliff, another halfling looked at the fireworks rising from afar, and the canyon was uncertain, and sighed long: "Why can't the war stop?"

Sitting next to him was a tall young man in the uniform of an ordinary Imperial soldier, who said guiltily when he heard this: "I'm sorry Flodo, I don't have the right to decide the recruitment affairs here in Redstone. ”

"No, Your Excellency Marshal," said Flodo, "I'm not complaining about you, I'm just lamenting, after so many years, when will it be the end." ”

Urgently transferred back to Redstone by the Imperial Ministry of War, Remako, who was in charge of resisting the Red Alliance, was silent for a while before saying, "It's almost over." ”

Flodo turned his head and said in disbelief: "Marshal, you also believe the notice of the Red Federation?"

The Red Alliance's announcement of an all-out counteroffensive and the vision of the Battle of the Heart of the Silver Moon have spread throughout the main plane. As long as you have an old-fashioned magic teleporter, you can hear the announcement, and if you have an old-fashioned crystal ball, you can see the mirage.

What kind of declaration of "defeating Valentine and liberating all Finn" may be just lip service, and the mirage can also be made up, at least the Imperial Propaganda Department is already very skilled and professional in doing this kind of thing.

From the Crying Sand Sea to the Fleet City, Flodo also vaguely guessed that the situation of the Empire was not good, but to make him believe that the fleet was all finished, the Empire was in danger, and the Red Alliance's announcement was all true, he didn't believe it anyway.

Of course, I don't want to believe it.

The Dawning Empire, the ideal country created by Her Majesty Theresia and the warriors of all races, professions and identities is about to come to an end?

"I don't need a message from the Red Union ......"

Rimaco whispered, not expecting Flodo to hear. In fact, shortly after the golden hand of the Goddess of Order was shattered by the Silver Goddess, he received three top-secret summons in a row.

A letter from the inner court of the Imperial Palace, the young emperor bluntly stated that he needed a general like him to defend the empire, telling him to conserve his strength and consider the next defensive battle from the perspective of the commander-in-chief of the imperial legion.

The other is from the Magical Advisory Council, which is supposed to be the Mage Federation, which has long been a vase, and the payer is Zolde Mildern. Zolde informs him of the Duke of Soul Refining at the Flagship Fort, warning him that he must be the next target for the Holy See to clean up.

The third communication came from the Holy See, which was half threatening and half seductive, declaring that as soon as he "returned to the Orthodox Faith," the Holy See would hand over military power to him, and that he would lead the Holy See to purge the empire "through the most difficult times."

After this, the Imperial War Department, which was jointly controlled by the Holy See, the royal family, nobles, magicians, and other forces, issued a military order, giving him full responsibility for the defense of Redstone and Norton, and the first task was to expel the Red Alliance forces from Fleet City.

It seems that the struggle at the top has not yet come to a clear conclusion......

Rimaco sighed, and at this time, his subordinates reported that the Red Union forces were evacuating, and the residents of Fleet City were also fleeing on a large scale.

'Don't stand in the way on either side, now we need to be calm. ”

Rimako gave instructions, and then said to Flodo: "Lead the team to escort the fleeing inhabitants, so that the local legions do not stop them and do something." ”

Flodo looked at him, wanted to say something, but he still didn't say it, and after a solemn salute, he jumped into his six-legged magic chariot and roared away.

The glow of iron ash and scarlet was visible only to Rimako and his cronies.

The light wings of the inverted triangular head lowered the image and saluted Rimako's chin.

"Remako, it's time for you to make your choice again. ”

Atlas, the messenger of the god of war, said: "My lord is extremely concerned about this, and has sent me down to protect you, to ensure that your choice comes completely from the heart, without interference from outside forces." ”

Ruimako smiled faintly and said, "Isn't Your Majesty Xiuma afraid of offending Her Majesty, the Goddess of Order?"

Atlas said: "The conditions for our Lord to uphold eternal order are...... The gods and mortals have their place, each in his place. If His Majesty regards the seizure of the believers of our lord's favor as a necessary condition for the creation of an eternal order, then the so-called eternal order is merely the divine will of the goddess of order, and not the order recognized by our lord. ”

To put it so tongue-twisting, it means that Xiuma feels that the goddess of order has crossed the line......

Ruimaco smiled bitterly: "Completely from the heart, I actually don't know what choice I should make as a pure soldier in such a situation." ”

Atlas said in a tone of course: "On the side of the winner, of course." ”

Rimaco nodded: "That's really correct...... Nonsense. ”

Ignoring Atlas, Rimako fell into deep thought, and he realized that the side he wanted to choose was already in name only, because it was mixed with the inevitable negative option of the Holy See. And there were all the options left, but none of them he wanted to follow.

He doesn't just want victory.

"Of course, if you are not seeking victory, but the glory of a soldier", Atlas said in a low voice, "My Lord will leave you a special place in the Kingdom of God, and you will maintain your own will, while preserving all the memories of your life, and serve my Lord as a heroic spirit in the Kingdom of God." ”

Remaco's heart fell into the abyss, but he said with a smile in his mouth: "I am not the Marshal Montfrey in the mirage drama, so pure that I don't care about my own life and death. ”

Atlas nodded: "The choice is yours." ”

The message rang out, and Rimako's expression changed dramatically after listening to a few words.

"Princess Podina......

His brows furrowed, and his tone was unusually cold: "Those people of the Order Holy See really don't care about anyone." ”

..................

On the top floor of the tall tower with a huge pearl on the top of the middle Finn, in the broken fjord, a colorful dragon eagle is projected back and forth in the hall, just like a cat-man who has sucked enough catnip and jumps up and down.

"Oh my God, I can't believe it!"

"In just one day, the big crisis that made me sleepless was solved!"

"The Goddess of Order has actually been defeated! Such a powerful trick of probing the main body into the main plane has not succeeded!"

"I can sit back and relax haha!"

The dragon eagle projection shouted ecstatically while jumping around, if Tina was here, she would inevitably scream and down, isn't this voice the dragon eagle god named Amberil?

The queen of St. Byron, the Holy Maiden of Amberil, stamped her feet and shouted: "Your Majesty, even if there are no other believers here, we are still here, pay attention to the image!"

The gray-haired old Pope coughed as if his chest was about to explode, and he was still trying to change the subject: "Your Majesty, we need to determine the direction of the kingdom as soon as possible, the goddess of order has only failed in the main plane, and she is still high on the mountain of heaven. Once the Heavenly Mountain is repaired, the main plane is still in His final hand. ”

Long Ying projection blinked his innocent and smart big eyes, and snorted unhappily: "How can Heaven Mountain be so easy to repair? In His eternal order, a wild god like me is the end of skinning and cramping!"

"I think the Red Union is very good, the gods over there are all in a state of unity between man and God, similar to me. The people who came, especially the witch, were very funny, but they were a little disgusted to look at my pearl and drool. Anyway, it's fun to mess with them. ”

The holy woman sighed: "Your Majesty, if you only care about your own feelings, it doesn't matter what you choose, we follow your will. ”

Long Ying froze, rolled his eyes, and said with a stiff smile: "How, how can it be? I also care about my people, how can I ignore your wishes?"

The old Pope said, "An alliance with the Red Union is also a good option, at least to eliminate the threat from the side of the Holy Will Empire." However, for this reason, it seems that it is a little incompatible with the Dawning Empire. Can we be more flexible and get close to the Red Union through commercial trade, but not completely on their side?"

Long Ying became active again, circled around the hall like a sea snake, and said in a crisp voice: "Not bad, this is the opinion of Lao Cheng to seek the country!"

The tone changed again, and he said hatefully: "But in this way, I have a relationship with the goddess of business again, it's so troublesome, I hate that guy." ”

One god and two servants were struggling with their brains, and the communication crystal ball in the corner was shining.

The saint and queen answered the summons, and her expression kept changing until she became extremely solemn.

After the communication, the Holy Maiden frowned and said, "It's Hathaway Ted, the spokesperson of the Darkmoon Lady, who came to make trouble before, and she wants to form an alliance with us. She said something about the Dawning Empire, and in short, the whole world was about to be in trouble. ”

Amberil, the god of dragons and eagles, fainted in her projection, leaving only one sentence echoing in the hall: "Oh, then I have to hide quickly!

..................

In the Storm Islands, the central tower of the Free Academy of Magic, Hathaway waved away the light and shadow on the crystal ball, and said with a worried face: "That Amberil is a weak god at best, or a miscellaneous god whose body is on the main plane, and the Kingdom of Saint Beron is also very weak, and it is not a strength at all." ”

"One thing is one point," said Hathaway, the only avatar of Lady Darkmoon, Ranna, who was inseparable from Hathaway, "We have to get enough chips, otherwise there won't be much space for us on that boat." ”

Hathaway sneered: "I thought the goddess of order had any hole cards, it turned out to be a reboot of the world, what is the difference between this and what your previous one did?"

"As soon as he let go, the Holy See of Order will become a mad dog! Even Podina dares to move, I think they all have that in mind for me!"

Ran Na sighed: "I have lost too many memories, especially the situation outside the world of Finn, otherwise how could I be so passive, now I want to find Xiaohong." ”

"Don't think!"

Hathaway said categorically: "Even if I die and my soul is annihilated, I will not bow to Richie!"

Ran Na shrugged her shoulders, and suddenly a stirred spirit: "It's better to ...... Let's build our own ark!"

Hathaway was puzzled: "How do we do it?"

Ran Na smiled mysteriously: "My previous one left me a vague memory of that place, and I sensed that place when I interfered with the teleportation with the Goddess of Commerce and the Void Dragon God during the day. ”

Ranna nodded to Hathaway and said proudly, "New World......"
