Chapter 361: The Battle of Atthilan
"Okay, let's go." The Black Bolt King gripped the gadget Kane had given him, turned to Orlan and said, "Where are the civilians now?" β
"They still live where they were." Although Maximus won the throne with the support of the commoners, he did not fulfill his promise that he would make everyone's lives better, and the lives of the commoners remained the same as before, except that the nobles of the genetic committee were purged by Maximus under the pretext of purge.
In fact, this can't be completely blamed on Maximus, Attillan's resources are so many, before the development of new resources, it is difficult for their lives to change too much, as for the resources saved from the nobles, the commoners still don't think about it, in order to maintain their dominance, Maximus naturally transferred these resources to the palace guards who supported him, he knows better than anyone who can maintain his dominance, as for the changes he has made in power, It is nothing more than changing the original principle of distribution of strength to a family unit, and the family members of the palace guard were transferred out of the ranks of commoners, and they also enjoyed the treatment of nobles, which also made Maximus's rule more stable.
Therefore, when the Black Bolt King reappeared in front of the Inhuman civilians, many of the older generation of Inhumans were in tears, maybe the Black Bolt King was not deeply touched when he was in power, but when Maximus was in power, they knew what it meant to be as black as a crow in the world, of course, they were also different, Maximus still improved the status of some Inhuman civilians, but the work of these civilians who had been treated more was added to other people's bodies, which was not very wonderful.
"My king, you're finally back..."Several middle-aged Inhumans with a high status among the miners came to the Black Bolt King's side, and couldn't help but stroke their chests and apologize, "We apologize for not being able to support you in time during the rebellion, Maximus deceived us..."
"Okay, I can understand your situation, the power in the hands of Maximus is not something you can face, it is not your fault..."The Black Bolt King smiled kindly, as a leader, he was well aware of the blind obedience of the people, and even if these civilians were on his side at the time, it was useless, and the coup d'Γ©tat ultimately looked at the force of the warring parties.
"My king, can you speak?" Compared to before, the fact that the Black Bolt King spoke was surprising, and everyone in Attilan knew the reason why he couldn't speak.
"It's some friends on Earth who helped me..."The Black Bolt King didn't have time to explain so much to them, and now time was pressing, and the first priority was to take them away, "Okay, I'll talk about these things later, now I have something to announce." β
The Black Bolt King jumped onto a nearby stone platform and shouted at the Inhuman civilians below, "Fellow citizens, now we are facing a catastrophe, a demon from ancient times has arrived in our homeland, and is now in the royal palace, he is like a virus, parasitic on each of our Inhumans, providing nourishment for himself. β
There was a buzz, and after only a few seconds, the Inhuman civilians below immediately made a noisy sound, but they were not shocked by the demon's business, but surprised that the Black Bolt King could actually speak, and there were not many people who had just communicated with several leaders.
β... Well, my king, although it is true that His Excellency Maximus has done something unforgivable, it is not so bad as to be of that kind of duty. The older Inhumans asked cautiously, they thought that the Black Bolt King was talking about Maximus, although it was indeed a good argument to say that the usurpation of the throne was possessed by a demon, but it was difficult to convince everyone, and besides, this vague metaphor was a bit too old-fashioned.
The Black Bolt King's already dark face was as black as the bottom of the pot this time, "Do you think I'm talking about Maximus, of course not, now he's not a problem, there really is a demon who has come to Attillan, you have all studied history, have you forgotten the demon that prompted us to build the country?" β
"You mean, the primordial demon?" Several older Inhumans looked at each other, "Hasn't he been banished to another dimension for thousands of years, and the artifact used to exile him is still on Earth, why did he suddenly come here?" β
Looking at these disbelievable and even somewhat disdainful faces at the moment, the Black Bolt King couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Kane really understood the psychology of these people, and he had been prepared early on, and he didn't want to talk nonsense with them anymore, so he directly pressed the switch of the device, and then put it on the stone platform.
The inconspicuous little device was a projector, and it shot a picture directly into the air, and that image was the scene of Kane standing in front of the palace.
At this moment, Kane was looking up at the top of the stone steps, where a large group of people were standing, led by Elvis and Maximus, and behind them stood a group of strange-looking humanoids.
It was the product of Elvis's new parasitism, which was somewhere between his two previous parasitisms, while retaining a part of the host's sanity, while maximizing their abilities, because the parasitic way of controlling the host's mind was too wasteful, and that product also lost its mind, like a beast, but it didn't actually exert its full power.
As for the different appearances of those guards, it is their own problem, the Inhumans in Attilan are often accompanied by changes in appearance due to the stronger blood purity, and the stronger the ability, the greater the change in appearance, the Black Bolt King is considered to have a relatively small change in appearance, but it has also changed from a Caucasian to a dark-skinned person, and when Elvis strengthened the ability of those guards, their appearance has also changed drastically, and even, some people can hardly see the appearance of humans.
When this image appeared on the projector, all the Inhuman civilians were in an uproar, after being reminded by the Black Bolt King, the octopus-faced weirdo next to Maximus looked like the primordial demon in the history books, and the monsters in guard uniforms behind them did not look good, combined with the Black Bolt King's previous statements, they had already believed it.
Bernagar, the little boy in the crowd, also exclaimed, this is the picture he had told Maximus before, it was soon a bloody scene, could it be that they were going to slaughter the whole of Attilan, did they do something wrong?
"Okay, you've seen the truth, now my friend is trying to deal with that demon, all you need to do now is hide as far away from the palace as possible, and stop supporting that demon, understand?"
This time, the Black Bolt King's words took effect immediately, and the Inhuman civilians immediately ran to the edge of the city under Oran's leadership, while the Black Bolt King turned and walked towards the palace, where he was going to help Kane.
However, a thin figure flashed out in front of him, and the little boy Bernagar mustered up the courage to look at him and said, "Your Excellency the Black Bolt King, can I go to the palace with you..."
