Chapter 306: There's an Elders' Council?
Talia's series of failures directly caused her to lose the trust of those who had supported her within the Assassin League. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info And those who didn't support her in the first place also found a gap to attack her. Clearly, she valued her father's personal vendetta more than the Assassins' beliefs. And when she gave birth to Bruce Wayne's child, the opposition to her in the league reached its peak. The opposition seized the opportunity to gain momentum and soon in turn suppressed her and her supporters.
Of course, for Sarah's faction, there was no such thing as repression, but only an attempt to purge the Assassin League of Assassins of certain people who had violated their beliefs and were acting falsely - at least on the surface.
Under the "not suppression" of Sarah's faction, Talia and her die-hard people have a hard time. If it weren't for the fact that there were still people in the Presbyterian Council who cared about her father's old affection, Talia with a baby would have been unable to hold on a long time ago.
That's right, the Presbyterians. Zorro, who had seen a lot of stories about the League of Assassins in his previous life, never knew that the League of Assassins also had an Elders, and it seemed that it was the product of the integration of multiple worlds. But this Council of Elders is mysterious enough. According to Sarah, few of the members of the League of Assassins knew who was in the Presbyterian Church, how many people were, and where they were. That's something that only Lei Xiaogu knows. During the reign of Lei Xiaogu, the Council of Elders was basically a legend, and it would not appear at all, nor would it interfere with Lei Xiaogu's decision. And when Lei Xiaogu disappeared or died, they came out to show their sense of existence. However, the strange thing is that they are even more excessive than the ordinary members of the Assassin League, and they are divided into three factions.
Well, in fact, the average member of the Assassin League should also be divided into three factions. A considerable number of people have no opinion on who will be Lei Xiaogu. The difference is that the neutrals on the Elders' side didn't suffer such a thing as being forced to fight. It should be said that they are beyond that realm.
So, the Council of Elders came out with two representatives. One goes to Talia, the other to the leader on Sarah's side.
Listening to Sarah, Zorro noticed a problem.
"Listen to you, that Council of Elders has only been sending a representative for a short time?"
Sarah nodded, "That's right. One of the representatives of the Presbyterian Church approached the leader of my side only a month ago. And as far as we know, it's the same on the Thalia side. ”
"That's weird." Zorro frowned and continued, "Lei Xiaogu's position has been hanging in the air for several years. And even Tagliaogu's second defeat has been more than a year old. Why was it a month ago? ”
"That's because something happened before that, you might as well speculate." Sarah said lightly.
Zorro thought for a moment, then said helplessly: "Bruce Wayne? ”
Sarah nodded again, confirming Zorro's guess.
"It is said that Bruce Wayne was once trained in the League of Assassins. The previous Lei Xiaogu valued him very much at that time, and there were rumors that the previous Lei Xiaogu wanted to match him and Talia and let him be the heir of Lei Xiaogu. Even after the previous Lei Xiaogu decided to clean Gotham, many people speculated that it was for Bruce Wayne. In the battle to defeat the previous Thunder Guy, Bruce Wayne showed the Assassins what he was capable of and his untapped potential. If it weren't for the hatred planted by the Assassin Alliance in his hands at that time, and there was a grudge, maybe someone would have welcomed him up the mountain as Lei Xiaogu. ”
I didn't expect this kind of thing. It's no wonder that Tagliaogu has developed such a complicated relationship with Bruce Wayne. On the one hand, Talia had an "affair" with Bruce Wayne, and even if she hadn't met him at the beginning, she was sure that people were saying how right she was in her ear. On the other hand, Talia was not convinced that he was arranged as the second in line of succession, or even just to maintain the bond between Lei Xiaogu and the heir, and resented Bruce Wayne and even her father. And by the time Bruce Wayne made a fool of her father, things changed again. She decides to defeat Bruce Wayne and finish her father's unfinished business, thus proving that she is better than both. For this reason, she did not hesitate to use the pseudonym Miranda Tate, contacted Bruce Wayne in another capacity, and became her girlfriend. Although it ended in failure, in the end, Talia still had a relationship with Bruce Wayne and had a son. In this way, the situation seems to return to the plan of the previous generation of Lei Xiaogu...... Well, is there a word that is a little more complicated than "complicated"?
“…… Talia's two defeats further highlight Bruce Wayne's strength. So there are people in your Council of Elders who want to take advantage of Bruce Wayne's injury to blacken him and let him be your Thunder Thunderbolt? At this point, Zorro smacked his lips. I have to say, your elders really know how to play. I see why you're asking me for help. It seems that the candidate on your side - hehe, the candidate - is not in the presence of the previous generation of Lei Xiaogu and the fact that he has flesh and blood with Tagliaogu is considered to be a good red red red Bruce Wayne. ”
Sarah looked at him seriously: "Not necessarily, and it's not that simple. However, we do need your help. Now our plan is that even if we can't get Lei Xiaogu's position, even if it drags on, we won't be able to let Talianogu's side succeed. ”
According to Sarah, while there was support from the Presbyterian Church on both sides, it was clear that Thalia had more support. While Sarah and the others only got verbal promises, the other side had already given Talia advice.
It was a "three-step" plan. First, make Bruce Wayne his own; Next, let Bruce Wayne lead the team to capture Gotham; Finally, hand over Gotham to the organization to fulfill the organization's mission of balancing the social order. After that, it was Bruce Wayne waiting to sit on the throne. At that time, Talia, as the wife of Lei Xiaogu and the mother of Lei Xiaogu's heir, will have no less power. Even "hanging the curtain and listening to politics" is not impossible!
"So now, their first step plan is complete, and ...... Using black magic to brainwash Bruce Wayne and make him cut off the past, it's really thorough enough. Their second step, as far as it stands, has been completed. Bruce Wayne took control of the whole of Gotham under the pseudonym of Match Malone. I just can't understand why Gotham fell so quickly. And their third step, I think if they want to turn in Gotham, there's going to be a proclamation ceremony or something. We will postpone this ceremony as much as possible. We need you to defeat the combined forces of Bruce Wayne and Tagliaogu and retake Gotham. ”
Zorro thought for a moment and shook his head.
"First of all, I can answer your questions. You haven't paid attention to Gotham before, and you must not know that Gotham has had several major incidents recently, and the underworld and police forces of the entire Gotham have been purged over and over again. Secondly, it doesn't have to be to defeat Bruce Wayne, I believe there will be a way to get him out of his brainwashed state, and then things will be much simpler. And this brings me to the last point I want to make, Carmodo, the dark mage. If Tagliaogu has his help, I think with your current manpower, you can vote directly. ”
