Chapter 30: The Death of the Sage

Yad. Latour's death brought about a series of changes, and the situation of the whole world has changed dramatically in just a few years.

The beginning of all this was the death of the Great Sage of Yad.

The death of this great sage brought about changes in the heavens and the earth, although not many people died because of it, but even after a long time, the scene of that day is still vivid, and it has become a nightmare for many people's lives.

The direct consequence was that the consuls, parliaments, and senates, who had always been full of majesty, were thus swept away in majesty, and although afterwards, the archon tried his best to control public opinion, and even revised the epic and historical materials, and sent people everywhere to publicize it, but in fact, even those who he hired were against him, but because of his authority, they dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.

Even so, these people hired by him are also venting their dissatisfaction in their own ways, and those who are ordered to revise the historical materials deliberately leave many flaws, loopholes, and inconsistencies in them, as long as the reader digs a little deeper, it is not difficult to guess the reason, as for the people who were hired to spread the news and try to change public opinion, they used obscure methods to publicize the truth.

So, it didn't take long for the archon to be truly ruined.

"I don't understand! Why did those people not hesitate to anger me, but also oppose me, and even use these crooked brains, they don't know whether they are alive or dead! Soon, the archon found out that he had hired people to make small moves, and couldn't help but be furious, and directly used the power of the archon to execute two people, trying to make an example of the monkey, but the effect was not obvious, although those people were afraid, but they still continued the previous thing, and some even simply quit their jobs, in order to prevent retaliation. Escaped directly from Saab City.

"Father, don't you understand?" In contrast, it was the son of the great archon who saw it more clearly: "On the day the great sage was executed, the heavens and the earth changed and the impact was far-reaching, and many people already regarded him as a god in the world. They were sent down to lead us to civilization and prosperity, but they were put to death, and of course they feared, and your power could be feared, because they would suffer calamity while they were alive, but the majesty of the gods made people even more afraid, because whether they lived or died. They will all suffer misfortune! ”

Hearing his son's explanation, the archon became more and more depressed, in fact, he also understood these truths, but things have developed to the point where many things have gone out of control, and he can only deceive himself, and now he is pointed out. The fear in my heart grew stronger.

Soon, the parliament and the senate also had new directives. Deprived the archon of his ruling position, and put all the blame on him.

But on the day the former consul lost power, he looked at his original colleagues and just sneered: "You think you can get rid of your responsibilities in this way? Wrong, none of you can escape! ”

Leaving such a sentence, he suddenly raised his voice: "The biggest mistake of my life." It was to participate in the execution of the great sage, and for the sake of my power and yours, I took the life of that prophet, so this retribution cannot be escaped! Mine today. It's your tomorrow! ”

After saying this, he drew his sword and killed himself! Corpses on the spot!

Blood stained the white floor of the council, and also terrified the consuls, councillors and senators, and the news quickly spread to the city, causing even more turmoil, and the people's anger finally had a clear target, the death of the archon did not save his family, the raging people were like a roaring flood, tearing the blood of this noble family, but they were not satisfied, and soon pointed the finger at the other consuls and councilors.

The words of the archon before his death seemed to have turned into a curse, entangled in the council and beyond, and these former noble people could no longer be feared, and the entire city of Saab was plunged into chaos.

It was at such a moment that the enemy arrived.

When the Sass cavalry in fancy dress and with sharp blades attacked, the entire city of Sabo, which once represented prosperity and civilization, had fallen into a leaderless situation, and the originally good people, in the riots again and again, the violence in their hearts gradually awakened, and the conflict caused by the death of the great sage evolved into a mob carnival, they overturned the powerful to the ground, knocked the authority to the ground, and replaced it with a supreme pleasure.

It's a pity that the cold blades of the Sars tore this pleasure apart, and also made the fanatical crowd sober up, and they fell into panic and fear.

"This is the rumored city of wisdom? But that's it! ”

The knight of the Sas, Gul. Artis laughed wildly after splitting a panicked Sass citizen in half with a single sword, he had been ordered to rob the books of the Academy of Truth and the corpse of the Grand Sage of Yard, but after seeing the fearful eyes in the chaotic city, he felt that he could try to get more.

"Perhaps, we can get this city of wisdom!" Gul. Artis licked his lips, "Even if we can't occupy it permanently, it will be a devastating blow to the morale of the people along the coast, not to mention that this city is extremely rich, and we will take all the wealth from it with us, the benefits are unimaginable!" ”

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was good, and the ambition in his heart swelled infinitely, and he directly changed the plan, although the team he led, although there were only more than 1,000 people, but they could be sent to raid the spring pass, deep behind the enemy, every member in it, is the elite of a thousand, united and led by him, it is an elite army.

The chaotic citizens of Bosa, of course, are powerless in the face of such an army, and it is no wonder that Gul will breed. Artis's ambitions.

However, after the initial chaos, some people in the city quickly reacted, and the first to respond, naturally, were the original consuls and councilors, but now their prestige has been discredited, and many people have just been insulted by the citizens of the city, and their hearts are full of hatred and anger, so some of them mobilized their family power as soon as possible, fled with wealth, and did not care about the life and death in the city.

"This group of mobs, we used to protect them, but now we are beating a rake, and it is not a pity to die, but we can't bury them." The senators, councillors, and consuls who had left with their wealth sneered at the chaos in the city, and looked at the faces distorted by fear, and some of them felt not empathy, but the thrill of revenge, and in their opinion, the mob in the city that had insulted them was even more hateful than the Sasians, and now the Sass were only helping them to take revenge.

It is precisely because of this idea that in addition to the fugitives, there are also some top-level nobles who choose to take refuge in Gul. Artis, wanting to truly join in the revenge and crusade against the mob, sent his subordinates to negotiate and promised Gul. Artis has various benefits, and its bottom line is to keep the family's wealth.

"You mean that you are willing to help me take over the city at the cost of not moving your wealth?" Looking at the person who came to negotiate, he made a look of arrogance and asked, "Why should I accept your help?" ”

The negotiator was obviously prepared, and when he heard this, he said: "General, there are only more than 1,000 men and horses under your command, how much can you afford to lose?" Now you can have the advantage, it is chaos in the city, but as long as the chaos subsides and causes losses to your soldiers and horses, then you will not gain much from this surprise attack, and it is not easy to speak in front of that king. ”

Because of Sun Dao's advocacy, although the people of Sabo City are arrogant and feel that they are the pinnacle of civilization in the world, they are not complacent, and they still have some understanding of the outside world, at least they have some knowledge of the power structure in the Sass Empire.

Because many tribes were united and quickly unified in a short period of time, the influence of each tribe was still there, and the leaders of those tribes only changed from the patriarch to the nobles of the Sass Empire, so the supreme leader was called the king of kings.

Overall, it was a relatively primitive and loose empire, relying on expansion and theocracy to maintain a basic unity, so it was inevitably full of factions and struggles for power.

Such as Gul. A general like Artis, who started his career on military merits, has a weak foundation, and may lose ground if he fails once, or if a task is not completed.

"You still know a lot about the Empire, in that case, then send someone who can really talk to you and discuss the cooperation plan in detail." After some thought, Gul. Artis gave this answer.

The negotiator suddenly showed joy: "I believe we will not disappoint you, General." Then I went back and reported.

"General, do you really want to co-opt these nobles?" On the side, Gul. Attis's adjutant looked puzzled, "The real wealth of this city is in the hands of the nobles, let them go, our gains will be greatly reduced, after all, we don't really want to occupy this place for a long time, and these people can betray their own people, there is no discipline and loyalty at all, it is useless to keep it." ”

"Of course I know that, but ......" Gul. Asti showed a sneer, "The city can't run anymore, in that case, why don't we reduce our losses?" ”

In Gul. In Artis's opinion, the city was already in his own pocket, and with the men in his hands, it was enough to get it all, and the wealth of those nobles was the object of his coveting, how could he agree to such a condition? It's just that he doesn't want his men to suffer too many casualties.

"As for these nobles, they are still useful, so why promise them? I didn't say I would abide by it! ”

After saying this, he and the adjutant looked at each other and smiled, but at this moment, a knight suddenly came over with a solemn face: "General, we found several spies in the river outside the city, look at the dress, it should be Mrs. Maas!" (To be continued.) )
