The sight in the forest of corpses was truly shocking. Even a well-informed veteran journalist like Locks was still shocked by what he saw.

Not just simple corpse pieces, but also various human remains that have been piled together and posed with special symbols and shapes on the ground. Near a huge house that had burned down, thousands of bones were seen standing on the ground. It was all human thigh femurs, sharpened and stuck into the ground like a white bush of terror.

"The emperor is above, what do I see?"

Locks kept exclaiming, and his hands went back and forth in front of his chest to make virtual symbols to ward off evil. The expressions of shock and fear on Wong and Avril Avril were equally intense, and they grabbed the camera they carried on their chests, began to adjust the aperture focus, and then kept shooting. One quickly erected a tripod on the ground and used the camera to accurately record every corner that the camera swept through.

"It's just horrible. I have never seen such a large number of dark prayer ceremonies. ”

Locks wiped a handful of snowflakes from his face, took out a small recorder from his backpack, brought the microphone to his mouth, and said in an exclamatory and exaggerated tone: "This is Locks, the chief field correspondent of Imperial United Television, and you will never believe that this qiē is true." I know a lot of people wonder if there is hell in this world. Now, it's an opportunity to confirm it to those who doubt it. You may think I'm lying, but every thing you see will tell you that it's true. My partner is right next to me and the signal is cutting in. Believe me, this is definitely one of the most important news of the century. They eat people, they treat our bodies like cakes. Think about it, when you cut your own birthday cake with a knife, those who died, here, in Oviado, have been killed alive like cattle and sheep by dark creatures, and become sacrifices in dark ceremonies. ”

Avril has taken as many as dozens of photos. She climbed a cone-shaped mound more than two meters high, but found that the object that formed the platform above the ground was not the dirt she had imagined. Avril looked around, picked up a wooden pole from the side where the sacrificial corpse had fallen, and swept back and forth on the two-meter-high platform like crazy. When the thick snow was cleared, people were horrified to find that all the things piled up on this platform were the heads of Oviado's victims.

"I saw one of the most brutal and horrific scenes in the world."

Avril pinned a portable microphone to the collar of her coat, put down the camera in her hand, took out a small camera from her backpack, quickly adjusted the focal length, and swept the lens over the faces of the deceased who had turned cold and hard into ice, with blue skin and white eyes.

Fear and trembling were palpable in her voice: "They are indeed our worst enemies. They are inhumane. They treat us like food and toys completely. Take a look at these, and you will understand the real reason why the emperor ** team fought bloodily. They ruined Oviado, where tens of thousands of people died. Look at this forest of flesh and blood, and look at these dead people. Each of them is complaining, all crying out for revenge for them. Yes, this qiē is done in the name of the deceased. ”

Huang Weiguang's camera went over the head hill and turned directly to the distance covered in thick snow. Although most of the place is white, traces of the dead can still be seen on the high-definition screen, as well as various messy corpses.

"There is no exact number of people who died in the city of Oviado. But there is no doubt that the number of corpses here is so large. I'm afraid the best astringents in the world won't be able to put these corpses back together. There are so many of them, and there are even a lot of children among them. Look at this, it's a charred corpse, like a woman. Obviously, the creatures of darkness did not kill these poor people out of hunger, but out of cruelty and cruelty. They see this kind of thing as a game, and they see this kind of killing as excitement and entertainment. Think about it, when you hit a pet with a stick, or stab a cow or sheep with a knife, the same thing happened to our fellow citizens, the dead people in the city of Oviado. Even more cruel, more painful. ”

The men in black were already driving slowly in hovercars. There are many different types of electronic devices on board, all of which are used for photography and videography. Locks had finished the recording in his hand and trotted over to the vehicle. He reached out to pick up a shoulder-mounted camera, but the man in black next to him had already reached out to help and put the camera on his shoulder.

"You should pay more attention to the part of the news report that caused this tragedy."

The man in black was wearing sunglasses, and judging from the rough facial skin, he should be a middle-aged man of about forty years old. He patted Locks on the shoulder and said lightly, "Civilians living in the inner region of the empire, many people will never be able to see such a terrible scene in their lifetime. You have to make them feel terrified, that there is a threat at hand. They are not safe, and dark creatures don't know when they will appear. This kind of tragedy is not only happening on the borders of the empire, but in many other places, it is possible. ”

The words of the man in black had obvious inspiration for Locks. He immediately turned on the recorder and said in an interview-style tone, "Why is this happening in Oviado?" Isn't this an imperial jurisdiction? Taxpayers have to pay a large amount of taxes every year to support a large number of emperors. They should keep us safe. But these people, when they died, where was the emperor's ** team? ”

This is not an informal interview, but the audio material can be edited in post-production to complement the video material. The man in black smiled knowingly, took out a small information recorder from his jacket pocket, pressed the switch, and a two-meter-square holographic map suddenly appeared in front of Locks's eyes.

"This is Oviado."

Locks pointed to the shining red light on the screen with his guide pen and said in a colorful voice, "This place is under the jurisdiction of the 441st Infantry Division of the Imperial Wehrmacht. For military purposes and needs, we have not been able to obtain detailed information from the Military Headquarters on the Oviado tragedy. Judging from the map, Oviado is far from the 441st Division station. When attacked by the dark creatures, Oviado sends a distress signal to everyone around him. The 441st Division arrived very late, beyond the scheduled time. All the people here are civilians, unarmed, slaughtered by dark creatures, and corpses are everywhere. ”

Avril also walked over and picked up her own camera equipment from the hovercar. She set up the camera directly on the ground, turned on the automatic shooting program, and stood in front of the camera, with her back to the mountains of dead remains behind her, and talked eloquently.

"According to statistics, only a small number of survivors of Oviado survived. They have seen the tragedy happen and have fought against the creatures of darkness. The disparity in numbers was too great, and all dark creatures were born warriors. The dead that remained at the scene were only a small fraction of the total number of citizens of Oviado. There are many people who have been brought back to the dark world. They became trophies and were either eaten or turned into slaves. We can't help but ask: why did this happen? Hasn't the Emperor ** team been guarding us all the time? When these victims were brutally killed, what was the emperor ** team doing? ”

"This is a tragic tragedy."

Huang Weiguang, a reporter from the Daily of the Liberty, walked up to the camera and said seriously: "We have all seen the cruelty and tyranny of dark creatures, but no one has come forward to take responsibility for this." Everyone is well aware that the borders of the empire are fraught with danger, why even set up cities in such places? What about the army? Where were the soldiers who were touted as the bravest when Oviado was attacked? And what about our powerful armored forces? What about our award-winning workhorses? Shouldn't they be the ones who are on the front lines of the battle and protect us? ”

"While mourning and weeping for the victims, we should hold those responsible accountable."

Avril remotely controlled the camera, switched the camera to the holographic screen in the hand of the man in black, pointed to Konoha Town, which was located in the south direction of Oviado, and said in a cold and very demagogic tone: "Here, it is the closest military fortress to Oviado City. As long as it is on the border map officially released by the empire, you can find the location of this small town called "Konoha". The "Iron Warriors" legion has set up a whole combat team here. It was a defensive fortress strong enough for any pretender to dispel evil thoughts once and for all. Just when Oviado was attacked, Konoha Town did not send a single reinforcement. Here's what we've just gotten from survivors. They sent out a distress signal, but they didn't get an answer or help from Konoha Town. Then, the whole city turned into hell. ”

Locks' voiceover came from outside the screen: "Don't be so arbitrary, the main army is the cornerstone of protecting the empire." They will definitely not sit idly by and watch Oviado be attacked. Perhaps, something happened at that time that we didn't know about. ”

"What could be more important than the task of protecting the civilians of the Empire?"

Although it was a pre-rehearsal move by the three reporters long before they set off, Avril's angry and sarcastic tone was far beyond the best of the exercise: "They were so close to Oviado, but they didn't send a single reinforcement all the time. Creatures of darkness have gone on a killing spree here, taking tens of thousands of civilians with them. No excuse can be used to sit back and watch a city be ruined by dark creatures. Each of us has parents, and the pain of dying is not just for others. How would you react if it was your own loved one who was killed in Oviado for the same reason? Do you still think that this qiē is normal? ”

"You're too extreme."

Huang Weiguang's voiceover also came from the communication channel, which was full of manly tone: "The Emperor ** team is not a police force that can be mobilized at will. They have a lot of responsibilities and many of their affairs are confidential. Especially in terms of duties, many secrets are definitely not known to ordinary civilians, and can never even be made public. Every main legionary soldier is worthy of respect, and they are the most trusted subordinates under the emperor's command. Believe me, Oviado's tragedy was just a serendipitous accident. Even if they give up and sit idly by, there must be a reason for it. ”

"Can all evils escape punishment by saying guò?"

Avril's words had turned into a storm. Her whole body was shaking, the muscles of the hands holding the microphone were tense, and the voice and speed of speech were unbearable: "I never wanted to question the Imperial Affairs Department, but we also need the openness and transparency of the Oviado incident. The reinforcement of the 441st Division of the Wehrmacht was slow and slow, and the subordinate regiments of the "Iron Warriors" turned a blind eye to it. Why exactly? Is it that the lives of civilians seem so small to you? Do you really feel that this is not the need for attention? So what are we? A little man who simply obeys orders and power? Or is it garbage that can be discarded under any circumstances? The Emperor is above, and we need to know the truth about the Oviado tragedy. Look at the dead heads in the snow, can't you still feel the anger from the dead? ”

This is the end of the information recording. It can be seen that Avril has put absolutely effort into this, and both the effect and the fierce rhetoric have far exceeded expectations. Everyone, especially the leader of the men in black who was standing by and watching this qiē, was very satisfied with this. He clapped his hands, walked up to Avril's, and said encouragingly, "Ma'am, you will become the best field correspondent in the history of the Empire." With this video, you can be nominated for the highest journalism award, and even win the grand prize. ”

The flush on Avril's face was slowly receding, and she gulped and said modestly, "I just did what I was supposed to do." I never thought about it that much, I just wanted to do something for those who were already dead. ”

Of course, she knew that these men in black had extremely deep backgrounds. Of course, the specific identity is not very clear, only that they belong to some powerful and powerful person. According to what they said at the time, the tragedy of Oviado should be known to every citizen of the Empire, and everyone should be able to see the threat of the dark world clearly. Of course, behind this, there are more questions worth pondering. What exactly is the official's? Or is the army greedy for life and afraid of death? In short, Oviado has been reduced to flesh and blood, and people have the right to know the truth, and they must dig up all the filthy secrets buried deep in the darkness and expose them to the sun.

Regardless of the real purpose of these men in black and the big people behind them, at least, in the matter of Oviado, what they did should be on the side of the general public. It is precisely because of this consideration that Avril chose to cooperate, and used the sharpest words to complete the impact recording.

……

Soon, a fierce dispute erupted in the Empire's inner realm over the massacre of the city of Oviado.

Yes, this is no longer an ordinary dark creature attack. Instead, it evolved into an important incident of indifference and refusal of the imperial top brass and the imperial ** team when civilians were brutally killed. In all the relevant media reports, the "Oviado tragedy" has been used as the first rank.

"More than 50,000 civilians have died in a horrific way, and the Forest of Flesh is shocking. Where are our troops? Where is the main legion? ”

"Those high-ranking officials must be held accountable for this. We must disclose the whereabouts and use of every copper coin we pay. We are taxpayers, and we have the means to check the accounts. ”

"Those involved in the Oviado tragedy must be held accountable. Why don't they send troops? Why not send reinforcements to Oviado? If they had gone, things wouldn't have turned out like this. But they didn't, they chose to be spectators and indifferent. The 50,000 dead, plus those taken by the dark creatures, have totaled more than 150,000. ”

Numbers are constantly fermenting in rumors over and over again. Although the number of registered residents of Oviado is only a few tens of thousands, this number is increasing every day due to repeated media publicity. Initially, the increase was only in the hundreds. Now, it has become thousands per day. 100,000, 150,000, 200,000...... They are magnified exponentially like a snowball. Until now, the highest number listed by the media has exceeded 500,000. Even the most serious and serious media outlets tend to hover around 200,000 when it comes to the number of Oviado's victims.

Konoha Town, Commander's Office.

The holographic screen on Su Hao's desk was open, revealing Dai Xiaolou's figure on it.

"See! This is the most striking example of the aristocratic lords manipulating the media behind their backs. They are good at muddying the water and then fishing in troubled waters. Although we all know that this is not the case, people are willing to believe lies and turn a blind eye to the truth that lies before them. ”

"What the hell are they trying to do?"

Su Hao asked calmly, "Want to get my space domain?" Or do you want to remove me from my position as commander of a combat team? ”

"Huh! The position of the commander of the combat team? ”

Dai Xiaolou sneered: "You also think too highly of the abilities of these guys. It is impossible for them to influence the affairs of the Legion. This is beyond the power they can meddle in. We are only at the behest of the Emperor, and the nobles are at most able to exert pressure on us in terms of other interests. In this regard, they can do nothing. ”

Su Hao said seriously: "I will not give up that space. If anyone really wants to do it all over again, like the Clements, I wouldn't mind killing them more, or just killing them. ”
