Chapter 681: Confrontation
The defeat of the scout did not give the Helgra coalition the confidence to capture the temple of Gunk.
In the words of the High Priest of the Temple of the Sun, Sekenm, "There is no existence in the Land of Refuge that can resist the wrath of the Loa gods." ”
Yes, the entire place of refuge exists because of the protection of the gods, and if it can be sheltered, it can naturally be destroyed.
It is precisely because Rohan understands this truth that he has devoted himself to construction after taking office, and he has not even seen anyone.
Gunk was intrigued by Rohan's caution, reminding him that "the sanctuary will collapse into a big hole, and this will destabilize the whole sanctuary, which is already the last resting place for natural creatures, and those people know it." ”
Rohan said: "I think I still have a say in how low the cruelty of mortals is. Believe me, in addition to their desire to survive, they also have the urge to destroy, and they can give selflessly or by any means. ”
Rohan stubbornly believes that his speculation is more likely to happen, and those powerful people can't calmly face the fact of defeat, and they will carry forward the spirit of not thinking about it if I die, and they will not hesitate to let the entire city-state be buried with them.
So, when Rohan learned that the coalition scouts had failed miserably, he had Semia gather the priests, the samurai, and administrators like Daga.
"I'm sorry I met with you in such a way. Composed of countless fine points of light, and constantly shining like a diamond under the light, Rohan faced the middle and high-level people gathered together, and talked eloquently:
"Although I don't like it myself, after thinking about it, I still feel obligated to explain some things to everyone in person. Of course, you have the right not to believe. ”
"Like a rare treasure in a diamond mine that has the slightest chance of spawning the Heart of the Mountains, I was born extraordinary. ”
Rohan wasn't lying, he wasn't Kane, he was an echo of Kaneson's Split Soul, born with some strange traits and a highly information-rich spirit.
"Gunk took a fancy to my closeness to nature and made me the guardian of the sacred beast Kaka. You may have heard the concept of a guardian for the first time, but I think it's not difficult to understand, it is literal, overseing, protecting, not beast slave or shoveler. ”
"The High Priest Sakin got the concept wrong and paid with his life. He thought that I had only become powerful by the thighs of the gods, and tried to kill me by severing my contractual relationship with Kaka, weakening my combat power, and then seizing control of Kaka. ”
"Turns out ......," Rohan said, pointing at a priest from afar, and saw a set of golden symbols emerge from the obsidian-deep, glassy-surfaced dark floor beneath the priest's feet, which were connected end to end to form a ring, enclosing the priest in it.
The encircled floor quickly glowed, like a floor lamp, and a soft golden light shone through. The priest was illuminated by this light, and suddenly snorted, and a dark green light appeared from his body, as if he was protecting, and as if resisting the erosion of golden light.
Those present looked at each other, but no one spoke.
Rohan's spell seemed to be incomprehensible, but the effect was straightforward, forcing out the true divine power possessed by the priest.
And this dark green, emanating gloomy divine power, is the panther god Besek.
Obviously, this is a convert, whether he has recently changed his faith or a long time ago, lurking in the Gongke Temple to do two or five boys, it is difficult to say, after all, looking at the characteristics of his divine power, vigorous and stable, and has been well disguised before, this is not like the level that can be achieved by recent conversions.
Rohan said to the priest, "For more than two days and nights, I gave everyone a choice, and you chose to do the eyeliner. I'm not interested in the reasoning, I only measure right and wrong by facts. If you choose to be our enemy, you will pay for it. I know you have a family, and I'll give them a chance to go back and if they're devout Gonkers, they need to personally apply a vicious curse to you to prove their devotion to God and their disdain for what you've done. If they love you more, I will let them go and endure the ordeal with you until the payment of the debt to God is completed, or before that time it is worn away. ”
During Rohan's sentence, the priest bared his teeth and looked like he was struggling to the death, then he was shocked and angry, and finally he was left with tears in his eyes.
Rohan did not allow him to speak, and sinners like him had no right to plead, let alone roar and speak in public. Just like Rohan said at the beginning, more than two days and nights, let the people here make a choice, and since he chose to lurk as another eyeliner, he is determined to be the enemy of Rohan and his family, then there is nothing to say. Kane is not a good man, and he is ruthless with his enemies.
Seeing that the priest was hiding so deeply, they were all exposed and tortured, and there were people in the crowd who couldn't hold it back, and 4 people jumped up one after another, 3 of them suddenly shot out with a tacit understanding, and launched a blow to the light and shadow of Rohan, and the other was after the 3 people shot, the soles of their feet were oiled and wanted to slip.
Of course, you can't run away, the temple of Gunk and the transformation of Rohan into a natural fortress, Rohan's will can extend to every corner of the fortress, this strange light and shadow is the best proof, how can life in the fortress not be subject to him?
With just a finger, the corresponding spell is activated, as simple as the switch of a light, a simple command authorization, and the spell itself is generated and emitted by the core stone of the Nature Fortress (a magical version of artificial intelligence).
This time, it was all temple warriors who were stationed.
Rohan said, "You have traded your oath of faith for training opportunities in the temple. Now, on behalf of Gunker, I am collecting the debt according to God's covenant. I decree that your bodies will be a cage for your souls, and you will be infused into golems until your souls wither or are destroyed by external forces. ”
Semia looked at these samurai with a complicated expression, among the three samurai who failed to attack Rohan's light and shadow, two of them usually behaved more peacefully, and the three of them did not show a closeness that was obviously different from other samurai, but they didn't expect that at the critical moment, there was such a tacit understanding, and they didn't use any body language to secretly communicate with each other, and they could break out at the same time.
As for the slippery one, he usually behaves very positively, and he is one of the seed candidates he intends to promote to deputy, but he didn't expect it to be a ghost.
In the past, he had always been relatively pure in the samurai, obsessed with war, swords, and jobs, pursuing honor and loyalty to faith.
Outcome......
Other priests and samurai are not as 'free' as Senma. At the very least, Semia can still feel sad here, and these priests and warriors are afraid that Rohan will settle on their heads.
Although it was just a few hands that seemed to be displayed casually, in the eyes of these people, it was a sharp mess, and the name of the divine envoy was completely secure.
There are a few calm kung fu who have not practiced at home, and they have already had direct performance, either their faces are sweaty, their foreheads, sideburns and nose are full of fine sweat, or they are trembling and trembling there......
Rohan looked at it, but ignored it. The theme of the rally he convened this time was not to judge and kill the heads in a serious and quick manner, but to remind these people that the war was imminent, and the other was to make an example of a hundred people, and deal with a few people who were determined to do it against the new group with him as the core, and if they really had to be held accountable one by one, then basically no one could be used.
Although these priests, samurai, and believers did not account for much of his overall division of power, they still had the value of proper management. Because they can bring Gunk profits to the faith, and when Gunk gets the benefits, according to the agreement, he will share a part of the power and use it for the projects he designates.
From this point of view, the biggest difference between him and the priests of the past is that when he uses the divine power of the gods, he is negotiable, not forced. But if you really want to dig deeper, does Gunke agree to the current distribution plan, without the slightest hint of the alliance under the city, and he doesn't have the slightest intention of taking advantage of the danger of others?
So to put it mildly, this is a wrestling war between the new king and the old vested interests, and the essence is not noble or progressive.
After ferociously punishing several typologies on the spot, Rohan gets to the point.
The key points can be summarized simply, just a few sentences:
This time, I'm afraid we'll have to fight to the end with the magnates and temples of Helgra. It's a bit early to talk about winning or losing, but it's not too early to talk about how much to lose and how much to win, and it's a question of 'more wins, less wins, and nothing counts!'. Everyone understands this reason, but there are some situations that you may miss, such as the possibility that Helian (the Helgra Elite Temple Consortium) may magnify and kill the Gongk Temple.
Naturally, the people present listened in a bit of a fog. I don't understand the concept of pit killing.
Then Rohan reveals the brutal truth: the world has been ruined and only the most superficial shell remains.
At the end of the original history arc of the Pandaria Mystery, the brave and fearless heroes of Azeroth defeat the Mogu Emperor Thor, and in the vault of his palace, meet one of the nine guardians who have lost their fighting spirit and been imprisoned, Lydon.
Lydon said a few meaningful words, among which were 'Beneath this earth, there is an endless deep darkness, and no one can overcome it.' ’
Knowing that the heroes defeated Lydon, Lydon did not retract this prophecy, but said that you are now at least qualified to face the deep darkness.
So what exactly does Lydon mean by deep darkness?
In Kane's view, it is nothing more than distorting the void.
As the old saying goes, a fortified city is always breached from within.
When the Guardians imprisoned and sealed the Elder God and Enraki in the inner plane, it was not a good way. Kane even suspected that this world was one of the kind of endings in Azeroth's infinite future, swallowed by the void from the inside out.
And this hypothesis has become almost certain as more and more information is gathered.
In other words, the Zendara Islands are nothing more than sand castles built on thin ice at the top of the abyss, which can not only be blown away by strong winds, washed away by waves, or destroyed by reckless force, but can also be directly dug up by more technical means and fall into the abyss.
It's still quite difficult to avoid such a reckless lore.
