Chapter 60: History II

Mistra is a neutral deity who is powerful, but generally focused on her duties, opening and managing the web, and has never liked to meddle in mortal power struggles. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info However, this does not mean that the goddess of magic does not have a temper, and when she is offended by transgressing the boundary, she will also angrily send down divine punishment.

The divine punishment prepared for Mu Ting soon came, but it did not befall him, but aimed at the Toguo Empire. The enraged Goddess of Magic thinks that the Torguo Empire is the source of all offense (in fact, Mystra feels that destroying Muting alone is not enough to vent her anger).

Mistra descended to the mortal realm, taking the posture of a sage (limited by the rules of the plane, he must reduce his power to an appropriate level, such as a sage, in order to walk on this plane), and incarnate into an earthly person.

She summoned all of her chosen people (the original twelve, one dead, and the remaining eleven) to appear outside the royal capital of Toguo. In groups of three, distributed in all directions, they laid out a huge magic circle. This circle has a name, Eternal Annihilation, which represents a forbidden spell that has never been heard of before.

Then, the Imperial Capital of Toguo disappeared.

A huge pillar of light that enveloped the entire city rose into the sky, shining with a dazzling light of white and blue, it swallowed all sounds, it lit up the whole sky, even the night was like day, it lasted for three days and three nights, and then it weakened and dissipated, it was a violent and orderly arcane energy, it brought the ultimate destruction.

No more people, no more animals, no more towering walls, no more undulating houses, all that remains is a boundless desert.

The destruction continues.

The second and third largest cities of the Toguo Empire have endured the same hand, and in just half a month, the core area of the Toguo Empire has turned into a barren land and continues to expand.

This is the origin of the Toguo Desert.

The situation of the war naturally took a turn for the worse, and the army of Toguo, having lost its roots, could not even withdraw, and they could only support themselves in the territory of Gretus. However, without reliable logistics, without qualified and sufficient reinforcements (the puppet army can be used, it must be unreliable), and any army can only grow weaker and weaker, even if it is commanded by Mutin Besik.

In fact, since the bad news spread in China, Mu Ting has never won a battle. His army has completely lost its morale, and even if he tries his best means, it will not be able to recover it. Mu Ting could already predict his end, because every commander knew that an army without morale had no future.

But Mu Ting did not collapse, he did not fall, he did not give up on himself, he was not willing to fail, he was still as fierce as a tiger to kill any enemy who dared to approach, even if he was just a wounded tiger and a sick tiger.

Mu Ting led the men and horses of Toguo's side to retreat, decisively abandoning most of his position and penetrating deep into the occupied areas with a high will to resist, shrinking his forces and gathering in the most elite cities.

On the contrary, the Gretels side, or the East side, is constantly growing. With his tireless efforts and charisma, Esther succeeded in mobilizing the people, and he led the gradually coalescing Resistance Army to the classic "People's War".

The accumulation of strength requires a process, although this process is quickly completed with the same heart. Finally, in the fourth year of the war, the Resistance was able to confront the invaders head-on. They are no longer unwilling to continue to carry out endless guerrilla attacks behind enemy lines, they have begun to plan a counteroffensive, they are eager to regain lost territory, they want to reorganize the mountains and rivers!

Easter's talent finally amazed the entire continent! Under his leadership, the Resistance Army won victory after victory. Enemy armies and fortified cities, under their ingenious and incomparable tactics, have all been transformed into medals symbolizing honor on the chests of the soldiers.

The final chapter of the Great Era, written on the Sunset Wasteland. Mutin Besik and Easter Swanp, the last dueling between the rivals, took place in this sad and desolate wilderness. Mutin wanted to break out of the siege with his remaining troops, while Esther and his resistance wanted to annihilate the Red Sun Guards, who had committed many crimes.

The battle lasted for several days, with rivers of blood, bones and wilderness, darkness and darkness. Facing the end of the road, Toguo's army erupted with amazing combat effectiveness, costing the Grest Resistance a huge price, but this was not enough. As fate would have it, the world-famous Red Sun Guards came to an end in this land called the Sunset Wasteland.

When the dust settled, the Toguo invaders were driven away, their country turned into history, and Gretes was restored. The pair of fateful rivals, Esther was touched to the altar, and Mu Ting disappeared without a trace, some say he died in the chaos, some say he was completely annihilated by the goddess of magic, some say he survived, hiding in an unknown corner of the continent.

The great era is over, and the situation in Gretas is just beginning to show.

The aristocracy, which had performed poorly (or simply badly) in the war, returned. This group of greedy and shameless people wants to get back everything that belonged to them before the war, and more. Of course, the plebeian class represented by Esther would not agree, and the nobles also knew that the other party would not agree, so a conspiracy quickly unfolded.

In the name of national reconciliation, the nobles invited the leaders of the Resistance to talks. The leaders of the Resistance led by Esther had to "readily" agree. The premise of the next meeting between the two sides was fiercely attacked and defended, and after three months, it ended with a great compromise of the aristocracy - the renunciation of privileges, the renunciation of all old assets.

All of this is part of the conspiracy.

In fact, the aristocrats did not set any limits on the premise of the talks, they never thought of the so-called reconciliation, they wanted bigger, more and more delicious benefits than before, the talks were only a means to achieve the end, and the offensive and defensive premises of the talks were a complete disguise from beginning to end.

This disguise is both to buy time and to paralyze the opponent.

If necessary, the nobles would accept any harsh condition, as long as it ensured that the talks would take place without a hitch. However, these conditions of extreme concession could not be easily granted, because the leaders of the Resistance on the other side were wise and wise men, and they could definitely see that there must be a terrible trap hidden in such an easy over-compromise. But if you let the other party fight for it and then pretend to be unwilling to agree, the situation will be different, and the other party will think that the "results" are earned by hard work......

The talks finally took place, even in the former capital of the Grest Empire under the control of the Resistance. Since then, the conspiracy has reached its climax - in fact, it is not complicated, it is just an assassination, and the nobles hope to be able to catch those hated resistance leaders, and then reach out and take them all.

In fact, the nobles almost succeeded, and with the help of traitors, this assassination at the palace achieved dazzling results. Most of the leaders of the Resistance were killed in what later became known as the "Maple Moon Incident" - six of the top generals were gone, only one of the seven generalissimos remained, and the Supreme Leader Easter was seriously wounded......

But the nobles did not succeed after all, and Esther remained.

War broke out again.

The aristocratic coalition that thought it was a sure way to win defeated everything with an unimaginable speed. They were beaten to the ground by what they saw as a devastated (and indeed is) Resistance, like a flock of sheep and lions battling, children and adults fighting, with stark contrasts and disparities in strength, and it was difficult to win from beginning to end.

As a result, the nobles, who were once again frightened, had to pick up the fine tradition of being good at running away again. But there are some things you can't forget to do when you run away-

Plunder! Plunder! Plunder!

The nobles carried out a series of unprecedented and inhumane raids on the areas along the way, "the earth trembled, the wind wept, and the gods hid their faces!"

The nobles who had committed such a crime were able to retreat with the vast amount of wealth that had come with them until they reached the other side of the Pitius Mountains, the only territory of the former Gretus Empire in the eastern part of the Pisius Mountains, the Ryden Peninsula. With the natural danger of the "roof of the world", this group of criminals finally held the only remaining territory.

In other words, excluding the Raidon Peninsula, the entire territory of the former Gretels Empire has fallen into the control of the Resistance, and it is only one step away from completing the great cause of recovering the entire territory. However, this last step made everyone in the Resistance, including Easter, hesitate.

Is it worth the unimaginable cost of crossing the towering "roof of the world" to the other side of the world to crusade against a group of evildoers and recover a piece of motherland territory of little value?

Righteousness and reality, where to choose?

After weighing, East, as the deciding man, reluctantly chose to give up, knowing that his companions and all the people could understand, but he still held on to it.

The world is decided, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be rebuilt, and the reform of the yuan system and the rebuilding of order has become the first thing. Thus, a new page was opened in history, the Grest Empire became ancient, and the Grest Republic stepped onto the stage of history.

Basically, most of the institutions of the new state were designed by Esther alone, but the novelty, completeness, rigor, and the spirit of equality and justice that they embody have amazed observers.

In Ye Guyun's opinion, this guy is likely to be a traverser like himself:

He abolished many feudal systems, hereditary, feudal, hierarchical... all systems that demonstrate privilege;

He turned the subject of national governance into an elected government;

He gave each city its own council, whose members were elected by the citizens;

He asked the council of each city to decide on the council of the province in which it was located, and the council of the province elected the national council;

He made a complete set of laws, which even Tyre, the god of justice, could not find faults, and which showed justice and justice to the greatest extent, and made the law above all else;

He made the government, parliament and courts independent, with mutual supervision and checks and balances;

He nationalized the army and ceased to be subordinate to private individuals;

He compiled a refreshing etiquette norm, with every sentence and every word, all shining with the same lofty theme: individual freedom;

......

Just hearing this, Ye Guyun felt that he was confused-

"This dog X's, isn't it called HSD in his previous life, no, no, no! This guy doesn't know where it is higher than the falling cherry god axe! He also made up a "ceremony"! I'm going to talk and laugh with Zhou Gong! HSDNaive!"

"Fairness and justice, the spirit of the rule of law, that's a roar!"

"You ask me if I'm in a posture, but of course I'm in a posture!"

"This is not hand-picked, but of course, the author's opinion is also very important..."

"You, patterns!"
