Chapter 59: Identifying Yourself
"Hey. ”
Leo rode on the horse, and with a horizontal slash, the knight's sword directly cut off the head of a giant insect in front of him, and the dark green juice suddenly splashed all over the horse's body.
"Wiped out. ”
A few minutes later, the soldier pulled his sword out of the body of the last bug and wiped the juice from it, and the human veteran naturally reported to his captain, Leo.
"Alright, let's move on. ”
From the separation of Black Cliff City to now, Leo has been running for seven days and seven nights in a row, and in order to reach Salk as soon as possible, the knight and his followers can be described as day and night, rain or shine. With the imminent split of Teletham and the threat of the Zerg lifted, power-hungry people are fighting to the death in the palace hall, and for this power struggle, the price of high-ranking assassins has even increased.
What a sad race, and its success or failure lies in it. Human beings have both a good and righteous side and an evil desire side. In extraordinary times, it may be possible to unite, but now that the threat is lifted, strife has inevitably begun, and Essalivan guessed correctly, as soon as the threat of the Zerg army is lifted, the commander-in-chief of the legion, Karen, is relieved of his position, returns to the farmland, and even lives a life of surveillance.
"You can't do this, the reason why the southern human kingdom can prosper is because of unity, when Alonso and Khradi were still alive, you swore allegiance to the king, but how come everything has changed after only half a year?"
By the time Leo and his followers rushed back to Salk and the city in the sky, the Human Council had fallen apart, and the three major forces had each formed their own group forces, and it was time to form a complete and legitimate government. Leo raised his arms in the lobby and shouted, hoping for unity, for peace, and not for division, but his voice was getting quieter, and people would not obey a knight who had no real power.
Even if he's a paladin......
"You're right, knight. But our king has no heirs, no princes, no allegiance, and where does it begin?"
Moraby, the largest of the tripartite faction, has spoken, and there are many nobles and knights who support him, and he also has the most assets among the tripartite forces, so if Teletham splits, Morabi will actually take most of the men with him.
"Even if Hradi does not leave an heir, unity can be strong, and the reason why the southern human race has today's strength and situation is because of unity. If you look at the north, the human race is divided and scattered, and if any race wants to invade, who can defend their homeland by those who call themselves lords and kings? ”
The more Leo spoke, the more excited he became, but the knight's words were also very reasonable, although in this society, in this era, people no longer listen to any reason......
There was silence.
"So let's not be independent. ”
Commodus, the representative of the other faction, spoke, the elder leader who was also an elder in the noble council, and most of the people who followed him were treacherous merchants, and he was also the least powerful of the three forces. But this thing is not independent only because he has his own calculations. But Leo doesn't know how a knight can stand up in the dark tide of politics, and what is the use of integrity in this era?
"You're right, Councillor Commodus, we must be united. ”
Leo was overjoyed to hear someone from the tripartite force say this, but he didn't know that it was just this cunning councillor using Leo's voice to create the illusion that he didn't want to split, and that everything was just for the good of Telletum. In that case, the civilian population will turn to him. But the nobles are well aware of the thoughts of this councilor, after all, they are mixed in it, and there are any means to confuse people, and most of the nobles know it.
Night Forest.
"You're really going after that demon?"
After being healed by Gelman, the wolf king Berbato gradually came to believe that the motives of Abdul-Jabbar and his party were so simple.
"Well, I vouch for the honor of my orc chieftain, the purpose of our trip is to hunt down demons. Nothing else. ”
Abdul-Jabbar stood up and said seriously, in fact, after going through so many ups and downs, Uncle Orc has indeed matured a lot, and is no longer so careless, and there are many things that you don't want to take on but have to bear.
"Orc Great Chieftain, are you Abdul-Jabbar?"
The wolf king and the werewolves around him were a little surprised. Abdul-Jabbar must have been a tall and mighty figure in their minds, at least three meters tall, covered in black plate armor and armed with a huge warhammer, as long as the target of his charge is bound to die. This is a legend to Abdul-Jabbar, but when the orc uncle reveals his true identity, the wolf king and his men are stunned, or at least disbelievable.
Because the orcs in front of him are not at all as rumored in the outside world, killing Skeletron, raiding the nest of the mother worm of Abaden, and single-handing the demon Kazmoz, this series of events is not something that an ordinary orc can do, so the legend of Jabbar in the outside world is becoming more and more magical, and it is even rumored that he has the body of a demigod, holds the weapon of a god, and his eyes can breathe fire......
"Well, you don't believe me?"
Seeing the wolf king's confused eyes, Jabbar asked solemnly.
"If you don't believe me, don't you believe in this hammer?"
Jabbar took the Storm Warhammer in one hand, and the Warhammer suddenly let out a wild whistling sound in Uncle Orc's hand. Weapons also know their masters, which is a strange phenomenon in this world, and Abdul-Jabbar never believed in it at first, but later, when the power of the stars gradually accepted him and only recognized him as his only master, Abdul-Jabbar believed in the rules of this world.
The huge and heavy storm hammer was easily lifted by the orc uncle, and it let out a wind-like roar, which already made those present shudder.
"It's not that I don't believe it, it's that you're so far from what we imagined. ”
The Wolf King knew that Abdul-Jabbar's words were true, because he knew the jewel, the power of the stars...... Ancient legends, werewolves and humans, elves in the era of peace, the power of the stars is a symbol of peace on many races on the ground, it gathers the wisdom and power of all races of creatures, only when demons or evil creatures from the outside world come, the power of the stars will be used, at that time, a respected and upright person, will have it, lead the alliance and tribes to fight against strong enemies, this is a legend, but it is also a real history.
