Dussander looked at the tired and weak armed security guard in front of him, and his heart was anxious and angry.

To be sure, after a team has suffered more than 50% casualties, it is impossible to keep their morale high. But Dussaint had to find a way to get the armed security guards, who had seen blood for the first time, and now looked back and were trembling all over their bodies.

The red-clad postmen, who hurried to Sunset Square, brought bad news.

Massacres of a similar nature to those of Upper Albin broke out in all of the sixteen major cities of Newsar. The Red Postmen were devastated, though the Steamrider armor they were equipped with was far inferior in terms of defense and endurance to the active equipment of the Imperial Army used by the Heraldic Administration. But with the numerical superiority of the church, the two or three steam knights equipped by the red-clothed postmen everywhere were really not enough.

Not only were the Red Postmen in other regions unable to be summoned to Upper Albin to assist in the eradication of the Church, they could not even defend themselves—the Church was attacked in many places, and they had an absolute advantage in numbers. As soon as the red-clad postmen left the post office to go out to save people, they were attacked by the church.

Aika was puzzled, they thought that the church probably rebelled against the empire, which is why they did this kind of thing. But the Church's mode of action did not support Aika's judgment at all—they were only concerned with killing people, and completely ignored the suppression of the powerful institutions up and down Newsar. Whether it's police stations, post offices, navy and army stations, the clergy seem to have no one at all.

Dussart knew what the bearded men were up to, but he couldn't tell us the fact that the empire had betrayed us, and the emperor himself ordered us to kill half of the population of Newsar to force us to rebel.

Although the loyalty of every qualified citizen of the Empire to the Empire is quite limited, this loyalty is one of the pillars that support the work and life of the Imperial Colonial Office and others.

The fact that the colony was attacked and suddenly learned that it was His Majesty the Emperor who gave the order would have caused chaos for at least an hour on the many armed security guards, naval commandos, and army forces in Newsar.

Such a mess is something that Dussaint must do everything in his power to avoid now.

The church is a behemoth, and its manpower and power are immeasurable. Obviously, the other party did not even bother to stop the killing or discount the Emperor's orders - they would kill every resident of Newsar that appeared in front of them until they were stopped or killed.

In order to stop such killings as soon as possible, Dussaint must keep all his soldiers motivated and morale-high, and any news that might affect morale needs to be controlled.

But you have to get them moving. Dussander spun around several times in a hurry, and then suddenly had an idea.

"Comrades, I just received a notification from Aika." Dussaint turned to the tired armed security guards and said with a nervous expression, "There are two teams of steam knights from the church heading towards us, and we will be there in about ten minutes!" ”

The word "comrades" was coined by Dussand, the root of the word is "comrades-in-arms", the prefix is the prefix of "brother", and the end of the word is the end of "ism".

The pronunciation of the word that Dussander had urgently concocted sounded somewhat like "Tavarixi", and although the armed guards did not particularly understand the meaning of the word, they could still understand Dussand's words.

"We have no other choice now, we have to leave the square right away." Dussaint shouted to the armed security guards, "The next destination is Syntagma Square, where we must get there as quickly as possible and quickly destroy all the enemies that may remain in Syntagma Square." Subsequently, the position was cleared and the arming began. ”

"I know you're all tired, but for the sake of your own lives, I must ask you, stand up at once, and set off with me." Dussart was doing everyone's ideological work sincerely, after all, he wasn't lying—Aika did spot signs of the Steam Knight's activity outside the city, but the other party wasn't necessarily heading towards Sunset Square.

"Comrades, I understand, you are all tired." Dussaint sighed, he called a steam knight of Ekka, and then stood on its shoulder and shouted, "Look at the comrades around you who have died, why did they die?" They are here to save your lives, to avenge the deaths of those who died in the square! With the best of intentions, they put down their work and went to the square to pray for their dead compatriots...... And then they were slaughtered! ”

Dussander slashed his throat and angrily asked, "They are no different from your relatives - they are working hard to provide a better life for their families in this damn world." With the kindness in their hearts, they decided to take a break from work to mourn those who died. Just like your family and relatives...... Among them, there may be acquaintances you just passed by in the morning, your relatives and friends, and even your family! ”

Dussand's roar grew louder and louder, and the already tired armed security guards and the red-clad postman with a lost expression gradually had some light in their eyes.

"I don't know if my parents are safe now, I don't know if my friends are safe." When he said this, Dussaint felt a little pain in his heart, not because he had a bad conscience, but because he ...... Dussander was indeed unsure of the safety of his parents.

If it was just one or two steam knights who were doing the assault, then there would certainly be no problem with the safety of Androni and Duchamp. But...... There are at least sixty Steam Knights in Sunset Square alone...... That's more than Dussaint expected.

Now, Dussart is really panicking — he doesn't know where his parents are or if they're safe. What's worse is that he can't even confirm that Duchamp and Androni are safe.

Dussand's entire team was still extremely tight, reinforced by the Red Postman and their Steam Knights, and the whole team was no more than seventy men, plus three Steam Knights and two tanks.

With such a force, it is still difficult to protect itself, and it is simply impossible to continue to expand the results of the war.

"We're heading straight to Syntagma Square, and I'll send two red-clad postmen to continue to fight for our aid." Dussander shouted to the armed security guards and red-clad postmen around him, "Don't let your comrades waste the gains you earned with your own deaths...... All of them! ”

Dussander shouted, and all the soldiers around him stood up straight, "Here! ”

"Count the ammunition, clear the guns, and set off with me in half an hour!"

"We should retreat at noon tomorrow." His Excellency sat down in his seat with a white linen in one hand, pressing his forehead with a white linen in one hand. He looked at the bishop, who was kneeling respectfully in front of him, and said, "Where has the fleet gone?" ”

"The fleet should arrive at the target location late this night." The bishop bowed his head and said, "The director of the mining complex assured me that the fleet would arrive at the coordinates on time. And he will board the ship with us and evacuate. ”

The archbishop did not answer immediately, he glanced at his favorite student, and then said leisurely, "God says that the grudge buried in the heart will eventually become only a poison that poisons loyalty. ”

The bishop was silent for a moment and then said, "Your Excellency, this director from the Mining Consortium...... He's not very reliable. ”

"We just need to be loyal to Your Majesty, and the loyalty of others is not something we need to consider." The archbishop lifted himself with difficulty, revealing the white linen he pressed against his forehead and said, "We only need to carry out the orders of His Majesty the Emperor, and that will be enough." ”

There was a large patch of blood on the archbishop's forehead, and his skull, about the size of a palm, was directly missing. The brain tissue inside is directly exposed to the air.

When the purification operation began in Sunset Square, the seventy-two-year-old archbishop rushed into the crowd first. But his actions were blocked by "coincidence". An armed security guard from Newsar fired a shot at the archbishop.

This bullet should not have had any effect on the Steam Knight. But as God said, even the smallest probability can happen. After crossing a distance of more than two hundred yols, this bullet accurately hit the lower edge of the eye opening in the Archbishop's Steam Knight's visor.

The bullet was fired at the lower edge of the eye opening, and then, at an extremely tricky angle, opened the skull of His Excellency the Archbishop. But unfortunately, the archbishop is still alive.

The bearded bishop glanced at his teacher, then lowered his head again.

"Gustavo Gutiérrez." The archbishop called out the names of his students, and he said with some amazement, "I have a hunch that God is opening his arms to my death. There are hundreds of thousands of people in the entire Nyusar Church, and you will soon be needed to lead them forward. ”

"Teacher, we are on a path that is doomed to the wrong place." After a long silence, Bishop Gutierrez looked at the archbishop and said, "His Majesty the Emperor is also human. And the people ...... Mistakes are bound to be made. ”

"And God knows, my child." The archbishop's eyes gradually lost focus, and he whispered, "God will give His Majesty the Emperor a warning and reminder in time." ”

"This warning and reminder...... Sometimes it goes through other hands. Bishop Gutierrez said quietly to his teacher, "For example, we loyal servants. ”

The archbishop had lost the strength to answer, and he reached out to his disciple to say something more.

"Teacher, if there are only warnings and reminders, it is not enough to wake up the emperor who has made a big mistake." Bishop Gutierrez stood up and brushed his hands into the archbishop's eyes, "His Majesty the Emperor needs a more direct lesson and reminder - if we can't wake him up, maybe it's time to confirm that God's favor is still focused on the royal family." ”

Gutierrez raised his hand and slammed his fist into the dead archbishop's skull. By the time he drew his fist, his hand had been cut with several bloody wounds from his skull.

"Grab Feuerbach and break his limbs if he dares to resist." Gutierrez called his cronies and without hesitation gave his first order as Archbishop of Newsal, "Send a letter to the heraldic administration and tell them that we intend to surrender on the premise of ensuring the safety of all the Church." ”
