Chapter 59: Thoughts

On Nyusar, an unprecedented mechanized forced march is unfolding.

It was Rosen and Colonel Philip who carried out this forced march. Their goal is simple – to traverse a total of 87 miles in the shortest amount of time, through a variety of terrains including normal hardened roads, dirt roads, farmland, and wasteland. and to preserve combat units as much as possible, with the aim of engaging in urban anti-armor operations as soon as they arrive in Albin-au-Arbin.

This is the first time this kind of combat mission has appeared in the human realm - after all, even a steam knight cannot complete such a long-distance crossing mission in one go.

This team, which was put together by Dussand's Belford Automobile Factory, is completely in line with Dussand's vision of a "mechanized force". Although it is still very imperfect in terms of configuration, the convoy of at least 42 tanks, 94 heavy 10-wheeled trucks, and 14 "anti-armor flat-fire guns" converted from three-inch naval guns is indeed a formidable force to ignore.

After receiving Dussand's letter, Rosen did not hesitate to order all his armed security guards to turn around and prepare to support Dussaint at full speed.

As the supreme commander of the Army to receive the equipment, Colonel Philip was very opposed to such an act at first. After all, for an Imperial soldier, it is absolutely impossible to return the equipment that has been received by the army to the manufacturer - not to mention that the manufacturer still has to use these valuable equipment to fight!

Although the pioneer nobles have a certain amount of military power, they are not so bullying!

Determined to put an end to this lawless crime, Colonel Philip stepped forward and angrily denounced the actions of Rosen and others as "lawless rebellion" and "bound to bring great calamity to their masters."

Philip's righteous actions prevented the damage to the empire's assets, and upon learning of the heinous terrorist attack on Upper Albin, Colonel Philip decisively issued a directive for everyone to immediately turn to Upper Albin to "assist the authorities in restoring order".

With a bruised and hematomous right eye, the righteous Colonel Philip led the team to Albyn Albin, and pinpointed Dussand, who was still in Syntagma Square.

"It's serious." After sending away the righteous Colonel Philip, Dussaint found Rosen and said solemnly, "Do you have the courage to rebel?" ”

"I thought we were defending His Majesty the Emperor." Rosen looked at the mountain of corpses and blood in Constitution Square, and asked in a low voice, "These people were all killed by you, master?" ”

"The Church, on Alfred's orders, carried out an indiscriminate slaughter of all the poor people of Newsard—see for yourself, these unarmed people are just ordinary people...... They were killed by the steam knights of the church. ”

Rosen glanced at the corpses, then nodded—a few dozen armed security guards and tanks alone certainly couldn't have caused such a tragic situation.

"So to sum it up...... His Majesty the Emperor has finally gone mad. Rosen sighed, "Although I have never had any reverence for the emperor, this kind of ...... It's a little too exciting. ”

can use "stimulation" to describe such corpses everywhere, and Rosen himself is indeed very strong in enduring. At least he's more powerful than Dusson, whose first reaction is to be angry rather than "okay, that's exciting."

Rosen also realized that Dussand's concept seemed to be "different" from his own, and he thought for a moment and explained, "Sir, you are a very great nobleman, and I must have told you this many times. ”

"I'll ......talk about it later," Dusson wanted to focus on the current "predicament", but Rosen insisted on continuing, "I may not have made it clear enough before, but you are actually not quite the same as the Imperial nobles we know—not even the Imperial people. ”

"We have long been accustomed to the 'excitement' of life from birth to death. Death, like birth, is a natural thing. "We can't stop death, so we don't care much about it." This is true of the commoners themselves, and even more so of the nobles...... Sir, before you, I have never seen a nobleman who cares about the life or death of a commoner who has nothing to do with him. ”

"You're not like other nobles, and you're not like us commoners." Rosen put down the rifle he was carrying on his shoulder and said to Dussand, "In the courthouse, I just wanted to find a buyer who seemed to be easier to get into, and quickly bought my family's steam lathe." But I met a man with a noble heart, who would not hesitate to help me, and even saved my family. ”

"Master, if you were to ask me to kill my own family, I would definitely resist. At your command, I might just choose to shoot myself in the head. Rosen smiled at Dussand, "But if it's just a rebellion, I don't have any opinion." Anyway, the emperor ...... such a thing."

Rosen spat at the ground, "What does it have to do with us Newsals?" ”

The first order given by the newly appointed archbishop Gutierrez went awry in the process of being executed.

Feuerbach ran.

Strictly speaking, Feuerbach did not act with the people of the church from the beginning, and he left the church premises with his men on the grounds that "I need to instruct the other senior managers to open up the landing ground".

And what angered Gutierrez the most was another piece of news.

"What do you all eat?!" Archbishop Gutierrez angrily patted his steam knight's breastplate, "Twenty-seven people, even a woman who was knocked unconscious can't look at it?!" ”

"Your Majesty, Director Feuerbach is here with your hand." The two bishops bowed their heads and said, "It has your seal on it, and I ask to take away Lady Androni......"

"He only took Androni?" Now, no matter how angry it is, it will be in vain. Gutierrez resisted his fury and asked, "What about the other captives?" ”

"Everyone else is still there." "The director only took Lady Androni with him. ”

Several bishops were dismissed, and Gutierrez sat back with a gloomy face. There can be no doubt that Feuerbach's actions were premeditated. Whether it's capturing Androni, or handing her over to yourself, or tricking people out of the way now...... From the beginning to the end, Feuerbach's actions had little to do with "cooperation".

This seemingly obese and imbecile director has always had his own plans.

The Lord Dussand, although he didn't usually come to church, but when he did, he would definitely be with Duchamp and Andronie.

He values his family very much. This is Gutierrez's first impression of Dusander. He was conscientious and kind, and in the face of erroneous colonial officials, Dussart was furious like an old landowner who had been owed rent by his tenants.

This is a person who takes family very seriously, and is very bad at hugging – or not caring much about "politics". The Lord had taken a rampaging posture before he took charge of Newsar Aika. And after the emperor issued a purification order...... His rampage would have been more direct, I'm afraid.

If anything happens to Androni, Gutierrez is confident that the Lord will turn the whole of Newsar into a complete slaughterhouse - which is not in line with his goals.

Gutierrez firmly believes in the core values of the Church, and His Majesty the Emperor is certainly supreme, but ...... The one sitting in the Olympian City now is not the real Emperor Majesty.

According to the canons and doctrines of the Church, man was born into this world to repay the "toil" of the gods for creating mankind by suffering. But because "God loves the world", he sent his most beloved son to mankind, and this "God Son" became the imperial family.

The gods rule, protect, and guide all mankind through the Emperor.

Gutierrez, on the other hand, doesn't have much of an opinion about the core values of the church, he just has some unique understandings of his own.

The Emperor's duty is to rule, protect, and guide all mankind. Then, it is natural that a purification order issued to his own people is not a qualified emperor.

The world is already full of suffering, and God's most beloved Son has not changed that. But the gods can't be wrong, and the only one who can go wrong can be the sons of the gods - perhaps the royal family is fundamentally something that shouldn't exist.

It is more of a theological, symbolic act for God to send His beloved Son to earth to experience the suffering of the world with others. By sending the Son of God into the crowd and bearing the suffering with ordinary people, God forgave the "debts" that humans should have paid to themselves. And what people who have been forgiven should do is no longer to suffer suffering, but to put down their burdens and live freely and happily. So as to be grateful to the gods for their forgiveness.

Such a theological concept cannot be said to be shocking, but can only be described as "deviant". And Gutierrez knows how much trouble his theology can cause him. So he chose a more "safe" approach—he never revealed his thoughts to anyone, except to those he trusted and would never tell the truth.

After smashing his teacher in the head with his fist, Gutierrez decided to translate his theological views into practical ideas. He believed that the meaning of the church should be to bring a better life to all, not to sing the praises of royalty. And in order to implement his ideas on Nyusar, first of all, he needs to get Dussand's approval.

After a long silence, Gutierrez called his cronies.

"I need you to find Dussand, and give him my letter." Gutierrez's aco-theologist to his good friend, who also shared the same theological philosophy, advised, "Don't be angry, no matter how insulting the other person insults you." You must tell him that his mother has been kidnapped by Feuerbach and that we are trying to find and rescue His Excellency the Speaker. ”
