Chapter 48: Convincing the Survivors
As Tesla's mutilated body was thrown under a cliff, the survivors of Tesla City gathered.
"Come back to New London with us, and all who are alive are precious in the last days."
Li Jianghao held the hilt of the holy sword, if these people were unwilling to go with him, he could only release the power of the holy sword to convince these survivors.
Brian took advantage of the silence of the people and suddenly said:
"He's not lying, but you can try to get back to London. The dreadnought ships that brought us were docked at the seashore, and the sea was not yet frozen. Go back to London, where you can only survive. ”
The rest of New London looked at Brian with a strange gaze, and Aaron found it even stranger.
They searched for Tesla City all the way, and they didn't know much about the situation of the London gang in the city, and originally thought that these people would be able to figure it out after the riots subsided.
How can there be a fool who is stubborn, not to mention whether the dreadnought can be restarted, it's just that London doesn't have an energy tower, and it is difficult for people to survive in it.
"Brian, you should know how hard it took the Empire to build these camps. It's not a no-brainer, we can only survive near the portal. If you send these people back to London, you're going to die. The hot lamps on their bodies weren't even enough for them to be active outside the cave for more than five hours! ”
Aaron's expression became stern, and he walked up to Brian and looked him directly.
Brian shrugged it off and said, "What do you know?" Being deceived by Richard and living in this small city is the life you want? Freedom is more precious than life! Bernard made it clear to me that the nobles who had sent the commoners away were living in the city of London for the rest of their lives, and that we must have to work in the snow and ice! ”
Li Jianghao was a little helpless, this guy was already stunned.
The more Brian spoke, the more energetic he became, and went straight to the survivors of Tesla City to explain the ideas of the London Gang to them.
He finished speaking impassionedly, only to find that the survivors' eyes were very strange, as if there was a hint of compassion.
"Bless this poor young man, O Queen. Son, London has fallen, and when we last hear from London, Her Royal Highness has died and the world is in chaos. We living in the polar regions are the last human beings. ”
The old worker, who had killed Tesla with his last breath, slowly walked out, looking compassionate, and people bowed their heads in silence to express their silence for Her Royal Highness.
Brian froze in place, according to the tradition of the Empire, no citizen could publicly publish false information about the Queen, no matter what.
"No, that's not true!" He yelled hoarsely, fear beginning to spread in his eyes.
A real fear of the very concept of the end of the world.
"The French built huge rail trains that went to the underground caves, hoping to survive with the help of geothermal energy. We could still hear the roar of their dreadnought ships a month ago, twenty days ago when the huge train had vanished into the depths of the snowfield. The Americans have been exploring the ice fields for a long time, and the extent of the mineral deposits in all our camps has been confirmed by their expeditions. Child, the end has come. ”
The old man walked over to Brian and stretched out his rough hand to soothe the out-of-control Brian.
The other survivors gathered silently, avenging their revenge, but with little hope of survival. Anyway, the end has come, and sooner or later they will be drowned in a blizzard and die.
As Li Jianghao expected, this man, who had been extremely resolute in believing Bernard's lies, would receive a huge impact and even lose hope of survival after the lies were broken.
Now, it's time to show yourself the magic stick, no, to show the miracle to awaken people's hope.
"Queen's people, the end has come, but we can survive it safely!"
Li Jianghao said loudly, raising the holy sword in his hand.
In the empire, there was a legend that the king pulled out the holy sword in the stone and saved people.
In the puzzled eyes of the survivors, huge flames surged from the jet-black holy sword.
The giant firebird spread its wings and came from the sky, skimming over everyone's heads.
The heat lamps of the survivors were about to go out, but when the firebird flew by, it was all filled with heat. The long-lost feeling of warmth covers them, warm, and makes people reluctant to think about superfluous things.
Li Jianghao smiled confidently and said proudly:
"THE SABER IS IN MY HAND, THE ANCIENT LEGEND OF THE HOLY RELIC, THE SWORD OF THE QUEEN, BESTOWED UPON THOSE WHO WILL LEAD YOU OUT OF THE COLD PLAGUE. This person is me! ”
The eyes of the survivors began to become a little wrong, and some even traditional people, even weakened their knees, and wanted to bow down and admire the miracle.
Li Jianghao didn't want the development of things to rush towards the line of faith, and prepared his next words:
However, this is not a gift from the gods, but a force that can only be activated by our human will to survive. There have never been gods or demons in this world, only the belief that people want to live. Just believe, and we can do anything. Our ancestors survived the Ice Age, surviving countless natural disasters. Now, do you want to be afraid, to run away? ”
"Those who oppress you have paid the price, and it is time to realize the meaning of existence, for yourself and for humanity. There has never been a savior, as long as you want to live, you are your own savior, and only you can save yourself! ”
The survivors of Tesla City trembled, something they had never heard before.
This man has miraculous powers, but he claims that he is not God's spokesman, but that he is letting them find the meaning of their existence. If Tesla had such power, I'm afraid no one would be able to resist his tyranny!
"We'll go back to New London with you, and the person who can tell us we can save ourselves must not be a bastard like Tesla. Yes, we want to live and work for it, that's all! ”
The people complied and packed their remaining bags before dark, headed to Tesla City for the night, and then headed for New London the next day.
Brian followed the crowd as if he had lost his soul, without saying a word.
The sacred sword has been extinguished and turned back to jet black.
Li Jianghao was at the front of the team, staring at the phantom that gradually appeared in Tesla City in front of him, thinking about what secrets there were in the underground of Tesla City.
The scales of the ice dragon in his arms were slightly hot, not at all as cold as those of his master.
Finally, before the sun had completely set, they made it to Tesla City.
The outpost has set up camp where the workers can rest.
Li Jianghao ate the heated food and began to look for the hollow entrance under Tesla City.
