Chapter 479: Forward! Giants of the kingdom!
The success of the ancestors of the white bones in tackling the gene sequence made Thorn Mountain a symbol of the propaganda mission.
From time to time, other Redthorns came to learn from him.
"Brother Thorn Mountain, we go around promoting the benefits of genomics, but a lot of people in that city of Saniro don't listen at all, what should we do?"
"Brother Shan, Yancheng is not going well. Most people are more interested in the cultivation of Qianyuan Mountain, they feel that the gene sequence is useless, no matter how strong the gene sequence is, they will die in front of the black rose...... Look at my ......."
"Teacher Thorn Mountain, there are quite a few people here in the Blood Hill who have tried to activate genes, but the progress is slow. The local war cats are very cautious, and the pilot is very slow, and most of the blood clans are easy to burst and polarize, which is really a headache. β
β¦β¦
The preaching envoys complained one by one and talked about their own difficulties.
Thorn Mountain can't solve these problems, so they can only keep their patience and continue to persevere.
In fact, the promotion in the resurrection kingdom has not been smooth.
Not all Bone Ancestors have the same will and patience as the hero Sidar. To complete the gene activation, the poison stimulation is very painful and sometimes drives the person to the brink of death.
Unlike the death of the living and the ghost life, the death of the White Bone Ancestors is a complete extinction.
Although death is not a big deal in the Resurrection Kingdom, you can let yourself experience death again and again, and die and die, even the ancestors of the White Bone are unwilling.
But Thorn Mountain knew that it wouldn't be long before Genie Sequencing would usher in a stage to show its power.
Right next door, the Empire of the Two Snakes.
The higher-ups of the Resurrection Kingdom made a judgment, and it was only a matter of time before the two-handed empire fell into complete chaos and local division.
Today, the contradictions and antagonisms between the emperor and the elector cannot be alleviated.
The Emperor must remain in office to avoid the reckoning and revenge of the other Electors, who must overthrow the Emperor to avoid becoming the next Iron Duke.
Two years later, the Civil War broke out in the Twin Snake Empire.
The Elector Gunpowder Domain Commander drove straight in, led the army to cooperate with the Minister of Finance in the imperial capital and the deputy commander of the city defense army, broke through the layers of defense lines, broke into the palace and put the emperor under house arrest. On the grounds that the emperor was seriously ill, he informed the outside world that he had been appointed regent and had become a de facto usurper.
The gunpowder vassal directly tore his face, and the other electors declared their independence one after another.
With the exception of the Iron Dukedom, which had been co-opted into the Lordship of the Swamp, the King of the Thousand Islands, the Knight of the Highlands, the Lord of the Glacier, and the Earl of Spices, each of them raised their own armies, all of which refused to recognize the regent status of the Gunpowder Domain.
They identified the Gunpowder Domain as a regre, and condemned and crusaded.
In the chaos of the world, the apostles have disappeared without a trace, representing the attitude of the gods who are indifferently watching.
Everyone knows that the era of division has come.
β¦β¦
The Sand City Newspaper continued to report on the current state of the empire.
"The emperor died of illness, and the imperial capital mourned for three days"
"The court heard King Qin's call for help at night, and it was difficult to distinguish between fiction and reality"
"Knights of the Plateau"
"The Knights of the Highlands declare allegiance to the Gunpowder Domain"
"The Knights of the Plateau attacked the court at night, and the Gunpowder Clan fled in exile"
"The Knights of the Highlands announce the takeover of the imperial capital"
"Lord Marsh's Soldiers Descend on the City"
"The Glacier Lord allies with the Gunpowder Domain"
"The Duchy of Iron declares independence"
"The Spice Earl has formed a military alliance with the Iron Duchy"
β¦β¦
The chaos of the Twin Serpent Empire continues to escalate, and other vassal civilizations are invited to enter.
The Knights of the Highlands have invited reinforcements from the Windbound Realm, Lord Swamp has been assisted by the elite legions of the Warrior Country, and the Glacier Lord's team has appeared with the Mystics of the Mystic Country.
The Earl of Spice personally visited the Kingdom of Resurrection, and was not only recognized by Baron, Duke of Harvest, the sole de jure heir of the Duke of Iron, but also received official assistance from the Kingdom.
Prior to this, the other Electors had tried several times to ask the Resurrection Kingdom to intervene, but King Raymond had refused.
The reason why he agreed to help the Earl of Spice was simple.
"His Majesty the Emperor is still alive."
The Earl of Spices disguised the aged emperor as a retinue and brought him to the kingdom, and the emperor represented orthodoxy.
The exiled emperor was also interviewed by the newspaper Shachengdi.
"I am the Emperor of the Twin Serpent Empire, Toto MΓΌller, and the previous Gunpowder Lord...... I was placed under house arrest by my nephew, the current Gunpowder Lord, and later escaped with the help of the Spice Earl through a special potion. β
"Now the empire is in turmoil, and the wolf ambitions of all forces have caused great chaos and harm to the entire empire, leaving the people into famine and chaos and displaced...... If the chaos is not quickly quelled, not only will the empire be destroyed, but the entire world may also be completely destroyed by the disheartened hearts of the gods and adults. β
"I, Emperor Toto MΓΌller, sincerely hope that I will receive your country's assistance to quell this rebellion as soon as possible and restore order to the earth."
"Here, I also appeal to the soldiers of the Empire not to play for the tiger, not to harm unarmed civilians, and to exercise restraint as much as possible."
"An empire can do without an emperor, but an empire cannot do without order."
As soon as this article, titled "The Emperor's Letter to the Empire", was published, King Raymond also officially announced through the newspaper that the Resurrection Kingdom would participate in stopping the increasingly serious war in the Empire at the request of the Emperor and the needs of the people of the Empire.
The kingdom formed the [Conciliation Army] and sent an expeditionary force of 10,000 people, although the number of this army is small, but all of them are elite.
The commander of the Conciliator is Harros, a former candidate for king, with 4 commanders and 2 powerful undead warriors, all of whom are composed of bone knights and bone mages.
Once inside the Empire, the Conciliators made a roundabout way under the cover of the Spice Earl's army, tearing through the blockade of the Glacier Lord and the Gunpowder Lord.
The mediators then worked day and night to cut through the fortress complex laid out by Lord Marsh and reopen the passage between the Spice County and the Imperial Capital.
In this great battle of breaking the enemy one after another, the mediation army's thousand-mile march terrified the forces on all sides, and Harros showed his superb command ability and battlefield judgment, and always hit the enemy's weak points.
In the head-to-head confrontation, the 4 commanders led by Sidar unleashed [Genome 4: Flesh and Blood], and the skeleton giant showed the power of Genosequence to the world for the first time.
Relying on the power of their genomics, the four giants led their respective troops to a breakdown, almost crushing the enemy's gunpowder and bow defenses.
The giantization of the Bone Ancestors, the unbreakable toughness of their skins, and the power of their fists and heavy weapons, which can crush the walls with a single, brought unparalleled fear to the Goblin soldiers of the Empire.
The accompanying wind collectors wrote a report on every battle, which was continuously sent to the rear, and published in the "Shachengdi Newspaper" to send it to all directions.
"The other side of the glacier is the enemy!"
"The first battle was won, and the cavalry charge was unstoppable"
"Gunpowder counterattacks, and the feudal lord responds strongly"
"Onward! Giants of the kingdom! β
"Break through, our knights crush the enemy army!"
"Bitter battle in a swamp ambush"
"Gunpowder Exclusion Zone Between Fortresses"
"Encountering difficulties, fierce battles continue"
"Breaking the formation alone, the oppression of the giant Sidal!"
"The enemy completely collapsed, and the vanguard of our army arrived outside the imperial capital"
"The Toughest White-Knuckle Fight"
"Fierce meat grinding, giants killed, enemy monster legions annihilated"
"Undead Warriors Enter the War"
"The Emperor has returned to his loyal imperial capital"
"The Emperor announced his abdication, and the Twin Snake Empire was officially restructured into the Twin Snake Merchant Republic"
"Behind the Barnyard Giant: From Shiojiu to Thorn Mountain"
β¦β¦
The First Battle of the Imperial Capital was extremely difficult. Two commanders were killed in the protracted offensive and defensive battles, while the most elite monster legions of the Knights of the Highlands were also killed by more than sixty percent, and the foreign mystics they invited also suffered heavy casualties.
In the most critical battle between the two sides, the undead warriors who were originally used as a deterrent finally intervened, and single-handedly broke through the high walls and arrow towers, leaving the Knights without the iron walls they relied on.
The Knight of the Highlands chose the latter between flight and surrender.
When the emperor returned to the imperial capital, he was not warmly welcomed, but was opposed and cursed by the people.
Even after the defeat of the Plateau Knights, the civilians who remained in the imperial capital still supported the Knights and shouted in unison for the emperor's abdication.
In an interview with interviewer Bai Ding, the civilians gave their reasons.
"When His Majesty the Emperor was here, I couldn't eat enough, the emperor left, and the lord of the Knights came, although he couldn't eat enough, but he could go to the Knights to help, be a militia, be an auxiliary, and eat two meals a day. When the emperor comes back, what are we going to eat? β
"When the emperor was in power, he was not allowed to go out at night, where would I go to work and find food if I didn't go out? We are not nobles and merchants, and if we don't work, we will go hungry. Drink a stomach of cold water, you will be awakened by urine at night, and when you wake up, you will be very hungry, hungry to gnaw on the leaves, and it is really hard to get hungry. β
"Although the Knights often whipped people, they did not kill people, but only sent them to work as laborers. When the emperor was there, he was much more fierce than this, and he was going to lose his head. β
"I'm a businessman, and it stands to reason that businessmen should be honest in business and not talk nonsense. But if you don't speak now, when will you be able to speak later? His Majesty the Emperor often raids his house at every turn, and everyone is terrified, because they don't know when something goes wrong, they will be arrested. It's okay to give a reason. We pay taxes, we accept drafts, we run dangerous and unprofitable jobs for the Empire, we work hard all our lives and then the Emperor takes everything away...... For this country, perhaps the absence of an emperor is a good thing. β
"As a scholar, I believe that the empire must change if it wants to reverse its decay, so let's start with His Majesty the Emperor. Didn't Your Majesty say that? The empire can be without the emperor, but the empire cannot be without order, so please ask His Majesty the Emperor to sacrifice for the empire. β
β¦β¦
Faced with tremendous pressure from within and outside the state, the last emperor of the Twin Serpent Empire, MΓΌller, eventually abdicated. The few remaining electors of the empire also gathered in the imperial capital again.
Eventually, the Elector and his ministers reached a consensus to transform the empire into a merchant republic.
The establishment of the Twin Snake Merchant Republic represents the transformation of the old empire into history, and the republic officially established commerce and trade as the pillar of the state, and has since become the trade and economic center of many subordinate civilizations.
The way the state was managed also changed from an imperial system to a consul system.
Cities and territories have governors or mayors, and merchants' councils are the formal governing bodies of each city, from which mayors and governors are elected, and their duties are to increase and protect the wealth of the city and its inhabitants.
β¦β¦
The empire turned into a merchant republic, and whether this result was good or bad, Thorn Mountain did not know.
He only knew that the mediation force's assistance in the military operation had made the giants of the resurrected kingdom stand in front of everyone. The power of genosequences has been strongly demonstrated on the battlefield of brutality.
The White Bone Ancestors are not a race without growth, and the birth of [Genome 4] will pave a long step for a large number of White Bone Ancestors.
The old notion that the deceased cannot complete the activation of genes has been completely shattered.
There was a frenzied craze for genetic sequences among the ancestors of the White Bones.
One day, Thorn Mountain suddenly felt a vigorous power lingering in his body, and he could feel a warm divine power in this power.
"Thank you for the gift of the gods......
Thorn Mountain kneeled on the ground in surprise and panic, bowing to the sky.
It was only after completing the ritual to the gods that he realized the true meaning of that new power.
This is the best reward for everything you have done.
On the eve of Thorn Mountain's return home, Sidal visited him.
"Mr. Thorn Mountain, aren't you going to stay a little longer? There are still many people who want to get your guidance, and many people can't stick to it without your encouragement and inspiration. β
Thorn Mountain waved his hand and said, "You overestimated my role. I just think that everything is possible, sometimes it is not impossible, it may just not be extreme enough. β
He looked at the sun in the sky: "It took us the Red Thorn Clan tens of thousands of years to learn to climb the land, and it took thousands of years to learn to walk upright under the guidance of the King of Light, and then experienced war and rebirth to establish the Sun Kingdom under the light of God Yao...... This is very similar to the Resurrection Kingdom established by the Bone Ancestors. β
"We are all very ordinary races, but we have the same gods above us, we are brothers, and what we can do, you can do. It's just that sometimes, it takes a lot of patience and time to get something done...... No achievement can be achieved overnight. β
"I look forward to the day when you will come and share your discoveries and insights with us. β
"There will be a day, wait, man."
Hilda's jaw twitched, and he twisted his neck: "Then, as a practice for you, let's fight." β
The body of the Bone Ancestor expanded violently, turning into a burly and tall Hulk in the white mist.
Thorn Mountain also laughed: "Good come!" β
His eyes were blood-red for a moment, and the muscles of his whole body swelled, turning into an afterimage and colliding with the giant.
β¦β¦
And in the Pillar Mountain at the junction of the ghost world and the Takelu country.
An old man looked at the yellowed paper newspaper in his hand, and smiled so much that the wrinkles on his face were huddled.
"Finally, there is a way, and the Yao warrior monks have a way...... That's great. Today's young people are amazing. β
The young man next to him pointed to the newspaper and said, "Master, it also pays tribute to you." You see, it reads, "Without the groping in the dark by the forerunners led by Shiohisa, there would have been nothing that followed." β
Suddenly, a complicated expression appeared on Shioku's face.
He knelt on the ground in a trance, and a strong white light emanated from his body, which slowly outlined a hidden rune on the old man's body.
Shiohisa prayed softly, "Praise you, our Heavenly Father and Savior. β
Nonglei's eyes widened.
"It's ...... Have you become an apostle? β
