Chapter 704: The Great War is Imminent
Originally, the four major card royal families in the Sanctuary all had their own civilization beliefs, but after the fall of the Sanctuary, the result of the centuries-long war was that except for the Clover Royal Clan, the other three royal families completely lost their faith, and in order to survive, they could only compromise with the Magic Heaven.
Lucius took a sip of his drink, looked at Pavaro on the other side and said, "For you, faith is just an insignificant vassal, and you have already discarded the so-called faith when you destroyed the Sanctuary. ”
Pavaro did not respond to Lucius's slightly mean rebuke, but continued to drink with his head buried in his head, as if he had not heard Lucius's sharp words at all.
Pavaro was well aware of the sharpness of Lucius's words, and he chose silence to deal with the other party rather than argue something.
Because according to the original situation, it is indeed like what Lucius said, in order not to be eradicated by the Holy See and the Temple, the three card royal families had to compromise with the Holy See and the Temple.
For Pavaro, it was a stain on the Hearts Clan, a stain that the entire Hearts Clan could never erase, and Pavaro was almost reluctant to mention it in front of anyone.
But now, when Lucius brought it up, Pavaro felt very indignant in his heart, but he had no words to refute it.
When Lucius saw that Pavaro was silent, he smiled and said, "Hehe, what? Is there nothing to say now? Or do you not know how to justify your black stain?"
In the face of Lucius's aggressiveness, Pavaro calmed down and said unabashedly: "Black is black, I have no one to defend, it is indeed a stain on our entire royal family of hearts, and I will not want to argue with me, my ancestors, or my descendants in the future." Because we have indeed given up our faith in order to survive. ”
"But as a result, the result was not as simple as you think, and we not only succeeded in preserving ourselves, but also in turn suing the Holy See and the Temple. ”
Seeing that Lucius was very disdainful, Pavaro then said: "Don't think about denying it, you can't deny it, do you dare to say that the Holy See and the Temple are not under the control of the two royal families, the Prism and the Black Spear?
Lucius knew that Pavaro was looking for an opportunity to fight back against him, but he cracked his mouth and laughed: "I'm afraid to disappoint you, in fact, leaving the Western Continent is completely voluntary." ”
"Out of the will?" Pavaro was a little surprised when he heard this, he originally thought that Lucius was because he was unable to resist the attack of the prism diamond and the black spear. had to choose to retreat.
But what Pavaro didn't expect was that Lucius was not forced to leave the West, but voluntarily chose to leave, crossing the ocean through the Misty Forest to the East, it can be said that he avoided the edge of the diamond and the black spear, but it cannot be said that he was driven or fled.
Pavaro couldn't help but lament: "It's so disappointing, I didn't expect that I left so many tricks for the two of them, and in the end they didn't use it, so you can successfully dodge it." ”
Hearing this, Lucius couldn't help but smile and said, "You really have an arrangement." It's just that I didn't give you the opportunity to arrange an outbreak, and I chose to leave the Western Continent directly, just like yourself, to avoid the beginning of the conflict in the Western Continent. ”
As a matter of fact. Both Lucius and Pavaro knew it was wisest to avoid the initial scramble.
You must know that the last time the Sanctuary was opened, although Lucius sealed the Father God with the resting place, there were still a large number of gods who escaped from the suppression of the Sanctuary. The influx of so many gods into the West will inevitably pose a threat to the existing forces in the West.
Especially for the Holy See and the Temple, the gods who have occupied the Holy See and the Temple for a long time. It is not necessarily certain that the gods who have escaped from the sanctuary will be accepted.
It is precisely because of the simplest issue of acceptance that the entire West is in strife, and the gods who have escaped from the Holy Land also need a place for them.
However, the division of land in the West has long been determined by the temple and the Holy See, and there is no room for other gods, so there will inevitably be terrible wars between those gods, in order to compete for their own place, but also for the source of faith.
Unlike the Prism and the Black Spear, neither Lucius nor Pavaro had enough foundations, and in the West they could be said to have almost no power to handle.
If Prism Diamond and Black Spear wanted to eradicate the two of them, it could be said that any one of the two families would dispatch a part of their forces at will, which would be enough to wipe out the little bit of foundation that the two had worked so hard to build.
If the Holy See has absolute dominance in the West, the dominance of the Temple is second only to the Holy See.
The descendants of the Prism King have apparently been integrated into the rule of the Holy See, and as the representative of the royal power of the Holy See in the secular world, the descendants of the Prism King hold the royal power.
Although the descendants of the Prism King do not belong to their own Ang, but in the whole West, the power of the Prism King has spread all over several powerful empires, they control the government of those empires, and with the support of the Holy See behind them, the Prism King is the leading powerful force in the West.
As for the Black Spear King, it seems that they do not have a strong foundation like Prism, but the Black Spear King has always had an absolute right to speak in the southern coastal countries of the West.
It is said that when the Black Spear royal family left the holy realm, they were also in the empire ruled by the Holy See and the Temple at first, but the so-called one mountain could not accommodate two tigers, because of the existence of the Prismatic Diamond royal family, the two families naturally had to have some fights.
It was also a struggle that lasted for more than a hundred years, and finally the Prism Diamond Clan had the upper hand, and the Black Spear Clan had to avoid its edge, when the descendants of the Black Spear Clan, in order to suppress the power of the Holy See in order to suppress the Holy See power in the armoured Rim Diamond Clan, they quietly established their own forces on the southern coast with the help of some unwilling to submit to the ruling gods of the Holy See in the Temple of War.
At the beginning of learning that the Black Spear royal family secretly established its power in the south, both the Holy See and the Prism royal family tried every means to suppress and intervene, and even the Holy See and the Prism royal family specially sent troops to conquer the southern countries.
However, what everyone didn't expect was that the southern countries completely ignored the strength of the Holy See at that time, and united to confront the combined forces of the Holy See and the Prismatic Diamond Royal Clan, driven by the Temple and the Black Spear Royal Clan.
A terrible war broke out between the two sides, which lasted for many years, during which time the southern kingdoms were almost on the verge of being defeated by the combined forces of the Holy See and the Diamond Royals on more than one occasion.
However, whenever the war is critical, the southern countries can always save the day. Able to burst out with unyielding and terrifying willpower at the most critical moment.
In the end, the Holy See and the Prism Royalty seemed to feel that there was no benefit in continuing the war, and the powerful empires controlled by the Holy See and the Prism Royalty at that time also had some internal problems due to the years of war.
In the end, the Holy See and the Prism Diamond Royal Clan could only compromise, which could be regarded as acquiescing in the existence of the Black Spear Royal Clan, the ruins of the Southern Kingdoms, and choosing to withdraw troops and cede the Southern Kingdoms to the Black Spear Royal Clan and the Temple.
As bystanders, both Lucius and Pavaro have their own opinions about the war that lasted for more than a hundred years.
To this day, when it comes to this, Pavaro can't help but sigh: "Ahh Perhaps if my ancestors had taken the opportunity to rise secretly, the Hearts would have had a place in the West. ”
Lucius smiled when he heard this: "Hehe, it's a pity that your ancestors didn't grasp that opportunity, in fact, at that time, the Holy See and the Temple were about to be dragged down by that war, you must know that at that time, eighty percent of the areas ruled by the Holy See and the Temple had already experienced famine, and there were various plagues in some places. People were displaced, and faith in the Holy See and the Temple was on the verge of collapse. ”
When Pavaro heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "I'm afraid you are very expecting that the Holy See and the Temple will be dragged down by the war at that time, right?"
"No, I don't want to see the Holy See and the Temple be dragged down by that war. It's as if I don't want to see the war drag down the whole of Fuso. ”
Pavaro was a little surprised to hear this, and Lucius then continued: "If the war really drags down the Holy See and the Temple, then I am afraid that the whole West will face an irreparable desperate situation, and I am afraid that almost all the people will die of disease and starvation." ”
"Hehehe......" Pavaro couldn't help laughing, "I really didn't expect it." You are still so merciful to the world, but shouldn't this be the doctrine of the Holy See? Why do you always have compassion for the world as if you were a savior? In fact, the most important thing in the world is ordinary people, who are like weeds on the ground. The rats in the field always have terrible fecundity. ”
"Perhaps when the Holy See and the Temple are finally brought down, most of the West will starve to death, and many people may even starve to death, but as long as enough time is given to cultivate, soon the population will recover and the West will prosper again. ”
Listening to Pavaro's words and feeling Pavaro's contempt for life, Lucius couldn't help but say with anger: "Don't forget that when you look down on those ordinary people, you are actually just one of them. ”
"I? Oh, no, no, Lucius, do you think we're part of the people? You're so disappointed in me, you know as you know that we've jumped out of the crowd a long time ago. ”
After a pause, Pavaro picked up the wine cup in his hand, pointed to the bustling street outside the restaurant, and said: "Look at the scene outside, these foolish people are still enjoying the peace they have, completely unaware of their impending disaster, these are ordinary people, for them, they cannot control their own destiny, they are like a flock of lambs, the whip is waved in that way, they will run that way." ”
"And you and I, we have the whip in our hands, and we will decide their fate, and that's how we differ from them, so you've been pitying the world, and you've been one of them, and that's what you're not. ”
Speaking of maneuvering, Pavaro stood up with a wine cup in his hand, and said in high spirits: "You should stand up, stand at the height you are at, and look down on the people who seem to be ants, only then can you really become a superior person, and you know what kind of mentality you should use to treat things and people." ”
Lucius raised his head and looked at Pavaro standing there, at this moment, he could deeply feel the pride in Pavaro's bones, and he could even clearly feel the contempt in the other party's heart for the people.
Without getting up, Lucius lowered his head and took a few sips of his drink alone, and suddenly raised the gun that was set aside and shot it at Paolo, who was standing there.
The latter did not expect Lucius to shoot suddenly, and when he could not dodge, he fell to the ground in a hurry, and the wine spilled all over him, and the whole person sat down at the table in a wolf.
Lucius withdrew his firearm and looked at Pavaro, who was covered in alcohol, and teased: "You see? Sometimes when you think you have an absolute advantage, it is often the time when you let your guard down and you are most likely to get shot. ”
"You ......" Pavaro glared at Lecius and roared: "You are simply unreasonable, you can't say that others actually use force directly, hmph, you still said that you have a bold spirit before." ”
Lucius shrugged his shoulders and replied disapprerovingly: "I never said that I have any grandeur, I am just me, an ordinary person, although I have the inheritance of the founder of the Sanctuary, but just like the Clover royal family is a grassroots mechanical craftsman, I always feel that I am an ordinary person." ”
Pavaro sneered and sneered: "Hmph, you think you are an ordinary person? Then why do you still interfere with the Tang Empire's control of Fusang? Why don't you stand aside as a bystander?"
In the face of questioning, Lucius always remained calm and indifferent, raised the wine cup in his hand, took a sip of the wine inside, and said: "It's very simple, just like I said, everyone should have the right to control their own destiny, and I also want to control my own destiny, and at the same time, I want the people of Fusang to have that kind of choice, choose their own destiny." ”
"Why? Why are you so stubborn? You know that the two of us can actually cooperate, we can build a strong force in the East together, as long as you help me restore the rule of the Sand Sea Empire, let me annex the entire East, with the help of the East's luck and manpower and material resources, we are absolutely capable of counterattacking the West, but why do you have to go against me?"
At this point, Pavaro began to be a little hysterical, he was incomprehensible to Lucius's stubbornness, and even more intolerable to Lecius's stubbornness that he was unwilling to cooperate with.
In the face of Pavaro's hysteria, Lucius smiled lightly: "Hehe, there is a saying in Eastern Middle Earth, the Tao is not the same, probably it is the two of us, right?"
Hearing Lucius say this, Pavaro finally understood that it was impossible for him and Lucius to reach an agreement, so he could only shake his head regretfully: "It's a pity, I originally thought that the two of us didn't need to face each other with swords, but now it seems that it is difficult for the two of us to coexist, so I can only strike first."
