Chapter 9: The Death of the God-King and the Truth (4)
The Terran army suddenly attacked, the demon clan was not prepared, and was defeated and retreated, but after all, the demon clan is better at fighting than the Terran, plus the leader of the demon clan has experienced a hundred battles, and soon he adjusted his deployment, gathered a large army, and counterattacked the invasion of the Terran, and the generals on the Terran side had no combat experience at all, so the battle situation was quickly reversed, and the Terran army was forced to retreat to the edge of the Ganges, seeing that the army of hundreds of thousands of people was about to be wiped out, Mingyue released me, and cried in front of me that he was completely for the interests of the Terrans, for the sake of long-term peace, and he was not allowed to send troops, plus the intercession of the patriarch's councilAfter all, I still didn't blame her too much, for the sake of the human race, I still went to war......
On the bank of the Ganges River, the human race and the demon clan, the original allies are now meeting each other with swords, the demon clan patriarch Baizu commands the army of 500,000 demon clans, mighty and mighty, stretching for thousands of miles, after a hundred feet of training, the current demon army is shimmering, the team is orderly, plus there are more and more soldiers in the demon clan who have learned beast and demon skills, and the art of iron smelting is no less than that of human beings, the warriors are all wearing battle armor, and the war knives and battle axes are cold and clever, and the human army is all frightened. And at this time I arrived with reinforcements, as soon as I saw the God King arrive with a large army, this stabilized the army's heart, as soon as I saw that the other party's main general was his friend Baizu, I immediately asked to talk to Baizu, before the two armies, I asked Baizu why he reneged on the agreement and detained the merchant group, but he told me that it was not a merchant group at all, it was some human traffickers, they stole children from the demon clan and sold them to humans, as pets and coolies, he also sent a messenger to explain the situation to the Terrans, but the messenger was killed, and the Terrans suddenly attacked, so there was today's war, as soon as I heard what Baizu said, plus Mingyue's handling of this matter, I immediately understood, All of this was carefully planned by Mingyue, she had planned this battle for a long time, what a bullshit business group, that was just an excuse, if it weren't for the demon clan counterattack, she didn't plan to let me know the truth at all, I persuaded Baizu to stop and let me go back to investigate, but he refused, since he repelled the beast clan, the human race is getting bigger and bigger, often violating the demon clan, this time it is a large army invasion, instead of waiting for the human race to slaughter, it is better to take this opportunity to fight in one fell swoop, destroy the human race, seeing that Baizu has made up his mind, he must destroy the human race, there is no way, I can only face it。
For the strength of the demon clan, I have already prepared, so this time I brought nearly 800,000 men and horses, and also brought 500 cannons, which I personally built in the past few years, originally to prevent the beast clan, but I didn't expect it to be used on the battlefield of the demon clan......
The battle began, and the demon army rushed in, shouting and shaking the heavens and the earth, and the momentum was like a rainbow......
I lined up 500 cannons against the demon army, and as soon as I gave the order, I saw that the demon army was blown to pieces, and the flesh and blood were flying, and the human army suddenly became confident. But the demon clan is too strong, there is no intention of retreating, rushing to the artillery fire, the two sides finally melee together, after the bombardment, the demon clan has lost its dress, even the rest are injured, plus the number of the human army is close to twice their own, although the battle to the death, but still quickly defeated, only Baizu and a few demon clans were able to escape, I stopped the pursuing troops, it is already an unjust battle, what face is there to kill it.
Although it was a victory, the Terrans also paid nearly 400,000 dead and wounded, and nearly 100 of the 500 cannons remained, and once again stood on the battlefield, listening to the soldiers chanting "God King is invincible" and "Long live God King" For the sake of one's selfishness, for the benefit of a few, hundreds of thousands of corpses were scattered all over the field, and their lives were lost, leaving only the greedy wailing of the scavenging birds, looking at their hands and blood-stained red clothes, I felt like this scavenging bird, so ugly and disgusting, it ate meat, drank blood, and I was not eating meat and drinking blood, it was the first time I hated myself like this, and those who provoked the war, those who were still hiding in the eastern capital'Scavenging Bird'
When the army returned, Mingyue and the patriarch went out of the city to welcome, but I ordered the army to be stationed outside the city, I just didn't want to face their faces at that time, in my opinion, the capital that I built with my own hands has now become a swamp, and the people in it have been buried, and they are no longer the original ones. I don't want to go back to that disgusting swamp by myself......
Seeing that the army did not enter the city, the patriarch and the people were talking about it, and the patriarchs even went to the barracks in person to ask for a meeting, but they were all blocked out of the camp, until late at night, Mingyue broke in directly, and the soldiers did not dare to stop her at all, as soon as she entered the big tent, she cried that she was fascinated for a while, and wanted to make the demon clan surrender, she begged for my forgiveness, but I was tired of her tears, because of these tears I repeatedly connived at her, she would have no fear, provoked such a war, killed and injured so many people, and completely broke the alliance between the two clans, seeing that I did not forgive her at all, and said that she would personally punish herself, Mingyue scolded again, "God King, do you think everything today is my fault, why am I obsessed with power? It's not all because of you, your indifference to me, although Suzaku is dead, although you have returned from the demon clan, but what about your heart, your heart has long been buried with Suzaku, buried next to her, you can't forget her at all in your heart, that's why today you let go of Baizu and that group of demon clans, and soon I hope Suzaku can forgive you, you don't love me at all, you don't love the human race at all......" Listening to her accusations, I realized that I didn't know my wife at all, and thought she was the little girl she was at the beginning, innocent and kind, I didn't know that she had so much suffering in her heart, so much dissatisfaction, listening to this, I didn't know whether to sympathize with her, resent her, or continue to love her, I suddenly felt that I might really owe her, and power can just fill her shortcomings, so she will become herself, if I had paid attention earlier...... Maybe......
I drank a lot that night, and it was the first time I had that much alcohol......
It was also from that day on, I stayed even more away from politics, since Mingyue felt that political power could comfort her, I simply handed over all the power to her, but I also expanded the power of the patriarch's council, and divided the military power into three parts, respectively controlled by the king of the south, the king of the north and the patriarch, and at the same time built the black wall and the ancient castle of the southern wilderness, which is also the last thing I can do for mankind, and the last thing I can do for Qiushui Mingyue, since then I have been drinking all day long, no longer caring about political affairs, and my body is not as good as day by day, and the days when I meet with Qiushui Mingyue are getting fewer and fewer。
I thought that such an arrangement would be enough to ensure the stability of the human race, but I underestimated the desire for power of human beings......
One day, Qiushui suddenly found it again, it was the first time she took the initiative to find me after I quarreled with her, and brought me a pot of good wine, she told me that she was tired of life in the palace, the patriarchs no longer trusted her, restricted her everywhere, plus she had no military power, she couldn't control the situation at all, she hoped that I could come forward to maintain her power, at least to ensure their status in the human race, this was also the order given to her by his father, and I couldn't listen to it anymore, I directly refused, seeing that I had no room to maneuver, she used the last resort"God King, we are also husband and wife, have a drink with me. She handed me a glass of wine with tears in her eyes, and looked at this woman whom I had saved my life and shared my suffering, and my heart was full of mixed feelings, and I took her wine and drank it all, just like the love I had for her in my heart.
However, what I didn't expect was that this glass of wine was poisoned, this is the poison that my wife specially prepared for me, she knows that my body is different from humans, so the poison she prepared cannot kill immediately, her purpose is to ask me to write a suicide note to her, announcing that she will replace all my powers, and be in charge of the Terran soldiers and horses, and at this time, her father still surrounded the imperial city with the descendants of the Qiushui clan, and they were bound to get this suicide note, even at the cost of pressing the fate of the whole clan...... This is the temptation of power.
Seeing me dying, Qiushui cried and asked me to write a suicide note, she said that she only wanted a suicide note, she didn't want my life, watching her burst into tears, I don't know if this is her sincerity, because I can't see her sincerity at all, she is no longer the woman I once loved deeply, I just smiled and looked at her, I didn't write a suicide note until I died......" After speaking, Changping sighed, as if he had experienced the pain again,
"Didn't you write it down until the end? But what is recorded in the history books is that you left a suicide note when you were dying. Looking at Changle's face full of doubts, Changping explained: "That's because I wrote it a long time ago and handed it over to the patriarch for him to keep." But it only told him where my relics were, and at the same time told him to wait for Mingyue to abdicate, and the patriarchal council would elect a new human emperor. But from now on, it seems that the patriarchs are not acting exactly according to my will......" The corners of Changping's face showed a hint of mockery,
No matter how much you said in your life, after you die, there will be a few people who will remember what you said, they only think about their own interests, and your so-called instructions are just a few words that are dispensable.
