Chapter 409: A Small Post-War Theater on a Spaceship
The Gym Warriors, a team made up entirely of Gym soldiers, as it has been said before, are either cronies of the higher-ups, managers, or those who don't see a way up in the Imperial Army system.
In a word, no one really thought about how much combat power these people would burst out, at least, everyone now only regarded the warriors of the Daoist Pavilion as a force for the protection of the empire's security, not a so-called military force.
However, after they defeated and wiped out the Bhagavaru clan with their willpower and strength to break through the limits with a devastating attitude, with a not low casualty rate, there will be a wave of obvious changes in the Imperial people's evaluation of the Gym.
At least, Casto, the Emperor and Torrecchia, who had been paying attention to the battlefield, were also a little surprised by these Daoist warriors,
After all, if the initial contact battle only showed that the Empire's military training was very powerful and could make the warriors burst out with powerful combat effectiveness, then in the subsequent Bogaru Home Star Annihilation War, the strength of those Daoist warriors who broke out beyond the limit was enough to surprise everyone.
In a sense, the power to break through the limits is the same as the power that the warriors of the Land of Light have been pursuing, and the power to squeeze willpower and vitality to burst out miracles when protecting peace.
Of course, relying on the monitoring equipment of the highest authority of the empire, relying on Casto's intelligence supplement, relying on the emperor's understanding of the people of the empire, and relying on Torrecchia's IQ, the three people who were watching the play on the Tianwang spaceship quickly deduced the truth of the facts.
"I didn't expect that Your Majesty the Emperor, those soldiers were willing to burn their vitality and willpower in order to seize the first credit since the completion of the Dao Pavilion, which is not a simple matter."
Although Torrecchia seemed to be complimenting, there was a hint of mockery in his tone, "However, isn't it too much to destroy the entire Bogajou civilization just because of their own interests?" ”
Torrecchia looked at the home planet of the Bogajou clan that had disappeared from the screen, and for some reason, he suddenly thought of the Baltan spaceship that had been destroyed by the first generation,
Because he has been in contact with the courier brother of the Baltan clan a lot recently, he has a good relationship with that guy recently, and unconsciously, he and the other party's good side seems to be slowly dominating the conversation.
"That's why I said you're too young." Emperor Ampera glanced at Torrecchia, "You say this because the Bogajavaru are instigated in your eyes, right?" In your Torrecchia's eyes, the culprit this time should be that Serebro, or even the so-called Absolutes. ”
"Childish! Amusing! An idea that only the incompetent will have! ”
Torrecchia tilted his head to look at Emperor Ampera, he didn't think he was wrong in his opinion, after all, the truth of the matter is most likely that Serebro parasitized the patriarch of the Bhagaru clan, and then instigated this rebellion,
If he didn't know all this, forget it, once he knew all this, then when he saw that the Bhagaru clan had disappeared under the siege of those warriors of the Gym, Torrecchia was still moved by a trace of compassion.
"Yes, if you put yourself in the shoes of the Bogajou, you will indeed feel that they are somewhat innocent, their hatred for the Empire has always existed, and Serebro parasitized their patriarch and launched a rebellion by words or other means,
Those ordinary people of the so-called Bogavaru clan don't have much choice, and they seem to be a little pitiful when it comes to the destruction of the entire clan, right? ”
Casto looked at Torrecchia, who nodded at Casto, and then he was smashed out of the way by the cup that Casto casually tossed.
"Idiot! That's what you've learned on Earth? Use your mind to think about what will happen to the rest of the empire and what will happen to the Bhagavaru if they succeed in their rebellion. ”
"You can't think of the first generation and the Baltans, right?" Casto looked at Torrecchia, who was unconvinced, and quickly figured out something, and then showed a helpless look on his face,
Torrecchia is like this, it's not that he doesn't have compassion, it's just that his compassion will only work on his 'friends', if it was the previous Torrecchia who was really not so easy to make friends, he looked down on anyone except a few people, and naturally he wouldn't make friends casually,
But it's such a coincidence, Torrecchia, who has been on Earth for a while, seems to have a lot of peace of mind, and it may be that he has been with that mountain for a long time, and the bottom line of making friends is very low, and now he seems to be trying to become friends with people.
And naturally, the Baltan Express brother of the empire became his friend.
"Do you really think that if everyone makes jokes about the first generation of the Baltan clan every day, it means that the first generation has done something wrong?" Casto looked at Torrecchia and said with some anger, "Don't substitute friendship and emotions when thinking about problems, use your brain to think about it!" ”
"If the earth is really occupied by those Baltan people, will there be any good life for the earthlings? Maybe the Baltan clan will pretend to give the earthlings a piece of land, so that the earthlings will not perish on the earth, but that's all,
You think those Baltans are very innocent, but if the first generation is not on Earth that day, will those innocent Baltans in your eyes really let the Earthlings go? No! ”
Torrecchia looked at Casto, and under Casto's reminder, he also let go of his friendship with the courier boy, and instead thought with a very rational attitude, "Although I admit that what you said is right, we can't use what hasn't happened yet to judge them for their guilt, right?"
At the very least, we need to use a more disciplined approach, whether it is the laws of the empire or any other rule, and at least after we have the upper hand, we should punish in a more civilized way
Although I don't like some of the ridiculous ideas of the Land of Light, I still have a lot of respect for the procedural justice of the Space Science and Technology Bureau. ”
"Don't give Lao Tzu that set of programs that go around and around!! Also civilized! They're going to kill someone, and you're still talking to me about civilization here! "Casto was a flying kick at Torrecchia, and he had to correct some of the weird ways of thinking that this guy had learned in Neon.
One person chases, one person runs, a major event of civilization annihilation, in such a somewhat absurd way in front of the emperor's eyes, as the real from the bottom step by step to the current emperor Ampera, looking at the abstract behavior of the two people of the country of light in front of him, silently shook his head,
"Unlike you people in the Land of Light, in the history of our empire, such rebellions are not rare, and there are indeed some people who have said to me that in most cases the so-called ordinary people are innocent, but for those who have the courage to say these words to me, I have let them go to the front."
The Emperor's deep voice with a historical weight echoed through the spaceship, interrupting Castor and Torrecchia's 'frolic', "From the perspective of your people in the Land of Light, the ordinary people of the Baltan clan are the same as the ordinary people of the earth, and they have only one enemy, that is, the invaders of the Baltan clan and the invaders of the earth. ”
Torrecchia and Casto looked at the Emperor in surprise, because when the Emperor said this, it was indeed the perspective of the people of the Land of Light who were most commonly used to look at the world, and what surprised him even more was that the Emperor actually nodded, "Yes, you don't even have to stand from the perspective of the people of the Land of Light, from the perspective of the people who pursue order in our empire, this sentence is also correct." ”
"However, this sentence does not mean that the Baltans who invaded the earth and the Bogaru clan who were coerced into rebellion are innocent, and this conclusion is not valid from the perspective of the Empire, your country of light, or even from the perspective of the Galactic Federation."
"If Bhagavaj's rebellion succeeds, then everyone in their clan will benefit, something like this has happened many times in the history of the Empire,
Obviously, they all failed, and after their defeat, I gave very cruel orders more than once, and it is only natural that some of those losers will feel that they are innocent, that they are coerced, that they are the so-called victims,
But none of them thought that once they succeeded, they overthrew the empire, they succeeded in their rebellion, they became the perpetrators.
The perpetrator and the victim are not things that can be distinguished so easily. ”
The Emperor looked at Torrecchia and Casto, and Casto and Torrecchia also looked at the Emperor, and now this scene was somewhat strange,
Whether it is the history cited by the emperor, or the two civilizations discussed by Casto and Torrecchia, they are actually part of the emperor's rule,
But on the contrary, the emperor was the least concerned about these things, and the Torrecchia, who seemed to be a little nervous, was the most concerned about this matter.
As for Casto?
As a person who knows the plot, he doesn't have so many complicated thoughts now, as a person who seeks stability, he only has one thought, the Bogaru clan will die when they are dead, isn't it good to have fewer broken things in the universe? Why do you have to think so much?
That's you, Torrecchia! What other bullshit procedural justice are you pursuing? People who don't know think you are so obedient. How so? You'd love to see your most respected old leader, Hikari, break the defense and blacken, and then follow the blackening yourself, right?
"That's it, after that, contact the Galactic Federation, hold a special commendation ceremony, all the soldiers who participated in this imperial defense war must give them merits, the part of the soldiers who died in the battle, part of their merits according to the rules to the family, part of the clan is counted, now it should be counted to the head of the corresponding gym."
"And what if something goes wrong after that?" Torrecchia still didn't understand, "If something went wrong, does anyone know that the cause of this incident was an accident?" ”
"It is not my business for those who have won the honor to be able to bear the honor themselves." The Emperor gently shook the black cloak behind him, "They have made sacrifices, then I will give them what they want, but the rest, it's up to them." ”
The Emperor seldom interfered in such a detailed work, but this incident was enough for him to pay attention to, even if he didn't count Serebro and the Abu Soliut behind it, whether it was the first time the Daoguan received the credit, or the Bogajou rebellion, it was enough for him to give the order himself.
After listening to the emperor's somewhat irresponsible words, the Torrecchians were stupid.
Although he has learned a lot of things on Earth, there are some things that are difficult to learn without experiencing them personally, but this is normal, he is still too young, from the time he left the Land of Light with Castor to now, in fact, it has not been long, you know, Tairoke has not been to Earth yet.
If according to the timeline of the original book, it will take at least tens of thousands of years for Torrecchia to learn to become a villain with a set of self-consistent logic and special charm.
He needs to continue to see all kinds of things that break through his imagination in the universe for tens of thousands of years before he can finally become the man with a hint of cynicism.
But this is also exactly what the future old Tuo expects from himself in this universe, a completely different growth path under Torrecchia, this is a guy who is difficult to appear in parallel universes.
"Don't think about it, wait and get that Serebro back, that guy shouldn't be so easy to die." Casto abruptly changed the subject, then looked at Torrecchia, "The kind of mastermind behind the scenes that you guy once fantasized about, Serebro is probably a kind of template. ”
"Am I obvious?" Torrecchia's eyes widened, and he looked at the helpless Casto, and then at the disdainful emperor.
"You have a talent for darkness and a talent for chaos, but you don't have the bearing to reach the top of the universe."
"How could I, Torrecchia, have no bearing! I'm Torrecchia! I."
Looking at the mocking eyes of the Emperor and Casto, Torrecchia slowly turned his head, well, he really doesn't have that kind of bearing,
Whether it was the Emperor, the Father of Ultra, or Beria, their style was not something he could learn.
"I can tell you right now, even if you have seen the one you have seen, from a parallel time and space, who have completely merged with Chaos, you have not followed the path of the Emperor at all."
"No way, the way he used to behave was as if he was going to plunge the universe into chaos."
"Yes, but he didn't build a 'Chaos Empire', but did what he wanted and what he liked."
"In that case, he's still on the right path."
"Although I don't like this kind of petty behavior, but reluctantly." The Emperor interrupted Torrecchia,
"Although I haven't seen the one you say in your mouth, the future you, but since it's chaos, he should be walking a road that no one has walked, I don't know what this road is like, but the person who walks on this road really can't refer to anyone else's path."
"For example, it seems that my goal is the so-called Cosmic Emperor, just like those previous Cosmic Emperors, but in essence, we are different.
My philosophy was to make all the people in the universe suffer the same pain as everyone else in the dark universe, and I wanted to make a kind of pain that edited everyone and bring about a common order. ”
"No matter how many times I hear it, I feel that this is true"
Torrecchia was close to mocking the Emperor's thoughts, but his instinct made him swallow back the words that came to his lips.
However, after the emperor said this, Torrecchia also realized that whether it was Emperor Ampera, the father of the captain Ott, Beria in prison, or the Ott brothers, the king of the empire, not to mention Lord Casto,
It seems that all people have a set of logic that conforms to their actions under their superficial actions, but in fact, secretly.
In fact, Torrecchia also had such a logic not long ago, whether it was him who wanted to join the Space Guard, or he who joined the Space Science and Technology Bureau, he was actually a combination of knowledge and action.
Thinking of this, Torrecchia glanced at Casto with some grievances
After all, it was because of the appearance of Lord Castor that everything was different.
Whether it is the change in Director Hikari's heart, or meeting Belial, or later coming to the empire to see a different world, or even beginning to want to gain the power to rival Taylor.
Everything is because of the appearance of Master Castor
"Don't look at me, as far as I know, even the blue card and even me have never made too many arrangements for you, and your every step is your own choice."
Listening to Casto's somewhat irresponsible words, Torrecchia opened his mouth, but did not refute, Casto continued, "Again, Serebro is an object you can refer to, take it and study it, of course, my real purpose is to see if you can use him to locate Absolute." ”
Casto made no secret of his true intentions, and Torrecchia nodded, now was not the time for him to think, Serebro had indeed failed, but the matter for Absolute was not over yet.
"By the way, I'm canceling your establishment in both the Empire and the Land of Light, Torrecchia."
"What?" Torrecchia was stunned for a moment, before he could react, but Casto looked him in the eye, "You know what? I once asked you in the future, does he regret it? If he was given the opportunity to change, would he choose to change his life? ”
Torrecchia looked at Casto, his expression became serious little by little, but in the seriousness, he unconsciously brought a trace of cynicism that belonged to Torrecchia.
He never imagined that Castor had communicated with that dangerous self in another universe for him, without him knowing.
In the future, Torrecchia can simply give a firm answer in the face of Castor's words, and even, as a person with time ability, Torrecchia can change some of the past and change things that don't seem to be good by himself if he wants.
But he didn't, the future Torrecchia was no longer the younger self, he knew that it was every footprint on this path that made him, so even in the night sky, he often recalled the happy past in the Land of Light and Taylor, but the future Torrecchia never thought of changing the timeline.
Casto actually knew the answer before asking the future Torrecchia, but looking at the young Torrecchia, he was not sure what kind of answer he would get, because the young Torrecchia. It's just a young man who thinks a lot, sees very little, is pretentious, but suffers from gains and losses,
Even Tartarus could easily trick the young man into participating in that ridiculously huge conspiracy.
"If I really want to say it, I don't know. I won't regret it in the future. ”
Torrecchia's face finally showed his own smile, but he looked at the Emperor and Casto and continued, "Maybe I really can't be an overlord like Your Majesty the Emperor, or a man full of ideas like you, Lord Casto,
But I believe that if I take the path of Torrecchia, it must be different from everyone else, and I will definitely take a path that is unique in the universe. ”
Torrecchia's face, confidence slowly returned to his countenance, he raised his head to look at Casto, he also looked at the emperor, "I know, every choice has its consequences, there is a loss in gain, there is a gain in loss, there are too many forks in the road, but what is called a mistake,
For me, Torrecchia, the so-called mistake is to walk a long time before I find out that someone has walked this road. ”
"Your idea is very good, and I believe that if it were you Torrecchia, you would indeed be able to take a path that no one else in the universe has yet taken, but the only problem is that it takes a lot of experience."
"Experience? I'm still too young, what's this thing about?"
As soon as he said this, Torrecchia seemed to react, subconsciously looked at the emperor, and then quickly moved his gaze to the screen again, looking at the battlefield that had become ruins, and then, his eyes locked on a strange cosmic floating object.
"But the good thing is that when you experience this kind of thing, you can start with a critical eye and start by learning from other people's successes and failures."
"Isn't it good for me to study with him?"
"I've said it all, with a critical eye, so Serebro, as the villain template you once expected, is very worthy of your learning."
When Torrecchia heard this, he subconsciously turned his head to look at the emperor again, and then, he looked at the emperor and said to him coldly,
"Want to learn? You're too low, young man! ”
"When I came out of Ampera's star and conquered the world step by step, you Ken and Belial of the Land of Light didn't know what they were doing!"
