Verse 307, Truth
The secret room was already full of people, and in the middle was General Bruce sitting on a stretcher. After walking back and forth in the chamber a few times, the Pope finally came to his end, and some of his subordinates had already closed their eyes.
"Tell me what's going on?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. In the past few days when I have been resting in bed, I have been thinking about this question in my head, what is the real righteousness, and what is what the people are thinking in their hearts. Because, after we entered the Sword Country, we have seen too much bloody wind and rain, and the sixth squad of the Black Walker, the most powerful assassin unit in my heart, ended up with me alone. It's not that our troops aren't trained hard enough, it's not that our tactics aren't meticulous enough, it's that we go in and find that we're stuck in a people's war quagmire of national struggle, where even a child can be our enemy, even a farmer can betray our whereabouts, where our shadows have become their bright spots, and we have nowhere to hide, and we are always carrying out our plans with fear, and every step is bought with the blood of our companions. Ladies and gentlemen, can you tell me why this qiē is. If I'm not mistaken, we should all be killed by now, right?" Bruce's eyes were almost bloodshot. It's as if I've been tormented by nightmares for a long time these days.
"Yes, all of them have gone to our God of Light. Many people have the same expressions as you do now, with a look of unwillingness and a look of doubt. That's why I really want to know why this qiē is. General Bruce, the dead soldiers can't die in vain, I want you to tell us the answer, only then will we know what we are wrong, only in this way. Only the Western Continent could be truly peaceful and prosperous, and when the God of Light created this world, he did not want his people to live in terror and darkness, in hatred and war, in grief and pain. The Pope said excitedly.
"Your Majesty, where should I start? Who should I start with, before I met you, I had a bunch of things to tell you in my head, a bunch of important information to tell you, but after the Great Dharma Protector died, it seemed that none of this was very important. I'm going to tell you a story about the Demon Envoy Gerald, and a little bit about the history of the Sword Nation in the last two years. ”
"Demon Envoy Gerald, in our existing intelligence system, should be called Prince Gerald. As for how and when he became an envoy, no one knows. Just two years ago, after the death of the old king, the ministers of the entire Sword Nation were divided into two factions, one supporting the eldest prince Akbi, because since ancient times, the throne of the Sword Nation has been passed down from generation to generation, and the other supporting the prince Gerald. Because the intelligence he has shown since he was a child has already alarmed everyone here, and what is even more interesting is that. This Prince Gerald was also good at war, and in the past in the struggle for hegemony among various countries, he repeatedly performed miraculous feats and quickly established his prestige in the army. The two factions fought for a full year before it came to an end, and the eldest prince Akbi took over the throne. Gerald, on the other hand, was relegated to Marina City. Binhai City is located in the north of the mainland, an extremely cold place, of course, the products are quite rich, all kinds of rare treasures, precious medicinal materials. Ubiquitous. Otherwise, the Sea Clan would not have agreed to our conditions. Here, all the forces of the Sword Country finally breathed a sigh of relief, because the battle for royal power is a self-destructive act in any country, not to mention the conquest wars in front of it everywhere, and there are enemies everywhere. Akbi was okay, he didn't listen to his first administrator, Elberta, and killed his younger brother. Of course, Gerald is also honest, and he takes his men to hunt every day, and Marina City is only managed by him. Until the fire and demon calamity, His Majesty summoned the kings of various countries, the contradiction of the country of the sword intensified again, the military has been asking for the reactivation of Prince Gerald, but Elberta directly vetoed, and Akbi took his queen to the city of glory for a vacation, the court quarreled every day, and he ignored it, and indulged in the gentle country of Edra after me every day, not asking about political affairs. The Great Protector Ye Dou couldn't stand it anymore, because the scourge of the Flame Demon suddenly rose up, and if it was not extinguished while it was still under control, the consequences would definitely be unimaginable, not to mention that other countries had already begun to send troops. The Great Protector of Yadou brought all the high-ranking members of the Holy See to the City of Glory to visit the king, but the king still closed his doors. Until, someone from the military went directly to Marina City to find Gerald, and the matter was no longer something that the Great Protector could control. With that, Bruce took a sip of water and continued when he saw that everyone was still looking at him.
"The military quickly blocked the entire Sword Country, the Sword Country could only enter and not exit, all the passes were strengthened and guarded, and the Great Protector of Yadou and other high-ranking people were all charged in Glory City along with the king. At this time, Akbi finally had a sense of crisis. His first chief executive had already been sentenced to death by the military for treason, and by the way, his family had been confiscated. And the royal guards belonging to the king, except for the few thousand people they carried with them, all defected to Gerald's side at this moment. The king consulted the Great Protector, and the Great Protector could only take the high-level people to set off again, acting as the king's lobbyist, but unexpectedly, in the end, he ended up in captivity, at the beginning, Gerald and his new government did not embarrass the people of the Holy See, but were only bound to freedom, and they were entertained with good food and drink every day. Until the Sea Clan got the Marina City by virtue of their military exploits, the whole country under the leadership of the Gerald regime, set off a new trend of thought of large-scale military training and rebellion against the Holy See of Light, all the news that was unfavorable to the Holy See was circulated among the common people every day, when the soldiers of the Sea Clan drove to the Coastal City, they were greeted by fire and sword shadows, killing and blood, but the Sea Clan still has the method of the Sea Clan, as long as it is within 200 nautical miles of the sea, the Sea Clan can rely on the power of the sea to directly involve all the enemies who resist themselves into the sea。 Marina City belongs to the Sea Clan from now on, but someone as strong as Gerald will definitely not admit defeat. He finally sent all his grievances to the Holy See, and all the Bright Churches in the Sword Country were destroyed, and everyone was collectively relocated to the Sword Capital. Since then, he has lived a semi-captive life. The Great Protector of Yadou and all the people encouraged each other, believing that the God of Light would not abandon them and would not watch the people of the Sword Nation live in the sword from now on. But since their captivity, they have seen almost no one who can deliver messages. What's even worse is that everyone thought that this kind of semi-imprisoned days would end until the Pope had cleared the Flame Demon, and everyone was also working hard to cultivate and prepare for the next stage of more complicated work. While everyone let their guard down, the prohibition of black magic fell from the sky. The entire team has since been imprisoned in the courtyard of the Jiannan Spring Garden. It was dark and I couldn't cultivate, and in the half month that I was gone, I heard that even food was not provided anymore. Our men were divided into six groups, hoping that before the team starved to death, His Majesty could quickly rescue them after learning the news. But I knew it when I saw that the team that was following me split in two as soon as I left the Land of Swords. Even if I send the news, I guess they are all lucky. Your Majesty, they died so miserably, and my brothers, almost all of them were beheaded and dismembered, and they didn't have a complete corpse when they died. You must avenge them. Bruce coughed excitedly.
"The culprit is none other than Gerald, an extremely dangerous and narcissistic magician. Bruce said categorically. (To be continued......)
