Dawn of a New Era Chapter 708: : New Era (4)
The news that Chen Shouyi killed the Lord of Lightning was like a stone dropped in a calm lake, spreading and fermenting rapidly in a short period of time.
East to the Rising Sun Country, West to the European Union, North to Lucy Country, South to West India, and even those occupied areas.
The whole world was shaken by it, like an earthquake of magnitude nine,
is just some rejoicing, ecstatic, some shivering, panic.
At this moment.
Holy Confederate Nations, the mood is not so good, or heavy.
This is the human kingdom of the Lord of Lightning, not only the United States, but its territory encompasses the entire North and South America, with an area of 42 million square kilometers. In a sense, this is the largest country in history.
Newport City.
This once prosperous international metropolis, the world's financial center, has rapidly become dilapidated in the past year, and will never be prosperous.
The weather is gray, the air is filled with a depressive and sad atmosphere, there are faint gunshots and crying, and countless police and soldiers wearing black clothes and the emblem of the **** of lightning are fully armed. , Patrolling the streets with a solemn expression.
Since the night of the incident, Xingang City has been under total martial law and entered a state of first-level combat readiness. All the people have been strictly ordered not to get out of the door, otherwise they will be killed.
James exhaled and gestured to the young partner: "Smoke a cigarette."
Hawke nodded.
The two walked to the corner, James took out the cigarette and threw one over, lit the cigarette and took a deep breath, exhaling thick smoke.
No one spoke, everyone was thinking about their thoughts silently.
James also understands.
In the past year, with faith as the key link, informants are popular, spies are everywhere, cruel and torture are daunting, society is becoming more and more oppressive, and people have become cold and defensive. They are arrested or killed on the spot. There are more than a dozen unbelievers.
Although he knows that many people are innocent.
Sometimes an unintentional remark, once negligent, is evidence of blasphemy.
As a policeman, he can't help himself, and he can't even have the slightest sympathy. Maybe in the next second, he will be arrested, and the informer will be the people around him.
Feeling a bit uncomfortable with the depressed atmosphere, James spit out a smoke ring to break the silence:
"I heard you talked about a girlfriend?"
"It's divided!" Hawke said silently.
"Done?" James was surprised.
"She's just a shallow faith, she doesn't have much faith at all. Rather than being sent to jail in the end, it's better to leave earlier." Hawke glanced at him, was silent for a while, and said.
James patted him on the shoulder and said: "This is very good. As a policeman, relatives are the most taboo. You must be strict with yourself. This period of time... even more so."
Hawke nodded, confused.
He has also felt that a huge storm is faintly brewing in the seemingly peaceful Holy Confederacy.
The Lord of Lightning has fallen. How could it happen that nothing happened? This incident led to the complete collapse of the foundation of the Holy Alliance nation-state—faith, the priests can be in power, the power that depends on the gods, the believers follow.
Soldiers can condense together and obey orders, relying on faith in "the Lord" and fighting for the Lord.
But when the **** of faith has fallen.
The foundation that was originally condensed into one strand no longer exists.
……
However, these are none of their business. They are just little policemen.
Soon after the fall, their former policemen were notified to re-employ them. The only difference was that they changed their uniforms. After all, no matter how society changes, these experienced policemen are still necessary.
is only foreseeable. In the next period of time, the social atmosphere will become extremely depressed, and they will become more busy.
At this time, gunshots came from a distance:
"There is a situation!" Hawke said.
"Leave it alone, it's none of our business, we just need to maintain law and order." James motioned to the soldier in the distance and said.
The two looked at each other and suddenly laughed.
For some reason, Hawke suddenly felt a long-lost relaxation, as if a heavy boulder had been removed from his chest, and everything around him became brighter.
Go **** faith,
Fuck the Lord of Lightning,
I'm an unbeliever!
……
Hwaseong, the capital of the Holy Alliance nation.
In the conference room of a magnificent cathedral newly built this year, thousands of priests from different dioceses gathered together and argued fiercely.
Everyone's face is anxious, excited, angry and mixed with sadness, loss and anxiety.
The fall of the Lord of Lightning made them feel as if the sky had fallen, but they were more worried about their situation.
Just over ten hours ago, they were still excited about the Lord of Lightning’s coming to the world, planning for global unification, what rewards they will get, and discussing how the whole world will become beautiful .
However, what I didn't expect at all was that it was a bolt from the blue.
A nightmare that I don’t want to recall.
is over, it's all over.
"Quiet and quiet..." On the rostrum, the leader called for a few unsuccessful calls, and suddenly said angrily: "Shut up, **** me."
This is an elderly white man wearing a crown, silver hair, meticulous combing, his bulging blue eye bags, and a majestic glance, the meeting room quickly quieted down:
"It's all a bunch of waste!"
"The sky still can't fall, which parish has a rebellion now? We also have nuclear bombs, and we also have the army. They are a part of our interests, and even a part of us."
Yes, many people are gradually getting over it, and their hearts are settled.
The military cleanup these years ~ IndoMTL.com~ Who can be in position is spotless, pure and innocent, everyone is their own people with vested interests.
As long as the army is not chaotic.
Even if the country is chaotic, it is temporary.
And there is a sea between North and South America and the world island. This is a heavenly chosen place. With the current level of science and technology of human countries, who can enter?
What's more, the Holy Confederacy is not muddled.
Even if there is no "master", they are the overlords of the world.
……
The meeting will end soon.
The teacher stood up, walked out of the meeting room quickly, and attended another meeting.
There are the main generals of the Holy Confederacy.
Don’t look at his confident face in the previous meeting, everything is under control, but in fact, he knows better than anyone that the situation is now at stake, and walking a tightrope is not an exaggeration.
How did the former Lucy country disintegrate?
And now the situation of the Holy Confederate Nations is a hundred times more severe, a thousand times more severe than then.
This is the breakdown of faith!
is also the collapse of popular sentiment.
A bad one, the entire Holy Confederate nation will fall apart overnight, and even warlords will fight.
When he was the leader, and the priests who had been aloof, it would be difficult for him to survive.
