Power and Empire Chapter 1349: Meeting on a narrow road
"The truth is cruel. Heroes and servants are synonymous!"
The fat man looked away from Palschenna’s beautiful figure with complicated gaze, with a somewhat self-deprecating tone in his tone. If you really talk about the servants, the biggest servant of the entire Ikadiva is Fatty. Myself,
" Because of this, did you order them to be wiped out?" Palschenna recovered from the trance, raised her face and asked sadly, her eyes flashing with a halo of tears. , It can be seen that this is really a very big impact relative to Palschenna. She has seen mountains and rivers broken and tragic. When the Normans broke through the southern part of Salander, millions of refugees fled to the north like a tide, and there were countless dead bodies along the way. , That kind of sight will wake her up even if she dreams at night,
The letter from my sister’s family made her heart tangled together suddenly. On the other side of the sea, what happened to the Salanders who were looted and trafficked by the Normans?
sister did not say a word in the letter,
But the desolation and sorrow revealed between the lines is like a strong and insoluble coldness. It is the weakness of the Salander dynasty, the cruelty of the expedition army, and the deepest disappointment from the heart.
The only comfort is that at the end of the letter, Palslia said that she has gone to the three northern counties and will start a new life in that remote land, watching her children grow up. , Forgot all the memories of the original unbearable look back, and also said that if Palschenna had time, she could go to the city of Remire in the three northern counties.
Seeing Palschenna’s sadness, the fat man sighed, and did not directly answer Palschenna’s question, but said.
"If they choose to return to China after destroying Normandy, then I will make them the heroes of the empire! Unfortunately, they lost their way in the face of desire and hope, standing on the opposite side of the empire, and the soldiers reap the glory and rewards. It should be, but when the desire is beyond its own abilities, and even reaches the level of betraying its own country regardless of right and wrong, then it is self-defeating!"
"They are all dead?"
Palschenna cherished the letter in her arms, and asked with a hint of luck
There is a long ocean, and news from Normandy often takes a month or two to reach Salander, so most Salanders don’t know that there are more than 10,000 people in the expeditionary army building roads in Normandy.
" Without them, many people have contributed to the empire. I am not so unsympathetic. I only ordered the execution of a few leaders of the expeditionary army! "The fat man's voice stopped, and he didn't want to hide from Palschenna, shaking his head and smiling bitterly. "So I never think of myself as a hero! The feeling of this word is not glory, but sadness!
" It’s said that the Vickia Falcon is a cold-blooded tyrant, but I know myself that I am not hardened enough to let the soldiers who once belonged to the empire mob the wilderness. I ordered the burial of all the expeditions who died in that war. Soldiers, and did not continue to hold their families in the empire’s mainland accountable. The other 10,000 people will return to China in a month. Although I also want to send them back as quickly as possible, you know that new immigrants need ships more. Priority must be given to non-immigrants now!"
"Thank you!" Palsqina's eyes were blurred, and two lines of tears were left behind. They were tears of emotion. She knew that the fat man didn't lie to her, otherwise she didn't need to give such a clear promise to release her after a month. This can't be deceived!
"Okay, like you, I hope that this turmoil will subside like this. Salander needs peace. I asked me if I don’t want this kind of hatred to spread from generation to generation! I promised Nilai and you, I Working hard to keep my promise!"
The fat man smiled at the corners of his mouth, showing a look of relief. "Actually, I wanted to talk to you a long time ago. Today, I can clarify the expeditionary army's affairs and the guilt in my heart can be reduced. Now let’s talk about the sky. Let’s teach the future!"
" If it’s a matter of civilians choosing a saint? I can agree! But other people in the temple, I am not very sure. "This time, Palschenna hardly hesitated, but it also said that the high-level temple Will inevitably strongly oppose it
Fatty knew that it was the letter of the family and the truth about the expeditionary army that both proactively moved Palschenna,
As long as Palschenna agrees, it will be easy. As for those high-level people, the fat man pouted his lips in disdain. Do you need to consider? This group of idiots who have never had an intelligence of more than 90 minutes will be able to stand in front of them unscathed in more than ten minutes, even if those idiots still have the qualifications to stay.
But in front of Palschenna, the fat man nodded his head with a dignified look.
" I can understand your concerns at the high level of the temple! But I believe that the high level is not someone who is completely unaware of the flexibility. Although this change is sudden, if you try to restore it, you should still be forgiven. Of it"
"It’s hard to say, the elders are okay, and the other high priests are too...
. . . . "Where does Palschenna know the plan of this shameless person, she is still helping him with a kind heart, and said softly
"I understand them, unless they can get real benefits, otherwise I will never agree"
"It would be fine if you told me earlier, at least not so hastily. It seems that only I will go and talk to them one by one. As long as I can prevent them from taking the initiative to oppose, it will be the greatest victory." Palschenna stood up anxiously
"No hurry!" The fat man waved his hand to her and said, "What I call the future of the temple is not about the saints. You also know that the territory of the empire has doubled in two years. That is force. The result of the conquest looks like a beautiful scenery. In fact, I know very well that, except for the local Wichiya, almost all have more or less problems. In just a few years, several kingdoms have been unified together. Maybe I am here and the empire is the empire. The Falcon Banner is invincible, but if I'm gone, the empire will fall apart immediately, and the war will begin again!"
"You are still so young, why would you think about this?" Palshanna froze a little, and looked brightly at the ruler of the empire. Such words really don’t look like an invincible falcon on the battlefield. What should be said
"Teacher, you forgot, I have a son!"
The fat man's face blushed when he was seen, with an awkward smile, his eyes looked at the sunlight outside the window, and he said rather simply, "Man is such a weird animal. If you don’t care about it, you won’t think about it, but once there is I want to worry about it, and I can’t wait to arrange everything. The cohesion of the empire should not only be military, but also a cultural cohesion! So I want to make the sky religion the state religion of the empire! I will allow the sky religion to be in any part of the empire The land is taught, and temples are set up in every city, protected by the imperial army, even if it is my compensation for the great reform of the sky teaching"
" All cities have set up sky temples!" Palschen’s face was stunned, and his eyes widened like a deep pool, spreading the sky teaching to all parts of the mainland. It is the life of countless outstanding sky priests. I’m working **** my dream, but it’s too difficult to realize the whole wish.
Except for the mainland of Salander, other countries in Ikadiva do not believe in religion, and the countries are closely guarded, so the spread of the sky religion is very slow, even if it took hundreds of years, the sky religion There is also no distance across the strait, which is evident in the difficulty
But now Fatty says he wants to support Sky Cult as the state religion of the empire. For Sky Cult, who was greatly injured in the war, this is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The empire’s power map has enveloped the entire Ikadiva continent. The sky teaches to become a country.... . . . .
Palschenna didn’t dare to think about it anymore, but her trembling body had already betrayed her inner trembling "rumbling," Two loud muffled thunders flashed through the air. The outside began to mess up, and there seemed to be a sound of kindness, and a dark plume of smoke appeared at the top of the mountain.
"What's wrong?"
The fat man pretended to be displeased and shouted outside the door. A guard opened the door in a flustered expression and reported to him, "Your Majesty, there are two explosions from the top of the mountain, Master Statunko. I have taken someone to check it out!"
" There was an explosion on the top of the mountain?" Palschenna changed her face when she heard the report from the guards. She quickly opened the window and glanced at the place where the black smoke was rising, her pretty face suddenly Lost the blood" That... That seems to be the Nordenham Temple where I live!
"It looks like a dog jumped over the wall!" The fat man snorted angrily next to him.
"That...then what should I do now" Palschenna looked flustered, looking at the top of the mountain in horror,
She knows that this explosion has absolutely nothing to do with her. If she hadn’t come here by herself, she should have turned into a pile of pieces of meat with the black smoke. As a clergyman who doesn’t care about the world, he has absolutely nothing to deal with. This kind of mutation experience,
"There is nothing to be afraid of, but it was an unsuccessful assassination!" The fat man comforted her, and then shouted "come" to the door
Two guards in full armor walked in quickly
"Prepare a smaller set of armor!" The fat man told the guards, and the guards turned and walked in, holding a pair of armor on a plate, which was exactly the same as the armor of the black guards. , It’s just a bit smaller, it’s obviously well prepared
"This armor. Mouth..." Palschenna's eyes flowed, revealing a confused look
"For you!" The fat man looked at Palschenna unabashedly, "I thought that they would stop this ceremony by getting rid of you! So I have prepared such an armor long ago. , And asked you out of the temple. Now it seems that the other party has really done it. The Nordenham Temple can’t go back! Fortunately, the ceremony will be tomorrow, and they will find that you are not there, so they will start searching immediately. , Now the only way is to go down the mountain!"
"Go down the mountain!" Palschena
"You will go down the mountain with them right away. There should be no problem with their protection. As long as tomorrow is over, everything else is not a concern!"
"What about you!" Palschena looked at the fat man affectionately and bid farewell,
" I, hehe, just give them ten courage, and they dare not find me here. "The fat man sneered at the corner of his mouth, showing strong confidence
" Okay!" Palschenna bit her lip, nodded with infinite beauty, and drove everyone out. The fat man was no exception. After a while, the door opened and she was completely black. The first Palschenna appeared in front of the fat man. This black armor looked a bit generous on her slender figure, but still could not conceal her peerless elegance. Fortunately, the visor of the helmet was put down and basically looked at it. Nothing unusual
"Don't worry, there is me here!"
The fat man held the frightened Palschenna's hand, and under Palschenna's reluctant gaze, he sent Palschenna to the horse, and several black armor captains also turned over. The mountain road downhill gradually turns into small black spots in the distance,
Put Palschenna away, and the fat man waited intently for Statunko to bring back the explosion at the top of the mountain. Who is there, who is not, who has gone to the Nordenham Temple, who is naturally in the temple 'S opposition,
Those who didn’t go, even if they weren’t those who supported Palschenna, they were at least neutral. These were all objects that the Empire could fight for. Time passed by, and soon after an hour, Si The list of injured persons sent by Tatunco also reached the fat man’s hands. The densely packed names made the fat man feel heavy in his hands.
Fatty glanced over, and was slightly taken aback. Monroe, the High Priest of the Presbyterian Church, and the High Priest of Timothy, who had met when he was greeted, appeared on the list. It is not unusual, but among the four elders, except for being dead. Adonis, the dean of the doctrine who has fallen, and Ivan Brown, the dean of the priest who rarely shows up, are not on the list.
This is a good phenomenon. Tomorrow’s saintess ceremony would be really troublesome if the priest Ivan Brown, who is responsible for the sacrificial worship, is missing. Although it is possible to find someone temporarily to make up the number, it is obvious in the name of orthodoxy. It's a lot weaker, and the other party is not on the list. It also shows that the only high priest in existence has little to do with the saint, and tends to remain neutral.
"The first team~IndoMTL.com~ follow me to the temple of worship!"
The fat man picked up the cloak at the door, took the reins of the horse from the guards, and led a group of cavalry guards straight to the sacrificial hall located on the right cliff of the top of the mountain. Along the way, he saw a lot of panic middle and lower priests. The explosion caused the entire Holy Mountain to panic,
Especially this time there was news that all the high priests were killed in the explosion. Rumors spread all over the place, saying everything. There were also some residents under the mountain who came to watch the excitement. There were too many people, the more they went up. , The narrower the road, even if there are black armored guards driving, it will not pass for a while
"Dismount, let's walk up!"
Fatty said sharply. He turned over from the horse and jumped directly towards the mountain road in front. He was only wearing an ordinary guard armor, and he was not afraid of being recognized by others.
A dozen guards from the first team hurriedly got off the horses and tied them to the trunks of the roadside. The arms of the horses had the mark of the legion. Even if they were left empty, they were not afraid of being led away. Military horse is a felony in any country,
The people watching the excitement in front, saw a group of imperial soldiers coming up murderously, and they were so scared to get away in a panic.
Fatty all the way up, and just about to turn into the fork in the road leading to the sacrificial temple, he suddenly heard a cold hum from the other side of the fork, "Why is this imperial dog again! Is it already a dog running around now?" (To be continued) [This text is provided by Qihang Update Team@偶氏尊尊] If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly pass.
