Chapter 147 Chain reaction
The warm sunlight dispelled the gradually increasing cold autumn, but this did not make the atmosphere in the palace active at the same time. *** In fact, the beginning and ending things that have happened during this period have scared many people in the Kingdom of Marco, and they can't even believe that their country will have such turmoil. Over the whole month, three or four large and medium-sized commercial cities have been attacked by unknown people, presenting a terrible situation of half-destroy or even completely destroyed. The situation is equally harsh among the various border villages.
"Max! That's your plan! You want to give me an explanation!!"
Max lowered his head and looked at the plan that was thrown at his feet by His Majesty the King's angry and sneered. This time, the king obviously did not mean to give Max face anymore. From the fact that he did not even discuss with him in the study as usual, but instead exuded his temper in the hall of the court meeting, it can be seen that the king was no longer willing to give the kingdom of Marco to some special reputational rights.
"In just a few dozen days, three large commercial cities have been destroyed, which even exceeded the losses our kingdom suffered during the war! And can't you find the trace of the enemy yet?!!"
"Mr. Max, I want to remind you..."
The financial officer next to him was indifferent and took the blame.
"In addition to these three cities, the farms and villages outside the Kingdom have also suffered a lot of losses, and not only that. Now the Kingdom's commercial transactions with foreign countries have also dropped significantly... and due to this, domestic food prices have also begun to rise, and some places have even stopped grain trade... I wonder if you, as the commander-in-chief, should you assume the responsibility of your due?"
"And it's not just that!"
It seems as if everyone has a grudge against Max, and it will be uncomfortable if you don’t take the opportunity to take revenge. But from another perspective, the situation in China is indeed quite bad now.
"Just two days ago, the team transporting armed supplies was also attacked by those bandits! If we hadn't rescued in time, even the mecha would have been taken away by them. Once those brutal bandits possessed this weapon, things would have become more troublesome! Lord Max. Now is no longer the time for you to say that you can wait and see! We must take action!!"
"action?"
Max raised his snow-white eyebrows slightly upwards, and he raised his head with a serious expression and stared at the person who was talking just now.
"So tell me, how do you act?"
"Of course, I'll find the other party and catch them all in one go!!"
"Then tell me how to find the other party?!"
Max snorted coldly, while the man stayed open for a long time, and finally didn't know what to say.
"Find out? Green Shade City, Nightingale City, Fisch City, Serinaya City... You don't know their location! Two are in the south of the kingdom, one in the north, and the other in the southwest. So, who can you tell me what the next moves of these people are? Which city are they going to attack? Can you see their attack track? Since you say that, then tell me, which city they will attack next?!"
Everyone fell into silence. In fact, this was also a problem in Max. If the other party was just a team good at sabotage and assassination, it would be much easier to find, after all, they had signs and goals to find. But these people were completely beyond Max's expectations. They did not care whether the city they destroyed and the people they killed had strategic value. It seemed that in their eyes, there was no difference between civilians and royal members. Reprinted from the fact that in order to lure them to take the initiative, Max even persuaded the king to move the large-scale ceremony held two days ago to another city, and at the same time, it also released the wind to let the entire kingdom know about this. For this strategy, Max even mobilized the strongest army he had never mobilized to assist. But the whole dictionary
The ceremony was calm from the beginning to the end, and there was no danger. At the end of the ceremony, the news the king received almost made him faint on the ground - another city changed into a pile of ruins when the ceremony was held, and it was the city where they were located. All this even made the Marco Kingdom's most experienced generals feel a headache. Since the other party has the power to destroy a city, it is naturally not because of insufficient strength, but what is their target? Assassination of the king? Obviously not like... But having such powerful abilities but only playing in other countries is really confusing. Moreover, the other party's actions have no trace of track to follow, and it is impossible to infer their next actions.
"It's obviously a conspiracy by the Leah Empire!!"
Another person shouted.
"We should protest against the Empire of Yulia! And declare war!!"
"Declare war?"
This time, the king snorted coldly. He clenched his fists and stared coldly at the person who was talking stupidly, and the surroundings became quiet at this moment.
What a joke, even if everyone knows that this is indeed done by Leah, what reason do they have to send troops?
In other words, even if they send troops, with the strength of Marco's kingdom being tossed, it is still a question whether they can deal with each other. If Yuria catches the handle and bites it back, then the glory of Marco's kingdom will end here.
I can't beat it, but I can't stop it.
Even Max cannot solve this problem.
Moreover, now the country of Marco is gradually turbulent, and those talented people who were originally hidden like rats have launched a crazily counterattack. They massacred villages, buried women and children alive or burned them to death. They cut off the land and placed them at the intersection of the road. Even when facing the structural warriors who came to encircle them, these people no longer just escaped as if they had forgotten their fear. They rushed forward fearlessly and died with the enemy. In just a few dozen days, the structural soldiers who had absolute advantages in the monsters actually lost hundreds. And these damn monsters are good.
As if it was agreed, it never harassed the cities with strong city walls, but specifically targeted those villages to attack. Since there were no soldiers in the villages, only some ordinary soldiers were responsible for defense. With their local power, they were not opponents of those talented and organized talented people at all. Although many people hoped to send organized soldiers to protect the villages, the royal family and the military could not say anything about it. After all, when the Marco Kingdom faced talented people in the past, it had overwhelming power. Although there were sporadic resistance, the arm could not twist its thighs after all, and occasionally one or two people would not have any special impact.
But now it is different. These talented people seem to no longer be afraid of death. Although some people are still tied to a stake every day, this seems to have no deterrent effect at all, and instead inspires them to retaliate wildly. One city even found that the head of a village was hung above the city gate the next day after the talented people was stolen, representing the naked revenge and anger.
Under such abnormal circumstances, the military is not sure at all. If the crazy talented monsters get the structural weapons, will they become stronger and more difficult to deal with?
So in the face of the information coming from all over the country, the military could only act deaf and dumb. This obviously aroused the anger of the local parties. But at present, they could not do anything more than strengthen the defense of large cities and military fortresses.
"This is called blooming on all sides."
Looking at the virtual image of Ephinia in the gem, Yiming replied with a smile.
"There is no main force, and there is no place for the main force. When they can't figure out what we want to do, they will naturally become cautious, and this just happens to fall into our trap... Now it seems that everything goes well."
"If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to use this tactic."
Euphinia did not mean anything negative, but she still said to Yiming in a sincere tone.
"So, I wish you all the best, and, I hope to bring Max, Andale and Fiara's heads when you return victoriously."
"I'll do my best."
Yi Ming nodded slightly to show that he understood. He did not breathe a sigh of relief until the image of the Lord of Heaven disappeared.
"I'm so exhausted."
(End it quickly, and then go back to our home.)
Mayalie obviously gently stroked Aini, who was already asleep in her arms, said to Yiming with a hint of dissatisfaction.
(It's really troublesome to be able to take a bath in the wild recently.)
It is obvious that the reason why she made such a suggestion was purely due to private reasons. After all, almost all the city is martial law now, and most cities have even closed the gates, and hotels no longer receive guests. This makes Meyali, who can only bathe and clean in the wild, is quite dissatisfied, but there is nothing we can do about it.
"It's almost over."
Yi Ming looked up at the beautiful scenery in front of him and shrugged his shoulders.
"Dad, we can go back...that country called Yuliya, won't they really treat us as monsters?"
Until now, Icefish is still a little worried. Although Marien and others are very friendly to her, Icefish is not stupid. She knows very well that they cannot determine that the country they are in is the same because the people in front of her are very nice to her. After all, the policies of a country cannot be completely linked to the attitudes of their people. Moreover, Icefish suffered a lot of harm in the Kingdom of Marco, so until now, she was just talking to Marien and others politely, and instinctively still with them.
The distance was widened. This made Yiming and Mayali very helpless, but there was no way. After all, in essence, they were people from two worlds. For them, people in this world were similar to aliens, even if there were national disputes and conflicts between them. But just like in the eyes of Martians, there was no difference between yellow-skinned and white-skinned humans, both were biped animals. In the eyes of ice fish, these people were all "people in another world". There was no difference at all.
If you want ice fish to eliminate the vigilance of "people in another world", it may take some time to be together before it can have some impact.
"Then, the final battle is coming."
"Yiming, are you really not going to unite with those talented people?"
Marien was still a little confused, and her doubts were not unreasonable. However, her thoughts were completely different from Yi Ming.
"No plan. I said, I don't like being a hero, and I don't want to lead others to overthrow a regime...and, if I do, what would Yuria think?"
"…………this…………"
Facing Yiming's rhetoric, Marien finally chose to remain silent. Indeed, with Yiming's strength, as long as he unites the talented people everywhere and with their help, it is very possible to overthrow the regime of the Marco Kingdom. But after that, how will the empire view Yiming? Those talented people have been fed up with the oppression of ordinary people. Naturally, they will not live in peace with the Yuli people, and the heroes who appear in this situation will easily arouse personality cult. At that time, facing Yiming, who has a strong and absolutely loyal force in his hands, neither the royal family nor the academy's judging board will be taken lightly.
"I think I need to explain it to you."
Yi Ming had a correct expression and said seriously to Marian, Belloga, Mailer and others.
"I came to carry out the tasks assigned by the Empire to me, not to fight for these talented people. But I just judged that it would be easier to complete my mission. I have always believed in my own things and I have given them a chance. Whether the fate of this country can be changed is not in my hands, and I don't want it in my hands. I just want to vent my personal anger by the way. And, to be honest, I don't think... these talented people can control the country well." He stared at Mailer and said word by word.
"This wildfire is beyond control. All we can do is wait for it to burn itself."
In the Kingdom of Marco, how deep is the hatred between talented people and ordinary people?
No one can answer this question at all, but along the way, the cruel and fierce counterattacks of those talented people have shown that the grudges and entanglements between the two sides cannot be resolved, nor do anyone want to resolve all this. The talented people have always been regarded as monsters, wantonly killed, and died in the cheers of ordinary people. Of course, they cannot live in peace with these guys. For the people of the Marco Kingdom, the talented people have always been fierce, cruel, and terrible monsters. How can humans live with monsters? As for those talented people who hope to live with ordinary people, they have already gone to the Yuli Empire. And those who stayed are either occupied by the anger of hatred or extremists who never believe they can get along with ordinary people.
This is an irreconcilable and completely irreconcilable contradiction.
Even if Yi Ming used the slogan of hope that talented people would live in peace with ordinary people, no one would respond to his call, because both sides had never thought about living in peace.
One remains, the other dies.
This is a struggle that either you die or I live.
So Yiming simply let go and let them fight. When the power of both sides is almost exhausted, then let the Yuli Empire take over. After all, the hatred accumulated by the talented people over the generations also needs to be vented. This is not a matter that can be resolved by just saying "peace".
The more vigorous the flame burns, the sooner it will be when it goes out.
"Then, the final battle is here. Mailer, order your magical corps to be ready, and issue an order to Yuri to bring those people to meet us. He has been running around and running these days. I guess he is tired... Next, as long as we release information, the other party will definitely take action."
"But Lord Max is a smart man, Yi Ming. Can you... with such an obvious plan?"
"You forgot a little bit, Marian."
Facing Marien's replies, Yi Ming proudly stretched out his finger and shook it.
