Chapter 1,239 They Need Help
Anulili has changed a lot compared to the last time we saw her.
The last time I saw her, although she was a member of the resistance organization and had the self-consciousness of a warrior, she had never experienced the test of a real war. This girl seemed a little immature. She had a shallow enthusiasm at that time. : Full of self-confidence, full of energy, and high morale, but all based on the support of beliefs and lacking a foundation in reality. But today Anulili's appearance remains the same, but she has a vaguely calm temperament. This is the transformation from a young and impulsive idealist to a veteran who has actually experienced the battlefield. It’s hard to believe that people can change so much in just one month, but in the difficult time of the past month, those who have not changed may not be able to persevere, right?
There was a hint of fatigue on Anulili's face, and it was obvious that she had not had a good rest for several days. She was wearing the uniform of a resistance organization, and she was very conspicuous among the wounded civilians wearing ordinary linen clothes: there were only a dozen people wearing uniforms like her around her, and most of them, whether they were wounded lying on the bed or The volunteers who are helping are all wearing ordinary civilian clothes. After all, no matter how strong the resistance organization is, it is impossible to prepare uniforms for every armed slave.
When we walked forward, Anulili was giving instructions to a resistance soldier wearing a headband. She only noticed everyone after finishing the work at hand, and an expression of surprise suddenly appeared on her face: "Ah! It’s you! I saw the spaceship coming just now, but I didn’t expect you to come in person. It’s great to see that everyone is safe... There is a bit of chaos here..."
"It's okay, it's okay, it looks like you're quite busy." I said casually while looking at the surrounding environment. Everywhere was the wounded and busy volunteers, some of whom even carried weapons: they had made it a habit. They wore civilian rags. He wrapped the weapon sling roughly around his body. There are all kinds of guns on the back. Everyone's equipment is almost different: in the later stages of the battle, the resistance organization was unable to provide standard equipment to arm these slaves who had not received much training, so they could only dig out all the old things in the warehouse, plus other comparisons Support armed forces sent from war zones that had been liberated early. What's the use? A large group of chaotic resistance forces were organized in this way. It can only be said that fortunately they faced only sporadic policemen. Otherwise, such a resistance force, not to mention facing the bombing of the space fleet, would probably be no match for them even if they faced the combat squad of the regular army.
But no matter what, they fought to the end and had the last laugh.
"There are many things to deal with after the war, including the wounded, diseases, industrial production and food..." Anulili said with a sad face, "The wounded are the best problem to deal with. Our treatment equipment is quite adequate. Diseases The problem is more serious than the wounded soldiers... The enemy carried out an orbital bombing, and our people had no experience in dealing with it. We also had no response ability. All the people in the bombing area close to the core of the explosion died, and those in the secondary impact zone outside the core who could have survived However, most of the people were killed or injured because they did not know how to evacuate and find bunkers. The bombs used by the enemy contained radiation, and many people in the bombing area were infected with radiation sickness, and there were also widespread high temperature complications... You know, our people lack knowledge, They don’t know how to save themselves after being irradiated, and those who have been rescued now... I don’t know how many can be saved.”
Anulili is under great pressure. Even though she has grown into a female warrior, she still finds it unbearable to face the suffering of her people. After getting more information from her, I also learned how much sacrifice these armed slaves had to make to withstand the attack of the admonition police before the imperial army arrived.
They had no knowledge and did not understand tactics. Facing the enemy's guns and bombs, almost all armed slaves were knocked down by confusion and panic. The only combat "training" these civilians have is that they know how to shoot and aim when the resistance organization hands the weapons to them. The vast majority of them don't even know how to successfully replace the energy box of the weapon. The resistance in this war zone should be the most difficult of all war zones: in other war zones, although the slaves are also poorly equipped, at least they have basic knowledge and understand what modern warfare looks like. In order to make those slaves Serving as cannon fodder will also instill certain combat skills into them from an early age, so the resistance armies in other war zones can more or less be called "armies", but here...
These advanced races that originally ruled the entire universe have been brainwashed and squeezed by the Merova people to the level of feudal civilization. Ninety-nine percent of their people cannot even be counted. Anulili's resistance group is the only one with hundreds of thousands of people on the planet who know what guns are. They distributed weapons to their compatriots, mostly in the hope that these compatriots would at least fire one shot when they were massacred by the Merova people. This was a desperate act.
Therefore, among all the war zones, the resistance forces on this planet suffered the heaviest losses. Even if the imperial army had not taken action, they would have been completely wiped out by direct planet bombing by the Merovas in a very short time: the armed slaves in other war zones At least there were ships and space weapons, whereas the slaves on this planet only used pitchforks.
But even so, I still cannot ignore the fighting spirit of these indigenous people. Although their knowledge was shallow and could even be described as ignorant, they never gave up the fight for a moment. Maybe they didn't know how to aim and shoot, and they didn't know that the power of guns was actually very weak, but they dared to raise their weapons to use up the last energy in the face of the Merovans' heavy tanks. Shandora once said that to measure a soldier, more important than to shoot an enemy, is to see whether he has the courage to raise a gun in any desperate situation. At least in this regard, every armed slave can be called a Soldier.
"They may not understand anything, but they at least understand that if they don't want their descendants to continue to suffer the same things as themselves, they can't back down." Anulili said quietly, while I watched Lilina run away. Helping to treat the wounded, while mentioning the future: "What are your plans for the future? A new life has to start, and you should have a plan now."
"Who knows..." Anulili smiled bitterly, "We have thought about how a new life will begin countless times, but no one has imagined that this moment will come so early. We don't even think that our generation can I lived to see this day, but it came so suddenly. It was really confusing. Now we still have to deal with the aftermath of the war first. Too many people fell before dawn. Those of us who survived , at least send them off. Then... we should probably solve the problem of filling our stomachs first. I know that our civilization is much weaker than other civilizations, and our primitive agricultural production can only satisfy one year's rations. Solve After solving the problem of hunger, the resistance organization must start to restore knowledge and basic industries, starting from scratch... Probably, this will delay an entire generation. Ninety-nine percent of human beings are now uncountable. Fundamentally, Unable to learn modern knowledge. Nerve agents and genetic defects destroyed their brain structure from birth. This cannot be treated at all. This generation is destined to be sacrificed. Although their blood has bought the freedom of the next generation, They cannot see the day when civilization will be restored: they can only continue their primitive life.”
Qianqian suddenly asked: "Including Anuzha?"
Anulili paused and nodded: "Yes, including Anuzha. This generation is destined to continue this primitive life. They cannot learn knowledge, understand arithmetic, and cannot adapt to civilized life. Only this generation Their children will receive genetic repair before they are born, so that they can learn knowledge normally after they are born. We will really start the reconstruction of the civilization process in more than ten years. Before that... it is all a period of accumulation. I will do it for Anuzha found a quiet place and let him live his life. The kind of unrestrained life he expected, where all he had to eat was enough. In a few years...or ten years, I think I will work for my compatriots for a while longer. , after the next generation of newborns can work, I will retire, go and accompany my brother, and spend my life quietly like this..."
Such words really shouldn't come from the mouth of a girl under twenty years old, but I know that this is the result of Anulili's careful consideration. The fate suffered by this race is so unfair. The Merovas not only destroyed their civilization, but even destroyed their ability to develop. The other slave races at least had their own technology, and they were oppressed, but at least in the modern world, and it only took them a few years to restart production facilities that had been damaged by the war. But the indigenous people on this planet have to sacrifice an entire generation and wait until the next generation grows up before they can rebuild.
That's why we can't just leave.
"The Imperial Army will not leave you alone. Don't worry, I have plans for the future. As for the problem of genetic defects...it should not be impossible to treat. I will go back and ask the Imperial Research Department to take over this project. They will definitely find a treatment method soon. , this is not a difficult task for those research geeks." I patted Anurili's slightly thin shoulders and watched the girl's expression change from bitterness to surprise, "There are also food and supplies that you are in urgent need of. You can tell me everything, right, as well as medical care. I see that your medical equipment is not very sufficient."
I looked around and saw that the medical conditions in my sight were actually quite bad. A few people can receive advanced treatment. The resistance organization has brought out some seemingly advanced treatment devices from the center of the earth base. They can quickly treat common injuries, but most people only have bandages and medicines, and even some non-fatal injuries. Injured patients can only rely on primitive herbs and water to suppress their injuries: from high-tech to primitive herbs, all stages of treatment methods can be seen here, which shows the poor medical conditions here. Anulili said that their treatment equipment was barely enough, probably just to ensure that not too many people died.
"Ding Dong, Ding Dong." I took out a small bean sprout from my pocket. Ding Dong was already very tired. In every previous battle, the little thing had been helping to brush the blood. She had almost forgotten that she was actually It's not the imperial side anymore. This little thing is still a little confused now. Seeing the little goddess squirming around in my hand in a daze, I feel a little distressed. It seems that I can't let her continue to take action personally, but now that the war is over, maybe I can use her There won’t be any taboos on the name of the church power, right?
"Dingdang is so sleepy, Dingdang wants to sleep..." The little thing climbed up my arm for two steps with his eyes closed, then slid back to the palm of his hand, curled up in a ball and continued to snore. Seeing this situation, I had no choice but to call to Lilina: "You can take over for Dingdang for the time being. We need a large number of believers in the cult here."
"Already prepared," Lilina nodded confidently. "The temples in various places are issuing mobilization announcements. I knew the boss would definitely say this. I will call the first group of people here soon."
Only then did Anulili finally find a chance to speak. She couldn't help but grabbed my sleeve: "You... thank you, thank you very much. I thought you would go back after wiping out the rebels. My mentor said that. The empire will not stop on these things. It really doesn't." When I thought you would do this, I thought..."
"Ha, Turazo still remembers things from the old empire." I said haha, "Anyway, don't worry, this is all a piece of cake for the empire, and... the Merova people also defected from the empire back then, and they created I feel like I still need the help of the empire to end the evil I have done." I watched Anulili's face glow again, and hesitantly felt that there was something else I should tell her: "There is one last thing, do you have any questions? Interested in joining the imperial camp?"
Lilina, who was using a branch as a phone next to her to discuss matters with the person in charge of the temple, suddenly looked sideways and muttered: "The boss has started again..."
I know that Anulili is not a racial leader: although she seems to be a high-ranking cadre of the resistance group now. But they are definitely not qualified to speak for the entire race. The indigenous people on this planet may choose a more respected person to speak. So I asked this question because I wanted to hear Anulili's opinion as an ordinary indigenous person. This is my occupational disease. Ever since the servant army organization was established, every time I go to a new place, I can't help but want to develop the local people into the empire. Let me tell you, if you do this too much, you will become addicted. , now Sandora has announced that I have the same obsessive-compulsive disorder as she did back then...
"The empire...camp?" Anulili frowned in confusion, and then her expression became slightly subtle, "Are you going to be loyal to you?"
The locals who had just escaped from the rule of the Merovas were already highly sensitive to the matter of being loyal to another civilization. Even the Imperial Army who had just rescued them would make the other party nervous if they rashly raised this topic.
"Don't be nervous, we are not Merova people," I waved my hand, feeling that it was a bit early to say this now, "I have time to let you understand the system of the Imperial Familia. Those brother races who have already joined the Imperial camp will probably be happy to add more. Brothers and sisters. In addition, this is a completely voluntary matter. If you join, you will naturally need to be loyal to the empire, but at the same time, you can also accept various help and support from the empire. If you don’t want to join, it doesn’t matter. You will be members of the macro world, as usual Being protected by the empire to a lower degree only means that more benefits are lost. Now... you don’t need to think about this, and I guess you don’t need to think about it. Let’s settle the matter at hand first. There is another point to explain. , these thirteen universes occupied by the Merova people must definitely be included in the territory of the empire. We cannot let these worlds wander around in the white areas of the far frontier. This will not affect your normal life. You should learn from Turazzo. But the Empire is the steward of many worlds."
Anulili reacted for a long time before nodding. It seemed that it was quite difficult for this girl who had not seen much of the world to understand these messy things, so let's stop the topic here.
At this moment, Lilina also completed her deployment. With the snap of the pseudo-loli pope's fingers, a lusè curtain like an aurora suddenly appeared in the sky, stretching into a thousands-mile city wall.
The sound of music echoed from heaven to earth.
"Don't be nervous, I just want to help you rescue the wounded." I gave a relieved smile to Anulili who looked frightened. At the same time, the surrounding resistance soldiers who were busy taking care of the wounded or waiting for treatment also noticed the strange changes in the sky. They had never seen such a light. The rich "divine light" imitated by the Merova people "It has a completely different aura from the power of a real god, so everyone was stunned.
"You know, the Merova people have always claimed that they are gods." I said with a smile to Anulili.
The aurora in the sky slowly drooped, and when it was about to reach the ground, the large-area light curtain suddenly condensed into a solid form, turning into human figures wearing lusè or white church robes. These were church knights and church priests from the Great Temple. , they arrived earlier than ordinary believers.
"Then you should see what a true servant of God is like."
Under the gaze of countless pairs of surprised and confused eyes, these devout believers of the God of Life walked out of the aurora. They did not loudly announce their arrival in the clouds, nor did they smile kindly in front of people and say "God loves the world". The only thing I did after appearing was to bow to Lilina and the Dingdang lying in my hands from a distance. Then the priests lifted up their robes and the church knights rolled up their sleeves. These sacred Followers should remember the teachings of the goddess: If an injured person is placed in front of you along with a statue of a god, save the person first, because the statue of the god will not be dimmed because of one less worship.
Lilina started to give instructions with ease: "The first knights went to the suburbs to deal with the seriously injured! The second knights went to draw the guidance array. The ascetics group was in the village and first treated those with high fever syndrome. Members above the high priest followed I'll come, there's a rescue point nearby..."
"Yes, Your Majesty the Pope!"
I patted Anulili, who was already stunned, on the shoulder: "Look, God loves the world because God really loves the world. Those idiots in Melova got it all wrong from the beginning." (To be continued. )
