Xiling Empire

Chapter 793 The Rule Comes to an End

No one had ever thought that Uncle Zaku, who seemed ordinary and always a little decadent, would have such an incredible past.

The current situation in the world is largely due to an adventurous operation led by him.

In a war-torn era, a group of daring adventurers accidentally obtained powerful ancient weapons while exploring ruins. They ambitiously wanted to use their weapons to end war and discrimination in the entire world, and formed a human-centered organization. The knights were frightened by the news. With the help of those powerful ancient weapons, the Knights swept through every country in the world. However, the two members of the original adventure group found this killing method unacceptable, broke up with their partners and retired to the countryside. Three hundred years later, that year The thirteen adventurers who fought endlessly with passion and an immature sense of justice have become the holy knights and holy popes who rule the world, but the two who broke away from this team gradually turned into sloppy and decadent middle-class people. Uncle Nian and the taciturn housekeeper (?), when the wheel of fate rolls again and the super civilization that once shaped the world returns, the close friends who had broken off reunited again, sat opposite each other, and could not tell the bitter tears of three hundred years. ——I began to suspect that Zaku is actually the protagonist.

Three hundred years are enough to change a lot of things, especially the hearts of mortals. This is Sandora's sigh. The story of Zaku and the Holy Pope whose real name is Rudav is very touching. Even Her Majesty the Queen does not exception. To be fair, their stories are not worth mentioning compared to the grand battles Sandora has experienced, but when things like fate touch people, they rely on more than just grandeur.

The holy pope who threw away his artificial skin has now turned into a high-speed vibrating bright ball of light, and it seems that he doesn't care about his appearance. I really don't know that it took three hundred years to make him familiar with this appearance. , or the change in life form has destroyed his normal humanity. When this small ball of light led us into the lobby of the Papal Palace, there were already twelve other church personnel who were also wearing dense long clothes and wearing masks on their faces. They were the members of the Blue Church except the Pope. The supreme ruler, the Twelve Knights whose immortality and superhuman deeds have been teleported to the entire world.

In Zaku's words, they were the twelve people who had the fiercest gang fights with him more than three hundred years ago - things have changed and people have changed over the years.

"pope?!"

The rest of the crowd in the hall had been pushed away, and only the Twelve Knights were waiting for us. They all looked worried, and when they saw their Pope appearing in his true colors, three or four of them immediately stood up involuntarily. Get up and shout in unison.

"Calm down, you can call me Rudav now." A sharp voice came from the small ball of light next to Zaku. Compared with the previous voice with a deep echo, it seemed a bit funny, but no one laughed. come out. The twelve knights in front looked at each other, they were not quite sure of the situation yet.

"Throw away those skins, we have no need for them anymore." The Pope said. Although there was no command in his words, the twelve knights still chose to obey after looking at each other. They took off their masks, and identical bright balls of light floated out from the cavities of their bodies. The "lights of souls" that were the size of table tennis balls and vibrated rapidly in the air were lined up in front of us. No one could have imagined that these tiny, seemingly fragile lights were actually the famous Twelve Knights, while Bubbles Looking at the row of small light balls, he murmured to himself: Five of them are going to mine, three are going to twine trees, and the rest should be turned into moon wells...

The Pope was silent for a moment and added: "You'd better put on your clothes, I can't tell you apart..."

I'm feeling very uncomfortable now.

Those light balls returned to their own skins neatly. I don’t know what method was used. It was obviously just a small light ball, but it made such a complex set of skins accurately expand into the appearance of a normal human being, covering the face. It really looks like a living person. It's just a bit scary when you're not wearing a mask. When you turn your face, you'll see a dark cavity with a light bulb shining brightly inside.

"From today on, the Blue Church's rule over the world of Mobrado has reached its end. Following the will of the sages, the dominance of this civilization will be returned to the coalition government and leaders of all ethnic groups," the Pope paused at the round table in the center of the hall. , based on the height from the table, I guess if he was still wearing his own "skin", it would be exactly where his normal face would be. "To ensure the normal development of the world, the sages will personally supervise the evolution of the race. Everyone, prepare to withdraw from the stage of history. .”

There was an abnormal silence in the hall. I thought that this bombshell news would trigger a storm, but in fact the biggest movement in the hall at the moment was that Bingtis and Kenser were defrauding the Golden Flower and the Twelve Knights. Facing the pope's sudden and sensational announcement, they just looked at each other and fell silent.

It seems that when one of the knights broke into the Pope's room and saw the room and Uncle Zaku, they had a premonition that a big event was about to happen, or earlier, when the sage's fleet was on the Misty Planet When the sky lit up in space, the Twelve Knights had a premonition that great changes were coming. The only thing they didn't expect was the sudden end of theocratic rule. But looking at their performance, they don't seem to be disappointed about it.

"This day has finally come," a knight with a red scale coat of arms on his clothes said in a low voice, "We have ruled this world for long enough, and the return of the saints seems to be a big enough opportunity for us to give back our rights. Reason. But you have to prove to us that this will really comes from the sages."

The other knights also nodded. It seemed that they really had no regrets about ending their rule. The only thing they had to be sure of was whether this was the sage's intention.

So I stood up and nodded seriously: "Yes, I said so."

Then the twelve knights watched in horror.

I was horrified, wiping cold sweat and remembering one thing: these twelve naked people in front of me didn't know that these guys hanging around the Papal Palace like an outing were saints!

How about pulling down the fleet to perform a return of the saints at this time? They didn't go far, because they were afraid that the people of Mobrado would get into trouble. They probably had a hard time understanding the meaning of the sage fleet announcing the oracle in the sky and then coming back to perform it again. The first explanation was that there were no individual leaders just now. When I had time to speak, "I'll add a few more words" appeared. The second explanation was that the fleet commander had made a mistake and forgot that this planet had already broadcast...

I speculated that no matter which one of these two became popular, Mobrado's theocratic society would have come to an end.

Fortunately, the Pope still knew that he should speak at this time. After he disclosed our identities, I felt that I was instantly surrounded by twelve eyes - because I was not sure whether a ball of light counted as an eye. Still two.

The Pope used his accumulated majesty to calm down the noisy discussion of the Twelve Knights for a short period of time, and then told everyone exactly what happened just now. I was doing nothing and watching Pandora and Huesca drawing a map of the world. After the war started to burn, They both also started to burn. Finally, the knights finally confirmed that the noisy guys in front of them were the mysterious and powerful sages (actually I should have kicked Bingtis out in advance), and their feelings must have been very subtle.

"The way the Blue Church rules Mobrado is no longer suitable. The peace you bring has become more and more like a shackles to the world," Sandora tapped the table lightly with her knuckles, her voice He said coldly and seriously, "Of course, the world will remember the efforts you have made, but now, in the name of the Queen of Mobrado Ancient Civilization, I declare that the dominance of this world will be returned to the coalition government. Does anyone else have any questions? "

This is a formulaic question, and no doubt will be raised when the IQ is in double digits: the IQs of the Twelve Knights obviously exceed double digits, so everyone passed.

They even showed signs of relief after being relieved of their heavy burdens.

In fact, I also discovered that not only the Twelve Knights, but also the Holy Pope himself did not show much loss after being forced to relinquish power. At most, he felt a little shocked, but more relaxed, which made people feel relaxed. ting curious.

"Actually, this heavy burden doesn't feel good at all."

A knight answered my question, "After becoming like this, we have almost forgotten how to live in a human way. The satisfaction brought by the long life and illusory power makes me feel that I am gradually becoming a human." Outside of things, many of our decisions are based on very simple judgment logic, that is, personal likes and dislikes, which have brought too much death to this world, although in the end they are all covered up by various holy sayings, But the heavy feeling of guilt is never far away from me. I’m afraid other people feel the same way.”

That's it - this is a reason for Sandora and I to have a slightly different view of them. At least it shows that their humanity has not completely left their hearts, although there may not be much left.

Perhaps they made various plans after first discovering the appearance of the Sage Battleship on the Misty Planet. The Twelve Knights and the Holy Pope quickly accepted the great changes we brought to them after the initial surprise. , knowing that certain facts cannot be changed, they began to focus on the fate of this world. No matter what they have done, their impact on Mobrado's history is still unparalleled, and at the same time, these people are probably the ones who care most about the world.

"The Blue Church will not be disbanded. We need a group of successors in each world," Sandora said slowly, "You will still have an identity similar to an 'envoy', but can you be called a successor?" It also depends on your own efforts. The absolute authority of the Holy Pope must end: before you bring more shackles to this world, I have to remove your authority. The theocratic supremacism of Mobrado civilization does not hinder the development of civilization Reason, so after you transfer power back to the coalition government, this sect can still remain, and you are basically still in your original position, but from decision-maker to executor. This is not a suggestion, but an order. "

Shandora's meaning is very clear: the Xiling Empire can select countless agents from the Mobrado people at any time, and the empire's power can easily promote thousands of guys as powerful as their twelve knights. Therefore, it is best not to have any dissatisfaction with this arrangement: if you don't do it, there are people who are willing to do it.

Of course, the Pope and the Twelve Knights should not be dissatisfied with this. In any case, they have persisted on this path for more than three hundred years. It is time to take a break, put down their burdens, and be a sounding board with peace of mind. Maybe it's the best choice, and giving them something to do in this way can guarantee their survival goal and prevent anything from going wrong.

Therefore, both the Twelve Knights and the Holy Pope happily accepted Sandora's order. Only one knight laughed at himself: "From now on, we are all puppets."

"It is not something that ordinary people can become the puppets of the empire," Lilina interjected. "And didn't you say that you were servants who carried out the will of the sages all the time? Now your dream has come true."

At this time, I glanced slightly sideways at Uncle Zaku, who was silent next to me. He was wary of this, and waved his hands repeatedly on the spot: "Don't look at me! I'm just an ordinary person, and I will never get involved in this kind of thing!"

Hey, Xiong is a guy without great ambitions.

However, his evasion is destined to be useless, the Holy Pope will definitely be replaced. Now this person is a complete extremist. He has spent three hundred years judging the life and death of billions of people based solely on his personal likes and dislikes. Now even if he becomes a puppet, he is still an unstable factor. In comparison, he has the same power and Uncle Zaku who knew the world of Mobrado seemed much more suitable, so when the uncle waved his hands repeatedly, I just gave him a threatening look: "Get ready to take over as the new pope of this world, how about we I’ll come to your house to eat all day long!”

The matter was settled like this. Seeing the depressed look on the uncle's face, I gave him a few words of enlightenment: "Actually, he is just a liaison. The real decision-making comes from the empire, and in most cases we don't It will interfere with the course of a world, you can still do whatever you like, just submit the report on time."

After saying this, the uncle finally felt at ease.

Of course, the issue of handing over the rule of Mobrado Civilization is not something that can be completed in these few sentences, but the rest is left to the church and the coalition government here to find a way to deal with it. Sandora and I are only responsible for giving orders. That’s all. After putting this matter aside for the time being, the topic finally shifted to the battle on the Misty Star.

This is also the question that everyone here is most concerned about, and there are countless people outside waiting for the answer. The former Pope and the Twelve Knights have not come forward to explain anything to the people in the past twenty-four hours. The former Regardless, at least the latter is a bit restless.

"Mobrado is about to be attacked."

Sandora said straight to the point, "The old empire has split into several forces, and one of the armies has rebelled. They regard Mobrado as their first target. Soon, this galaxy will be saturated by them."

Except for some secrets, Sandora and I explained the general situation of the matter. Of course, this is not the version of the Lilina Bible that will be finally released to the public. The processing and publication of that version will be left to the Blue Church.

The news that the galaxy was about to suffer a saturation attack from another sage army was absolutely shocking. Thirteen people, including the former Pope, remained absolutely silent and listened to our story. In the end, Uncle Zaku watched this with a sigh of relief. Bian glanced: "Wait... you didn't say this at the beginning..."

"Yes, we didn't expect this at the beginning," I shrugged helplessly. "The emergence of the rebels was a complete accident. The worst-case scenario is that they will complete their assembly within six days at most, but we have already A guidance signal has been prepared. At that time, the rebels' first attack will be deflected elsewhere, which will give us time to organize a counterattack. Now your task is to cooperate with the coalition government to prepare for the comfort and comfort of ordinary people. Drainage efforts. I think we have the ability to hold off the enemy fleet, but we need someone to keep the population at bay."

How do you calculate this? It should be regarded as the first time since the establishment of the Blue Church that it has truly accepted the orders of the sages. It may be that the past three hundred years have hypnotized itself too much. The Twelve Knights (perhaps after the return of the Pope), they should start again. (called Thirteen Knights?) seemed to be in particularly high spirits. Only Uncle Zaku said worriedly: "Politicians are very good at evacuation and comfort, but this war shouldn't be that simple, right?"

Shandora glanced at Zaku with approval. Although he was usually a sloppy and decadent middle-aged uncle, Zaku's cautious character was also very useful. Faced with her uncle's concerns, Sandora did not hide too much: "If you look at it from an ordinary civilization, the devastation of this war is unimaginable. The civilization level of the Xiling Empire far exceeds species in the conventional sense. The scale of our war is much larger than you think. But don't worry, this is the battle of the empire, the battle line should be controlled outside the defense line of the Misty Star, and the Mobrado civilization will be safe and sound as long as it doesn't cause trouble."

Shandora's words might be a comfort, but Lilina sneered slightly. The latter is of course not targeting Sandora, but the Mobrado civilization.

The reason for the ridicule is simple: this civilization is not qualified to be regarded as a servant army by Sandora, and they are not even qualified to protect their homeland.

Controlling the battle line outside the defense line of the Misty Star sounds like it is protecting the civilization within the star's defense circle, but in fact it does not regard this civilization as an existence capable of resisting at all. During the Battle of Keprulu and the Battle of Great Nebula, the empire was also protecting the local civilization, but more often than not it allowed them to fight side by side. However, the current Mobrado civilization has no fighting capacity at all.

The Pope may have realized this. His ball of light hovered quietly on the table for a long time, and he let out a sharp sigh.

"Because of my fault, Mobrado is already such a weak race."

"Three hundred years of absolute peace have resulted in Mobrado civilians barely knowing what war is. Our race lacks clear fighting spirit from top to bottom. Almost 99% of the people are accustomed to a comfortable life. The adventure group that dealt with the ruins turned out to be the bravest people in the world, just because those of us have used guns. In addition, in addition to the "Guilty Gun" as the top weapon, the weapons of the church army and the government army have been used for two hundred years. There has been no progress. The stupidest decision of the Blue Church is military development," Uncle Zaku said in a low voice, his eyes drifting to the Pope's ball of light, "In order to maintain your rule, you preach that the legacy of the saints and the blunderbuss of condemnation will always be protected. The world, and there is no need for the development of mortal weapons, so the combat effectiveness of a civilization was destroyed two hundred years ago. Now the disaster has really come, and the entire race is not even qualified to stand up."

Just when Uncle Zaku was busy teaching his good friend from many years ago, and half of us were busy watching the show, a communication suddenly came from the mental connection: "Your Majesty, the Eternal-class enemy ship has been dismantled. ”ro! .
