Chapter 256 True Thoughts
The king's angry voice came from the palace. The army of a thousand people was wiped out. All the attendants and palace maids were so arrogant that they dared not let out. A group of ministers crawled in the palace, trembling.
"Call the army immediately... Let all your families send people to join the army. We want to expand the army, and we cannot let those lowly people oppose me. Never--" The king roared at the top of his lungs, then pushed his hand to knock a vase on the handrail to the ground, making a "click" sound.
"In three days, I must see an army of five thousand men to fight against those damn bitches!" The king glared at the ministers below, "Every minister must select a hundred slaves, bring their own weapons and food, and report to the barracks in the city in two days, and then form an army in three days."
"Yes, Your Majesty the King!" All the ministers quickly agreed. No matter how difficult it was, they were now on the same boat as the King. If the boat was broken, they would definitely not have a good result! They still had a consistent understanding of this and they would never let the untouchables turn over!
"Hal——" the king suddenly called a man's name loudly.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" A tall curly-haired man in armor walked in from the door of the hall and saluted half-kneeling to the king, "What are your Majesty's instructions?"
"Three days later, lead the five thousand army to kill all the damn untouchables, leaving no one left!" The king said as he stood up and said gritting his teeth, "I only look at the result, not the process." As he said that, he stepped forward and came to the back of the hall. Only the ministers kneeling in the hall were left.
"Get up - dear ministers!" The general named Hall slowly stood up, looking at the ministers kneeling on the ground arrogantly, and said in a very contemptuous tone, "In one day, I will see your people reporting to the military camp. If the fighter plane is delayed, you know what the consequences will be."
"Your Majesty didn't say that you would prepare it within two days-"
But General Hall glared at the man, and the minister was silent and did not dare to say anything. The men in the hall came out in a row, and only General Hall looked at the group of people outside the hall with a smile on his lips meaningfully.
In the forest, a group of people traveled through mountains and rivers and slowly walked out of the forest. Not far ahead, there was a village. Looking from a distance, although the houses were relatively simple, they looked very at ease. This was the village of a small number of these loggers.
The team was stationed in the village. Jia Huan and the others were placed in a house made of stones. Then they brought food. The food was not much, but it was quite a lot of tricks, including meat and vegetables. But the taste was really not very good. But this was the best thing they could produce.
Jia Huan and his team gathered around to eat a large plate. They cut it with the knife they brought, then ate the meat piece by piece, tear it apart from each leaf, and a large bowl of pepper soup, which tasted very pungent. Galill, his two companions and Emilia's assistant Pipp had eaten with relish, but Emilia had no appetite.
The food here is very single, with only salt. However, the mercenaries had nothing, they could eat anything, Jia Huan was not picky, and Annie was used to suffering, so it would not be difficult to swallow this kind of food. Seeing that they were all delicious, Emilia's stomach, who had not eaten much, suddenly started to scream.
It was so embarrassing. Emilia glared at Galill who was about to laugh, then stood up and walked outside. Everyone in the village knew that there were a group of villains, but they were all surprisingly silent. They did not go to watch, but instead, when walking, they were cautious, for fear that the villains would come out and be stepped on by one foot.
After passing a small road, and then standing on a hillside, you can see the entire village. The smoke from cooking was curling and a very warm pastoral wind made Emilia, who was sitting on the grass, feel a little happy. She looked at Jia Huan, who was also sitting beside her and said, "At this moment, I won't even think about my purpose of coming here."
After hearing this, Jia Huan turned his head to look at her and smiled, "What is your purpose?"
"I really want to hear it?" Emilia smiled slightly, "My mother passed away when I was a teenager. She just told me a secret. When she passed away, all my life afterwards changed, just to find out what the final answer is."
"It has something to do with the Warner Gods?" Jia Huan looked at her and said seriously. "Is this why you are determined to reach the Warner Gods and study myths across the country?"
Emilia smiled and looked at Jia Huan: "But... after so many things, I suddenly realized that compared to my purpose, I think the scenery along the way is the best. Isn't it? China's dragon, giant country, and ancient wars, uprisings, resistance, tyranny..."
"This is related to your life experience. I can't express any opinions. This may affect you. So Emilia, I heard you mention an irresponsible bastard. Can I guess that it was because a bastard from the Warner Tribe who came to human society by chance, and then... met a girl and finally gave birth to you?" Jia Huan smiled. "This kind of plot that is only in Hollywood movies is not impossible to exist in real life."
"Yes, in my impression, God—all assholes. My mother said that his name was Alexander Robbie. God knew what kind of person he was, maybe a rogue or a beggar, but no matter what his identity was, they were all God—is it ironic? " Emilia smiled a little self-deprecatingly, "I suddenly feel that I am completely troubled by myself when I look for the answer."
"So...what are your plans now? Stop searching? Then we turn around and leave?" Jia Huan looked at the woman and shrugged, "I can fully understand any decision you made."
"Do you really understand?" Emilia narrowed her eyes and looked at Jia Huan laughing, "Don't look at me like this. Actually, I don't abandon these people as you thought, and then leave here with confidence? I can't do it, I hope you don't abandon them either. They trust you very much now..."
"I know, I will be responsible, but...I'm sorry, Emilia, I still have to go to the Warner Gods. I want to know what I need to know." Jia Huan looked at her, "So... we all have a last resort."
"I will go. I promise, but I won't go to find that bastard, it's not worth it!" Emilia laughed at Jia Huan, "Do you think I'm stupid?"
"I don't have the right to judge what others do. I only know how to change myself. I believe you think so too!" Jia Huan stood up and pointed to the village with smoke rising from the cul-de-smoke, saying, "At least we are much better than them. They are facing a test of blood and fire. I will not intervene too much, but I will not let them fail!"
Emilia also stood up and stood beside Jia Huan. She watched the giants walking around the village on the other side of the village, and smiled and said, "Yes, only by letting them know the cruelty of the war, after they overthrew the king in the future, they will not easily start the war. They must bear the price."
The two stood silently, but they both realized that fate actually cared about their thoughts. Just like these giants rose up to resist, they fell into blood and fire in one thought.
There seemed to be a lot of things. Jia Huan suggested that Mt gather a few of the main responsible people and hold a roundtable meeting. This reflects an equality and a means to gather these giants. In fact, the effect is also very good. Everyone regards this as the biggest thing in their life.
The villagers agreed with this matter, and they were already dissatisfied. The accumulated resentment will burst out sooner or later, but this time, when someone led the way, they followed the trend and joined the team.
The blacksmiths in the village began to build weapons and make bows and arrows. They tried to create more weapons when the king's army came to encircle and suppress. In this process, Jia Huan became a key part of them, that is, spiritual power. It was also the divine power displayed by Jia Huan that gave these people the greatest confidence.
Jia Huan also knew this, so he handed Mt to a separate room with Emilia's accompanying him, and he told Mt about his thoughts, which was the bloodshed and sacrifice he had talked to Emilia about.
Mude was a little silent. In the first battle, dozens of lumberjacks died in battle. He felt a little sad and even felt vaguely unfair, because Jia Huan was able to destroy those past troops, but his people suffered huge losses. However, he was still grateful because at the most critical moment, Jia Huan saved them. Whether Jia Huan interfered or not, he would be grateful. This was determined by his nature.
Mu had to understand what Jia Huan meant, that is, in the process of resistance, there would be bleeding and sacrifice, even greater sacrifices and more blood than in the previous battle. But he couldn't accept it for a while, no matter who died, he felt that this was his brothers and sisters.
"You have to make a choice, Md. If you want to become a leader, if you want to let them understand the importance of peace and the cruelty of war after getting the position of kings, you have to do this, so that there will be no war in the future... It is also for yourself and your descendants!" Jia Huan raised his head and looked at him.
Although Mude had already squatted down, he still looked at Jia Huan condescendingly. This made Jia Huan a little depressed. He was really not used to talking to people like this, so he had to raise his head.
"Tell me your decision tomorrow!" Jia Huan turned around and stopped communicating with Mude. He could understand Mude's mood, but that was Mude's mood. There was no need to be compassionate like Mude. This was not Jia Huan's style. Then he sat down, closed his eyes and rested, and stopped saying a word.
When Mude left the door, he was a little heavy. He really couldn't make a decision immediately. However, he couldn't talk about such things with his friends, otherwise it would shake the morale of the army. Even if Jia Huan's help in the end, it might be difficult to save the general trend.
Just as Mde was frowning, a lumberjack suddenly ran over and said to Mde with a serious face: "Boss, there is another battle. It is a group of villains fighting with the defeated soldiers who were defeated by us last time."
"What did you say?" Mde looked at the man in surprise and asked loudly, "Is it a group of villains like our guests? They fought with the defeated soldiers? What was the result?"
"It seems that the damage is very big. The little people don't know what weapons they used, some of them flying in the sky, some of them charging on the ground, and they can spit out fire. If we could fight like this, I really don't know how the group of bad soldiers died. It seems that the bad soldiers finally escaped, and those little people... I don't know how many dead, but it's very heavy!" The man gestured, and his saliva sprayed a lot on Mude's face.
"I understand, brother, do a good job, continue to keep an eye on the group of little people and see where their ultimate goal is. I'll go see Mr. Jia now. Go--" As he said that, Mut waved his hand and asked the lumberjack to investigate again. He was cautious in his work and was as good as a general. When he was camping in the village, he sent a look at detectives.
Mde stood at the door and knocked on the door. He didn't dare to enter and exit Jia Huan's room casually, and then quietly waited for Jia Huan's call. The door opened, which was opened by Emilia. She was a little surprised by Mde's return, but she waved her head to let him in. In fact, it was a bit difficult for her to open the door here. Jia Huan waved it casually and the door opened automatically.
"Our people have investigated a battle..." Mde said to Jia Huan, "I..."
"Like people like us, they are like people from Lilliput?" Jia Huan looked up at him and smiled slightly, "How is the situation of the battle? Tell me!"
Mde felt that Jia Huan was simply a god who was predicted by the uncertainty, and quickly said, "Both sides suffered heavy losses. The defeated soldiers retreated, but the people in your country also suffered heavy losses. They relied on some strange weapons..."
"It's aircraft and tanks, as well as missiles and rockets..." Emilia, who was standing by, told Mde directly, but Mde was obviously unheard of these weapons, but his eyes were very enthusiastic, but Jia Huan shook his head and said, "Don't even think about it, Mde, this is not something that your country can make."
"They were indeed my companions before, but...they had different purposes from us, so...I got out of them. Of course...If you think about using each other with them and dealing with the king's army together, then you'd better not make this plan. Because even if their weapons are very powerful, the lethality against the army of the king of a large group is very limited, and they can't even withstand a charge from thousands of soldiers."
"I understand, Mr. Jia." Mude nodded, and he decided to follow Jia Huan's advice.
