MTL - Darkness is Coming-Chapter 752 Ascend its position, bear its responsibility (two-in-one)
For fun? What a ridiculous reason, but it seems to be a matter of course for His Majesty to say it.
When all the officials of the empire gathered in the council hall to discuss state affairs, His Majesty was dignified and solemn. When the enemy or chaotic ministers and thieves appeared in front of His Majesty, His Majesty was terrifying. Sex, like a self-willed child, thinks that it will come out, and it will be fun.
Such a contradictory combination makes it impossible to see whether this is real or fake.
Thinking of this, His Majesty is really an elusive existence. Just like Lord Shengbai, he has the magical ability to make other kinsmen never guess their minds. Angel thought to herself that maybe she had to develop such an ability so that she would be able to control the courtiers in the future. Because a king who can't be seen through is a king who can make his subjects obey their duties.
This is the case with the emperors of ancient China. They rarely go out in the palace. They are not born otakus. Only by living in the palace can they reduce their meetings with courtiers and maintain their own sense of mystery. Otherwise, an emperor whose temperament is fully understood by his ministers will not be able to rule over hundreds of officials, because after the emperor has been seen through by hundreds of officials in the court, he can easily be played by the officials.
"Xiao An, do you think I'm weird? A casual and playful individual, even if his own strength is strong, how can he be an emperor? Why didn't he become a fool after ascending the throne?" Wen Yan suddenly stopped and smiled. looked at Angel and asked.
Angel immediately lowered her head and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I dare not."
"Oh, I just don't dare, so I still have this idea?"
Angel neither nodded nor shook his head, it was a default.
Followed the attendant next to him and stepped forward to relieve the siege: "Your Majesty, the officials have gathered in the Hall of State Council, you..."
"Let them wait." Wen Yan glanced at him, without a trace of anger, but he was so frightened that the waiter's soul flew out of the sky.
Angel knew why all the officials in the court gathered in the Yizheng Hall, because the largest military conference since the founding of the country was about to be held there. It is reasonable to say that she should persuade His Majesty to focus on state affairs, but thinking that after this meeting, His Majesty is likely to go to the expedition in person. If she didn't return, Angel didn't speak.
"This kind of contradiction has always existed, but at the same time it is not irreconcilable. You can't understand it now, but you will understand it later." Wen Yan raised his head to look in the direction of Huaxia Shangjing, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said as he recalled, "A long time ago , Before you were born, um, I mean, before Angel, who was a saint, was born, Bai told me this truth, I didn't care at the time, but when I actually ascended the throne, I didn't know what to do. I know that what he said was not all nonsense."
"Your Majesty, I don't understand." Angel was even more puzzled.
"My ability to express is not as good as Bai's. If you just rely on me to say it, you will never understand. Change it." Wen Yan showed unprecedented patience, "Are you familiar with Yang Xiaoqian's life?"
"Very familiar." Angel nodded with certainty.
During the Far River War before Angel was born, Yang Xiaoqian and Liu Yuanzhou were regarded by the seniors of the saints as the great enemies of the saints, and Lord Shengbai even asserted that if human beings could defeat the saints or even destroy the saints in the future, then The person who did this must be one of the two.
Now it seems that Lord Shengbai's prediction is very accurate. Liu Yuanzhou has already defeated the saints. In the future, under the premise that the peace treaty has been signed and the core code of strong artificial intelligence is written, if the saints have a one-in-a-million chance Destroyed by humans, then this possible name must be called Yang Xiaoqian, not only because he has a combat power that surpasses other humans, but also because he has a firm determination that no one else can match.
Every saint clan believes that interests can impress most human beings, with the exception of the Yuanjiang people, and Yang Xiaoqian is a die-hard Yuanjiang faction. Even if the saint clan shows great interests, I am afraid that Yang Xiaoqian will not be shaken. ——Sir Shengbai has personally verified this.
Therefore, studying Yang Xiaoqian has become a compulsory course for every high-level empire. Although the Chinese authorities have deliberately blocked Yang Xiaoqian's life experience, with the memory of Lord Sheng Bai, the scholars of the Saint Clan can sort out a trace of Yang Xiaoqian's life, from elementary school to Junior high school, then high school, and finally descending to the dome, setting up the Far Rescue Association, ascending to a high position, holding the power, every stroke is very clear.
Angel, who regards Yang Xiaoqian as her daily homework, is not only familiar with Yang Xiaoqian's life, it should be said that she is recited and recited.
"How many times has Yang Xiaoqian changed significantly from a human high school student to the number one awakened person today?" Wen Yan asked.
Angel answered without hesitation: "Four times, the human body who killed Lord Shengbai with his own hands was the first time, the Ginza Building encounter was the second time, the international trade war against His Majesty was the third time, and the Xinyuanjiang decisive battle was the third time. The fourth time, since then, Yang Xiaoqian's changes have been minimal, or in other words, it has been temporarily fixed."
Wen Yan nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, um, so the four changes have nothing to do with Yang Xiaoqian's awakening, right?"
"Huh?" Angel had never thought about it like this, but after thinking about it, it seemed that it was.
This is really a strange thing. In the cognition of the saints, humans are most similar to the saints in two points: one, endless greed, and two, changes in mentality and perspective are often directly related to changes in power.
"If it wasn't for his ability to awaken that changed Yang Xiaoqian, then what made him change from a ghostly human teenager to a mature and prudent leader of the Awakened? Don't be in a hurry to answer this question. Before answering this question, think about other things. One question, in just over a year, will a human being whose physical age is less than 20 years old rapidly age psychologically and become middle-aged in his 40s and 50s?"
Angel was speechless. Human emotions were always more complicated than those of the saints. Although she tried her best to understand, even though she was also a high-level saint with rich emotions and a natural king, she could not find Yang Xiaoqian's unreasonable changes. Answer.
"If you can't answer it, then think about another question: what caused Yang Xiaoqian's change?" Wen Yan followed suit.
This question is not difficult, and the answer can be obtained by the method of elimination. Angel blinked and replied, "It's the position, not the position, but the position."
"Yes, it's the change of position that caused Yang Xiaoqian's change. He takes his place and takes responsibility. When an individual reaches a position where he can decide the life and death of others of the same kind, he will spontaneously take responsibility for this position. Maybe Yang Xiaoqian's heart is deep in his heart. Still the kid who didn't grow up, but the naive kid couldn't be in this position, so he changed."
Angel suddenly said: "So you have also changed, so I will change in the future, not necessarily a real change, but an inevitable change, the difference is only to become a qualified emperor, or an incompetent dizzy monarch, right, Your Majesty ?"
Maybe it was because Angel didn't answer all the questions, or because Angel would find out the answer sooner or later, Wen Yan didn't answer her question, patted her little head and turned to go to the council hall.
While walking on the road, Wen Yan muttered in a very low volume.
"Speaking of which, Yang Xiaoqian should have arrived in Mongolia a long time ago. He didn't dare to come to me for such a long time, what a coward."
………………
In the Hall of Government Affairs, the hundred officials of the empire are divided according to their status, and they each occupy their own positions and have their own thoughts.
Wen Yan and Angel walked straight to the dragon chair facing the gate after entering the council hall. More than a hundred high-level saints and dozens of humans bowed together and bowed their knees.
Immediately afterwards, the group of cardinals composed of twelve cardinals lined up in a long line and walked into the Council Hall. They stood in the area dedicated to the Holy Religion and bowed their heads to the dragon chair. Then they sat down on their seats. , apart from the Son and the Son of God, only they can have a seat.
"The war in the north, let's talk." Wen Yan pointed to Ronaldo and went straight to the topic.
Angel glanced at Wen Yan in surprise. Today, she even put aside the nasty taste of "everyone's love is flat", which shows how tense the war on the northern front is.
Ronaldo followed Lord Shengbai during the Far River Period, and there was only one Kaka left among the saints of the same period. Kaka believes in the Lord of Evolution and is the head of the twelve bishops of the Cardinal Corps, while Ronaldo is now an official, with a dragon and tiger seal in his palm, and assumes the responsibilities of a senior military commander or even the highest military commander in large-scale battles.
Ronaldo rushed back to the Council Hall from the army camp of the Empire's frontier army not long ago, and brought back bad news that was enough to shake the court and the opposition: 300 kilometers south of the Empire, a huge tide of magic came straight to the Empire.
This is what will happen sooner or later. Although the empire is located in a desert, the barren population and animal population of Mongolia cannot satisfy the appetite of the monsters. In addition, after the Mongolian politicians fled to China and the Russian Federation to seek asylum , A large number of Mongolian refugees who have lost the protection of the official government and are unable to cross the border can only flee to the Shengyuan Empire in groups.
The fragrant meat is running here, why doesn't the magic tide come here?
There have been several local battles of different scales before, all of which were caused by monsters tracking fleeing Mongolian refugees, all the way to the border of the empire.
After several battles, the upper management of the empire realized that the intensity of this magic tide is far greater than that of the last time in Los Angeles, and that these damned magic tide monsters are not only amazing in strength and appetite, but also very smart. Some monsters driven by powerful monsters will even deliberately drive away Mongolian refugees, let them replace themselves as cannon fodder to test the new world, and let them find their own kind and shelter in the process of escaping.
This is basically just laying a long line and catching a big fish, but those magic tide monsters did not expect that they would catch a shark and swallow them easily.
However, the situation is different this time. According to Ronaldo, the southern magic tide is so powerful that in the absence of heavy fire support, the Imperial Frontier Army cannot stop them at all.
If it has the military strength of China or the Russian Federation, the empire can directly launch missiles after discovering the magic tide, and wash the ground with artillery fire across hundreds of kilometers. But the empire does not have those high-tech weapons and equipment, and the only few long-range cannons are biological cannons transformed from high-level saints.
For human beings, money can buy everything, but this is not the case for the Holy Race. You must know that the world's largest arms dealer is the five permanent members of the United Nations and the first-class powers with developed military industries.
Superpowers like China, the United States, and the Russian Federation, none of them are fools who are interested in their own interests, and they will not be easily moved by the chips of the saints. How can they sell the weapon of the country to the empire?
Perhaps the previous U.S. federation may have been fascinated by interests, but after the signing of the peace treaty, the supporters of the Holy Race within the United States Federation have followed the Holy Race to the Gobi Desert and become a member of the empire. The beautiful vision of cleaning and infiltrating the American Federation has become a fantasy.
Therefore, the only choice left is the independent international arms dealers. However, the international arms market has undergone a series of major changes a few months ago. The independent arms predators who are active in the first line and have just retreated to the second line seem to have become the subordinates of a mysterious organization. Lines are extremely strictly controlled, and they refuse to trade with the empire and sell high-end weapons.
Therefore, the imperial army can only be equipped with tatters that are decades behind modern military technology, and most of the time it is all about fighting monsters with the flesh.
But now the empire has reached the point where the empire is powerless to defend against foreign enemies. A little carelessness is the extinction of the country and the species, because there is no retreat behind them - the armored armies of Huaxia and the Russian Federation are advancing from two directions, almost enclosing the Gobi Desert, and everyone It can be seen that they are not here to support, but to block the retreat of the saints.
After hearing about the despicable and dirty practices of China and the Russian Federation, there was a lot of indignation in the government hall.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Angel could see a little joy in the eyes of those high-ranking human officials.
These people have been abandoned by their peers all over the world, and any human who is not within the empire will spurn them, plus the temple will ensure that they maintain their loyal beliefs, not spies sent by humans, so they can't be for the empire. joy in perishing.
After thinking carefully, Angel thought of the answer, these humans are not happy because the empire is about to perish, they are happy because His Majesty is about to go on an expedition.
The high level of the empire understands the meaning of human beings. It is nothing more than to let His Majesty, General Ronaldo, Archbishop Kaka and other saint clan elders take the initiative to die, in order to quell the hatred of some people, at the same time weaken the strength of the empire, so that the development of the saint clan is suppressed, Always under the control of human beings.
And the reason these people rejoice in their hearts is that they know that the imperial power is about to undergo a major reshuffle.
Your Majesty and the adults will never return, and the core of the empire's power will change hands. The more saints who die for the empire, the more opportunities they have.
Looking at these humans, Angel suddenly had a new feeling: vomiting.
These humans made her nauseous.
