Chapter 204 Situation
471
Edward held a pencil and wrote casually in the blank space of the newspaper.
"Governor No. 1", "Governor No. 2". "Local General", "General Loen".
Then, He drew two arrows facing each other between the two generals, symbolizing the discord between the conservatives and the militants.
He stared at these four nouns for a few seconds, smiled, and put a cross on "Governor One" with the pencil that was everywhere in his hand.
"Anyway, except for the new governor, no one else needs to be alive, right?"
Edward also crossed out the two generals. If he didn't want to quietly promote this mutiny, he only needed to know their names, find one or two people who had relatively stable connections with them, and just make a phone call. All three of them can die.
He put the pencil aside, and the faint blue flame burned along the handwriting, turning the newspaper into ashes in the blink of an eye.
"It's time to go on a business trip."
Edward stood up and went downstairs. The hostess was not there, maybe she had gone out, and the child was not in the hall. There was still noisy noise outside, which seemed to never stop. He put a check on the counter, pressed it under an ink bottle, and then quietly The ground left.
Pushing open the door of the hotel, the surrounding colors became rich. When it returned to normal, he had reached a low mountain more than a hundred kilometers away. This mountain is located on the outskirts of Aldera and is in an undeveloped state. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can just overlook the city in the distance.
Edward looked around at the top of the mountain, and soon noticed a black cloud in the distant sky. It was pure black, bloody, and condensed with resentment, just like when he was in Tingen or in Kaping. The ones above the mansion.
The difference is that the cloud in front of me is larger than Kaping in terms of scale, but the color is not as deep as there.
"Did you just finish the banquet? It seems that there are no survivors, so there is no need to go."
The Spiritual Religion Group's bid is not high, and the request is only once, so he will only take action once. Strive to get it done once and for all, and sit back and watch everyone die after the arrangement, so it is necessary to explore the situation in the city and find the best trigger point.
He glanced in the direction of the clouds and saw a small town.
Hundreds of corpses lay scattered all over the city, on the ground, in the streets, in corners, in cellars, and even on trees, pipes, and roofs... almost none of them was complete. This shows that this is a terrorist attack, rather than a planned centralized execution. The army will not be responsible for the attack, but it is also not in line with the style of the Spiritual Religion.
Edward took a cursory glance and saw that someone had tortured and killed many people in the city using extremely cruel methods, but probably not all. Most of the more than 700 corpses have a relatively typical appearance of the Northern Continent, such as whiter skin and lighter-colored pupils. Most of them are adults, with fewer children.
"Rose School..."
"The big sacrifice hasn't even started yet, and they've already fallen into the frenzied atmosphere of the sacrifice."
Edward saw more strange corpses lying in houses and bunkers.
"It's just killing, not recovering the spirit body. It seems that this wave is just stragglers and there are no resentful souls."
The devil shook his head and once again expressed his distaste for the indulgent faction.
The believers are crazy, numerous in number, and generally strong. Like a pile of scattered sand, the Zhengshen Church has never been able to deal an effective blow to them, and will also lose huge manpower.
However, the leader maintains his rationality and rarely takes action at will. He hides behind all kinds of crazy deeds, and it is difficult for the Zhengshen Church to find clues.
Over time, the Seven Gods no longer care about the lunatics of the Rose School. Anyway, the number of people that people can kill is always a small number. As long as the demigod angels of the Rose School don't do anything too outrageous, then let them be.
There was no one alive around, and wild dogs were already munching on scraps of meat.
The Rose School seems to be very happy fishing in troubled waters, killing people and setting fires everywhere. People from the Spiritual Religion Group will more or less mention one or two words about the Rose School every time they come to communicate. It seems that their unscrupulous style has also made people feel uncomfortable. The Spiritual Religion Group has a headache.
However, now Shia Eggers needs the Rose School to distract her attention. The more hatred the Rose School draws, the better. If the Northern Continent can attack the Rose School first, then the Spiritual Order will have more opportunities to do something secretly.
And revealing Sioa's possible location to Edward is another way of placing a bet.
He didn't bother with the tragedy scene. Anyway, people from the Zhengshen Church or the Spiritual Religion Group would take care of it later.
Edward began to move in the direction of Aldera. There were many traces of battles on the road along the way, bullet casings, blood stains, scorch marks from burning, and scratches from the moving of barricades on the road.
The underground was very quiet, and the temporarily buried corpses lay quietly inside.
When facing the Spiritual Religion Group, no matter how critical it is, the body must be put to rest first before being buried.
Judging from these traces, the Spiritual Religion Group's offensive was very fierce, forcing Lun's garrison into the city defense along the way. After all, at that time, the Pale Queen was personally on the march, and the Restoration Congress directly invaded the city and occupied the outer city area as a stronghold to blackmail Loen into replacing the governor.
The situation in the Southern Continent is getting more and more chaotic, and all parties' eyes are fixed on this.
If Shia Eggers can actually achieve a stage victory in Aldera, speculators in other cities will take notice.
In the event of colonial riots, the countries in the Northern Continent will also formally intervene, and the Southern Continent will be completely in chaos.
"Then give him a hand."
He walked toward the distant city, and his figure gradually faded and disappeared into the air. When he appeared again, he had arrived at an uninhabited house. Looking out the window, he saw Loen soldiers patrolling back and forth behind the roadblock. .
To the east, Roen's soldiers were patrolling, and to the west, skeletons were hidden in the pale clouds.
The city has been sealed off for a long time and has entered a wartime state. It has also been reinforced by the judge's laws. It is impossible to enter through any door.
Edward's eyes swept across the army in the distance, passed through the streets and houses in front, and fell on a person in the Governor's Palace.
The spiritual brilliance on his body is a deep blue, surging like the sea, sometimes rough and sometimes calm. This is a demigod of the "storm" path. Although Edward has never seen this face, there is no doubt that although many nobles in Loen's upper class believe in Storm, if he wants to join the core of power, the noble general named Negan will definitely not be the demigod of Storm. This will Suspected of favoring the church.
In other words, this person is the general of the Southern Continent.
He is almost identical to the Loen people, and many generations of mixed blood have almost eliminated his Southern Continent characteristics.
His nationality is also Loen, but even so, he is still not treated equally by the Loen people.
Edward glanced around the Governor's Palace, feeling nothing about the people he saw. Soon, he discovered that a demigod with the path of "Judge" was walking in the garden. His spiritual glory was majestic, upright, and brass-colored.
That's him.
"Sin is about to become the dominant theme in this city."
The devil casually decided the fate of hundreds of thousands of people in the city:
"The filth will flow over the land and take away all lives."
…
In the heavily guarded Governor's Mansion, Javier Reiner, who had another quarrel with General Negan, was drinking in his residence depressedly. Balam's characteristic exquisite wine glass was thrown aside. He took Roen's small wine glass and drank one glass after another. Drink it one glass at a time.
His adjutant had an angry look on his face. When Javier drank the eighth pot, he finally couldn't help but persuade him:
"General, you can't drink any more."
"You drank a lot privately during the war. If General Negan finds out, he will attack you again!"
Javier's arm for pouring wine stopped in the air, his eyes were bloodshot, his chest heaved violently, and he kept having the idea of smashing everything visible in the room. But his restraint and etiquette stopped him, and he crushed the glass and threw the pieces heavily to the ground.
The adjutant winked, and the surrounding servants quickly knelt down and began to collect the fragments. After cleaning up, they took out the wine flask and secretly disposed of it with the others.
Javier asked with a gloomy face: "Does the new Governor have anything to say?"
The adjutant shook his head: "The Governor didn't say anything after hearing the report about the altercation between you and General Negan."
"...What did Mr. Thomas say?"
"Mr. Thomas just wants to complete the handover of the governor's job within this week, then step down and return to Loen."
Javier exhaled heavily, his expression changed again and again, and finally calmed down.
"We have been suppressed and beaten by the Spiritual Religion Group for several months, and we have lost so many people. Now we finally have a turn for the better, and we are actually going to negotiate peace like this."
"Even the nephew of Duke Negan is bent on making peace. I have nothing to say."
The adjutant was silent.
After a long time, the adjutant said:
"Ruen's country attaches great importance to this negotiation and believes that if it is not handled well, it will easily lead to war or even catastrophic events."
"so?"
"...it seems like another general will be here to make sure the negotiations go smoothly."
"Is there another one?" Javier's expression changed quickly, "With General Negan?"
The adjutant nodded with difficulty.
"who is he?"
"Emilius Levitt, Admiral Levitt, son of the noble count, whose family governs Oravi on the sea, is the governor there. Come here for two or three days, I hope you can handle it when he comes Negotiation matters.”
"He doesn't know anything about the situation in the Southern Continent. Why is he being transferred there? To doubt me?"
Javier—Lieutenant General—smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"They are all from the Northern Continent, and their understanding of the Spiritual Religion is probably only through intelligence and small-scale battles. This time, not only the Restoration Council, but also the 'Pale Queen' came, there is no way they could simply leave like that. !”
"Why can't they see that this is a crisis? The Spiritual Religion is a group of lunatics who are not afraid of death and will not shed tears when they see the coffin. Peace talks are impossible now. Even if they want to talk, they have to wait until the Spiritual Religion in the city Just clear it out!"
"General Negan doesn't even listen to the Governor!"
After saying this, thinking of the arrogant and contemptuous look of the young man from the Northern Continent, he and his adjutant fell silent together.
In silence, the sky gradually darkened.
After a long time, Javier suddenly spoke slowly and slowly:
"Perhaps there is one last way."
"Convince Admiral Levitt to side with us."
The adjutant sighed: "General, the possibility of this is very low. Admiral Levitt is only here briefly and will not seriously examine the situation."
"Then I can only watch my people lose in vain, and the Restoration Council will pretend to negotiate, and the result will be further?"
Javier's face was gloomy, and the anger and unwillingness he had been accumulating erupted in this desperate environment: "I can't allow this to happen, I have to find a way!"
"Just wait until General Levitt leaves, and then find a way to temporarily restrain General Negan... I will bear the consequences of disobeying orders."

After successfully dealing with Admiral Amyrius's mistress, the beautiful Miss Cynthia, Klein immediately sat in the study and pretended to be concentrating on his work.
According to the information given by the adventurer who entrusted him with help and the impression given by Amyrius himself to Klein, there is no doubt that the other party is a serious person, and it is completely normal to spend more time on official duties.
He looked through the documents and information, pretending to be very professional, but in fact, he had almost no understanding of the relevant data and design concepts of ironclads, sailing battleships and other ships, and he was almost illiterate.
From the corner of his eye, he saw Cynthia leaving silently and closing the door. Klein was completely relieved, knowing that the night was over.
In the master bedroom, Cynthia pursed her lips in disappointment and nervousness, took out the necklace from under the pillow, and held the black rhinoceros horn-like object only about the size of her knuckles tightly in her palm.
She stood there and prayed softly:
"Great Mother Tree of Desire, please make me more attractive, make Admiral Amyrius more obsessed with me, let him experience the ultimate happiness from me, and give me a child..."
…………
In the quiet study room, Klein looked through the documents placed in front of him. According to the requirements in the document, he picked out the simple parts. After a cursory glance, he signed the name of Admiral Amyrius Levitt one by one, and then Pick out the part that you don't understand, use the ability of the "faceless man" to imitate other people's notes, and write the words "do more research" on it, vaguely.
After finishing, Klein opened a pair of prosthetic eyes just like last night, preparing to sit up and sleep all night.
After an unknown amount of time, Klein suddenly woke up from his dream and realized that there was a force trying to pull him into deep sleep and invade him!
Klein immediately changed his appearance and became the demigod in his dream.
Immediately afterwards, his eyes were filled with blurry white air, forming an indistinct figure.
Klein narrowed his eyes slightly, penetrated the dream with his spirit, and made his real body move silently. Then he put his palm into his pocket and touched the "Ninth Law" charm.
At this time, the vague figure calmly said:
"Don't get involved in Auston's affairs."
"This is a warning."
