Chapter 184 What happened this year, he was actually behind the scenes?!
All in all, Azula's public opinion attack made the White Lotus an existence that everyone wanted to beat, and the entire organization fell apart.
As the elders of the White Lotus Sect, they were also targeted. Zhengzheng, who was originally one of the leaders of the resistance, was ostracized by the resistance. Cooper was also captured by the Arctic Water Tribe, but they all escaped except Bumi.
One person was arrested.
However, it is said that Bumi was imprisoned voluntarily and did not put up any resistance. This move did restore some reputation for the White Lotus after the Fire Nation captured Omashu City, but it was only a drop in the bucket.
In addition, not only did the White Lotus Sect suffer heavy losses in this incident, but the Earth Powerful Nation and the Arctic Water Tribe also fell into a vortex of suspicion, which also gave Azula an opportunity to order a large-scale invasion of the army.
"I have heard before that Azula is extremely intelligent and strategist. She is indeed well-deserved. Her ability is probably far better than that of her father, Aozai."
Bi Andao sighed.
"Anyway, she is a cunning and cunning little girl who is difficult to deal with."
Cooper shook his head, looked at Kahn and said unceremoniously:
"It's the same with you, but you made us miserable."
The newcomers Aang and others were a little confused by what Koopa said. Kahn knew what Koopa meant.
If he hadn't revealed too much information about the White Lotus to Azula, they wouldn't have ended up like this. He really couldn't refute this, even he thought so himself, so he could only smile bitterly.
At this moment, he remembered what Azula said to him in the palace hall that day -
'Do you think those people from the White Lotus Sect are really just here to help? Bumi, Kupa, Zhengzheng, do they really have no interests of their own? Do the White Lotus Sect really have no thoughts of their own?...
.'
He really hadn't thought about this.
His purpose is only to defeat Aozai, so the White Lotus Sect is a partner with the same interests for him, and because Ai Luo is the elder of the White Lotus Sect, he naturally has a good impression of the White Lotus Sect.
As for whether the White Lotus Sect has other purposes, to be honest, he doesn't really care.
But from the perspective of Azula, who wanted to step onto the throne and conquer the world, the existence of the White Lotus did more harm than good to her, so she would not hesitate to destroy the White Lotus after discovering that it was of no use.
But facing the current situation, how should he choose?
How will she choose?
"This cannot be entirely blamed on Kahn. Part of the reason is my error in judgment."
The meeting was still going on. After Aiello defended Kahn, he continued:
"Let's get back to the topic, let's talk about how Azula conquered the world."
"In addition to our defeat and the disunity within various countries mentioned just now, I think the more important point is that she made a very bold decision——
Recruit the earthbenders in the colonies into the army and allow people from the colonies to serve as generals."
Speaking of this, Ai Luo's tone could not help but reveal a hint of exclamation and emotion.
Colonies are also a special existence in the Fire Nation.
The laws of the Fire Nation clearly stipulate that the colonies are also the territory of the Fire Nation, and the colonists are also Fire Nation people, and there should be no difference in rights and obligations.
But that's just a rule.
In fact, from the native residents of the Fire Nation to the vast majority of noble officials, and even the Fire Lord himself, the attitude towards the colonies and colonial people is still contemptuous, and those earthbenders who were born in the colonies are even more discriminated against.
People who came from the colonies can only be cannon fodder at the lowest level in the army, with no possibility of promotion. Even firebenders can only serve as squad leaders, and they cannot become generals no matter how great their achievements are.
Earthbenders in the colonies were even prohibited from joining the army because many generals discriminatoryly believed that they might rebel at any time.
If Kahn knew what Iroh was thinking at this time, he would definitely agree with it. After all, even his friend Koli, as the daughter of the governor, had to hide her identity as an earthbender when she came to the Fire Nation capital to attend school.
In fact, Iroh himself had proposed to let the earthbenders in the colony join the army, because the ability of the earthbenders would undoubtedly play a huge role in attacking and defending the city.
If he had a team of earthbenders under his command when he attacked Eternal City, the world would have been controlled by the Fire Nation long ago, Azula would not have had anything to do with it, and his life trajectory would not have turned out like this.
But when he proposed this proposal, he encountered strong opposition from everyone, even his close associates did not agree.
In the end, he had no choice but to give up.
You know, his proposal was only to allow earthbenders to join the army, and he did not even think about letting people from the colonies serve as generals. However, it has already encountered such strong opposition. It is really hard for him to imagine how Azula managed to put this into practice.
The two laws were implemented.
He could only sigh, he was indeed far inferior to Azula in this regard.
Kahn also had a look of emotion after hearing this, because he also knew how much resistance Azula would face in implementing these two laws, but she still did it.
Another emotional part is that these two laws were actually introduced by Azula. After all, when it comes to discrimination, no one understands discrimination better than Azula.
She simply looks down on everyone but herself.
Oh, and we have to get rid of him.
But the next moment, Kahn's face suddenly froze, and he remembered something:
That was after Koli helped them find clues about Er Shu's whereabouts hidden in the secret passage of the palace. He remembered Azula saying something thoughtfully -
'I didn't expect earthbenders to be quite useful.'
Is it because of this incident that Azula took the existence of earthbenders to heart?
No, it can't be?
Kahn felt inexplicably guilty.
If this is really the case, wouldn't he become one of the promoters?
...Speaking of which, Azula's method of public opinion attack on the White Lotus seemed to have been mentioned by him when he was bragging to Azula.
No way?!
Kahn wanted to cry but had no tears.
He was just bragging, he didn't expect Azula to be serious!
Thinking of this, Kahn felt even more guilty. He originally thought that Azula had grown into the Great Demon King, but suddenly he discovered that he was the real mastermind behind the scenes?!
It's over, now it's behind the scenes.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Suddenly realizing something was wrong with Kahn's expression, Ai Luo expressed concern.
"nothing."
Kahn forced a smile and decided to bury this secret in his heart and pretend it didn't exist.
Ai Luo looked at him suspiciously and continued.
But after getting here, there is nothing more to talk about.
Regardless of how Azula successfully promoted the two decrees, after the earthbenders joined the army, the Fire Nation army became even more powerful and marched forward with great success, without any enemies at all.
Originally, Yonggu City could serve as the last line of defense for a powerful country, but what no one expected was that shortly after the White Lotus Sect incident broke out, civil strife broke out in Yonggu City.
Changfeng, the prime minister of Yonggu City, rebelled, led the Imperial Guard Dai Li to capture King Tuqiang, and took the initiative to dedicate Yonggu City to the Fire Nation.
In exchange, Changfeng became the city lord of Yonggu City under the rule of the Fire Nation.
And Azula easily conquered Eternal City without spending a single soldier, and successfully conquered the world.
Immediately afterwards, she began to search for Kahn around the world and attack the remaining forces of the White Lotus. They had no choice but to retreat and finally hid here.
