"After this matter is over, I must go back and apply for retirement as soon as possible."

On a cold winter day, a man was muttering and wiping the sweat from his head.

"Nowadays, life is getting really difficult. Those people really can't give me any peace of mind."

——This chattering person is exactly one of the congressmen who came here with the people from Highgate to observe the situation.

Although the Ole Empire's attack on District 13 is inevitable, the people at the top still can't sleep because of this incident all day long, and hope that this incident will not happen.

Many of them were even worried about this matter to the point of restlessness, so they arranged a lot of people here, but it was not to stop the progress of the Ole Empire.

After all, no one can organize the Ole Empire.

perhaps……

In the end, they could only watch from multiple angles how the Ole Empire successfully invaded District 13.

However, even though they were just observing the situation, these people had actually already prepared the tools to escape.

They could turn around and escape to the huge airship at any time, and then leave quickly with a group of bodyguards.

"Really, let me tell you, the situation this year is getting worse and worse. Last time we even had to kowtow to those few junior officers from the Ole Empire."

The member of Parliament from Highgate murmured impatiently.

A few years ago, how could they have imagined that something like this would happen?

At that time, even some unknown messengers from small countries who came to visit them would be rejected by them, because they did not know how many such people they would see every year.

Nowadays, even such people rarely come to Highgate Country because they are afraid that they will get into trouble.

The congressman sneered at the way those small countries looked like grass on the wall.

However, perhaps it was a little uncomfortable at first for the officials of the Highgate Kingdom to kowtow to the officials of the Ole Empire.

...But gradually, they discovered that they had become accustomed to this kind of thing.

Habits are often terrible things.

And it is always very easy to grovel.

In fact, as long as people put aside a series of useless things such as shame, they will find that living in this world is still very easy.

For these members of Highgate Country, they have long been accustomed to groveling.

——And if you do this for a long time, you will feel that kneeling is a very easy thing, right?

However, something unexpected happened recently.

This incident made the atmosphere in the entire Highgate Kingdom become weird, and it was no longer as peaceful as before.

The cause of this incident is simple to say, because more and more people are discovering that kneeling down does not seem to be able to relieve the stress they have been facing recently.

These ordinary officials of Highgate Kingdom have been under a lot of pressure recently.

Not only do they have to face the increasingly uncontrollable anger of the people below, but they also face scrutiny from the upper echelons of the Ole Empire and Highgate Kingdom.

Moreover, as the situation in the country has worsened recently, the internal fighting in Highgate Kingdom has become more and more intense.

Some officials disappeared silently during such battles, leaving not even a trace.

This makes most congressmen feel a little unhappy and slightly irritated.

After all, according to the past experience of these congressmen, as long as he kneels conscientiously, he will always get some benefits.

But recently, even if I grovel, troubles still keep coming up one after another.

One thing after another, just like a cockroach, people can't get rid of it.

The same is naturally true for the congressman who came to observe the enemy's situation.

But right now, although many people like this young congressman have noticed this matter, not many people have spoken out.

There are two reasons.

First, most of the people who noticed this were small members of Congress at the bottom.

Second... everyone subconsciously doesn't want to mention this matter.

——It’s like as long as you don’t mention it, then it’s not true.

No matter what other people do, the upper class still leads a life that is no different from before.

They still indulge in wine and music every day and have fun.

Anyone who sees days like this will be a little envious.

"They are all a group of guys who only care about their own enjoyment and don't care about the life or death of others."

The congressman who was observing the enemy's situation murmured.

Now he can only vent his anger on those senior officials, with uncontrollable jealousy on his face.

"They took all the money away and used it for fun. Why didn't they give some to us?"

"Let me freeze here in the middle of winter, but only give me that little money. This is really a good deal that guarantees a profit without losing any money."

He saw with his own eyes that the senior officials were having fun every day, and they completely ignored the junior members of Congress, and even deliberately defaulted on their salaries.

"If one day I can climb up, then I must be like the people above."

the young congressman muttered.

This may also be the hope in the heart of every person in Highgate.

——By groveling, climbing on everyone's head, and then paying back double what you have received before.

"Let's look at what we need to be busy with now." The young congressman counted one by one. "Wiping the butts of those above us and observing what those people from the Ole Empire want to do at any time."

"Of course the most important thing is to always pay attention to what the poor people in the slums are doing..."

While muttering, he adjusted his radar and telescope, trying to see where the group of people from the Ole Empire would appear.

However, just when he picked up the telescope, a group of strange people suddenly appeared in his sight.

Those people were so weird that they even stopped him from speaking.

"Wait, wait a minute..."

The young congressman opened his eyes wide.

"Those guys..."

"Aren't those guys the poor guys from the slums?"

"Why are they here? How did they get here?"

This sudden scene scared the congressman so much that his eyes widened.

In the sight of the congressman, he suddenly saw several rather simple-looking people walking out from a corner.

The tanned skin and rough hands of these people prove that they are not church workers.

Moreover, the way they looked back and forth after entering this church, as well as their unscrupulous chatter and laughter also proved that they were not believers of God at all.

What are these poor people doing in this church? How did they get here?

The congressman's eyes widened in shock.

Then, he turned around and found that these poor people took out some... strange things from behind him.

Those things look shabby, and if you look at them so simply, you can't understand what they are made of.

but……

The congressman carefully distinguished them for a long time.

That seems... to be a weapon made up of various broken parts?

"Those poor devils." The congressman straightened up involuntarily, "What are they doing here? Is this a place where poor devils like them can enter?"

And how could these poor people show up there so arrogantly? Aren't they afraid of being discovered by the guys from the Ole Empire?

However, before the congressman finished speaking, he suddenly heard a loud bang.

This rumbling sound attracted everyone's attention.

And among these people, this congressman is naturally included.

He quickly looked over there and saw

A dark shadow in the distance.

Many believers who were still staying in the square looked over there in unison. From their perspective, they could only see groups of dark things.

The outlines of these things are so large and scary that they seem to completely overlap with the devils in the legend.

In the distance, there was a rumbling sound.

These sounds are caused by the rotation of engines and machinery.

To the ears of the congressman, these sounds could easily be identified. However, to the ears of the group of believers below, these sounds were signs of the coming of the devil.

The congressmen and others who knew what this thing was involuntarily took a step back. However, when the believers saw those shadows, their eyes lit up and they rushed towards them even more recklessly.
