Chapter 26: Doesn’t it have anything to do with gods?
Assyrian Holy War.
Ian, the leader of the rebel army who claims to have been guided by fairies, is determined to fight for justice and justice in the world. This is the creation of the Goddess of Creation and the paradise of Assyria, which have reappeared on the stage of history after disappearing for many years.
A challenge launched by the decadent empire. They started from the bottom up
, growing rapidly like wildfire, this momentum even spread to the province of Atoriga where the uprising took place, spread to the entire empire, and even alarmed the entire East Emperor Fante Continent, causing those who were visible, secret, and on the sidelines to watch.
, all the malicious eyes were focused on this ancient land.
It is said that among the rebels at that time there was the most powerful supernatural being, who was in charge of the holy relics passed down by the saints. Although he was not a god, he dared to confront the true god with a spear; it was said that the goblin clan, who never liked fighting, also joined
In this war, their fairy magic helped the rebel soldiers to be invincible and invincible; it is said that several races that have good relations with Assyria in the paradise land have also become believers in the goddess of creation, and have come to the Uprising.
The rebels extended a helping hand, with weapons from dwarves and silver elves, siege equipment from giants, and even the feuding vampires and werewolves put aside their prejudices and fight side by side. Some even claimed to have witnessed the ancient and mysterious Titan beast in the rebel positions.
The scene of the horn blowing in the movie is the race with the longest inheritance on the Mirror Star except for the goblin race. It is said that it has a close connection with the extraterrestrial disaster beasts in the distant universe...
This is a war that takes advantage of time, location and people.
Natural disasters occur frequently in the empire, including floods, droughts, earthquakes and even volcanic eruptions. It seems that the countless disasters accumulated over the past century have finally reached the point of eruption. High-frequency natural disasters have displaced people, and the royal family and nobles have
but remained indifferent, even for various absurd reasons
The increase in taxes finally aroused public outrage. In fact, long before the outbreak of the Assyrian Holy War, countless uprisings, large and small, had broken out in other provinces of the empire. Although they were eventually suppressed, they also greatly dispersed the imperial army.
The strength of the Assyrian rebel army allowed the Assyrian rebel army to survive the most difficult period in the early stage.
Geographically, the province of Artoliga was originally located in the most remote territory of the empire and had never been taken seriously. The royal court even wanted to give up this land because it invested a lot of military expenditures every year to suppress these border barbarians.
.Although it was not implemented in the end, the news spread
The news has already alienated both sides. The independence sentiment of the Atolicans is rising, and several resistance movements break out every year. This limits the empire's effective control scope to only a few hub cities, and its control over the civilian population is basically
Zero provides the soil for the rebel army to grow.
The last thing that has to be mentioned is Renhe. As mentioned before, the composition of the rebel army is quite complex. There are local poor people who do not want to be oppressed by the empire, and citizens who are coerced by the wave of independence; both the goddess of creation and the creation of the world.
Mainly believers of Christianity, with many believers of other religions mixed in;
There are friendly races such as elves and giant beasts that have a long history and are allies with each other, but there are also hostile races such as werewolves and vampires whose hatred can be traced back to the source of blood... But this complex rebel army can finally cooperate sincerely and unite.
Unanimous, all because of one person's call.
"That's the leader of the rebel army, Ian."
When Carson Berg said this, he didn't know what interesting things he remembered, and a smile appeared on his face: "Someone once described his character and temperament to me, praising him as a natural leader, a great
warrior. But to be honest, it has always been difficult for me to imagine what kind of person can make such a class
, people with different beliefs and races all trust him, admire him, and are willing to follow him on such a road with no retreat. Ah, this is a matter of course. After all, I am not an empire member or a rebel.
If you are not even a member of that era, how can you understand the feelings of people at that time?"
"But now I suddenly understand." He took a deep look at Ringer: "After all, there is a person similar to him standing in front of me."
"You praise me too much." Ringer shook his head and did not admit that he had such charisma: "I do not have the ability to lead an insurrectionary army, nor can I convince others with my ideals and beliefs."
In fact, he was already very tired from leading this group of troubled girls on Yunjing Kong Island. Such a large rebel army with such complex composition made the young man feel that it might be beyond his capabilities.
"You are too modest, Mr. Ringer."
Carson Berg smiled slightly: "Haven't you already convinced Mitch and Kadora? Although they are just children, they are also real warriors."
Hearing this, the young man was silent for a moment. When he spoke again, he changed the subject: "So, what was the final result of this uprising?"
In fact, when he asked this, he knew very well that he probably failed, or failed to achieve his original goal. After all, the Third United Empire of Yalas is still a behemoth in the Eastern Continent to this day, and it is also the core of the Holy Alliance. As for
The so-called Assyrian Rebel Army, at least, in all the historical documents about the Eastern Continent that Ringer read when he was still in college, there was no mention of the deeds of this team, as if it had never existed.
But more important than the result is the process: What impact did it have? Why did it fail? What legacy was left? Young people instinctively associate with this factor, just like the man with a gray beard many years ago.
The truth that the history teacher told in class is still flowing in his memory: history itself is a discontinuous process, because people want to know too much, but what they can know is often too little. Sometimes you see
When you get the result, you can't reverse the process; sometimes you see the process, but you can't get the same result.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When he was still a student, he often lamented the various twists and turns hidden in the fog of history, as well as the mysteries that are difficult for mortals to understand, it is simply like... destiny
Same.
So, why did fate fail this uprising with ideals and beliefs? Is it destiny or accidental?
"It's a choice."
Carson Berg glanced at Ringer and said meaningfully: "Ian had a chance to succeed, but he chose to fail."
You had a chance to succeed, but chose to fail?
"It's a very interesting statement." Ringer commented: "It sounds like another story about adhering to ideals, refusing to compromise with reality, and ultimately ending sadly."
"How can you be sure?"
"Because the records in history books are most indispensable for this type of story."
Carson Berg took a deep look at the young man, as if to distinguish whether he was the person who he said "adhered to his ideals and ended up in despair", or the person who he showed to be "aloof from the matter and therefore can treat it rationally"
.However, this question is destined to not have an answer now. They can only discuss what has happened in the past, but cannot predict whether it will happen in the future.
"The answer lies in the mystery."
The Gray Hill Eagle explained in a calm tone: "If Ian's goal is only to resist the corrupt rule of the empire and establish a pure new order, then he is very likely to succeed. Because the empire at that time was already terminally ill and seemed to be about to wither.
The giant tree could not resist the ants chewing its roots. Assyrian Rebellion
Jun is the strongest one in the ant colony, but the torrent that emerges behind it is the real power that can topple this giant tree. However, who could have expected that this torrent of resistance would eventually flow into the darkness,
Only then did I realize that I was facing a forest? Just like the Evernight Woodland, a bottomless black forest."
He raised his head and looked into the distance. Under the layers of dark canopy, there were countless rotting corpses, wandering souls with nowhere to return, and treacherous secrets.
Ringer got a clue from this passage: "You mean, there are external forces involved in this war?"
"You are wrong, Mr. Ringer." Carson Berg shook his head calmly: "That is not a force, a country or a religion, but a symbolic force, an irresistible force.
Storms come from the most deeply rooted things on this continent."
He turned back and said to the young man: "At the most critical moment, the Yalas Empire received support from almost all religious forces in the Eastern Continent, including the Spiritual Prayer Society. They stood on the same front as the imperial army, strong and ruthless
to suppress all people who resist, regardless of whether they have reasonable demands or what they want.
Among the doctrines they believe in, is there an article of pity for the weak and guidance of believers? Their attitude is so determined, almost cruel, that there is no room for change, and they can only put forward a condition to the leader of the rebel army, Ian. If it is you
If so, Mr. Ringer, if it were you, you should know what those conditions are, right?"
Ringo does know.
There is no need to even think about it, the answer is just in front of him, waiting for him to say it: "... abandon your own beliefs, cut ties with the Goddess of Creation Cult, or even help them eradicate the remnants of the Goddess of Creation Cult?"
"Exactly."
A sarcastic smile appeared on Carson Berg's face, but the smile quickly disappeared, and his expression became dull again: "One thing I don't want to admit but have to admit is,
Faith is so barbaric on this land, or in other words, when it becomes a tool for the strong to rule the weak, it is destined to grow in the direction of barbarism. Barbarism is not terrible, human beings also drink blood from the hair of their ancestors.
Times have passed, but when barbarism forms an order that anyone wants to guide it in the direction of gentleness and goodwill, such people will immediately become the target of public criticism. They are those gods who use this set of tools to rule mortals.
A thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh that can be quickly removed, even more hateful than heretics and heretics. Unfortunately, the Creation Goddess Cult is in this position."
The Gray Hill Eagle said calmly: "Their teachings are so great that they make people feel ashamed and would not hesitate to destroy them."
To explain it from an easy-to-understand perspective, the Creation Goddess Religion believes in the original gods, while other religions believe in later gods.
The original gods created all things and shaped life with emotions and rationality, but later gods did not need their emotions and rationality, only their fanatical pursuit and blind praise; the original gods loved the world, so the world should also cherish themselves,
But later gods did not need believers to cherish themselves. Everyone only loved themselves. To them, it was small love and selfish love. Only believers would love themselves.
Dedicating yourself to the gods, and the gods coming back to love the world, is great love and selfless love; the original gods believed that life is colorful and encouraged every soul to grow into what they expected, but later gods hoped that the souls of believers
It should be manufactured on the assembly line of a steam factory. It only needs to be infused with factors such as piety, fanaticism, following, and sacrifice, and it will be a perfect template.
If the original gods were light, love and hope, and the symbol of all good things, then the later gods were poisonous snakes, rotten moss, and mosquitoes that multiplied freely on a pool of stagnant water. They allowed thorns to grow and poisons to spread.
The fog filled the air, staining every inch of the land with the blood and suffering of believers. But mortals had no choice. For thousands of years, they
They have long been accustomed to a world ruled by gods, and have long been accustomed to finding their place in this set of tools. They say that there are thorns on the road, there is fog in front of you, and there are the bones and wandering souls of the dead under your feet.
Lament, these are God's tests and the road of pilgrimage. Without going through hardships and dangers, how can we sharpen the heart of a saint?
Until a certain moment, a person who claimed to be a follower of the goddess told them that you must not listen to the lies of those false gods, which are just deception and deception. If it is a test, why take away your shoes and force you to walk barefoot on thorns?
?If it is a test, why take away your eyes and make you walk blindly in the fog? Of course you will bleed if you step on thorns with bare feet, and you will get lost if you walk blindly in the fog. Everything is natural, but they say you are not pious enough, so
Hypocritical, so ironic.
All you need to do is love yourself.
If you still have the energy left, then love others.
Treat others with sincerity, do not criticize, do not speculate, do not lie, and do not deceive.
Share it with others when you are happy, and there will be someone to bear it with you when you are sad.
Do what you want to do immediately, and be honest about what you can't do.
Then, don't hurt others, let alone yourself.
As long as you do these things, you are already a true saint.
However, when people who heard these truths asked in shock, "These things sound easy, but they have nothing to do with gods, right?", the believers of the Goddess of Creation, the true believers of the goddess, and the famous but...
Ian, the leader of the rebel army who is approachable and approachable, will tell you with a smile——
"Yes, it doesn't matter."
When Lin Ge heard this, he sighed silently: "Belief has been a matter of one's own from the beginning."
