Under people's gaze, billowing smoke and dust rushed out from the cave door and ventilation ducts. From a distance, the entire mountain looked like an asthmatic monster. It breathed rapidly, coughed, and finally stained the green trees and
The blue sky... Some people may not agree that this scene is spectacular, but it is very appropriate to describe it as vast.
The evacuated people stood in the safe area, staring at this scene in stunned silence, feeling the continuous loud noises and vibrations with their bodies.
Standing at the front of the queue is Cohen. His newly-baked armor is very eye-catching in the sun, and there is not even a trace of dust on the surface. Although the expressions on the faces of the leaders behind him are different, regret and shock are the mainstream - Cave
It took a full hour for the library to collapse, which was worthy of its cost.
The cave library was originally built as the base of the Imperial Secret Workshop. Needless to say, it is huge in scale and has a very high initial security level. The foundations and so on are all based on the standards of a battle-level fortress. After being included in the royal family's "private" base, it was re-reinforced.
Once, let alone a dense magic defense array. In short, even the original builders would be scratching their heads to collapse such a place.
However, Cohen did it today, or this was just a side effect of building armor, but no matter what, he finally achieved his first prodigal feat after taking the throne - the cave that cost millions of gold coins was destroyed in two hours.
Water drifts.
Thanks to the garrison's preparation in advance and the evacuation of irrelevant personnel one step ahead, otherwise this reaction time would not be enough for everyone to escape, not to mention that the master had the leisure to rescue some of the information. As for those Cohen used the remaining
There are all kinds of rare materials, so I can only dig them out when I have free time.
But Cohen's next actions blocked some people's vision. He ordered the magicians in the garrison to activate the ultimate self-destruction magic. Melodious chants sounded, and the magic array etched on the mountain wall began to exert its power. After a "rumbling" sound,
Amidst the thunder and fire, powerful magic burned the ruins of the cave, complete with stones and mud, into a huge, ugly, and shocking red brick!
There were thousands of fires in the mountain, and smoke was like pillars in the sky. Some people watching were also very excited. For example, the notorious Blood Lord, not only smiled happily, but also licked his lips from time to time to settle accounts for Cohen, such as the cave construction fee.
Aqueduct maintenance fees, magician salaries, etc... You know, because of the shady nature of the Liaison Department, every operation costs a lot. In the past, it was Cohen who settled the accounts with him and warned him to do less.
To destroy, don't just dig up dams and build boats.
"Did you do it on purpose? I was just thinking about how to deal with this place afterwards. It would not be good for such a secret to be known to those people." Mafa stood next to Cohen and said with joy: "Now everything is fine.
Returning to the initial state, I don’t believe anyone can find anything useful from this hot land - but this scene is so big, hey, it cost about tens of millions!"
"Yesterday you broke three essence stones, and you were very excited when you got the weapon today." Cohen sneered and said to Mafa: "Imagine, you will be able to cut off a lot of standard swords in one go, right?"
"It's all necessary." Mafa defended: "When you get a new weapon, of course you have to test its function."
"There is no need for you to go to jail." Cohen did not intend to let him go: "The experiment should use iron blocks! Such extravagance and waste, lose money!"
"But you are also extravagant and wasteful, and you are much better than me!" Mafa pointed to the mountain that was still smoking in the distance, and his momentum was not weak at all: "Only your majesty can use this kind of brick-burning technique, and the shape
Still so ugly.”
"Even if I wasted today, it's all my money!" Cohen said sternly: "Why should I pay for you?"
"Actually, the shape of this mountain is very unique. Well, the more I look at it now, the more I feel that you have good taste, Your Majesty." It is true that Mafa is called the Blood Lord, but that is for other people. You know, he didn't know that since he was a child.
How much money is owed to Cohen! So when he talked about this, he could only change the topic: "I'm sure that this place will become a tourist attraction in the near future, and many people will come to worship!"
"Tourist resort? Are you going to develop it?" Cohen sighed: "Stop talking nonsense and pay for it!"
"Don't be like this, boss. I'm not Jack. He is the only one who knows how to save money." Mafa held Cohen's hand flatteringly and dragged him aside: "However, I can take the boss to see interesting things.
…”
"Really?" Cohen's eyes wandered for a moment, and then he said seriously: "The princess will kick you away!"
"Why did the princess kick me away?" Mafa thought for a moment, then became angry: "It's not that pink thing!"
"No?" Cohen looked slightly shocked: "Then I won't go..."
"Your Majesty, can you be more serious?" Mafa was furious. If there wasn't someone else around, he might have grabbed Cohen's neck and played with it: "It's a matter of the magic stick - you are autistic in the cave."
In January, his plan has been implemented to the final stage!"
"Yes, I forgot that there is a magic stick..." Cohen thought for a while: "Okay, since you sincerely invited me, then I will reluctantly take a look...Master!"
"Ah?" The master, who was squatting in the shade of a tree nearby and drinking, raised his head: "What do you want? I won't build another cave for you!"
"If you want to repair it, you have to have money." Cohen took out a piece of letterhead and threw it over: "Send the completed thing to them, and then show them the tricks of using it. This can also be regarded as letting you use your spare energy."
"This is after-sales service and is not commensurate with my position. I won't do it!"
"Try it." Someone looked at him coldly: "I have long wanted to know what would happen if the dwarves had no wine, no iron, no clothes, and ran around naked... I understand that you are not threatened, but I
I really want to see that scene...give me a chance?"
The master's expression changed. He glared at Cohen with gritted teeth. Then he jumped up and yelled at Cohen's back: "You are a piece of iron slag in the furnace! Gangue in the charcoal pile! The hole in the bellows! The hole in the forging hammer.
Burr...hateful! Damn it!"
Cohen waved without looking back and walked away from Mafa. The master could not continue to curse. If he raised the volume, others would surely hear it. Although it was Cohen who instigated it, in public,
It's not fun to scold the emperor. Besides, the master always felt that Cohen was a bit strange, but he didn't think too clearly for the moment.
"Master, please set off immediately. The armor and weapons have been packed and are waiting for you. Our time is very tight." Bai Ying walked to the master and handed several documents to him: "Please also inform relevant personnel of his status.
It has been restored.”
"I said what's going on! No wonder I'm not used to it. It turns out that this ruffian has recovered his true nature!" The master slapped his hand hard: "But the recovery was a bit too much. He didn't dare to talk to me like this before..."
"He was not the leader before." Bai Ying calmly reassured the master: "But it is always a good thing to get back to normal."
"You are right, he is our leader, it is better to be evil than gloomy." The master nodded: "Leave this matter to me."
The trade route closest to the cave library belongs to the imperial transportation network, which can lead to the main passage connecting the countries of the Divine Alliance to the Holy Capital of Sbia and wait for the city. Cohen and Marfa are heading to this line. Although the time is relatively short now
It was nervous, but it did not conflict with the purpose of the group's return to the city - it would take time to mobilize long-distance transportation for Cohen, and if there were other people traveling with them, it would not be easy for Bai Ying to do part-time transportation.
A few hours later, everyone was standing on the hilltop near the trade road. Marfa seemed very busy along the way, constantly signing orders or discussing things with the liaison officers who came over, but had no time to explain to Cohen.
Look, it wasn't until the guards settled Cohen on the top of the mountain that Mafa hurried over.
"I just received the notification that Shengun's headquarters is moving to the city." The Blood Lord drank water and handed the document to Cohen: "According to the changes in things, Shengun has adjusted the previous plan. In short,
This thing went quite smoothly.”
"What are we coming to see?" Cohen flipped through the things in his hands: "In order to implement the plan, you have suffered a lot of losses!"
"It's still within the acceptable range. Anyway, this kind of thing can only be done once. If the intelligence personnel doesn't use it anymore, it will be wasted." Mafa is now very open-minded: "What we are looking at is the magic stick's magic stroke - he
Call this thing leading.”
"Hmm!" Cohen looked at Marfa.
"Please look over there. The trade road has forks here. The two forks come from different areas and merge into the main road to the city." Mafa explained: "And on the two forks, there is now a person traveling on both sides.
His Majesty Cohen, behind these two Majesties are followed by his followers - thousands of followers!"
"Oh?" Cohen nodded: "Then what kind of disturbance will 'I' make here?"
"Forked roads, main roads, intersection, this is a very symbolic thing. According to Mr. Shengun's arrangement, His Majesty will perform a small trick here, but in the eyes of his followers, this is a no-brainer.
It's a miracle, and there are endless mysteries hidden in it." Mafa pointed her finger: "This is a way to push the plan to a climax, and it is also the effect we dream of."
Cohen raised his brows and said no more. At the end of his distant gaze, the crowds of people on the trade road were coming.
At the insistence of the magic stick Nizam, his battle plan was called "initial", as if to make the word battle worthy of its name. The implementation of this plan was not only intense and intense, but the whole process was full of darkness, killing and deception. From the beginning
It has only been implemented for a little over a month now, and the number of people killed in the line of duty has exceeded the 100 mark, with an average loss of five people every day.
This is the most disastrous operation in the history of Sbia Liaison Department!
This is the case for the Sibia Liaison Department, which is one to ten, let alone the losses of other forces. But to be fair, in Nizam's mind, the proportion of personnel losses is not the criterion for measuring success or failure. The only test criterion is the influence of the new faith.
——The real key is whether her influence can reach a level suitable for creation, and whether it can reach the point where ordinary people can make equal choices!
The difficulties and dangers involved are not comparable to those of a huge war. It seemed calm, but in fact it was scary at every step. With his perverted persistence, Nizam finally persevered and performed at a superb level, laying out the overall situation. Try to be as strict as possible. And in terms of detailed implementation, just like what Mafa said, his elites are all out, no matter the cost for the final battle!
In fact, not only the Liaison Department, but also all the departments involved have put in their best efforts without any reservations.
This is a strange and wonderful combination, with a commander with overflowing imagination and ambition, a steadfast executor, and a strong reserve of special manpower. It must be said that their results are remarkable, which makes those who hold the " Do you want to establish your faith even in this small amount of time?” made the judgment, and those who wanted to see Sibia’s joke burst into tears. Yes, the time left for Sibia was indeed very short, so Nizam used the phrase that is often used by people but is absolutely Not an aboveboard method - he wants to climb up by stepping on other people's heads.
First of all, in order for the plan to go smoothly, Nizam ordered the Liaison Department to clear the area. After the bloody light that swept the continent dissipated, all empires and forces found that they were unable to strictly control their internal affairs, and their internal response capabilities dropped to the lowest point in history. Not only were they unable to It prevents special events and cannot even effectively supervise civilians.
This is the minimum foundation needed for the plan. People can talk about topics they care about without being disturbed.
In the early stage of the negotiation, Cohen Keda incarnated hundreds of people, separately but at the same time visited famous celebrities in the divine and demonic realms. Regardless of whether the other party was prejudiced against Sibia and himself, he did not use strong methods. After all, Cohen is the emperor of a super empire. If he goes to visit him politely, no one can turn him away. Or maybe someone really did this, but failed.
Immediately afterwards, the details of this incident, including the conversation between the owner and the visitor, were quickly disseminated in reading halls across the continent. In today's general environment, the impression it created on people was generally benign.
"Cohen Keda is not satisfied with the status quo!" Everyone first learned of such a shocking fact, and then, with the negotiation process between Sibia and the superior clan, everyone realized that it turned out that "the superior clan wanted Sibia to establish a first "Three Faiths". It seems that this already existing fact does not require anyone to operate, but if the release time of these two truths is reversed, the shock will be greatly reduced, and shocking news is often the most widely spread. of.
Nizam's request for this is "I allow some people not to care about these things, but I will never allow anyone to want to know but can't!" However, this is also the case. The speed and scope of the spread of this series of news can itself be regarded as It is a miracle. Anyone who is not isolated from the world will know all the details of this incident.
Since then, more than 20 scholars and celebrities have written articles, commenting on the differences and advantages of the third faith and the existing faith, as well as the reasons why it took root in Sbia... Of course, the public cannot fully understand these things, because they are aimed at The target is political dignitaries and nobles from various countries. It follows a high-level line. It only has the function of promoting the will of ordinary people and is not attractive enough.
So, after expressing Cohen Kedar’s will to establish the third faith, what else does Nizam need to do?
"Position! Interpret!" Nizam spat in front of hundreds of military officers that day: "When it comes to a brand-new thing that is closely related to them, the people urgently need to understand the nature of this thing! What are its benefits? Is it harmful?
Whether it is for eating or for use... these are what we need to tell them as soon as possible!"
"Yes, sir!" the officers responded, "but we don't have time!"
"Let's take a shortcut." At that time, a certain unscrupulous justice hummed beside him: "Let's put aside morality and law for the time being..."
With the connivance of the chief justice and military judge, the positioning stage of the third faith has changed a bit. This is also the main aspect of the third faith being attacked by other faiths, because what they do is very irregular-in any case, the formal interpretation
None of them can meet the needs. If the people cannot understand it, there will be no choice and participation, so the Sibia people decided to use the "flag effect".
This is actually a traditional military method. Any army requires a strict formation, but in fact the battlefield is very chaotic. Regardless of offense or defense, it usually becomes a mess soon after the beginning. The only thing for people to identify is the flag. The soldiers
Try to crowd around the flag and follow the advance and retreat. If the flag falls, it will collapse... so attacking the flag is the most effective and direct method!
So put it in front of you, what is the flag of the people? Yes... it is the famous nobles and celebrities and the priests of the two temples!
"Approved! Approved! As long as it is necessary, coercion, inducement, or kidnapping will do. You go ahead and do it. If anything happens, I will take responsibility for it!" Nizam stamped a big seal on the special tactics application without blinking an eyelid, while the officer
No one had any doubt about this. Only the chief judge looked at Nizam's back and shook his head, wondering where this big black pot should be hung securely.
As a result, the Liaison Department worked hard for several years to instigate a high priest of the Demon Temple, and kidnapped two other high priests. They issued a statement through the reading hall, announcing their withdrawal from the Dark Demon Temple, and wrote to the senior officials of Sbia, hoping to join the soon-to-be-established organization.
The third faith! Because they "study the thoughts of future faith by reading the letters of the saint Cohen Keda, and found that this is a faith based on the concepts of compassion, calmness, and peace, and its purpose is...more in line with today's world,
More suitable for today’s human beings…”.
Two days later, a cardinal priest also announced his withdrawal from the Temple of Light in a high-profile manner and submitted a letter to the senior officials of Sbia, hoping to serve in the third faith. Because "I spent the first half of my life fulfilling my duties in the Temple of Light, but I could not stop the spread of divine attributes."
The alliance is experiencing internal wars, the empire is dividing and reuniting, and the people are miserable. The doubts and anxiety in my heart are increasing day by day. I heard that the third faith is about to be established, and will be born in a brand new alliance. I hope to be a guiding stone to the third faith.
Use personal experiences to communicate...".
The shameless Nizam replied through the reading hall in the name of Rong Guang, the chief priest of the third faith: "I can't help but be overjoyed after hearing the news. I will open my arms to embrace all brothers. May we, under the common belief and concept, recall the sacred
Time, to find the path of mankind. I swear to the highest in my heart that everything I have will be shared with you, and everything I have will be shared with the human beings on the mainland... If believers are not full for a day, we will not be full; believers will not be full for a day.
Even if we are not fully clothed, we are also not fully clothed; believers are caught in the flames of war, and our cheeks are stained with blood..."
In less than ten days, a total of four high priests of the Demon Temple, one cardinal priest of the temple, and two high priests announced that they would join the third faith, making this yet-to-be-established third faith now have seven high-ranking priests...
...No, it should be eight, because Nizan was also considered the high priest of the temple before. Although the number of eight high priests is not up to the level of the two temples of gods and demons, in terms of the territory of Sbia, it is
It's completely enough.
This was followed by the defection of a large number of celebrities and scholars, especially those visited by Cohen's clone. More than half of them announced that they would join the Sbia Alliance. This can be divided into three parts, one of which is itself an internal agent of Sbia;
The second is those who are attracted by the various sights in Sibia; the third is those who are deceived and kidnapped...most of these people will enter the third faith and hold actual positions.
Eight high priests and a large number of celebrities defected to Sbia. It can be said that the impact caused by this scene was not only great, but even a bit terrifying! Imagine that on the chaotic battlefield, eight high-level military flags and a large number of mid-level officers defected to the enemy, and
They turned against each other, shouting while fighting: "Brothers, here we have good food, good clothing, life is guaranteed, six days of paid leave per month, and a marriage agency! By the way, we can achieve it here.
The value of life... By the way, we also represent justice and love..."
If it were you, what would you think? Do you also have the idea of changing your boss?
"Even if they have an idea, it is just an idea! They will definitely worry about what others think and whether they will be attacked! I understand the psychology of ordinary people very well. They will not take the lead easily. What they are best at is following the crowd.
!” At the military meeting, Nizam’s exact words were as follows: “So, if we want to successfully create an impact, we must send people to pick them up.”
"Send someone to pick him up?" Around the conference table, the officers looked sideways: "Who is going?"
"Of course it is the highest in our hearts." Nizam made an elegant gesture and paused: "Cohen Kedar."
Suddenly, dozens of pairs of eyes widened.
So, on the day when the negotiations ended, Cohen Kedar visited in person for the last time, but this time, he did not disappear suddenly, but embarked on the business road step by step - the result was that nearly a hundred Cohen Kedar visited at the same time
Traveling along the various trade routes on the mainland, they took steady steps towards Sbia and the city.
He seems to want to walk back to Sibia step by step!
Soon, the news spread through the reading hall!
Soon, a large crowd of people gathered behind each Cohen Keda! (To be continued)
