Outside Xel'Naga's laboratory, what Abathur just said still echoes in Xue Hua's mind.
The purpose of the last experiment it mentioned made Xue Hua feel a little shuddering.
Did that Xel'Naga actually start its layout so long ago?
It placed a bait-like laboratory under King's Harbor to lure intruders to become its "believers", and then used two experiments that could be called "miraculous" in this world to convince these believers.
Because of it, he finally voluntarily transformed his body into its backup container.
Such a plan is so insidious and vicious. If he succeeds, then this so-called "Evolutionary Church" will become another serious problem for mankind in the first world!
Although Xue Hua has now successfully found and destroyed the Xel'Naga laboratory, what worries him is who knows if this guy has set up similar places in other human kingdoms?
And since Number One escaped after all, that guy must have kept these three experiments firmly in his mind.
So he is like a deadly virus spore. Once he lands and successfully settles down again, the so-called "Evolutionary Church" will immediately revive and make a comeback.
What's more, Xue Hua was actually not able to wipe out the cult this time, and he couldn't even talk about serious damage.
According to the account of No. 2 captured previously, their churches have quietly taken root in many human cities, but the organizations in some cities are large in scale, while others are relatively small.
So the seeds had actually spread before Xue Hua discovered this place. Now it's up to him whether he can pull out these time bombs one by one before they explode.
...
After coming out of the cave, Xue Hua looked at the vast and boundless sea horizon in the distance, the leisurely blue sky and white clouds and the seabirds preying on small fish, and couldn't help but sigh deeply.
The scenery is so beautiful.
But who knows how many crises lurk beneath this beautiful scenery?
The invasion of hell demons has already made mankind miserable, and now there are so-called "evolvers" coming to join in the fun.
What is going on in this world?
Why do so many disasters just choose to break out here?
"Master, Dehaka has successfully evacuated from the human city. Do we need to remove all surveillance of this human city?"
Isa's inquiry in the main nest mind pulled Xue Hua out of his melancholy mood. He thought for a while and then shook his head.
"No, let our mimic hatchlings continue to stay in King's Harbor, let them dive deep, temporarily stop other probing activities, and wait for the next awakening of the insect swarm."
The reason why Xue Hua made such a decision is that there is also a Margery family in this city. Although after experiencing so many things, he is actually too lazy to care about the bad things in this human kingdom, but he can't stand the tree.
If he wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop, he won't go to the other party to cause trouble, but the other party may not let him go.
According to the information obtained by some mimic hatchlings from King's Harbor, a huge change may be brewing within this human kingdom.
The contemporary king of King's Port, Wood VI, has long been dissatisfied with the current situation in which the kingdom's military power is weak and the nobles have long been in peace and unwilling to make progress. In recent years, he has issued a series of decrees aimed at armaments reform.
This king is trying to put Kingsport back into the forefront of mankind's resistance to hell, instead of being able to shrink back to the so-called "safe" rear and engage in logistics like it is now.
In this regard, the Frank family, the largest professional and military aristocratic family in King's Harbor - the "Lion and Holy Sword" - is on the side of supporting the king. As an old and powerful professional family, the head of the Frank family obviously also understands that "lion and holy sword"
The principle of "be prepared for danger when you are safe".
However, the other two noble families in King's Harbor, Joshua "The Diamond Cane" and Margery the "Golden Face", were skeptical of the military reforms intended by Wood VI, although they also agreed to properly control the current situation in the city.
The children of the nobles implemented a certain degree of military education, but they believed that there was no need for King's Harbor to be involved in the forefront of the war between humans and hell.
These two aristocratic families are the old-school "Western aristocrats". The creed they believe in is "don't stand in front if you can stand behind, don't punch if you can help with money", so they think that at present
King's Port's support to the Second World Front is appropriate and there is no problem. The Kingdom does not need to make changes for this.
Moreover, the two noble families have also sent legendary strongmen to the second world to reinforce the front line. They can do this under the premise of continuous supply of materials. They believe that they have done their due to the human side.
There is no obligation, and I don’t want to do more.
The confrontation between these two concepts in King's Harbor is gradually becoming fierce, and as the Shining Aegis Legion returns defeated from the battlefield of recapturing Kurast Seaport, the contradiction between the two political systems is also rapidly intensifying.
On the day after Dehaka safely evacuated from the city, King Wood VI took advantage of the two consecutive explosions that occurred in the noble district in recent days at the court meeting to once again expand the number of Shining Aegis Legion in the name of maintaining the security of the kingdom.
establishment, and tried to further improve the entire city defense system in King's Harbor City with the help of the Frank family.
He hopes that the Shining Shield Legion and the City Defense Force will include the poor in the port area into the recruitment system, and seems to have the intention to restart the long-abandoned inauguration ceremony.
Prior to this, all qualified young people in King's Port who wanted to hold an inauguration ceremony could only go to the nearby Lugoin or Rogg Camp and Westmar, and usually only those with such financial and material support could do so.
Those noble sons in the city who are unwilling to apply for the inauguration ceremony.
This move of Wood VI immediately touched the core interests of a series of King's Harbor nobles, including the Margery family and the Joshua family. You must know that the reason why these families can maintain their prosperity in King's Harbor is that one of them
The important reason is that they control a series of promotion systems in the kingdom.
If the king reopens the inauguration ceremony now, it means that the "mud-legged people" in the port area who are regarded as untouchables by them have another promotion method that can bypass their control.
Considering the inherently lofty status of professionals in this world, once a large number of civilian professionals begin to appear in King's Harbor, the status of these noble families will suffer an unprecedented impact.
Therefore, as soon as Wood VI's military reform plan was proposed, it encountered fierce opposition from the nobles of all sizes in the kingdom.
In the face of strong opposition, the king had no choice but to make a compromise.
He completely revised the general reform plan, removing the plan for the Shining Aegis Legion to recruit personnel from the port area, and the proposal for the city defense army in the noble area to recruit personnel from the port civilians was also severely restricted.
At the same time, under the coercion of the huge aristocratic system, King Wood VI had to announce that he would indefinitely shelve the motion to reopen the inauguration ceremony, and made it clear that the new recruits recruited by the city defense army from the port area could only serve the kingdom with a certain degree of military merit.
After that, they will be sent to other human kingdoms to hold inauguration ceremonies in the name of the major nobles in the kingdom.
This political struggle finally ended with the victory of the old-school nobles headed by the Margery family and the Joshua family. However, as the ruler of King's Harbor, Wood VI once again deeply realized the long-standing malpractice in the country.
The aristocratic system restrained royal power.
The Margery family and the Joshua family forced him to give up his original unrealistic fantasy of "improving the country's armaments together with the kingdom's nobles", and laid the foundation for the violent coup in King's Port soon after.
