Spell Return: The Wheel of Time

Chapter 387 Going to Death
A video has been circulated on the Internet. Although it has been suppressed as much as possible, there are too many dark and unreachable corners in the ocean called the Internet, and this undercurrent cannot be curbed by one party alone.

The content of the video is actually very simple. It even looks like a trailer for a movie or a blockbuster game, with armed helicopters in the sky, fully armed combatants, and tracks that make people wonder whether they will crush tanks and armored vehicles on the ground.

The main perspective of that video is the side that seems to be surrounded and attacked. Then a person flies out from this side. Yes, flies out. He is not the kind of person who is hit by something or external force, but he flies out out of thin air like in those superhero movies.

As expected, the two sides, who were on the verge of a fight, started a battle that seemed to be a completely unequal battle on the surface. However, the result shocked any audience who saw it.

Because the flying figure then put on an equally incredible 'performance' that was very consistent with the way he appeared. In the video, countless guns and cannons were fired, and those destructive weapons that were enough to blow the entire block into pieces all stopped strangely around the laughing figure.

The invisible force repelled the bullets and artillery fire of different calibers, and even the exploding flames were forced to roll back. They could not even reach the safe area of ​​several meters around the figure.

What followed was a ruthless massacre. The terrified soldiers, who shouted "devil" and prayed to God to save them, all had large amounts of blood mist spurting out of their mouths and noses. The blood that was splashing in the air then seemed to have life and was summoned to his side by the figure, completely turning this one-sided battlefield into a scene of hell.

The last scene is the crazy butcher showing his fanaticism unscrupulously to the camera: "My Lord..."

Only the beginning of his speech was shown, and the rest of the scenes were all cut out. In fact, even those restricted scenes before were not easily visible on the Internet. After all, those scenes were too bizarre, especially when you knew that they really happened.

Some people may think that this is nothing, but they probably use their own thinking perspective to replace the idiots in most groups. The world is big and there are many people. When there are more people, things will become complicated. Now that humans have begun to explore the world outside the earth, there are still people who believe in some extremely ridiculous things.

It's not about exploring the deeper reasons behind this, but it's about the fact that there are barriers between people. As long as more people pay attention to the same thing, all kinds of opinions and influences will appear, not to mention a very bloody video that may even bring some hidden negative effects.

Therefore, in the East Country, most people saw the edited version of this video recording that caused a huge sensation. Firstly, some scenes were too bloody and violent and should not be spread. Secondly, this might cause many people to have a very negative impression of the sorcerer.

The reason is very simple: the East Country also needs to redevelop its own power of spells. The changes in Japan have forced spells into the vision of most beings in the world. Although the conceptual barrier that has been consolidated in the East Country since the Jedi Heavenly Pass to modern times to cut off feudal superstitions still exists, the power called spells, which can also be called law, Tao, and practice, will be greatly weakened in this land.

Therefore, the drastic changes in White Eagle would not be possible here, but the curse has been completely exposed, and it is conceivable how many ambitious countries or individuals will fanatically pursue and study this power. Didn’t you see that White Eagle has gone through countless negotiations with the East Country for Neon, but before that they were attacked by a group of lunatics.

Everyone is researching and studying hard. If you don't join in, won't you be completely left behind or even abandon this track? Even if Dongguo is very good at opening up a new track and then narrowing the gap, and finally surpassing others to become the leader.

But how can it be so easy to find a new track that can keep pace with the existence of spells? As for the negative effects it brings, there is no need to consider it. This kind of change that can affect the future pattern does not need to be considered by the East Country at all. They must join it.

Now they can indeed suppress the supernatural beings who set foot on this land, but what about the future? In the future, with this enthusiasm for spells and then leading to their continuous mastery, will they one day repeat the mistakes of the White Eagles today?

Ordinary people take one step at a time and look three steps ahead, while experts take one step at a time and look three steps ahead. However, at the national level, we have to look ten, dozens or even hundreds of years ahead. Since ancient times, those who do not plan for eternity are not qualified to plan for the moment, and those who do not plan for the overall situation are not qualified to plan for a specific area. This is the truth.

And this is the fundamental reason why the East Country allowed the spread of this edited video without stopping it, which is tantamount to tacitly allowing it to spread. The East Country is a big country, with one of the largest population and area in the world. They certainly cannot just make it public and promote it all at once like Japan did.

This kind of subtle and silent method can only be used to slowly let the public accept it, and at the same time control the direction. As for secretly, it must have been started a long time ago. Hiding one's skills and showing another has become a traditional art of the East, which is worth appreciating.

Of course, whether the outside world is watching the fun or marveling at the power called magic, and then going from not quite believing to trying every means to confirm and explore this power, it actually has little to do with the White Eagle who has now become a laughing stock of the world.

However, all these ridicules were made in secret. After all, the White House, the Five Square Buildings, and the death of a presidential candidate could almost be said to have their faces beaten and trampled on the ground, and all of this was caused by only a single digit number of people!
However, they later dispatched troops to start a battle in the city, but were completely defeated. The particularity of this so-called country, which is actually a large interest group, made White Eagle's reaction at this moment extremely divided.

On the one hand, they clamored to mobilize more armed forces and disperse the city's residents, as if they were willing to start a real war in the city again. However, they did not open fire again at the first time. On the other hand, they launched a fierce public opinion offensive in the country and in the news media and social platforms they controlled.

Not only did they attack Japan, the place of origin of these people who had been defined as terrorists, but they also secretly included the East Country, which was inexplicably dragged into the water.

In addition to this, there was internal strife. The party to which the slain presidential candidate belonged attacked their rival party with all their might, and disclosed that a warship sent by the White Eagles to Neon was completely destroyed but was suppressed, and then there was the fabricated means of attack.

What propaganda is that the warships sent by a certain party caused the hostility between them and the forces to which the terrorists belong, which then led to the current horrific disasters and caused the death of their currently popular candidate. This is all their conspiracy!

In short, the White Eagles are now in a mess, but all this is just a superficial illusion. While the outside world is still speculating on how the White Eagles will deal with those terrorists and what actions they will take to maintain their dominant position and reputation, everything that happened afterwards surprised many people and forces who were paying attention to this place. First, the East Country issued a statement, the content of which was very consistent with its usual position and style, mainly condemning the attack and at the same time stating its position and proof that it had not participated.

Then, as if they had discussed it beforehand, White Eagle immediately held a meeting with the leaders of East Country in person. Yes, at a time when the country was still in great chaos, they went to East Country for a secret meeting.

The content is unknown, but judging from the information released by both parties, the result was very harmonious and satisfied to both sides.

After that, they dealt with the terrorists in White Eagle. Their behavior was also very strange. After attacking the White House and the Five Square Building, they suddenly "converged" and stayed in the city where the deceased candidate gave his speech.

The only extraordinary thing was that they fought back and wiped out all the armed forces that were besieging them. So what were Hasegawa Akira, Kitagawa Hideo and the others waiting for? The answer was that they were waiting for Japan's cooperation as per the plan.

Soon, this change came.

The ancient sorcerers, with Karasugano Hengzi as their external spokesperson, suddenly declared the Neon government's illegitimacy after occupying the area radiating from the Imperial Palace. They stated that they were the real rulers of this land in the past, and now they were going to take everything back. At the same time, they believed that the definition of the country was no longer suitable for their ideals. They would accept anyone who was also a sorcerer and had the same ideal, which was to build an ideal place for sorcery to join them.

What can Neon do? Without their own armed forces, they are well aware of the power of spells, and they don’t think that the fighters and missiles they have can win such a war, even though the strongest one in that group is in the opposite camp.

A lot of high-ranking officials had already died before this, and the remaining people were all in danger. They had no courage to resist. Their only hope was Gojo Satoru, who disappeared for several days, stood up again and said he would crush this delusion.

Furthermore, the ancient sorcerers in the Imperial Palace did not do anything major afterwards. Apart from the sudden announcement, everything was so quiet as if nothing had happened.

However, this gave White Eagle an excellent target.

In the past, because of that famous attack, they were able to make a big fuss about it and started countless wars. Now, something even more horrifying has happened on their own land, and the other side has not concealed their organization at all.

Then they would launch a revenge action against them no matter what. The other party's open declaration gave them a legitimate reason that they might not necessarily need. It was inevitable that they would launch a real war against Neon or the group that openly declared that they wanted to establish a "country of magic".

Therefore, the specific content of the previous meeting with the East Country can be roughly guessed. It seems that the two sides should have exchanged interests, and White Eagle finally obtained the support and acquiescence of the East Country. Otherwise, if a real modern hot war was to be launched on the latter's doorstep, it would really be hard to imagine how many people would be nervous.

However, they currently need to deal with the few terrorists who are still in their country.

……

"Everyone, everything that the Lord God has predicted is about to happen. All preparations have been made. Now it is time for us to sacrifice our lives for the great cause. The Lord God has also said that if anyone wants to withdraw at this time, just leave. He will never hold them accountable. So, let's vote..."

After Hasegawa Akira finished speaking, he looked at everyone around him. As expected, they already knew everything since they took on this mission, and they had already been aware of it before coming here.

Seeing that everyone was silent and calm, Hasegawa Akira nodded and continued, "Okay! Let's talk about the next action. According to the adults' instructions, the White Eagle, who has no spell power, will seek help from the East Country. Although the latter's spell power, that is, what they call seekers of the law and seekers of the way, cannot exert any power in their native land, but after leaving the Jedi Tiantong place over there, they will also be extremely powerful spellcasters. I think everyone has heard of or seen this, right?"

All those present were ancient sorcerers who were reborn in flesh. They certainly could not be unfamiliar with the big country next door. Even in the past when the power of magic was at its peak, they all hid in this land and submitted to the dynasty of that time. Could there be other reasons?
Of course, it was because of the unimaginable, super-giant barrier that existed there. Any magician who set foot on that land would lose nine out of ten of his power. And how could that ancient country not have this kind of power? It was just called differently in different places.

In the past, there were even examples of "magicians" from that big country who came here to bully others in order to escape the suppression of the power by the barrier there. Therefore, modern magicians may not be very clear about the power of "spells" in the East Country, but they have a deep understanding of this.

So when the God Lord told them that they would eventually die at the hands of the "magician" of the latter country, whom White Eagle sought help from, they were not that surprised.

As for death? Haven't they already died once? Now, for the sake of God and the great cause, why should they be afraid of dying?
