Chapter 320 The Three Little Ones’ Village
For Katis, the waiting time passed very slowly and difficultly, but at least he waited for Bud and Nadezhda to come. They agreed to have a meeting outside the imperial capital. The content of the meeting was "Where is the future of the revolutionary army?"

In fact, Katis has now understood that in the face of absolute power, holding talks outside the city is nothing but deceiving oneself. If others really want to kill them, they will not be able to escape no matter where the talks are held.

But if they were really allowed to enter the city, no one would be so careless. Once they entered the city, they would have nowhere to escape. If something really happened outside the city, at least they would have room to escape. With so many people, it's impossible to kill them all, right?

The two sides met in an open space outside the city. Looking at Bud and Nadezhda who did not bring many people with them, Katis felt that he had lost again, because the imperial weapon users on their side had mobilized their entire army, and they were far behind in courage.

"Najta, long time no see. I never thought you could do this."

Looking at the high-spirited Nadezhda, Katis felt mixed emotions.

But how can I put it? This woman seemed to have always been like this. Even when she came to join the revolutionary army in poverty, she still looked confident that she would accomplish something great.

It is precisely because of this that she, an outsider, was excluded and squeezed out of the center of power. A capable and ambitious outsider will certainly not be welcomed by everyone.

But they probably never thought that Nadezhda could achieve what she has today. The originally good situation has gone out of control because of this sudden change. They can no longer predict their own ending.

"Katis, the Emperor's request is simple. Lay down your weapons and stop resisting. This way, everyone can retain some dignity, and you can stay in the Imperial Capital and participate in the new government."

Compared to Katis, who had mixed feelings and was thinking a lot, Nadezhda was much more direct. After all, Ke Ling had already drawn a line, and she only needed to act within this line.

Ke Ling's request to the revolutionary army was very simple: hand over the military power, and the main figures should stay in the imperial capital and serve as officials in the capital based on their own abilities. They could also be sent out if they wanted, but that would be after everything was stabilized. In short, they had to accept the reality that it was no longer possible for them to become the rulers of the empire.

"I know that everyone has an ideal in their heart. Let's build an empire together!"

Nadezhda looked at everyone in the National Revolutionary Army. Her words were meant for those who still had passion in their hearts, not for those who were full of petty intrigues.

"."

Katis remained silent, and the core members of the revolutionary army behind him were in an uproar. Of course, many of them were already tempted, and even many had already established contact with Nadezhda.

"Katis, what are you hesitating about? Nadezhda said that it was the Emperor who overthrew the evil Ernest and the little emperor, and was determined to let the people of the empire live a good life. Isn't this the same as what our revolutionary army wants?"

Among them, the core members of the revolutionary army who had a good relationship with Nadezhda and stood on Nadezhda's side began to take the initiative to speak up for Nadezhda.

They believed in Nadezhda. If the emperor was really a perverse person, Nadezhda would not support him. They all recognized Nadezhda's revolutionary beliefs. Nadezhda sincerely wanted to build a good country.

"."

There were passionate young people with firm revolutionary beliefs and who were dedicated to serving the country. Naturally, there were also those who joined the revolutionary army just for their own interests. After the revolutionary army gradually grew stronger, there were actually quite a few such people. Otherwise, the revolutionary army would not have taken such deep roots in the South, and many of them would have become representatives of local interests.

“Who knows whether what they say is true or not?”

Before the discussion even started, Nadezhda's words had already caused a tit-for-tat situation within the revolutionary army. In fact, it was the influence of the situation, momentum and so on. If everyone felt that the game was over and the great cause was difficult to accomplish, then naturally, the situation of monkeys scattering when the tree fell would appear.

"Quiet! We're not done yet!"

Katis's head hurt from the noise, he roared to stop everyone, looking at the revolutionary army today, he couldn't help but start to miss the purity of the beginning, but he knew that all this was his own choice.

Katis didn't feel that he had done anything wrong. They had indeed been growing and becoming stronger. However, everything had become different because of this sudden change.

Is the revolutionary army's great cause really going to be ruined here? Do they really have no chance at all?
Katis was struggling in his heart, but it had to be said that even he himself, after seeing that scene and the power of the Emperor, had lost some of his courage.

It can only be said that most people have no idea about the power of the truly top-notch imperial instruments. It was only when they came to the imperial capital this time that they truly witnessed it and realized the gap between one imperial instrument and another.

First, the cold weather in the imperial capital was very different from other places. It was said that it was caused by the battle when overthrowing Ornest. Then, the terrifying power of the Emperor of Heaven was just like a god in the sky. If he went to the east, what would happen to An Ning Dao? Everyone should just kneel down and worship the Emperor of Heaven!
Katis was shaken and didn't know what to choose. Under such circumstances, was it really possible for him to reverse the future?
Here, Katis fell into deep self-doubt, while on the other side, in a remote village in the eastern part of the empire, Tatsumi, Sau, and Iyeas were also sighing.

They never expected that the An Ning Dao would actually rise up in rebellion. The deputy leader Bolick, who had been controlling the situation and suppressing the An Ning Dao, suddenly began to instigate an uprising!

You know, An Ning Dao has deep roots in the east, and its followers are a mixed bunch. With the expansion of their strength, most of them have long been ambitious and ready to compete with the empire. It has always been Deputy Leader Bolick who has suppressed them. Deputy Leader Bolick, who controls the power of the sect, is actually the one who is most opposed to uprising in An Ning Dao.

It is this person who now seems to be crazy and directly mobilizes the followers of An Ning Dao to start an uprising.

In fact, this incident did not have a particularly big impact on Tatsumi's village. After all, their village was located in a relatively border area. Although people from An Ning Dao had come to preach and even sent some supplies, they did not actually care much about them, and there were not many fanatical believers in their village.

However, although Anningdao did not drag their village into the quagmire of war, for Tatsumi and his people, the uprising of Anningdao completely cut off the connection between their village and the empire. Can Lord Devil still find them? !
They came back because they believed what Lord Devil said, but now, can the promised support still come?
The funds that Ke Ling gave them had long been exchanged for food, clothing and other things. This was something to be thankful for, because even if they had money now, it would probably be difficult to buy them. When the war started, prices soared, and everyone held on to the things they had. It was not easy to ensure their own survival.

It's not that there is no war in the east. After all, there are still loyal subjects in the empire. Many garrison troops of the empire have clashed with Anning Dao. From the uprising to now, the fighting has never stopped. Of course, there are more imperial troops who have directly laid down their arms.

“I don’t know what the current situation is.”

Sau sighed. She, Tatsumi and Iyeas were patrolling around the village. When the war broke out, all kinds of people were there. All they could do now was to protect the safety of the village first.

"Master Devil is so powerful, he will be fine."

Iyeas spoke with great confidence. Ke Ling's heroic deeds and life-saving grace made him regard Ke Ling as an idol. "Of course Lord Devil will be fine. It's a pity that we can't help."

Tatsumi has always hoped that Ke Ling could come to them as soon as possible. On the one hand, he wants to solve the village's difficulties as soon as possible. On the other hand, he naturally hopes to follow Ke Ling to achieve great things and work hard to help the vast majority of the people in the empire escape from suffering.

"Buzz!"

Just as the three were sighing, the shadow marks on their bodies jumped, and then the shadow door opened, and Ke Ling's figure emerged.

"What are you three doing here?"

Ke Ling showed up and asked. He came to the east to solve the problem of An Ning Road and came here to take a look.

Of course, he certainly didn't forget about these three little guys. After all, there is also Tatsumi, the "male protagonist" who has a high probability of producing special characteristics.

"Master Devil!"

Seeing Ke Ling suddenly appear, the three little guys were all surprised, but after the surprise turned into joy.

"We are on patrol. From time to time, there will be some unruly soldiers, bandits and the like wandering over. We have to protect the safety of the village."

Tatsumi explained that this was actually the norm. Even when An Ning Dao had not yet risen up in rebellion, they still had to protect the village, and bandit activities were already rampant at that time.

Ke Ling nodded, thinking that the empire pill was indeed not just talk. The original empire had indeed reached a precarious moment. The local officials were rotten, and the combat effectiveness and fighting will of the local army were also mediocre. Only the central army was still very capable, which allowed the empire to survive until now.

"Let's go and see your village."

Ke Ling spoke up and said that he had an idea, which was to move some people into the "Shadow Realm" to add some popularity.

For those who have suffered greatly from war and the empire, it is obviously a good choice. They really want to go to a place where they can live and work in peace, instead of worrying about dying in war all day long.

Of course, if someone is unwilling to leave the ancestral land where they have lived for generations, Ke Ling will not force them, but he feels that the possibility of refusal is small. After all, given the current situation, no one would believe you if you said that the empire would soon return to stability.

"Come this way, we'll be in the village soon."

Under the leadership of Tatsumi, Sau and Iyeas, Ke Ling soon saw the village where the three lived. They were patrolling not far away, and there were adults patrolling further away. Of course, they would not let the three children take on the most dangerous tasks. The atmosphere in the village was still very simple and honest.

The fact that the villagers are very simple and honest can actually be seen from Tatsumi, Sau and Iyeas. It is impossible that the environment is too extreme to raise these three children. The same can be said of Esdeath who is currently in solitary confinement. She had already killed a lot of people at her age.

"Tatsumi, Sauyu, Iyeas, call all the people in your village who have things to say and do to come here. I will tell you about my plans, and you can discuss them and see what the plan is."

After entering the village, Ke Ling made arrangements directly and assigned tasks to the three little guys.

"Okay! Let's go now!"

When they heard that Ke Ling was coming to solve the problem, the three little guys became very enthusiastic. After all, Ke Ling was so powerful, there was no reason for him to play tricks on them. Besides, he had come all the way here specially, could it be that he came here just to make fun of them?
It was impossible no matter how they thought about it, so the three of them were very much looking forward to what was to come, and they all hoped that the village would be able to live a better life.

After learning that the great philanthropist who had donated a large amount of supplies to the village was coming in person, the village chief and a group of prestigious elders in the village quickly put down their work and rushed over, and even a group of people followed to watch.

"Go away! You have nothing to do, right? Why are you here to join in the fun? Are you too full after eating?!"

Fearing that the noble would be annoyed, the village chief immediately stepped forward to chase them away. After everyone had dispersed, the village chief came to Ke Ling with a smile on his face.

"Sir, thank you very much for taking care of the three children. Without you, they might not have come back. You also lent a helping hand to the village. We really don't know how to thank you."

The kind-looking village chief started by thanking Ke Ling profusely. He was sincere in his gratitude. Ke Ling was a noble person that the three children had met.

Looking at Ke Ling from afar, he felt that this man must be a big shot of extremely noble status, but such a big shot did not appear to be high and mighty. Instead, he gave people a feeling of being approachable and warm, which made people unable to help but feel good about and respect him.

"You're being polite. I admire the character of these three children. Since I promised them that I would help them solve the village's problems, I will definitely do it. If you want to thank someone, thank them three."

Ke Ling smiled, helped the old village chief, and gave the credit to the three children. But what he said was actually true. If it weren't for the request of the three children, he wouldn't have come to take special care of this village. There were people in the empire who were living a worse life than them.

Although Ke Ling has a positive outlook and is willing to do something to restore order in a country and a world that is suffering so that everyone can live a more normal life, he is not kind enough to save everyone.

There is no way. Human power is limited. His power is not that terrifying. He is not a real "emperor". Of course, even if he is an "emperor", there are things he cannot do, such as "loving his son."

The reason why Ke Ling came here was ultimately because of Tatsumi's specialness, because Tatsumi could bring him benefits.

All along, Ke Ling could proudly say that he was barely a good man with a certain moral bottom line, but it would be too much to hold him to the standards of a saint.

In fact, he has made great efforts to maintain a relatively normal personality, which is worthy of pride. If it were someone else, he would have already said "I don't eat beef" long ago.
