The Riddler Get Out of Terra

The blue-haired cat whispered, weeping but never feeling depressed at all. He just patted Theresa's slender palm and told her with a palm that was so weak that it was about to lose even a trace of strength.

The Will of Lysandral:

"Go to Alphonse, Theresia. The tide of time will roll in after my death. My eyes can no longer see the present, but the future has never been as clear as this moment. Go, Theresia. , there is no need to be sad for me, no need to stay longer because of me, the world will always move forward, how many people can escape death? But I believe that some people are born after death, go, don’t wait, don’t hesitate because of this, miss it An era!”

The palm that was in contact with Theresia's fingers suddenly lost its strength, and Rael's slender arms turned into ashes inch by inch under Theresia's gaze. These ashes were like the long-dead body she saw that afternoon but had no influence on the whole world. Like the broken dust on the reluctant charred corpse, it disappeared into nothingness under Sakaz's gaze.

Lesandral is about to fall, and the most important puzzle piece that makes up Rael's identity has been cracked, and Filmen can no longer maintain his stay in the world.

The white-haired demon subconsciously reached out to catch the disappearing ashes, but he could only rub it repeatedly in the empty air. The only thing he could capture was the wave-like emptiness and sadness that came from nowhere.

Nothingness?Is it the passing of a king?Or was it the departure of a friend traveling with Kazdaele?

Sad for what?Is it the disappearance of Lysandral, or is Kazdaele about to be involved in war again and never look back?

She didn't have an answer. The answer came from behind:

"He is right, leave here, Theresia, Alphonse is the center of the storm."

Usha opened the door and stared blankly at the indistinguishable bodies of Rael and Felin, which were reduced to ashes. The projection of the king's will was as unscrupulous as himself, and she didn't want to leave any traces except Kazdel.

But who would leave no trace?

Theresia wanted to say something, but her throat was choked with words and she couldn't express any thoughts.

Usha refused to communicate with the white-haired former princess. The girl with short purple hair walked quietly to Theresia and grabbed her shoulders. In the next moment, the psychic linkage was so fast that Theresia could not catch it. Disappeared, the scene in front of the two people suddenly changed dramatically, and the highest rescue cabin of the Alfons Research Department and Medical Department flashed a cold and rational light in their eyes.

They passed through all obstacles in an instant and appeared in front of Resandral's ward across space!

This is……

Theresia looked around in astonishment, seeing the cold white lamps on the ceiling, the metal walls painted with light blue paint, and the quiet ward with clear windows. There was only the echo of the air purifier spraying clean air with the fragrance of vegetation under the sun.

The power of Demon King Sarkaz was wandering in the body of the former princess. Theresia keenly captured the sense of disobedience caused by the fleeting mental fluctuations. She realized that Usha's transmission was some kind of extremely superb spiritual transmission, but Not a single sliver of scale claws could be seen.

But for now, there is no need to pay attention to these technologies, which would cause an uproar in the academic world if published in the Columbia Science Journal. Theresia followed Usha into the ward, and then met too many important people in Kazdaele:

Han Xin, Kong Ming, Akashi, Iroha, August, Guo Zhong, Xi Jia... almost all the big names Theresa knew or didn't know gathered here, and they looked at the pale and weak body of Lessandral. , as if seeing a handful of burned ashes in his eyes.

Are all these people here to visit Raisang?

Theresia thought, but she was also happy that Resandral could have so many like-minded friends - even if some people died, this land would still miss his name and remember his existence.

"Prime Minister, Prime Minister."

Leisandral's weak voice woke up Kong Ming who was guarding him. Qinglong came over as if he had just woken up from a dream and sat beside Leisang's bed.

"Has Hao Zhao arrived? Has Wu Ersha arrived?"

The empty body asked this, and the empty spirit led to countless images, but he relied on instinct to find the truth among the countless illusions.

"It's all here, it's all here."

Kong Ming answered him, gently held Lei Sang's cold palm, and provided him with the last bit of warmth.

"That's fine, that's fine."

Lei Sang took a long breath, relaxed, and began to whisper his last words before leaving:

"After my death, all the countries will compete to attack Kazdel. Urshake will step forward to take the throne. I hope you will work together to overcome the difficulties."

He turned his head with difficulty to look at the many colleagues gathered around him, and gently moved his lips:

"My sister is young, so I hope you can help her."

Then there was silence.

"Leisang? Leisan?!"

Even though the signal from Leisandral in the psychic sea had completely disappeared, Kong Ming continued to push Leisang's body in the mortal world, as if [Jolan], the one closest to him among the feathers, could reawaken and continue with him. Cooperation is the same.

But how can the burned flesh and blood answer his call?The blood trapped in Lei Sang's body could not find the handful of burned ashes even before it was cold, and could only calmly maintain an empty shell from collapsing.

Three years after the founding of the Kazdare First Empire, Lysandral, the king of Sakaz, fell.

Chapter 8 The Long Song of the Surge ([-])

News of Resandral's death spread throughout Kazdaele Public Service.

Even though the anti-demon alliance is forming, the countries of Terra seem to be preparing to repeat the feast of the coalition of countries attacking Kazdaele to eliminate Sakaz, recruiting troops

, swords, guns and clubs are all ready, ready to regain the past glory by attacking Kazdaele at any time... The highest level of Kazdaele's First Empire still has not chosen to mourn in secret.

The dream announcements of the five major legions, the news broadcasts in major cities, newspapers and periodicals were printed everywhere... The news of the death of Resandral was no less impressive than when he announced the establishment of the Kazdaele First Empire at the Alphonse Parade Square three years ago. The news spread rapidly, and all the Sakaz in the country knew about the death of King Sakaz.

Some people feel sad - they originally lived at the bottom of Kazdaele City. The Sakaz who advocate bravery look down on their weak kin, and wantonly use their flesh and blood bodies to add even a slight chance of victory to their attacks. Before Sandral's rise, their lives were comparable to those of slaves in the mines of Ursus.

Some people are crazy - they cannot accept the passing of a king and collapse to the point where they cannot accept it. Some of these people yell at the screen, and some hide at home and cry. They have experienced the pain of war and have Lysandral existed as a symbol of peace, but now, the king of Sakaz, who symbolized peace, has fallen.

Some people are happy - their bodies are getting weaker and weaker in the mysterious chain that envelopes the entire Kazdaele. The age lost ten times makes aging quickly catch up with these dissatisfied demon careerists. They are eager for chaos and fighting, but have no courage. Participating in the fifth legion's assessment, he was able to bully the weakest at the bottom, but now he can only suppress his nature.

There are many people like the above three types in Sarkaz, but their influence on Kazdaele is not as great as the number of people - as we all know, it is very difficult to convert ideas into actions, and there is a huge gap between impulse and careful consideration. After separation, these people may be sad or ecstatic, but as time goes by, they will eventually return to the order established by Resandral.

The pressure that really makes [Jolen] wary is not in Kazdaele controlled by Lysandral's radiation.

"Let Chernobog, Irag, Kilberg, and Chegluzo crash into Kazdaele."

"? Why? Wouldn't it be better to attack directly?"

"Hey, Colonel, we have to understand one thing. You won't tell me what we have swallowed secretly over the years, but I won't tell you, but we can always find problems - the new emperor has been looking for opportunities to try to settle things, can't you see? "

"But what does this have to do with these mobile cities?"

"My dear Colonel, think about your family, think about your family, think about the vacation home you bought in Colombia, think about your lovely daughter and beautiful wife, and then, use your imagination, Think about the Ursus inner guard, think about the infected mines, think about those nobles who failed in the fight against the new emperor and were thrown into the mines!"

"Think about it, what will happen to you and me if someone finds out what we have done, or even if there is something wrong with just a few lines of words on the table, what will happen to us?!"

"Now, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is here to send some 'good things' that do not exist in reality but exist on paper into these cities, so that no matter how big the holes in those numbers are, it has nothing to do with us!"

"Yes, sir!"

"... Just understand. In addition, appease the idiots in these cities, but also remember to rescue the 'remaining' supplies in the mobile city after the impact on Kazdaele."

The officer's meaningful sight was blocked by the heavy curtain behind him, and the cold wind mixed with snowflakes and ice particles hit his face without any shame. Sergey shivered in response, and his bear ears with thick hair drooped.

He knew what his commander meant and had to carry out his orders.

In Ursus, it has become a tradition within the military to seek bribes and falsely report accounts. Even when the late emperor led Ursus to seize land and resources, corruption within the military continued.

After the new emperor succeeded to the throne and the struggle with the military aristocrats and old aristocrats gradually became fierce, the Ursus army, which had been repeatedly reduced in military expenses, undoubtedly carried forward the old tradition.

Here, the big-head soldiers are at the lowest level. They can't get the big heads. The most they can do is bully ordinary people with their skin. Only when you become an officer can you do something about certain accounts and gain some gains - and then these gains will be A large part of it goes into the pockets of the superiors, otherwise the officer may be slapped with a big head the next day just because he stepped into the barracks with his left foot.

This rigid ecology of ups and downs, fighting for each other, and numerous factions has been firmly linked to the Ursus army. Not to mention the new emperor, even if the deceased old emperor uses internal guards, if he does not want to cause a mutiny in the army, he will You have to hold your nose and admit it.

Sergey was just one of the ordinary officers. He had a beautiful wife and a lovely daughter to support, and he needed money very much. Fortunately, he became a colonel because of his admiration, and was taken over by his superior who was the battalion commander at the time. He was brought to the position of colonel and was affectionately dubbed the "iron wall" by his superiors for his loyalty and rigidity.

It’s just that the struggle in Ursus itself has become more and more intense, and their ship, carrying a few civilians who are not nobles, has become more and more precarious. It may be given away as a gift by a big boss in the parliament at any time due to some exchange of benefits. .

——There are too many reasons, as many as you want. Who can achieve their status in the Ursus army, who is not a good player in the old tradition?

When these things are fine, you can naturally turn a blind eye, but if necessary, you can kill them!

Sergey would have

The boss is also trembling day and night, fearing the coming reckoning. He always keeps a sharp crossbow under his pillow, ready to end his life at any time to prevent harm to his family.

But he does still have some luck:

The king of Kazdare named Redela is actually dead!

The Ursus people keenly grasped the weak period of this new empire, or what they thought was a weak period. As an old empire that prospered when an emperor came to the throne, and suffered successive defeats because of the death of the king, they knew very well. What is the dilemma Kazdaele will face!

The struggle for fame and wealth within the power class, the fear of the grassroots people losing their leader, the economic blueprint that cannot be expanded due to the blockade of the Anti-Devil Alliance... Any of these factors will lead to the lag and failure of Kazdaele's order to respond. And each of these jams can be the key to the Ursus people's victory!

Even the new emperor was caught between two forces and had to point his spear at the neighboring new empire. In other words, he himself was very happy to destroy the fallen empire composed of demons.

Chapter 9 The Long Song of the Surge ([-])

"You guys, take the rest of the team with you and go do something in a few days. As for what you are going to do... come and see me tonight!"

Sergey glanced at the officers who were called to him, selected a few officers who had made the most contributions on weekdays, and pointed them one by one into the queue.

The officers had done this kind of dirty work under Colonel Sergei countless times, so how could they still not understand what the commander meant?

The few officers who were singled out were smiling happily, while the guys who stayed behind and were dismissed by Sergei were breathing heavily, staring jealously at the lucky guys, and the hot breath exhaled from their noses smoked white through the masks in the ice and snow. Vast steam.

Although most of it was taken by Sergey as a tribute to his superior, even the leftovers after Sergei finished eating were enough for them, the young officers, to eat and drink!

As for objection?

Oh, will those who can be retained in Ursus's army be those who speak uprightly and selflessly?The captain, known as a patriot, distributed all the rewards for military merit to the soldiers who fought with him. The soldiers he commanded did not steal money or embezzle it for themselves. They were well-disciplined and well-trained, but what happened?

With a decree, the patriots were kicked out of the order of external combat and thrown into the purge queue for internal suppression, using the blood of civilians to dull the sharp spears of Bodrokas.

When he left the army inexplicably and went to the tundra with his dead comrades, the new emperor directly expelled Wendigo from the army with a transfer order!

There was no commendation, no remembrance, not even symbolic criticism. Starting with the deletion of the patriot Bodrokas, a new round of fighting for interests was put on the table, and a large number of officers who were unwilling to obey the old rules were arbitrarily labeled. Just kick them out - and leave the space and resources to those in need.

In the current Ursus Legion, no matter how good they are as officers, they are still stained with dust.

Of course the complicit officers envy the lucky ones who were selected. After all... the internal political struggle in Ursus has become much more intense. It is always good to save more money now that prices are soaring.

·

"No one from the corps that will be involved in combat will be sent out to garrison a mobile city that is not in combat order."

The Patriot responded to Tartarus's question in a positive tone, but the old man's determination soon weakened in the face of the evidence:

"But in Ursus everything is possible."

"Old stubborn, what you said is like you didn't say it."

Froststar, who had just completed the integration and sent troops to punish the generals, rudely exposed the embarrassment of Bozokas on the side. The whole family was persecuted by Ursus and worked as a hard labor in the Originium mine. White Rabbit faced the Ursus army. Not to mention being polite:

"Let me tell you what is going on. You are no longer the captain of Ursus, and you are still here to cover up for them?"

"..."

The patriot was so choked up by his adopted daughter's frankness that he almost couldn't get off the stage. After a long while, he hesitated to say some "conventions", or it could be said to be actions he hated deeply:

"Five years before the war that swept through half of Terra and is remembered by everyone in Ursus to this day, the late emperor sent people to conduct a thorough inspection of the remaining supplies in granaries and arsenals in various places, and sent another group of people to conduct a thorough inspection. The number and training level of the troops in various places, the internal guards are hiding in the dark to check the two groups of people, to prevent anyone from accepting bribes and turning the lie into reality."

When she heard about the war, Froststar frowned - White Rabbit never thought that the war was a big adventure with glory and gain. The only gift that the war gave her was her father, mother, grandmother and her whole family. The pain of people being thrown into the mines. Because of their openly disgusting remarks about the war, the Ursus military police who had already fallen into fanaticism directly angered the Froststar family after the failure of the Udong War. They were all treated as infected and thrown into the mines. The field comes and goes.

Patriots will certainly have some nostalgia for the past because of victory, glory, friends, and comrades-in-arms, but for Froststar, that war is just like Bodrokas killed his son Growazel with his own hands while suppressing the rebellion. A deep pain that will never be forgotten.

But when today's Wendigo warriors mention that war, it is obviously not to express their nostalgia for the late emperor:

"But when the investigation team left the capital of Ursus, the problems emerging in various places were more serious than the emperor imagined. Ursus was like being suddenly targeted by the legendary Balrog. Warehouses, granaries, armaments and all kinds of Fires broke out one after another where the files were located, and the fire destroyed all the remains. The parties involved even

The temperature of the flames is so high that even steel will become invisible. "

"At the same time, the garrison corps from various places sent out a large number of soldiers as if to show their loyalty to the late emperor. They rushed to the friction zone between Ursus and the other countries on the outdated land carrier equipment to 'show off their skills', but Because the enemy was too cunning, they died one after another."

Hearing this ridiculous report, even Frost Star, who had no interest in Bodrokas in the past, widened his eyes in astonishment. The White Rabbit, who was about to take a drink of water, raised his ears high and coughed repeatedly, almost swallowing the water that he had just drank. Spit out all the water from below:

"Are they crazy or is Emperor Ursus crazy? This kind of report didn't make him go on a killing spree to replace all these people?"

It's okay to have one or two cases. With similar cases like that of fire dragons burning warehouses and heroic sacrifices all over the country, even someone like her who has never been exposed to national economic material coordination and large-scale war command knows that there is something fishy? !

Could it be that the late Emperor Ursas, whom Bodrokas described as "wise, courageous, and magnanimous", was not as good as someone who had never even read a book like her and had only learned calligraphy from Wendigo for a few years? !

"The inspection is just an excuse. If a monarch who is evaluated by later generations as a so-called 'virtuous monarch' does not understand the twists and turns in these things, he will not be called a 'virtuous monarch'."

Tartarus was used to it. After all, when he was on Earth, this kind of thing was so common that any international news would suggest that Terra, a territory that is closed and firmly closed from politics to ideology, would be a miracle only for a strong army if it is not dealt with - ——Don’t you see, General Dayan Zuo has to give a banquet to the officials from the capital? Why don’t you be polite?

Red Dragon explained calmly:

"It's just an exchange. The emperor knows it, but he has to let the army know that he knows it. Not pursuing the case does not mean not pursuing it, but it is an obvious exchange. After the thorough investigation, the emperor can send internal guards to station. Military supervision has become the default rule, and it is precisely because of this thorough investigation that Ursus can save enough supplies for the expedition within five years, otherwise..."

He let out a sneer, which seemed to be mocking the tactics of the former Ursus emperor, and also seemed to be satirizing the current Ursus people's old tricks:

"These cities are exactly how some people protect themselves!"

"But..." Tartarus turned his head, with an enthusiastic smile on his face, and asked Bodracasti and Froststar: "How about we take this opportunity to build our own mobile city?"

Sacrificing Kirijo is the moment when Kirijo is most vulnerable and all traps have been destroyed. The opportunity has come!

Happy Dragon Boat Festival!

Happy Dragon Boat Festival to all readers!

I originally wanted to write a chapter today, but for some reason my eyes started to become congested with blood yesterday, and my lower eyelids were more bloodshot. I put on eye drops and lay down straight away. The update is just...
