Thousands of sparks

Chapter 136 Loyalty
Du Sande looked at the tired and weak armed security guards in front of him, feeling anxious and angry.

In all fairness, after a team has suffered more than 50% casualties, it is an impossible task to keep their morale high.But Du Sande had to find a way to make these armed security guards who had seen blood for the first time and were trembling all over after thinking about it move again.

The red-clothed postmen who hurried to Sunset Plaza brought bad news.

Massacres similar in nature to those in Upper Albin broke out in all sixteen major cities in Newsail.The postmen in red were hit hard, although the steam knight armor defense and battery life they were equipped with were far inferior to the active equipment of the Imperial Army used by the Heraldry Management Office.But given the number advantage of the church, the two or three steam knights equipped by postmen in red everywhere are really not enough.

The postmen in red from other areas could not be mobilized to Upper Albin to help wipe out the church, they could not even protect themselves—the attacks on the church were more frequent, and they had an absolute advantage in numbers.Once the postmen in red leave the post office to save people, they will be attacked by the church.

Aika was puzzled. They thought that the church probably did this kind of thing because they betrayed the empire.However, the church's mode of action could not support Aika's judgment at all—they only cared about killing people, but completely ignored the suppression of the powerful institutions in Niusal.Whether it is the police stations, post offices, or naval and army garrisons everywhere, the priests seem to think that these places have no people at all.

Dusande understood what these bearded men wanted to do, but he couldn't casually say the fact that "the empire betrayed us, and the emperor personally ordered to kill half of the population of Newsail to force us to rebel".

Although every qualified citizen of the empire has a limited amount of loyalty to the empire, after all, this loyalty is one of the pillars that support the work and life of the Imperial Colonial Office and others.

When the colony was under attack, it was suddenly learned that it was His Majesty the Emperor who ordered the attack. This fact of "explosion" can at least cause chaos for at least one hour to the numerous armed security guards, naval commandos and soldiers in Newsail. .

This kind of chaos is what Du Sande must do his best to avoid now.

The church is a gigantic entity, and the manpower and power it possesses are too large to be estimated.Obviously, the other party didn't even think about stopping the killing or discounting the emperor's order-they would keep killing every Newsail resident who appeared in front of their eyes until they were stopped or killed.

In order to stop such a killing as soon as possible, Du Sande must let all his soldiers have high will and morale, and any news that may affect morale needs to be controlled.

But you still have to get them moving.Dusand turned around several times in a hurry, and then suddenly had an idea.

"Comrades, I just received a notification from Aika." Dusande turned to the many tired armed security guards and said with a nervous expression, "There are two church steam knight brigades heading towards us. , and we'll be there in about 10 minutes!"

The word "comrades" has just been coined by Dusand. The root of this word is "comrades", the prefix is ​​the prefix of "brothers", and the ending is the ending of "ism".

The pronunciation of the word Dusand made up urgently sounded a bit like "Tavarixi". Although the armed security guards didn't particularly understand the meaning of the word, they could still understand Dusande's words.

"We have no other choice now, we must leave the square immediately." Dusande said loudly to the armed security guards, "The next destination is Constitution Square, we must get there as soon as possible, and quickly eliminate the possible remaining in Constitution Square All enemies. Then, clear the position and start arming."

"I know you are all tired, but for the sake of your own lives, I must also ask you to stand up immediately and set off with me." Du Sande was doing everyone's ideological work sincerely, after all, he did not lie ——Aika did find signs of the steam knight's activities outside the city, but the opponent may not be coming towards the sunset square.

"Comrades, I understand, you are all very tired." Dusande sighed, he called an Aika steam knight, stood on its shoulder and shouted loudly, "Look at the sacrifices around you!" Why did they sacrifice? They wanted to save your lives and avenge those who died in the square! With the best wishes, they put down their work and came to the square to pray for the dead compatriots ...and then massacred!"

Du Sande raised his voice and asked angrily, "They are no different from your relatives - they work hard to provide their families with a better life in this damn world. They rely on The kindness deep in my heart decided to temporarily put down work to mourn those compatriots who died. Just like your family and relatives... Among them, there may be acquaintances you just passed by in the morning, your relatives and friends, or even With your family!"

Dusand's roar became louder and louder, and the eyes of the tired armed security guards and the red-clothed postmen who looked disappointed gradually became brighter.

"I don't know if my parents are safe now, and I don't know if my friends are safe." When he said this, Du Sande felt a little pain in his heart. Because... Du Sande is really not sure about the safety of his parents.

If there were only one or two steam knights conducting an assault, then the safety of Androni and Duchamp would definitely not be a problem.But...there are at least sixty steam knights in Sunset Square alone...this number is far beyond Dusand's expectation.

Right now, Dussande is really panicking—he doesn't know where his parents are or if they're safe.What's worse, he couldn't even confirm whether Duchamp and Androni were safe.

Dusande's entire team was still extremely short-handed. After being strengthened by the red-clothed postman and their steam knights, the entire team was only more than 70 people, plus three steam knights and two tanks.

With such power, it is still difficult to protect itself, and it is simply impossible to continue to expand the results of the battle.

"We are going directly to Constitution Square, and I will send two postmen in red to help us continue to fight for aid." Dusande announced loudly to the armed security guards and postmen in red around him, "Don't let your comrades use your own death The results of the battle are wasted in vain... all of them!"

Dusande yelled, and all the soldiers around him stood up straight, "Here!"

"Count the ammunition, clear the firearms, and set off with me in half a quarter of an hour!"

"We should retreat at noon tomorrow." His Excellency the archbishop sat on his seat with difficulty concealing his fatigue, clutching a white linen cloth in one hand, and pressing his forehead firmly.He looked at the bishop kneeling respectfully in front of him and said, "Where is the fleet?"

"The fleet should arrive at the target location late at night today." The bishop bowed his head and said, "The director of the mining association assured me that the fleet will arrive at the coordinate location on time. And he will board the ship and evacuate with us."

The archbishop didn't answer immediately. He glanced at his favorite student, and then said leisurely, "God said that the resentment buried in my heart will only become a poison that poisons loyalty."

The bishop was silent for a while and then said, "Your Excellency, the director sent by the mining association...he is not very reliable."

"We only need to be loyal to His Majesty. The loyalty of other people is not what we need to consider." The archbishop raised his body with difficulty, revealing the white linen cloth that he pressed on his forehead and said, "We only need to execute His Majesty the Emperor." That's enough."

There was a large amount of blood on the archbishop's forehead, and the skull, which was about the size of a palm, disappeared directly.The brain tissue inside is directly exposed to the air.

The 72-year-old archbishop was the first to charge into the crowd as the cleansing operation began on Plaza de Sunset.But his action was blocked by a "coincidence".A Nusaal armed security guard fired a shot at the archbishop.

Logically speaking, this bullet should not have any effect on the steam knight.But just as God said——even if the probability is small, it may happen.After traveling a distance of more than 200 yoles, this bullet accurately hit the lower edge of the eye opening of the archbishop's steam knight's visor.

The bullet was ejected by the lower edge of the eye opening, and then at an extremely tricky angle, it opened the skull of His Excellency the Archbishop.But unfortunately, the archbishop is still alive.

The bearded bishop glanced at his teacher, then lowered his head again.

"Gustavo Gutierrez." The archbishop called his student's name, and he said with some regret, "I have a hunch that God is opening his arms to my death. There are 10,000+ people in the entire Nusaal Church Concentric, you will soon be needed to lead them forward."

"Teacher, we are walking on a path destined to go wrong." After a long silence, Bishop Gutierrez looked at the archbishop and said, "Your Majesty is also a human being. Humans... are bound to make mistakes."

"God knows too, my child." The archbishop's eyes gradually lost their focus, and he whispered, "God will give His Majesty the emperor a warning and reminder in time."

"This warning and reminder...sometimes also passes through other people." Bishop Gutierrez said quietly to his teacher, "For example, our loyal servants."

The archbishop had lost the strength to answer, he reached out his hand to his disciple, wanting to say something more.

"Teacher, if there are only warnings and reminders, it is not enough to wake up the emperor who made a big mistake." Bishop Gutierrez stood up and brushed the archbishop's eyes with both hands, "His Majesty needs a more direct lesson. And a reminder - if we fail to wake him up, now may be the time to see if God's providence is still focused on the royal family."

Gutierrez raised his hand and punched the dead archbishop's skull.When he drew out his fist, his hand had already been cut several times by the skull.

"Grab Feuerbach, if he dares to resist, then break his limbs." Gutierrez called his cronies, and without hesitation issued his first order as Archbishop of Newsail , "Send a letter to the Heraldry Management Office and tell them-on the premise of ensuring the safety of the entire church, we intend to surrender."

　Diarrhea plus fever, dizziness and numbness... I obviously wanted to take a day off to adjust, but I didn't expect it to be even more uncomfortable.

　　Could this be update withdrawal syndrome?Tsk, why am I so cheap?

　　Update a chapter first, and it should be back to normal tomorrow... right?
