Longmen Memoirs

She stood up straight, it was a kind of etiquette that Chen Mo had never seen before, it was solemn and formal.

"Sarkaz mercenary... Mudrock, please let an ordinary Sarkaz follow your footsteps from now on. Sir, please also point me in the direction I should go in the future."

"Even if I cause countless bloodshed and sacrifices by the Sakaz people."

If Chen Mo told Ni Yan that what he said had no purpose, it would be impossible because he has always been a despicable person, but what does it matter? At least Ni Yan wouldn't care even if he knew.

"Meaningful death is called sacrifice. Sir, let me be your sword and shield. I will abide by this oath and protect you until I fall."

She has not experienced more mud rocks in exile. Perhaps at this time, she still carries some kind of enthusiasm and yearning, just like some of the Sakaz who chose to follow Theresia. But the difference is that she really saw the possibility. .

Chen Mo didn't realize the weight of these words, nor did he expect that these words would inspire the Sakaz girl's work enthusiasm, and at the same time bring him countless jobs and Sakaz girls. The problem.

She always has a hundred thousand whys.

Chapter 1 Dark Ages

[I underestimated the complexity of the situation in Kazdel Neb. I was still too optimistic, which may have caused my previous ideas and arrangements to go in another direction.

But it's also an opportunity.

Victoria is also experiencing the same changes. There are shadows of other forces lurking behind the cities and factions in the Kazdaele territory.

Kelsey told me I needed to go to Londinium.

The matter has come to this, there is no way back for me, and there is no way back for Babel and Theresia.

I finally understood to some extent that when I asked the doctor how to change Kazdaele, he would give me such an answer. I dare not speculate whether he had expected this day to come.

Demon King, God, I think I know what I should do. 】

[I have no doubts about the Doctor's ability. The Doctor is the one who tilts the balance of power. Without the Doctor, Kazdaele would be a backwater, but he...he is the heaviest weight in the Doctor's hand. 】

------

Although they have not yet reached the level of infected people, it is a recognized fact that the Sakaz people are also being ostracized in modern society, and the degree of ostracism varies from place to place.

This is related to some issues left over from history.

Most Sakaz are somewhat out of touch with the mainstream. They do not understand the changes that have taken place in the outside world of Sakaz. Compared with the ancestors, Sakaz are among the susceptible people. Many Sakaz are infected, so in most cases In people's eyes, Sakaz are actually no different from infected people. They are not good people. Some Sakaz are even demonized due to their unusual habits.

Not having Originium Disease is a blessing and a misfortune for Sarkaz. The same is true for those infected with Originium Disease. After all, Sarkaz is friendly to Originium and generally has excellent Originium. Adaptability and physical strength, when the infected population is large, they are naturally not very resistant to this disease that can improve the adaptability of Origin Stone skills.

This also makes Sarkaz have a mass base that is more suitable for the development of infected people compared to other countries that treat infected people and Originium Disease harshly. Chaos and ignorance make it easier for them to accept what is considered ridiculous in other countries. theory.

After all, they are Sakaz, they are cynical and keep to themselves, and nothing they do will seem strange to others.

June 1087, 5, Crystalline Era.

Chen Mo returned to the Tower of Babel camp, but she was not the only one who came back this time.

When Miss Niyan heard that Chen Mo was going to take her back to the Tower of Babel, she looked shocked at first, then nervous and a little expectant.

"S-Sir, do I want to go with you too?"

Ni Yan asked stammeringly, but his eyes were wandering.

Chen Mo didn't pay much attention to it. In fact, when he tried his ideas and theories in Gelaite, Mud Rock was no longer as reserved and hesitant to speak as in the past.

After deciding to confess to Chen Mo, Ni Yan has now become accustomed to asking Chen Mo when he encounters his own confusions. This has also resulted in Chen Mo's original task load being increased by one-third, and he spends one-third of his time on his adjutant teaching and solving doubts.

However, as a beautiful and even somewhat stupid Sakaz girl, she is at least much more pleasing to the eye than men.

As expected, people still have to look at their face and gender.

"As the deputy military commander of Grai, in the future when I am unable to escape, you may be responsible for contacting the Tower of Babel, so it's best to get familiar with it as soon as possible." Chen Mo said seriously, and gently He patted his adjutant on the shoulder: "Your mission is very heavy, Mud Rock."

"Is that so?" Ni Yan took a deep breath and straightened up: "I understand, sir."

Chen Mo looked at the big man in front of him who was wearing armor all over his body. The thick and tall armor made Chen Mo look a little bloated, so that when Chen Mo stood in front of the armor, he looked thin.

Chen Mo didn't expect that her adjutant would take this seriously. He looked at the off-road vehicle next to him, then at the heavily armed man in front of him, and felt something was blocking his chest.

"Mudstone..."

"Here." The original voice of Miss Mud Rock could no longer be heard under the visor, but the nervousness could still be heard.

"We are going back to report on our work, not to kill people. Aren't you used to it?"

"Ah...but, sir...then, I'll change it back now."

Before Chen Mo could answer, the big man in front of him turned around again and walked back to the camp with heavy steps.

When Mu Yan came back, he had already changed into his usual black military uniform.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, sir." She said apologetically.

"It doesn't matter." Chen Mo put out the cigarette in his hand and pointed at the driver's seat. "Go and drive, let's go."

The car drove onto the streets of Glei. When it came to the lift area, the soldier guarding the lift saluted the two people in the car and opened the exit of the lift platform.

Most of Kazdaele's wilderness is due to the emergence of mobile cities where few obvious roads can be seen. Only in areas with settlement towns can traces of roads carved out by the flow of people be seen.

However, since Grai was on the edge of the entire eastern and western defense line, a simple dirt road was built between the mobile cities in the rear to transport supplies and troops.

Their car hit this road a few hours after leaving Glei.

The Tower of Babel is located in the middle of the entire defense line, close to the direction of Rem Billiton, and southeast of Kazdaele, while Glei is located northwest of the Tower of Babel, at the bottom of the east-west defense line, and is also far away from the Tower of Babel. The shortest distance.

Even so, Grai was still two days' drive from the Tower of Babel.

Because of the existence of mobile cities, the way of war has changed tremendously. It is difficult to achieve huge results and breakthroughs in large-scale legion battles and attacks on important locations with land ships and mobile cities.

Therefore, the way of war had to be demonstrated with the acquiescence of both sides on the defense line with mobile cities as strongholds on both sides. The cities relied on each other to build defense zones.

To put it simply, it was a reversal of history, and the war turned into a siege war. However, the emergence of mobile cities made it possible for siege wars to turn into close-range city-state wars, or in other words, mobile city fortress shooting.

But throughout the war history of Terra, there are only a handful of tragic battles in which mobile cities used naval cannons to fire at each other as siege fortresses. After all, that means that after a war, both mobile cities will be in ruins. , and it is actually difficult for a mobile city to suddenly appear within the detection range of another city without sufficient intelligence and preparation.

After all, the movement speeds of both sides are almost the same, so it is difficult for them to die together.

Because of the existence of mobile cities, the battlefield is changing at any time, and mobile cities will not keep moving all the time, which will consume a lot of energy and losses. This has led to the fact that the current war situation in Kazdaele is actually built on the defense lines of both sides. Within the region, various cities are fighting each other and looking for fighters, which also makes the war situation messy and fragmented, and this also leads to the mobile city itself having a considerable degree of independence and autonomy.

Generally speaking, it is a semi-modern, semi-feudal war with Terran characteristics. This kind of war allows mercenary squads to thrive in the gaps in the civil war battlefields, and also makes small-scale local battles composed of elite troops a modern Mainstream on the Kazdaele battlefield.

Of course, it is limited to internal wars, while externally, it is more suitable for large-scale battlefields in urban clusters.

The Tower of Babel has repelled the offensive forces organized by the Regent more than once. The Black Steel convoy was attacked because it happened to appear on the route explored by the spies, and unfortunately encountered the mercenary group ambushed by the Tresis organization. Blocking a shot for the Tower of Babel, that's why Chen Mo later met the Tower of Babel who had retreated to the route where the Black Steel convoy was attacked. The time when the two sides met was only a few hours apart.

Chen Mo even had some suspicions that Babel actually deliberately guided the Regent's troops to the route of the Black Steel convoy so that Black Steel could become Babel's bait.

But as a prisoner of the Tower of Babel, Chen Mo didn't dare to ask questions at that time. Even if he knew the answer, it would be meaningless. Since the mercenaries profited from Kazdaele's war, they would naturally have to pay a sufficient price, and they had just arrived here. Chen Mo in this area was not familiar with the group of mercenaries in the convoy.

It was in the afternoon when we arrived at the area controlled by the Tower of Babel. We didn’t encounter anything worth mentioning along the way. However, we met refugees and passed through villages and city ruins left over from past wars. Some feelings of the girl.

Niyan asked Chen Mo why this situation occurred, and Chen Mo replied.

"People have reason to hate Sakaz and the infected, Mudrock, when they take to the streets, attack caravans, and wield weapons against others to take away other people's families and lives for the injustice and suffering they themselves have endured. There is a reason to target them because of fear and disgust." When he said this, Chen Mo thought of many almost forgotten memories in his mind.

"Infected people also have reason to do this, because they have to endure this kind of suffering and pain for no reason. Even if they have not committed any evil deeds, they have reason to pursue the life they want, equality, and dignity in life."

In fact, ordinary daily contact is not enough to cause Originium Disease to be transmitted. However, due to the fear and rumors that there is no cure, people always exaggerate it. This is not incomprehensible, and of course it can be forgiven. It is incomprehensible and dismissed. What is forgiven is the discrimination and slander born out of excessive fear.

And these are shared by both sides.

"The scene in Sakaz is a microcosm of this era."

【}

"They are not innocent, and no one is innocent, because the mistakes each person commits will slowly be reflected on his identity, from a small village to a large country or race. Whether they do it intentionally or unintentionally, these Mistakes pile up and get worse, and with a little guidance, they become bargaining chips in the hands of conspirators and victims of power.”

"Then there's no way to change?" Ni Yan asked.

"Yes." Chen Mo retracted his gaze and looked at the ragged flow of refugees: "To change the current situation in Sakaz, we must guide the thoughts of the scattered Sakaz people, give them their due rights and dignity, and correct what happened in the past. It’s difficult to make mistakes because it requires a suitable environment to be created and a long time to erase the prejudices in people’s minds with a new life.”

The vehicle bypassed the direction of the refugees, because both Chen Mo and Ni Yan knew what would happen if they approached. Gelai had received Sakaz civilians seeking refuge more than once, but now, Gelai's size could no longer support them. Accept more people, because Grai cannot provide enough jobs and supplies, but the refugees will cause chaos.

This is the most common sight in Kazdaele, whether it's bodies lying on the roadside or rubble reduced to rubble.

The wars and mercenary battles in various cities in Kazdaele have produced a large number of refugees. Although the intensity of the war is not as serious as in the past,... winter has just passed.

Soon after, Chen Mo and Ni Yan met the reconnaissance team of the Tower of Babel. They were preparing to accept a group of refugees. Just like when Chen Mo had just met Theresia, they led this group of refugees back to the defense area of ​​the Tower of Babel. .

Chapter 1 If you don’t vote and I won’t vote, when will Rooftop come forward?

As Chen Mo said, he cannot promise to change the current situation in Kazdaele, but from Muyan's point of view, compared to the current situation in Kazdaele, no matter what he does, it will not be worse, at least from the perspective of Grai, Muyan Here comes another picture.

Many times, people actually know that this is wrong and that there is a problem in this society. But the biggest problem is not knowing, but finding a way to solve the problem.

Chen Mo thought that if he had appeared during the Republic of China, processed this theory and published it in that era, he might have achieved some amazing results, but that was it. Chen Mo didn't think that even he himself was not clear about some of the theories. The theory can play a decisive role, and he does not think that everyone is a fool.

Chen Mo knew very well what he could achieve, so he told Theresa these theories, just as an introduction. Theresa was more suitable to be the leader.

The current situation in Kazdaele is very similar to the period after 1918. Feudalism fell apart and warlords separated themselves. Various countries and forces cultivated their own war agents on this land. The Sakaz people fell and some Sakaz people disappeared. After traveling abroad, some Sakaz still harbored hopes of changing the country, while others chose to sit back and follow the tide.

The Sakaz people's national rights were humiliated, they were looked down upon, and they had no dignity, and they were used to their own way of life, used to being in rags, and used to being oppressed and ridiculed.

And Chen Mo himself is like a foreigner who came to this land from one of the great powers to grab profits. Due to some changes, he fell into the hands of one of the regimes, and here he gave birth to the purpose of gaining power, and because of the thoughts in his mind The theory casts a spotlight on Sakaz's divisions and poverty.

Askaron was still responsible for the safety and guarding of the Tower of Babel as usual, and Chen Mo still had the identity of Theresia's guard, but in the six months since he left the Tower of Babel for Gray, Askaron had returned to took over his job.

She seemed to have known that Chen Mo would come, so she waited on the way to Theresia's office.

Chen Mo saw her, but ignored her and walked past her.

"You didn't see me?" Askaron suddenly said, Chen Mo had already bypassed Askaron who was standing in the middle of the corridor.

Her words made Chen Mo stop. The dim sunset slanted down the window into the corridor, lengthening the shadows of the two people on the wall.

Over the past year, Chen Mo's black hair had grown past his shoulders and was tied up casually by him.

"I saw it." Chen Mo didn't look back.

"Why don't you stop?"

"You have something to do with me?"

The corners of Askaron's eyes twitched. This is not bullshit. He didn't ask you for something, so why did he block you in front of you.But fortunately, Askaron is a calm person. Even if Chen Mo broke her forehead last time, she just thought it was because of her carelessness.

"I know what you did in Grai, and I also know the theories you told His Highness." Askaron's voice was cold, like a warning. "What is your purpose?"

"So... Askaron, when you investigated my experience in Grai, do you want to tell me that you are watching me and telling me not to do things I shouldn't do?" Chen Mo asked: "But I don't understand, Ah Scarron, what should be done and what shouldn't be done? Instead of focusing on me, you might as well find a few more spies lurking in the Tower of Babel. At least that will make this place better. Sakaz is a little safer.”

"I have only been away from the Tower of Babel for half a year, and you are the first one who dares to speak to me like this."

Askaron's words were slightly hesitant. She was not very familiar with Chen Mo, but Chen Mo now gave her a different feeling. At least these words were not something Chen Mo would say in the past, or maybe, they were just... Scarron didn't know him well enough.

"What gives you such confidence and confidence? Do you think I won't do anything to you because His Highness values ​​you?"

Ascalon thought of the conversation with the doctor, and this was the best possibility she could think of.

"You can easily get rid of me, Askaron, at any time. I am not your opponent, not now. Do you think I might threaten His Highness? Even the slightest possibility is enough for you to take action." Chen Mo knew Askaron. Karen is the one who can do such a thing, but he is not worried: "But I will not give you this opportunity. Investigate Gray and monitor me. That is your job."

"Watch your tone, outsider."

"An outsider? Of course I am an outsider. I always remember my identity." Chen Mo said. He raised his feet and continued walking forward, the sound of footsteps growing [@|

"I always remember that I am not Sakaz, but... Askaron, you Sakaz may have forgotten it."

The footsteps went away.

Askaron turned her head. She looked at Chen Mo's leaving figure, hesitated for a moment, and slightly loosened her hands.

When he saw Theresa again, the chestnut-haired Custer girl sitting in his office couldn't help but catch Chen Mo's eyes.

The child was very young. She was standing in the center of the room, and Theresa was standing behind her. The girl was holding a violin. Theresa seemed to be teaching her something, and she listened very carefully.

Chen Mo came in, and the sound of pushing the door attracted their attention.

"Mr. Chen Mo..." Theresa was a little surprised.

"Your Highness." Chen Mo bowed slightly and looked at the girl in front of Theresia. "This child is..."

"Her name is Amiya." Theresa put her hand on the girl's shoulder: "...it's the child Kelsey brought back from outside. I'm teaching her to play the violin. Maybe I can guide her growth."

Kelsey brought it back.Chen Mo was a little surprised, but Custer was obviously not Kelsey's illegitimate daughter.

Amiya looked at Chen Mo timidly and leaned closer to Theresia.

Chen Mo looked away and didn't pay too much attention.

"I met Askaron at the door. I'm sorry, Your Highness. As your bodyguard, I failed to fulfill my responsibility."
