News of the palace council spread rapidly in the city.
The lord of the valley, the auspiciousness of the kingdom, and the Three Questions True God have greatly aroused the resonance of the people.
Because, when the true God comes, he will bring prophecies of punishment, judgment and disaster.
This first impression is more filled with panic and fear.
There is the lamentation of the old king again——
"I am an old man who has reached the end of his life, but he wants me to fall into the fatigue of a long journey..."
"I believe in her..."
"But if the army of judgment forces me to leave my homeland..."
"I would like to die in the land where I was born and raised!"
When these words floated in the streets of the bustling capital, the people felt a sense of powerlessness as they were trapped in the quagmire.
The monarch of the most powerful kingdom in the world cannot resist the true God, so what about the common people?
When this questioning attitude continues to ferment and amplify, some people will extend to deeper questions——
"Are gods really kind?"
"No, it's not!"
The conflict that arises in people's hearts stands on the opposite side of balance.
Then, another message came from unknown sources saying——
"The eldest prince is about to set off, bringing tributes and treasures to the envoys of the true god in Tadong City, praying for the gods' mercy and forgiveness, and not to bring disasters to us again!"
"This is our only 'hope for survival'."
And at the same time.
In the urban area, the house of Polypoma.
Oyer brought the news back, which immediately made Qiboche furious: "That's nonsense!
"
"How dare he!
"
"This is a sin, this is a great sin! Natzozomok is blaspheming the true God and bringing the true God into disrepute!
"
"False is continuing, covering people's eyes!"
His face turned red with anger, and his eyes were so bloodshot that they bulged out ferociously.
"Sir, please don't be angry. There is no point in getting angry over this!"
Oyer also nodded calmly: "Our power cannot influence the thoughts of the people in the city!"
"There is no news about the 17 people who entered the city yesterday. They are obviously imprisoned, not to mention..."
"Tzozomok is right. When the true God comes, he brings divine punishment, judgment, and prophecies of disaster!"
"We have been living in fear for more than two years!"
"Now, the army of judgment has destroyed Tadong City. Even if the grand scene of Tadong City is as those 17 people said, except for them, who else has witnessed it with their own eyes?"
When Qiboche heard this, he became even more angry: "Oyer, you don't even understand? Our Lord, the True God, sent down divine punishment because we believe in false gods!"
"And you have understood the balanced teachings I have been preaching these days. You should know more clearly that you live in a bad land!"
"Everything owned by the monarch and nobles came from plundering and usurping us!"
"Just like that 'Telcante', didn't he use his power to snatch away your belongings? And what can you do? You can only endure the humiliation!"
Oyer was stabbed in his weak spot and became angry: "Yes, we can't do anything but endure humiliation! So, what do I still believe in your True God of Balance?"
"Since she has seen the soil of sin, why doesn't she purify everything?"
"Let God's punishment destroy all of this, and everyone will be afraid of it. When the sins are eliminated, as you have always said, balance will give everyone the grace of joy and peace. I don't think anyone will disobey her, but
Serve Him wholeheartedly!”
Qi Boche was already furious and grabbed Oye's collar: "Are you also going to disobey the true God?"
Finally, Polyboma could no longer stand by and stepped forward to separate the two men, and shouted to his brother: "Oyer! How can you say such a thing?"
"With the wealth we have acquired, if it weren't for your guidance, we might have been recruited as soldiers now and annihilated in God's punishment. Our survival is all thanks to God's grace!"
When Oyer heard his brother speak, he finally calmed down and muttered: "I just said let's talk about the facts! But I didn't want to blaspheme her! I have promised to go and witness it!"
"Okay." Poliboma pushed the two of them further away, and then looked at Qiboche: "Sir, Tezozomok is the monarch, and we are just for the common people, so we can't fight him!"
"You also said that the fire bearer is walking in the dark night, passing on the fire of balance, so that as many people as possible can be illuminated by balance!"
"We can only do what we can, and then... Oyer and I will accompany you to the Tower Cave, and even embark on the road to redemption to witness the glory of the Kingdom of God."
Qi Boche gradually calmed down his anger after hearing the consolation.
In fact, he also knows.
Even Polyboma and Oyer have doubts in their hearts and do not have a true balance of beliefs.
How can the people of these city-states see the truth after the falsehood and devote their faith?
After a moment, he let out a long sigh, which was the answer to Oyer's question: "You need to know that the true God does not owe us anything. Instead, we committed crimes and punishments because of our belief in false gods. But even so, He also granted merciful redemption.
road.”
"And if people in the world want happiness and peace, they can only go to her. If they don't go to her, how can they get grace and blessings?"
He looked at the high walls of the city-state in the distance——
"On the contrary, if you don't listen to her call, the world will only live in this cage, being enslaved and humiliated!"
"I don't want to talk about this anymore, and there is no need to argue with you two."
"Now Tzozomok has sealed off the city. On the surface, he is begging for forgiveness for the purpose of "worshiping balance," but in fact, he is banning the circulation of his people to expose the falsehood and see the truth!"
"But you are right. With our own strength, we can't do much!"
"But Narawa and his son, I must try to rescue them!"
"Besides, the eldest prince is about to go on a pilgrimage to Tapong City. Now that the news has spread, it cannot be false! You can try to find out the details of the mission's visit..."
"Perhaps this is our opportunity to perfect my plan and help Lava and his son escape. The three of us can also leave Tepanix and return to equilibrium."
Poliboma and Oyer took a deep breath and nodded solemnly: "Okay!"
…
Equilibrium 14, May 15th.
Balance the main city.
The engine research group was established.
Blessed by 500 engines, more than 200 have been assembled, and a large number of drivers receive training every day.
Xiaohua reported to Zhou Li'an: "My Lord, there are 84 vehicles and drivers on duty, 50 of whom form the 'Fuel Transport Team', which replaces the previous horse-drawn carriage transport team and is responsible for transporting fuel from the oil plant area to 6
The mining area of Ayutthaya."
Big City No. 6 is currently the city with the highest industrial attributes in the Balance God.
The excavation of coal mines, iron mines, and sulfur mines never stops, and materials reserves are carried out.
In addition, it is also the residence of the "Steel" and "Gunpowder" research teams.
Previously, heavy machinery such as Zhou Li'an's blessing excavator has been put into use, and the oil is supplied from the oil plant in the San Joaquin Valley.
Almost every day, a convoy of horse-drawn carriages sets off, traveling nearly 400 kilometers to deliver fuel.
The entire trip lasted about 5 days, and after the road from No. 6 Ayutthaya to the main city was opened, it was shortened to 4 days.
And now.
Even though the road in the south has not yet been paved, the entire transportation process can be reduced to one and a half days by taking the original road.
And the carrying capacity must also be increased.
"We plan to build two oil depots outside the main city and No. 6 city. In the future, fuel transportation will be once every half month, and the fuel supply to the two places will be borne by the oil depots."
"The other 34 people drove vehicles and joined the road construction team..."
"It is expected that another 100 people will be put to work by the end of this month."
"I originally planned to complete the road connection of the 10 balanced cities within two years, but now I am confident that the road from the main city to the 10th major city will be connected by the end of the year."
500 three-wheeled motorcycles are responsible for transporting stone and earth materials, and the efficiency has been improved several times.
The No. 10 city is located in Palm Springs, the southernmost city in California.
If you count from Palm Springs to the No. 6 city of Sparks, the total distance is about 800 kilometers.
At present, 250 kilometers of road construction have been completed, and the remaining length is allocated to be completed in half a year. In fact, the daily completion workload is only 3 kilometers.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that it will be completed by the end of the year, and it may even be completed ahead of schedule.
After all, this is not concrete or asphalt paving.
It only meets the standard if it only guarantees the traffic needs of tricycles and horse-drawn carriages.
"Early next year, the road can be extended to No. 11 City, with a total length of 400 kilometers. It can be completed by mid-April 2015."
"The next step is to see the progress of the Judgment Crusade!"
"I plan to establish the 13th city in Region 9 to lay the foundation for future road construction."
Region 9 is New Mexico.
From Arizona to Texas, you need to pass through New Mexico, so it is necessary to establish a new city in this region.
When Xiaohua finished speaking, everyone in the temple was excited.
The roads in the 10 cities of the Kingdom of God are 800 kilometers, and then to the 11th city, Hohokam, it is another 400 kilometers, for a total of 1,200 kilometers.
How many kilometers was the "salt road" originally planned to be built?
Less than 1,000 kilometers!
Now, the equilibrium has exceeded this goal.
The Great Elder and others praised: "Praise our Lord, praise the balance, this is a miracle of your grace and blessing!"
"Now we just wait for the people of the city-state alliance to surrender and migrate here!"
That's where the words end.
A cold snort came from the high platform.
Everyone looked up in shock, only to see the witch's expression was cold.
However, Wu did not explain this, and when everyone saw that our Lord's expression was calm and smiling, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon after the small interlude, everyone dispersed.
The Great Elder and Xiao Hua walked side by side and couldn't help but said: "Chief, the look on the witch just now, could it be that there is a trial campaign and the war situation has changed?"
"You are always at the knees of my lord and the shaman. Maybe you know something?"
But seeing Xiao Hua also looking confused, she finally said: "Even if I know it, without my Lord's will, I must not reveal the military information, lest it gets out and unsettles the hearts of the people of the Kingdom of God."
When the army of judgment goes out to fight, there can only be one result, and that is triumph.
Once something goes wrong, even if the cavalry army is not lost, it will have a huge blow to the rising morale of the Kingdom of God, and the sense of faith will be shattered.
The Great Elder nodded: "Indeed, but judging from the expression on the witch's face, the trial may be very difficult."
Xiaohua laughed it off: "The difficulties are certain, but I believe that the presiding judge and cow shit will defend the country!"
"What's more, we should firmly believe in the glory of balance!"
The great elder just mentioned it casually, without too much worry in his heart. At this time, he uttered a burst of praise: "Praise my Lord, and hope that the balanced glory will protect her people."
Behind the two of them, inside the temple.
The snow girl frowned and said: "Master, since they don't want to come, then let them wait for the disaster to come. Why bother anymore?"
"You cast your kind gaze, but what you got in return was abandonment and alienation!"
"Master, I am so angry that I can't calm down."
Of course the snow girl doesn't know about the city-state alliance.
Zhou Li'an told her about the trends of the city-state alliance.
In fact, it is a subject that broadens the horizons of thinking.
[Eye of the Void] arrives.
Zhou Li'an was well aware of the changes in the capital of Tepanix.
Although he didn't happen to see the palace council, he learned about the situation from the discussions of the people in the city.
Tzozomok deserves to be the lord who has held the valley for decades.
Later generations' evaluation and description of him can only be described in one sentence -
The old king passed away, and the struggle for the throne caused chaos in the kingdom.
Chimal Popoca, the Aztec ruler at the time, was assassinated for participating in the struggle to support the royal power. Therefore, the "Three Cities Alliance" was established to destroy the Tepanix State and replace it.
And now.
The old king actually started a public opinion war with Zhou Li'an.
Zhou Li'an wanted the people of the south to surrender willingly, so he ordered the army of judgment to stop fighting in Tadong. After that, he only had to wait for the news of Tadong City to come out...
On the one hand, the citizens of each city-state can voluntarily vote.
On the other hand, the kings of various city-states were in disarray. Once they used strong methods to suppress them, they would inevitably encounter rebellion.
When the people hold high the flag of righteousness, the army of judgment will also have the name of "taking action".
However, Zhou Li'an didn't expect that Tzuzomok would come up with countermeasures as soon as the people from Tadong City entered the city.
Arrest those seventeen people and order all countries to continue blocking the news of Tapong City.
This is understandable.
The key lies in the "Three Questions to the True God."
Ask the true God why he sends judgment instead of blessing.
Some people may remember that this was a crime committed by people believing in false gods, but Tzozomok also said...
We already have a balanced belief, but the true God still wants to judge us. So is the true God merciful?
Furthermore, he won the hearts of the people with his extraordinary longevity. The longevity of the old king was a blessing to the kingdom, but if he embarked on the road of migration, wouldn't it mean that he would die?
The people will also resist, why should they stay away from their homeland!
As for the fact that one can find joy and peace by going to the kingdom of God, but those who originally wanted to spread the doctrine of balance were arrested, and this point was ignored.
Not to mention...
The definition of judgment was also dealt with by Tezozo Mokmo Lake.
Everyone in Tapdong City now knows that trials are only for nobles and people who have done evil things.
In a slave society, it was mostly the nobles who oppressed, plundered, and killed people. The common people did not even have enough to eat, so how could they have the energy to do evil?
But now everyone understands that everyone will be judged.
Tezozomok only needs to ensure that Tadong City's "blessing grace" is not known to the people and increase their fear.
The opposite of the world and balance is formed!
As for the army of judgment moving south at this time, the people of each city-state obviously supported their monarch.
Balance, on the other hand, becomes an outright aggressor.
Furthermore.
The will of the true God has been issued, and the army of judgment will stop at the Tower Cave. This matter cannot be changed.
Otherwise, wouldn't balancing the oracle become child's play?
Perhaps, it was because of this that he, Tezozomok, dared to walk all the way to the dark side and give it a try.
And even if the true god "goes against his word", it doesn't matter to him.
Nearly a hundred years old, he has been part of the royal family of Tepanix since his birth, and later sat on the throne of the Lord of the Valley for decades.
He is satisfied.
If the army of judgment is really coming, he would rather coerce all his people and fight against it...
The worst case scenario is that they will be destroyed together!
Rather than the collapse of the throne, the collapse of a lifetime of faith.
Xue Nu was indignant about all this, but Zhou Li'an only found it interesting...
What's the point of pushing forward all the way? If nuclear bombs are developed in the future, if each of the seven countries loses one, won't everything be fine?
So what Zhou Li'an wants is not to push the crystal quickly, but to enjoy the joy of pulling and fighting.
Returning to the city-state alliance is just a test of balance.
In the future, competition between countries will be the norm.
Balance must not only crush, but also win the fate of righteousness, not to mention the joy of conquest.
Just like the army of judgment breaks through the tower cave...
Everyone thought I was going south, but alas...I stopped moving, just playing!
In this way, the old king had hope and dared to play his cards to the extreme to survive.
"Snow Girl, you must know that the city-state alliance is only the first step towards spreading balanced glory to the world!"
"The world is blinded by the falsehood of sin and cannot see balance in the blink of an eye..."
"If you let them go because of this, the world will live in suffering without salvation!"
The snow girl listened to the instruction and showed confusion: "But the master once said that only those who move towards balance are the people of Balance! If you are obsessed with sin and abandon Balance, you will also be betrayed by Balance..."
"And the army of judgment is subject to your divine decree to stop the war in Tadong! The monarch of the city-state will be in seclusion again. How can the world see the glory of Balance?"
