Chapter 19.25 (Part 1) Extracting souls and making a big sacrifice.
The time goes back to a month ago, May 15th, in the northern continent of Wanlun Continent. It was also the hottest stage of industry in the contemporary collision of old and new.
In the Anglo capital, the streets were much emptier. There were fewer people due to the demonic disaster, and the buses were much deserted. However, there were only a lot more black cars and motorcycle guards. In the Imperial Parliament, the cigar-smoking senators were now
A serious discussion of the current situation.
At this time, the "Holy Order Alliance" (as the Anglo colonial conservatives call themselves) does not have an advantage on either the southern or northern fronts. In the battle between the eastern front and Osima, the heavy armored coalition forces of Ver and Anglo, in the Battle of Medog
Afterwards, it continued to be consumed, and it was already at the end of its strength.
Now after the Battle of Tuomu Plains, Iron Star has extended its artillery bombardment to the west bank of the Lion River. The two-hundred-mm-caliber super-barreled artillery dragged by Osima's assault armored regiment has already knocked the shells into the permanent fortifications of the Hamburg Fortress.
superior.
In the latest active attack ordered by Boma, both flanks of Ver's main army were simultaneously penetrated and surrounded by Iron Star's aerial and aerial armored forces.
As for the air and space battle group sent by the Anglo side, well, it was highly anticipated at first, but in the air battle, it was beaten to a 20:1 phobia.
The number one general of Osimar Iron Star is only twenty years old. He truly dominates the heroes in the sky.
The Anglo side sent out an air force. Fenzheng led the team and was defeated three times in less than ten days. Of the three air force groups, only two or three escaped. After the front-line air airport was built, the front-line air force took off.
It was discovered within half an hour and was swept away by missiles.
If Fen Zheng hadn't covered up his tracks in time and retreated when he was defeated from the front line, and the Holy Great Wall had no interest in pursuing it in order to cover the ground operations, Fen Zheng would have crashed several times.
On the other hand, it also shows that the Great Wall did not pay attention to Fen Zheng, who was only one year younger.
Countless steel melted, and the war situation in the north made the family that had been prominent for hundreds or even thousands of years worried.
…Under the rule of gods, mortals only have immediate worries and no long-term worries.…
Therefore, the small situation in the Southern Old Continent was not discussed at the meeting at all. Even at this time, Yunli's life and death were unknown, and Qiangli was determined to use the "power of the undead". How many thousands of people would die from evil? It was just a number.
At this time, the reports of Endeavor's request for additional troops in the south were also piled at the bottom. In Anglo's view, as long as the problem in the north was solved and they returned to the old continent in the south, everything would be within reach.
Now all the questions are whether they can overwhelm the Iron Star camp, and whether Osima and the Sky Alliance, as well as their Vern allies, are "reliable" in this war?
Now the Verne ambassador has reached the latest wartime industrial alliance agreement with the Anglo Army. This agreement involves alliances in multiple industries such as coal and iron.
The marshal of the Imperial Navy Group slapped his pipe on the table, severely reprimanded the document sent by the Provisional Government, and reprimanded: "This is traitorous."
Now Vers is asking the Anglo to use all their fleets to open a second battlefield in the Bohai Sea.
This is a plan to sacrifice one's life to save one's fleet, but as the Anglo-Navy navy that maintains colonial ties around the world, why should we take this risk?
No one knows how powerful the Iron Star's aviation and ballistic missile strike forces are today. Moreover, Anglo intelligence has determined that the Iron Star's aviation capital ship 'Broad', which can take off and land the Dragon Guard Squadron, is conducting large-scale maneuvers in the Northern Ocean.
Tactical navigation.
Once the maritime adventure plan approved by the provisional government is implemented, Ver's heavy armored forces will be able to withdraw, but the elite of the Anglo will be unable to recover. What will be done to maintain order in the colony?
In the Anglo Parliament, these coastal factions did not shy away from expressing their dissatisfaction with Ver: Ver's ambitions have expanded and he will pay the price sooner or later.
However, the Speaker of the Parliament reminded that the naval faction had better take a look at the situation now.
At this time, the Anglo industrial power was more or less embedded in Ver's capital after the disaster of the Devil's Rebellion.
Ver also sent troops to "protect" these important military assets against evil from enemies.
Most members of the Anglo-land Parliament advanced and retreated with Ver, but on the colonial sea power side, they were at a distance from Ver.
If it weren't for the fact that the colonies were also in chaos now, the Anglo-Sea Power faction would have stayed away from this land war. They quietly transferred their industries overseas, and then began to rely on the colonial supply capabilities to sell strategic materials to "neutral" parties.
(Just like the operation of American imperialism in World War II.)
Of course, the reason why the old-line Anglo politicians deny the right-wingers' strategy of "glorious independence" is because the current time is not suitable and they should continue to do so.
At this time, the most precious resources after the demonic disaster are not only the army, industry, but also the hearts and minds of the people. The people of England are at the most serious moment in hundreds of years.
At this time, Iron Star's hope for victory is pinned on the current broad ideology of fairness. On Ver's side, it is the idea of "freedom", but in fact it is an ideology for the interests of the big bourgeoisie.
As for the feudal military group like the Anglo Sea Power, the legal system is actually the divine power. When the evil disaster came, the desperate thought of "God has abandoned us" generally appeared in the Anglo.
After losing "people's hearts" and "confidence", the Anglo-conservatives are in urgent need of the driving force that can enable their faction to take collective action.
..."Religion" is a technique to gather "people's hearts" and maintain the "driving force for collective action". This technique is like a stimulant. The effect of the medicine is so good that most superficial civilizations take it regardless of the sequelae.
…
On May 21st, when the "Holy Order" has begun to envelope the entire Anglo-American community, even breakfast in an ordinary canteen must strictly abide by the sacrament consciousness.
The bosses of the Anglo Navy came together to the secret underground base in the new capital.
There are a large number of "crystal materials" with high information density in this base. These are high-magic crystal stones from the Magic Age, and now they have become special materials in the Science Age.
There are a large number of nuclear power plants in the base to supply energy. The current is passed into the supercomputer made of these precious materials to accumulate "computing power", like a water pump, extracting pure "holy power" from the sky. Oh, that is what time travelers use in this world.
The "information enthalpy".
During the temple ceremony, Sherry, as one of the persons in charge, was using a golden brush to draw a magic circle for the sacred object.
Small details: This is obviously a magic circle that summons the Holy Spirit. Everyone was devoting their spiritual power during the drawing process, but a thin thread in the magic circle flowed into her body like a trickle. Sherry discovered this
A little, but she didn't dare to say it, because now Anglo wants to summon the saint, but it's not her.
...In the words of the 21st century, if you are recognized as the reincarnation, you are the one. If you are not recognized, you should not say "you are"...
On the underground altar, like the mouth of a golden cup, huge conceptual power is being compressed. In the huge accumulation, a space distortion is formed that is comparable to the ignition of a star. A body structure is being printed in the void, which is the divine body.
Religious belief has always been the driving force behind Anglo navigation. As early as the sailing battleship era, when you looked at the empty sea around you and the land was far away, and when there was plenty of food, you might raise a cat.
To adjust, when food and water begin to be scarce and rationing begins, if you want to avoid falling into cannibalism, you must think that your side still needs a saint to lead everyone forward.
This is also the case now. When maritime factions like the Anglo become more and more embarrassed, their faith becomes more and more pure, hoping that a leader will emerge.
And this kind of faith just echoes the interference of the gods in the world at this time.
At this time, this world was full of unruly people from the Iron Star, which also made the gods increasingly dissatisfied.
...gods need a plane that they cannot understand, make a major mistake, and then destroy it. Now Anglo is doing it to give the gods a reason to "abandon" the world...
Beside the altar, the Anglo-Marshal's thoughts were connected with the Holy Spirit of the summoning array. Suddenly, he felt as if he was immersed in the sea, and then he saw the extremely bright thing across the seabed with increasing pressure, but
A very distant existence.
God: "You came to me this time because the outcome of the battle in Windwhisper City is about to be decided, right?"
The marshal, who was bathed in the "sacred" light from top to bottom, nodded, acquiescing to this answer, and then said: "Carus (Saint), you said, God is testing us~" His tone was hesitant, because now
In the war, he was embarrassed to think that his side performed well.
Sage: "God believes that this is in line with your usual level."
The Anglo generals didn't know how to answer. The Anglo generals had a good hand, but in a few years they suddenly became like this.
God must be dissatisfied. But these Anglo people will not ask openly.
…Carrus is not a saint, but a world-destroying angel.…
In the four catastrophes of the Apocalypse, strife, war, and plague have all come to this world. Narrator: Fenzheng, Lance, and Endeavor themselves did not feel it, but they have been placed in their positions as chess pieces.
And the last one is Carus. Unlike Finzheng, Lance, and Endeavor, who know nothing about their position, Carus, the "agent of the apocalypse," has a clear consciousness and knows what he wants to do.
This underground altar for summoning Karus is 666 meters underground, directly above the slums of the Anglo-grey city. Due to the food supply problems caused by the war, there are now garbage holes in the slums, and many poor people have begun to
Catching mice.
However, the Anglo-Saxon newspapers only advertised affectionately: Iron Starism has committed numerous crimes throughout the Wanlun Continent and persecuted people who yearn for liberal values.
However, it is very ironic that the Anglo looks like a god and accepts the rich people of the Southern Continent who were "persecuted" after the Saturn revolution. Then these nobles of the cultural class in the Southern Continent, after escaping from the claws of the Saturn-controlled areas, found themselves in the Anglo "
Inspired by the charm of "religion", he "voluntarily" dedicated his property to the free Anglo.
These "proprietors" from the Old South are living a "happy life" in the lower-class areas of the Anglo-Saxon society by "repairing water pipes" and "cleaning up garbage."
But now, as this super war spreads across the northern and southern continents, food supply problems arise, and these immigrants in the southern and old continents who yearn for "civilization" have become a "security problem" in the eyes of the Anglo rulers.
The rulers of Anglo "civilization" are picking up silver table knives and carefully cutting steaks while discussing how to properly handle these "problem immigrants".
