Due to the influence of the previous bell, the fighting outside the Senate was temporarily stopped.
From here to the Hope Square, the citizens and the soldiers of the city defense army stood there in a daze, as if they had not recovered from their previous state.
Apart from the instinctive groans of the wounded, the area was so quiet that even the movement of the wind could be heard.
Gaius didn't give them a chance to fall back into madness. He took the microphone and shouted loudly:
"Citizens and soldiers, the elder Varro colluded with the 'Salvation Army' and the 'Anti-Intellectualism' to control the Archons and try to purge us elders who were on your side.
"Fortunately, Zhi Sui Bless, the heroic soul of the founders of 'First City', your timely demonstration made them go wrong and gave us a chance.
"Now that they have been killed or controlled, the sun reappears over the first city!"
While the new consul announced this to the citizens and soldiers, one of his most trusted reformist elders, with two followers, walked up the stairs to the dungeon attached to the Senate.
Varro was imprisoned there.
He should have committed suicide.
Hearing Gaius' words, the assembled citizens finally remembered what they were doing and what they were going to do.
They cheered.
In stark contrast to them, the members of the Second Guard in different positions outside the Senate.
Some of them turned pale, some trembled uncontrollably, and some tensed up.
Gaius did not give the citizens a chance to play freely, fearing that they would take advantage of the situation to make more excessive and drastic demands, he said directly:
"I have been elected consul by the surviving elders.
"I will lead those who are willing to contribute to the citizens, check the property of the traitors, and return the fields you lost to you!"
No need for another language, most of the citizens shouted excitedly:
"Gaius!"
"Gaius!"
"Gaius!"
Inspector Alexander frowned.
It reminded him of things from his youth:
Aure, the former consul, also received such enthusiastic support from citizens and soldiers.
Alexander stood behind the window at a distance from Gaius and cast his eyes outside.
Those excited faces and those wild eyes made him seem to have returned to the past.
As his eyes moved, Alexander saw his dazed daughter, and saw Zenaga lying in a pool of blood whose life and death were unknown.
He hurriedly turned his head to his entourage and guards and said:
"Go and heal Master Zenaga."
He has a close relationship with the "Crystal Consciousness Cult".
Although he had awakened his abilities in the corresponding field before he believed in "Bodhi", since he had such a good reason, he would definitely not miss the opportunity to establish a strong relationship with "Crystal Consciousness Cult".
"Your Excellency Inspector, will going out now cause a riot?" Alexander's entourage asked worriedly.
The current situation is only temporarily calmed down, and it seems to be very fragile. Once an accident occurs, the smoke of gunpowder is likely to rise again.
Alexander fell silent and turned his attention to Gaius.
Whether the situation can be stabilized and order can be restored next, the performance of the new consul is very important.
Alexander hesitated, and out of the corner of his eye he saw his daughter walking towards Zenaga.
The people around ignored the scene, as if no one existed there.
Phew... Alexander breathed a sigh of relief and said to the entourage and guard:
"You can wait a little longer and get your first aid kit ready."
In the Senate, these things are in reserve.
At this time, Gaius made a further promise:
"When the influence of the traitors has been eliminated, and when the fields returned to you are harvested again, we will continue to expand outward and use the guns of the 'First City' to open up more land for the citizens of the 'First City'!"
While the citizens cheered, Gaius glanced at the members of the sub-human guards who were standing or lying around, and before someone proposed to clear these aliens, he pressed his palm down and announced loudly:
"All those who rely on traitors and help traitors will be arrested and given a fair trial!
"I will give them a chance among them who have done less evil and are willing to repent.
"Those who are full of sins among them, or those who are unwilling to repent, I will send them to see Zhi Sui!
"Okay, citizens, you can go back, wait for your fields and jobs, and leave the arrest of criminals to the brothers and sisters of the city defense army.
"You saw it just now, they are on your side!"
At this time, the citizens have not had time to taste the sweetness of this kind of action, and they are not swollen or arrogant. Since they have obtained Gaius's promise and achieved their goals, they are all willing to do something for the "prime city" to restore order to their hometown. contribution.
They responded to the call and retreated in the direction of Hope Square, leaving in batches.
Of course, this is not the case for everyone. Some citizens stayed and looked for their relatives whose lives and deaths were unknown.
Gaius turned to the city defense and ordered:
"Divided into three groups, one group rescues the wounded and clears the square, one group sends these subhumans to the dungeon and awaits trial, and one group goes to various places in the city to inform your colleagues, and I will give you a list, which must be cleared. traitor."
This includes at least two awakeners at the level of 'Spiritual Corridor'. They are a great hidden danger to the subsequent stability, and Gaius will not allow them to surrender.
Hearing Gaius' words, the eyes of the surviving members of the Second Guard were instantly filled with blood.
They want to resist, want to kill a bloody path, but thinking that there are innumerable "spiritual corridor" level Awakeners here, there is another burst of despair and no courage.
If you fight now, you will definitely die. If you wait a little longer, you may still have a chance.
A soldier of the city defense army entered the senate, and with the help of the guards of the surviving elders, tied and tortured a member of the rank person guard.
With bulging eyes, Moll, who looked like a monster, lowered his head and was escorted to the dungeon on the lower level of the Senate with a trembling body.
He's not too afraid of death, most of the people he met when he was a child didn't live to his current age.
He just thought of his own children, the youngest of whom had just learned to walk, and babbled very much. Every night before going to bed, he would talk to Moore or his wife for half an hour. At that time, she was always talking in a mess, and the two adults just smiled and echoed a few words.
There seems to be a scene in front of Moore:
The gate of the community was blasted open by the citizens of the original city. Those people turned into thugs and rushed in, not only smashing, looting, burning, but also not letting anyone down.
They would slam children to the ground and sell some of them to slave traders.
The thought that his children might endure such pain, crying and shouting but no one listens, and thinking that they will be sent to the mine, sent to the factory, working day and night, Moore's heart hurts badly .
He walked more and more slowly, and suddenly, he twisted his body and knelt down toward Gaius.
"Your Excellency, please spare us!
"We just follow orders from above!
"I, I am willing to be your slave!"
More, a young man, had tears and snot on his face at some point.
When the other people saw this, they knelt down, hoping to exchange the safety of their family members by becoming a veteran slave.
Gaius pondered for a while and said:
"You will get a fair trial.
"Maybe there will be an opportunity to offset sin with merit."
After speaking, he ignored these inferiors and turned his attention to the Golden Apple District.
Next, he wants to have a good chat with those who support him, and those who have returned from the "new world".
He believes that in the current situation, the promise of guaranteed vested interests can be exchanged for enough kindness.
…
Golden Apple District, 9 Emperor Street.
Assus received a call.
The voice on the other end of the phone was very fast, and he hung up after only a few words.
But Assus seemed to have fallen into a nightmare.
Father suddenly got "innocent disease"... Conservative elders were eliminated most of them... Gaius became the new consul... The city defense army was about to clear out the "traitors" accomplices... Assus shuddered suddenly and rushed in. Home secret room.
He brought some hard currency and useful items accumulated over the years, quickly left the villa, went straight to the garage, and got into a bulletproof black sedan.
The trunk of the sedan contains some weapons and ammunition, as well as a latest model military exoskeleton.
During this process, Assus never thought to inform the housekeeper, servants and bodyguards.
Those servants sensed the anomaly and hid far away, so that when Assus drove out of the consul's mansion, all they saw was deserted, and inexplicably felt a bit rundown.
…
Jeeps from "Old Tune Group" are on their way out of the Golden Apple.
Shang Jianyao suddenly said:
"Lao Ge should like this harvest very much."
