Zhou Jiuya hurriedly gave the general information and left. He was very busy now. Not only did he have to prepare for the upcoming war, but he also had to calm the turbulent and chaotic military spirit.
Although these people knew that the Huo Chao was fake, too many people didn't know that. After all, it was the Phantom God Cult that took action. When they saw the video for the first time, even Zhou Jiuya almost thought that it was the real Huo Chao who was resurrected.
Seeing Zhou Jiuya leaving, Huo Xianfeng did not act in a hurry.
He opened the video again and watched it carefully from beginning to end. In fact, it was not a video, but a live broadcast. This kind of live broadcast is very special because it cannot be faked by projection technology, which is why so many people are convinced.
Huo Xianfeng didn't expect that in just half a month, the other party had made the clone look like an adult.
If the effect of Setlin's video more than two months ago was just a stone thrown into a stream, then Huo Chao's resurrection was like a meteorite falling into a lake. It is no exaggeration to say that the impact it caused was a catastrophic tsunami.
Because the savior who was deified said in front of everyone that their emperor was actually a thief and a traitor.
"The ark that was used to transfer the survivors was secretly built by the Alliance Council and His Holiness the Pope. However, the situation was too critical at the time, and I didn't expect that he would steal it."
"If Pei Changyun hadn't attracted the Zerg in advance, Skynet would have been completed in time, our hometown would not have become a wasteland, our relatives would not have died miserably, and we would not have been exiled to an alien planet..."
"I trusted him too much at the time, but I didn't expect that the Dawn Legion that I founded and the countless efforts and sacrifices made by the heroes for the democracy, peace and freedom of the alliance would become the breeding ground for him to start his own dictatorship."
"… "
Huo Chao's appearance lasted only half an hour, and then the Alliance Speaker Setlin took over the microphone and began to speak continuously.
He revealed the fact that Huo Chao was from the Phantom God Cult, saying that he was the Pope's favorite adopted son, and that he joined the army for the sake of peace in the alliance, but did not want to rely on the power of the church, so he concealed his identity.
Pei Changyun already knew this, so he approached him on purpose.
"That despicable thief even stole the forbidden abyss that the church had worked so hard to repair, and gave it to the Zerg as a bargaining chip."
In addition, after so long, Pei Changyun did not make any positive and effective explanation for the scene of the First Legion and the Zerg jointly invading Mingcheng. This matter was brought up again and used as strong evidence.
Moreover, they also produced a lot of evidence from that year, which were indeed true, such as the origins of Huo Chao and Pei Changyun, the fact that Skynet was indeed not completed, and the fact that the life-saving Ark was indeed jointly manufactured by the Illusion God Cult and the Alliance's factory.
Every word in this live broadcast was obviously carefully polished, seven parts true and three parts false, and every word seemed to correspond to the facts that had happened, but every word was misleading, erasing all the efforts and dedication that Pei Changyun had made in the past three hundred years, and at the same time clearing the alliance's top leaders and the Phantom God Cult of all charges.
I have to say that this move by the Phantom God Cult is really, really insidious, and also very deadly.
"This is just... bullshit!"
Seeing the end, Jiang Ci couldn't help but curse. At this time, Huo Xianfeng paused the video and sneered.
“If you want to accuse someone of something, you can always find a pretext.”
The battles and fights he had experienced were all direct physical fights. But this time was different, because the opponent was a soft knife.
"Now Pei Changyun's most trusted confidants and the people closest to him are almost all the most loyal followers of Huo Chao. Therefore, this move by the Illusion God Cult is almost a fatal blow to him."
After all, Marshal Huo Chao's prestige was unmatched back then. Even before the Zerg invasion, he was a hero who had gone through ten years of war and single-handedly quelled the rebellion of the entire alliance.
Huo Chao killed many corrupt officials who had harmed Ye Shu's family and nobles who didn't treat people as human beings. At that time, he almost won the love of the people of the entire alliance, which was one of the important reasons why Huo Chao directly left the alliance and the latter still didn't dare to touch him.
Jiang Ci closed his eyes. He knew of course how dangerous this move was. He was not only annoyed by the slander, but also hated the fact that they seemed to have no way out now.
Huo Xianfeng turned off the video and entered the forbidden abyss.
"Let's go—"
Jiang Ci was stunned: "Where to?"
Jiang Ci saw the answer to this question with her own eyes five minutes later.
At this moment, Zhou Jiuya was trying to appease the troops in the center of the First Legion's base. After all, the video just now did not only cause a storm in the empire, but the most intense reaction was of course from the First Legion, because most of the people here were veterans of the Dawn Legion.
So Zhou Jiuya gathered everyone together, including the large number of academicians who had been squatting in the central temple. The legion commander was giving a soothing speech, but it was obviously not very effective. Ye Shu was standing next to them, and he seemed to be planning to say something.
At this moment, a huge buzzing sound came from overhead. Everyone looked up and saw the majestic 3S mecha approaching rapidly, and then landed with a bang.
The violent shaking was like an 8.0 magnitude earthquake. Almost everyone was knocked down, and the excitement just now disappeared completely in an instant.
Then, a familiar and majestic electronic voice came from the huge mecha giant—
"Long time no see, everyone."
Zhou Jiuya was stunned.
No, not just him, but at this moment, everyone was stunned.
This was the first time that the First Legion truly saw the Forbidden Abyss reappear, because when they entered Mingcheng, the Forbidden Abyss was buried underground by the Zerg, and later, it stayed in the Central Temple.
In a sense, the existence of Jinyuan represents the Huo Dynasty.
Then, with everyone's eyes almost filled with tears, Jin Yuan knelt on one knee, put one hand across his chest, and opened the cockpit. But the person who came out was no longer Huo Chao, but Huo Xianfeng.
Countless blue lights shot out from Jin Yuan's chest, then scanned Huo Xianfeng's figure and projected it higher up.
At this moment, the Zerg king stood in the palm of the forbidden abyss, with his arms clasped across his chest, looking down on everyone with a condescending attitude.
"I don't think there's any need to explain, but the way you guys are fooled by the enemy... Tsk!"
Huo Xianfeng frowned, his expression didn't change much, but it made people feel extremely disgusted.
"I'm afraid that idiot Huo Chao will get so angry when he sees his subordinates like this that he'll crawl up from the ground and hug my legs and cry until he wipes his nose, so I'm still reluctant to say a few words."
At this moment, even his slight "tsk" was infinitely amplified by Jinyuan's loudspeaker and was clearly heard by everyone.
Ye Shu: “…”
Zhou Jiuya: “…”
First Legion: “…”
Jiang Ci covered her forehead.
Ah, this familiar annoying tone, it turns out that Huo Xianfeng is back.
Huo Xianfeng seldom explains to others, let alone irrelevant people. When Pei Changyun was attacked by Setlin before, he just glanced at him at most and waited for the other party to solve the problem himself.
But now it is obviously not possible. The war has already begun, and Huo Xianfeng does not need an ally who will only hold him back.
"The Zerg entered the Earth not to invade, but to seek revenge. Their specific target of revenge was the Phantom God Cult, because they used the Zerg for prohibited experiments. The others were just incidental. As for Pei Changyun's deliberate approach to Huo Chao, that's bullshit!"
In front of everyone, Huo Xianfeng mercilessly stripped off his stupid friend's last underwear.
"If you want evidence, go find Huo Chao's Xingbo account. His ID..."
Huo Xianfeng found it difficult to utter the shameful name, but as things had come to this point, he turned his head away, seeming to feel very ashamed, but still spoke it clearly.
"His ID is Xiao Yunyun. Why didn't he pay attention to me today? As for other things, you can search for them yourself."
"… "
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole scene fell silent.
Xingbo is still running now, because it is not an official government product, but a commercial network application, which is more entertaining, but it requires real-name authentication and IP positioning, so it is not impossible for someone familiar with it to dig out the identity.
Everyone thought that the Alliance Marshal was majestic and cold, and was devoted to the great cause of peace, and would not be exposed to such entertainment things, so no one knew his smurf account, including his trusted subordinates, and even Pei Changyun, no one knew.
Of course, except Huo Xianfeng.
Zhou Jiuya was shocked. He stood there in a daze, his mind was blank. Although he knew that there was something fishy between Huo Chao and Pei Changyun, but, that ID was really...
—Is Marshal Huo Chao’s personality like this? ! ! !
"The leaves are sparse..."
Zhou Jiuya turned around, wanting to find a friend to share his shock, but as soon as he turned around, he saw Ye Shu had already started frantically browsing the idol's secondary account's Weibo.
Zhou Jiuya: “…”
The legion commander hesitated for a moment, then leaned over to take a look. Then his eyes were stung by the burning sensation, and he quickly turned his head and covered his face with one hand.
No!
That's an illusion!
That must not be the Marshal he follows!!!
Of course Huo Xianfeng didn’t say that before meeting Pei Changyun, Huo Chao’s ID was Wang’s dear friend.
Very childish, very disgusting, and unbearable to watch.
"at last-"
Huo Xianfeng's voice brought the stunned crowd back to their senses.
"I think that unless the previous owner takes the initiative to transfer the control authority of S-level mechas and above, the internal program AI must be reset and formatted before it can be handed over to the next person. I think you should have noticed this common sense a long time ago?"
No, not at all. Everyone's attention was focused on the resurrected Marshal.
"Your emperor has declared war on them, but the so-called strongest legion in the empire is still fighting among itself. I really don't know how the Huo Dynasty could have brought out such a bunch of traitors. All their brains combined can't even handle half an hour of their verbal attacks."
At this, he sneered.
"Oh, calling you cannon fodder is an exaggeration. Pei Changyun has raised you for three hundred years. He is really kind-hearted. It would be better to burn all the military funds he has given you over the years. Maybe praying to some gods or Buddhas for blessings will be better than you."
"… "
At this moment, Zhou Jiuya suddenly felt that Huo Xianfeng had been too gentle to him before. When Marshal Huo Chao led his army to leave the alliance, there were also internal turmoil, and he also carried out appeasement and suppression, but it was all majestic but gentle.
No one has ever started out by making a big mockery right from the start.
But Huo Xianfeng not only scolded everyone, but also made no one dare to talk back.
The First Legion was reorganized from the Dawn Legion and had experienced countless wars. They were the most glorious in the hearts of themselves and all the people of the empire. But now they were being ridiculed and mocked, but they could not refute it.
For a moment, everyone fell silent, their faces turned red and white, and they were so ashamed that they wanted to crawl into the ground.
Some people wanted to ask more questions, but these few sentences were the limit for Huo Xianfeng. This was what he didn't like about humans. Most people's brains were just like decorations and were too easily incited.
Not as good as their Chong Chong, who is loyal and obedient.
Huo Xianfeng finished what he needed to say, turned around and walked into the cockpit.
"Jinyuan, now that we have finished talking, let's go back. Then send a copy of the video to Pei Changyun and let him decide whether to use it as a counterattack."
"yes."
Jin Yuan responded respectfully.
Huo Xianfeng thought about his performance just now and felt that it was not bad. His handsomeness score could barely be 99. The one point missing was due to Huo Chao's disgusting ID.
Wang, who was in the courtship period, walked in, intending to meet his wife's admiring gaze. But there was no admiring gaze, because when Huo Xianfeng walked in, he found Jiang Ci sitting cross-legged on the passenger seat, holding an electronic board, and frantically flipping through Huo Chao's dark history, and even the whole person was embarrassed to the point of twisting into a maggot.
When Jiang Ci heard Huo Xianfeng coming in, she immediately showed him the electronic board excitedly.
"Hey! Huo Xianfeng, are you the one coaxing the child?"
The photo didn't show his face, it was obviously Huo Chao's body coaxing the child to sleep,
Huo Xianfeng: “…”
forget.
In addition to posting his own dark history, my stupid friend also posts his.
"not me."
Huo Xianfeng had a blank expression on his face, and he began to argue without blushing or breathing heavily.
"How could the king do that..."
Before he could finish his words, Jiang Ci used two fingers to shrink the photo and showed him the caption.
"Ah, you're worthy of being Xiaofeng. You're even better at coaxing children than me. Damn it! The next competition will be to see who can coax more children in one minute! I will definitely win!!! [Come on][Come on][Come on]"
Without saying a word, the Major General succeeded in choking the king who had just mocked him.
"… "
Huo Xianfeng stood expressionless for a few seconds, then turned his head away and greeted Huo Chao a hundred times in his heart.
"Oh... well, now I remember that the child was picked up by Huo Chao on the battlefield."
"—so that was you?"
Jiang Ci stared at him steadily, not ready to let him change the subject.
Huo Xianfeng spoke calmly.
"Tsk... But that's because human cubs are so annoying when they cry."
"You can actually coax a child?!"
Jiang Ci only grasped the key points he wanted to hear, and he was shocked.
After all, Huo Xianfeng doesn't look like the kind of gentle and kind father. His cold and arrogant face makes him more like the type of person like Zhou Jiuya who is fierce and doesn't know how to communicate with children.
Huo Xianfeng noticed Jiang Ci's overly strange look and suddenly felt that he was being doubted. How could the king's ability be doubted? !
So he snorted coldly and said disdainfully,
"What's wrong? How difficult is it to take care of a cub?"
—He can also hatch eggs.
And in a sense, Huo Chao could be considered to have been brought up by him! It was just that the situation was special, and Huo Xianfeng didn't take care of him very much, so Huo Chao didn't pay much attention to his appearance.
Jiang Ci stared at him steadily. At this moment, he felt that this guy's expression was as if saying -
In this world, there is nothing that can stump Huo Xianfeng!!!
"Okay, don't look at those meaningless and eye-irritating things."
Huo Xianfeng pulled the electronic board out of Jiang Ci's hand and threw it aside. He felt that he had made a mistake. Before exposing his stupid friend's Xingbo account, he should have deleted all the content related to himself first!
"Jiang Ci, Pei Changyun just declared war, I plan to..."
Jiang Ci held his forehead, feeling a little dizzy. So Huo Xianfeng stopped talking halfway, leaned over to touch Jiang Ci's head, and asked him,
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"A little dizzy."
Jiang Ci frowned.
"Maybe it's because the forced connection to the 3S mecha is a bit too much of a burden on me."
This explanation makes sense.
Because it is normal for mecha drivers to feel dizzy. The higher the level of the mecha, the higher the mental threshold required of the driver. Even if it is your own mecha, you will experience dizziness after a long period of matching driving.
When Huo Chao first drove the Forbidden Abyss, he also felt dizzy. If he was not overdrawn, he would usually be fine after a good night's sleep.
Hearing that his beloved baby Aci was not feeling well, Xiao X flew over quickly. It immediately scanned Jiang Ci's head and obtained some preliminary data.
"Except for the slightly higher mental strength threshold, all other data are normal. The dizziness should just be due to fatigue... But Ah Ci, I still suggest that you go see Doctor Wen for a checkup."
Although Xiao X is equipped with medical programs, it can only be used for general illnesses and injuries. As a professional parenting system, it needs to eliminate all risks for its little owner.
"Your mental strength threshold has increased too quickly recently. Although it's a good thing, I've looked through all the records of the Empire and even those dating back to the Alliance period in the past two days, and I've never seen a case like yours. We should look for the reason."
Huo Xianfeng frowned.
"The mental strength threshold has increased. How much has it increased?"
"489."
The little X gives the exact value.
"The total value has exceeded 1,100 and is still growing."
Huo Xianfeng didn't know much about the mental strength threshold and physical health problems of humans, so he still had to find a professional human doctor. So he did not hesitate to turn to the direction of the forbidden abyss -
"Okay, let's go find Dr. Wen."
But at this moment, the radar alarm of the First Legion sounded in the distance!
"Alert! Alert! A large number of missiles have been detected approaching at a very fast speed! Expected to arrive within five minutes!"
"Alert! Alert! A large number of missiles have been detected approaching at a very fast speed! Expected to arrive within five minutes!"
Jiang Ci was startled and her expression suddenly became serious.
"Mingcheng's defensive barrier consumes too much energy. It has been closed since the main brain of the Central Temple was repaired. It will take some time to open it. Now we can only intercept with anti-aircraft artillery."
As soon as he finished speaking, wartime alarms sounded outside one after another, and the ground trembled dully. Hundreds of fortress turrets rotated out from the legion station, pointed at the sky, and automatically aimed, ready to locate and intercept.
The start of this war was a little too sudden. At least Huo Xianfeng didn't expect the other side to directly attack Mingcheng. But this also saved him from looking for them.
Huo Xianfeng squeezed Jiang Ci's hand
"Until we find out what's wrong with your mental strength threshold, Ah Ci, you may not be suitable for piloting a mecha in combat."
"… good."
Jiang Ci had no objection. He knew that in such a dangerous battlefield, if something went wrong with him, it would not just be himself that would be dragged down.
"Then I'll go to the Central Temple to do satellite interception."
Five minutes later, Jiang Ci was brought to the Central Temple by Bai Ze. He hurriedly strode in and when he looked up, he saw Nora standing at the door carrying Doctor Wen on one hand.
"Huahua~~~"
The girl waved at him desperately, grinning.
"here-"
Jiang Ci: “…”
