Turazzo has revealed a lot of secrets, including the movement of the Melova people after their treason and the process of their gradual split, but Sandora and I still have a lot to ask, the first is the most critical question: Are they betraying? She went out with her sister before, but even with Lin Xue's help, her sister couldn't fully recall the scene back then, so no one knew what happened on the day Melova betrayed her. It seems like countless things happened in that short period of time—the Emperor of the Fifteen Sky Zone found the Void Creature, the Void Creature died to help protect the world, the Sky Zone Emperor and her lieutenant, the Prophet Reki, suffered the aftermath The shock and sacrifice together, the Melova mutiny, everything happened in those few days (the last days of the Centennial Expedition), which seems to be the entanglement point of many events today, if these things did not happen then Well, my life will be a completely different path—well, it may still be floating in the void now. It is said that void creatures like to sleep late and yawn in the infant stage for seven to eighty thousand years.
In the eyes of ordinary people, these incidents together are meaningless. Most people will only pay attention to the incident itself, and will not pay attention to the situation that they "join together", but I don't think so. This matter has nothing to do with myself as a void creature. After establishing a relationship, it is not easy. I have communicated with the Father God many times to make myself understand a truth: any event that is related to void creatures and presents an entanglement state must never be analyzed independently. It has become the key point for countless events to happen or not and their final direction. So I'm curious about what happened on the day Melova chose to defect, and how they determined that the empire had collapsed.
This last question is particularly important, because the most important reason why the Merova people dared to defect was that they were sure that they would not be hunted and killed, and they already knew what was happening in the empire.
Turazzo's answer was simple: "We have learned everything from His Majesty the Emperor."
His Majesty the Emperor he was talking about was still the Emperor of the Fifteen Heavenly Region back then, that is, what happened in my elder sister's previous life.
"His Majesty the Emperor trusts us very much," Turazzo said with embarrassment on his face. "We have followed her for countless years, and were even given the power to execute the extermination order on behalf of the Imperial Army. Before the disaster happened, His Majesty the Emperor once revealed to us A little bit of her worries—but she didn't say anything at that time, we didn't know what was going to happen, she just reminded us to pay attention to preserving all kinds of knowledge and strengthening the defense of our homeland. During the last expedition, His Majesty the Emperor said to go to Seeing a 'god who hasn't woken up', then never came back, just sent back a message, which told us what happened in the empire. She announced that her plan had failed, the empire had collapsed, and Let us convey this message to the entire sky area, so that all family members can flee for their lives."
"It's really blind." Lilina couldn't help but express her contempt, "Damn it, you were told to run away before you died, and you ended up doing this? Is this something people do? I You can't do this, can you?"
"To be honest, do you regret what you did back then?" I was also angry, but I remembered that my sister once said that what happened back then is a matter of the previous life, and she personally does not intend to pursue it emotionally, so I also Temporarily suppressed, he just looked into Turazzo's eyes, trying to find even a little bit of repentance from the other's expression: the old man in front of him is a different kind of Merova, and I believe he can still be saved.
"Regret? Maybe," Turazzo laughed self-deprecatingly, "but if General Vanna could turn back the time and go back to the day when everything happened, I would still make the same decision: take the fleet back to the home planet, take Take everything that can be taken away, and from then on, the Melova people will cut off all ties with the empire, and no longer be loyal to anyone. We will no longer be anyone's servants, repeat it a few times, we will do it a few times."
Even Sandora was choked and speechless: the old man is such a bachelor's speech!
"I know that this question may save my life because of the different answers," Turazzo looked at us, "but I will not flatter even a word to save my life. This is what you taught me back then, and I will always Keep going. What you do is what you do. There is nothing to hide. Melova was saved by the empire in ancient times. It was you who pulled us back from the abyss. Therefore, the Merova people have been loyal to the empire for tens of millions of years , obedience, but this loyalty has been repaid. We have been treated as cannon fodder and servants for long enough, so we should be free. If you don’t give it to us, we will grab it, even if we die. Thanks to you, I think that compared to those fleets and weapons, this is the real wealth that the empire gives to the Melova people."
Lin Xue spread her hands: "But you are still very cooperative in answering our questions, aren't you?"
"Because there is no need to hide it, I have betrayed the country, and I don't intend to surrender. I tell you this, and I don't intend to hide it. If I die openly, I can at least have less regrets-I have held back these words for tens of thousands of years today. I didn't expect I really have the opportunity to say it in front of the old master, and now I have said something that I never dared to say in front of the general, and I have no regrets."
I winked at Sandora, and discussed in the spiritual connection: "How do you think this stubborn old man will deal with it?"
"It's a capital crime, but it's inexplicably difficult to do it," Sandora's voice sounded quite tangled, "If I was in the past, I would definitely kill him for whatever reason at this time, but now...why do I feel like I have become an adult?" What about the bad guys?"
"Don't talk about you, I also feel the same... The old bad debts are really getting bigger and bigger. My opinion is... this old man can stay. Even if there is a trial, it will wait until the mess of Melova is over. Can you survive under your extermination order?"
"... I have never kept it before, but this extermination order has not yet started after all, if you are willing to pardon some people, it will not affect anything," Sandora gave me a blank look, "but this is unprecedented—— There has never been such a temporary modification of the extermination order, and it is the first time that the extermination scope has been changed after it was delineated."
"Don't you think that's a little too serious?"
"I've never been serious with you..."
I froze, feeling helpless...
However, it is still too early to consider the amnesty of the extermination order. Sandora and I just had an idea. How to deal with these Melovas in the end needs to be carefully considered. After all, this will involve the life and death of a large number of lives. No matter how powerful we are, we cannot treat it as a joke. As for the present, I think that for the time being, we can not pursue the issue of the old man in front of us-because we have more important things to do.
So I changed the subject: "... Well, let's not discuss this for now. I think this Turazzo can be used as one of the breakthrough points for our actions in this world. He at least knows the military habits of the Merova people. But Do you think he can be trusted?"
This time Sandora thought for a few seconds, then nodded firmly: "My mental detection is fine, I can be sure that this person did not deceive us, he should be a minority in the rebel army, once such a person is won, It is often of great value, and according to my observation, the difficulty of being persuaded is quite low."
I nodded, turned around and looked at Turazzo, who was sitting on a chair calmly, with neither sad nor happy expression, as if he didn't care about what would happen to him, it was exactly as he said: this life No regrets anymore.
"Turazo, are you willing to assist us?" I said straight to the point, "Kill Barrian and the Radicals."
Turazzo was taken aback, this question was definitely beyond his expectation, but he is a smart person after all, he quickly understood what I meant: "Ask me this? Isn't it an immediate execution?"
"The new empire, the rules are different," I laughed, "waiting for your answer now. I can tell you frankly: the extermination order will not be revoked, and the Merova people are still the enemies of the empire, but I have revised it The scope of the extermination order, now only the radicals will be wiped out, this is tantamount to giving you the last chance... It is visually estimated that you also want to help the slave races in these worlds, this is the same as our purpose, under this premise, cooperation How about once?"
Turazzo looked at this side in surprise until he was sure that I was not lying: "I never thought that you would say such a thing, it was very surprising, if back then... But now I will not be loyal to anyone, I am indeed hostile to Barryan, and I regard those radicals who have been brainwashed into lunatics as mortal enemies, but I don't think I will join you in carrying out the extermination order against your own compatriots, don't you think this... unimaginable?"
When I thought about it, it was true: I was inviting Turazzo to carry out a massacre against his fellow clans—although it sounds ugly, isn’t that what happened in fact? Although the Melovas have been split into two factions (but looking at Turazzo’s current tragedy, the conservatives in Melova may actually exist in name only), but in front of the empire, they are at least the same race... Where the contradictions and external contradictions cannot be reconciled, I guess with my political literacy, I can't solve such a sophisticated matter.
"It's not asking for your allegiance," Miss Lin wanted to try harder, "just assisting. We don't expect any Melovans to regain their loyalty to the empire, but this time it's for you to fight for your beliefs— At least you can save these slave races from the wrong actions of your compatriots, and you can be regarded as atonement for the radicals headed by Barryan. We don't need you to deal with your compatriots yourself, we just hope that when the imperial army takes action, you And your conservatives can protect themselves wisely, so that they can give the Imperial Army a reason not to attack you. I also hope that you can help to release those slave races. I think you know how to release slave races from control in a short period of time. All of the above I don't think things exceed your bottom line, do you?"
Lilina added a crucial sentence next to it: "And you see, this is the only way for you to keep your roots in your race. You will definitely be beaten down by the boss's army, but if you can let some Come here, maybe the extermination order can be accommodated a little bit. Isn’t that the case, boss?”
I patted Lilina on the head, the one she proposed should be more touching to Turazzo.
"Amnesty under the extermination order?" Turazzo raised his eyebrows, and seemed to have finally wavered, "If it's just to stand aside and help liberate the slave race... I'm sorry for Barry, but this is what the conservatives have been doing. "
"So the agreement has been established?" I couldn't help exhaling, talking to this stubborn old man is quite tiring.
"Basically...established," Turazzo said very meaningfully, "I know that after this incident is over, I will still be judged, regardless of the cause and future standing, at least in terms of treason, conservatives The crimes of the radicals are the same, so our cooperation will probably end at that time, and in this short time, we stand together for the time being."
Sandora nodded with satisfaction: "Very good. But there is one question to confirm: Is the conservative you say can be as reliable as you? Will someone turn against Barian? And what is the power of the conservative? "
"I can guarantee reliable questions from the conservatives," Turazzo nodded confidently, "after knowing the details, they will understand what to do, and absolutely no one will be loyal to Barryan—that tyrant, what he did to his compatriots What happened is ten times more brutal than the way the Empire used to drive us to the battlefield. As for the forces of the conservative faction... "
Turazzo's expression changed quickly, and his tone suddenly became boring: "Counting me, there are sixteen people in total, and the other fifteen were locked in prison by Barryan..."
Me: "..." Everyone: "..."
"Master, are you playing with us?" Lilina screamed strangely and jumped up.
"There are really only so many conservatives left on the surface today," Turazzo said with a sly smile, "Someone must take the initiative to protect others, so that Barryan can focus on those hidden conservatives. Move away. The exact number of Conservatives is a secret, but I can be sure: not many, but definitely not few, and we also have some influence in the army: although all the troops are in the hands of Barry, if the Empire If the army really launches an attack, some conservatives can still be instigated by me. I have this confidence. Barryan has not yet been able to brainwash everyone. Most of the old generals who defected with us and their subordinates... he You can’t move your hands, you can only squeeze it into a corner, just like me.”
Looking at us now, we can only believe in Turazzo's self-confidence. As for his reliability, there should be no problem with Sandora's spiritual perception and Lin Xue's prediction as a double guarantee—and to be honest, with the imperial army pressing down on the border and the border is about to be closed, even if this Tula If something goes wrong with Zuo, it will not affect the overall situation. At most, we will have to take some detours, so there is no need to worry.
Seeing that we have finally finished talking about serious matters here, Qianqian was happy after playing alone for a long time, stood up and exhaled: "Hey, you guys are done talking, it's really boring..."
Turazzo's mouth twitched: "... this... Actually, I have long wanted to ask, what happened to General Fanna? Why does she look like..."
He was really embarrassed to say the second half of the sentence, but I think I can understand the old man's thoughts. During the half-hour negotiation time just now, Qianqian had been playing by herself because she was bored. She spread a newspaper on the floor and was fighting landlords with herself by relying on her schizophrenic talent. Now she has stickers on her face. A little note with a face... I don't understand the point of her posting this note at all...
I can't imagine what Fanna was like back then, but she certainly wouldn't be so short-sighted. Turazzo saw that the majestic and heroic general turned into a bastard, and he had mixed feelings in his heart. of.
"He died once, and part of his IQ was eaten by him." Lin Xue sighed, and pouted towards me.
"Eh..." Turazzo was taken aback, "General Reki, you are also a little..."
"I also died once, and part of my EQ was eaten by him." Lin Xue sighed again, and pouted towards me.
Me: "... I feel like I can't refute it at all."
Next we roughly exchanged opinions and information—of course we mainly asked for information from Turazzo. First of all, the list of races serving as the Melova slave army in these dozen or so worlds and the location of their respective home planets are determined, followed by the number of the regular army of the Melova people—the information about this is not very accurate, Tula Zuo has been excluded from the political core for thousands of years. Even if he retains some intelligence networks, the military secrets he can grasp will not be very many, so what he gives us is only an approximate number.
Regarding those slave races, after knowing that the vast majority of the slave army was also controlled by brainwashing drugs, Sandora thought of a special method to temporarily release these shackles, that is, let Turazzo use his interpersonal network to spread the blood of these slaves. Resonance crystals are placed in places where ethnic groups live together. When war breaks out, Sandora can use the power of resonance crystals to "broadcast" her own mind control to suppress the activities of the slave army. Of course, this cannot fundamentally solve the brainwashing effects they suffered, but we only need to keep the slave army suppressed until the end of the war, and the rest can be solved slowly after the war. It is believed that without a target of allegiance, the brainwashing symptoms of slave soldiers are easier to treat.
Resonance crystals can be disguised as ordinary psionic crystals, and the energy used by most of the small equipment of the Melovas is also psionic crystals, so Turazzo is confident that these crystals will be distributed throughout the Merova Empire in a short time. territory.
The next step is to find out what exactly the Anulili race was done by Barian—intuition tells each of us that this issue is very important, even more important than all the slave troops of the Melova people. Sandora decided to send a few imperial agents to Turazzo to help, using Turazzo's intelligence network and the high quality of the imperial agents to see if he could sneak into Barryan's palace. The latter takes a large number of people from the three slave donor planets every day, and the number is consistent with the population growth rate of these slave races, so we don't have to worry about sneaking into the enemy's stronghold and not finding those who were taken away.
"Finally, I have one more thing to say, but this is entirely my guess, not necessarily accurate," Turazzo saw that we had the intention to say goodbye and leave, hesitated and finally couldn't help but speak, "About the possible A trump card of existence.” RS
