Vol 4 Chapter 34: eternal war

Text Chapter 34 Eternal War

An Sen looked back in astonishment. The person standing in front of the gate was none other than the spiritual leader of Ice Dragon Fjord, Bishop Ripo.

Not only him, but the eyes of the entire hall converged on this middle-aged man whose temples were already gray at this moment, either shocked, puzzled, or expected.

But Bishop Ripper completely ignored those gazes, leaning on a cane, he stood proudly in front of the gate, pursing the corners of his mouth and watching Anson in astonishment, like a large torch standing.

"Master Anson Bach, you must not use such a benevolent way, you must not just let it go." The voice, like Hong Zhong, echoed in the hall:

"I know, this looks like an accident, a murder, a group of greedy people hit the head of the storm division soldiers, killing people for a few gold coins... It seems to be the most common security incident in Beluga Harbor. "

"But it's not true...it, it's not true!"

"He... no, they! Not some ordinary murderers, they want more than just a few gold coins; if you think of this as a case, think of them as a group of people who need to be arrested Criminals, that's a big mistake!"

"The gangsters who killed your soldiers...they are envoys, sentinels, trumpeters, blowing trumpets to you and the whole of Beluga Harbor."

"The horn of war!"

The whole hall was quiet.

Bishop Ripper, leaning on a cane, staggered towards Anson, staring straight at him, as if he had some kind of crazy magic.

Anson raised his hand to stop Lisa and the guards who wanted to stop, and was the first to break the silence:

"What war?"

"Eternal war!" Bishop Ripper stepped forward, his pupils exuding endless brilliance:

"Inspired by the Ring of Order, the devout devotees rallied to form an alliance of the Faithful to fight for their faith; the infidels, already feeling the threat, tried to nip this great force in the bud."

"They are provoking and testing! They want to use this despicable and shameless means to know if we have the courage and confidence to take on the challenge."

"If we are indifferent to all this, they will feel that we are weaker and more vulnerable; greater and more terrible disasters will befall every believer of the Ring of Order, turning Beluga Harbor into a hellfire ruled by the devil. ."

Taking a deep breath, the bishop roared in his thick voice: "Since this is the case, we must take the lead and use the most direct and most violent means to destroy them, destroy them, and crush them!"

"Let the brave soldiers enter the city, let the warships set up their cannons, arm the Faithful Allies, mobilize all the faithful of the Ring of Order, and then commune by commune, farm by farm, colony by colony to purge the vile dissidents Cultists, let the radiance of the Ring of Order rise from Beluga Harbor to illuminate the entire Ice Dragon Fjord colony."

"The war... has begun from this moment!"

The voice fell, and the members of the entire hall changed color.

Looking at the apparently unnatural expressions, An Sen, who was silent, could probably guess why.

As a thriving colony that has only been in development for fifty years, the success of Beluga Port is certainly due to the hard work of the colonists and new immigrants, but the exploitation of the indigenous people is obviously indispensable.

According to the statistics of the small secretary, basically all the large-scale farms have twice as many colonists, or even more "beast slaves"; and the mining industry is even more exaggerated, at least quadrupling.

The situation in Beluga Port City is basically similar. The wealthier colonists may support some docile and obedient "beast slaves", while more "returning natives" undertake a lot of basic work that no one wants to do. Mixed with new immigrants in the most broken and marginalized neighborhoods.

The number of indigenous people in this part cannot be estimated, but even according to the minimum statistics, it is equivalent to at least a quarter of the entire population of Beluga Harbor...more than 10,000 people.

As for the infidels, it is even more incalculable - despite the continuous progress of the maritime industry, going to sea is still a very risky behavior in the eyes of people in this era; how many immigrants who abandon their native life and choose to go to the new world are secretly The believers of the three old gods... can't be counted at all.

Since there are a large number of old gods even in Clovis, and there are magic props hidden in the homes of wealthy aristocrats; do the councilors in the colony know nothing about the old gods lurking around them?

How can it be.

Given the degree of indulgence of the church in the new world, even if half of the councilors are from the old gods, or even spellcasters... Anson would not be surprised at all.

After all, for the vast majority of ordinary people without the power of blood, who can resist the temptation of being extraordinary, or seeing everything, or eternal life? Even if these seemingly good icings are wrapped in horrific poison.

As Bishop Ripper said, at least half of Moby Dick would be burned... at least.

"I agree with you, this is likely to be a war... A war between believers in the Ring of Order and heretics." Anson said lightly:

"Now that we have come to this land, we cannot expect those heretics to really submit to the majesty of the Ring of Order without resorting to force."

Hearing this, the members present became even more flustered, and the corner of Bishop Ripper's mouth revealed a hint of coursing.

Before he could continue to say anything, An Sen took the lead and said, "But... since this is the enemy's provocation, it proves that they definitely planned to lure us into the trap that was already designed."

"For an army, the most dangerous situation is to walk into the battlefield preset by the enemy, so that the rhythm of the entire battle is firmly controlled by the opponent."

"Pagans can be reckless, but we can't; because Ice Dragon Fjord is the land of all believers of the Ring of Order, and Beluga Harbor is a beacon that illuminates the whole new world - her glory, should not be stained with blood!"

After a slight pause, An Sen turned around abruptly, his eyes swept over all the members present:

"I assure you that unless the situation is really out of control, the storm division will not choose to resort to force to turn this city blessed by the Ring of Order into a battlefield shrouded in flames!"

"This is a promise, and it is the determination of the storm division!"

"The Beluga Harbor Guard Corps will eradicate the pagan groups that endanger the believers of the Ring of Order, and any threat to the colony - whether it comes from outside or among us!"

A calm voice echoed under the vault of the hall.

Seeing the delighted expressions of the members present, Bishop Ripper frowned, and there was a hint of surprise in the corner of his eyes.

Anson's answer surprised him and greatly exceeded his expectations.

"If the army is not allowed into the city, the streets are blocked... How are you going to solve this incident?"

"Of course it's the least expensive way." An Sen with a pipe in his mouth said without hesitation.

So far, I have very few clues, but basically enough:

First of all, according to the judgment made by Carl Bain, the other party is most likely to have an impromptu intention, and attacked the patrol of the Storm Division without any preparation, and did not make detailed arrangements and preparations.

The evidence is that there are a large number of witnesses at the scene, and these people have no impression of the attackers, and unanimously call the other party a "blood-covered guy".

This is a very exaggerated adjective, and it is very inconsistent with the reaction of normal people when encountering criminals or murderers; excluding the possibility that everyone is an accomplice and intends to cover up this person and lie, there is only one conclusion: this person was indeed covered in blood at that time. , and absolutely literally.

If he had a plan of action from the start, he would never have made himself so conspicuous as he escaped.

Secondly, the opponent is very likely to be a spellcaster...or a talent who has awakened the power of blood.

It's not as easy as it seems to break a person's skull, let alone a dozen... If the other party comes prepared, it is very likely to have a blunt weapon that is easy to carry; if not, then it must be First assume that the other party has the ability to blow the heads of a dozen people without relying on tools.

Of course, it would have been very different if they had guns in their hands; but according to the autopsy report of the officers at the scene, only three of the bodies had gunshot wounds to the skull.

Finally... Anson remembered the "beast slave" who smashed his head and committed suicide.

Although there was no evidence, he couldn't help but link the two things together.

If it really is not some kind of coincidence or accident, but some kind of indigenous tradition, pagan killing "ritual", this will also become a very important clue; as long as similar cases happen again, it will soon be confirmed The location of the crime determines the general scope of activities of the murderer.

Finally, and most importantly...why did the other party do this?

He attacked and killed the soldiers of the Storm Division without any preparation or plan in advance, which would almost inevitably cause a reaction from himself and the entire Beluga Harbor, taking the risk of being killed or captured alive. What exactly is it for?

provocative?

There is such a possibility, but the cost and risk are too high; what's more, if the contradiction is really intensified, what is the opponent going to use against an infantry division that is fully loaded, and a battleship docked in a port?

At least before reaching the level of "blasphemy mage", the advantage of the caster is still in concealment and suddenness. Even if there is a certain number, it is impossible to be an opponent of the infantry line and the 68-pounder cannon.

And even if the other party really has a spell caster of this level... To be honest, An Sen is not afraid, and even hopes that the other party will take the initiative to stand up. After all, this time he is no longer fighting alone.

On the other hand, if it really belongs to the other party's temporary intention, as Carl Bain judged, and it is not the result of a deliberate plan, it proves that the four soldiers at that time are likely to have discovered something, forcing the other party to expose it and insist on They and the rest of the witnesses were silenced.

"The most important thing right now is to arrest the perpetrator as soon as possible, or find clues that can determine his whereabouts." Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, implying that without thinking:

"Since the other party is the enemy of all Ring of Order believers, the first thing we need to do is to understand their purpose, as well as their organization and number."

"After clarifying this, we can move on to the next step."

"If they really intend to provoke us, then as long as we haven't fought, similar crimes will not end, and they will reveal their whereabouts sooner or later!"

"Before that, I ask all Ring of Order believers to be vigilant and be prepared for accidents anytime, anywhere." Anson's face sank:

"This is a very moment, Bishop Ripper. I regret to tell you that some of my previous promises... may be void."

Promise voided? !

The gloomy bishop paused: "You mean..."

"From now on, all believers in the Ring of Order in Beluga Harbor must register at a church near the community to prove their piety." An Sen said solemnly:

"Ten days... Within ten days, all those without rank will be dealt with as apostates and infidels - in the square outside the White Whale Harbor Parliament, and shoot them on the spot!"

"This?!"

The bishop's pupils shrank suddenly.

"In addition, all those who have registered their names, as long as the Storm Division and the Faithful Alliance issue a call~www.wuxiaspot.com~, are not allowed to refuse; any believers whose registered identities are found to be inconsistent with the facts will also be regarded as apostates and dissidents. The way of the believers!"

Anson slowly took down his pipe and looked at Bishop Ripper, whose face suddenly became ugly: "Sir, you said... We are fighting a war."

"Since it is a war, the first thing to do is to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy, and then to do everything possible to unite the forces; at this juncture, they are still reluctant to fight for their beliefs, and even the 'believers' who call out their names... Really will be A devout follower of the Ring of Order?"

"But...but this doesn't need to be forced!" Bishop Ripper showed a bit of panic:

"As long as the call is issued, I believe that everyone will be willing to fight for their beliefs, there is no need..."

"This is war!"

An Sen directly interrupted the flustered bishop: "War...is fought by soldiers!"

"Soldiers... must obey orders!"

The bishop's eyes widened.

He looked at Anson Bach, whose face was suddenly sinking in front of him, and remembered Speaker Harold's vicious complaint at the New Year's party.

"Of course, the most important job at the moment is still to arrest the murderer, at least to find out his whereabouts as soon as possible." Anson's words changed:

"This job is not easy. I will hand it over to the most reliable and trustworthy person, and I will guarantee a result within three days."

Um? !

Hearing this sentence, Carl Bain was stunned all over his body, and his eyes suddenly became extremely dark, as if he was about to fall over in a trance.

The next second, An Sen slowly said:

"Lisa Bach."

"My sister...and the captain of the guard company."
