Chapter 1596: Mekkatorque's Struggle

When it comes to revolution, human beings are professionals.

The Palesean civilization was once again swept by civil wars, and this time the contradictions were more difficult to reconcile.

Mekkatorque originally thought that the civil war had been pacified, but unexpectedly, the storm returned and was unstoppable.

Before, when human beings regarded the "Divine Energy Act" as a contradiction, Mekkatorque felt that this contradiction could be resolved by amending the act.

Even when he talked with Prince Epsys, he proposed to amend the divine energy bill, but he didn't really want to overthrow the bill.

Instead, amending the bill to give the lower-level ethnic groups a little hope of promotion, even if it is only a little bit of illusory hope, can appease the lower-level ethnic groups.

After amending the bill, the effect also came out.

Under the baptism of the beliefs of the temples and temples, the lower-level ethnic groups in Palesai have long been accustomed to this environment of enduring oppression and living happily.

Therefore, as long as they are given a little bit of illusory hope of promotion, the lower-level ethnic groups will worship them as if they have received a gift.

Mekkatorque didn't really want to fight for the interests of the lower-level groups when he revised the Divine Energy Act. He was just working hard for the destiny of civilization.

Seeing that the civil war was about to be put down, unexpectedly, a more violent storm swept across.

Because of those three crusade declarations.

Three declarations, each of which hits the heart of the Palesian civilization.

The dragon slayer will eventually become a dragon.

The leaders of the four major rebel armies have always been small in scale.

After all, the living environment determines the horizon, and the horizon determines the upper limit.

The leaders of the four major rebels had their vision there, and a promise of a duke title would allow them to be recruited.

However, when the rebel leader became an aristocrat, the identity changed.

They are no longer the lower class, but belong to the noble class.

They naturally stood on the opposite side of their rebels.

The contradiction between the noble class and the lower class is a contradiction that can never be reconciled.

As a result, civil strife began within the four major rebel forces.

at this time.

Caesar's court announced the declaration of overthrowing the St. Ruisi's court, overthrowing the aristocratic system, changing the status quo of civilization, and changing the fate of the bottom groups.

As soon as this declaration came out, the part of the lower-class group with ideals and the lower-class group who accepted the recruitment gradually began to split.

New rebels appeared, allegiance to Caesar's court, the rebels who demanded to overthrow the aristocratic system, and the rebels who accepted the recruitment began to fight.

This change within the rebel army did not last for too long.

Because most of the technology used by the rebels was provided by the Carbon-based Alliance.

When there is turmoil within the rebel army, the Carbon-based Alliance only needs to cut off the technological support of the Zhao'an faction and paralyze the warships of the Zhao'an faction, and the turmoil will soon end.

In just half a month.

The leaders of three of the four major rebel armies were replaced by idealists, who continued to be loyal to Caesar's court and demanded the overthrow of the aristocratic system.

Only Sigmar retained the position of the leader of the rebel army, and at the same time expelled the lower part of the rebellion, resulting in a shrinking army size.

The three idealist rebels, in accordance with the combat guidelines issued by the Caesar court, continued to ignite the fire and destroy the fleet of the noble territory.

...

Templar star.

Saint Reis Royal Court Hall.

Palesser executives are having an emergency meeting.

Saint Rhys Celatis was furious, and questioned Mekkatorque: "Didn't you say that the civil war was pacified half a month ago? What's going on now? Tell me, what's going on now?"

Mekkatorque looked a little sluggish.

Even if Saint Rhys Celatis didn't scold him, he was exhausted physically and mentally by the situation of the civil war.

"I underestimated the means of human beings. He is even more difficult to deal with than we expected." Mekkatorque replied in a low voice, speaking in a very confident tone.

He has lost the tough attitude he had a few months ago.

The failure to quell the civil war this time made him feel deeply frustrated.

Just half a month ago, when he promised the title of duke to the leaders of the four major rebels,

He once thought that the civil war had been successfully put down.

However, it turned out that the rejoicing was too early.

"Why is this happening? I have agreed to all your requests. Amending the Divine Energy Act, executing Duke Antudier, everything is an event that shakes the foundation of civilization, I agree to you all, you want You can do whatever you want, as long as you can put down the civil war. But what's going on now? Tell me, what's going on?" Saint Rhys Celatis continued to scold.

In the matter of the execution of Duke Antudier, there are actually many troubles.

Because the Duke of Antudil is one of the most powerful nobles in the noble faction, except for Prince Epsys.

However, nobles with such high status were all executed.

This created a great crisis for the rule of Saint Reis Celatis.

The stable royal power of the Palesian civilization originally relied on the maintenance of the aristocratic system.

The aristocracy upholds the aristocracy and at the same time upholds the royal power.

Kingship also grants patronage to nobles.

Therefore, in the history of Palese civilization, there has never been a precedent for the execution of nobles because of the lower class.

Nobles are born with the power to kill and kill the lower class.

However, this time Saint Rhys Celatis executed Duke Antudier, which meant that he touched the foundation of the aristocratic system.

This will cause the noble faction to become hostile to the court of Sanris.

Because the Duke of Antudier can be executed, any other noble can be executed.

Saint Rhys Celatis agreed to execute Duke Antudier, already betting on the solid foundation of the royal power.

Originally, they wanted to pay this price to quell the civil war.

However, the civil war has not stopped now, but has intensified.

Duke Tuttle, an aristocrat with comparable status to Duke Antudier, asked aloud: "General Mekkatorque, the lower-level rebels proposed to amend the divine energy bill, so you revise the divine energy bill.

"Now the rebels at the bottom are demanding the overthrow of the aristocratic system. Do you also think that the aristocratic system should be overthrown?"

When this question was asked, the hall became dead silent.

Because this issue is too sensitive, it is an issue that involves the entire Palesian civilization, the aristocratic system, and the royal system.

Once Mekkatorque answers "yes", it means that he wants to overthrow the aristocratic system, and overthrowing the aristocratic system means overthrowing the kingship.

So, this is treason.

Mekkatorque looked ugly.

He was exhausted mentally and physically from the flames of the civil war, and now he had to face the questioning of the noble faction, let alone how to respond.

If he answered "yes", then according to the practice of Palesi's royal power, he could directly treat him as a conspiracy and leave the Abyss of the Forsworn to be with Duke Antudier.

If he answers "no", then he will not be able to pass the test in his heart.

Because he knew in his heart that the declaration of resistance issued by humans this time hit the lifeblood of the Palesian civilization. Without overthrowing the aristocratic factions, the bottom rebels would not be able to surrender.

The civil war has turned into a dead end.

Mekkatorque was now in a moment of confusion.

He didn't know why the situation suddenly became like this.

Just half a month ago, he had recruited the four major rebels by means of thunder, and he was about to successfully quell the civil war.

Unexpectedly, half a month passed.

God, it changed again.

"Human civilization is more difficult to deal with than I expected. They have seen through the shortcomings of our civilization structure and hit the lifeblood of civilization. I can't think of a better way now..." Mekkatorque didn't know how to respond, he could only say the truth.

"This is your answer? So what do you mean? Watch the flames of the civil war continue to burn, and then wait to die?" Duke Tuttle snorted and asked.

Until now this situation.

Noble factions and Mekkatorque have formed hostilities.

Because Mekkatorque has been hurting the interests of noble factions.

Even if Mekkatorque's purpose is to save civilization, once the interests of the group are damaged, the group will ignore any reason and be hostile to the group that harms their interests.

Mekkatorque is now an enemy of the noble faction.

Saint Rhys Celatis was also very angry. He saw the flames of the civil war getting more and more fierce, and when he heard Mekkatorque's words, his eyes sank, and he asked: "Mekkatorque, what do you mean? Is this Are you ready to surrender to humans?"

Mekkatorque shook his head, and replied: "I mean, it's probably impossible to quell the civil war now. Unless you are really willing to overthrow the aristocratic system."

When he said this, he looked around and looked at the aristocratic class present, and he knew in his heart that this sentence was just for fun.

Even if it's just for fun.

Hearing this sentence, the noble faction stared at him angrily, as if they were going to swallow the energy of his body in the next second.

In fact, saying this sentence will not help the situation in any way, and it will even anger the noble faction.

However, Mekkatorque was no longer interested in stabilizing the situation.

He has been suppressed for too long and is too tired, so he just wants to provoke the noble faction, and use this method to vent his emotions about to collapse.

The reason for his collapse was not because the opponent was too strong, on the contrary, the stronger the opponent, the higher his fighting spirit.

The reason that brought him to the brink of collapse was the contradictions within the civilization, as if he was the only one working hard to save the entire civilization.

Other nobles and high-level civilizations seem to only see their interests.

These nobles are unwilling to agree to amend the divine energy bill, even if they only use a little hope of promotion to deceive the lower-level groups.

Now the bottom rebels are demanding the overthrow of the noble faction.

Mekkatorque didn't even need to think about it, he knew that this request was impossible to succeed.

Therefore, Mekkatorque has seen through the resolution of the civil war at a glance, and it is impossible to pacify it.

Only if one of the bottom-level rebels and noble factions dies between the two, can this civil war stop.

However, by that time, the Palesean civilization would be gone.

"Mekkatorque, are you trying to plot rebellion?!" Many nobles from the noble faction shouted loudly at the same time, and their voices shook the entire hall.

Mekkatorque laughed at himself and said, "I won't explain. I have exhausted my strength. If I am destined to fail to save the fate of the church, then I can only sacrifice my life in the end."

"Okay, I believe in the loyalty of General Mekkatorque." Prince Epsis interrupted the nobles' doubts, and supported Mekkatorque at the critical moment.

Mekkatorque looked up at Prince Epsys, and suddenly felt a little more comfort in his heart.

this moment.

He was extremely convinced that Prince Epsys was the one who truly looked at the world from the perspective of civilization among the entire Palesi royal family.

He suddenly felt that if Prince Epsis had sat on the throne of the church, perhaps the fate of civilization would have gone another way.

Unfortunately, all this is impossible.

Now, sitting on the throne is Saint Rhys Celatis.

Although the noble faction showed hostility to Mekkatorque, Prince Epsis had already spoken. As the leader of the noble faction, after he spoke, the other nobles naturally shut up.

Prince Epsis glanced at St. Reese and reminded: "What should be discussed now is the strategy to deal with the current situation, not to shirk responsibility."

Saint Rhys Celatis took a deep breath, forced his emotions back, and said: "Mekkatorque, do you have any coping strategies for the current situation?"

The meeting finally got back on track.

Mekkatorque calmed down quickly, and said in a deep voice: "Currently, apart from the Sigmar rebels, the other three rebels have been controlled by the abolitionist faction. .

"I don't need to explain the request of this group of abolitionists, it is impossible for everyone present to agree.

"Therefore, the conflict between civilization and the abolitionist rebels is no longer reconcilable.

"Even if the contradictions cannot be reconciled, there is no choice but to suppress and minimize the destruction of civilization by the abolitionist rebels."

"Suppression? When Duke Antudier suppressed the low-level rebels, but you executed him, but now you say you want to suppress it?" Duke Tuttle pushed mockingly in his tone.

Mekkatorque didn't even look at Duke Tuttle, and said coldly: "I only make the best choice in the current environment.

"If you can appease the low-level rebels, of course you must appease them.

"Since it cannot be appeased, it is necessary to use a thunderous blow to defeat the rebels and minimize the damage to civilization."

His tone was cold, but what he said was completely opposite to what he said half a year ago.

After hearing this, Prince Epsis didn't sneer like other nobles, but he valued Mekkatorque more.

As a war commander, what is needed is this kind of decisiveness.

Mekkatorque decided to suppress, and Duke Antudier decided to suppress. The two seem to have made the same decision, but at different times, the results are completely different.

"Since you want to suppress it, you should be decisive and quick. Your Majesty, you can send orders." Prince Epsys looked at St. Reese.

Saint Rhys Celatis frowned, he didn't want to just agree with Mekkatorque's strategy, and asked aloud: "If the civil war continues, the damage to the foundation of civilization will become greater and greater. Are you sure, can you To turn things around?"

Mekkatorque replied in a cold tone: "The civil war has lasted for nearly a year, and the research on vacuum zero point energy is about to be completed. Although the civil war has damaged the foundation of civilization, we still have a chance to turn the tables if we suppress the rebels in time.

"It's just that it's more difficult than before to make a comeback.

"Every next step is crucial. Whether we can go through it depends on whether the civilization can be united."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the noble gentlemen present, with mockery and scrutiny in his eyes.
