Chapter 558 Leave a Thought...[Five Thousand+]

The door in the hall was firmly closed, making the place fall into a dark tone of drowsiness. Probably considering what might happen next, the area around the hall had already been cleared by Enoch, and no one could be seen moving around.

There were three figures in the hall, either sitting, standing, or kneeling, motionless like sculptures, and making no sound.

The atmosphere is as solid as ice and as cold as water!

This state has been maintained for a long time, ever since Bosco came back to listen to Enoch's report. The tea that was slowly cooling on the table without any trace of smoke could prove this.

There was no violent storm of curses and beatings as expected. Bosco sat quietly on the wooden chair, leaning his back against the back of the chair with a little strength. His expression was quite calm, but the wrinkles on his old face twitched from time to time, and his eyes were dull and melancholy, as if he was watching something beautiful pass away, with regret and helplessness...

Of course, this situation is abnormal. Although there is no violence, this kind of attitude is like a muffled thunder lurking behind a dark cloud, and it is suspected that the situation will become more serious.

Seeing something bad, "Ahem..." After coughing a few times, Enoch was the first to break the silence in the room. He knew his eldest brother Bosco very well. If this continued, Borg would really be doomed! After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Brother...Actually, this is not entirely Borg's fault. Of course, he was a bit reckless, but we are also responsible..."

Borg couldn't help but look slightly happy when he heard this, but he still didn't dare to make any move. He lowered his head and knelt down.

"If we could have told him what was going on here earlier...well." At this point, Bosco raised his hand slightly, and Enoch's persuasive voice suddenly stopped. Two palms covered with drooping dead skin and covered with age spots crossed each other. Pinched. Bosco looked at Berg steadily. "So, you have told me about Tang En's name, identity, and position in the Gray Army?"[

"Well..." Borg's lips twisted, as if he wanted to defend something, but thinking of Enoch's previous instructions, he finally just nodded.

"Okay, okay." He praised with unclear meaning, and Bosco's old eyes narrowed slightly. With a complicated expression, he said, "The fate of the whole family is at stake, and everyone has worked hard for so many years. In the end, all the efforts fell short, and everything was destroyed in one day... Borg, Borg, you have finally done something big!"

Enoch was startled when he heard this and said anxiously: "Brother..."

Waving his hand, Bosco seemed oblivious. He didn't know whether he was too angry or something else. Seeing that Borg still showed no sign of anger, he asked softly: "Look at you. You are wondering why things are happening like this." The situation?"

Borg opened his mouth and raised his head slightly. Looking at Bosco's expression that was neither happy nor angry, he didn't know whether to answer or remain silent for a moment. Just as he was about to look at his third uncle Enoch next to him, suddenly,

A loud shout, "Raise your head and answer me!"

"Uh...yes, yes, father."

"Okay, then I'll tell you now." The ferocious expression quickly faded. Bosco abnormally regained his composure and said in a deep voice, "After we reached a cooperation a few months ago, our relationship with Bran has gradually eased. Dawn. There are not only gray-clad soldiers in the city. Gradually, civilians from the surrounding countryside, bold business travelers, curious travelers from far away, etc., continue to appear in the city. And just a few days ago, the Temple of Light also sent people over, thinking A church is to be built here.”

After a pause, he continued, "After several discussions, Luo Sha finally chose to refuse. Of course, the refusal was very tactful and gave many reasons. In short, the current environment is not suitable... Ha, on the surface, Unless it’s just to build a church, there’s no environment that wouldn’t be suitable. But what about actually?”

"The power and influence of the Temple of Light is very large, far greater than the outline we usually see vaguely. In a sense, King Bran's court must also be afraid of three points. Therefore, for such a power, Bu All the Lan Empire can do is to keep appeasing the other party and constantly granting them various rights... Haha, the clergy of the Temple of Light don't have to work, but they get more. Luxurious clothes, exquisite food, and several guard cavalry. …”

"Broken down to the local level, every majestic church, every brick and tile and colorful statue in it is not paid for by the Temple of Light, but from the tax treasury of the Bran Empire and the pockets of every rich or poor believer. . In addition, after each church is built, it will receive a large amount of land and farms within a hundred miles of the surrounding area. The number and size vary depending on the size of the church. Well, this is a stipulation of the imperial law. Just like the nobles, they hire civilians for farming. , and get most of the results, but they have to be more high-sounding, but there are stupid civilians who fall into this trap..."

Having said this, the experienced Lord Atomic shook his head slightly. It seemed that due to the change in his identity, he was no longer interested in the model of the Temple of Light.

"But the gray-clothed army is different? Not to mention that the land around Dawn City has been distributed, even if there is still some left, it cannot be given to the Temple of Light in vain. The reason is very simple, that is, the people in the gray-clothed army are no longer simple Civilians! Perhaps they would not think so far, but seeing that they could hand over the results so easily with a sword and a gun, throwing their heads and blood, and sacrificing the lives of several companions, and their identities are still farm laborers, they would be willing ?"

"It is undeniable that there are believers of the God of Light among them, but most of them just have faith now and will no longer devote themselves foolishly. The reason for this is very simple. It is that when their families were broken up and their wives and children were separated, they believed in it before Where is the God of love and light?”

"Don't understand? Okay, let me give you another example. When our family was still a noble, how much property did we donate to the church every week? Haha, it's quite a lot. It's ridiculous that I smuggled it in the first place, just for peace of mind, and also for I prayed for peace and donated a lot. But what was the result? What was supposed to happen happened, and we have fallen here... Now, the family has narrowly escaped death several times with the Gray Army, and we have finally become members of the Parliament through our own efforts. , ascending to a position that was previously unimaginable..."[

Sighing, "Borg, things are different now. We are like this, and so are the Gray Army. Compared to the illusory gods, now everyone is more willing to believe in their own hands! And this... also moved the Temple of Light. The foundation. Haha. If there are only a few people, that’s fine. But with the Gray Army’s scale of more than 100,000 people, if this trend spreads... do you think the Temple of Light would want to see this happen?"

Boge shook his head blankly when he heard this, his face was so pale that there was no trace of blood. Enoch next to him was not much better. He vaguely knew that the Gray Army and the Temple of Light were not going to deal with him, but limited to information, knowledge, etc., he was naturally not as thorough and far-reaching as Bosco.

"Haha, everyone in the world has seen that the Gray Army has been making trouble for so many years and has become a thorn in the eyes and flesh of the Bran Empire. But it has not seen that we have also become what the Temple of Light calls a 'cult and heresy'... The former seems irreconcilable. Now They also cooperated. But it is absolutely impossible for the latter to reconcile. In the end, if one party does not make concessions... that is, we are the weaker ones, the result can only be a fight to the death!"

"Of course, the conflict has not reached that point yet, and even though the Temple of Light is quite wary of the Gray Army, their neutral stance, external bright image, etc. have restricted their hands and feet, making it difficult for them to attack us directly. So, Luo Sha They dared to refuse the proposal of people from the Temple of Light before. But Borg, you gave them the best excuse... Four great deacons of light. One inspector of the four directions, one cardinal deputy. Three holy knight captains. This way. With such hatred, no other excuse is needed. Sigh... Tang En, Tang En, how on earth did you do it..."

Rao Shi had received the news a long time ago, and Rao Ruo Bosco, the capital of the city, couldn't help but shake his head in admiration when he said this, with a look of disbelief on his face. But that's not the point. Borg's lips trembled and he stammered, "This, this, this... So, the Temple of Light is going to take action against us?"

"Idiot!" Bosco glanced coldly and slowly stood up from the wooden chair, "It was the Temple of Light and the Bran Empire army that took action together! You chose a good time. The barbarians in the Northern Wilderness retreated, and Bran no longer had to worry about anything. Temple of Light There is such an honest excuse for revenge. Even if this is a new aristocratic force that cooperates closely with us, they must not even dare to tip off this time!"

"I, I, I..."

Taking a step forward, "Do you now know what kind of trouble you got into?"

"Know, know..."

Stepping forward again, "Do you understand the reason now?"

Seeing Bosco pressing forward step by step, Borg looked horrified, and his kneeling body couldn't help but lean back and try to escape: "Understood, Father, you..."

"That's good!" interrupted directly, Bosco's face was as gloomy as water, and he stepped straight in front of Borg. But at this moment, Enoch, who was on the side, changed his face after hearing the words that sounded like 'Let you die clearly'. He quickly stood between the two of them, parried with both hands, and begged urgently, "Brother, what are you doing?" What to do..."

Before he could finish his words, "Get out!" There was a sudden roar, like a thunderous explosion, which made the hall door buzz and tremble. Enoch stood stunned on the spot when he heard the sound, looking at Bosco who was like a roaring lion and couldn't recover for a long time.

"Phew, I'm sorry..." As if he had vented his anger, Bosco let out a long sigh and patted Enoch on the shoulder, "Don't worry, although I did want to kill him, he is indeed the only heir of the family. This This time, I just wanted to leave him a thought..."

With that said, Bosco walked around him and walked to the trembling Borg. He leaned over and reached out to touch the scarred left cheek: "Fighting with Michu, designing to trap Tang En... This scar is like this. Don’t you have confidence?”

"No...it's not..." He shook his head hurriedly, his upper body trembling with fear, but his kneeling calves were extremely tight resisting the desire to escape. This awkward look made Borg look very weird.

"In that case..." Slowly touching the centipede-shaped scar that had almost healed and the dead skin on the outside was gradually peeling off, Bosco's eyes flashed coldly, and his strong five fingers suddenly became rugged, "I'll throw it away for you! "

Hiss...chi...

The shadow of his hand flashed, and there was a sudden and horrifying sound of skin being torn apart. Immediately, a large amount of blood suddenly spurted out, "Ah..." The extremely sharp and hoarse miserable wailing instantly resounded through the hall, and Borg covered his face with his hands all over the floor. Rolling around, blood spilled, as if crazy!

Throwing away the centipede-like dead skin scar that was torn off, Bosco slowly raised his hand and wiped the blood spattered between his eyebrows. His expression was so quiet, looking at Borg rolling crazily next to his feet...

…

…

After a while, silence returned to the hall.

Borg had been taken down for treatment, but the scars had been torn off again, although his face looked bloody. Extremely tragic. But of course such injuries are not fatal. Borg was still conscious even when he was carried down.

Of course, this injury still dealt a huge blow to Borg, not only physically, but most importantly from the mental level. This kind of real act of opening scars for the second time undoubtedly doubled Borg's previous humiliation, and he may never forget it in this life.

In this way, it can be considered as a real thought...

Looking at the large pool of blood in the center of the hall that had not been cleaned up in time, Enoch shook his head: "Brother, you are still too impulsive this time. I am afraid it will leave a shadow on Borg. You let him..."

"In the future? Let's talk about the future after the current situation is over." Bosco pinched the bridge of his nose, looking a little tired, and waved his hands vigorously.

Enoch was silent after hearing this. This was the fact, because Borg's sudden move would have to be reversed no matter what their previous plans were. Nai raised his head and sighed, and asked, "Brother, how are you going to deal with it? We should know this news now, um. Should we let the wind go and inform Luo Sha and the others?"

Shaking his head, Bosco frowned: "What's the use of informing them? There are no Northern Wilderness barbarians to restrain us this time. With the high-end military force of the Temple of Light and the regular army of Bran, we... have no chance of winning!"

"Then...evacuate Dawn City?"

"This is feasible. But..." The old eyes narrowed slightly, and the drooping face twitched a few times, "I am not willing to give in! We have finally struggled to reach our current position, and the glory of the family is about to reach its peak openly. Once the gray-clothed army retreats, This is all over... No! This opportunity must not be missed!"

boom! With a hammer on the wooden table next to him, the cooling tea instantly tipped over. For a moment, Bosco's expression suddenly became particularly fierce, "I didn't want to take this road at first, but now, I can only say I'm sorry!"

When Enoch heard this, his heart moved, and he immediately understood the person he was sorry for. He was slightly startled, and then licked his dry lips: "Brother, what do you mean... betrayal?"

He nodded, "Well, other than that, we don't have a choice." Bosco said, "We have been together for such a long time, and seeing that it is really unnecessary, I plan to use my status as a councilor to gradually break away from the gray clothes. The army. But now that the plan cannot keep up with the changes, we can only go back to being a villain..."

Enoch was silent, his breathing a little rapid. From the bottom of his heart, he, including Bosco and everyone in the family, actually had a somewhat disapproving attitude toward the Gray Army. I hate the strange smell that never goes away from these people, I hate the vulgar curse words these people use in the end, I hate the stupid minds of these people who only know how to fight and kill... But after all, we have lived and died together for so long, Let’s fight through the bloody storm together. Human beings are not grass and trees, who can have feelings...

Shaking his head and taking a deep breath, Enoch instantly cleared his mind of all the inappropriate thoughts and asked coldly: "What should we do specifically?"

"In recent times, I have also been in contact with several outside people through my status as a council member. I will write a letter later, and you can find a way to quickly pass it on and ask them to contact the people in the Temple of Light on their behalf..." After a pause, Boss Ke tapped his forehead and said, "Our bargaining chip now is our identity as an internal agent. Later you will investigate the city defense and see which teams will be defending the city in the next few days. Our people must be involved in this area. Humph, The other side will not think about approaching the city and fighting a tough battle with many casualties."

"Well, but the lunatics in the Temple of Light are not stable. We still have to find a way to contact the noble Bran, and it must be from His Highness's side. This time our bargaining chip is our status as a parliamentarian. Let's say that we are willing to exchange this parliamentary title for a Grant an amnesty order! This should be no problem. With a little effort, you can get a lot of credit and a parliamentary seat. They will not lose this deal. And our request... Count. If you sacrifice so much, you must get something back."

"There is also the issue of peripheral patrol..."

This change came too suddenly. Even a wily and calculating person like Bosco could only reverse the consequences and calculate every step of the plan in reverse. I think of it one after another, and it is very tedious...

Now from his standpoint, it is naturally best to kill the gray-clothed army completely here, otherwise his family may be in the midst of successive assassinations for the rest of his life. But it has to be said that there is really not much time left for him. Compared with killing the Gray Army, his first consideration is how to extricate his family from this matter and ensure safety.

…

After discussing like this for a while, Bosco and Enoch racked their brains and finally came up with a plan to initially ensure the safety of the family. Immediately, they didn't want to think about anything else. After all, the details of the plan were enough to keep them busy for several days.

After sorting out the listed details, Enoch hurriedly put the plan paper into his arms and was about to say goodbye and go out. But at this moment, Bosco seemed to remember something, and suddenly slapped his forehead, "Wait, there is another person, we must not ignore it."

"who?"

"Mi Xiu, and the gray space team under him."

"Uh..." Enoch couldn't help but be startled when he heard this. He subconsciously glanced at the pool of blood in the hall, frowned and asked, "Will he affect our plan?"

Bosco nodded: "Well, don't underestimate Michu. You don't know it from the outside. He is directly under the command of Luo Sha. Some time ago, he came back to recuperate, and dozens of people in the gray space destroyed all the people in Dawn City. We searched every corner of the city. They were the ones responsible for the city defense catching a few traitors in Bran who had sneaked in. So I’m afraid our next series of actions won’t be hidden from him.”

"What should we do? Get rid of him first?"

"It's a bit risky. According to what I know, his strength is not low... Well, take some time out in the afternoon and bring all the warriors in the family to meet him. If you can get him to join the gang, that would be the best. If not, tonight Just get rid of him!"

"Okay. But brother, he is Tang En's subordinate, so he probably won't agree to us."

"It's hard to say... let's give it a try." Bosco squinted his eyes, his eyes flashing, "This person is a little different from Tang En..."
