Chapter 850 Chapter 19.25 (Part 1) Extracting the soul, great sacrifice.
Time goes back to a month ago, May 15, the northern continent of Wanlun Continent. That is the hottest stage of industry in this collision between the old and the new in the contemporary era.
In the capital of Anglo, the streets are much emptier. Due to the magic disaster, there are fewer people and the buses are much quieter, but there are more black cars and motorcycle guards. In the Imperial Parliament, the elders with cigars in their mouths are now seriously discussing the current situation.
At this time, the "Holy Order Alliance" (the self-proclaimed conservatives of the Anglo colonialists in Vaner) is not dominant on either the southern or northern fronts. In the battle on the eastern front and Oshima, the heavy armored coalition forces of Vaner and Anglo have been constantly consumed after the battle of Medog and are already at the end of their strength.
Now after the battle of Tuomu Plain, Iron Star has extended the bombardment to the west bank of the Lion River. The 200mm caliber super-barreled artillery dragged by Oshima's assault armored regiment has knocked the shells on the permanent fortifications of the Hamburg Fortress.
In the latest active attack ordered by Poma, both flanks of Vaner's main corps were penetrated and surrounded by the Iron Star's aerospace armored forces at the same time.
As for the aerospace battle group sent by the Anglo side, oh, it was highly expected at the beginning, but in the air battle, it was beaten 20:1.
The top general of Osima Iron Star, only 20 years old, he really dominated the sky.
The Anglo side sent out the air corps. Led by Finn, it was defeated three times in less than ten days. Only two or three of the three air corps escaped. After the front-line airfield was built, it was discovered half an hour after taking off and was swept clean by missiles.
If Finn had not covered his tracks and retreated in time when he was defeated on the front line, and if the Holy Great Wall had not been interested in pursuing him in order to cover the ground battle, Finn would have crashed several times.
On the other hand, it also shows that the Holy Great Wall did not take Finn, who was only one year younger, seriously at all.
Countless steel melted, and the war in the north made the families that had been prominent for hundreds or even thousands of years worried.
…Under the rule of the gods, mortals only worry about the present, not the future. …
So the small situation in the old southern continent was not discussed at the meeting at all, even at this time Yunli's life and death was unknown, and Nuli was determined to use the "dead power", how many people would die from evil. It's just a number.
At this time, Nuli's report requesting additional troops in the south was also piled up at the bottom. In Anglo's view, as long as the problem in the north is solved, they will return to the old southern continent, and everything will be easy.
Now all the problems are whether they can overwhelm the Iron Star camp. Are Oshima and the Sky Alliance, as well as their Vaner allies "reliable" in this war?
Now the Vaner ambassador has reached the latest wartime industrial alliance agreement with the Anglo Army. This agreement involves alliances in multiple industries such as coal and iron.
The marshal of the Imperial Navy Group slammed his pipe on the table, severely reprimanded the document sent by the Provisional Government, and rebuked: "This is treason."
Now the Vaner side asked the Anglos to open up a second battlefield in the Baltic Sea with all its fleets.
This is a plan to sacrifice pawns to save the chariot, but as the navy of the Anglos to maintain the connection between the world's colonies, why take this risk?
Now everyone knows how powerful the aviation and ballistic missile strike force of Iron Star is now. And the Anglos have confirmed that the Iron Star's "Liaokuo" aviation flagship that can take off and land the Dragon Guard Squadron is conducting a large-scale mobile tactical voyage in the North Ocean.
Once this maritime adventure plan approved by the Provisional Government is implemented, Vaner's heavy armored forces can be withdrawn, but the essence of Anglos will be unable to recover. What will they use to maintain colonial order at that time?
In the Anglo Parliament, these coastal factions expressed their dissatisfaction with Vaner without hesitation: Vaner's ambitions are expanding, and sooner or later he will pay the price.
However, the Speaker of the Parliament suggested that the naval faction should take a look at the situation now.
At this time, after the disaster of the Demon Rebellion, the Anglo-European industrial power has been embedded in the capital of Vaner.
Vaner also sent troops to "protect" these important military assets against evil from the enemy.
Most of the Anglo-European land parliamentarians have advanced and retreated with Vaner, but on the side of the colonial sea power, they are close to Vaner.
If the colonies were not in chaos now, the Anglo-European sea power faction would have been a bystander to this land war. They quietly transferred their industries overseas, and then began to rely on the colonial supply capabilities to sell strategic materials to the "neutral" side. (Just like the operation of the United States in World War II.)
Of course, the reason why the old Anglo-European politicians denied the right-wingers' strategy of "glorious independence" is that it is not suitable now, and they can't keep going like this.
At this time, after the demon disaster, the most valuable resources are not only the army and industry, but also the people's hearts. The Anglo-European people's hearts are scattered, which is the most serious moment in hundreds of years.
At this time, the hope of victory of the people's hearts of Iron Star is pinned on the current broad ideology of fairness. The Verein side is the concept of "freedom", but in fact it is an ideology for the interests of the big bourgeoisie.
As for the feudal military group of the Anglo-German sea power, in fact, the legal system is theocracy. When the demonic disaster came, the Anglo-Germans generally had the desperate thought of "God has abandoned us".
After losing the "people's hearts" and "confidence", the Anglo-German conservatives urgently needed the driving force that could make their faction act collectively.
…"Religion" is a technique to gather "people's hearts" and maintain the "driving force of collective action". This technique is like a stimulant. The effect is so good that most superficial civilizations take it without paying attention to the sequelae. …
On May 21, when the "holy order" had begun to cover the Anglo-American world, even ordinary cafeteria breakfasts had to strictly abide by the sacramental consciousness.
The bigwigs of the Anglo-American Navy came to the underground secret base of the new capital.
In this base, there are a large number of "crystal materials" with high information density. These are high-magic crystal stones in the magic era, and now they have become special materials in the scientific era.
The base is specially equipped with a large number of nuclear power plants for energy supply. Electric current is passed into the supercomputers made of these precious materials to accumulate "computing power", just like a water pump, extracting pure "holy power" from the sky. Oh, that is, the "information enthalpy" used by the traversers in this world.
In the temple ceremony, Sherris, as one of the persons in charge, is using a golden brush to draw a magic circle for the holy object.
Small details: This is obviously a magic circle for summoning the Holy Spirit. Everyone is dedicating their spiritual power during the drawing process, but a thin thread in the magic circle flows into her like a trickle. Shirley discovered this, but she didn't dare to say it, because now Anglo wants to summon a saint, but not her.
... In the words of the 21st century, if you are approved as a reincarnation, then you are, and if you are not approved, then you should not say "you are"...
On the underground altar, like in the mouth of a golden cup, a huge conceptual force is being compressed. In the huge accumulation, a space distortion comparable to the ignition of a star is formed, and a body structure is being printed in the void, which is the body of God.
For a long time, religious beliefs have been driving Anglo's voyage. As early as the sailing battleship era, when people were on the sea and looked at the vast sea around them, and the land was far away, when food was still abundant, they might raise a cat to make up for it. When food and fresh water began to be scarce and rationed, if they wanted to avoid being trapped in a fight, they had to believe that they still needed a saint to lead them forward.
It is the same now. When the Anglo factions on the sea are getting more and more embarrassed, their faith is actually getting purer and purer, and they hope for a leader.
And such faith just echoes the interference of the gods in this world at this time.
At this time, this world is full of the unruly people of Iron Star, which makes the gods more and more dissatisfied.
…The gods need to make serious mistakes in the planes they don’t like, and then destroy them. Now Anglo is doing this, giving the gods a reason to "abandon" the world...
Beside the altar, after the Anglo Navy Marshal's mind was linked with the Holy Spirit of the summoning array, he suddenly felt as if he was immersed in the sea, and then saw the extremely bright but very distant existence across the increasingly pressured seabed.
God: "You came to me this time because the outcome of the battle in the Whispering Wind City is about to be decided, right?"
The marshal, bathed in the "holy" light from top to bottom, nodded, tacitly agreeing with this answer, and then said: "Karus (Saint), you said, God's test for us~" His tone was hesitant, because in the current war, he was embarrassed to think that his side performed well.
Saint: "God thinks that this is in line with your usual level."
The generals of Anglo didn't know how to answer. Anglo had a good hand, but it suddenly became rotten after a few years.
God should be dissatisfied. But these smart people in Anglo would not ask it publicly.
...Karus is not a saint, but an angel of destruction. ...
In the four disasters of the apocalypse, disputes, wars, and plagues have all come to this world. Narrator: Finzheng, Lance, and Nuli did not feel it themselves, but they have been placed in position as chess pieces.
And the last one is Karus. Unlike Finn, Lance, and Nulite who knew nothing about their positions, "Apocalypse Agent" Karus had a clear consciousness and knew what he was going to do.
The underground altar that summoned Karus was 666 meters underground, and directly above it was the slums of the gray-black city of Anglo. Due to the food supply problem caused by the war, many poor people started catching rats in the garbage holes of the slums.
However, in the Anglo newspapers, it was just sensational propaganda: Iron Starism committed numerous crimes throughout the Wanlun continent and persecuted those people who yearned for free values.
However, it was very ironic that Anglo looked sacred and accepted the rich people in the South Continent who were "persecuted" after the Saturn transformation. Then these nobles of the cultural class in the South Continent escaped the clutches of the Saturn control area, but under the charm of Anglo's "religion", they "voluntarily" offered their property to the free Anglo.
These "property owners" from the old southern continent lived a "happy life" of "repairing water pipes" and "cleaning up garbage" in the lower areas of Anglo.
But now, with the super war spreading across the north and south continents, food supply problems have arisen, and these immigrants in the southern old continent who yearn for "civilization" have become "security problems" in the eyes of the Anglo rulers.
The Anglo "civilized" rulers are picking up silver dinner knives and carefully cutting steaks while discussing how to properly deal with these "problematic immigrants."
