A black dot loomed in the clear sky, and as the distance narrowed, the black dot gradually enlarged and expanded, revealing a specific silhouette - a sturdy black Pegasus, with long legs, strong and elegant tendons, wings flapping in the air. On the back of the black Pegasus, a slender man in black stared at the Governor's convoy below.

The figure of the man in black is slender and elegant, but there is no sense of weakness, and the cape, hood, and wide-brimmed hat on his body are all black, which not only makes people feel simple, but also brews a gorgeous atmosphere, and the atmosphere wrapped around this rider is undoubtedly the latter.

"As rumored, he has the same lust as that guy and is very high-profile. ”

Roland muttered quietly, the famous terrorist in the occupied part of Castile, the hero in the hearts of many people in the occupied area, and the object of the Titans occupation army's desire to get rid of - the dress of the "fox" made him can't help but think of someone, but unlike the "fox" as gorgeous as a stage play, the black color on that person has no room for emotional intervention, but only advocates functionality in a very pure way.

(Not only are the colors similar, but even the set that likes to surprise people is quite similar.) ）

The hands holding swords and pistols added a force, and in the exclamation of the crowd, the soldiers raised their guns and aimed them in the air, and the commanders secretly aimed at Roland while restraining the soldiers.

With the on-site firepower configuration, coupled with the snipers aiming in the shadows, it is not difficult to take out the "fox" that is as swaggering as the billboard. But in the absence of an order from the Supreme Commander on the spot, no one dared to act rashly.

Everyone was glued to Roland. From time to time, he looked up at the "man in black" in the air, and anxiety and anxiety accumulated in the air little by little.

Only one person was not involved in the whirlpool of resonance, and analyzed the situation coldly.

(For a terrorist, this determination and courage are remarkable.) ）

In order to promote their own ideas, most terrorists often do some directional propaganda, such as spreading rumors, distributing leaflets, printing underground newspapers, etc., and beheading people is also part of it. But these indirect propaganda can not resonate much, except for the middle two and snake at the bottom of the society, there are always very few people who are willing to respond to "other people's things".

Relative. Rebels who dare to speak out in public are also rare. Apart from the general premise of the anti-system and the attitude of the authorities not accepting and approving it, the personality of the rebels themselves, whether left or right, is really rare, and it is difficult to expect them to respond in a gentleman's way.

But once there is such a person—a fearless person who stands up like a martyr. His words and deeds have had an impact on the people that ordinary people can hardly imagine. Maybe they can't change the world directly. But their ideas and ideas can be the catalyst. It injects a catalyst into the lifeless social production, triggers various chemical reactions, and eventually leads to a wave of social change.

Li Lin can't say whether the "fox" will become such a figure. But there's no doubt that shooting him now will have that effect.

"Silas. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency. The lower officer has confirmed the target and can snipe at any time. ”

The female voice came along the radio, cold and chilling.

From the Peter Strassel spacecraft, you can only faintly see tiny black spots in the sky, and with the chaotic air currents in the city, it is almost impossible to snipe at a target 2 kilometers away. Even the best snipers with high-precision sniper rifles are difficult to accomplish.

Limited by the physiological limit, about 1500 meters is the limit distance that intelligent snipers can snipe.

Silas is not a sapient species, and the limits of the intelligent species do not matter to her.

On the concealed gun position of the luxury spaceship, the Major General of the Personal Guard raised the 71 times diameter 88mm chariot gun with one hand and pointed it into the distance, and a point smaller than a mosquito in the eyes of a human eye appeared in the dragon's pupil as if it was close at hand.

All it takes is a command, a trigger pull.

"Stay on watch, standby. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

The answer was concise and forceful, as cold as before, but a trace of reluctance could still be heard after careful discernment.

She probably really wanted to blow up the "fox" like this, right? It is conceivable that the desire to pull the trigger is no different from torture for a militant like her, but unfortunately it is not the right time for her, and she must endure it.

"Fox" is a felony on the wanted list worth 50,000 gold coins, whether dead or alive, and now he has appeared in front of the governor and the garrison like a net, even if he is beaten into a colander, it is purely deserved, Charlemagne can be said to have shot and killed suspicious people in order to protect the fourth prince. As for whether he had this intention or not, that was not the point, even if he didn't have a weapon on him, just get him one.

However, now was no good time to do so, as long as he was killed or died on the battlefield without making an active attack, he had a good chance of becoming a hero of the Castilians. Instead of being betrayed by the people he loved and guarded, as Li Lin had planned, he died in spurning and curse.

In order to successfully complete this highly subversive operation, he cannot die for the time being.

"So, what will be done?"

Staring at the two people who were gradually approaching, Li Lin asked in a relaxed tone.

＃＃＃＃＃＃＃

What to do?

This question is also hovering in everyone's mind, regardless of position or status, everyone is thinking about it.

The soldiers peeked at their commanders as they took aim, and the officers' eyes swept over the restless crowd from time to time, sweating profusely in their palms clutching pistols or wands, and some of the officers were slowly closing in on the crowd, ready to hide in the crowd as soon as possible "just in case." The citizens looked at the sky and then at the governor, and bewildered and anxious were written on their faces.

In comparison, the Governor and the black-clad knight, who were lowering their height, were too calm, and their strong sense of presence even engulfed the surrounding crowd. People just looked at those two people and didn't say a word.

Under the nervous gaze, the black Pegasus slowly landed on the ground, and the two looked at each other silently.

In Roland's opinion, the other party is about the same height as himself, because he is dressed in black, his physique looks thin, but the thick body outline shows that he has undergone rigorous training, judging from the calm sitting posture on horseback, he has good attainments in equestrianism and swordsmanship.

Roland sighed secretly. It's not clear how deep the other party's cultivation in magic is. I don't think it's much worse. Judging from the fact that he dared to appear here alone, in addition to his extraordinary courage, most of them also prepared some proper strategies. The previous assessment needs to be corrected, and the "fox" is more difficult than expected.

"Don't show that 'it's really troublesome' expression. The young master of the consortium. When you set foot on a land that is not yours. You should have thought that all kinds of troubles would come to you. ”

The voices of men and women who are difficult to distinguish spread out, as if they were using wind attribute techniques to interfere with air conduction to achieve voice change, and after the voice change, Castilian still speaks clearly. It shows that he has a high level of fine control of the technique.

An interpreter in a suit and breeches hurried over, and Roland shook his head at the sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked fellow, turned his head and said:

"There are problems, but there is always a solution. Nothing in this world is eternal, and so are troubles. ”

The fluency of Castilian made a small wave in the crowd, and the first hearing of the governor's voice, and the words spoken in Castilian, somewhat surprised the townspeople. In their conception, Charlemagne were rude, mechanical, posturing creatures who spoke in an unintelligible language and ran amok under the leadership of the interpreter and Wang Xiejun. When I heard the young Governor speak in their language, I felt a little closeness in my heart, in addition to the shock.

"Huh-"

The "fox" narrowed his eyes in surprise, and despite his preparation, Roland's return was so beautiful that he couldn't help but want to praise it.

In fact, Roland can not understand Castilian as a cover, and pick up the plane to get more time to think when the translator repeats it. But he saw through the deliberate use of Castilian to speak, and to refer to Roland as "the young master of the consortium" instead of "governor", evoking the citizens' sense of national identity while denying the legitimacy of Charlemagne's rule.

In addition, there is another subtext in Roland's speech - nothing is eternal, including national borders and national identity.

- What a perfect response.

"Mr. Roland. ”

The salutation changed slightly, but the cold and hard tone did not change at all.

"Your words apply to yourself as well, can your reign continue?"

(Sure enough, it came-)

Grunting inwardly, Roland was unsurprised to take the scathing counterattack.

"I can't guarantee that kind of thing. ”

The crowd stirred up again, and when the interpreter had finished relaying his words, the officials also cast surprised glances, and Minerva poked her head out of the carriage and looked at Roland's back.

For some reason, the answer that was too honest and almost stupid in the eyes of others seemed reasonable to her.

As Roland himself said before, nothing is eternal, and the same is true of his rule.

Although he is cautious, he tries his best to seek the balanced development of the entire SAR without touching the interests of all parties, and does his best to improve the people's living standards. But the foundation of this governance is based on the support of plutocracy, politicians, and warlords, and when they feel that Roland is too good to the Castilians, or that the Castilians feel that he cares too much about the corporations and ignores the vulnerable, conflict is inevitable.

Just last evening, he learned through Guò's internal channels that the "Giant Dangerous Project for the Suppression of the Workers' Movement, Kuthra", which was personally supervised by the head of the Guard, Nidhogg, was approaching the stage of putting into practical use, and that a new chapter in the history of the big capitalists' suppression of the workers' movement and left-wingers was about to begin. On the same day, in San Sebastian, a group of miners in wagons loaded with explosives rushed into the Titans barracks to launch a self-bombing attack, killing hundreds of soldiers.

In this context, where both sides are always fighting, or always ready to fight. To achieve lasting reconciliation is nothing short of a joke.

But—

"So, shouldn't I give a better life to this land and its people?"

“......”

The answer is clear.

"There may be a lot of problems, and there may be failures in the end, but you can't stop doing what you can do, right?"

Without action, there will naturally be no change, even if it is not possible to get a satisfactory result for the time being, but it does not mean that it will always be the same.

The young man lifted his shawl and said indifferently:

"So, what about you?"

"Me?"

"An amnesty decree is ready for you. It can be signed at any time. If you wish, you can take up an official position in the SAR government that has completed the reorganization, or you can live an ordinary life. ”

"Should you say that you are a rare good person......

The man in black pulled the brim of his hat and said sternly:

"Mr. Roland. Do you know what you just said?"

Words like dreams and kindness should not be confused with reality. Conspiracy is not the whole of the world. But it's really moving the world around.

Zhao'an is a kind of conspiracy.

For the people to stand on their own, it is better than for tyrants who impose tyranny. Enlightened and moderate dictators are much more terrifying.

Even if the people do nothing, the rain of grace will fall on its own. Moreover, in the case of the Special Administrative Region alone, in the past siege battles, it responded to the call of the lord and the priest to participate in the defense of the city, but the regular army and civilian volunteers who defended the city were ultimately defeated by Titans. After that, there were various revolts, but they were all suppressed, and the governor at that time responded to the rebellion with repressive terror. Based on past experience, the Salbadours of today are quite cautious about the anti-colonial struggle. They fear that if they do it again, they will succeed or not, and if it fails, which is quite likely, the previous repression of terror may return. Compared to that bloody period, the reign of the current Governor is much better.

Even if the "fox" shouts the slogan "drive out Charlemagne" and instigates an uprising, I am afraid that it will be difficult to reproduce the situation in the past when all calls were answered and the whole city rose up. That being said, there should not have been any active efforts to protect the Doge and the Castilians. If there is an uprising now, I am afraid that four percent of the adults will respond, and the remaining sixty percent will wait and see what happens, and the forty percent of those who respond are really acting because of national feelings, and I am afraid that less than one percent will be in charge. This is the case because since the current Governor took office, their living conditions have indeed improved, even better than before the war. It is a little more difficult to get people who benefit from the policy to risk their lives and even their lives to oppose the ruling authorities.

Giving candy after the whip was a common way for powerful countries to administer their colonies, but in reality it was a situation that the rebels, including the "foxes", could not sit idly by. If the "fox", the banner of the national independence struggle, is now recruited, the resistance movement in the Sarhaddou district will really have to close its doors.

"Do you know? Young Master of the Foundation, those touching words of yours just feel chills in my heart when I hear them. ”

“......”

"Give a better life to the land and the people here – you say so. But for us people in Castile, aren't you Charlemagne the one who has taken away this land and a stable life?"

In all fairness, this is too harsh for Roland, who has indeed done his best for the development of the Saarbadu District, but since the other party has disregarded his own safety and faced him like a real man. Then, if you don't show the same awareness, you can't fight against it.

No, in that case, you will be left with some kind of decisive, indelible regret - so the "fox's" instinct speaks. And this is something that I cannot bear or agree with at the expense of throwing up a single qiē to devote myself to the struggle for national independence......

"Little master, for us, you, and Charlemagne are like that, on behalf of Charlemagne, you sit in the position of the ruler, what you say about giving a better life, what you say about amnesty, this is the biggest deception and fraud in itself. ”

Whew-

Roland slowly exhaled the air that had accumulated in his lungs.

"Even if you say that, I won't give up on my current policy. ”

"yes......"

"Don't be mistaken, there's nothing I can do about what has happened in the past. However, the present and the future can change. That's what I think, and I've always believed. So—"

The boy took off his gloves, and the white gloves made an arc in the air and landed in the hands of the man in black.

"Like a man, let's have a fight. (To be continued......)
